When the forces of whiggey led by their great cap
fains Clay and Webster, the democrats had enemy
worthy of their seemen of galantry contend against
whom it was honor overcome, and no disgrace to be
beaten by them Then carried warfare of princi-
ple-measure arrayed against measure; usy blows

hard-fought battle and wecontesed field the wings

SLAVERY EXIENsIOY.

We have private intelligence from San Francisco that
the Walker expedition TO Lower California which, it
would appear, has come to untimey end, was set
foot for the purpose of introducing Slavery into that
country and that ii was winked at by the public au-
thorites and especially regarded with favor by the
United States District Attorney of California. The
Slavery propsgandiss not only active this side
Of the continent but are ndustrousy striving to sten
the curse of African seryitude upon Pacific posses
sions The most vgilant surveillance over the ibus-
tiers will alone prevent the success of their nearious
designs. The reeniorcements which were sent from
San Francisco to join Walkers expedition, amounting
to over 200 men, allowed to depart without the
slightest opposition from the authorities there. The
master Of the vessel that carried them the Anita) was
the master few days before of the Arrow which craft
was known to have been engaged for the purpose
Complaints were, however, made against the Arrow,
but they were summariy dismissed mainly through
the ipstrumentsty, as we informed of Inge, the
District Attorney The Arrow having suspicion thus
excited against her, could not be further used for the
expedition but her master was transferred to another
vessel, and that craft got of with the illibusters
The whole transaction shows that the authorities of
the National Government at San Francisco do not in

bsrkatiOn of any expedition which threatens to do
nothing worse than invade Mexico, and establish
Slavery on the Pacific coast In behalf Of the patr-
archel institution, the Government lie everywhere
prompt and vgant, but it has 10 restraints to impose
upon the lawess propagandism which is dictated By its
aggressive spirit
II, by chance, il has happened that Walker has
escaped his deserts and that this last fillibstering
have been able to join him. the nucleus of force
sufficient to resist the Mexican authorities in Lower
California is already formed, and the consequences
may prove to be Of the most formidable character A
force TO be capable of sustaining itself against the
local authorities, would be swollen from an quar-
tiers into an army great conquered Texas and we
might soon witness reenactnent of the Texas drama
