the suggestion because of the fact that the hour
had grown 80 late that we had almost broken in
OIL Christmas day-a day which was held sacred
by many present, who might not on that ac.
count feel disposed to prolong any further the
festive character of the occasion.
The suggestion adopted. The com

merit. 1t establishes the fearIessness with
which the Democracy of the Granite S,ate throw
down the gauntlet to the enemy. The b,ldness
Of their proposition, is indicative OF their conf

of the continuance Of the odious ties. in the

but from wish to have the fact indelibley re.

THE RNGGoLD ExPEDITIoN-We published a
few days since list of the vessels and officers
belonging to the expedition for the survey Of
to leave this port. This expedition is deserving
Of more than passing notice. and is by far the
most important affair Of the kind that has ever
been undertaken by this government. Wilkes
expedition made much more noise in the world,
cost more money in fitting out, and however
great the results they will not compare with
those practical benefits which we may promise
ourselves on the return of the one now on the
point of sailing.
This expedition has several objects in view.
one Of which is the opening of road or high
way for our clippers bound from San Francisco
to China and back. The trade through this
channel is already very great, and in few
years will be immense; and when the Pacific
Railroad shall be built this highway will be
pretty extensively travelled, as we may
imagine. From the Sandwich Islands west,
this region is almost unknown. The Ladrone
and Caroline islands and those numerous ones
lying between these groups and Japan, and
which dot the ocean far to the eastward, all
require careful surveys. Shipmasters daily
report new discoveries of unknown lands, and
the non-existence of others laid down in the
charts. In this region the navigator sometimes
comes across inhabited islands, in which the
people express as much wonder ut the sight of
a white man as did the natives when Columbus
first set his foot on the shores of the West
Indies
All this wants to be set straight and proper
charts published for the benefit Of the country.
The japanese islands require also to be newly
surveyed and If Commodore Perry should sue
coed in his object of opening trade with these
rich countries the surveyor will follow closely
in his track. Again, the seas of Ochotsk. KANT
schatka, Anadir, and the Straits of Bherng-
the great resorts of our whalemen-require
close scrutiny, and such harbors and places of
refreshment made known as may be the best
suited to the purposes of our adventurous
countrymen engaged in the whaling business.
The expedition carries out a scientific corps,
which will incidentally, without interfering
with the main objects proposed pick up much
valuable information.
by looking at the list of officers it will be
perceived that although Commodore Stockton's
reform bill did no pass the government has

THE TEHUANTEPEC QUESTION - COMMODORE
PoRTER's GRANT.-To all parties interest
ed in the Tehuantepec question. whether in
connection with the Garay grant or the Sloo
grant the documents and vouchers which we
publish to day concerning the original grant to
Commodore Porter will be very interesting.
II is known that Mexico was largely indebtedto
the services of Commodore Porter, in command
Of her navy, for the success of her war OF in
dependence against the Spanish crown. It also
known that Mexico was immensely liberal in
her promises of compensation to the gallant
commodore in land and money but we have
still to learn that either he or his heirs have
obtained as yet the first instalment, principal or
interest of these generous dotatioas. Aud fit
be that the heirs of Commodore Porter have
neither compromised. nor abandoned. nor for
feited his claim then we see no reason why
it should not take the precedence of both the
Garay and the Sloo contracts. In any event,
these papers in reference to Commodore Por-
ter's presumption rights will magnify the appa-
rent necessity for the settlement Of all these
conflicting claims to the Tehuantepec route
upon some original and comprehensive basis.
which while it shall secure to us and the world
all the required advantages of this isthmus por
tage. will also do justice to all parties concern
ed. And such treaty will be difficult piece
of work.
