SLAVERY ExTENs.oN.

The New Y ork Tribune has private intclli-
gence from San Francisco that the Walker ex-
pedition to Lower California was set on ,ot for
the purpose Of introducing Slavery into that
country, and that it was winked at by the pub
lie anthogitier, and especially regarded with
favor by the United States District Attorney Of
California. The reiniorcements which were
sent from San Francisco, to join Walkers ex-
petition, amounting to over 200 men, were al
lowed 20 depart without the slightest opposi-
ton from the authorities The master Of the
vessel that carried them (the Anita) was the
master, a few day before, OF the Arrow which
craft was known to have been engaged for the
same purpose. Complaints were, however,
made against the Arrow, but they were sum
mariiy dismissed, mainly through the instru-
mentality, as the Tribune il informed, Of the
District Attorney The Arrow, having suspi-
clon thus excited against her. could not be
further used for the expeditions, but her master
was transferred to another vessel, and that
craft got off with the filibnsters.
The Tribune adds;
eve are not to consider the failure Of the
Walker expedition rs By any means putting an
end to the designs upon Lower California and
Sonora by the Pacific filibusters, or even as
damrening their ardor. The facility with
which the late reinforcement of Lieut. Wat
kins got away from San Francisco, and the
triumphant dash with which they defantly set
sail upon their piratical cruise, will embolden
all freebooters who are similarly disposed in
the future, 80 long as the Government, through
its prosecuting officers, culpably connive at
such scandalous proceedings. Ii a suggestion
Of an expedition from this city, TO give one sin
gle Maryland or Virginia negro his Freedom
were to be Thrown out the Federal authorities
would be all eyes and ears at the infamous
project and guards would be set at every point
from whence it could DO suspected Of depart
ing. But no watchfulness is seen and no re-
Dukes are heard from these same authorities
when the project is not to liberate q single
human being, but to lay the foundation and
spread tho nets Tor enslaving thousands, and
robbing our neighbors of the territory on
which TO plant them"
