Now, Mr.. WEBSTER, and other Northern
statesmen, may be infatuated enough TO sup
pose that it is constitutional, and national, and
laudable to advocate measures that exclude
practically and inevi'9bly all the people of the
South who are at ached TO her institutions from
the occupancy of the common territory of the
Union, nd to give that territory without price
TO European power but he will impose difficult

justify that policy to the Southern people. What

give the money than the land. For then the
chances Of both sections to acquire and retar

"The Egalitaires occupy themselves with the

medicine, philosophy, mathematics, history, ply
sics, and chemistry. Their colony will embrace
not less than three thousand families in year.
After paying all expenses, they will add to the
productive circulation no less than $97 900
per year.
"The Egataires support no useless profess
sion. Their products are in common; their ex-
penses are in common; they live in common.
Their fundamental principle is equality in labor
and in income. They now desire loan of

AMERICANS DETAINED AT TEHUANTEPEc.-
The New Orleans Picayune Of May 18th, has
the following in relation to the reported deten-
ton of American citizens at Tehuantepec by the
Mexican authorities
1T appears that the passengers from Cali
fornia by the Gold Hunter, landing at Tehuan-
tepec, were Detained, to await orders from the
city of Mexico for disposing them. 1t is n
strange proceeding, and at variance not only
with the courtesy of nations but with the spe-
cific understanding had on this subject 1t will
no doubt be made the subject of demand for
explanations by our government. Such an UNI
nfriedly act cannot be overlooked"

FROM TEBUANTEPEc.-There are some later
adyices from Tehuantepec received at New Or
leans A letter from Major Barnard says that
the railroad survey is nearly completed, and all
parties would be able to leave the lsthmus by
the Goth of May. He entertains no doubt that
the railroad can be constructed at moderate
cost and says that the land included in the grant
is very valuable.
A letter from the chairman of the permanent
committee of the Tehuantepec railroad company
denies that bill to declare null the Garsy grant,
which the company have acquired, is before the
Mexican congress. The resolution which has
passed the senate is to annul decree of No.
vember 9th, 1876, by which an add tional term
of two years was allowed to the grantee in
which to commence his work. The original
grant remains untouched, and the committee
contend that the question whether the acting
president of the Mexican republic in 1876 had
the power to grant further delay for commence
ing the work, is one for judicial and not for le-
gisaive action.
He says the treaty confirmed by the United
States has not yet reached Mexico, but he has
the assurance that it will be ratified
