lrelard, aHer eight hundred years Of Englsh

while in India the whole energies Of the con-
querors are at this moment devoted, and indeed
have been devoted since the operation began, not TO
the question Of behe TO India but 10 that OF MAN.
taining their own dominion over H. That, We are
strongly inclined TO suspect, would for long time
be the case with our profo,ed SpaDish-American
protectorate. We should for the first ten or twenty
years Of it, st the least have so much to do in con-
vincing our p'Otegts Of the expediency and neces-
sty Of submitting to our guardianship, that we
should have very little, if any leisure to employ
for any other purpose. A. the English con-
querors Of ireland became by contact with
barbarous population almost as Irish ss the
Irish Themselves, as the English in Ind, after
few years residence cease to be English and become
sebi-Indiap, the same thing would be pretty cer-
tain to happen to the North American protectors f
Central America and Mexico. We, at least those
Of us who emigrated thither, would fad it vast
deal easier TO ssk down to the level Of the nat7e
inhabitants than to Lift them up to ours. If any
further evidence were seeded Of the probability 'i
this result, II might be found in the example of our
own Southern States. With all the boasted natural
superiority of the white over the black race, the
contact Of the two has resulted not so much in the
civilization Of the blacks in batbarizing the
whites Fog the present we may as well condne
our energies to the unsettled territory Of which we
stii have enough and to spare. If BY the time all
this is settled and occupied it shall turn out that
Mexico stil remains theater Of civil contention,
it will thente quite time enough to engage in this
questionable business Of a protecsOrate.

Gov. King bas vetoed the bill authorizing the

fairly urged that the Legislature, in behalf Of the

The efsence Of m dern democracy Of tee Bd-
chanan school seems to be that all labor is base aud
.ayisb, and that the free white farmers aud me-
chanics Of the North ard West are really in the
same degraded position as tie black chattes of the
South. Gov. Hammond regards all laborers as
mere "mud-sils for rich aristccrats to tread
upon; and The Washington Union says that "those
"who talk about the free labor of the North,
"snd parade it as contradistnguished from slave
labor, are the merest quacks in political econo-
my" OF course, il is bat natural that with such
sentiments as these the Administration should wisn
to force the L.compNn Constitution upon the

fornia was given TO Mr.. Buchanan en- the promise
of Pacific Railroad, while Mr. Gwin pronounced
q vote for postponement to be conclusive against

MINNESOTA was organized as State some slx
months ago, but has not yet been admitted into the
Union; consequently her State officers are 40! yet
empowered to act but her fret Legislature has he'd
its Session, the Territorial Governor and Secretary,
by some legerdepain that We do not understand,
doing duty State officers and 30 signing and re-
cOrding certifying acts. One Of the most impor-
TAFT provisions OF the Constitution, concurred in
by both political parties and ratified BY large snd
unanimous popular vote, forbade the incurring OF
Any State debt for purposes Of Internal Improve
mtnt; and yet the frat Legislature chosen under
this Constitution, at the very election which rat
fed it, has voted TO run the State in debt Five Mil
liens Of Dollars and lend the whole to four Railroad
Companies, which Companies lad been organized
to receive some Three Millions Of acres of Public
Lands voted to Minnesota By Congress in aid Of the
construction of four Railroads IN different directions
thrt ugh the length and breadth Of the new State.
This loan Of $4,000, 900 the people of Minnesota
have just voted to ratfy, overriding or changing
their Con.ti!ut,on for the purpose. Thus the pas
zion for running in debt for present relief, ard in
the hope of future wealth, would seem to overbear
all resistance in Minnesota. A I'D, should the loan
be negotiated reasonable terms, and the m ,ney
rot stolen before it ecu be made to reach the labor
ers on her prospective Railroads, we have no doubt
that an immediate sensation of relief will be expe-
rienced in m0st sections Of the new State
The people Of Minnesota have, Of course, right
to edo whatthey Ike witt their o@n'-a right to
their State into debt if they can find capitalists
ready to lend them. We desire only to give them
two words of caution, namely: l. Take all posi-
bic care to get as much # this $1,000 900 into the
hands of railroad makers, and let as little Of it
stick TO those Of fnancers and politicians, as may
be; and 2. Never repudiate nor shirk the payment
of your Public Debt, so contracted, but toe the
mark promptly, heartily, thoroughly. You may
never be required 10 pay this S5,000,OO0 or any
part of III; those who lave led you into the opera
ton vehtmently ASSERT that YOU will net, but we
think you viii. Iu any case, it will not be your
creditors fault if the money is squandered, or iCju
diciously invested, but yours. Act, then, as BELTS
honest meo and do not shrink from Onerous taxa
ton, should that become necessary. You have
chosen TO run a grave Isk for the sake of sup
lOsed public good; should the result be loss, meet
that loss mapfulIy'

The Conference Committee met this morning
Mr.. Stephens was present. though still sick. Mr.
Hunter was absent, as he was st the previous meet
ing. Thr Administration evidently wishes delay. Its
plans probably not quite ripe for action. Money
has not yet done its perfect work. There is no iu-
dicaton yet that Committees will agree, nor that
aIy ccmprOmse will meet with favor.
Tie majority of the House Committee have
agreed 10 make no proposition, because, as the
Serate asked foy the Conference, the Senate Com
inittee must propose medifcations of the Senate
bill if they desire to have any adopted. Mr. Ec-
elift still processes to be opposed to any serious

WASHINGTON, Apr y, I35:.
Mr. EnsEsh says that he has notified tse mai0rty
of the Senate Committee that unless they submit
some proposition to MORROW, he will repor.that
iuct to the House, and ask that its Committee be
discharged.
The present indications are encouraging for the
deeat Of Lecompton and the belief is general that
70 accommodation can be effected in the confer
cree. Messrs Jones end Pendeton are decided IN
their expressions in favor Of adherirg to the orgi
nal grouLd taken by tie House, and Mr.. English is
equally emphatic.
The Pacific Road was defeated yesterday,
eighteen Lecompton Senators voting for Mr.. Benja
Minis molten to postpone till December, which Mr.
Gun pronounced, before the division, conclusive
against any road 10 California. Mr. Gwin justified
bis course on Kansas at home BY assuring his
trends that it would gain votes for the road. The
record will show how it lost support. His pres
,ee in California is gone.
