FROM BUENoS AYREs.

We have advices from Buenos Ayres to the 18Th
OF August. The principal feature of interest is the
treaty negotiated between France and the ArQen-
tine Republic, only now published, although it
was signed by the plenipotentiaries of each coun-
try in August, 1880. II contains the following
provisions
ls That the Argentine Republic will adhere to mmedi-
ale suspension of hoses between the Oriental forces and
Monevldeo, and these Of the country districts 3D. That

Something must be done for the Fillibusters.
The northern provinces Of Mexico are hardly worth
robbing, and, though treaty obligations sit upon
great many of our people as lightly as lovers
vows, it is not worth the cost of breaking them for
the barren territory, the miserable population, and
altogether wretched country which lies on the other
side of the Rio Grandc. Cuba is a very tempting
prize; but that flower is too ihicky surrounded hy
thorns. The Sandwich Islands are SO anxious for
annexation that there would be no opposition, and
hence no excitement in an invasion. The popula-
ton of st. Domingo does not suit the Fllibustering
enterprise, and the British lion grows from Jamaica
and Canada. What then shall the Fillibusters do!
and how shall they keep alive the spirit of liberty
and reserve the tendencies of progress? Are the
free and enlightened citizens Of the Southwest to be
cut off from all chance of a fight? Is the whole
world to settle down into state of ignominious
peace, and shall every man meanly set himself to
attending to his own business! Assuredly not !;
some outlet must be found for the rrepressib!e sp-
rit of Z" manifest destiny"
In this emergency, we think that the kingdom of
Naples affords fine opportunity. The Govern
ment is the worst, with the possible exception of
Rome, on the face of the civilized globe. There
are more wrong and injustice more oppression and
wickedness, in that Government than in any other
Of which we have any account. There can be no
doubt of the sympathy Of the people Of that coun-
try with any plan for the overthrow of the detesta
Bile and horrible rule under which they suffer. Now,
we think the Fiibusters might, with the very gen.
eral appreciation of the civilized world, and greatly
to the relief Of this country, turn their attention to
Naples. If the leaders who have urged on the Gu
ban expedition, the editors, and orators, and specu-
lators in Cuban bonds, ,oiH go ,oith them, think
the Government would find it impossible to with
stand the public sympathy in favor Of their depar-
ture. They might land on the island Of Sicily,
where few thousand Yankee muskets and West
rifles, aided by the popular feeling, would make
a stand which all the Bourbons in Naples could not
resist. Be the issue as it might, the result could
hardly fail to be fortunate one-fortunae for Ma
Piles if it succeeded and fortunate for this country
so long as the Fillibusters did not return.

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

As the day of election approaches, the canvass
in VIRGINIA wakes warm. With the exception
however, Of the widespread interest felt in the for
tunes of the Wing candidate for the Governorship,
whose high and pure reputation is national, the
public regard beyond the borders of the State is
chiefly directed to the Congressional election in
the metropolitan district Of Richmond and we
trust that we may, without offence, avow that we
share very largely the general interest felt in the
issue of the contest in that district The two candi-
dates stand deservedly high in the personal regard
of their friends, and are both worthy of the sup
port of their respective parties and of each other
but the principles and policy Of which they are the
chosen champions are widely asunder as the
veal and wo of the Republic.
Mr.. BORIS, the Whig candidate, has heretofore
served his district faithfully and is man of COM
which aforementioned quality, although it has
sometimes offended thin skinned friends, who can
brook no difference of opinion, has, confess, al
ways commanded our particular respects His sue
cess is now, moreover, identified with the cause of

THE UNION VICTORY IN GEORGIA.

Our latest intelligence from GEORGIA runs tn.
majority of the Hon. HOWELL CoBB, for Governor
up to mark exceeding sixteen thousand votes
The returns are yet to come in from eleven coun.
ties, which will increase the present majority.
This, says the Augusta Chronicle, is one of the
most overwhelming defeats ever witnessed in
Georgia. 1t is not confined to any particular sec.
tion or locality, but extends from The seaboard 10
the mountains, and from the Savannah to the Chat
tahoochie. Every where the glorious cause Of the
Union and Constitution are triumphantly sustained
by patriotic people Indeed we cannot convey
the idea of the universal condemnation OF the agi-
tators more strongly than by the mention of the
single fact that in ninety five coumies McDoNAAD
has not carried twenty-five, and those by very
small majorties.
The majorities given TO the Union candidates for
CoNGREss are equally decisive. The Macon Mes
senger informs US that the united majorities of
JACKSON and BAILEY, the Southern Rights men,
bers elected in the first and third districts, is less
than 600; whilst JOHNSON succeeds in the second
district by 1000 or l,5O0 MURPHY, in the fourth,
by over 1000; CHAsTAIN, in the fifth, by nearly
5000; HyLLIER, in the sixth, by about 1000
TooMBs, by 1000; and STEPHENS by 2,4OO votes.
The Legislature will be three-fourths Union, and
the Congressional delegation six Union men to two

THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY.

The Richmond Times aptly reproduces the
important correspondence which took place between
Mr.. MADISON and ALEXANDER HAMILTON, after the
Virginia Convention Of 1888 had ratified the Fede-
raj Constitution, and whilst the New York Con-
vention was celebrating upon it. The queries of
Hamilton and the answer of Madison make it clear,
beyond all controversy (says the Times,) that the
Union was formed with no understanding on the
part of the States that they might withdraw from it
at their pleasure, and that VIRGINIA and New YoRK
especially ratified the Constitution with distinct
understanding to the contrary.
1t is little curious to observe the change Of
terms which has come about since the time when
the Federal Constitution adopted. What was
receding from the Union then is seeding now
and from Mr.. Jeferson's Paris letter lately pub
lished it seems that compulsion was in that day
equivalent to the modern coercion. rn
