The Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana,
writing to the South Bend Register, his
paper, says that, after the debate between
Douglas and Bigler, in which this question
was put, was over:

OF which the following is an abstract:
Ar. Lovejoy said if the neutrality laws

: Doings of the Ohio Legislature.

DIR. Books of Hamilton county intro
duced a bill for the repeal of the act passed
last yesr, prohibiting the jails of Ohio, to
be used for the confinement of fugitives
from slavery. This is the first step to undo
what has been done. This measure is a
party move, designing to repeal the act lot
because OF any objection it has in itself, but
because it is the action of a Republican
Legislature. The DOUGLAS resolutions
which may be found in another column
we are informed by private letter, were the
subject of warm discussion in caucus. The
divisions were equally strong, when q BUcH,
AsAN democrat come in aud invited bis
friends out to ~'.liqu9r." The DoUGLAsIrEs
took advantage of their absence and passed
the resolutions. They are in themselves
very lame; a kind of "good Lord, good
devil' production. The inauguration OF
Governor CEass took place on Monday, and
the other State officers were sworn in

GRecent advices from Japan, furnished
by the ship-ol-war Portsmouth,, which visited
that country in October last, guto strengthen
the idea that Commodore F,rry's treaty will
not prove, as has been feared, entirely bar

prospect OF trade nith :he Japenese, as they
have very little to sell, and little disposition

WASHINGTON, Jan. PPM

The relations between the President and
Gov. Walker are daily becoming more hos
tile. The "frie ndly feeling" that is said to
have existed "when they differed but parted
as friends" is giving place to one Of open
and bitter hostility. The President, in re-
pudialing Walker on the ground that he did
not carry out his instructions, committed a
fatal error, for facts are now being brought
forward to show that the late Kansas Gov
ernor acted in strict accordance with the
avowed policy of Mr.. Buchanan.
The course of the ADMINISTRATIVE toward
Walker, and the bitterness displayed in Con
gress by its supporters, are bringing out
many interesting facts, that will do no cred
it to the occupant of the White House.
Amorg the latter, is a private letter, re-
ceived by Gov. Walker, from the President.
when encamped before Law ence, ~xnuuai-L

This letter has been seen by several persons
and it will prot aqly soon be published If
Mr.. Buchanan had iany character tor cen
