NEGROES IN INDIANA. The enormous majority in favor of ex cluding free blacks from further immigra V tion into Indiana commands universal at I lenlton. The blacks themselves have i held a State Convention, to see what they ' hall do. As Indiana ijas done the very thing that South Carolina has been com ?: plained of for doing, -hat is, excluding Iree blacks it is but ftjir. if a case is to be made for the Federal' Courts to try, to mike it now against a Free State, and, until it is made, to let Bouth Carolina a lone. 1 The "Lafayette Jourpal," a paper which has been hitherto tinctured with Aboli tionism, but in vvhrch, oil' late, we are pleas ed to see, are larger views and better reasoning. says : "The free colored population of the TJ. States amounts to abou half a million, and the major portion of this number are en gaged in menial occupations in our large f cities. As a general thing, they appear to t be contented with tbeijr lot, but the action of several of the States, In passing prohib , itory laws to tbirfuttner emigrafion, like !

Y.' Express. We do not desire any special enactment of iour Legislature or ahyojher law making pow. er in behalf of Temperance indeed, we would not have it to be given but we do ask for the withdrawal of legislative sanction and enact, ments in hchatt of ihe enemies of temperance. We want the liquor traffic to stand oh its own merit, stripped of the respectability attached to it on account of its being a State Institution for every.gr'og shop keeper in North Carolina is now as emphatically an officer of the State, as are the Governor- and Supreme Court JudesT1 If the liquor traffic is so useful and necessary an appendage to good society, le: it ijve, as do all other professions, upon its 0vn worth and intrinsic excellence. S;ip it of fhe legal right and power with wluch it is invested, and leave it free to be assailed without being entrenched behind iheTlaw. If a physician administers ar senic to a patient, knowing it will produce death he would bo tried and punished as a murderer ! If a gun smith sells a weapon charged with a deadly load, without apprising bis customer of its contents, and he slay himself or his neigh bor with it, the smith would be held responsi ble for the deed, and be punished accordingly. If an editor or author give publicity to state mentsthat will Injure the fair fame and charac ter of a fellow citizen, fie will receive condign and summary punishment. So would we have the liquor dealer amendable for his works. He is dally and hourly administering a deadly poison to his victims. who are falling by bun dreds into a drunkard's grave ; but he is en sconsed behind the lawj and shakes his license to do his work of death in an outj-aged commu nity in utter defiance, prom his loaded bottles, charged with 4i liquid dtimnalioin' he sends his customers into a dishonored and untimely grave, and defies the suffering survivors to help them selves, because he is empowered, authorized, chartered to do this vey thing, j He is squan dering the property and blasting the reputation and prospects of husbands,, fathers and sons, and degrading and impoverishing the wives and daughters of our country, but, forsooth, heris the officer of the State, entrusted with this work, and to whom can you apply for relief? And is there no relief A re : we doomed to suffer this blighting, damning curse perpetually? Is outraged humanity, Christian purity and lofty State pride, forever to suffer the Humiliation and dishonor of this foul scourge ? In God's name, jwe trust not aye we believe not. Public sen timent is becoming awake upon this sulject the muttering voice of popular remonstrance and indignation is beginning to be heard from Buncombe to Currituck, and its rumbling will not cease until in onelsweeping storm it will overwhelm this odious: system, and blot from our statute book the dark page that authorizes and sustains it. The! people, the 'whole peo ple are interested in this work, and we are glad to see that it is awakening ihe iattention ofall classes, parties and creeds. Let the matter be kept in constant agitation. Let Judges and Ju rors, Solicitors and Counsel, Cjergy and Laity awake to their responsibility upon this all im portant subject, and th day will yet dawn upon the old North Sia'e, when lhe united voice of her citizens shall demand the expurgation ofthis deep stain from her escjncheon.

BARNU.M'S POSITION DEFINED. i In his recent Temperance speech before the members of the Legislature, and others, at Hartford, Mr. Barnum said that he cared not what a man's political or religious opinions might be, so that he was a temperance man. Let him be that,' said he and I ran cheer, fully give him my hand, and meet him on this platform as a brother. ' For my own part,' he continued, M am a Loco Foe oj a regular out and outer, and so strong are njy political pre ferences, that it isquite possible I should vote for the Devil, in preference to a Whig, if it could be proved that 'Old Hofny' was a De mocrat ; but when the question comes which to elect to office,, a. -drunken Democrat or a so ber Whig.-1 should prefer the Whig, and should adopt this course on lhe plain ground that a drunken official, although a Democrat, is worse than the Devil !' This political position appeared to be receiv. ed with satisfaction by both parties. Bridge port Farmer ; CALIFORNIA HER POSITION. California at lhe present time, occupies a somewhat anomalous position. Although lhe mining portion of our population, are doing bet ter than laborers in any other part of the world, trade languishes, and there are lhouands who are hardly making a living in our commercial towns and elsewhere throughout the State portion of those engaged in trade can scarcely clear expenses. To supply a popj'.a,-,6n of one hundred, or one hundred Mid fifty thousand miners, we have a popuhuon of half as many merchants. In evelV pfion of the Slate these men are to be Founa&om the dealer in his milliop.s t; the man whose,stock in trade scarce. l reaches the sum of ten dollars. Califor nia very truly may be saidj to be a community of traders, and the great misfortune is that they all expect to become rich by trading, with this undue proportion of actual producers. It might reasonably be Supposed that where there was a merchant for every one. two or three inhabitants, that all could not succeed. The amount of gold, however large, acquired by each miner, would not 'suffice to sustain this vast number of shop keepers. The population of California at the present lime, is variously estimated from two hundred and fifty to three hundred thousand. Support! it to equal the highest figure, we do not think there are any who can estimate the actual min ers at over one hundred and fifty thousand. If we take into consideration ihe persons congre gated in our cities and large towns, i: will be seen that the n imber is very large ; but add in thisthe merchants and dealers at every bar, and who are scattered along the public high ways in every part of the State, and their name is e gion.K, It isVftue, all are- not merchants who are now engaged in mining. Some are following me. chanical pursuits while others are engaged in agriculture ; but they have in this way. as yet hardly added lothe wealth of the coun'ry. They areTrather preparing to do something in the fu ture, which will be productive. The mechan ics are partially, exceptions to this rule, but to no great extent. It we set aside for agricultu ral and mechanical pursuits, together wiih those who are following no regular accupation, one fourth of our population, there will remain another fourth who are simply traders. . If ine estimate which we give above is not strictly correct, it will at least answer our pur. pose to-day. Who cannot see that where one fourth of a population is engaged in trade, eith er directly or indirectly, that their profits must necesSSr'lY be small ? W here a merchant has but three customers, Iney must indeed be doing a lucrative business if they become rich, and at the same time enable the trader to am;ts a fortune in one or two years. That loo large a number of persons are en gaged in trade in California, lo admit of their becoming suddenly rich, we think there can be no dispute, and if there be discouraging reports from this portion of our population, it shouldex cite no surprise. For a time after the rush to California, the rapid advance in real estate formed a medium by which rnen measured their wealth, and if absolutely .without other semblance of property, is now gone. Lots and Lands which (iw months since were the representatives of thou sands, are too often only an incubus upon the ow ier, and not worth the taxes imposed. Ii is thus ihat what was at first deemed an ample forlune, now seems but a shadow. Is it strange, under.such circumstances, that men should be gin to loojt around them to learn where they really stand ? Is it singular, that men who have supposed themselves Worth their thousands, when the delusion no longer exists, should ex press uneasiness and dissatisfaction 1 The truth is, the miners are very generally doing well, but the merchants as a body are not. The first class aromaking good wages, and are surely accumulating a competence, but the latter class is aliogether too large for the country, and must very sensibly decrease before the profits will be sufficient to meet their expec tations. Urn ii such diminution shall take place, the few who possess an ahundancp ( rniu na to that city the bodies of the unfortunate Crittenden and Kerr, and that he bad them em balmed wiih the intention 4 so doing. We append, below, an account of the riots that oc. curred on Thursday in that city, which we ex tract from lhe Crescent : i " New Orleans on Thursday was alive with excitement and commotion. The streets were thronged with people, and angry and violent crowds paraded through the cily, breaking inio he segar and liquor shops kept by Spaniards, gutting them of their contents, and destroying every thing they could lay hands upon. If our levees had given way, and the current of the Mississippi permittedto rush ihrough our streets, the turmoil, confusion, and agitation could not have been less. We will briefly detail the in cidents as theyoccut red. The melancholy news of the fate of Critten- a last adieu. I die like a soldier. Your husband, VICTOR KERR. Aug. 18, 1851 sixth hour in the day.

' With this obscure meihod of aJ:n;n;.;. ! j About 4 P, M., a crowd entered the office of La Union, and in a few minutes it was a total wreck. The editor narrowly escaped wiih his life through the intercession of Mayor Cross j man. Thence the crowd proceeded to the corner ! of Ciravier and Si. Charles, where a very odi j ous Spaniard. Romagosa, tended the Corrina ! cigar shop. Some demonstrations were made, hut the doors were closed, when, after the expi- i ration of an hour, Romagosa appeared at one ! of the doors with a drawn knife in his hand, I and expressed a desire to sheathe it in four or j five yankees. A rush was made, when Roma- ! gosa made his escape into the store, closing lhe door after him, first wounding three persons, i one severely. The ruins of the Si. Charles! furnished the materials with which ihe doors j were speedily haltered in, every window, bro ken, the shop gutted, and a costly stock ol ci j gars scattered in the streets.
