Mr.. BUCHANAN arrived at Harrisburg On
Wednesday week. and it is reported that
thereon succeeded secret and solemn eau
cusing for several days, doubtless for some
highly patriotic purpose connected with
the affairs Of 1850. The Telegraph, in
noticing his advent, says:
at is said that Mr., Buchanan has had great
trouble in preparing letter on the slavery ques-
ton. which should be agreeable to all parties,
and that the missive in question has passed sew
eraI times already around the circuit of Lam
caster. York, Washington, Baltimore, and Phil
adelphia, for the purpose of revision, but with
ont vet receiving the finishing touch. The
thing proves an unruiy cub, and very hard to

Effects of California Emigration.

The immense emigration to California
from the interior and Western States, be-
cIus 10 be seriously felt by the merchants
of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, &c.
4 very large proportion of the money
which under other circumstances would
come East to pay for goods, to be consumed
at the West, now is expended on the
Western frontier in purchasing mules. pro-
visions, wagons, &c, for persons on their
way to California. The amount of money
thus diverted from It's channels, says the
York Courier, can only be roughly com
putcd at; but even such an estimate shows
that 1t must he very large. All accounts
concur in stating that al least l00, 900 per-
sons will leave the Western States for Cal
ifornia during the coming season. No one
can 20 without an outfit worth. al least.
$3.50, and this gives an aggregate of S25,-
000,000 10 be expended in lhis way. Its
true this money docs not go TO California.
Hut 1t goes TO the extreme Western from
tier of the country, to Independence and
other frontier towns, and comes back only
after long time, and by a curcuitous
route. Those who formerly stayed at
home, and consumed goods bought in
/ Eastern Markets, now go West, and their
places are not supplied. Trade here,
! therefore, suffers to that extent, and il is
larger than it would at first appear. Many
at the West are selling their farms, which
they have brought into a state of partial cul-
tivation, at very low prices,, to raise the
means of going 10 California. The coun.
try has never before seen any event which
affected business in the same way, O.
TO the same extent with the emigration tc
California. And its effects are justmakinf
themselves apparent.

ctax. Webster. Cass. and the Nicholson
Letter.

The opposition press has been Growing
considerably Of late because, as they al
lege, the doctrine advanced by Gen. Cass
in his Nicholson letter was adopted by
Clay, Webster, and other prominent wings.
The New Castle Gazette calls attention to
this matter, and clearly shows that the
locofoco press is leading its readers into
error as to the views advanced by Gen.
Cass in that letter, which in reality con-
ceded everything that the slavery propa-
gandists desired, viz: the extension of that
peculiar institution into the new territories.
The first reason advanced by Gen. Cass
against the Wilmot Proviso, Tor rather
jefferson, for Thomas Jefferson was in
reality the author of the ordinance of 1897,
prohibiting slavery in the territories Of the
United States, is that il is unconstitutional
The second is, that no treaty could be
ratified in the Senate, making an acquisi-
ton of Mexican territory, with such re-
striction, because such principle would
be viewed " as an exclusion of the citizens
of slaye-holding States from participation
in the benefits acquired by the treasure of
ALL and Chich should be COMMON to nN. :"
The last reason we will quote in full:
But there is another important consideration,
which ought not to be lost sight Of in the inyes-
tigation Of this subject. The question that pre-
sents itself is not the question of the increase,
but of the diffusion Of Siarsry. Whetler its sphere
be stationary progressive, AMOUNT WILL BE
THE SAME. The rejection of this restriction
will not add one to the class of seryitude, nor
will its adoption give freedom to single being
who is now placed therein. The same numbers
will be spread over greater territory and so far
as compression, with less abundance Of the ne
cessaries of life, is evil, far will that evil
be mitigated by transporting slaves TO a new
country, aud giving them larger space to oc-
cupy."CO
Here, then, is what the locofoco press
calls - the very sheet anchor of our coun-
try" and is as far from the views enter
tanned by Messrs. Clay and Webster as
can well be.

70 The correspondent of the North
American charges that the editors of the
Washington Union-the principal organ
of locofocoism-iateIyr rendered a bill of
$4,000 for printing 10000 copies Of the
Decision of the Supreme Court in the
Passenger Cases, pamphlet containing
lSl pages. Objection being made to this
enormous charge, Richie finally agreed to
take Sl2, 500, which sum was actually
paid him by locofoco Office holder At
the old congressional prices this work ought
not to have cost more than $4,000, Yet this
brawler against General Taylor's admins
tration makes no scruplc 10 take four times
that amount. Our readers can Judge for
themselves respecting this matter by call
ing At any book store, where they will find
a large number OF books containing from
two to three hundred pages, any one of
which can be bought al retail for % cents.
Il seems TO us that men who are so ready
to charge The wings with dishonesty in
paying just claims, ought first to clear their
own shirts Of pcculaiion, &c.
