WHITE HALL, July Goth, lS4s.

Extract from letter to the editor dated
WHITE HALL, July Goth, ls4s.
Friend Nick:
The names oi Cass and Butler are hailed
with no faint enthusiasm in this vicinity
But there is a universal murmurng through.
out the ranks of the democracy, at the treas.
on Of Van Buren-not from fear of defeat,
but that one, hitherto afavorite, should prove
so base. Our election for State executive
and Legislative officers takes place the 7,h
August; there is no doubt about the result,
and the State will roll up tremendous ma
ority this fall for Cass and Butler.
The Federal ranks seem to be in great
confusion, both here and elsewhere. From
the ST. Louis papers perceive that numbers
of Wing presses, in every northern State,
have fatty refused to support the nominees
of the Philadelphia Convention.
The Wings in this vicinity very much dis
like the name of Federalsls. They seem to
have forgotten that Of the fourteen candi-
dates for Harrison Electors, in Massachu-
se,ls in 1910. all but two were old Z ederal
ists--that of the twenty surviving members
of the Worcester Convention, against The SO
termed "Madison's War; every one was q
Harrison whig. Bit Notwithstanding their
duplcity, and available candidate, their
doom is sealed; their overthrow is inevitable,
their ruin is certain. The people have be-
come too well acquainted with the princi-
Plies Of the two parties TO hesitate which to
choose, or doubt which is best calculated to
Sc cure their happiness and prosperity, ana
place their liberty on an immutable founda-
tion.
You may look for good report from lIi-
nois. A. G. G.

Germany.

The German National Assembly, sitting
at Frankfort, has been engaged for two
months in the preparation of an organic law,
uniting the various German powers under a
single provisional executive head, The act
for this purpose was fnally passed by vote
of 450 against 100. The executive has ad-
minisiraton of all affairs of common con-
cernment 10 the nation-the War Depart
ment of the confederation-the representa-.
ton of the confederation in its relations with
foreign nations, appoints diplomatic agents,
Sc, sc. The Archduke John, Of Austria,
was on the 29th ofJune elected Administra-
tor of the empire. This is still further
step to unite German interests, and will, in
commercial point of view, prove Of the u,-
most importance; and it appears that new
and more favora BILE tariff is already in con-
temptation by the new German Government
By the above it will be seen that an impor-
tant advance has resulted from the late revo.
lutionary movements in Germany. This
is but the beginning, but it is an excellent
one.

THE CoMPRoMIsE.-Th bill organising
governments in the Territories, called the
Compromise Bill, is asserted TO adopt the
platform of Gen. Cass's letter TO Mr.. Nichol.
son, of Tennessee. That this not the fact,
we appeal to the Documents:
Gen. Cass says:--'' Briefly, then. lam opposed
to the exercise of ANY JURISDICTION BY
| CONGRESS over this matter; and am in favor
Of leaving the people of the Territory, the righ,
| to regulate it for themselves, under the general
principles Of the Constitution"
Now for the Territorial Bill:
Seen Goth contains the compromise, and is as
follows: THAT the Legislative Power of the
Territory (New-MeVico and California; shall un-
til Congress shall otherwise provide, De vested in
Governor, Secretary, and Judges Of the Supreme
Court. who, or majority of them, shall have
power to pass any law for the administration Of
justice in said territory, which shall not be re-
puenant to this act, or Inconsistent with the laws
and consttu ton of the United States. Bit NC
LAW. SHALL BE PASSED interfering with
the primary DISPOSAL of the soil, respecting an Is.
ta6hshn,ent Of religion, or RESPECTING SLA-
VERY; and no tax shall be imposed upon the
property of the United States, NOR shall the lands
or other property of non-residents be taxed high
er than :he lands or other property of residents.
All the laws shall be submitted to the Congress
of the United States, and if dlsapproyed shall be
null and void"
We think that these two par agraphs con-
template very different things He must be
wllully blind who does not see in The Ian
guage of the above section the full assertion
of the jurisdiction by Congress-" and the
exclusion of the jurisdiction of the people
of the territorv.
