Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 2, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 March 1859 — Temporarily Abandoned. [ARTICLE]

Temporarily Abandoned.

It will be seen by reference to Congressional proceedings, that the bill placing §>30,000,000 in the hands of the President for the ostensible purpose of opening hegociutions-for the purchase of Cuba, but really as a corruption fund to be used to promote the success of the “National Democracy” in ensuing elections, has been abandoned for the present session by Senator Slidell, but with the declaration that he will again present it at the beginning of next session. The impossibility of forcing the bill through this session is the alleged reason for its abandonment. (gj” When Mr. Webster made his great and fatal plunge, he did so on the express ground thht there was no need of inhibiting Slavery Jn New Mexico, tee.—“the laws of God” having rendered such inhibition utterly superflous. as Slavery coul'i never be planted in those territories. We have today an expressive commentary on this assumption of the fact brought by telegraph that the present intensely Democratic Legislature of New Mexico' has passed the act to protect Slave Property aril forbid Emancipation therein. That is to say: Slavery has established itself in New Mexico just as it did in New York or Virginia, by assuming its own existence as an accomplished fact, and legislating to protect and perpetuate that existence. There has been no “agita-. tion” tn New Mexico, do you mind!—“no Black Republicanism” there—nothing but intense popular i.jnoranc , a brutish degradation of the i [literate majority, and unanimous “National Democracy.” AmJ here we have the natural sequence.—j-Acut York Tribune. (Xs”lt is reported that Walker, Henning* ■son and' the other fiilibusters, are rendezvousing at San Antonio, Texas, for a raid upon Sonora.
