..we are sold 20 the British. -

So say our neighbors of the Union, and
they should know, for they have been, at
all times, advocates of the British policy,
which would retain the Union as Tfhe
most useful Of the British colonies" The
fact is, doubtless, as they state it. The
nation has been sold, and the question re-
naming to be settled is, by whom the sale
was made.
The turner's were told that il they would
unite in policy that would prevent the
building Of mills and furnaces, and close
those already built, they should have mar
ket abroad for 'tbreadstufs and provisions
that would ego on augmenting," and that
they would "sell more at higher prices"
They did so unite, and the result is, that
the mills and furnaces are closed, and,
being closed, that demand for labor has
diminished; that the immigration Of for
eigners DESTROYS to come here and eat food
is rapidly diminishing; and that, in ex-
change for rapidly growing home mar
ket, they have obtained foreign one, to
which even now they cannot 90 unless
prepared to "compete" with the Pole and
the Russian, who are willing to deliver in
England heavy wheat at about eighty
cents bushel, and likely soon 10 deliver
it at seventy cents. They have certainly
been sold to the British.
The planter was told that, If he would
stop the building Of mills and furnaces,
he, too, would "sell more at better prices. "
He did so, and the result is, that, il he
would obtain those "better prices," he

Throughout the long period Of Demo
cratic ascendency severely proscriptive
course of policy has prevailed in the ad-
ministration of the affairs of this extensive
establishment; and its effects have been
sufficient, latterly, to change the political
aspect of that county, not by changing the
political sentiments Of individual men, but
by banishing the old residents and EN-.
ployees, and introducing other men from
different localities in their. places. Com

quently presented, and should assuredly
be hearkened to. Justice should be done
the many worthy and respectable people
whose honest political convictions have so
long excluded them from every position
of honor, trust, or profit.

special message of the President commu-
nicating the constitution of the State of
California was taken up, to enable MIR.
WILMoT to present his views, sketch of
which appears in the congressional col
umns. Mr.. WINTHROP obtained the floor,
when the committee rose, and the House
adjourned until Monday.

to bee whether they could be admitted testimo
ny, Captain Hunter asked permission TO submit
statement, which granted, and Captain H.
presented the following:
"To Commodore CHARLES Morris,
"Presidenf Of the Court Of Inquiry, no,o IN session
Lieutenant Hunter most respectfully requests the
Court that the three certificates presented by Com
modore Perry evidence against Lieutenant Hun

enemies Of his country when number of the Off

facts in relation 10 the capture and occupation Of
Alvarado and Tlacotalpan by that vessel, Of which
he Commodore Perry might wish to possess him
self may be placed on the record Of the proceedings
in order that Lieutenant Hunter may, by the most
unimpeachable evidence, show their flschood and
malice"
The Court was somewhat at loss to determine
what TO do with this statement; but, believing il
rather premature, laid IL aside, and went into secret
session; after some time the doors reopened,
and all parties being again present. the certificates
were declared not 10 be admissible evidence,
and directed 10 be returned 10 Commodore Perry.
Captain Hunter made some suggestion relative
TO absent witnesses, and said he did not desire 10
embarrass the Court, although he desired TO place
beyond doubt the capture and occupation Of Al
varsdo, and its dependencies, before the arrival of
the squadron. The Court thought the original ar
ticlcs Of surrender were sufficient on that point
