Tyr c,Ayron. BuLWER TREArY.-The New

i Y ork Herald, OF Lne % INST, contains the Vol-
luminous correspondence between the State de-
j partment and our minister at London, on the
. one part and the British government on the
1 other part, in relation to the Clayton-Bulwel
4 treaty., which no one seems to understand and
all profess to interpret. Referring to this cor
respondence the Herald says:
First in Importance to-day is this elaborate
i Central American correspondence between oul
present administration and the British cabinet
commencing in 1858. It viii be seen. from its
perusal, that our premier, Marcy, through GU,
i minister at London, Mr. Buchanan, holds the
i British cabinet to that exact Interpretation o.
the Clayton BulWer treaty which requires the
abandonment of those new Anglican colonies
appropriated from the continental territories Of
Honduras and the adjacent Bay Islands, as
well as the relinquishment of the Mosquito
protectorate. 1t will be remarked, on the 9th.
Ell side, that John Bull gives quite a different
| Interpretation to this remarkable and flexible
Clayton -Bulwer treaty, and is by no means
prepared either to abandon the Mosquito king
Sambo, or to relinquish those new colonies
aforesaid. He thinks, however, that there is
no necessity for a public disturbance upon these
trihes; while our administration, without hum
bug this time, but with something of real ex-
element, would have US believe that we are on
| the very verge of war.
| 1t is little curious, also, that while these
Central American usurpations and treaty in
fractions by England were exactly the same in
1853, as at the close of the year 1855, they
| should only just now be brought to the point of
casus belli Why this delay? We see they
have been putting off Mr.. Buchanan in London
pretty much as they put off the impatient and
earnest Soule, from time to time, at Madrid; and
as Marcy is a slow coach, it may really have
required, in his case. all of two years to COM
pass the exact points of the controversy in
that tangible shape which Old Hickory would
have made his ultimatum in less than six
months. Let US congratulate ourselves, how
ever, that the inaugural is TO be redeemed upon
the very heels of the Cincinnati presidential
nominating democratic convention.

"a FREE STATE OUT OF TEXAS We find
an article in the last Texan, under this cap-
ton, without note or comment From this it
would be fair to infer that the editor is in ia
vor of the project. Whether he is or not, we
believe it is seriously contemplated, and we
doubt not an attempt will be made to carry it
out, as soon as the party favoring it feels itself
strong enough to promise success We have
been told that the object is to divide the State,
and to contine slavery east of the Colorado, or
Guadalupe, and to prevent the importation of
any more slaves into the State Now this is
matter of serious consideration. There are
those who profess to be true to the south, that
rldlcule the idea of such a project being con-
templated, or that there is in Texas a party
opposed to slavery. But every candid observ-
er of the signs of the times, cannot but have
seen enough, during the last few years, to
convince him that the day is not distant when
an attempt will be made to either divide Tex
as, and make the western portion free-sol, or
restrict slavery to certain limits within the
State, and prevent its increase by Importation.
There is in Texas, particularly the western part
of it, strong anti-slavery sentiment; but it
has not sufficient strength to effect any thing,
it remains dormant, so far as
open political action is concerned But other
wise it is notidle. Every month adds greatly
% the strength of this sentiment, and if this
Increase is not speedily checked, the day is
lot distant when it! will hold the balance of
bower, If it does not become the dominant
oower, and SO soon as this anti-slavery senti-
nent is sufficiently strong to WELD an inhu-
nee IN our political affairs, many loud profess
ng demagogues will be found uniting with It. i
Notwithstanding their present professions in
avor of the south and southern institutions. :
some may be 10th to credit the existence of $
UGH sentiment in Texas, and others NAV a
ook upon the statement of its existence as mere l
peculatlon, gotten up for political effect Be &
so. We have done what we conceive to be v
ur duty in warning the people of Texas Of the b
impending danger of the hidden mine. If j
hey will not take warning in time, the result )
