ANOTHER EFFoRr.-The Commissioners des-

meeting and fixed upon Monday, the I'd OF

be called upon to vote upon the proposition
contained in that bill If they accept it, (the

Union as slave State; if they reject it, then
Kansas must remain Territory until she shall

an important one, whether Kansas becomes a

FRAzrR RIVER SrccK DHcL1sMa.-The ed-
tor of the Alta has very recently returned from
Bellingham Bay, where he has been on tour
of observation. He says that the people o.
Victoria and Whatcomb knew less about t,,e
mines than the people of California professed
to know. The innumerable big strikes OF
"nicn we hear ria San Francisco, were un-
known at those places He Says that she gen.
erai opinion, among men conversant with the
subject, was that the waters of Frazer river
would not decline sufficiently to admit of sue
cessful mining, until the first of August
Until that time, no one could say what was
to be found in the river, and it was all mere
speculation as to the richness of the deposites.'
Conversing with "old pioneers" who had
returned from an exploration of the upper
country, towards Thompson's river, he learned
that nothing could now be done, but that good
tcdges might be made when the water falls
He met several miners at Whatcom, amongst
them Mr.. Hill, the discoverer of Hills Bar

existence of gold in their territory for several
years, but certainly not in such quantities as
were now represented. In speaking of the
features of the country, the climate, and the
river, we CLEANED the following facts: The
general character of the country between the
waters of the Sound and the interior, was
exceedingly rugged and mountainous; and
that as yet they had never been able to
find pass through which they could carry
ths.s goods to the interior, and consequently
they had always to depend on getting up the
river during low water, in the fall before the
SHOWS fell and the ice stopped their progress:
and again about two months in the early
spring, after the lie had broken up, and be-
fore the snn's heat had commenced to melt
the SHOWS and fill the streams again with their
floods and freshets. They were now con-
structing their bateau1 for the purpose Of car
rying up supplies at lew water in the coming
fall, to their various trading posts high up in

q 1t is the settled doctrine of this Court to
enforce every provision of the Constitution in
favor of the rights reserved to the citizen
against an usurpation of power in any ques-
ton whatsoever, and although in doubtful
case we would yield to the authority of the
Legislature, yet upon the question before US,
we are constrained to declare that, in our
opinion, the Act in question is in conflict with
the lst Section and Article lst of the Consti-
tuition, because, without necessity, it infringes
upon the liberty of the citizen, By restraining
his right to acquire property.
And that it is in conflict with the 4th
Section of the same Article, because it is in
tended as, and is, in effect, discrimination in
favor of one religious profession, and gives it
preference over all Others"

from the Atlantic papers which came to hand
by the John L. Stephens, which arrived at San

The absorbing topic of discussion at Wash-
ington aud elsewhere was the recent outrages
perpetrated by British cruisers on American
merchantmen, under the pretext of a search
for slaves carried from the coast of Africa, as
they allege,- contrary to treaty stipulations
Up to the lst June, thirty-three merchant
men, sailing under American colors, had been
stopped by English cruisers, their papers over
hauled, the ships searched, and other gross
indignities offered to our flag.
To put stop to this state Of things, the
President has ordered the following vessels OF
war to the Gulf of Mexico, to protect our COM
merce and prevent similar outrages in the
future:

Tile Case of Thomas Washington
Smith was brought to close on Tues
day morning last, after a tedious trial
of twelve full days, by verdict
Of " not guilty because ofinsanity at the
time of the commission of the act" The
correctness of the verdict was admitted
by the Judge when he discharged the
jury, and it was received with great de-
monstrations of joy by the immense
crowd which thronged about the Court
House. Miss Mary L. Smith, who did
not leave her brother during the tedious
trial, Immediately petitioncd the Court
for his delivery to her; the petition was
taken up on Thursday, when he was given
into her custody, and will be by her
taken into Delaware, where she will be-
stow every care to effect his recovery.
We have received a Ms. copy of
the introduction of Mr.. Browns speech
in his defence, which, coming too late
for this week, will be printed in our next
paper.
