Ea~ The Quincy Herald, aliuding to the
famous expression of Mr.. Buchanan, that
the people of a Territory, like those of a
State should decide the slavery question
for themselves, and the present Administra-
ton version of it, that he only meant that
they could decide the slavery question when
they formed State, says:
aft he had said the negro, like the white
man, ought to De permitted to vote and hold
Office, do you suppose it would have ever
occurred to any body that he meant the negro
should vote and hold Office when he came
to be a ,Ohite man Hardly, we suspect
So, neither, when he said the people Of a
Territory, like those of a State, shall decide
for themselves whether they will have
slavery or not, did it occur to anybody, not
even himself, that he meant the people of a
Territory might do this when they came to
be State. Not only did no such thing oc-

the mistake committed by General Harvey
has been rectifcd, yetthe question is brought
up. Both parties seem to be satisfied that
the joint occupancy shall be terminated,
which has once been confirmed by treaty.
Heretofore concession has been on the
side of the United States, and now, if the
right which we insist on can be called a
concession, Great Britain should demon
strate her Boosted inagnaninnity by yielding,
in her turn, this Insignificant issue. If,
however, we strike our colors in another
diplomatic contest, then our title to Florida,
Texas, the Louisiana purchase, and all of
the territory which we have ever acquired
by treaty may be successfully controverted
while we, the diminished dupes of multi
piled impositions, will find none SO low as
to do do us reverence.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2!

WASHINGTON, NOY. ~.
All the departmental reports are ready,
but Secretary Cobb's, which will be finished
tomorrow. They are much shorter than
last year; with the exception OF Secretary
Floyd's, the message is also one-fourth short
er. The treasury report will be a business
like document, confined mainly to an ex-
hibit of the financial condition of the gov
eminent, and the reasons upon which the
estimates are predicated Theories and
contested principles will be ignored entirely
Secretary Cobb emphatically denies hav-
ing suggested or favored the plan of organ
izing the House attributed to him, by which
the Democrats would vote for Southern
opposition candidate for Speaker. He says
if members would resist such an arrange
ment, or any other which repudiated or re-
fused to recognize the regular Democratic
nominee, it would be more satisfactory to
them.
The Democratic caucus of the Senate will
not be held for {. fortnight after the meeting
of Congress. There is an animated strug-
gle for printer N that body already. The
Office will be an unusually valuable one, as
the Administration is determined to send all
documents there not specially called for By
the House, and present laws forbidding any
pay for duplicates beyond actual cost of pa
per and printing. Senator Gwin and others
urge Mr.. Bowman, who is the President s
candidate, but leading Senators are opposed
to him, aud desire separate printing for the
press.
1t is questionable now, if a ratification of
the Chinese Treaty can be proclaimed with
out further action by the Senate. When it
was confirmed here, a certain day was
named for its exchange, but delays prevent
ed Mr.. Ward from consummating the ex-
change till several weeks after that time
If the President should decide additional &C
ton necessary, correspondence must be with
held till it is taken. 1t has now been pub
iished, that the Imperial Conmi ssioners
were prepared 10 receive and entertain the
British and Frencn ambassadors like MI.
Ward, and when The cause If their non-at-
tendance was understood, it was suggested,
through the meditation of Mr.. Ward, to re-
move tho difficulty, which probably would
