TERRITORIAL CoNeUEsT-The predictions made
by certain voracious Democrats, whose wish is
father to the thought" that the whole continent
must ultimately be swallowed up in the United
States, have alarmed the Spanish race and excited
jealousy and feelng but too likely to lead to the
result it breads. AT this moment the people Of the
island Of CUBA guarding their coasts, and watch
ing with argus eyes the appearance Of every sail
above the horizon, in lively anticipation Of another
invasion from American marauders, and late ad-
vices from the city of Mexico assure us that the
Mexican Congress will probably refuse to grant
any American company the right Of way at Tehuan-
tepec, fearing rehearsal of the Texas drama.
The vile spirit of aggrandzement and the thirst
for conquest of the rich territories Of Southern
neighbors, have been excited in portion of our
people by political demagogues and military ad-
venturers under the specious pretence of fighting
Serty. Not satisfied with the enjoyment of
It home, they desire to force itupon others
,oint Of the sword. It is in reality Com
!. sm on national scale, and springs from the
same school Of political economy which is SO zeal
ously represented in certain journals professedly
adverse to the acquisition Of further territory.
These Socialistic philosophers, by the nculcation
of their doctrines relative to the rights Of property,
are infusing an insidous poison into the public
mind which stimulates the violation of all laws,
human or divine.-N T. Commercial advertiser.

The nstigators to such deeds are voluntary exiles
from every kind and benevolent community. They
become seferected targets for the shafts of scorn,
and are self-branded as preferring bloodshed and
murder to submission TO the laws. Their occupa-
ton, however, is gone; the law has been vindi-
Gated; its supremacy has been established andthe
hands that would have opposed its execution were
lparalyzeds by the spontaneous rally Of the whole
city Of Boston; and noisy demagogues have been
efectually taught that when they teach open rebel
lion and violence they but annihilate themselves.

VIEWS OF Mn. CALHOUN.

In letter from Gen. JAMES HAMILTON, published
in the Charleston Mercury, explaining the reasons
for not delivering, as he had been requested, q
eulogum at Bluffon, South Carolina, upon the life
and character of Mr.. CALHOUN, we find the sub
joined statement in relation to the views Of the de-
ceased statesman concerning the separate action Of
South Carolina:
eff had addressed you, as it was anticipated,
in discussing the principles and opinions of Mr..
Calhoun, as illustrative of his public life, should
: have felt myself bound 10 communicate an impor-
tant fact that, up to the period of his death, he
never contemplated the separate and insulated ac-
tion of South Carolina, even on an exigency so
vehement and pressing in his opinion as the adj
: mission of California. He looked alone to the
Z united and cooperative action of Virginia and a
majority Of the cotton States. He neuer. for one
instant cherished The idea Of dsvoting South Ca
Z r0;nG to des0ldfi0n, or our people TO slaughter,
. that other States o tie South NIGH be drGgo0n-
sSd into our ssl5port. His whols policy wes
! founded on. friendly and pacific union Of the
South for the protection of the South. With that
: sangune temperament which belonged to his no.
bic nature, which belongs to the very constitution
of genius, he cherished this hope to the last.
!. This extinct, he did not look beyond the great
! moral lesson which the motto impressed on our
own Palmetto holds forth for the instruction of
Z her sons: .A,aimis opibusque PGrati. That these
were the opinions Of this great man, have in my
possession the most irre atable testimony, which,

PUBLIc SENTIMENT IN New YoRK.-WiLlian1
Lloyd Garrison, the President Of the " American
Anti-Slavery Society,"" has issued bulletin in
forming its members that the annual meeting Of
that Society to take place in. the ensuing month
will be held at Syracuse, New York. Heretofore,
he says, these meetings have been uniformly held
in the city Of New York, but that now "no meet
nghousc or hall in that great city can be procur-
ed either for the love Of liberty or for gold, for
. the accommodation of the Society. Neither in
g the adjacent city Of Brooklyn car any suitable
"building be. obtained for this purpose" The
peaceful and orderly people Of the great city may,
we think with reason, congratulate themselves on
this riddance.

SUPREMACY OF THE LAW SUSTAINED.

Our readers in all sections of the country will be
gratiied TO find, by the accounts published in this
days paper that Notwithstanding the violent oppo-
siton made to it by the . .higher-law ! party in
and around Boston, in the case of the fngivc Sns,
and every resort 70 legal forms well a. to insimi-
daton to defeat the execution of it the late act Of
Congress for carrying into effect the constitutional
provision for the restoration Of fugitive slaves has
been maintained by the judicial authorities-the
fugitive having been surrendered to his owner, and
without further obstruction taken away. In the
result Of this case, we are happy to find that the
opinion which we expressed some weeks ago has
been fully sustained. The issue has been fairly
made and fully tested in the headquarters Of the
most jealous enmity to the law all its opponents,
Of every shade and by whatever motive imPelled,
put in action every expedient to defeat it; but the
ministers OF the law were firm, the local police and
the great body Of the law-abiding citizens stood
ready to support them, and the result has been
only to show the violence Of the opposition, and at
the same time, its weakness. In this struggle
against the execution Of the law, we presume that
fanatica resistance to it has spent ITSELF and that
we shall hear no more of any serious attempt TO op-
pose or frustrate its quiet operation. While the
event has justified the confidence which we ex-
pressed in the loyalty of the great body OF the peo
ple Of Massachusetts and all the North to the Con-
sttuton, it must be especially gratifying to those
gentlemen who, in the Senate Of the United States
and elsewhere, expressed their disbelief that the
law would be carried out in the North.

TREASURY CIRCULAR.

We call attention to an important Circular, which
we publish to-day from the Treasury, addressed to
the Consuls and Commercial Agents Of the United
States. We are pleased to see by it that the De-
partment appears determined to use every exertion
10 check and punish, as far as practicable, the
numerous frauds which are being constantly prac-
tised upon the revenue, particularly by unprin-
cipled persons residing abroad and if the Consuls
will only do their duty and furnish the information
called for in this Circular, il will tend greatly to
check the evil complained Of particularly under the
new vigor and more complete organization which
will be introduced into the system of apprasement
under the new board Of appraisers at large, which
was created by the late act Of Congress.
II will, however, be impossible to prevent frauds,
long practised to very great extent whilst the
sent general system Of I'D valoren' duties prevails
and we sincerely hope, even if the rates are not
changed that Congress at its next session will see
the advantage and necessity Of substituting specific
for ad valorem duties and, instead Of allowing dis
honest traders to have the advantage over their
honest competitors, by swearing in their invoices at
undervaluaons the resident conscientious importer
will, under system of specific duties, be placed
on a footing of equality with the fraudulent nom
resident foreigner. Intelligent and well-informed
merchants estimate that many millions Of additional
revenue could be annually obtained if the present
rates Of duty could be levied upon the true and ac-
tual cost Of the goods, and that object could in
great measure be attained, if Congress, without
increasing the present rates, would change them
into specific duties, estimated upon the real cost OF
foreign merchandise.
