The Senate have at last passed the
bills granting alternate sections Of the
public lands to aid in the construction
of railroads. Nearly all the States
having public lands within their limits
are included in the bills.
Coy. Jones, of Tennessee, madc his
debut in the Senate today, on the
doctrine of intervention. He opposed
it with much energy, and in the course
of his speech animadverted, in terms
OF unusual severity, on the equivocating
policy Of General Cass.
The House has spent most of this
week in discussing the Presidential
election, and in defining the positions
OF parties in the South. Mr.. Hyllier,
Of Georgia, spoke on Wedncsday-ap-
proved tho Union organization in
Georgia, but disagreed with Mr..
Stephens as to the propriety of going
into the Baltimore Convention. Ho
was of opinion that the Union party
should send delegates or ambassadors
to that meeting. Col. Jackson, of that
State, defended the State Rights men
and Governor Mcdonald. Mr.. Ap-
plcton, of Maine, yesterday made
q speech in favor of Buchanan; Mr..
Gcddings ranting free soil anti-fugi-
tive slave law speech. Ho says that
they intend agi,ating until they effect
hs repeal. Townsend, Of Ohio, followed

Gcnl. Cass has explained ut length
his Nicholson letter, and vindicatcd i,
from the structures of Coll Jefferson
Davis, who, in a letter recently
published, puts upon tho Nicholsor
letter n construction which Gcnl. Cass
docs not assent to. When the Mich
olson letter appeared Mr.. Calhoun and
and Mr.. Rhctt took widely different
views of it. Mr.. Calhoun put a
construction upon it of character un.
favorable to the South. Mr.. Rhctt, as
| have understood, took another view
ofthc meaning of the letter, and it is
evident that South-C Carolina had also,
for she gave her vote to General Cass.
The Nicholson letter is capable OF
two constructions, but it is now quite
certain that Gen. Cass is to be un-
dcrstood as taking such ground us will
be approved by the South.
Gen. Cass is now the leading can
didatc Of the democratic party, as
every one here admits.
lie will undoubtedly have ma
jority on the first ballot; but it is not
question whether the two-thirds
rule is to be adopted or not, for it was
adopted as permanent rule at the
last Baltimore Convention, and must
be rcScinded, if not applied. Thus,
Gen. Cass may be thrown out of
the lists.
The public will be glad to learn that,
after long hesitation and delay, Con
grcss have finally passed Il bill rem
dcring the bounty land warrants as
siynablc.
The Government of Mexico has
rendered to this Government a project
of Il treaty i'll regard to the right of

The terms are different from those of
the unratitied treaty.

concluded between the British Minister
and this Government in relation to the
interests of the parties in Central A

The speech of Gov. Jones against
intervention has taken remarkable well
and his assault upon Gen. Cass is not
regarded rs ut all misplaced. The
old General had to explain, and nom
his non-intervcntion is the most harm.
less and inoffensivc thing in all nature.
He read speech on Friday as com.
mentary upon the late letter of Jeficr-
son Davis. He thanked Davis for
saying that he did not deceive the
South in his Nicholson letter. You know
Davis was one Of the few Southern
men who rcpudiatcd the Nicholson let
ter when first published, and the con-
strnction subsequently placed upon that
letter by the partisans of Gen. Cass in
the South is a striking illustration of
the danger of supporting an obiectiona-
bio man. They first disowned tho
principle, next apologized for it, and
lastly perversed and advocated it. He
rciterates his doctrine of "souatter
sovereignty" He intimates in the
speech that no man Of common capaci-
ty could ever have construed his letter
to mean anything else than squatter
sovereignty, rs it has been sneeringly
dubbed.
The House was engaged on the pri.
vate calendar, on Friday, on the claim
ofGcn. Watson; and to-day they had
speeches from Johnson, of Arkansas
and Brooks, ofNew York. The latte,
gentleman made an elaborate defence
OF tho present administration, and
charged that the heavy expenses incur
red had been dcvolved upon this by
the preceding administrations, and
growing out OF the Mexican war. This
speech, in connection with late one
by Mr.. Marshall, of Kentucky, Go
Whig,) in defence of Mr.. Fillmore. in,
dlcates very clearly that n powerful

where. The interests of all parties,
producers, and manufacturers and
consumers, will be best served by
moderate and regular prices-say, a.
bout ten cents per pound. At that
price, two-thirds of his crop will
put more, money into the planters
pocket than weuld the whole crop
sold at six cents.
have said that the difficulty Of
obtaining concert of action among
planters, SO widely separated from
each other, is great; but my confidence
in its practicability is based upon their
obvious interest, and their good
common sense. Although less expert
at figures than the spectators in their
staple, the least informed among
them can see that ten bales of cotton,
sold Mt ten cents, will yield more
money than fifteen bales, sold ut
six cents. And, aided by past cx-
pcricnco Of the evils resulting rom
want of organization, it demands no
extraordinary faith in their good sense
to believe that concert may be OBJ
taincd.
The only objection ever made to
this plan is, ''tllat tho planters will not
act in good faith, but will secretly sell
more than their portion of the crops"
Now, without claiming for cotton
planters higher character for honor
and integrity, | may say that they
possess as much of those qualities ms
any other class Of our population. And
although some may and will act bascly,
the number will be small, and their
untaithfulness will but little affect the
result. may say the same ofanothcr
small class found in every community
-Solomons, III their own conccit, who
make it point of honor never to
think or act like their neighbors; and
who will, perhaps, refuse to enter into
the agreement. But if the plan sug-
gestcd be tried, breaches Of faith will
be fewer and fewer every year; and
where a sense of honor will not
restrain, fear of exposure and shame
will. Without some general concert
of action, no plan can succeed; and that
now proposed presents rs few obstacles
as any other. 1t proposes no advance
of moncy-no risk of loss-and
no change in the pursuits ofthc plant
er. If adopted, it must do good.
1t can do no harm. You have. in the
preceding, my plan for regulating
the price Of cotton.

WASHINGTON. MARCH 10.

Governor Jones, of Tennessee, de-
livercd his first speech in the Senate,
to-day, and drew considerable mum.
ber OF auditors to the chamber. His
subject was the resolutions against in
tcrvention, offered by Mr.. Clarke.
Gov. Jones has had q high reputation
us an orator in the West, and he was,
therefore, we'll attended to, though
little interest is felt in the subject.
Kossuth may speak and NJ. Pulskey
write, but tho people are farther from
Intervention in foreign affairs than they
were, even, in the time of Washington.
Mr.. Jones delivered the same
views. on the subject, which Mr.. Clay
cntertains, and has expressed. The
resolutions offered by Mr.. Clarke,
were shown to and approved by Mr..
Clay before they were offered. The
Senate will soon drop u discussion
which is no longer of practical
character.
The House is engaged, nominally,
III discussion of the deficiency bill,
but the speeches made are upon tho
subject Of party politics.
There are two hundred bills already
before the Senate, and as many ON the
calendar of tho House, and many more
are to be added.
The loss of Mr.. Clay's medal can
be easily repaired, because the die is
in existence. A duplicate Of the med
al can be struck for the mere cost O.

medal is in the dic-which is cut will

apathy which characterized the late
French election is subject of serious
annoyance to Louis NAPOLEON. In
Paris, out Of three hundred and thi,tv-
three thousand voters, one hundred
thousand abstaincd from the polls.-
In many Of the rural districts the same
indifference as to the elections has
been manifested, though not to so
great al extent. The return of Ca
vaignac, and the heavy vote pollcd for
Carnot, have also irritated the Prcsi-
dent, though one of his creature editors
has declared that such Indications of
the revolutionary spirit call for contin-
ued repression. On the whole, the
state Of France may be considered cx-
tremely unsettled. The sullen apathy
of SO large minority of the people is
the most fatal incident that has vet
attended Louis Napolcm's rule. The
sign is ominous in another respect

Next President.

Newspaper editors have been in
dulging in spcculations in regard to
the next presidential election; express
ing opinions of, and concerning the
chances of these who have been spoken
of as likely to take part in the race.
Hence, some have proposed the policy
of non-intervcntion to this State, advi-
sing us to stand aloof from this political
scramble for place and power. They
propose to take no part in the election
of one Of the highest officers known to
the Constitution, for the reason that in
the discharge of the duties devolving
upon him he is the executive of gov
crnmcnt, destructive of the rights of
the South, and opposed to her best in
tcrcst. We believe the party test in
the canvass will be the finality of the
compromise other words-no one
can receive the support Of either Wings
or Democrats as II party, who does not
believe the compromise measure ought
to he permanent arrangement of the
great question between the North
and the South. Now it is unqucs-
tionably true, that no man hold
ing such opinions can receive the sup
port of South Carolina,ns her deliberate
choice, yet there may be chain of
evils; We might prefer WEBSTER to
HousToN, or DOUGLAS to CAss, or
BucnANNAN to either of them. We
have seen speech OF Mr.. SMITH, of
Alabama, in which he desires Mr.. CAss
to retire from the contest. five were
to give advice it would be about the
same as that advanced by Mr. SMITH.
We think it is the duty of this State
TO cast her vote i'll the coming election,
because VIC are yet one of the States
which make up this Government, we
are yet in the Union and whilst VIC com
plain that the Federal Government has
utterly failed in performing its duties
to the separate States, We should be
careful lest the imputation should be
successfully made against us-tl,at we
arc wanting in performing our duties
towards the general Government. We
do not think it prudent or necessary to
express al opinion in regard to any
of the names yet brought forward as
candidates. The parties will make
nominations, and it will be all that we
can do, to choose between those whose
names have been brought before the
people. According to present indica
tons. BrcnASAN or DouGLAs will be the
nominee of the Democratic party.
We will await the development which
time and trickcry may make.

GoLp AGAIS.-Wc mentioned in

the 10Th inst, that the mine so sue
ccsstnlly worked by Mr.. Dorm, was in
Edycficld, since then we lI.vc seen Mr..
Dorm himself, who informs us the mine
is in this district, and that in ten
weeks I've HIS realized the sum of
ten thousand dollars and upwards from
his operation with eight hands. The
work of two days alone yielded him
something over three thousand dollars.
independent of the gold, there is ut
this mine incxhaustiblc quantities of
maganise, which commands ready
sale, in the Northern markets, and of
itself would be fortune.
Gold has been discovered in various
portions of our District; and we have
no doubt when cotton ceases to occupy
30 much of the attention ofour farmers.
mines will be found within our borders
which will bless with their golden
treasures the lucky owners.
