The Hon. Reuben Fl. Walworh the Hunker or
Cass nominee for Governors in New York, who was
lately Chancellor in that State, and whose legal opn-
ions stand very high at least with his own party, says,
in his letter accepting his nomination:
Upon the question Of the expedlency Of introdu-
cling slavery into territories Of the United States where
does not now exist there is probably real differ
ence ofopinion between any of the political parties in
the Northern and Middle States. But entirely agree
with some of the most distinguished jurists OF our
country that as slavery does nst now legally exist in
California and New Mexico it can only be introduced
into these free territories by positive law; and that no
legislation is necessary prevent its introduction there.
For this reason am opposed TO the agitation OF a
question for mere political purposes, the effect Of
which agitation will be still further to parallze the eff
forts Of the phanlhropists Of the South in favor OF
gradual system OF emancipation IN those States where
slavery already exists and thus retard the progress Of
freedom there"
How exactly he falls into line with his great Cap
tain in the Nicholson letter?

SECOND ALISON LETTER..

The Albany Evening Journal says that the
second letter of Gen. Taylor is received in the
country, as in the cities of New York, with
great satisfaction. NSince its appearance says
the Journal, eve have attended two Wing meet
ings,--at each Of which the letter was read
Every sentence was applauded; and universal
qualification was expressed. 1t exalts the Old
Hero in the estimation of honest men of all par
ties. The reasons which he assigns for his ST.
lence in Mexico afford fine illustration Of his
thoughtful patriotism. man 50 eonsiderate
and fearless in the hour Of peril, and so patriot
ic under all circumstances, commends himself to
all men, and will attract thousands to his stand
ard who have never yet been found in the Wing
ranks. A bright day has dawned, The lower
ing clouds are scattered and the Wings of the
Empire State viii come out Of the contest sue
ce~lully and unscathed."

MEXICO AS TT is,

letter TO the New Orleans Delta, dated Mexico,
August, says:
'sOrder and law appear at present to have the as.
tendency and the general opinion that this state OF
things will continue for some time. II you wish TO
embark in commercial enterprise here in other parts
of the Republic, you need not let the political state OF
the country be any hndrance to you. Every thing
is quiet and orderly, the city presents a perfect con-
trast TO Mexico you knew il, it is daily Sabbath
ofres. compared TO what il occupied by the con
ouerors You see no drunken men in the streets and
but few loaers Greasers are plenty, and the church
bells somewhat noisy, but the streets clean, the
men well behaved, and the women pious. Every
body seems to be sitting under his own vine and fig
tree and none 10 make him afraid You would be
more struck with the change in the appearance Of the
civ on entering into the Bella Union and Grand So.

| am no, aware that this question has ever been
discussed in Congress, or was over presented fer the
consideration the supreme Court ofhe United States,
before 1871. In tina! year the celebrated case from
Mississippi was decided, and Mr.. Justice Mclean
gave elaborate opinion on this point in which the
Chief Justice concurred. He came TO the conclusion
that the Constitutional power this matter was
vested in tho several States, and not in Congress So
far my knowledge extends, this opinion carried
victsn TO every unprejudiced mind and the question
was considered settled. Atany rate this ives my own
opinion then. and have no cause 10 change il
since. Should do SO, should not hesitate to declare
it.
You will therefore perceive, that you did me no in
justice in representing to your friends that these were
my sentiments.
