The HUDSON BAY CoMPANY's AND AMER1-
CAN lNTEREsTs.-We are sorry to see, says

senslon between this country and the United
states OF America is likely to occur, in conse.
9uence Of an alleged proclamation which the
governor OF Vancouver Island has recently
issued. Mr. Douglas the Governor of Van
souVer Island, happens also to fill the posi-
"oh OF a chief factor in the Hudson Bay Com
Pahys service. Having first issued procla.
hia'ion esta bhshing system Of miuinG licen-
seS-a proclamation which, we NAV adj. the
acme government has disallowed ON the
ground that Mr.. Douglas had no authority
whatever in New Caledo .ia-that gentleman
mas issued another probation, which we ap-
prehend is equally Illegal, because it affect.
~ oe an exercise OF power on behalf of the
imperial government, whereas it is in reality
nnp'1lng more than an act of servant of the
Hudson Bay Company. A chief factor, nc
uouot, has perfect right to notify to Brit
lsn subjects and Foreigners that the compa-
ny under its license to trade in the Indian
territories, claims certain exclusive rights
outlt Is obvious that such n notification
whether legal or Illegal should emauate from

Kansas Col. McCaslin, now in Kansas, and
who was turned out of office because he OPP
posed the nefarious breach Of Democratic
principle committed by Mr.. Buchanan, has
written letter in which he thus speaks Of
Senator Bigler:
THE writer was present at the Kansas
land sales, in Kansas in June, 1857, and
heard Governor Walker and Secretary Stan
ton, and others, address an assemblage of
people numbering over q thousand: heard
Governor Walker, in his speech, admonish
the people in the most convincing manner.
to peaceful and lawful settlement of their
troubles by the ballot-box. He pledged his
veracity as an honorable man that they should
be protected, and should have a fair vote up
on their Constitution-and heard him quote
the President and united Cabinet as his au
thority for making the pledges. The writer,
also, at Me same time heard Governor Bioler

Last week we said that if no new cases of
small pox appeared during the week, we
would to day furnish statement of its rise
and progress to date There have been sew.
en- cases in all--two of small pox and five of
varioloid. The first case made its appearance
in our town about the l4th of Juiv, the pa
tient being an emigrant from the cast, by the
name of Alexander Cissna, who was exposed
to the disease on the steamer as he came from
Panama. His was a genuine case of small
poX, of which he died. The next was mild
case Of varioloid, Philip Sherman being the
patient This case only continued few
days, when the patient recovered. The next
was that of Lewis McGregor, W % had gen
uine small pox, of which he died. The other
four cases Of varioloid were very mild, and
only lasted a short time The patients are
now all well.
