members of the House have determined to band
together, to defeat, by well-known parliamentary
sxpedients and articles, all action upon the Cai-
fornia bill as a separate measure MIR. Clay as

consents to deliver over California to the tender

the information that he was in favor OF admitting
California, of course-but the truth was, the

to get California in was by mixing her up in a

one, as counties and departments are now united
in a nation; and by the establishment Of Tribu-
nal for the peaceful settlement of international
controversies. What they seek for the world,
Americans have accomplished for all nations now
reposing and which may hereafter dwell under
the star-spanged banper. The Union has estab-
hshed perpetual Peace among thirty sovereign
States; and should 1t endure, In the same way it
will secure and eternire the Peace Of all North
America, which is yet to be united under its flag
Thus establishing Free Trade and Free Inter-
course throughout Continent, thus diffusing in
telligence and humanity, and high civilization
among all its Inhabitants thus harmonizing In
terests and Ideas, and Vanishing war, and main
tanning perpetual peace among numerous nations,
all speaking one language, and linked in one des-
tiny, the American Union would become the
Hope aud Example Of the world-One of the
grand instruments of Gods Providence for the
regeneration Of mankind.
We do not forget the slave; but the well-being
of this poor outcast from humanity is another
reason why we cherish the Union. Disunion,
were it not followed Immediately by servile war,
would array the Shareholders in more deadly OPP
position than ever to anti-slavery movements,
and the hope Of peaceful emancipation would be
extinguished Should servile war follow, the
consequences would be deplorable alike to both
races Of all conflicts, that is most certain to
transform men into fends, to blast society to its
very foundations Freedom achieved by such
means, is only less endurable than slavery. The
passions aroused and nurtured during the savage
struggle almost disqualify the slaves for the pos
session of rational liberty, render order almost
unattainable, and demand the determination of
| one of the races.
But, cherishing the Union as we do, we would
no sooner think Of preserving it by sacrifice of
Justice and Truth, than we would our own life,
by the Preparation of crime. No matter how
sacred we may deem an object, no matter how
fondly our best affections may cling to it, no
matter how vitality associated in our thoughts it
may be with all great interests, If it can be main
tanned only at the expense of Truth Justice, and
Mercy, let it alone-for these principles find their
equivalent in God alone.

posed by Mr.. Clgman. This game is, the use

cutting this claim. At his request, as may be seen
in our Congressional record, a Committee has
been raised in the House of Represen tatives, to
inquire into his relation to this claim, and his
conduct respecting it.
When the transaction was first talked about,
the Washington Union charged Mr.. Ewing with
being the actor in it: it was he who had allowed
the claim The world was invoked to crush with
its indignation man who could be guilty Of 80
base an act-and he was charged with corruption.
For one week, he was made the subject of daily
vtuperation on this account, and not word in
explanation or defence appeared in either Of the
organs of the Administration. At length, the
Iaielligncer inserted an article, stating that Mr.
Ewing had had nothing to do with the transac-
ton, and knew nothing Of it till he was charged
publicly with participation in it-but that the
claim had been paid by Mr. Meredith, on the
strength of an opinion rendered by the Attorney
General At the same time, it leaked out that
Mr.. Crawford was connected with it as ON agent
for the claimants formerly, if not at the present
time.
The Uaon in a lean paragraph retracted its
charge against Mr.. Ewing but expressed no re-
greet at having done him injustice One, igno-
rant Of the sectional prejudices Of that paper,
might have supposed that the whole weight of its
indignation would at once have been transferred
TO the real actors in the affair. Not at all Mr..

Southern men-and the Union deals with them
tenderly. 1t expresses some surprise at the de-
csion of Mr.. Johnson-that is all and it forbesrs
to enlarge upon the report concerning Mr.. Craw-
ford, trusting that justice may be done by the
Committee of tigstion--although it is con-
strained to think that it is improper for any men,
Der of the Cabinet to be engaged in prosecuting
claims against the Government of which he is q
part
Now, Mr.. Ewing is no friend Of ours-nor do
we sustain any relation to the members of the
Cabinet which disposes us to like or dislike any
of them-but we wish to see justice done. Let
the Union cast aside its sectional feeling, and dea
with all of them impsrtially. Now, it is notori
Gus that that Journal is in the habit Of assalinl

THE GALPHIN CLAIM.

The Galphin claim, as it is called is attracting
as much attention just now, as the Nashville
Convention. The origin of this claim is thus stated
by George M. Jones, acting auditor:
al find that this claim originated in certain debts
due to the said Galphin, and other traders from
the Greek and Cherokee Indians, the payment of
which was provided for by the treaty Of l773,
between the said Indian tribes and the British
Crown That on the Cd of May, 1915, an account
Of those debts was examined and adjusted by q
commission, composed ofthe Governor and Council
of the colony Of Georga and the Of nine thou

shillings and FIVE pence tf9,79l 15s. 5d-S43,-

in his own right and as assignee of various other
individuals be paid out of the proceeds ofthe sale
of the lands ceded by the said Indians to the Brit
ish Crown by the said treaty, provided the same
should be sufficient for that purpose but if insult
fcent, then, in q ratable proportion to each of
the claimants, as appears from certificate rem.
dered in his favor, and recorded in the Journal Of
the proceedings of said Governor and Council on
that day"
Meantime, the war of the Revolution broke
out-George Galphin arrayed himself on the
side of INDEPENDENTLY lost in this way all
claim upon the British Government. The wild
lands of Georgia were coded to the General Gov
ernment-and on a subsequent presentation Of
his claim to the Legislature of Georgia it was
held that it was binding on the United States
Not until the year 1916 was the claim recognised
by Congress, when bill was passed directing the
Treasury Department to audit and settle the ac-
count Thiswas done, Secretary Walker paying
over to the heirs or assigns Of the original claim
ant $4,000. But, claim for interest for rs
years thereon was then raised, which was rejected
by Mr. Walker.

tion-reported against by Controller Whittlesey.
to whom it had been referred-then permitted or
directed by Mr.. Meredith to be referred to Mr.
Johnson, Attorney General, who gave his opinion
in favor of its validity. On the strength Of this
opinion, MIR. Meredith directed its payment and

What increases the sensation produced by this
extraordinary procedure Is the statement current
in the newspapers that Mr. Crawford, Secretary
Of War, was the agent Of the claimants in prose-

would dissolve it, as sure as tomorrow would

many, of the recognition of slavery south Of 800
