swer TO the suggestion that the great retail ba-
zaars on Broadway should do something for an
institution which puts 80 much money in their

NoS-ENrESsI0N or SLAVERY ~ FREE TEPRrrO-
RY.--We observe that the democratic, or Niger

SIC district Of this State supporting Buchanan and
the Cincinnati platform, has conc out with let
ter. in which he declares himself opposed to the
extension Of slavery over territory now free, and
asks for support upon that principle. We believe
that this principle of the non extension Of slave

attempting TO force slavery into Kansas M The

WALKERS Position IN NIcARAGUA-Thc last
accounts from Central America represent the
state Of affairs there as unsettled as ever. Mat
ters seem to have arrived at a sort Of deadlock
in which all parties seem afraid to move. Walk
er remains inactive in Granada, Rivas is shut
up in Leon, and Mora has got into dreadfuly
bad odor with the Costa Ricans, and cannot get
them TO move. Central American warfare like
the Chinese, is neither very rapid nor very dan
gerous in its operations. A man may live through
innumerable campaigns, provided the climate and
rum do not kill him. 1t is evident from all this
that the physical prestige Of the Americans win
eventually succeed in overawing their opponents
into submission. They seem TO have fairly es
tablished their footing, and ii Walker viii only

justice OF the claims. and all, except Mr..

there was a diversity Of opinion as to.
the constitutional powers of Congress TO
appoin, public officers. The exercise
of such a power was held by Mr.. Ma.
son. of Virgins, and others to be ar in
fringement Of The preroga,ives Of the
President; and while he and these who
agreed with him OH this poin, urged .he
duty Of constituting tho Board. and fa-
vored the appointment Of Col. Fremont
to be is chairman, he insisted that the
appointment should be left open, to be
filled by the President. Mr.. Badger
