The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1850-03-04
New York, Monday, March A, 1850.


In our paper Of yesterday, we gave synopsis Of
two weeks later intelligence from California and
the gold diggings, which was received at Panama,
by the steamer California, and at New Orleans, by
the steamer Alabama, and transmitted 10 this city
by telegraph.
The most striking features of this intelligence
are the overflow az the city Of Sacramento, by
which loss Of upwards Of million of dollars was
sustained end the fact that The Alabama brought
half a million Of dollars in gold. The food
at Sacramento City Is the second calamity
that has occurred TO the new State Of Ca
hloinla within a short time; for the great fire
at San Francisco cannot be looked upon IN any
other light than that of calamity. Nevertheless,
We have no doubt but that Sacramento City win
shorty recover from the effects OF this misfortune.
She will soon be herself agan, for there is spirit
OF enterprise and recuperaton abroad in California,
that Will triumph over any adversely, short of ami
hilauon. The ffcshet which caused the overflow,
may repay the damage which il occasioned, by
laying bare deposits Of gold that up to this time
have remained undiscovered. It Is well known
that almost the whole surface of the soil lying on
The tributary streams that empty into the Sacra-
mento, has been scratched and overturned by the
industrious goa seekers, in their endeavors to col
lect the "root of all evil" The torrents which
prodsced that overflow will, in all probability,
bring TO light much gold that has heretofore eva
ded search. il this sbonld turn out TO be the case.
it will verify the old saying, that it is an ilwnd
which blows good TO nobody" and the gold thus
brought within reach may more Than compensate
tor the damage caused by the overflow.
We regret to see that there has been collision
between the Americans and Chlians, the first ac-
counts Of which came by the Empire City, and in
which two of the former were killed; we shall
await with interest narrative of the affair. We
may expect every day the arrival of either the
ct, amship Philadelphia er Georgia, or both, with
the mails. There is great anxiety to hear further
from The digeirgs, and we hope TO be able to gra-
ufy the public by laying before them, at length,
the details Of the two weeks later news from there,
now fully due, by the Philadelphia and Georgia,
IN a very few Geys.

The DccTRiNK or INSTRUCTION IN CONVECTION
WITH THE SLAVERY QuESuoS.--A contemporary
very Justly remarks, that one Of the most serious
of the difficulties that surrounds the settlement, Of
the slavery question by the Congress of the United
States, is, that many Of the Northern, Southern,
Eastern and Western members, 10 both houses Of
Congress- are instructed by the Legislatures Of the
States winch they represent to vote, according to
the instructions which they shall give them. Thus
It was only the other day. tina, the representatives,
OF this State in Congress were instructed to vote
only as the philosophers 10 Albany directed.
Those wonderfully wise men put their heads to-
gether, and after celebrating and fighting for
several weeks abou, what was the real sentiment
of the people OF tins state the question Of slave
~ finally agreed that was IN favor IT anislavery
in the new territories. General Cas- is placed in
the same situation. and 80 are great many other
members Of Congress from different parts Of the
country.
Now. we hold that this doctrine Of instruction is
OF only an absurd one, because the State Ieeis.
atures have no power TO compel obedience to their
Instructions, but il is in the highest degree i'm
pudent assumption Of right Mat ought not to belong
10 them. The States elect Senator's and Repre-
seu,atiyes. and send them to Washington for the
purpose Of attending TO national anu federal aaIrs;
and the Legislatures Of the States have no more to
do with the duties and responsibilities of members
Of Congress, than members Of Congress have to do
with them. ltwould be fully as high handed a pro.
oeeding for Congress TO instruct the Legislature 81
any State to pass certain measure, az II is for the
Legislature Of any State to instruct the reprcsen.

as they ought 10 be, and any interference by the
ore with the duties the other, is lmpudent
SUMPTION Of power that should not be tolerated.
The grand Union meeting in Castle Garden, on
Monday evening last, showed conclusvely that,
far as the city of New York at least is concern
go, the resolutions passed by the Legislature at
Albany do not express the will Of this people on
lie slavery question; and-'vs have no doubt that
other Legislatures have missed the mark just as
widely in regard to the sentiments OF other parts
OF the country, on the same subject.
We say, then, let Senators and Representatives
in Congress disregard all instructions emanating
from State LIE gislatures. Let them pay attention
TO what those factious fellows, just emerged from
the noisy arena Of political strife, may say in
struct II Is the duty of the Senate, especially, to
do go. The members of that body are elected for
the term OF SIX years, for the express purpose of
making them independent Of the political anlmosi-
ties of the day, few of which last for long Pc
Rod. Let this doctrine of instruction prevail, and
the beautiful theory Of our government will be de-
suoyed. The great conservative power, the Sc
nate, will be lost, and the Senate chamber will be
converted into second House of Representatives
Let all instructions from State Legislatures, then,
be disregarded.

.oLD WITTY ON A BUsT.'

That parsonage, says the Republic,
OF whom our locofocO friends were wont
to write and speak in past times, Old
Witty yesterday had his war spirit con-
siderabIy revived. We are informed
that as the fremen's procession passed
with its martial music, his rejoicing
knew no restraint, and that, with name
and tail erect, he plunged into the midst
of them, and spread dismay and con-
fusion along the whole line.
A correspondent of the Charleston
News gives the amusing account OF the
seen which follows;
We have had stirring time with the
New York Firemen to day, all our Fire
Companies having turned out to do
them honor. At noon, accompanied by
half dozen bands playing martial mu'
sic, they visited the President, whC
shook hands with them all and asked
them how they did. AS they were re-
turning through the grounds in font o
the Mansion they bebeld on less an m
portant listener than 'Old Wiley the
the faithful animal on whose bark Gen
Taylor won all The victories. A'tracthet
BY the powerful blast Of niartial music
he pricked up his ears and elevated hl'
name as though he srnelt gu9Po"der
and was again about 10 rush into the
shock Of contending hosts. The mex
moment the old war horse gave snort
and charged headlcng through the
New York band, who happily, however
escaped without injury, 1t was a flint
