v;,;,or, At the White House.-Almost all


Visitors at the White House.-Almost all
strangers sojourning in Washington for twenty
four h,urs call to look at the reception rooms
of the Executive Mansion. We learn that in
the month Of February, lately passed, twenty.
two hundred and Fifty persons called to walk
through them. 1t is estimated by competent
persons that the number of persons who called
in that month to see the President himself
was nearly FIVE thousand; that is, exclusive
of those who attended the levees and regular
receptions As matter of course, some who
called on the President were denied IN
audience, as, had he received them all in per-
son. even in platoons of twelve, he would,
probably, have had no time to devote to the
public business.
The reception rooms at the Executive Man
sion are open to all from 9 a. IN. until p. m.
daily.
Are these things True Tho Boston Post
discussing the Nebraska bill, says that
President Jefferson declared that to regulate
the conditions of men composing q state was
certasniv the exclusive right of every state,
which nothing in the constitution has taken
from them and giving to the general govern
ment:
President Madison declared not only against
this state restriction but that territorial slave
ry restriction was not within the powers of the
general government
President Monroe declared his determination
to veto the principle of state restriction, and
that the territorial restriction was repugna ant
to the principles of the constitution:
President Adams declared it was not within
the powers of congress to impose the proposed
slavery prohibition on sovereign state:
President jackson declared that Missouri
would never humble herself to submit to such
a prohibition, and denounced it q
President Harrison declared that the north.
western states, notwithstanding the 1884 crdi.
nance, had the right to establish slavery or
prohibit it, as they pleased, and that the state
restriction proposed for Missouri was uncon.
stitutional. ~
The Black Warrior Case The Cabinet had
long and earnest session yesterday over this
subject The result of their consultation has
not yet transpircd. They met again this morn
ing to consider the same subject. We are sat-
isfed from what we learn from well-ihformed
sources, that while they are indisposed to take
advantage Of the weakness Of Spain, the Presi-
dent will take prompt and efficient measures
to vindicate the rights of the owners of the
ship and to obtain instant reparation for the
outrage pcrpetrated on them, without sub
hitting to tho delay incident to negotiation
with Spain concerning the affair.
