Constitution Of the United States. That
upon the question Of power, they have the
! argument with them, there can he no doubt
The black republicans claim that Congress
can prohibit slavery in the territories, de-
spite the Supreme Court. The power to
exclude, unless specifically given and re-
quired to be exercised, implies an entire
control over the whole subject. Douglas
does not deny that Congress can legislate,
hut contends that in 1854, when the han-
saS-Ncbraska law was passed, the party un-
altcrably committed itself TO the doctrine
Of Congressional non-intcrference with
slavery, in any of its phases, in the terrific
rics, leaving it for the courts TO determine
any question that may arise involving the
right to property in slaves. AT the time
that law was passed, it had never been ju-
dicialy settled what the powers of Con-
gress were over the subject. 1t was there
fore intended to give to the territories the
same powers in the premises that Congress
possessed and no more. Hence they de-
clarcd that. the local Legislature should
legiSlate npon all rightful subjects Of egis.
lNtion, and the people should regulate their
domestic institutions to suit themselves,
subject oUly to the Constitution of the Uni
ted States. If Congress had power to cx-
clude slaves, then they hnd-if Congress
had not, then they had not. Since that
bill passed, Southern Sena orS-some of
them-say the powers of Congress have
been defined-also of the local legislatures
therefore Congress should see that the
latter do not act contrary to that defini-
tion. On the other hand it is answered
that would be Congressional interference
against which tho democratic party is
pledged. Let the courts decide as provi-
ded for in the law itself, betTeen the slave
holder and the Legislature. llt fg.
So stands the debate In auy point Of
view SO far as results are concerned, the is
sue is q barren one. With oil such we
will have nothing to do. With such the
the democracy Of California will have moth
ing to do. As we said before, Kansas is
the territory where the question eau have
any practical bearing, aud there, long be.
fore Congress could be called upon TO act,
it will cease to have such bearing. The
great tide Of emigration setting in that d.
recton under the influence Of Pixies Peak
gold fever, before the meeting Of the next
Congress, will entitle it to two, instead Of
one member Of Congress, Under such cir
cumstances Kansas will come in as State
without opposition. rf rr
We, therefore, maintain that any one
who seeks or demands the Incorporation Of
an expression Of opinion, either affirmative
Iy or negatively, into the democratic plat.
form, upon this barren and senseless issue,
may be set down, Intentionally or other
wise, as on enemy Of the democratic party,
Such an effort will find no response among
the true, loyal and unwRverisg democracy
of California. Let the hlacks and bolters
then, discard all hopes Of division on this
score. They will certainly be disappointed.

The pallid brow, and locks Of white
Ny father! when they laid thee down.
And heaped the clay upon thy breast,
And let thee sleeping all alone,
Upon thy narrow couch of rest,

The soothing drops refused to roll;
And oh that grief is wild andLdeep
Which settles on the soul
But when l saw thy vacant chair

The trees beneath whose friendlyIshade
Thy trembling feet had wandered forth
The very prints those feet bad made,
When last they feebly trod the earth
And thought while countless ages fed.
Thy vacant seat would vacant stand,

Torn like vine whose tendrils curled

Those tears have gushed in later years,
For as the world grows cold around,

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.

The financial condition Of the Govern

Treasury is much gratlfed at the. prospect
Of the entire fulGlment of his predictions
Of the revival OF trade and revenue. The
receipts at the New York Custom-house
for the three months ending on the 3lst Of
March, are stated at about $40, 300, 900,
which, with the revenue colseted at other
ports, will furnish, il is believed, ON aggre-
gate amount not much, fiat all, below $l5,-

whether the country could absorb such a
quantity of dutiable goods as would be i'm

many dutiable goods, and Southern and
Northern States are well able 10 pay for
their consumption. The Western grain
growing States are still embarrassed by the
late financial revulsions, by the failure Of
their crops Of the last year But their
prospect for the coming season Of good
harvest is very fair. Our expectations Of

From Europe, Mcrico Central America, 5,c

The following summary of ne6s is com
piled from letter Of correspondent o
the San Francisco Herald, dated Woshing
ton, April 10th, 1859:
The Executive Government has received
lately very important advices from Ncara,
guuJ from Paraguay, and from Mexiro--
The State Department aud the Cabinet
have been kept very busy with these mat,
tiers for soae days.
PEACE WITH PARAGUAY.
The advces from our Minister TO Para.
quay, Judge Bowlin, are highly satisfucto-
ry lie has concluded m amicaLe and
proper treaty with President Lopez, by
which AL matters in dispute are to be set
tied
The Commission for the adjustment of
claims is to consist Of two ctizeus OF Para
tguay and two of the United States ...
Much credit is given to Gen. Urquiza,
the President Of The Argentine Republic,
for his disntercsted efforts in behalf Of
this dmicable Arrangement
Gem Jerez, the Minister from Nicara-
qua, laid before the Secretary of State, on
the 10th, the ratification by his govern
ment of the CaSs- YriSsari treaty. The
treaty, as ratified, is modified in an impor-
tant particular; but it appears that Gen
Lamar has assented to it. The original
treaty provided that the United-States
should have the right Of landing all armed
force on the Isthmus for the protection Of
American interests, and Of transporting
troops and munitions Of war across the
same. This wos, in tnet, the main object
OF the treaty ON our rpart.-,7 a,yg .. s..,l,.
The modification denies to US the right
Of landing force at our pleasure. 1t also
denies to us the right Of transporting
troops, unless with the assent Of Nicara-
qua, but permits ms TO land troops for the
purpose Of suppressing ii.busterers, IL is
wise that the like modification was adopted
in the British Transit Treaty, The sub,
ject has been considered in Cabinet coun-
ell. learned yesterday that the Presi.
dent has determined to reject the modi6-
cation, and to send the treaty back, de-
manding a compliance with the original
terms. .1. an 44.r s,aT.u- b..
PrioI to the reception Of the modi6cn-
ton, it was supposed that Nicaragua
would repudiate the treaty altogether, and
the President had determined 10 send a
strong naval force to the shores Of the
Isthmus to give protection to the interests
Of our citizens. The Instructions were to
be such as would encourage our naval COM
manders to correct "a grave error" by
luRdiug suilabe force to protect the
White or any other American Transit
Company. This determination, as / learn,
will be adhered to, and carried out. =
