The Convention with Grea, Britain.

The PRESIDENTS proclamation announcing
the exchange, ON the 4th instant, of notifications
of the Convention concluded between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain for facilitating and
protecting the construction Of a ship canal be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, will be
found in another column. 1t is a happy coin

years ago, was forever severed, should, on its
anniversary, have stricken hands in plighted CO.
operation for the accomplishment of great en-
terprise in which the whole commercial world
is interested, and at the same time cemented
their own amity by the solemn remuneration OF
all claim to private advantage as well from this
work, as from asserted jurisdiction or influence
in the adjoining territory.
BY the States of Central America this Con-
vention will be justly regarded as the real char
ter of their independence, and the guaranty of
their perpetual security from foreign dominion.

this, as well as all other domestic or municipal
regulations, is left 10 the inhabitants, who are
to govern themselves. No Southern man, !"
adds the Union, lean justify himself in deny
ing 70 them this right" This is very well put;
and il stands in most favorable contrast with
the coercve requirements ofthe other plan, that
| of the Omnibus bill, which many members of
Congress from the North and from the South
| cannot vote for without in their judgment,
compromising constitutional or other principles;
1t involves the whole controversy about slavery
and the Wilmot proviso; and, instead of leaving
the domestic regulations of the Territories 10
the inhabitants who are to govern themselves,
1t converts Congress into municipal LegisLa-
tire, to use the appropriate language of Mr..
PRESTON, now Secretary Of the Navy, as APP
piled in his able speech during the last session
of Congress, when this same principle was I'M
der discussion
Mr.. NICHOLSON speaks of the laws of ma
| ture--and very memorable laws they are. In
combination with the laws of productive econ
omy, they have great deal to do with slavery
as system of labor. Perhaps if Congress
| would let the system alone, and leave it to
the operation of those laws, with which all mu-
| nlcipal laws concerning it would, sooner or later,
conform, the institution would be as well regu-
| lated, and its destiny be as well controlled, as
though the wisdom of the National Legislature
should be continually, as now, devoted to that
subject, to the exclusion of almost every thing
else.

''In reference to the newly acquired Territories,
all that we can demand or desire is, that Congress
shall neither force slavery into them nor keep it
out Of them by assumption of unconstitutional
powers, but give to them governments for their

to the hws of nature the settlement of the question
whether slavery shall shall not exist, when they

A long letter from Mr.. NICHOLSON, of Ten

States Senate, and more recently of the Nash
vile convention, appears in the Union ofWed-
nesday; from it We take the foregoing para

In view of these two difficulties, and not per

Of territorial governments, which must at any
rate be temporary, the two classes of persons
We have designated are in favor Of leaving the
Territories under their present system of local
laws aud military protection until they shall be
prepared TO come into the Union as States, with
or without slavery, as the inhabitants may pre-
fer. This same result would follow if terrific

seems to regard the establishment Of territorial
governments as So vitality important, that for
that end the proviso must be encountered, and ,
if possible, slain, though the public business be
suspended in the mean time, and a seven
months agitation be provoked, tending not only
to disturb and worry the country, but also to
render sectional animosities inveterate, and TO
give prospect Of more trouble in the future.

FNllInX on Ia EmiYrn ton.

A short time since we took occasion to remark
upon the reason for the unusual diminution in
the number of emigranis who are seeking our
shores, and which we thought discernible in the
decreased market for labor We regarded the
fact, moreover, as corroboratve evidence to that
furnished by the closing of mills, and torges,
and factories, that the condition of industry was
greatly depressed. The Albany .Atlas sought
to avoid the force of the argument, which these
events furnish, against the working of the tariff
of 1916, by citing a statement that the arrivals
at the port of New York in the month of May
some five thousand more than in the same
month last year. This statement they pro-
duced with an air of triumph, under the head
of "A Bit of Panic Spoiled, although the very
article which it undertook to spoil by suppress
ing much Of it as contained that identical state
ment, and by lacking it on in the shape of a
quotation from the New York Tribune, gave to
every reader the means of making so much de-
ductlon from its force as the circumstance that
the dImnutlon IN the number of emigrants was
very sudden and in violent contrast with the
experience of the month Immediately preceding,
might seem To require. We happen just now
to find the article of the atlas on It's travels in
another Opposition paper, and in the same mail
which brings it we find, too, the materials for
comparing the emigration Of this year and last
through more extended period than the sin

cords proved that the decrease was large.
