In the cnjoyment teir liberty, property, and TIE
religion which they profeas,"
Judge fancy undertook to claim that this
provisions of the Treaty, forever prevented
all interference with slavery in the Territory
OF land ceded by the Treaty, and therefore.
rendered the Missouri Compromise nullity.
Judge Curtis Knocked the bran out of that
effigy, at blow. He said that so long as
France did not object 20 tho restriction Of sla-
very, within the Territory comprehended in
the Treaty, who couldi France is the only
party to the Treaty except this Government
But ne did not allow the question to rest
solely upon that ground. He said Moreover,
IT the United States were bound TO secure TO
the inhabitants their slave property, the agree
ment had been fulfilled, SO far as was known,
In the protection in the property, which was
IN the territory at the time the treaty was
ratified. He, however, did not believe that
such was the intent Of the Treaty, inasmuch
as France had ceded the territory in full
sovereignty to the United States, and had no
interest in thus prescribing the peculiar insti.
tutlons of the country surrendered. Besides,
IN all that part of the territory covered by the
Missouri prohibition, there were, aud tho
Indian title having been entingushed, could
legally be, no inhabitants at tho timo the
treaty was made. In the more s,uthers parts,
where slaves did exist, such as the tact inclu-
eed in the State of Louisiana, slavery was and
is still continued.
II will be obsurved, upon presentation of
the leading points made by Judge Curtis, that,
as was stated in the outset, he had pursued
line of investigation, different from that ta-
ken by Judge Mclean, by which, however,
he had arrived at precisely the same point.
To appreciate fully, tho entire force of
this opinion, it must be red at length, with
care, keeping the points naimcd fully in view.
Such an imperfect abstracts as we have given,
Is for the most part designed to correct the
misstatement of Locofoco newspapers and poll
ticians. who claim the opinion of Judge Ia
ney, rs the supreme law of the land Both
Mclean and Curtis, positively assert that it
is not, and declare that they shall not regard
it. Three of the remaining Judges have also
remodeled their opinions.

of a letter, dated Red River Settlement,
Hudson Bay Territory, Dec. 6:

last mail, and he expresses wish that l
should write to you by the first opportunity,
and state more particularly about the reports
we heard last summer about some traces of
whites being seen in the North. have just
returned from -, who was at Norway
House last July, and saw tho man who
brought down the express to Sir George
Simpson from Mr.. Anderson, in Mackenzie's
River (district,) stating that Indians had
brought over reports to one of the trading
posts in that quarter that Indians had seen
two or more encampmcnts of whites on IN
island on some point where Anderson and
Stewart turned back, lin 1850 and that ono
of the encampments particularly was quito
fresh, supposed to have been abandoned
day or two before the Indians saw it, and
from the traces thought there might have
been ten or twelve men. l could not Lear of
the exact locality further than that Anderson
and Stewart were within short distant of
the place where the traces were seen. l hope
you have heard more particularly about the
report.

AT the close Of lis article II remarks: "ln
the past ten wears there has been an immense
emigration from Ohio 70 Illinois, Iowa, Min
nesota, and Nebraska. This has becn uni
formly the case with all States where land
comes to $50 or $50 per acre, and is caused
simply by the fact that it then becomes "a
speculation for farmers TO sell out, and con-
mence new farms at government price. This
process will go on for only few years, for
the government is rapidly parting with all tho
good lands it possesses. In the meanwhile
the rapid increase Of town population com
pensatcs, in part, for the loss Of farmers"

force Walker has had under arms, during
the two years since his landing in the
country, it il hardly necessary to add the
armed citizens who fought at Granada and
Rivas because they are with score Of
exceptions. discharged soldiers; and il
must be borne in mind, that il many un-
wounded died, large proportion Of the
wounded recovered. It is estimated that
during two years, Of $500 mon enlisted

about 100 deserted $50 were discharged;

Statistics Of Walkers Campaign.

We are indebted to our attentive Pana.
ma correspondent for the following copy
Of semi.official statement drawn up by
Maj. Gen. Henningsen, briefly reviewing
tho whole Nicaragua campaign:
The first period may be reckoned from
the 29th June, 1855, comprising nine
months. during which time he fought
against $500 men, viz {: 1900 Services,
5000 Costa Ricans. The result leaving
him after loss in round numbers, of 900
men in killed and wounded, and 1000 Of
theirs, masters Of the soil of Nicaragua.
The second period may he reckoned
from the lst September, 1856, to Decem-
Der IL, Of that year, terminating with the
evacuation of Granada. During this time
he had to contend with about 1000 men
Of the native and allied army the result
being that with loss of 31l killed and
wounded on his part, and the loss Of
2, 700 killed on the part Of the allies, at the
end Of December their force was reduced
to 1900 men, thinned every day by deser-
ton. In fact, but for the capture of the
lake and river steamers, the war might
have been considered virtually decided.
The third period may be reckoned from
the 25th Of January, 1857, to the LIST Of
May, 1857, which terminated the siege Of
Rivas. and during which time Walker had
commended against over 5000 Of the ene-
my, with Z loss to his force Of 800 killed
and wounded, and between 1000 and $500
to that Of the allies. ~. ~. Z 49,. ~
