In our last number we endeavored to show the course of Southern Ultraisn. ; its effect upon the country, the peace and perpetuity of the Union. That the tendency of their doctrines was to a dissolution of this glorious confederacy the downfall of the reTHiblie. and the utter destruction of all the hopes of j , tbe friends of liberty throughout the world. On the other baud there is a sect of misguided fanatic at the North, whose very nature is fanaticism. It is the food which has nurtured them. Ii is the diet upon which they live. They are made up of Socialists, Infidels, and theoretic, if not practical amalgamationists. Thev are in favor of holding all property in common, repudiate the Bible, talk of humility and meekness, yet denounce the precepts of "The Man of Sorrows;" preach tbe doctrine of equality among the races, and declare that a white man is as good as a ninzer. if he behaves himself as well. This is the OCT root from which Northern Abolition lias sprung. It originates in the infidel principle, that the Almighty is incapable of protecting the work of his own hands. Into this church has been drawn many honest, sincere and confiding Christians men whose hearts are filled with the milk of human kindness and that kind of universal philanthropy which would elevate the Hindoo, the Hottentot, and the Bushman from the interior of Africa to the level with himself in the social and political world, and who honestly believe that as God created the lower orders of the humaa species, to deny their equality is to madly ruh upon the "thick bosses of Jehovah's buckler." With this latter class we rather sympathise than condemn them. But there is still another class, the disappointed politicians, men who conceive that they have been neglected by their party. Disappointed ambition has rankled around their gangrened hearts, until, blind with fury, had they the strength of Sampson, they would pull down the Temple of Liberty and destroy all who have nought a shelter within its walls. This party was at first a small insignificant faction headed by William Lloyd Garrison of Boston. In 1340, they cast a few otes at the Presidential election. In 1844 they had a regularly organized ticket, with James G. Birney of Michiiran for President, and Thomas Morris of Ohio fur Vice President. I 1949, they had great accessions to their party from the ranks of the two great political parties that had existed from the foundation of the republic ; the federalists or modern whigs, and the democrats. Whigs disgusted and dis-. appointed at the nomination of Gen. Taylor, and Democrats who had never supported the Administra tion of Mr. Polk, because he had supplanted Mr. Van Buren, who had for four long years been nursing their wrath, sought an occasion to separate themselves from their brethren, and to rush into the arms of Northern Abolitionism not tor the purpose ot succeeding m the coming election, but to gratify their malignant re Tenge, and with their own impious hands to pull down that which they had helped to erect. The portals of the church were crowded with new converts. Lloyd uarrison who bad been the big dog in the pen was completely overslaughed, and he and a few of his fol lowers quietly sneaked out. But the thinned ranks were soon more than filled by new accessions. This motley crew assembled at Buffalo, and laid a platform broad and wide upon which whigs and democrats, abolitionists and land reformers, Liberty men and nig gers could all stand. This great gathering nominated Martin Van Buren for President, and Charles F. Adams for Vice President. Into their great political ark tbey invited "both of fowl and cattle, and of beaBts. and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man." Under the spacious and high sounding mottos 'free speech, free soil, and free men, they went into the conflict ; and the only result produced was the one they desired, the election of Gen. Taylor, a slave-holder of Louisiana, to the Presidency. Freedom is a beautiful word. It falls like music opon the American ear ; it has been the theme for the poet's pen, the subject upon which the patriot loves to dwell. But like beauty iit a wo man, it hides a multitude of faults ; am' although the mantle is broad, it cannot cover all. Now let no de znocratic free-soiler go off in a tangent. With them we iutend to have no quarrel, so long as they vote the Democratic ticket, support Democratic men and Dem ocratic measures, stand by the old time-honored Dem ocratic platform without attempting to tear up the planks and narrow its dimensions, so that a northern and sectional party can only stand on it. The Dem ocratic party it a national party, and we shall quar rel with the man who attempts to make it sectional. We are opposed to extending slavery into any terri tory now free, and although we rnay differ with many Democrat, good and true, upon the mode by which a -1 I a a a this thing is to be done witn sucn we snail reason. and not quarrel. Eat with the man professing Dem ocracy, who requires us to believe that there ia a law higher than the Constitution, which prohibits the surrender of fugitive slaves according to one of the plainest provisions of that instrument, who would t .i t- l I . . .t Q r -i J ha white man. who would allow him tn vote at tri ballot-box. and to hold office. who, in violation of law, and of the decision of tho Supreme Court, would prohibit, by act of Congress, the slave trade between the State, who would make these heresies a passport to oGce to such we say, you aro not Democrats; you are abolitionists, and with you we must part company. Your doctrines, if carried otit, would dissolve this Union, and uproot the foundations of Society. Take your seats in the Omnibus with 'the Southern Disunionist. You differ in your doctrines, but you are all driving to the same destination. The communication of G. P. B. will appear in our next. Our correspondents must bear with us.'

The route of the Southern Michigan Railroad appears lo b- fixed by the way of Bristol and Elkhart to South Bend, Ihe legislation of ihn Slate of Michigan having compelled tue couijj.niy to strike the St. Joseph river iu tiiat S:a!e, and they have concluded to accept tho amendment.

Moie on thee point, hereafter. From S tuih Bend two routra west to LaPoite have been run, one via Sec Town and the other via New Carlisle and Lakepoii. The Suuihem ion e is teported by the engineeis over half a mile neair and on a bet'ei and cheaper giadr.

The location is not yet t led iip -n, but it i. held under advisement by the Duictirs upon t lie reports and m.p of the two mutes. In connection wiih this subject t he South Bend Register publishes the following article from the Chicago Journal, in reference to the Northern Indiana Railroad: The chatter of this company, deincd lo serine the contiuction of a Railioad through ihe iiuithein cotiniie of Indiana to Michigan City, has iccently pa-srd into the hinds of the fiieud of Ihe Michigan Southern Rail Road. Il it oiganized under a special law of Indiana, whereby the incorporation of the company for tint puipose, is aulhoiiznd uudei a name and with an amount of capital to be deteimiued by the company. Under ihn act this company has been oigmized wih a capital r.f one million and a half of dollars, with power to increase the same. The Duretoi of the Company aie George Cli of Massachusetts, John B Jarvis, Chailes Butler, William K. Maicy, John Stiyker, and IM in C. Litchfield of the State of New Yoik; H.

The Gal)hiiii. What 6trange events the future unfolds. But a few years ago Zachary Taylor was a Lieutenant Colonel of one of the frontier regiments, an obscure and uneducated man. Although the first tit Id of his military glory was Fort Harrison, near Terre Haute, Indiana, how many of the voters iu the State had ever heard of him, until his name was mentioned in connection with the brilliant achievements at Palo Alto and Resaca. He lived until he wa.9 sixty years of ace without ever dreaming that he was to be President of this great Republic. Wilh poor old George Galphin the case was somewhat different. . He was an obscure Indian pedler, among the Creeks and Cherokees. Little did he dream whilst measuring out his fire-water when traficking his beads and gew-gaws, to decorate the tawny sons and daughters of the forest, that the very transactions he was then engaged in, and his name, half a century after he should have closed his mortal career, would give name to a powerful political party that was to control the government during a period of the next century. Truth is stranger than fiction. Two events more extraordinary and unexpected, have never been recorded on the brilliant page of romance. Nothing like it is to be found in the 'yallerf kivered" literature of the day. I'criotlicals. Edinburgh Ileiieu;, B'ackictoiC m Magazine, and Westminster Review. We have received the May numbers of these standard Reviews, from Leonard, Scott &, Co., New York. They are filled with interesting and instructive matter, and are worth double the amount of the subscription price. $3 per annum for each Review. Knickei backer Magazine. We are indebted to Messrs. Tost &. Co., Cincinnati, for the June number of this excellent periodical. In point of literary merit, it stands at the head of the American Monthlies. Tlie present number is "rich and racy." The Cultivator, and the Horticulturist, we have also received from Messrs. Post &. Co., Cincinnati, who are the agents for these useful publications. Mr. Pearsall's Concert. ThT second Concert of the pupils of this gentle man will be given on Friday evening next, at the Second Presbyterian Church. Those who attended the first concert were highly gratified, and will at tend without a word from us, and the best judges of scientific music who have visited Mr. P.s' school are loud in their praise. No one should neglect to at tend this musical treat, aa encouragement will bo given to one of our own citizens in his laudable ef forts to give the youth of our city a good musical education. See advertisement. Elkhart County. We learn from, the Goshen Democrat, that the Democratic Convention of Elkhart county his selected the Hon. E. M. Chamberlain as a candidate for Senatorial Pelegate and tho Hon. John Jackson for Representative. We are pleased to learn that the Democrats are selecting their ablest men for Delegates to the Convention. Carroll and Clinton. Tho'Demncratic Convention for the rouutien of Carroll and Clinton has nominated Dr. J. W. Wilson, of Roseville, as n candic . c 1 r 1 r. - . l . r . . ,n. ui int oeiiatuiiat ien-gaie lor mar. uisirict. ihe Delphi Times says, that Dr. Wilson is a man of talents, and as Ihe democratic majority in the two counties is so large, he can bo elected with all ease.

Unit nrnnoails Top nmU.in. j . r- 1 "w" . grading, &.c., of 19 miles of the Terre Haute and Richmond Railroad, between Greercastle and Belle ville, will be received at IndianopoKs till the 27th ins!. für We were incorrect in stating in our last semiweekly edition that the Probate Judge of St. Joseph county is a defendant in the tuit of John Norria against Newton, Crocker aud others. Our weekly edition is corrected. fcThe Washington correspondent of the New lork Tribune says he has the best authority for sta ting that Mr. Clayton has decided, for private rea sons, to resign his Secretaryship, and that his resolution cannot be shaken.

WicD.'tErPAT, May S, 1930. The question before the Senate bei n the motion to print the report with the accompanying bills, submitted by the U mpromie Committee of thirteen Mr. BRIGHT arose and made the following remarks: I do not know that I should have id a word at this time, but f"t the last temaik which fell fom the honorable Sena - .... r m: t. ... . .i. i . tl. j I'M IH HI WHO II J IM 11X11 UK iril. 1 II Kent ; i rl disiiiclinatinii I feel to .peak heie has of'en io'tueed s.lerce on my ratt wh... ja.tic.

leads to the infeience trial heat lem.t snpnoes there was only ; a reluctant assent lu what I lie co-nintltre reported. I atn unwilling that fuel) a nippusition even should exist, cither heie or t-Isewhere. far il is an erronenns one. It is tin there wete of the committee Senaima ohi-etiri!? to many, or l - . seveial of the pioviions contained in Ihe diffi-ient bills, as well as dilT. iini in the concl'iM m expressed in the tep utj but still, on summing up Ihe whole, the labors of the committee, a cxpieej thioujfh their distiii;uihed chairman this motnitic, met with a veiy general arcsptance ; one whirh I thought at the time, and still thinlc, notwithstanding what his len o hastily said in opposition lo it, givs camel of a better tte of things in Cungia., and I dust throughout the entiie countiy. 1 join, Mr. President, in the general leetet expie-ed by nurrhiirman and my friend fiom Michigan, that h notabl Setiatois had not been pleased to withhold their condemoati in of our labors until such lime as the teport and bills were piinted, UiJ upon our table, and time ami pportunity given t' all to read, itudeistand, and reflect upon them. Veuly it locks as though there aie ome amug us who in'cnd not to be satisfied with any measuie or measures that hive the ppestance of a cmpr. tnie. And, sit, if the extiemes o( this Union have made up their minds to this course, it tcrnains to be -een whether there be enough of us left willing t take a great middle conservative course, and settle pendin contruvsisies, or whether these exciting, diiiacunp, misrhievous questions, that have shaken the iustituti'ms of this country lo ihrircentie, shall lemain open, increasing the means and supplying the element upon which fanatici-m feeds. It is uunecessry for me to say that I claim lo be of that numbet who desire ao adjusfmeat of all these subjects upon fait.j'Hl, equitable, and constitutional gtounds. When the propositi tn tu refer them to a select committee of thiiteen gentlemen was made, coupled with the wish that it should be composed c Senators lepieen'ing the varied and conflicting opinims nf all sections, and should have for four of is members the distinguished Senatoi fiom Kentucky, Michigan, Massachu setts ,,ul Hcoigia, and added to i is the declaration of our Southern fiiends that this they asked, and this they desired, with the eainest hope and confident belief matters could be adjusted upon such a basis as to ive peace and quietude to nur cotili:uei)cifi, 1 joined in the eilJit to effect this re suit. Having been hunoted with a place on the committee. I did not feel at liberty to decline it; but have in good faiih us' d mi humble efforts to aid oihen mme capable of executing the implied duty assigned us. Sir. I might with gieat piopuety have declined this sei vice; and had I peimitted considerations at all personal to myself to influence my ac lion, I should have done n; but (he public functionary wh'i at a peiiod like this, under such ciicumstance and causes as aie row weighing upon the countiy, declines responsibility, does leu than his duty, and, I was about to add, i unwoithy of a place in the com. cits of the natinn. 1 have, thioughout thia rontroveisv, (o full of interest and momentous conse quences to Ihe Union,) endeavored to lo k at it as I know it o te. rheie is a settled and deep feeliug in most of the fiee States iu favor of the express 'inhibition of slavery by Congress in all Territorial Governments. Many honestly be lieve this action on the put of Congress constitutional and necessity. Without giving any opinion as to the constitu tional power of Congiess on th subject, I have do hoiti'inn in declaring my individual opinion agamsi the necessity and expediency of surh a coutse in Ihe oiganization of Ihe Ter ritoiies embraced in the bill before us. I shall not now en ter at laige upon this topic, tut teserve my views for another occasion, when I hope to be able lo saiNfy those wh se opinions and will it is my duty, as well as my pleasuie, at all times to leflect, that mv couise is for Ihe honor and pro perity of the countiy, and in obedience lo my duty as one of their Senators. I have in my possession u-soluiions of insituctton from the LegiMituie of Indiana, diiecling me to vo for what is called the proviso. The people of the ad joining Slate of Michigan, whose interests and objects are common with ours, have aheady relieved their Senators from their previous instructions. The people of no portion of this bioad Confedeiscy ate mote honest, patriotic, lutelligeul, and devoted to the Union than those whom I have the honor in part to represent on this floor, and I am far fiom ihiuking it improbable lhat, if the actual condition of our affairs weie by them fully seen and understood, their Legislature would telieve their Senators in like manner. Sir. I mutt deeply regtet the passage of those resolutions; but, lest I should be misunderstood on this point, letine say here that the 114hl of instruction forms a part of my political creed, and is a luht that I have ever recognized, and when I hall have refused lo obey, let the to ice of complaint go forth not before. Several bonotable Senators, members of Ihe committee, have announced their dissent lo ceitain arguments and conclusions contained in the lepott. That which is objectionable to one is acceptable to others, and vice versa. It is hardly woitti while for me to say that theie aie reasons and conclusions in the tepoit ft which I did not entirely concur, in committee, and so in two of the bills; but failing in the consummation of my views Iheie. and having consented that the report should be made, I shall not, in a spirit of cavilling and spe cial pleading, indulge in a reservation of p .iota, or an exhi bition of ill-timed hostility; and, so far as my own pet son a I feelings and opinion are concerned, I now endone it, bradly, distinctly, and emphatically, and pledge myself to our distinguished chaiiman, whose patiioiic effott in this crisis of our ailairs commands my high admiration, that he shall have my humble aid and support throughout the struggle. iiut let me say, in conclusion, that if, after a fair tual, it shall be found the eaily friends and advocates of a select committee do not come up to the support of their joint meas uresif it all be ascertained ihe ultimate admission of California as a State is put in jeopatdy by continuing a union of the measures, 1 hall fall back upou the California bill uow on our table, and be as zealous and decided in suppott of her immediate admission as I have been iu support of the combined mcasuie. I regtet that a high sense of public duty impelled me to sepaiate from mny of my Northern fiiends and Ihe distinguished Senator fiom Missouii on tbe question of teference. It would have given me infinitely less trouble, and I should have escaped much unpleasant ciiticism, and from those whose respect and friendship I appreciate, t have banded myself with those opposed to any relerence of measuies. I could have, consistent with legislative duty, sheltered myself behind my instructions, and pandered to this one idea, that aims to make and unmake men, politically speaking, at pleasuie. But, bad I adopted this couise, I should have failed in Ihe peifoimance of my duty, and, more than all, entertaining Ihe opinions I do, would have foifeited my own elf-renpecl. Not to detain the Senate longer, theo, I repeat I sr. all sus tain the measures as they are, up to the point where hope of success fails which I trust and believe will not be reached; but if it should, I thill be found piessing the new Slate of California into shape with ai much zeal and singleness of pu puse as any Senator on this floor. A correspondent of the Lafayette Journal gives the following account of the city of Detroit. Michigan and the North-west generally are going ahead with unprecedented rapidity. Indiana will soon have her arms of communication stretched out in such a manI ncr as to embrace a population little thought of at present the next ten years will show. We have : now a million of inhabitants we may have a million and a half in 18G0. Detroit contains between twenty and thirty thousand in habitants, and about thirty churches of all religious denomination. It contains also a Theatre, and any number of drinking houses. Though theie is apparently a Urge chutcbgoing population here, it is apparent that multitudes aie not regular attendants of any of the chuicbes. This city enjoys the advantage of plank side-walks throughout its whole extent. I have not been able to find a street without them, and surely, the luxuty to be appreciated, must be enj iyed. No one would exchange them for tone or biick. One may walk for Ipmis without fatigue. the elasticity of the plank seeming to facilitate the progress. The great Central Railioad hü its teiminus here ; aud in deed it is a gigaatic wotk evety thing abont it is gotten up in (he best style. It is said to be one of the most complete works of the kind in our countjy. Every other mode of travel is abandoned, forthat of the cats. The progtess of the State of Michigan has been exceedingly iapid in the valious impioveineiiti peculiar to aa enterpiisiog and indubi ous people. W ith a soil greatly infeuor, and a climate in no way su perior to those of Indiana, the pmgie of the Slate has been much moie rapid. This may be atiribuled in part lo the influence of the Lakes as a medium t.f commerce, and more especially to the internal improvements, devised and executed by far seeing Capitalists. , I have often beard it said lhat a Kailroad is anfavorable to th prosperity of villages along the line. Permit me to say that there aie tillagtt lising up and growing along the line of the Central Kailroad. with which Ihe cities even ol your State will scarcely bear a companion. Theie is no philosophy equal to facts. Let the facts speaK lor them selves. Ckawfordsville and Lafayette Railroad. We are c ratified to learn that Major Elston, the President of the Company, has succeeded in obtain inir iron for this road. The Crawfordsville Journal of Thursday last contains the following article: Our old friend the Major, who has been in New York city for some weeks, is expected home in a few days, having succeeded in his negotiations by which the iron necessary for laying the track of our road will be delivered at New Orleans previous to the first of January next, upon terms very favorable to the interest of the Company, and at much lower rales than was anticipated. This will secure the comple tion ot the Road by the first of July lsol.

But am in fivor of the amendment for another reason; nd it is this: The granting of the public domnin to blacks, in this instance, would be a stepping stone lo systems of a similar character, that would defeat what I regard as the only relief to this nation, in connection with the slavery of the African race. I sjMpathize with them deeply; but I have no sympain y ior mem in a common residence witii tlie while race. God has ordained, and no human law can contravene tlie ordinance, that the two races shall be separate and distinct; and if the blacks would occupy a position of equality wilh the white race, it must be, not by roiininnglintf with the white, but by a separation from them. They must exist separately. I will vote ngaint any measure that has a tendency to prolong their common residence 111 this Confederacy, or any portion of it. I atn opposed to tolerating a common residotea in the free Slates for another rea son.

From the Madison Courier. The Haimer, State Journal, and llic Comni'ouiise fit es.ol til ions of Kir. Clay. On Ihe 22d of February last the State Journal winds out an editorial, iu which tins remarkable sentence occurs : "They -the people of this State want lo see Ihem the slavery questions settled foiever, and if convinced that it can be done in the manner proposed by Mr. Clay, we believe that nine-tenths of the people would lay to their repieseutatives at Washington to settle it on the terms proposed by him. The italics are our own. On tho 25th of the same mouth just three diys after the Binner veers round, and iu an article headed, " What the South Wants," this sentence occurs: "So that if Mr. Clay's views are correct there can be nn futther extensiou of slavery, and the adoption of any positive enactment on tDe subject is unnecessary." This remarkable co-incidence In the' views of the major and minor organs we noticed on thcCu'th of the same month February and we charged then that the Binner had clearly and completely settled itself upon the doctrine of Cass and his hated Nicholson letter. No reply was made at that time. On the 29ih of May wo quoted from memory, and it apjenrs wo put the language of Ihe major organ into the month of tho minor organist, for which we will apologize to the erudite editor of the State organ when convenient. The Galphin organ defies us to prove any inconsistency upon it. We will merely remark, at this lime, that in February the Banner said th re-enact ment of the ordinance of 1737 was unnecessary; and in June the organ is in favor of re-enacting that or dinance. In February the compromise resolutions of Mr. Clay were right; but in Juno the compound, which embodies every principle of the resolutions referred to, is an abomination. In February our Galphin friends were mortified that they had been "induced to believe, even for a moment, that Mr. Clay had offered euch a compromise as had been wrongfully attributed to him;" and in June they say, "We are opposed to it, and shall continue to protest against it ns long as we live!" The State Journal calls our attention to an error of ours, in saying on the 2ot!i of May that we should not be surprised to hear of some of our contemporaries following in the lead o'' the State Journal, and swearing that Mr. Clay had done more to extend slavery than all the rest of the Southern statesmen. Tho Journal of the LHJ;li May, said: "Papers of a ceittin class, in the fiee Slates, denounce Mr. Clay as having done more than auy o.her mau for the extension of slavery ! Illinois Kailroad. On Tuesday last we had an announcement that -a railroad talk would be had at the Court House that evening. At candle-light a considerable number of our citizens assembled and were addressed by the Hon. Cyrus Edwards and U. F. Linder, Esq., of Illinois. These gentlemen are the friends and advocates of a railroad from Terre Haute, through Paris, Charleston, &,c, to Alton. They had been attending a convention at Paris, on the subject of arrangements for this route and caino to Terre Haute with a view of enlisting the influence of our citizens for their route, as preferable to the route contemplated from this place, direct along the National road, through Vandalia, to St. Louis. BjIIi gentlemen were interesting and eloquent on the subject of railroads in general and particularly in reference to the necessity of a road directly Ironi lerro Haute to the Mississippi river. How far they succeeded in convincing our citizens of the eligibility of their route to Alton, over that of tho Vandalia route to St. Louis, we are unable to Eay. We believe the friends of each route in Illinois are sanguine of success all claiming we understand to have arrangements for subscriptions to stock, fully sufficient to justify the conclusion that either road can be made. We hope the next Illinois Legislature may be true to the interests of the State, and not refuse a charter to any competent, responsible, and well organized company for a railroad from Terre Haute west acrosa the State. Terre Haute Courier, Junt 8. Foreiun Catital Coming for Investment. One of the highest compliments which this country is now receiving, (remarks the N. Y. Express,) is paid to it by the capitalists of Europe. Every steamer brings large amounts of money for investment in our securities, and for six months past the sums thus sent over have been increasing. As an example of a very common occur reuce, we may state that one house in Switzerland sent out $100,000 for investment iu Statu and City securities. The money was invested as follows: $10,000 in Pennsylvania railroad bonds, the payment of which i endorsed by the city of Pittaburgh; $40,000 in the securities of Cleveland, Ohio ; and $20,000 in one of the good stocks of Ohio. These securities arc becoming favorite investments in Europe, and are the more tempting by reason of the difference between them and favorite State stocks.- - What I admire in Columbus," says Turgus, "is not his having discovered a world, but his having gone in search for it on the faith of an opinion."

The Toice of 11 Patriot. In every position, whether in the ramp r in the peblic council-. Col. Richard M.

It gives us sincere pleasure to lay his sentiments before our readers : White Sciruca, (Ky.,) May 2t, 150. DcAaSiat The sentiment among all clashes of citizens here, irrespective of party, is iceneially, if not unanimously, in favor of the compromise of the slavery question, as piojoscd by the Committee of Thirteen of the Senate. The people will not agree lhat any shall oppose it upon technicality, or tinoti smll points of ditfeience, without unqualified and deep censute. We shall always have i i our bosom politic! parties who differ as to policy and tneasuies. Out a to the federal Union and ' preservation, we expect unanimity amo-'g ihe patriots of the country in the North, South, Kt, and West, whether whigs or. democrats. We have already witnessed this sublime devt.t on to the Union in the Senate of the United States, who deserve and will irceive the gratitude and applaup nf the whole country. If any individual worthy of consideration should fonn an exception to this love of country, and cire u of ihil te saciedness of ihe Union is foigotten, and of les value than peisonal aggrandizement or political elevation, he will be egiegiously mistaken in his calculations, anJ his name will sink, sink -I will not my tJ what point nf infamy.

We phall have the first touch of it, a fortnight from to-dny, when the California message will be taken out of the Committee of the Whole, in the House ; and I have but very little d"uht that the first touch of confusion and anarchy will be felt soon.

It has the means of establishing peace, and sounds itself the bugle note of war through its new official orsran. And all this, after we were assured that the President would not exercise any undue influence on legislation in either House of Congress. Presidential promises may yet be placed in the same category with Mexican prnnwiciamento ! We shall have no vote on the Compromise Bill for a month yet, and its passage may depend on the humor the Senate is in on the last day of the session. The following sensible remarks are from thejkltimore Sun of the 3d inst: The Presidency. Intimation are on the wing and suspicion catches notion as they pass that the California and territorial issues are to be kept open for use in the next piesidential campaign. Ws hardly think such a design can be deliberately entertained by any body; it would be in effect scarcely less than tieason. We can see and appreciate the difficulties which must embarrass the most hones movement towards an adjustment. It is by no means a matter of surprise that a plan of adjustment or eompiomise, however fair aud equitable and adm'uable it may be in its principlei and Dronoitiins. should be made ihe theme of enervetic de- !

The purpose involved in this agitation should be reduced to its simplest expression, and no matter with whom a plan of adjustment may originate, if it covers the purpose to be accomplished it has Ihe best claim t soppoit. Tha Union requires peace on this subject; the purpose in view is, therefoie, to arrive at the best means of tranquility. Rights of all patties should be candidly considered, and the best and most feasible project entertained wheieby a result can be effected. But, if the North is impracticable because it cannot obtain all if demands, and the Somh affects reluctance be cause it is not salified to Ihe full, why it is morally certain that the question will nevar be adjusted.

Tribune, savs of Mr. Corwin The rumor that the Hon. Tom Corwin, of Ohio, is to make a speech in a few days against Mr. Clay, and in favor of the admission of California; and refusing Territorial Governments to Utah and New Mexico, is not true. If he makes a speech, it will be for reasons that have not developed themselves tn bis mind ; nnd should ho speak, I venture the prediction that the Free Soil party and Abolitionists frill forever there after regret his effort, as much as ono Gjcn. Crary, of Michigan, did on a former memorable occasion, iwr. Corwin thinks that this controversy should be ended, and that delay in settling it is far more dangerous to the cause of Freedom tln.n to the propagation of Slavery over Territory now free. Let there be another year's delay, and Slavery is irremediably planted in New Mexico as far as Santa Fe, and even including it. Settle the controversy noir, and an immense tract of counlry will be restored as Free Territory that is uow organized under the jurisdiction of a Slave State. The trial of John Norris vs. Newland, Ceocker and others, for aiding in the escape of slaves, was still in progress before the United States Circuit Court on yesterday. On Monday afternoon the attorneys commenced summing up tho evidenco. The Hon. Oliver II. Smith was making the closing speech, on tbe part of the prosecution, when our paper was put to press.

California. We have received some late California papers— the Alta California which contain a good many interesting articles, but none that are of any particular importance. Great quantities of gold continue to be raised, and new discoveries of the precious metal to be made— doomed, possibly, to lose a portion of its preciosity, but not soon—one of which auriferous localities, near Sonora, yields gold so abundantly, that one man, it is said, extracted thirty-five pounds in three days! which wc are rather disposed to doubt. At that rate, it is possible that what was predicted more than a year ago, and which produced serious apprehension among the capitalists in some of the countries of Europe may take place after a while, and gold may get to be worth no more than silver. We have no fears as yet; but if all the marvellous stories that are told about the gold deposits in California be true —if they be true, we say, then there may be a serious disturbance in the present relations of gold and silver some time hence. There is a great rush to the mining region from San Francisco, which one would suppose would be deserted; but the comers in take the place of the goers out, and the cry is, "still they come!" A proposition has been made, to fix the price of gold at the Philadelphia Mint price, and the Legislature of California has had the matter under consideration. They had best let commerce fix the value, as it will do in spite of legislation. This idea seems to have originated with the merchants of San Francisco, and seems to us to be rather in the rear of the times. Commerce regulates the value of bullion, and all uncoined gold and silver, as it does of other commodities, and it will be legislation thrown away for the law-makers of California to say that the price of gold shall be $17 or $18 the ounce, when but $l6 can be commanded in market. The State of Maine might just as well fix by law the price of lumber, or the State of Massachusetts the price of ice and granite. California has accomplished one thing, which goes to prove that she is not behind her elder sisters—we are rather fast, she is not yet a Statevthat she is not behind other civilized and legislative communities, we should say, in financial capacity and ingenuity; she has already created a public debt of near half a million of dollars; which is certainly but a small matter in a country where there is so much gold. The national debt of Great Britain was once much less though, and it is now a monster of most unmanageable dimensions. "Large streams from little fountains flow. Tall oaks from little acorns grow." as we used to spout it at school; and though a public debt of a few hundred thousands has in it nothing very appalling, yet of all the things above or below the earth, there is scarcely anything which grows so rapidly; and the seed once planted, the nucleus once formed, it is extremely difficult to prevent its increase There are now on the Isthmus about two thousand persons, waiting to get a passage to California. There had been, some deaths among the emigrants, but general their health was good. From April 12, 1949, to April 15, 1850, the number of persons who had arrived at San Francisco was, 62,223; of these 50,571 were Americans, from the United States, 1,025 of them being women. Of foreigners, there were 11,652, of whom 954 were women. This is exclusive, of course, of the overland emigration from the United States and from Mexico, which was very considerable. During the same period, there had arrived at San Francisco 1,113 vessels —695 American, and 418 foreign, with a tonnage in the aggregate 361,955 tons. This is a vast commerce for so new a country and for so short a time, and although great profits were made by some, great losses have been sustained by others. The latest dates from San Francisco are of the 21st April.—<Washington Globe>. ; gans ot the administration, which exhibit such tender- - ness of skin at the use of the new Galphin vocabulary. have foryears constantly applied the term locofoco and locofocoism to democrats and democracy, and still continue the practice. We do aot know of a solitary j exception in this practice among the whole whig press. j They, by general understanding, apply those terms j to democrats and the democratic policy, with the view of throwing ridicule upon them, aud bringing them into contempt with the people. Yet the terms locofoco and locofocoism have nothing in them of disparagement or dishonor. As used by tho whig press, they represent i a powerful party end a noble political faith. They I bad no suspicious nor dishonorable origin. They are allied to no frauds upon the government, no pecula- ' tions upon the public treasury, no unseemly acting as (agents of claims by cabinet ministers nothing, indeed, to imply want of honor, of integrity, of propriety, or of delicato appreciation of official position. A want of all these things Galphanisrn implies; and hence wc do not wonder at the wincing of the whig press at its application to the present cabinet and its official conduct, which the whig press generally su. tain and justify. We think the term is a very rich accession to tho political vocabulary, considering its peculiar and remarkable origin. The conduct of the cabinet in respect to th? allowance of claims created the necessity of a new term iu political technology and hence Galphanisrn. It means something more than whig. We are confident it will be as generally used as tha term locofocoism, and with real detriment, as well as mortification, to the party to whom, and to whose acts, it may be justly and appropriately a pp I i ed . Un ion. Or-If tho spring puts forth no blossoms, in aummet ih-re will be no beauty, and in the autumn no fruit.
