BgA- California has followed the example of some
other States and passed law prohibiting the future
immigration of free blacks into that State, and i'm
posing certain restrictions upon those already there
The constitution of Oregon contains like prOhibi-
ton, as a fundamental law, and hence some cpposi-
ton exists in the Senate on the part of the repub-
icans to the bill for the admission Of Oregon under
that constitution There are signs that this will be
tie future policy Of many of the States, las it has
long been with certain of the free States in the
West,) while some others have gone so far as to
provide by law for selling free negroes who may
violate the act, into bondage. 1t must result from
the treatment which free blacks receive both in the
non-slavehOlding and the slaveholdng States, that
they will, as Senator Mason remarked, in debate,
the other day themselves seek refuge from it by a
voluntary return to condition in which they will
be better cared for Until the slavery question was
brought into politics the sentiment of the North
that those who are slaves had better so remain
and this will again become the general opinion.
Emancipation has conferred no benefit upon the
African race either in the United States or else
where.

THE COALITION.

The prominent Fillmore men Of Buffalo have
Joined hand with the leading Black Republicans Of
that place, in issuing circular, the object of which
is to effect union Of all voters opposed to the LIE
compton policy Of the President, upon single
ticket at the ensuing election. The N. Y. Friba7,
says:
aThe Circular indicates clearly sud well the
platform on which common organization and COM
mon effort are practicable This State OUghttO send
from twenty-five to thirty opponents Ofthe LecOmP
ton fraud to the next Congress, and elect STAGE
ticket and Legislative hostile to 1t at least One
Hundred Thousand majority. To secure this con
summation, a generous forgetfuness Of obsolete
differences and an earnest reciprocity ofconcesslons
with regard to candidates are all that is needed
Ne hail with JOY and hope this cordial overture"
The tone Of the circular may be seen in the first
words Of it as follows:
DEAR SR:-The absolute and unconditional sur
render Of the national Government into the hands Of
the aggressive aud intOerant slave power Of the
country, by the national Administration, SC, &.
This is the first move towards the formation Of
the new coalition The movement has the sympa-
thy and favor Of both Mr.. Fillmore and Mr. Seward,
and doubtless also that of Mr.. Douglas Among
the sgners to the Circular alluded to, are Mr.. Ha
ven, late K n, member of Congress from the Buff
falo District adA Mr.. JeHett, Of the Buffalo AGOsr
tssr-both warm and confidential friends Of Mr..
Fillmore-and Mr.. SPaulding leading and conf
DENTAL friend of Mr.. Seward. "Things is workin q"

s.RECovsTRUCTIoN' COMMENCED The n Y. Jour
nal Of Commerce says several gentlemen in Buffalo
have commenced in practical way the ''reconstruc-
lion" business They have issued call for mass
meeting to be held in that city the 9th Of Nay,
at which time all who choose to attend will have an
opportunity Of freeing their minds Gin regard to
tneir political rights and duties" 1.-The absolute
and unconditional surrender of the National Govern
into the hands of the aggressive and intOlerant
slave power is the high sounding reason given for
this important cOnvocaGOn."
Some of the names appended to the call seem
familiar to u.s. and we think must have been used in
the reconstruction" in 1855, when the present Re
publican party was launched In view Of the fact
hat that ship has become rotten and unseswoTthy
in less than four years. it may be questioned Wheth
er the same builders are exactly qualified to engage
in the business Of reconstruction" Their former
Job was a cad one. Perhaps their experience then,
will enable them to rebuild the craft SO as to make
her worthy Of confidence, but we doubt it.
There is one singular feature in this Buffalo pro
position We allude to the absence Of the democratic
element, of which there is not even enough for fla
voring the mass Scroggs is in the plot sol is Welch,
once a Democrat, but Republican of three or four
years standing; so too is the late State Treasurer,
Spaulding. The Americans are represented by Mr..
Jewett of the Commercial Advertiser, and ex-Gon-
gresham Haven, but of Democrats thereis no show.
1t is simply a coalition of the Republicans rnd the
Fillmore men, who, from hating intensely, have
come to loving fraternally They will embrace each
other on the 9th inst. We know Of no objection to
the uniSn.

FRoM WAsHINGToN.-W Washington, M0y l9-Mr
Boyce has made report in the House from the Sc
leet Committee on he tariff, Sc It takes ground
that protective policy should be entirely abandoned
and resort made IS early rs possible, to direct
taxation. as a measure Of economy. Articles Of
prime necessity should be taxed at the lowest rate
Of duty, and the burden be throFn as much as pos
sible upon Injuries The navigation laws should
be so modified as not to require any portion Of the
officers and crews of American ships to be American
seamen. There should be free purchase and sale
Of foreign built ships on an entire equality with
American built ships, and that the American cody
trade should be open on terms Of perfect equality to
foreign ships
The committee say that they do not entertain tbs
hone that they can inaugurate the new policy now;
such radical changes must be the work OF time
They do not, therefore, look so much to immediate
practical results as to the effect on public OPINION
and thus ultimately insure the triumph Of the prln-
oiples which they advocate.

LARGE HAUL OF COUNTERFEIT MoNEY-Tas Sam,

Sunday night, at the Ohio and Mississippi depot by
the Lieutenant Of the Pearl street Station House.
short time prior to the departure Of the train upon
suspicion; and upon searching him, packages of
counterfeit bills to the amount of Sl 900 were found
in his possession. The bills were Of one i7ure and
one denomination, being SIS on the Hadley Falls
Bank at Holyoke, Mass and the individual upon
whom this suspicious truck was discovered was
safely conveyed to the Pearl street Station House
Subsequently, another man, named Thomas Pullen,
who had been observed in close conversation with
Sampson, was also arrested at the depot, and con-
Quoted to the ladies' sooon, where ne was searched
Nothing contraband, however, was discovered upon
mis- person, but upon searching around in the en-
trance leading to the saloon, a package of 81 900

surmised had been dropped by Pullen, who was i'm
mediately furnished with quarters in the same
institution as that to which his companion, Samp
son, had been conveyed Yesterday they were
brought before the Police Judge, and committed for
examination in default of procuring bonds of 81 900

into and then it goes down The only difference is
they don't penitentiary any body for it, the swindle
having been done under charter from the legisla-
ture and is therefore respectable.
