CENTRAL AMERICA.

The disclosures of Goicuria have given &C.
casion to comments by portion of the Bu-
chanan press of the South, not at all favorable
to Walker. His project of a military despotism
and his opposition to annexation are deemed
offensive. We put little faith either in him or
his apparent censors. Walker knows what he
is about. General Houston, when the United
States hesitated at the annexation of Texas,
made overtures to England, and seemed to
prefer state of entire independence. He ex-
planned all this afterwards by saying that he
was coquetting with England, so as to stimulate
our ardor. Walker had certain objects to &C.
complish, which could be promoted by seeming
repugnance to the Democracy of the North
but to suppose that he, Mr.. Soule, and the men
in this country with whom they are acting in
concert, intend anything else than ultimate an.
nexation, either to the Union or the Southern
Confederacy, so often talked of in Southern
politics, is nonsensical.
AS for the counsels of the Richmond En-
quirer, we understand its policy just now. The
Northern Democracy must be conciliated and
the Party strengthened, so that the Slavery
men may derive from Mr.. Buchanan's Admin
istration all the advantages they have worked
so hard to secure.

CALIFORNIA-TEE ELECTION.

We have dates from San Francisco to the
9TH. The indications were that the State had
gone for Buchanan. The Republican legisla-
tive ticket he'd prevailed in San Francisco
county, although the Buchanan electoral ticket
seemed to have 100 majority. The vote is less
than last year, fraud being this time efrectually
prevented. Fourteen counties in the State
give for Buchanan 1896, Fremont 7,l44
Fillmore 1874. Vote of San Francisco, SC
far as heard from-Fremont 3,G32 Buchanan
1860, Fillmore 1855.
A pitched battle between the two factions Of
the Chinese, numbering several thousands, was
to have taken place at Mound Spring, on the
18th October, but, after few skirmishes, at

stopped proceedings, and made two hundred
and fifty arrests.
On the 29th of August, large number OF

DEMOCRACY IN WASHINGTON.

The Buchanan Party in Washington and
Georgetown, in which must be ranked many
citizens formerly prominent members of the
Wing Party, celebrated his election by pro-
cession in this city last Thursday, characterized
by the usual accompaniment of such spec
tacles. The Union, Star, and Iatetiigencer,
chronicle the proceedings and depict the
shows FOR the benefit of the "distant public, -
but one little item they carefully omit--a BAN
ner borne aiof In the procession, on the folds
of which were inscribed, "SUMNER AND
KANSAS-LET THEM BLEED!" This
fendish motto was paraded in sunlight, in honor
of the election of James Buchanan, our nation.
al, moderate, and conservative President elect
paraded through the streets of Washington city
the capital city of the nation, where, as on com
mon ground, meet the representatives of all the
States OF all sections of the Union. 1t was q
shameless endorsement of the murderous as
sault on the Senator of Sovereign State, il
contempt Of State Sovereignty, the privileges o
the Senate, and the rights of Free Discussion

RACES. 1t Wac az. ,cdorsement of the conques
of Kansas by fraud and violence-to the domi
nation Of Slavery, and of all the infamous out
RACES Of Border Ruilianism. 1t was a symbo
OF insult and defiance to sixteen States Of til
Union, containing two-thirds of the whole whit
population.
Hitherto, the People of Washington hav
discountenanced extremes of party violence
and labored to preserve an attitude of moders
ton. Party spectacles, conforming to Publ
Sentiment, have been managed with som
reference to the peculiar feelings of all sections
This is the first time that the city has bee
placed under the lead Of South Carolina an
Disunionism. We know enough of some
the marshals of the procession to believe, th;
had their attention been called to the thing,
would have been suppressed by them at once

AFFAIRS IN KANSAS.

The letter of our regular correspondent from
the Lecompton prison, continues to record the
indignities to which the prisoners are subjected.
Governor Geary, it seems, has fallen into
discreeit with the ultra Pro-Slavery men, for
having ordered the re-arrest of Hayes. DON
aldson has signifed his purpose to resign.
Judge Lecompte, according to one telegraphic
despatch, issued process against the Governor
for contempt of Court. A correspondent of
the New York Times gives currency to rumor
that Geary was backing out and had released
Hayes; but Geographic despatch of later
date, November 29th, announces that Judge
Cato had refused to grant habeas corpus in
the case of Hayes-from which it may be in
ferred he is still in confinement. The String
fellow party were greatly incensed, as, in their
judgment, the laws were made to be enforced
against Free State men alone.
The controversy between the Governor and
Judiciary, it is said, has been referred to the
Executive at Washington. We shall soon see
whether the Governor is to be sustained in his
effort to do equal and exact justice, or whether
he is to be mere tool in the hands of the
Border Rufians.
The great sale of the Delaware lands went
off without disturbance. Some two or three
thousand persons were present, and the CORES
pendent of the St. Louis Republican reports,
in rather exaggerated terms, that three mil.
lions of specie were on the ground" The
sqaatters, of all parties, had united for the
time against the spectators, so that there was
no bidding over their heads. The land gen.
orally was sold for about $3.50 per acre. The
spectators having been deferred from COM
peting with the squatters, offered them, in
some cases, after the sales, advanced prices on

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents Message, as usual, is largely
devoted to the question Of Slavery. More than
one half Of it is taken up with an Arrangement
of the North, and 2 justification of the South,
on all points at issue. We have not time or
space for the exposure of its glaring misrepre.
sensations and sophistries. He but repeats
what has been again and again triumphautly
refuted. One practical point we note: he ad-
vises the abrogation by the Legislature of Kan
sas or by Congress OF SO much of the Kansas
code as is repugnant TO the Constitution
The foreign relations of The Nation are rep
resented as highly satisfactory.

A GENEROUS SUGGESTION.

The Lawrence Herald Of Freedom, speaking
of the appropriation of the Vermont Legisla-
ture, to help the necessitous citizens of that
State in Kansas, says, such appropriation
ought not to be SO limited, but to be divided
among the needy generally. "There are as
true Free State men as God ever permitted to
breathe, who hail from Missouri and other
Southern States. Divide with them"

HARD TO CHoosE-I must give you one more
funlet, concerning little "four-year-old" friend
of mine. 1t seems that clergyman had been
stopping fer some time at his fathers house,
and on going away, called little Eddy to him,
and asked what he should give him for pres
ent. EDDY, who had been brought up in the
fear of God, and had great respect for the
"cloth," thought it was his duty to suggest
something of religious nature; so he answered,
hesitatingly: "I-I-I-hink should like
Testament, but I KNOW / should like gun! :"

about mile and half from the town, for the
sum of $1,000.
The result of the Presidential election had

have resolved to abide in the Territory, and

REPRESENTATIVES, lrou Tue northern STATES, VINO,
regardless of the statute line, insisted upGa ap-
plying restriction to the new territory generally,
whether lying north or south of it, thereby re-
pealing it as legislative compromise, ar j, on
the part of the North, persistently violating the
compact, if compact there was.
Thereupon, this enactment ceased to have
binding virtue in any sense, whether as respects
the North or the South; and so in effect & was
treated on the occasion of the admission. f the
State of California, and the organization e the
Territories of New Mexico, Utah, and fash.
ington.
Such was the state of this question, whe the
time arrived for the organization of the 'erri.
tories of Kansas and Nebraska. In the orog.
ress of constitutional inquiry and reflect On, il
had now at length come to be seen clearl that
Congress does not possess constitutional over
to impose restrictions of this character, upon
any present or future State of the Union In
long series of decisions, on the fullest ,rgu.
ment, and after the most deliberate cons aera-
ton, the Supreme Court of the United l4ates
had finally determined this point, in every form
under which the question could arise, WI ether
as affecting public or private rights-in' aues.
tons of the public domain, of religion, of navi.
cation, and of servitude.
The several States of the Union are, by}orce
OF the Constitution, coequal in domestic-iegis-
lative power. Congress cannot chsngets law
OF domestic relation in the State of Maipp; no
more can it in the State of Missouri. .Any
statute which proposes to do this is mere
nuiiity; 1t takes away no right, it confers aone.
If it remains on the statute book unrepea.ed, it
remains there only as a monument of .,rror,
and beacon of warning to the legislatqs and
the statesman. To repeal it, will be oily to
remove imperfection from the statutes, wuhout
affecting, either in the sense of permissl On or
of prohibition, the action of the States, or Of
their citizens.
Still, when the nominal restriction d this
nature, already dead letter in law, WIS in
terms repealed by the last Congress, in Iause
of the act organising the Territories of x snsas
and Nebraska, that repeal was made the pccs-

gateu ZOE tne eueral government the power TO
interfere directly with the domestic condition OF
persons in the Southern States, but On the con-
trary have dsavowed all such intentions, and
have shrunk from conspicuous utilization with
those few who pursue their fanatical objects
avowedly through the contemplated means OF
revolutionary change of the Government, and
with acceptance of the necessary consequen.
ces-a civil and servile war-yet many citizens
have suffered themselves to be drawn into one
evanescent political issue of agitation after an.
other, appertaining to the same set of opinions,
and which subsidized as rapidly as they arose
when it came to be seen, as it uniformly did,
that they were incompatible with the compacts
of the Constitution and the existence Of the
Union. Thus, when the acts of some of the
States to nullify the existing extradition law
imposed upon Congress the duty of passing a
new one, the country was invited by agitators
to enter into party organization for its repeal f;
but that agitation speedily ceased, by reason of
the impracticability of its object. So, when
the statute restriction upon the institutions of
new States, by geographical line, had been
repealed, the country was urged to demand its
with its birth. Then followed the cry of alarm
from the North against imputed Southern en-.
croachments which cry sprang in reality from
the spirit of revolutionary attack on the domes-
tic institutions of the South, and, after a
troubled existence of few months, has been
rebuked by the voice of a patriotic people.
Of this last agitation, one lamentable feature
was, that it was carried on at the immediate
expense of the peace and happiness of the
people of the Territory of Kansas That was
made the battlefield, not so much of opposing
factions or interests within ITSELF as of the CON.
flicting passions of the whole people of the
United States. Revolutionary disorder in Kan.
sas had its origin in projects of Intervention,
deliberately arranged by certain members Of
that Congress which enacted the law for the
organization of the Territory. And when prop
agandist colonization of Kansas had thus been
undertaken in one section of the Union, for the
systematic promotion of its peculiar views of
policy, there eusued, a. q matter Of course, a
