DEMOCRATIC OPINION IN LOUISIANA.

FROM THE NEW ORLEANS coURIER OF JULY 2, 1880.
THIRTY-SIx THIRTy.-If Congress should pass
an act making 36 80 north latitude the boundary
line of slavery, there is doubt that many persons
who now in favor of it would regard it with
contempt, and speak of it as degrading to those
who should accept of it. The truth Isl such a
boundary line, or any other established by act of
Congress, is of no use, aud Of no power whatever.
Suppose Ohio or Massachusetts should determine
to establish slavery within the limits of one of those
States. Would the act of Congress declaring that
slavery should not exist north Of SO 80 annul all
of the State legislation, and prevent it from going
into operation Or would an act of Congress pre-
vent the State of Louisiana from enacling a law
abolishing slavery within her limits The ques-
ton is too absurd to be discussed.
But in reference to the practical bearing of law
declaring the latitude of SO 80 north TO be the
boundary of free territory, it would be most inju-
rous the interests of the South, as the savehod-
ing region California is now, or will be, only one
State and slavery is interdicted therein should
the line of SO 80 be run to the Pacific Ocean, she
would form at least two States-perhaps three or
four-for her coast line on the ocean is about $50
miles in length. Every one of those States--two,
three, four-would interdict slavery as California
has done. Let us be satisfied with the present
condition of affairs. Let us rather bear those ills
that now press upon us, than fly to others that we
know not of.

The last time we saw General TAYLOR was but
week ago last Saturday, in the grounds adjacent
to the Presidential mansion, in company with Miss
Bremen and group Of other ladies' telling them of
the great delight he always found in the society OF
children. Nothing, he said, in our hearing
nothing SO much pleased him as their arlessness,
their little sports, their pratling talk for it was
picture of human nature lovely and innocent, and
not yet darkened by the iollies and the crimes
which more or less cloud the succeeding years of
mans existence. The old hero pointed to those
around him with smiling countenance and light
heart, which echoed the sentiment within. In a
few days-in one short week-how changed
On such occasions as these, none could have
singled out this distinguished man as the Chief
Magistrate of the Republic, any more than he could
have been singled out amid the iron hail at Palo
Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterey, or at Buena
Vista, as the conquering leader of the American
army. Such was his modesty, under all circum-
stances, at all places, and on all occasions.

GREAT FEAT OF AN AMERICAN STEAMER.

@.. WASHINGTON, THURSDAY EVENING
GENTLEMEN: A Geographic despatch from Mr.
COLLINS advises me that the American steamer

dented time of ten days and two hours.
This beats the .Asia's time (of the Cunard line)
nine and half hours, adding to it but twenty-one
hours for the difference between New York and
Boston. ...: 's.:
When this performance is considered in con-
nexion with the circumstance that in neither of the
