FOREIGN CAPITAL COMING INvEsTMENT.-One
of the highest compliments which this country is now
receiving (remarks the N. Y. Express) is paid TO it
by the capitalists of Europe Every steamer brings
large amounts of money for investment in our secu-
rites and for six months past the sums thus sen,
over have been increasing. As an example of very
common occurrence, may state that one house in
Switzerland sent out Sl00.000 for investment in
State and City securities. The money invested
as follows: $40 900 in Pennsylvania railroad bonds,
the payment of which is endorsed by the city of Pitts
burgh; 900 inthe securities of Cleveland, Ohio
and $4,000 in one of the good stocks of Ohio.
These securities becoming favorite investments in
Europe, and the more tempting by reason of the
difference between them and favorite State stocks.

PosIrIoN OF AFFAIRS AT WAsHINGToN.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger pre-
sents the following view of affairs at the capital:
The Administration is in dilemma of its own
choice. Either II must defeat the Compromise plan
and prevent any rational mode of settlement, it
must surrender It's own non-aciiOn plan, which the
Republic calls the fnality of the question. There is
now a fixed determination the part of Southern
members to prevent not only the admission of Cali
fnrnia by herself by every constitutional means, but
also to pass civil and diplomatic appropriation bill,
so as to stop The wheels of Government. We shall
have the first touch of it, fortnight from to-day,
when the California message will he taken out of the
Committee Of the Whole. in the House and | have
but very little doubt that the first touch of confusion
and anarchy win be felt soon. There will be adj
Journment of Congress- and no legislation unless the
President. whose plan constantly recommen-
ded in the Clayton presses of the country. COM
mand, ut least one open Wing vote or advocate in
the Senate, and something than six votes per
Sc In the House of Representatives. The AGmns-
tration h's not strength enough to carry its own
measures but it has of balance of power party,
sufficient means of doing very great mischief. II
has the means of establishing peace and sounds itself
the bugle note of through its official organ.
And all this, after assured that the President
would not exercise any undue influence on legislation
IN either House of Congress. Presidential promises
may yet be placed in the same category with Next
can pronUncidmentOS! We shall have no vote on
the Compromise Bill for month yet, and its passage
may depend the humOr the Senate is in on the last
day of the session.

A HoME-THRUsT AT ONO WHlGGERY.-We every
now and then hear in the Wing organs of Ohio. in
denunciatiOn Of the annexation of Texas, of the Mex
lean war; and the territory admitted under the treaty
of peace few days since, Governor Critienden, of
Kentucky, visited the capital of Indiana. In the
State House yard at indianapolis, he introduced
to n large of people by Governor Wright.
In reply, Governor Critenden in his speech said ::
.'Ie native of Kentucky. and bound to her by
all the ties that bind man to his native land. She
was the eldest of her western sisters and from her
loins had sprung race Of noble men, He could on
ly be born in place, but thank God he could love
the whole great and glorious confederacy the Union
was his countryside whole UnioD-he could not spare
an inch Of the could not be satisfied with less than
the Union, extending from sea to Every riuer,
inlet. bay and harbor were necessary to for COM
mercia political and moral purposes"
Let such patriots control the Ohio State Journal
and the Taylor Wing clique of Ohio, for it has sunk
into mere clique, reflect the above home thrust
from one of the Wing lights of the nation. Dare a
whig in Ohio hold up his head, like independent
man, and repeat the above language as his own
Ohio Statesman.

SENATOR CoRwIN.-A letter from Washington to
the N. Y. Tribune, says of Mr. CoRwIN:
The rumor that the Hon. Tom Corwin. of Ohio, is
to make speech in few days against MIR. Clay, and
in favor of the admission of California; and refusing
Territorial Governments TO Utah and New Mexico.
is mol true IT he makes Speech it will be for
sons that have developed themselves to his mind
and should he speak, venture the prediction that the
Free Soil party and Abotionists will forever there
after regret his effort much Gen. Crary, of
Michigan, did on former memora bic occasion. Mr..
Corwin thinks that this controversy should be ended
and that delay in settling i, is far dangerous to
the cause of Freedom than 10 the propagation of Sla
very over Territory now free. Let there be another
years delay, and Slavery is irremediaby planted in
New Mexico as far as Santa Fe, and even including
it, Settle the controversy noc. and an immense tract
of country will be restored as Free Territory that is
now Organized under the jurisdiction of Slave State.
