8. The surveying parties and colonies or
gained for the purpose of making surveys,
have the privilege of importing all their in
struments, material, supplies, &C., free of
duty. u
4. The exclusive right of steam navigation
between San Francisco or other American
ports and Guaymas, or other port in the Gulf
of California, is secured to Capt. Isbam, his
associates or assigns for a term of years-ten,
if we recollect rightly.
It appears that Capt. IsHAM has not yet full
filed the contract on his part. and that it is
very doubtful, even if he should succeed in
his present negotiations for money to do so,
whether the claim would be recognized by the
present or any subsequent government of
Mexico. The amount of land is quite too ex-
whole affair is the vagary of crazy man
rather than anything practicable. The Times,
however, says:
The purpose of Captain Isham, and those
whom he will ass ociate with him, is of course
to complete the surveys called for by his
grant, beginning with the State of Sonora,
and then by colonization and organization to
develop the vast mineral and other resources
of the country. The most sanguine expecta-
tions seem not to be unreasonable, in view of
the rich silver mines which are known to ex-
list there, and in view of the fact that Quay
mas has one of the finest harbors in the world.
Further developments will doubtless be made
ere long, when arrangements which are be-
lleved to be in progress, are completed. In
the meantime let Mr.. Buchanan and the public
study out this new opportunity for national
expansion on grand scale; and let the pri-
vate fllibusters gnash their teeth.

Gs- The Black Republicans of st. Louis
have nominated Hon. F. z. BLAIR for reelec-
ton TO Congress, and adopted series OF re-
solutions advocating, amongst other things,
the extinction of slavery in Missouri, and the
removal of the negroes from the State. So
here we have the issue of anti slavery clearly
made up and presented to the voters in one
district, at least, in Missouri. 1t is indicative
of the confidence felt by the anti-slavery men
there, and the result should, and will be
locked to, with interest in all sections of the
The Abolitionists will regard the
reelection of Mr.. BLAIR as favorable omen,
bidding them to keep up their crusade against
slavery; whilst his defeat. unless so over
as to be disgraceful can give pro
slavery men no particular satisfaction. The
Americans and Democrats have candidates
also. 1t is gratifying to us to know that the
Americans have determined to stand by their
colors, having resisted all the temptations of
the new party propaganda

THE LAZIEsT.-During the summer of 1910
says the Knickerbocker, corn being scarce in the
upper country, and one of the citizens being
hard pressed for bread, having worn thread
bare the hospitality of his generous neighbours
by his extreme lazness, they thought it an
act of justice to bury him. Accordingly he
was carried to the place of interment, and,
being met by one of the citizens, the follow
ing conversation took place:
''Hollo, what have you got there?"
Poor old Mr.. 81
What are you going to do with him?'
Bury him."
What Is he dead? l had not heard it.'
''No, he is not dead, but he might well
be, for he has no corn, and is too lazy to work
for any"
That is too cruel for civilized people. I'll
give two bushels of corn myself rather than
see him buried alive.
Old S. raised the cover and asked, in a
dragging tone. as it shelled ?''
NO; but you can shell it."
"Drive on boys!''

The Montgomery Adrertiser denounces the
English Conference Bill, and the Confederation
supports it. They are democratic papers, and
represent the conflicting sentiment OF the par
ty-the former, the secession element; the
latter, the opposite element. Their contro-
versy has tendency to cut up the party into
factions, and tor this reason is unpleasant TO
leaders who would smother all independent
thought and speech for party good. We sas-
meet, however, that the controversy Will con-
tinue. Secessionism, like abolitionism, Is es-
ssntially aggressive. Beaten down by Gen.
JACKSON. in 1882, it has since become SO pow
erful that it shapes the policy and gives tone
TO the democratic party in the South, and, at
no distant day, it will root out from II aud
eradicate everything in the shape OF conser-
yatism. The old Union men and Union doc
trines of the notification era, will be remem-
bered only to be despised for what is now
fast becoming regarded, by the party OF to-day,
as base trucking to the usurpations and ty-
ranny of the general government This must
be bitter reflection TO the old jackson men
of Tennessee. who believed that in resisiiag
notification and recession, they were patriot
icaliy serving their country, and contributing
to the preservation of our free institutions.
But TO sneh OF them as will continue to act
, what has become sham democracy, there
be no escape from the further degrada-
of seeing, II their lives be prolonged, their
rty given over entirely to the most destEuc-
Se doctrines, and become rs thoroughly see
onal as the abolitionists of the North. They
can do nothing to redeem 1t, by Remaining IN
ms ranks, and sustaining its leaders--their

Land Grants I'm Northern Mexico.

The New York Times appears to be better
informed in regard to the alleged grant of
land in Northern Mexico, to citizens of the
United States, than the Mexican Minister at
Washington, and ventures TO discredit his
denial. The Tunes volunteers the following
information to this official, and 10 all whom IL
may concern:
We venture to assure Senior Robes that the
Mexican Government has made extensive
grants of land, not only in Sonora, but else
where. TO parties who are citizens OF the Uni
It'd States, and who intend TO insist on their
alleged rights, should there be any disposition
ON the part of the Government which Senior
Robles represents, 10 modest them, a circum-
stance, however, of which there has been no
further Indication than the statement of Senior
Robles already alluded Ia. Thirty-nine mil
lion acres of land-a large portion of il seem-
ing with mineral wealth-is no small acquisi-
ton for any private Company; but citizen
OF the United States, certain enterpfising
ex-sea-eaptain, by the name of lsham, now of
California eojourning, however, we believe,
in Washington. Is ia Possession OF grants from
the Mexican Government of double and treble
that amount OF acres. Some time during the
Presidency OF Comoafort, Captain isham was
in Mexico, and there entered into a formal
and binding contract with the Mexican Gov
ernment to undertake. and effect scientific
survey II the Mexican States Of Lower Cali
fornia, Sonora, chihuahua. Sinaloa, aud d.
ran 90, for which service certain compensation
aud privileges, differing bat Slightly with
reference 10 the different States were guara e-

terms OF the contract generally thus conveyed

effect the policy of the party. The best thing
they can do is, to abandon it whilst they can
do SO, interrupted by the dogmas of the Sc
cession school, and unite their fortunes with
those conservatives, who stand as a breakwa-
ter, resisting the tides of fanaticisIn and dis
uuionism, North and South. To this they
must come at last, or be overwhelmed and lost
in the prevailing element of their own party.
The sooner they elect to abandon their apos-
tate brethren the better for themselves and
their country.
