CAMP NEAR MONTBREY. July 9th, 1847. KKSPECTKD SIR :—Y«»ur very important communication came lo hand in due course of mail nnd baggnge wagmi transportation. 1 read it wi'li profound pleasure. I was delighted .with the independent expression of vour sentiments, and the laudable motives thbl induced vou to pluce them before me in writin". The Government has kept me so exceedingly busy of late, doing nothing, that I hnvonot'had time to write you as promptly a# could have desired, nor can I os explicitly, when I do sit down to tho task,as the importance ol the subject demanda. \our first ]ue*lion—I shall answer them all categorically—ia one that involves a favorite system of vxchnnge, which would be indelicate lor me, in mv presetit position to enlarge upon, hut 1 will say in passing, that ii is heller lo have a etutie in one end of the meal bag than in the bladder. To your second question I answer, 1 am in favor i»f mules having colts provided it suits tho mules, and don't interfere with the vested rights of lhe people. \our third question involves A point up«»ntwhich I have many doubts—crossing the melon with the pumpkin certainly enlarges the melon, but il will re•qui™ a large share of the attention of philosophers toahow it don't ruin the nutmeg.

NOMOUIiTEKUITORY-.NO.UORESLAVE TKKU1TOKY. The gnma of ahuftle and shrink—of compromise and dodge— tvith reaard to the great question involved tho ilmot Proviso, is at length fairly developed. Mr. Calhoun has •aid that the South must rally as one man in ifa utmost strength and resolution to oppoae and put down the Proviso and Southern Lo-co-Focoism has plainly declared that no other than an adversary oflhe NVilmnt Proviso can receive its support for the Presidency or any other station. Silas Wright is dead, nnd has leA no man qualified to lead and hold together the array of which he was tho soul.

Lewis Cass, who declared himself in favor of the

prinipte

of the Proviso, while he voted

against the measure as untimely, has sunk behind the horizon, apparently distrusted •or disregarded by both friends and adversaries of Impartial Freedom James Buchanan has proclaimed his unqualified surrender to the demands ol Slavery Levi Woodbury had knuckled under before him ao it is vir» tually settled that the next Loco Foco candidate for President will be an open advocate of 5?lave Extension. And yet the opposition at the North to the tranaformation of Free into Slave Territory is inatinctively so strong that every variety ol ingenious device will be resorted to in the hope that the biiter pill may be gill if not sweetened.
