MAI Wl'M IW IIT A Serious Cliargos against tho Mormons by Judgo Drumniontl, the Chiof Justice of tlio Territory His Rosignstion ond Evacuation in Disgust, and through fear of his Life. To the lion. Jer. 8. Black, Alt.'y Gen. of the United States, Washington City, D. C. My Dear Sir : As I havo concluded to resign tho ofllco of Justice of tho Supreme Court of the Territory of Utah, which posi tion I accepted in A. D. 1854, undor the administration of President Pierce, I doom it duo to the public to give some of the reasons why I do so. In the first place, Brigham Younff, tho Governor of Utah Territorv. is f -- tho acknow'edged head of the " Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints," common ly called " Mormons," and as such head the Mormons look to him, and to him alone, for the law by which they are to be governed ; therefore no law of Congress is by them con sidered binding in any manner. Secondly. I know that there is a secret oath bound organization among all the male members of thechurch, to acknowledge no law save the law of the " Holy Priesthood," which comes to the people through Brigham Young, direct from God, he, Young, being tho viccregent of God and the prophetic suc cessor of Jos. Smith, who was the founder of this blind and treasonable organization. Thirdly. I am fully aware that there is a set of men set apart by special order of the church, to take both the lives and property of persons who may question the authority of thechurch (the namos of whom I will promptly make known at a future timo.) Fourthly. That the records, papers, &c. of the Supremo Court have been destroyed by order of tho church, with direct knowledge and approbation of Governor B. Young, and tho federal officers grossly insulted for presuming to raise a single question about the treasonable act. Fifthly. That the federal offlcors of the territory are constantly insulted, harrassod and annoyed by the Mormons, and for thoso insults there is no redress. Sixthly. That the federal officers are daily compelled to hear the form of tho American government traduced, the chiof executives of tho nationboth living and dead, slandered and abused from the masses, as well as from all the leading membors of the church, in the most vulgar, loathsome and wicked manner that the evil passions of man can possibly conceive,Again : That aflor Moroni Green had been convicted in tho District Court before my colleague, Judge Kinney, of an assault with in tent to murder ; and afterwards, on appeal to the Supreme Court the judgment boingaffirm-ed and the said Green sentenced to the Penitentiary, Brigham Young gave a full pardon to said Green beforo he reached the Penitentiary ; also, that the said Governor Young pardoned a man by the name of Baker, who had been tried and sentenced to ten years' im prisonment in the Penitentiary for the murder of a dumb boy by the name of Whito- house, the proof showing one of tho most aggravated cases of murder that I ever knew being tried ; and to insult tho court and government officers, this man Young took this pardoned criminal with hint, in proper person-to church on tho next Sabbath after his conviction. Baker in the meantime having re ceived a full pardon from Gov. Brigham Young. These two men were Mormons. On the other hand, I charge tho Mormons, and Gov. Young in particular, with imprisoning five or six young men from Missouri and Iowa, who aro now in the penitentiary at Utah, without those men having violated any ciimi nal law in America, but they wereanti-Mormons, poor, unoducatod young men, on their way for California ; but because they emigrated from Illinois, Iowa or Missouri, and passed by Great Salt Lake City, thoy wore indicted by a Probate Court, and most brutally and inhumanly dealt with in addition to being summarily incarcerated in the saintly prison of tho territory of Utah. I also charge Gov. Young with constantly interfering with the federal courts, directing tho Grand Jury whom to indict and whom not; and, after the judges charge the Grand Juries as to their duties, that this man, Young, invariably has some member of tho Grand Jury advised in advance as to his will in relation to their labors.Und that his charge thus given is tho only charge known, obeyed or received by all the Grand Juries of the federal courts of Utah territory. Again, sir, after a careful and mature inves tigation, I have been compelled to come to the conclusion, heart-rending and sickening as it may be, that Capt. John W. Gunnison and his party of eight others, wore murdered by tho Indians in 1853, under the ordor. advice and direction of the Mormons ; that my illus trious and distinguished predecessor, Hon. Lo on idas Shaver, came to his doath by drinking poisonous liquors given to him under the order of tho leading men of the Mormon Church in Great Salt Lake City ; that the lato Sec retary of the Territory, A. W. Babbit, was murdered on the plains by band of Mormon marauder?, under the particular and special order of Brigham Young, Heber B. Kimball and J. M. Grant, and not by the In dians, as reported by the Mormons themsolves, and that they were sent from Salt Lako City for that purpose and that only ! and as mem bers of the Danite Band they were bound to do the will of Brigham Young, as the head of the Church, or forfeit their own lives. ' These reasons, with many others that I might give, which would bo too heart-rending to insert in this communication, have Induced me to resign the office of Justice of the Ter ritory of Utah, and again return to my adopted State of Illinois. My reason, sir, for making this communication thus publio is, that the Democratic party, with which I hare al MOUNT VERNON, ways strictly acted is tho party how in power, and therefore is tho party that should now be held responsible for the treasonable and dis graceful state of affairs that, now exists In Utah Territory, I could sir, if nocessary, re for to a cloud of witnesses to attest the rea sons I have given, and the charges, bold as they are, against those dospots who rule with an iron hand their hundred thousand souls In Utah, and thoir two hundred thousand souls of that notable territory, but shall not do so for the reason that the lives of such gentle men as I should designate in Utah and in California, would not be safe for a single day, In conclusion, sir, I have to say, that in my career as Justice of the Supreme Court of Utah Territory, I have tho consolation of knowing that I did my duty ; that neither threats nor intimidations drove me from that path ; upon the othor hand, I am pained to say, that I accomplished little good while there ; that the J udiciary is only treated as a farce. The only rule of law by which the infatuated followers of this curious people will be governed is tho law of the church, and that emanates from Gov. Brigham Young, and him alone. I do bclievo that if there was a man put in office as Governor of that territory, who is not a member of the church, (Mormon) and be supported with a sufficient military aid, that much good would result from such a course ; but, as the territory is now governed, and has been since the administration of Mr Fillmore, at which time Young received his appointment as Governor. It is noon-day madness and folly to attempt to administer the law in that territory. The officers aro in sulted, harrassed and murdered for doing their duty, and not recognizing Brigham Young as the only law-giver and law-maker on earth. Of this every man can bear incontestible evidence who has been willing to accept an ap pointment in Utah, and I assure you, sir, that no man would be willing to risk his life and property in that territory, after once trying the sad experiment. With an ardent desire that tho present administration will give due and timely aid to the officers that may be so unfortunate as to accept situations in that territory, and that tho withering curse which rest upon this nation by virtue of the "peculiar" and heartrending institutions of the territory of Utah, may be speedily removed, to the honor and credit of our happy country. I now remain your obedient servant, W. W. DTIUMMOXD, Justice of Utah Territory. March 30, A. D., 1857. Pheenix on Hoops. Mr. Phoenix writes : "Accompanied by my old friend Bntterfield, who had joined us at Memphis, I landed at New Orleans, and proceeded forthwith to the St Charles Hotel. At this great tavern Amos expected to meet his wife, who had arrived from California to rejoin him after a three months' separation. I never saw a man so nervous. He rode on the outsido of the coach with the driver, that he might obtain the earliest view of the building that contained his adored one. It was with great difficulty that I kept pace with him as ho "tumultously rushed up the steps leading to tho Rotunda." In an instant he was at the offico and gasping, "Irs. Butter-Beld." "In tho parlor, sir," replied Dan, and he was off. I followed and saw him stop with surprise as he came to the door. In the centre of the parlor stood Mrs. Butterfiold. That admirable lady had adopted tho latest and most voluminous style, and having on a rich silk of greenish hue, looked like a lovely bust on the summit of a new-mown hay stack. Buttei fluid was appalled for a moment, but hearing her cry " Amos !" he answered hyr tcrically, " my Amander 1 " and rushed on. lie ran three times round Mrs. Butterfiold. but it was of no use, he couldn't get in. He tried to climb her, but the hoops gave way and frustrated tho attempt. He extended his arms to her ; sho extended hers to him ; tears wero in their eyes. It was the most affecting thing I ever witnessed. Finally, Mrs. But ter field sat down, and Amos got behind her chair and kissed hor, until their little offspring by howling and biting the calf of his leg, crea ted a diversion. They were very happy : so were the people in the parlor. Everbody seemed delighted, and a small boy, a year or two older than' little Amos, jumped up and down like a whip-saw, and halloed"Hoop-e-o-o ! " with all his might. " Butterfield," said I, an hour or two later, " 1 suspect that Mrs. Butterfield has been adopting hoops." " 0, yes answered he, " I saw that sticking out." Tlifl Acting Governor ot Kansas. Robert J. Walker's Socretary or rather the Secretary of the Territory of Kansas, and Governor in the absence of Walker arrived at Leavenworth City, Kansas Territory, on the 13th of April, and being an important person-ace directly representing the views of Mr. Bu chanan (or rather those views which Mr. Buchanan supposes he has), he was presently called upon to address the people, which he did. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune thus reports him s In opening which he announced himself as a native of Virginia and a resident of Tennessee, and then very cooty informed his hearers that (Aw might judaerom this fad "of hit prodivitiet." He thought the Free State peo ple were malting a great minus in notvoving for Congressional Delegates, and further, that the Constitution there adopted would pass Congress. He deeply regretted the disturbances that had occurred in the territory, and hoped that thore wonld bo no further trouble, but maintained that the laws of the territorial legislature must be enforced. Mr. Stanton is a fine looking man, and it is said means to do about right, but the Free State men are greatly disappointed in bis speech, which betrayed, so they think, an unaccountable ignonnco of Kansas affairs and a hostility to the free state cause.. I will take occasion to so Mr. Stan ton and endeavor to learn bis views snd poli cy more distinctly. , , ' . OHIO, TUESDAY Democracy In '57 Iteftn'ciiatinfr. ne veiisocnicy oi ' One of the best legislative jokos ever pcrpe tratod is recorded in tho closing scenes of the Legislature. Mr. Marsh, of Preble, Intro duced a series of resolutions employing the former Democratic doctrine in relation to slavery. We copy them from tho State Journal, which calls attention to the fact that " tho first resolution is the same one which was adopted by the Democracy of Ohio at their State Convention in 1815, '50, '52, '53, '54 and '55, successively j but evory man of them who voted on the resolution voted nay, while the Repub licans voted yea, thus proving that the Democracy havo abandoned their own principles, and that the Republicans are tho true Democracy of tho country." The following are the resolutions : Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That the people of Ohio, now, as they always have done, look upon the institution of slavery as an evil, unfavorable to the full development of the spirit and practical benefits of free institutions, and that entertaining these sentiments, they will feel it their duty to use all power consistent with the national compact, to prevent its increase, to mitigate, and finally to eradicate the evil. Resolved, That tho provisions of the ordinance of Congress of 1787, so far as the same relate to slavery, should be extended to all territory of the United States not yet organized into States. Resolved, That our Senators and Representatives in Congress are hereby requested to vote against tho admission of any State into the Union, unless slavery or involuntary servitude, except for crime, be excluded in the Constitution thereof. The question being on the first resolution, it was adopted yeas 24, nays 2 Messrs. Lawrence and Phelps. The second resolution was then adopted yeas 23, nays 3 Messrs. Lawrence, Matthews and Phelps. The vote on the third resolution stood as follows yeas 21, nays 3 Messrs. Lawrence, Matthews and Phelps. On the announcement of the last vote, Mr. Lawrence, who occupied the chair temporarily, said .that the Democratic Platform of ten years sinco had now been adopted by a Repub lican Senate From tho Missouri Democrat, of Friday. Free State Mayor Elected in Leaven worth City, K. T. Appended will be found a brief letter from Kansas, which shows a most gratifying victory for the Free State men in Leavenworth City. It is the more eratifving when it is recol lected that Leavenworth, during the Kansas troubles of last Fall, was the headquarters of Lnptain ,mory and his band of desperadoes, wno drove out tho irce State citizens, robbed their houses and stores, and murdered Phillips. This victory was won, too, under election laws which prohibited the ballots of all citizens who had not resided in the city for a period of six months prior to the day of voting. Had all the actual residents been allowed to vote, we are informed the majority for Adams would have been fivo times as great. The conviction is irresistible that free soil sentiments and free white men aro bound quickly to win Kansas, and ultimately to rescue Missouri.Times Office, Leavesworth, K. T.,) April 15, 1857. Editor Democrat : Leavenworth stands redeemed ! Free State party triumphant ! Border Ruffinns prostrated ! Freo State Mayor 1 Henry J. Adams elected by a majority of 181 over all other candidates !

The Free State Men of Kansas Taking Courage. The Lawrence correspondent of the Missouri Democrat, says that the Free State men feel so strong since tho multitudious accessions to their ranks this Spring, that they absolutely will not submit to be badgered, harrassed, taxed, imprisoned under the pretence of th enforcement of the bogus laws of the Missouri mob. He writes : "Had Buchanan, aided by Jeff. Davis and poor degraded Pierce, expended one half of his allotted time in the Presidential chair selecting officers for Kansas, worse selections could not be made for both parties. Some of the officers appointed for Kansas havo been par' ticipators in murders of the foulest kind. Should Walker, who is authorized to enforce tho infamous code, which has been pronounced a "disgrace" by the leading spirits of the Democratic party, attempt to do so, a flame will be kindled which will not be confined to Kansas alone, but one which may involve the entire Union. The serried lines of bayonets and clanking sabres Can no longer entramel public sentiment and force slavery upon free-born American citizens. Mr. ttitclinnnii'a Snpacliy. Mr. Buchanan has a very clear appreciation of his Barnburner supporters in New York, towards whom he entertains, without doubt, a very friendly and forgiving disposition. During the last Presidential campaign, a gentleman from this State was advising with him as to the supply of material aid and the party orators which It would be expedient to import from New York, to aid the election in Penn sylvania. Among the most effective speakers who were suggested as ready for political ser vice, were John A. Dix, John Van Burcn and Ex Governor Seymour. " Thoy Are all able and good men," replied Buchanan, "but send Governor Seymour. It take Mr. Dix Mi Mr. Van Buren too long to explain their present position."

MORNING, MAY 6, From the Cleveland Herald. A LESSON FOH THE UNEASY. If at tho entranco totli'o "West" a great placard could be posted, on which could be penciled the experiences and the consequent reflections of the thousands who have given up cheerful, comfortable homes in the East for the untried privations and sorrows of a homo in a new country, hosts who are now greedily pressing towards the setting sun would return to their old farms and firesides, vowing hereafter to follow but one rule" Let well enough ulone." We beg of those of our rcadors, comfortably situated, who have any disposition to emigrate, to read what we publish below, for notwithstanding the vein of humor runninir through it, there is a melancholy truthfulness in it which comes from the heart of one who sighs for the churches, the school houses, tho society, the comforts she left behind, to follow the fortunes of an uneasy father, whe would not "let Well cnono-h alnnn." Tli d-ntl, certainly is well written with one of the most pungent and witty pens that ever tduched pa per, and we beg of the good people of Portntre county to rise up en masse and bring back the woman that wrote that sketch, for thev have lost a jewel. Wo cut the sketch from the Ravena Democrat, to which paper it was sent, with a privato note, in which the writer says: If my sketch will deter friends in Portae-o County from being lit, as wo have been, I shall be most happy." The skotch runs thus : LEAVES FROM MY IOWA JOCRSAL. By Netty Femvood. Marcii 15, 1857. No sound of church-eo- ing bell, no peal of high-sounding organs, no rustle of costly silks, or diamond's jewelled light, tell of that one day in seven, when in the city's gorgeous fane " man hopes to meet his God." We havo counted each day. like Robinson Crusoe, since we have been in Iowa, and sup pose this to be the Sabbath. I sit down to write an entry in these pages, or rather " notch the stick in my dungeon." Mother is reading: her Bible, father is looking wearily out on the snow-desolate prairie. If Dante could have added one more horror to his list, he might have taken the silent wintry prairie, without any assistance from his imagination. No one can imagine, or know by description ; they must personally bo out of a night on it ; say, in December. If the shade of your great grandmother, "ghosts of gloom," and every saddening recollection, don't stalk around you. then I am no judge. And such storms ; the elements in a perfect fury, wind so high that it will blow tho snow through & two-inch board, and beating against everything like a hurricane, if it has backbone enough to stand up. The snow has laid on the ground almost four months, and this severity of the season1 combined with the miscrablo management of these Hoosier farmers, and the heavy emitrra- tion, has made provisions high and scarce. Bread and meat, with the coffee, without any milk or sugar, aro all tho luxuries that many of the "fastest families " can boast of. Iowa is a bitter bill, sugar-coated with beauty of landscape.fortillity of soil, and glorious sunsets. I wish that speculators had to swallow it, all at once, down their vilo and lying throats. But this is a wrong feeling for Sunday, and we must not grumblo for fear it will effect the valueof " Malaka Farm." Will tho time ever come for the June migration of fools, that long to sco the romanco of pioneer life ? I shut tho book, and wish I could shut tho snow- shrouded prairie from my sight. Mosjday, 1G. Here is a wounded Doer within a few yards of tho house, tho steam issuing from his quivoring nostrils. Ah ! he reels, falls, crimsoning tho pure snow with his life current, and dies amid the baying of hounds, and the shouts of excited hunters. I should have had tho Deer buried with the accustomed honors, but my rhapsody was in terrupted by the cackling of those vicious hens in tho cellar. No Patroon or landlord in this township, can afford to build a hen-roost, or stable either, for lumber is worth from S30 to $60 per thousand. I might say, all they can get for it, for most of men leave their consciences tho othor side of the Mississippi. So through the cold woather, mother has put her poultry in the cellar. Every time she opens the door, out pops ahen, anxious for sunshine. and tail feathers spread for liberty. Very provoking to the old lady's patience, and annoying to the youngsters, as it gives them some trouble to keep "critters" in harbor. Pomp is harnasscd to a pair of poles, with four perpendicular stakes inserted, and two beards placed across, someway, on tho non. descript thing. This is the sloigh. I'm off to Wildcat, distant ten miles, for mail matter. and to see tho gay tcorli once more. It is a city of twelve hundred inhabitants, has a Mayor and Council, and a Chartor fbi im- provements. The offices were filled instanfer. but the sidewalks, "clearing up," and plan- ting out trees, willcome by-and-bv. No atria is considered a la worfebut Broad way editions, many of the upper tendom being broken down merchants in tho East, and come to these Western cities to mend their fortunes, brinn the fashionable drawl and affected airs of the goods aristocracy. The most amusing thing in the world is to see an Eastern snob swell in these magnificent rut hvtets, for a house with four rooms is a prodigy of waste and ex-trnvaeance. Hoops go wallonine and hnnn. ding along in these high winds, at the risk of the wearer being blown half across the street while flounces trail in this abominable black mud with the same complacent satisfaction that tbey do oa a Russ pavement.

It is very cold to-day, mercury down to zoro, and a prospect of a rido across tho prairie is anything but pleasant. Pomp slow, for the wild grass is not vory spirited food tor horses, but I'll apply tho whalebono soon to hasten his locomotion. Ah 1 I've overtaken a solitary pedestrian, satchel and cane in hand, honest looking soul, think I must give him a ride. Ho gives some distresses ac counts of tho suffering about Fort Dodiro Many frozen to death; living without doors, no floor, nor chimney, winter camo on like a thief in the night, before they wore prepared for it, and this going almost two hundred miles for many of tho necessaries of life is no trifling matter. We both came to tho conclusion that you could not find a more miser able, homeless, growling people, than ill the centra! and western portions of Iowa. Anecdote of Patrick Henry. Tho Louisville Journal recollects hearini from the lato Chief J ustico Marshall, that Gov. Giles, of Virginia, once addressed a note of this tenor to Patrick Henry : "Sir I understand" that you have called me a " bobtail " politician. I wish to know if it bo true, and if true, your meaning. Wm. B. Giles." To which Mr. nenry replied in this wise : " Sir : I do not recollect having called you a bobtail politician at any timo, but think probable I havo. Not recollecting the time or tho occasion, I can't say what I did mean ; but if you will tell mo what you think I meant, I will say whether you aro correct or not. Very Respectfully. w a, w Patrick Henry." fjjT This paragraph on appearances, from the New York Times, has not an exclusive application in that city, but may be located at othor points with equal appropriateness : A coat that has marks of uso upon it, is a recommendation to people of sense; and a hat with too smooth a nap and too hich a lustre is a derogatory circumstance. The best coats in liroadway aro on tho backs of penniless, broken-down merchants, clerks with pitiful salaries, and men that don't nay nn. Tho heaviest gold chains dangle from tho fobs of gamblers and gentlemen of very limited moans; costly ornaments on ladies, indicate to eyes that aro well open, a silly lover, or n husband cramped for funds. And when a pretty woman goes by in suit of plain and neat apparel, it is a sign that she has fair expectations, and a husband that balance in his favor. Gov. GEARY. The Wholo nnclc nf cilitnrinl curs in tho pay of tho administration Wr, opened upon Gov. Geary, near how tho oincinnati inquirer howls on the scent: Governor Geary is in Washington. his accounts settled. Disrobed of his Gubernatorial grandeur, this individual shrinks into very small proportions. The truth is his appointment was a great mistake, and nil tho success of his first attempts to organizo the territory ot Kansas was a delusion a mirage. Ho never had the qualities, tho intelli gence or information to adminlstor this difficult trust. Supremoly ignorant of law and government, his idea was to play tho part of uon. Jackson in a very small theater, and with very feeblo powers. Speovlatiox. Chicago is a great place for speculation, and the 'disease' is said to bo catching for miles around. Tho followin? is a Chicago papor of late data, and in order to give our readers an idea of tho extent to which tho 'business fever' rages in that section, we givo it for what it's worth : -A young man in an adjoining town was smitten with the beauty of a young lady, whoso father had a suit at law, which must surely mako or break and popped tho question. Tho young lady answered in affirmative, and was expressing a desire for immcdiato marriage, when ho in- tenuptcd her with 'I can have the refusal of you for six months, can't IT" Tho lady is supposed to havo desired a 'shorter time.'

This, we believe, is tho richest boulder ever discovered in this countryi Near its center was found a solid maw nt gold that weighed over two pounds, and in numerous places small disintegrated veins of gold wero found running entirely through it- its suriace was smooth and level, bearing evidence of having been submerged.

I suppose they quaffed their whiskey together. Lane has been making his speeches at Lawrence and elsewhere unmolested. Only think of it J the Lion and the Lamb, or rather the Pro-Sla vory Lion and the abolition Lion eating together. When will wonders cease is the exclamation of all Missouri folks. Con. Pomeroy, of Massachusetts, who was stopped when going into the territory, was iu St. Joseph, Mo., to-day ; I saw him ! Lots in Leavenworth that sold at 250 last November sold tho other day for $2,200. Land close to Leavenworth, half a mile of one mile out that sold at $45 an acre last November sells now at $300 an acre. It is est! mated that from lOCOjto 1400 persons land in tho Territory every day. I suppose 20 out of 30 aro Free State ; some say OOout of 100. I was informed at St. Joseph, where I spent tho best part of two weeks, that tho steamboat " Silver Heels" made $6,000 clear on one trip from St. Louis to St. Joseph, and would make $0,000 more from St. Joseph to Omaha City, $12,000 clear for ono trip. Tell it to tbo Pittsburgh steamboat men. Tho Missou ri river is higher than it has been for five or six years. Yours, . The cwOrleniis Delia and Slav Labor. The N. 0. Delta, after satisfying itself that the supply of slave labor at tho South, if limited to its present resources, must provo une qual to the dcmand.and that tho constant drain on tho northern tier of slnvo States will even tually leave them non-slavc-holding, and consequently free soil States, presses the following remody.both to prevent Virginia, Ken tucky, and Missouri from becoming abolition-ized, and to supply the additional labor needled at the South i 1. Lot the States of that portion of tho South in which the final congestion and dying struggles of Slave; would occur, should present tendencies bo unarrested, pass laws aseffectually-excluding from their borders slaves bro't from Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouriand Tennessee and North Carolina if necessary as slaves brought from Africa are now excluded from tho whole South by the laws of tho United State's. , So much for political conversation ; and as for economical and industrial policy, Let them supply tho additional labor which may bo needed to meet tho increasing demand for thoir staples, by the introduction of coolies, who arc now sti successfully employed ia British Guiana and Cuba. They arc voluntary slaves for seven or nine years ; their wages are almost nominal ; their expenses trifling ; if they die, tlio planter incurs no loss of purchaso price ; and it is Said thoy will accomplish more work in the same period than an equal number of negro slaves. But for the liability of losing their labor at the end of the term of apprenticeship, they would form fof industrial purposes, a substitute for negro slavery sufficient ill nearly every respect. If tho South cdn do no better, why not introduce ths coolie system ? It would not conflict with Slavery ; it would assist it politically and industrially. Politically, by obviating the no cessity of draining the border States of their slaves and making room for Abolitionists ; Industrially, by eking out the cnaniim wctt of labor where there is a deficiency of the negro slaves, There is no law of tho United States to prohibit their introduction. Why should not tho States to which we allude pass laws providing for their apprenticeship, and pro scribing rules for theirgovcrnmcnt ? Restore the African slave trade, say We, or abolish tlio inter-State slavo trade and give us coolies. SlKOCtAIt.
