Much doubt has been expressed By pa
pers in the South West. and also by men of
intelligence and experience. as to the abili-
ty of the New York Company, of which
the Hon. ROBERT J. WALKER is President,
to carry on the work. 1t is denounced BY
the New Orleans Bee as stupendous
humbug-a speculation without any founda-
tlon-the mere ''baseless fabric Of vision. u
The Bee considers it humbug because
great work like this requires immense
capital. and the main movers in this en-
terprise are men of small pecuniary re-
sources.
These denuneiations have been for some
time reiterated but we have paid but little
regard to them, knowing that they might be
elected, like sparks from conflicting hints,
by the clashing of interests
The editor of the Bonham (Texas) "Ad.
vertiser'' in late number, says that he had
just conversed with gentleman direct from

the New York Company was in that city

hundred thousand dollars-and that tht

Treaty witt, Japan.

The idea of forming Treaty with japan
and opening the ports of that nation 70 our

Administration, and while great praise is
due Commodore PERRY for the manner in
which this was accomplished, the nation
owes Mr.. FILLMORE debt of gratitude for
his statesnianlike foresight, and for tie en-
ergy with which he undertook it.
Fillibusiering was the rage at the time

sion; and it was freely said by those Of the
opposite party that this was nothing but the
commencement Of plan to seize upon ia

LESSONS of opposition TO all Fillibustering
schemes. Then came ridicule at such an
attempt, and the ominous prophecying Of
the abortion of the enterprise. and the dis.
graceful return of the squadron. In the
eyes of the opposition, it was as reckless
an undertaking as that of COLUMBUS SEEM
ed to the Spaniards when he talked about
discovering new world.
Now, see the result, ard the prospects
opened by it. Instead of being an expedi-
ton for the unjust and forcible seizure Of
Japan. it has proved itself to be mission

FAST RUN.-The steamer Baltic, which
arrived at the wharf in New York. at one
o'clock Oh Saturday morning, seems to have
made the qickest trip on record The tele-
graph does not state the precise time at
which the steamer left Liverpool but as
suming it to be o'clock p. m., on Wednes-
day, June 2S, and allowing for the differ
ence Of time between the ports, the run
must have been made in at least . days, l6
hours, and about 40 minutes. From the
fact, that the steamer brings teleeraphic
news from London. dated at noon On We'd
nesday. it is probable that the hour of start
ing was later than ! o'clock but, at any
rate, i i sufficient for all common purposes,
to know that this noble steamer has secured
another American triumph.

The Tariff.

1t is estimated tha. the new Tariff, as
agreed on by the committee of the House of
Representatives. would produce forty five
millions of dollars Revenue. This looks
like it was more than sufficient to defray
the expenses of an economical Administra-
ton. The Tariff, as it is, produces q still
greater revenue, and this induces us to
think it will not be disturbed. The Tariff
must be reduced to the standard of revenue.
but that revenue must be sufficiently large
to defray all the expenses of an economical
Government.

The New York hards held convention
son was unanimously nominated for Govern

" severe upon the administration. The
following is a specimen.

ference with our own local politics. his pal
pable and alarming invasion Of State rights.
and his unjustifable and undistinguiShed
use Of hi patronage to control our State
elections, has violated his obligation to his
party, bis allegiance TO the Constitution. and
his duty to the country. and has alienated
from his administration. mojority Of those
in this State who cast their votes for him
in 1852.
At the same time the General Democrat
ic Committee of New York. consisting of
sotts held meeting at Tammaay Hall. to
express their views az to the appointment of
MIR. Mckeon to the Office of District httor-
ney. in place Of Charles O'Connor. They
charged Mr.. Mckeon with all sorts Of DO
litical crime, and adopted the following res
olutions
Be n reSolrca That We deeply deplore
the appointment of John McKeon to the Of.
fee Of United States Attorney for the Sou
thern district Of New York. believing that
it equally outrages the connection Of the
Democratic Republican party in all its di-
visions, and i calculated to increase its ex-
listing differences and contribute seriously

NULLIrIcATIoN-The act of the Legis-
lature Of Connecticut nullifying the fugi-
tive slave law, has been followed BY de-
cision of Judge A. ID. Smith, one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court Of Wiscon-
in declaring the same law unconstitutional
and void.
We understand the main grounds on
which the opinion Of Judge Smith rests, 70
be, that the provision Of the Constitution in
relation to fueitives is in the nature Of a
compact between the States, that each State
would provide for their return. aud therefore
conferred no power upon Congress to legis-
late on the II. s. Commissioners judicial
authority not warranted BY the constitution.
