The Presidential Succession.

WASHINGTON, July %, lS5S.-The Presi-
dcutial SUCCESSION engages much more Of the
attention Of the Democratic aspirants, here
and elsewhere, than the masses of the party
can have any notion of. The Union contin-
ues to pour its hot shot into Douglas, not
withstanding the fact that his defeat must be
the defeat of the Illinois Democratic party.
But there is little firm here for the Presi-
dency, consisting of Senator Slideli. Of Lou
isiaHa, and Senator Bright, OF Indiana, who
are determined, at all hazards, to bring Doug
las to the block, because be and bis friends
stand 10 the way of Messrs. Slidell and
Bright. between whom it is agreed that Sill
dell shall be the Democratic candidate in 60
for President, ana Bright for Vice President.
These are the men that are Logging" on the
Union. As fer the President, he is disposed
to et Douglas have his wish in letting him
fight out his battle without interruption, one
way or the other.
Ga the other hand, Governor Wise is in the
same boat with Douglas, and the Richmond
Enquirer is, therefore, working for the Little
Giant like beaver, which will make, by and
by very pretty kettle Of fish OF the Virginia
democracy for the Hunter men, when the
time comes, will move heaven and earth, If
they can, to get Wise under the hatcbes.-
You will also observe that while some of the
more Southern fre-eaters are perfectly fero-
cIous against Douglas, others OF them are
disposed T. give hin the right hand Of fellow
ship for 1860. So that you will perceive that
the Democratic Presidential wire-workers for
1860, are pretty thoroughly mixed up, and 10
as beautiful state OF harmony as the plot
ting and contemplating factions of the op-
position. --Corr. ~ y Herald.

mark:
"The author in long life has found that
real Christians agree much more perfectly in

the novel events of the day, the arrival at
one of their posts Of two vessels OF nearly
four hundred tons each, from Chicago, direct.
They passed over one thousand miles down tue
Lakes and the St. Lawrence before reaching
Quebec. They left a. the same time and
arrived at the same hour. They were laden
with the rich produce of Ohio, slaves Of the
finest quality, for all purposes. beautiful
black walnut and other ornamental turnl-
ture woods, wheat. -four, peas, and Indian
corn. They passed the whole distance of some
$500 miles in thirty-tuo days. and are about
the very best class Of vessels that could be
built for this trade. They insure at very
moderate rates, and only draw about nine
feet of water when fully laden. They have
cleared with return cargocs There are seve-
raj other vessels on their way on the same

Californians in Washington have informed
the Government that if adVenturers from that
side should decide that the acts OF Governor
Douglas at Frazer's Risor are illegal, which
the President thinks the British Government
has recognised as legal, there will be immi-
nent danger Of collision between said adj
venturers and the British authorities; and
that it will be "proper and necessary Tor the
President to dispatch special agent to that
garter to persuade our people that they must
submit quietly to the British authorities"
until our Government can make some ar
rapgement to remove the difficulties which
the immigrants complain of. 1t is to be
hoped they will; but goid.hu nters are, as
class, not very persuadable.
II was stated yesterday that Sir l.. Buiwcr
Lytton had instructed the Governor o! Van
couver's Island that it is no part of the poll
cy of the British government to exclude
Americans or other foreigners, from the Fra
Ter river gold fields. The instructions fur
Their say:
.'Oa the contrary, you are distinctly instruc-
ted to oppose no obstacle whatever to their
resort thitber for the purpose Of digging in
those fields. so long as they submit themselves
to the recognition Of our authority, and con-
form to such rules Of police as you may have
thought proper to establish. The national
right to navigate Frazer's river is Of course
a separate question, and one which Her MeJJ
esty's goyeroment must reserve.
Under the circumstances Of so large an
immigration Of Americans into English terri
tory, need hardly impress upon you the lm
portance Of caution aud delcacy IN dealing
with those manifold cases Of international
relationship and feeling, which are certain to
arise, and which but for the exercise OF tenn
per and discretion might easily lead to serl'
Gus complications between two nelghborine
and powerful States"
The Governor is also instructed to adopt
every measure be may conceive to be best
calculated to give develOpement to the new
country and to advance imperial interests.

State Tax.

One of the principle objects for calling
the Legislature together in n special Ses-
sion at this time, was to levy "a State tax
for the pourpose Of carrying on the expen-
ses of the Government. and paying the In :
tsrest Of our state debt. l5,' it seems that
some of the wise men of that body are OPP
posed to that measure One reason asSIs1-
ed is that the present valuation of real es-
tate is very unequal. 1t is true that the
valuation is unequal; and that fact would
justly the Legislature in levying small
or tax than would otherwise be proper, but
is it not sufficient excuse for levyiug no
tax at all. If money is not collected by
taxation, the State debt is bound TO be in
creased-a thing which should not be done
Another objection against levying tax is
that the people, owing to ''hard times"
are not able to pay it. This ia the a great
mistake. The people are much more able
to pay portion of the tax now, than they
will be to pay two or three years tax mex,
year. The monsv is bound To he raised
and II is a mattcrof prudence to pay a por-
ton Of it this year. Harrison Democrat.
