FRANCIS JOSEPH,
New YORK, May Is. The Galway Vindica-
tor OF the afternoon Of April 80 in addition to
the official dispatch received via st. Johns,
stating that the Anstrians had crossed the Ii
cino contains ~ Paris dispatch containing the
announcement that France had declined the last
offer of mediation rendered by Great Britain.
The reason assigned for declining this offer is,
that - have accepted it after the proposal of
Russia for Congress, agreed to by France,
Prussia and England, had failed, it would be
an insult to Russia to entertain the proposal of
England alone. %
1t is minated that the depreciation in fund
ed and share property in Great Britain since
the war was regarded as certain, amounts to
1850, 900.
The Herald's Washington correspondent says
Count Sartiges has let drop the expression
"that the United States would also be drawn
into it-that the Emperor had sure scheme
for that. There is but one scheme of the
Emperor by which this result could be brought
about, and it Is ths-to induce Spain to sell us
Cuba at time when the millions that she
would get for it would virtually flow into his
own exchequer, and when he felt certain that
some other power would attempt to prevent US
taking possession of the purchase"

The 0hsrlin Rescuers,

1t is alniost disheartnng to philanthroplsts
to be obliged to noto the. progress of wrong
over right-the. success of Oppression against
Freedom in our boosted land of Liberty. When
a shin with her officers and crew 60 to Africa
and steal IA parent from the children, child
from its parent, IL wife from her husband, a
sister from brother, and make up cargo Of
HELPLESS. innocent, unfortunate human beings,
and packed like dumb beasts into filthy holes,
take them to IL land of FREEDOM () to exc out
the rest of their distracted lives beneath the
savcholder's lashes and curses-whcn, We say,
when this is done, no law finds reproach,
much more IL crime for the act. But when n
number of men, prompted by regard fer tho
welfare of these same unfortunate Africans,
deirn to offer them crust, water and shelter,
on their escape from the bondage of Slavery,
this Christian Land finds them guilty of u
heinous crime, punished by imprisonment and
enormous fines.
What lesson this for the politician ! What
discouraging picture for the lover of Freedom,
who hoped one day to live in free land What
an incentive to the Press and voter t. speak
and act against Slavery! Need we ask il the
contrast Of the Echo Slave case and the Oberlin
Rescue trials comes to any enlightened mind
without determining that mind to work the
harder for the glorious principles which nerved
our Revolutionary fathers in their Declaration
of Independence? Need we ask them to con-
slider politically what party is aiding and abct
ing Slavery, and what opposing it

would seem that the AustriGns have missed
then only opportunity of striking decisive
blow, by their slow Progress. They cannot now
prevent junction of the French troops with
Victor Emmanucl's forces, and a single engage
ment cannot now end the war. We are evident
y jusa witnessing the opening scenes Of the first
act, of Il bloody drama, and where the desoat-
ing spectacle will end no one can tell. Noun-
teers were hocking to the Italian Standard from
all parts of the Peninsula The little State OF
Parma had driven oat the Grand Duchess who
ruled thcm, and followed the example oil Tus-
cany.
All Europe was arming, and who would take
sides in the conflict was not by any means GER
tain Immense failures were reported. Stocks
and cotton had declined and breadstufs wero
rising.
Prince GOrtschakof, in note to the British
Government had denied that the RuasoFrench
alliance was hostile to Europe, not treaty Of
fensive and defensive, but rather what the Daily
Necs claimed it to be. The whole tenor of the
news encourages the belief that the whole Con-
tinent will yet BE- drawn into the war.

PACKING THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION. The
Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press writes:
"Thc ofhce-holders of New England are IN a
great stew in reference to the election of dele
gates to the Charleston Convention referred
in one of my last letters to the approaching
election of the four delegates at large from
Maine, and now | am enabled to tell you that
the administration is hard at work trying to
pack the delegates from Vermont, the Demo
cratic State Convention of which state is shortly
to be held. While the democracy of other
states are hardly thinking of the matter of elect.
ing delegates, the administration is whipping
up Its dependents to carry the delegates Of Ger,
| tain states in which no democratic electora
vote can possibly be given in 1860; but | an
satisfied, from conversation | have just hat
with leading man from Vermont, that Their
will be resolute resistance madeto any attemp
to send an administration delegation from tina
state"

New England makes sorry show in the
present Congress Not a Democrat holds a seat
in either house and this unfortunate result is
attributed to a single folly. At the commence.
ment of 1854 there did not seem to be the ghost
of chance that the slavery agitation could be
successfully revived. About that time Mr..
Douglas interpolated into an old and innocent
territorial bill clause repeating the Missouri
Compromise Union Democrat.
"New England makes a proud show in the
present Congress- Her liberty loving sons
never had reason to be better satisfied with
themselves, since they drove the minions Of
British tyranny from their soil in the Revolu.
ton. And as our fathers had general thanks
giving when the last Red Coat disappeared
toward the South, 50 ought all the friends Of
free republican government to celebrate with
cannons and bon6res, thanksgiving and praise
the expulsion of every upholder of human slave
ry from the delegation of New England in botf
houses of Congress. Ind. Dem.

A%S~R-

Certain Democratic Journals affect to fine
great cause for exultation in the fact thatsth(
Republican party are divided upon the question
of requiring foreigners to reside in State two
years previous to their becoming voters, as il
Illustrated in the recent amendment to the Con
stitutlon of Massachusetts to that effect. VIZ
assure those journals that the amendment of a
State Constitution in point SO trivial will moi
prevent all Republicans from voting against
Slavery and the Democratic nominee for Pres
dent in 1860. We have no opinion TO express
upon the question Of Foreign Franchises il
Massachusetts has found restriction necessary
why the State has right to amend her Consti
tuition, and it is ill-timed in any Democrat tt
find fault, when not one Democrat in ten ii
the State thought it of consequence enough tC

Position CT the Belligerents,

The Italian question has probably before this
come to the stern arbitrmcnt Of WAY. A war
between any of the Chief Powers of Europe is
a matter of no small interest to the world, and
justifics the press Of this country in occupying
II large portion Of its space in informing its
readers of the questions at issue and the progress
of events. The position Of the belhgerents, the
last of prl, was briefly this 10000 soldiers
Of tho Austrian Army had crossed the Ticino,
the River that separates Sardinia from Austrian
Italy. This force could be increased for FED
operations in Italy to 100000. The Sandman
Army, regular, numbered 6O,COO, which had
been increased by volunteers from other Italian
States to so, eco or 10000. This force would,
Of course, be unable to successfully risk gen
eral engagement with the invaders, and would
be likely not to run such hazard, but, as the
Austrian forces advanced would fall back upon
some cntrenched place, and await junction
with the French army, which was hurrylng to
the scene Of action by every route. BY the irst
week in May, 100, eco French troops were in
Sardinia, and il the Sandman army had not
been cut to pieces before that time, the junction
of the TWO armies made force sufficient to take
the field. But as the French troops were hur-
rying to Piedmont by different routes, some be-
ing dispatched by ships to Genoa, and some by
the passes over the Alps there WIS a possibility
that the Austrian general might intercept the
several divisions, and fighting them thus in de-
tail might gain decisive advantages over them,
and prevent any junction with the Picdmontcse
force.
If the Austrians have pursued the policy that
would have been pursued by Napoleon, under
similar circumstances, they have before this
gained such decided advantages as leave Sar-
dinia entirely at their mercy. But we do not
look for intelligence of any such decisive en-
gagement by the next steamer. After having
in fact commenced host!lties, the House of
Hapsburgh was apparently hesitating at the
last advices. If Gems. Hess and Gyulai wait
till the French army pours into Piedmont by the
Alps and by the sea, the war will not be termi-
mated by battle. Tho Auetrans will then
have enough to do. Volunteers will then flock
in from all parts OF Italy to join the combined
forces. Already Tuscany has driven out he'
Grand Duke and decaEcd in favor of Piedmont
Other Italian States will follow this example
tilt the whole Peninsula is in arms. What the
Austrians do they must do quickly. The pres
tlge of the first decisive victory in this war will
be great.

"ANoTHER SLAVE STATE. This is the cry Of
the Southern papers at the prospect of division
of California. Perhaps such will be the case
but our own opinion is that Popular Sow
ereignty" will be found largely in favor of a
Free State, notwithstanding the bred Scott de-
cison, Congress, or the power of the South.
