The Secretary of State is entitled to all the benefit OF
the explanation which the National IntelIigencer was
authorized to make in the following paragraph
ga word the Evening Post as to the dsconnuance OF
that journal by the Department OF State, which paradas
ostentaousy in its columns. II is well known that the
prescription of wing journals by that department has been
nearly universal for many years. and learn that the
present Secretary of State gave order that the newspa
pers taken by the department should be equally divided
between the two political parties The Post was among
those discontinued Is proscripve merely to divide
with us! Was democratic Secretary liberal to
his opponents! May foreign ministers whom papers
to be forwarded, never receive anything from the de-
but papers all side As the charge that
the Pos, other paper discontinued because it
ree-so paper, well satisfied there is
particle of foundation for it,"
We know not what was the proportion of papers re-
ceved at the department. from either side of the house
but can scarcely suppose the prescription ha. been
nearly universal as is here supposed Certain it is.
imagine that the National lntelligencer was not among
the prescribed We admit that reasonable objection
can be made towards equalization OF the supply
All we wish is, that the Secretary had taken upon him
self to Judge of the quality, well as the proportion
in which the Boston Post, at least would have
been stricken off Besides, do we understand the rule
which the Secretary has ordered Does he reduce the
democratic journals without enlargng the wing st If
So it strikes that the Secretarys rule would operate
very much against the value nay, the existence Of
his files; for if the prescription of the wing press
were "nearly universal" and the democratic Jour
nails are to be cut off to the standard of the wings,
the prescription that side, too, would become
g nearly UNIVERSAL" and thus very few papers of
either party would be left for the of the Secretary,
or as chronicles for his successors. We should have
preferred to keep up the present files not break them
and rather enlarge the substitution to the whg papers
than the democratic files The Procustes bed of
the department could not answer its most desirable
purpose. You lop off the too long, when it better
to stretch the too short. We hope is not in this sense
that the rule is to be applied.

The Protocol.
The Washington correspondent of the New York Eve
ming Post makes the following statement which may be
true but we will not vouch for il:

The Washington correspondent OF the New York Eve
ming Post makes the following statement which may be
true, but will not vouch for it:
1t is rumored outside OF the (Senae) chamber and the
doubtless proceeds from the inside that the Protocol
has been the subject OF correspondence between the
Mexican minister, Senior Rosas and the State Department
that Mr. Polk transmitted his message to Con-
gress, asserting in substance that the Protocol was mere
diplomatic device facilitate the business of procuring the
ratification OF the treaty, and that il meant nothing and
secured nothing the Mexican minister addressed note OF
very decided character the President, affirming that
the government of Mexico looked upon that instrument
an important modification of the treaty, and the guaan
tee OF rights and advantages which could not willingly
inquish, and desiring to be informed whether the govern
of the United States intended repudate its stpula
ton.
No reply made to this communication. Her min
lister made another of like import. To this Mr.. Blu
chanan replied in accordance with the terms of the Pres
dents message Congress. Her minister reoined with
vigorous protest. in which he iteated the understanding
under which this Protocol had been agreed by his
ernment and eced the consequences of the view taken
by that Of the United States Thus the stood the
advent of General Taylor and Mr. Clayton what has since
taken place, will probably appear in subsequent de-
veopment of the proceedings OF the Senate in executive
session.
Another letter in the New York Post says, "that on
Friday last, when the Senate about to adjourn, Mr.
Seward offered resolution that the Protocol part
of the treaty" But was laid on the table, and not
acted on
We feel no difficulty in stating what have little
doubt is the truth that the Secretary of State (Mr Clay
on has since addressed note to Senior Rosas, who has
in vain brought up this PROTOCOL that the administration
attached of importance to it, and that they con-
sdeed the treaty itself binding upon the two republics
Thus the administration is acting with rmness spirit
and consideration which were due to the occasion And
thus ends the chapter.

For ourselves, do not believe Congress should egsae

matter which should be settled by the people in their local
capacities. The constitution does authorize Congress
legislae upon slavery The spirit of its great
promise is that the people of the various
