In these calculations of the European diplo-
matists new element will enter from the
advent Of Walker. re intends 10 depart from
this country as peacefm emigrant; and it is not
at all unlikely if his plans ale well laid, that he
may get off with several hundred men. With
these, if not stopped, he will no doubt attempt to
go up the river; and how far such a proceeding
will succeed must b judged by the success of
the last expedition. Should he be stopped by
an English force at San Juan, or in the river it
will probably be just what he is seeking, for it
would create sympathy for him in this country
which he does not now possess, and be produc-
tive, in the end, Of most important results, lead
ing, perhaps, even to serious complications with
Great Britain.
All of these things combine to set forth in
strong and Objectionable lights the refusal of
Congress to grant authority to the President to
use such force as was proper in the settlement of
our pending Central American questions Had
this been granted during the last session there
would not now have been left reason for fill
buster to stand upon. The Transit route would
have been opened long ago. the Belly contract
would never have come into existence, and we
should have seen no gathering now of diplomatic
Clouds British fleets, and flibuster expeditions at
San Juan. In this, and in not abrogating the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, Congress made two great
mistakes, which it may have to correct during the
coming session.

By telegraphic dispatch from Spring
field we have the painful intelligence Of the
death Of Hon. Thos. l.. Harris, Represen-
tative in Congress from the Sixth District
in this State. Il died at bis residence in
Petersburg at 6 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The announcement is not unexpec-
ted. For some years he has been subject
to attacks of hemmorage of the lungs,
finally it settled down into confirmed con-
firmed consumption. At the last session,
during the struggle over the Lecompton
Bill in the House, Mr.. Harris was strick-
en- down by an attack of hemmorage. and
for some time his recovery was considered
extremely doubtful. After his return home
he was again Frustrated from the effects Of
a poisonous drug which he took through
mistake, but he rallied from the effects Of
able again to take his seat in Congress-
But shortly before the election his disease
assumed moro alarming character, since
when he has gradually sunk under its raw.
ages until death closed the scene
Mr.. Harris has represented the Spring
field District in Congress for the last siS
years, and at the recent election was agair
returned for two years more. He achieved
a national reputation during the last scs
sion by his firm and rcsolute resistance O
the Lecompion iniquity. Until stricken
down by disease, he was the recognized
leader in that body Of the Anti Lecomptol
forces. When the vote was taken, he wa
in his seat at the peril of his life. OF al
the Anti Lecompton Democratic Represen
tatives from Illinois, he was considered I,
be the most sincere i'll his opposition t
that measure.
Mr.. Harris was a native of Connecticut
but has been resident ofIllinios for man,
years. He served in the Mexican war wit
considerable distinction, and soon after it
close was elected to Congress. AS a citi
zen and neighbor he COMMANDED genera

In conclusion we would say.
CONTINUE VOTING ALL DAY!
Mr.. Stewards speech.

Mr.. Stewards speech, in which he de-
clares that the present political agitation
is an irreconcilable war between sectional
interests, which must eni in the overthrow
Of one or the other, is producing a pro-
found sensation in the South. Southern
statesmen have sagacity enough to preceive
that the free States of the north, can never
re-aaopt slave institutions consequently,
Iif . war of determination between the res
pcctive social institutions of the two sec
tons is commended. Unjust end in the DIES
truction of those in the South. This feel
ing has been growing up for years in the
Southern mind, till the value of the Union
has become subject of calculations.
Mr.. Stewards sentiments, are proclaimed
in the following extract Of his speech:
Shall tell yon what this collision
means? They who think that it is acct
dental, unnecessary. the work Of interested
or fanatical agitators. and. therefore. ephe.
neral, mistake the case altogether. II is
an irrepressibIe conflict between opposing
and enduring forces, and it means the Uni
ted States must and will sooner or later,
become entirely slave holding nation,
OF entirely free labor nation. Either the
cotton and the rice fields Of South Caro-.
lima and the sugar plantations Of Louis
