&motor Douglas, one of the most prominent of
the democratic candidates for the Presidency, had
written a letter, which was regarded in the light of
a political manifesto, on the subjects of naturalisa-
tion and the re-opening of the African glare trade.
The letter is in substance as follows :

"Mere can be no difference in the degrees of pro-
tection accorded by government to native and natu-
ralised citizens. Oar constitution recognises no dif-
ference in this respect. If a person can expa-
triate himself from a foreign government
and swear allegiance to this, and still owe
anything to the foreign power, he is in
the singular and incredible predicament of owing
allegiance to two countries withoet being entitled
to the protection of either. He would accord the
fullest protection to all our citizens. In the conven-
tion the constitution was a meatus of compromise,
and the African glare trade was the subject. South
Carolina and Georgia wished to coatinoe it ; Virginia,
Pennsylvania, New limy, and New York wished it
terminated ' • New England was passive in the
matter. South Carolina and Georgia dually carried
their point of continuance till the year 1808, with
the understanding that it should then end. It,
therefore, became the vital compromise of their
instrument, and must be held as sacred es
the instrument itself. In this view Judge
Ironglae declares himself to be irrevocably op-
posed to the re-opening of the African slave trade."
Judge Mason, of the New York Supremo Court, had
granted the motion for the appointment of a receiver
of the New York and Erie Railroad.

An incendiary An at Memphis, Tennessee, had
destroyed property to the value of 125,000 dole.
By advice. Jest received at Wuhington it apposes
that Juarez declines signing a treaty without the
approval of the Mexican Congress, and one cannot
be called until the liberals obtain possession of the
city of Mexico. This, however, is not the only
difficulty. A couspirscy was discovered in the
capital on the I Ith ult., the plan of which was to
marinate the Governor, and take possession of the
governmeot.
It was reported at Washington that a cargo of
Africans had been landed on the coast of Florida,
near Tampa. As soon as the landing was effected
the teemed was tired and abandoned.

The statement recently published, giving an
account of the gold discoveries in the Indian ceme-
teries of New Granada, had caused quite a fever of
excitement in New York. It was reported that a
vessel was fitting out at that port for the new
Eldorado.

It may now be fairly calculated (says the New
York Herald) that the crops throughout the country

auspicious; an abundant harvest has blessed the'
labour of the husbandman. The crops throughout
these countries will be at least an average one, de-
spite the fears which arose foe the result of the
great drought of the summer.
A despatch from Denver City, Kansas, says:
" Great excitement prevailed at the mine', in conse-
quence of the discovery of rich diggings at the head

robbers which infest the territory. One or two
victims bad suffered the death penalty, and others
were punished."
