Congressional Intervention.

In order to show where the Democracy
stand upon this question and what is the
position of u opponents we make an
extract below from the CORRESPONDENCE of
the Louisville Journal, relating to a de-
bate between DR., Peyton the Democratic
Candidate for Congress in the Calhoun
district, Kentucky, and Captain Jackson
the opposition candidate:
"Mr. Peyton then took the stand and
declared the Douglas Interpretation of
the platform was correct and he for one
supported him in it. Congress has no
power TO pass a law protecting the Slave
holder in the Territories. 1t could not
interfere with It in any way. He de-
clared that be was not an ultra Southern
Democrat, but a conservative man. Capt.
Jackson then asked him: "WilI you vote
for Douglas, if he should be the nomi-
nee of the Charleston Convention?n DIR.
Peyton replied, 81 WILL" Capt. Jackson
again asked: "NI you vote for a law of
Congress to protect slavery IN the Terri
tories 2" DR.. Peyton replied, 81 will net.
Will you vote for such a law, Captain, if
elected /" Captain Jackson answered
emphatically 81 will"
The Louisville Democrat, remarking
that it does not know how correct this re-
port may be, goes on to say that DIR.
Peyton is exactly right. He occupies
precisely the ground the National De-
mocracy have taken from the inception of
the controversy upon.his subject. They
are for leaving the settlement Of the
question to the people whose interests and
rights are Immediately and directly IN
volved. Their opponents, North and
South, are for the interference of Con.
gFess. And if 1t was not for the power
of the Democracy we should see a bitter
sectional wal raging between the two
classes Of interventionists, to determine
whether Congress should intervene &c
suppress or to protect slavery in the Ter
r%itories, This would speedily end in the
dissolution Of the Union and complete
anarchy.

WHEREAS, The people of the country Soutn OF
the Great Platte River agitated the prOpriety OF the
early organization Of all that part Of the Ierrtery
lying South of the Platte river and the Territory OF
Kansas into a State organization in thefall OF 700
and; Whereas, ThepeOpIe, BY vast maJoritIes. then
expressed themselves anxious % effect SAID Stateof
gahization; and, Whereaa, The peOpIeOf Kansas,
by their last Territorial legislature. submitted 20
the people thereof whether they would have Atom
sfitutiensl Convention, and memorialized Congress
to attach all the country lying South Of the flat0e
river to Kansas: and, Where's, the peopleof Kan
sas have determined to have a Constitutional Con

elect Delegates to said Convention, and have invited
the people Of the South Platte Country to send del

Resolced, That the organization Of a State Gov
ernment at the earliest practicable period Is earnestly
desired by the people South of the Platte river and
immediate steps be now taken to accomplish that

Resolced, That the best and most practicable means
towards accomplishing that end, is that the
people South Of the Platte make application wiz
the people of Kansas for the admission into the Union
underline Constitution to be adopted at Wyandottin
July.

should accept the invitation of the people of Kansas
to meet them in the proposed Constitutional Con

rangements for the election Of delegates to attend
said Convention it is thought advisable to hold {

To Bounty Land Warrants.

The following isa copy of an important
decision which has just emanated from the
General Land Office:
Sir: In reply to the questions PROFOUND
ed in your letter of the 23d inst, | have
to state:
l.. That the bounty land warrants issued
by the United States are declared, by the
act Of Congress approved June 8, 1853,
to be personal properly.
2. That such warrants cannot be sold
by an administrator of the estate of the
deceased warfantee for the payment Of
debts contracted by such warrantee.
3. That such warrants, when issued
during the lifetime of the w~arrantee, and
not disposed of by him, become, if he die
intestate, the property of bis heirs at law
in accordance with the law of domicil,
and cannot be attached and sold for the
payment of his debts. IF he die mites
tate, see, fifth paragraph following.
"A. NarraEts issued after the death Of
the ~warrantee, but upon proof filed during
his lifetime, become the property of his
widow, if there be one, and, if no widow.
then the property of his heirs at Law
without regard to their age.
5. The proceeds of the sale Of a war.
rant, made by an administrator, is the alb
solute property of the widow herself, oil
legatees, without regard to any debt con-
traetedby the5warrantee but the practice
of this Office has been to recognize assign.

MOrDhy'S Last Moves.

Close observers Of Mr.. Morphy's style
Of playing chess, state that he seldom
wins the first game, and, up to the eigh-
teenth or twentieth move, seldom shows
any superiority over his competitor. At
that stage of game, by some unexpected
maheuvre, he secures the advantage,
which he never after loses. He is now
engaged in a most singular tournament
at the Cafe de la Regence, Paris. Up
wards of a hundred amateurs have sub
scribed to give him a dinner, but, as a
preliminary measure to the act Of cour-
tesy, they have agreed to, play together
in FIVE oaIegories, until only one remains
victor for each division, when the five will
play with the great American champion,
at odds graduated according to the strength
of each category. The first series of
games has been already played, and the
others are being egularlypr6ceeded with.

The enha Question.

Early in the year, when Spain was
represented as being extremely indignant
at the prospect that this government would
make a proposition for the purchase OF
Cuba, the opposition supposed thai indig-
nation to be a proof positive of the i'm
practicability Of the scheme. The 4atesi
news from Spain conveys the the impress
sion that her anger has subsidized, and she
has received our new minister with greai
cordially but it seems from the follow
ing from New York Tribune that this j;
only another proof of the impossibility OF
buying Cuba. The Tribune saYs
THE cordial reception Of Mr.. Preston
at8ladrid disappoints expectations here
and destroys what lttle remained of the

certainly a most remarkable deduction

Scarcity Of Butter.

. We hear great complaint for want of
butter, "4Yhy don't the farmers bring ii
in?" sc. We have often. noticed that
when the price was low, the "cows go
dry,' grass is short" and "don't make
any butter to sell" Put up the price to
30cts OF 40cts, and it is strange how quick
the COWS rechperate; how suddenly the
grass grows finely, and how much butter
is made to sell. Try it.
