Inc Naso.al inteagsncsr OF yesterday In brief edi-
oral account OF the proceedings OF Congress has the
following paragraph;
ia the course of the day several document,
We're communicated by the President OF tho United States
one Of which letter from Mr. Wab.,rs by which il
appears mat no treaty oxss between England and France
suaranying Cuba 10 Spain aud that therefore wha has
deem oiten said by democratic contemporary in this
city, tat this guarantee involved the abolition of slavery in
ouoa' Is wholly imaginary, and without foundation"
As we have before shown, all that we have written
upon the subject OF the alleged treaty has been based
upon the statements, until uncontradicted which
have appeared IN relation to the subject in the column,
OF the two wing organs OF this city, and which have
been cooboraed by the private advces of other leading
wing journals, and by unofficial publications like The let
Ter OF Mr. March, apparently sanctioned by The admins
tTalion itself
Upon evidence OF this character we have expressed
The conviction that some such treaty Of guarantee if not
already concluded, has at least been q, contemplation
and have inferred tina, the administration could hardly be
wholly ignorant that such the case We are glad TO
hear from the Department of State that no such treaty is
now in existence; and should be still more gra,i6ed
TO hear from that quarter further statement TO the effect
that our government knows of facts authorizing the
apprehension that any such measure on foot or under
consideration

Our paper this morning contains very nteres sting lei
Ter from our old friend. General CALL which appears
have been suggested BY his visit TO the equestrian
OF General Jackson, completion. by the accom-.
pshed artist Mr Mills. No one is more competent 10
Judge OF the merits OF this work than General Call who
long the aid decamp and intimate companion OF the
great warrior and statesman whose likeness IT is intended
to pepetuaie and are, therefore, gralied TO find
opinion from such alleng to the character
OF the work, and much IN accord with the patriotic
and chivalrous sentiment which is associated with the
name OF the hero OF New Orleans and the IRON nerve
statesman who filled the OF his counry's glory
But just deem the observations OF General Call
far they relate TO the statue in question, and the enhu
sastc thoughts inspired by its contemplation, we are
constrained to express regret that they connected
with party views which not suited 10 the OCCASION
and are contrary to those which entertained by the
great body OF the people With what justice can il be
pretended that the democratic party is not
in the lifetime Of Jackson the party Of the Constitution
and the Union
# acquiescence in the Compromise be taken the test
Of party orthodoxy in this respect, the elections
contain the most satisfactory evidence that democracy is
as has been to the calls of patriotism
So far as the Compromise is concerned in its oginaon
passage, execution, and future maintenance, meas
ure insepaable from the ascendency OF the democratic
party.
II is surprising that politician Of Gen. Calls inle-
gence and experience should suffer himself to be deceived
by the manGuvres of the wing party the subject Of
the Compromise The democratic party maintained its
name in the contest Of $780, throughout the war with
Great Britain and during the tariff bank, and nulfca-
ton crises under the administration Of Gen. Jackson
Within these periods the party opposed to the democratic
party has often changed its name, but it has
ceeded in satisfying the people that it had changed its
principles.
We can imagine that President Fillmore and Mr.
Webster should be embarrassed in finding that the party
which brought them into power had abandoned them the
momen, that they devoted hemselyes,o which
is in harmony with the democratic creed and policy; but
we cannot imagine how any real friend of the democrat
party should be thereby disturbed, much less induced
to disown his party name, and form party, for the
purpose Of accommodating those whom the wings have
deserted

&. ii. DONALDSON, Esq
Dear Sir Your letter addressed
to me at 49S Broadway, New York,
bearing date June 10th, has just been
received. The delay has been caused
from the fact that | am now spending
the summer at my country seat near
Newport, where my letters are usually
addressed at this season of the year.
ought, however, TO say that | now
consider this State as my permanent
residence, having been elected to the
office Of Lieut.. Governor at tie elec-
tion in April last. You ask my opin.
ion as a citizen Of New York, upon
certain matters Of interest to the DEM
ocratic party. Would IT be intrusive
for me to give my opinion as a citizen
Of Rhode Isand-the State OF my
sdoption-wh where ! have passed many
hours of pleasure aud gaiety, during
the fashionable season, (nominaIly at
Ieast) during the term of my official
life, and perhaps longer, should a po-
litieal opening be presented. You are
probably aware that Gov Allen of this
State is now absent IN Europe, and,
consequently, by the terms OF the Con-
s,itution OF Rhode Island, (as am in
fcrmed) ,he arduous and responsible
