Neither the soil, the climate, nor the pro-
ductions of that portion Of California south of
&c deg. 30 min.-nor, indeed, OF any portion
of it, north or south-is adapted to slave la
Dor and, besides, every facility would be there
afforded to the slave to escape from his mas
ter. Such property would be utterly insecure
in any part of California 1t is morally I'M
possible, therefore, that majority OF the emil
grants to that portion of the territory south OF
SO deg 80 min.-which will be chiefly COM
posed of our fellow citizens from the eastern,
middle, and western States-will ever re-estab-
lish slavery within its limits In regard to
New Mexico, east of the Rio Grande, the
question has been already settled by the ad-
mission of Texas into the Union.
Should we acquire territory beyond the Rio
Grande, and east of the rocky mountains, it il
still more improbable that majority of thu
people of that region would consent TO re -es
tablish slavery They are themselves, in ;
large proportion, colored population; and a
mong them, the negro does not, socially, be
long to degraded race.
The question is, therefore, not one OF prac
teal importance. Its agitation, however hon
estlv intended, can produce no effect but
ALLEVIATE the people of different portions OF tn
Union from each other, to excite sectional dl
visions and iealousies; and to distract an
possibly destroy the democratic party, on tn
ascendency of those principles and measure
depends, as, | firmly believe, the success
our grand experiment of self-government.
Such have been my individual opinions
openly and freely expressed, ever since tn
! commencement of the present unfortunate ag
tation and of all places in the world, | pr'
fer to put them on record before the ihcorrul
tible democracy of old Berks. Therefore be
leave to offer you the following sentiment:
; The Missouri Compromise. adoption
1920 saved the Union from threatened convu
sion. Its extension in 1848 to any new teri
tory which we may acquire, will secure Il
like happy results.
Yours, very respectfully,
\ JAMES BUCHANAN.

DIsGRAcEFUL SCENE-A most disgraceful
scene occurred at Accomack Courthouse, Va,
on the 3Oth ult. A correspondent of the
Richmond Enquirer says:
GO | regret to have to inform you of an un-
fortunate ARRAY which occurred at our Court
house yesterday afternoon, Git being our court
day. in which Mr.. VIM. B. Finney was shot
For days before Court, the county was filled
with reports, that Judge Bayly was to be at
tackled on that day by a combination of men,
led on by some of the Messrs. Finneys; and
also, that the Court was to be insulted, and
some of its members taken from the bench and
tied. These reports painfully affected every
lover of peace and good order, and many were
disposed to attach no credit to them whatever:
but the result proved they were mistaken. AS
soon as Judge Bayly got through with his bu-
siness in Court, which was between sun set
and DARK, he left the Court house, walked over
to the Tavern, stopped just in front of the no.
tel, when he was taken off a few feet by d
client and engaged in conversation with him.
At this time Mr.. VIM B. Fnney was seen to
approach Judge Bayly. followed by his back
ers, who, it seems, had all been assembled in
the Tavern porch but a moments CONVEX
sation ensued, when Finney struck Baylyanl
knocked him dow; and as Bayly rose, he dis
charged his pistol at Finney, and the ball pass
ed through his thigh and lodged in the foot of
MIR. Tracer. The wound is not considered a
dangerous one. The mob for | cannot in
truth characterize it by milder term) now
| became furious, and no man can conceive
what the result would have been, but for the
very prompt and energetic action of Mr. Jno.
c. Wise, one of our Magistrates. Mr.. Wise
himself was armed he being one of the Jus
tees that was threatened with being taken of
the bench and tied on that day; and it was
this fortunate circumstance that enabled him
to hold the mob in check everything like law
and its officers were disregarded and tro1den
under foot. The excitement was 30 great that
it was found impossible to 20 into anything
like an investigation of the matter, and Judge
Bayly was lodged in Jail for the night. To-
day the whole matter underwent an investiga.
ton. when he was fully acquitted The evl.
dence made out pure case of sell defence
Three Magistrates were sitting in the case
and they were unanimous in their OPINION
Throughout this whole affair, the conduct and
bearing of Judge Bayly was cool. calm and
collected. MIR. John c. Wise's efforts, as a
peace officer, were above all praise, and the
writer of this would be doing injustice to hi:
own feelings were he to omit to add, that II
these efforts he was nobly sustained by Mr.
Revell West, one of the very best officers tina
this or any other county was ever blessed
with. His torn and tattered coat the mex
morning was the best evidence of the service:
through this trying affair. You may be read,
to ask the cause of this excitement agains
Judge BayIy. Twill answer, in a word, i
was Mr. VIM B. Finney's defeat at our las
Spring election, and the triumphant vot
which Judge Bayly obtained in this count,
) for Congress. Yours. Truly.
