The Tehunntepcc Affair.

The conturnacy of the Mexican government, and
its persistence in its aithless conduct towards those
American citizens who hold the Garay grant, have
arrived at point which threatens serious mis-
understanding between the two Governments We
understand that the Tehuantepec Company's
steamer United States, Capt. Hickng, which left
yesterday for Minatian, compelled to take
her departure for her destination without clear
from the Mexican consul. The grounds of
the refusal to clear the vessel that Mnatlan is
not port of entry and moreover that the consul
had special orders from his government to refuse
clearance to any American vessel destined for the
Isthmus. We cannot say that we surprised at
this act OF the Mexican government, because its
course, during the last few months, has been such
as to warrant us in repressng astonishment at
almost any thing it might do, however monstrous
or contrary to the rules OF good faith and Justice
When the company was informed Of the refusal
of the consul to clear the vessel, formal protest
Immediately entered, setting forth the facts of
the application and refusal OF the consul, and
stating the reasons which influenced the company
in determining to continue in its undertaking.
brief summary of these reasons ia, first, that the
company is acting in manner perfectly con-
sisten with its rghts second that the United States
has been sent down for Major Barnard, who is need
ed here to draw up the plans and reports, which it
is the desire OF the company to publish at as carly
day possible; third, that the company
not subject itself to long delay by suffering the
steamer first to enter the port of Vera Cruz there
20 solicit permission to proceed to the sthmus thus
humoring Mexican susceptibilities and waving its
unquestonablc rights, since, when this course was
III tne case Oh the SCHOONER ccaTB, III
hope that to yield to the demand with good grace
would produce beneficial effect, the vessel de-
tanned in the port of Vera Cruz over three weeks,
at which time it pleased the Mexican officials to
give the required permission and fourth, that the
port of Minattlan has American consul, who
has received bis erequatur from the Mexican gov
ernment, and therefore the port of Mnatitlan must
be considered open for American vessels
The protest was legaliSed by certificate from
the Mexican consul, and with it the United States
took her departure from this port. 1t now remains
to be what the issue Of this affair will be.
The company certainly has justice its side. and
go far it has acted with moderation, frmness, and
dignity, in spite of the obstacles which have been
thrown in its way by the Mexican government.
Should it now submit to the unjust efforts of Mex
leo to deprive it of its rights, it would be wanting
in frmncss and, at the same time, manifest cul-
pable carelessness for the interests of this section
and in fact of the whole country We are Satisfied
that our Government, fully impressed as it must
be with the vital importance of the subject will do
every thing in its power to see that justice may be
done.

ExEcUTIvE PARDoNs.-By recent unofficial
visit to the State prison at Charlestown some
rious facts were elected, which calculated to
have an important bearing the anti capital pun
ishment question. Mr. Curtis, the aged chaplain,
states that the longest time any person has re-
was between twelve and thirteen years, except one
individual sentenced for life in 1925, and pardoned
out in 1898. The officers stated remarkable
case, 'that young man had serued out a sentence
of ten years" The presumption that he had
no friends to agitate for his pardon In twenty
years there have been forty life sentences, ten of
which were convictions for murders, the
tences having been coInmutcd from death to i'm
prisonment. Of these Last named twenty remain
in prison some have died, but the majority hare
been pardoned o,it-some after an imprisonment Of
twelve years, others five or six, and some even Of
ter but years incarceration. The present
year there have been eight pardons-one of an in
dividual sentenced for life -Ne,Dburgport Union.

VlrgInia Convontion.

We are gratifed to observe that this body
seems TO be approaching an harmonious termi-
nation Of its labors. The debate is limited;
the Whole has risen; and we believe that the
action of the convention is final upon all sub
jects under consideration.
We trust that the decision Of the convention
may prove satisfactory to the people Of Virginia,
and the exciting subjects of sectional strife
may be forever removed.
The session Of the Convention of Virginia
has been not without analogy to that Of the
first session Of the late Congress, both in the
length of It's session and the most important
subject Of its deliberation.
An ancient and unsettled question of sectional
power has divided the convention. Eastern
Virginia paid more taxes than Western Virgil
MIA. 1t was therefore deemed proper that East
ern Virginia should control the appropriation OF
her own money.
Western Virginia had larger free white
population than Eastern Virginia; it was con
tended that the rights of property ought not to
control the rights Of the people
After months of disputation upon these rela-
tive sectional rights, the convention, like Con-
gress, adopted compromise. Under this agree
ment the contrql,of the House Of Delegates was
given to the West, and the control of the Sen
ate to the East This was productive Of much
dissatisfaction in the East, as the same compro
mise provided for future submission Of the
questioned representation to the popular vote
This was considered equivalent TO the establish
ment Of the basis of numbers as the future rule o
sectional power.
The compromise was, however, understood
to depend for its final acceptance upon certain
guarantees which were to protect the Eas
pgainst unequal or excessive taxation. Thes'

intervention" with the Stars.

Our neighbor of the Union having copied a
statement that Sirius, hitherto known as fixed
star of very regular habits, has been recently
detected in certain extraordinary eccentricities
of movement, is charged with having been inn
posed on. This the Union denies, affirming
that it never believed word about the alleged
irregularities of this respectable planet. The
reasons for which, it says, were ''given by us
and repeated by the Republic" Having no
desire to be drawn into this celestial controver-
sy, we must say that we did not republsh the
astronomical essay referred to, being too much
occupied in noticing the alterations of the Union
ITSELF
We should apprehend, from this quotation of
the Union
"The dog star
Rnges, and all Bedlam is let out''
that Mr.. PoPE has, with Sirius, been under
going similar "eccentricities of movement"

FROM TExAs.-The Washington Star has come
out in support of Captain Lewis for Congress, and
the opposition to Colonel Howard appears to be
centrating upon the captain. The CiuiIian says
that General McLeod's prospects appear to be wan
ing, and he is said to have sustained considerable
damage from his collision with Colonel Howard at
Huntsville on the Oath ult Mr.. Potter is also in
the field for Congress in the Western district Cap
tain Lewis has made speech at Galveston.
The Austin Gazette of the 2Sth ult. learns, by a
letter received that morning from the Rio Grande,
that there had been entire failure of the crop in
that valley. There would scarcely be gathered as
much as was planted, and great distress-especial-
ly yamong the Mexican population--was antcipatcd.

IPREsIDENT FILLMoRE'E MESSAGE.
.sThe Presidents message, at the opening of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
sislration of the Government, in regard to what
'are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinionis, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a fnalsettlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
neutrality-suspicious. and connexion, they formed
"a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
'hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion, sc
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
q will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace ofthe country requires this; the security o.
the Constitution requires this; and everyconside-
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
