WASHINGTON, Friday, May is, 1856.
Padre Will was not presented to the President
by Secretary Marcy, as heretofore stated, but BY
Mr.. Thomas, the Assistant Secretary Of State.
Mr.. Buchanan is indignant at Lord Palmerston
and Earl Carendons reiterated misrepresentation
as to the arbitration. He says that the whole char
acter of their occasional and accidental references
to this subject warranted him in supposing that the
object was to sound our Government as to its views
aud not to submit specific proposition. As evi.
dence his playful manner is cited in which he
turned such conversations, being determined not to
regard the suggestion as meaning anything till the
British Government became committed by dig.
tinct offer. According to bis view and that Of 9TH
ers, the mode in which it is represented even now,
could not be acted upon by the Senate.
Secretary Marcy is entertaining Mr.. Buchanan
with large party Of Senators and distinguished
persons this evening.
The debate on the Naval Board to-day by Messrs.
Crittendep, Toombs and Benjamin was the ablest
of the Session and most decided in tone.

B@- The Democratic party, North, de-
clare that under the provisions of the Kan
sas-Nebraska act, the Territorial Legisla-
ture has the power TO prohibit slavery in
the territory Of Kansas. The Democratic
party, South, generally, declare that under
the provisions Of the act the Territorial
Legislature cannot prohibit slavery, be-
cause that would be exercising authority
in violation Of the COnstitution-thatt the
control over the subject of slavery is vested
in the people when they come to frame
State constitution. Upon this important
question vitality affecting the South the two
wings occupy positions directly opposite.
, The one or the other is wrong in its inter-
probation of the act both can't be right.
What ought the party to do under the cir
cumstances I? 1t appears to us that the
Cincinnati convention ought to determine
: which occupies the true ground. Unless it
does this. contest based upon the princi-
piles Of the Kansas-NebraSka act will decide
( nothing. But, when called upon to demand
I Of the Cincinnati convention a decision upon
this point, Democratic presses, South. de-
cline TO do so, declaring that the matter
should be left TO the decision of the Su-
preme Court. What is the effect Of this ?
Why a union Of Southern men with North
ern men in support Of a principle which the
latter subscribe TO on a ground most OBJ
noxious to the South, and in effect denial
of the equality of the South in the terri
tories 1t is but an evasion Of the slavery
question as party test for what is the
slavery question but the question as TO the
rights of the people Of the South in the
territoriesl 1t is equivalent to saying,
1--WE are divided in sentiment npon the
slavery question, as widely separated as the
poles; there is not the least possible chance
for an agreement, unless the one side or the
other gives up its opinions; neither can,
neither viii, do that. Therefore, rather
than quarrel and lose the Offices Of the
government, We wont make the matter a
party test; we viii leave il where ;he Con.
stitntion places it, and let the courts decide

people. this looks like ignoring the slavery
question as party test, entirely. aud il is.

lot upon which to erect suitable and commodious
buildings. This was called the school building
committee. of which Mr. Hume was made chair
man. Be il remembered, al this time Mr. Kooert-
son was not member Of the Board, nor, indeed,
was be ever a member within the recollection OF
the writer Finally, in June, 1859, the Board
directed him to proceed North. for the purpose Of
investigating thoroughly the details of the whole
system Of public schools then in operation In the
cities of Cleveland, Providence, Boston, Baltimore
&c. This he accomplished to their entire satistac-
ton. and upon his return home he made lengthy
and elaborate report before the people, which was
received with manifestations of enthusiasm and
applause. The suggestions in that report were
generally adopted and acted upon. Two thousand
copies we're ordered to be printed for gratuitOus
distribution.
The building completed under bis immediate su-
pervison, his own plans carried into execution, and
other things in connection Herewith considered,
who, we ask, is entitled to the credit and honor OF
establishing this grand system? Who else among
US, but Alfred Hume, went so far as to sacrifice
bis health and even life, flor he survived but a
short time after returning home,) to advance the
all-important cause of education? Let, then, this
school forever perpetuate his memory. And may
his numerous pupils now residing here, never have
occasion to pass that beautiful structure. without

to come, be associated with that of the High School
