ECUADOR AND THE UNITED STATES.

ECUADOR AND THE UNITED STATES.
Translated for the North Carolina Standard" from
. the Annual Report Of the Minister of Foreign Re-
lations of Ecuador made to the National Congress
of that Republic, at its late session in Quito
-, Extract from the Ninister's Report:
"THE UNITED STATES This nation is in advance
Of all the powers Of the earth, in the eminent sue
cess that has crowned her efforts in demonstrating
to the world the phanthropie spirit and ameliorat
ing tendency of Democratic insttutions-her area
having been yastlyexpanded, and her power increas
ed by enlightened recognition Of the rights of the
masses and broad adextenson of the liberties Of
kind. She continues rapidly to progress in her high
and still must thus advance, while she proclaims and
practices those exalted principles of civil liberty that
gave triumph to the Republican cause under the i'm
mortal Washington and which have been SO
well sustained by the vaor and craftsmanship of his
successors -
The Government of that nation promptly adopted
legal measures with regard to the associations Of
"fillibusters in California for the purpose Of thwart
ing the maraudng expeditions plotting there against
nsighbornE and peaceful States The periodicals in
California and New York, and at other points, re-
vealed to the world the fact, which seems to have
been well understood there here that the noto
rious (Southl American traitor Juan Jose Flores
wasin colluson with those buckaner bands, to whom
he had pledged cession of the Eastern Province of
EcuadOr This fresh scheme of his, SO worthy of
the plratcal nStlnctS OF flOreS, WOuQ, as was It's
demoniac purpose, have plunged anew into the
horrors of invasion and of war! But from the i'm
pending calamities, Ecuador was happy in finding
herself relieved by the vigilance and energy with
which the North American Government proceeded
against the leaders of those criminal enterprises,
whose meditated schemes of rapne and plunder were
thus frustrated ere their consumma,ion.
The Government of Washington is represented in
Ecuador by Mr.. PuILo WHITE, one of its distinguish
ed ctizens-who at first accredited here in the
capacity of Charge dAfaires but afterwards deser-
vedly promoted by his Government to the rank of
Minister Resident. And in this new character he
officially acknowledged with the ceremonies due
to his advanced position, on the End inst, (Sept)
On the delivery OF his credenta letter into the hands
of His Excecncy the President of the Republic,
=. Mr.. White took occasion TO express in the
Of His Excellency the President Of the United
States the fraternal sentiments with which the hand
of political fellowship is extended to Ecuador, o
Sister Republic of the Great American Constclla-
ton.
Such are the terms of amity in which relations
maintained with that powerful nation Of the
New World"

the removal of Judge Loring from our Law Profes-

Burns slave-case. This fanatcal piece Of proscrip-
ton was mainly accomplished by means Of the

If any Southerner will but observe how completely
this new party in New England is aMalgamated with
every 'isnl that threatens disgrace and ruin to

JUDGE LoRISG AND THE DANE LAW SCHooL.-At
meeting OF tire ur.ssnbty OF the Darv Law School
at Cambridge on Friday evening, March 23 tirv Gel
lowing preamble and resolutions, introduced by \
gentleman from Massachusetts,, were adopted by a
very large majority:
Whereas, The corporation of Harvard University
appointed the Hon. Ed @arl G. Loring lecturer in
the Dane Law School, and the oversccrs have arbi-
tray refused to confirm the same, therefore be it
Resotred, By us, members Of the Dane Law
School, in assembly convened, that fully concur
in the opinnon Of the corporation by their elcc-
ton expressed, that the personal worth, intellectual
and legal abilities and requirements of Mr.. Lorng
eminenty qualify him for the Office Of lecturer
Resolred, That Mr.. Lorings system ofinstructon-
comprising clear analysis of common law princ
pies, and an exposition Of their reasons and appl
| cations, enriched by copous illustrations from the
civil law-was calculated to q rare degree, to afforo
knowledge of the topics discussed, at once broad
and minute and we deeply regret his removal q:
bringing loss to ourselves and the science oflaw.
Resolced, That we regard the rejection Of Mr.
Lorng as tending to restrain the freedom of judica
opinion, and sanctioned neither by justice nor by
soise policy. -.
This action of the school-the parties most inter
ested in Mr.. Loring's rem6val-will more than com
pensate him for the insult conveyed in his rejection
by the board Of overscers.

present is full thirty days later than usual in
our climate. Martins not only of ssrvice in pro
tecting the barn yards but they destroy millions of
insects during the growing season that are injurious
to grain &c., and that frequently destroy the diff
ferent kinds of valuable fruit. Small boxes should
be kept for them on all we'll regulated farms.

the delegates appointed will, we sure carry with
them to the Convention and act out the sentiments
and objects set forth on the occasion. -. ...5
Mr.. Horace P. Tucker, formerly Whig, came for
ward in the meeting, took his stand against the
secret association, and announced that he should
hereafter act with the Democratic party. Mr.. Tuck
er was Henry Clay Whig-he belonged to that
party when, under its great leader it met and dis
cussed public questions in the open day and in the
eye Of light; but, with other manly and patriotic
Wings in this State and Virginia, he refuses to CO.
operate with this substitute for Whiggery, whose
members shun the light and propose to govern the
country in secret and by plans laid in the still hours
of the night He deserves credit for his course and
trust that others, who think and feel as he does,
will follow his example.
