DOMESTIC SUMMARY.

From CALIFORNIA BY THE OVERLAND MAIL.
st. Louis, Apra 20.-The overland advices from
California to the 18th ult. state that the House
of Representatives of that State had passed a
bill to divide the State. Also, bill calling a
convention of delegates from California, Oregon,
and Washington, to consider plan for the
construction of raiload from the Pacific coast
to the Atlantic States.
The passengers by the mail coach report the
massacre of family of nine persons by the
Caddo Indians, in the vicinity of COoper's Camp,
Texas.
Business at San Francisco was very dull
The markets were generally unchanged.
Arrived-Ship Ocean Pearl, from Baltimore.
LATER FROM Observation-Disclosures STEAM
2l.-The steamship Coatzacoalcos, of the Lou
morning, after q remarkably short passage,
bringing advices to the 9Th instant, from San
Francisco, which is eight days later than those
previously received.
The steamship John l.. Stephens, brought
down over 100000 in gold, which is on its
way to New York.
A terrible accident had happened to one of
the ferry boats at San Francisco on the Sd in
slant, which caused much excitement at the
time in the city. Six persons were instantly
killed, and between twenty and thirty wounded,
some dangerously. ~t /
The mining prospects for the spring are very
encouraging, and on the subsistence of the wa
ters a large yield is anticipated.
Trade at San Francisco continued dull, and
most descriptions of goods had declined, but
still there was fair prospect for an unusually
large spring business.
The Vanderbilt line of steamships, which
was temporarily Withdrawn, have again re-
sumed operations.
Oregon.-The news of the admission of Ore
gon as State into the Union had caused little
or no excitement The State Government has
not yet been formed, but active measures were
in progress to that end.
Fraser Ricer.-Quite a number of parties
are being made up at San Francisco and mum.

us claim no more than we are entitled to under
the Constitution and then, what we do claim,
let us stand by, like men who know their rights,
and, knowing, dare maintain them

here, either these are the sentiments | now
entertain as ] did when they were deliveed be-
fore the people of Powhatan. What fault do
they find with this +? Do they endorse it or re-
pudiate it? If they endorse it, even-handed
justice requires them to say so. If they con-
denim it, justice to themselves, as they are re-
solved to make war on me, requires that they
should point out wherein they differ from me.
In this connection it may be proper to add,
for the information of all who feel an interest
in my record, one short paragraph from my
African Church speech, in 1856, relating to the
same subject; and from the several extracts
herewith furnished, think few will have any
difficulty in ascertaining my position the Sla-
very question. Here is the extract referred to /:
s. My position on the question of Slavery is
this and, so far from wishing to conceal it,
desire it should be known to all. Muzzles were
made for dogs, and not for men and no press
and no party can puta muzzle on my mouth,
so long as value my freedom. | make bold,
then, to proclaim that am no Slavery propa-
gandist. l will resort to all proper remedies

but will neither assist in nor encourage any
attempt to force it upon reluctant people
anywhere and still less will justify the use of
the military power of the country to establish
it in any of the Territories. If it finds its way
there by legitimate means, it is all well but
never by force, through any instrumentalty
of mine. am myself stakeholder, and all
the property my children have in the world
is slave property, inherited from their mother /;
and he who undertakes to connect my name,
or my opinions, with Aboltionism, is either a
knave OF fool, and not unfrequently both.
And this is the only answer | have to make to
them. | have not connected myself with any
sectional party or sectional question; and so
help me God, | never WILL
Is there any other portion of my record
wanted, gentlemen? If so, let it be called for,
and it shall be promptly supplied.
Respectfully, JOHN M. Boris.

POLITICAL INTEL tGENCE.

Mr.. Forsyth, of Ca, lately United States
Minister to Mexico has been Invited to partake
of public dinner at Augusta, in that State.
In his letter declining the honor, he complains
that while the President and Secretary Of State
gave their official appreciation to his diplomacy
in Mexico, they at the same time recalled him.
He thinks that his extreme devotion to South
ern interests was the cause of his recall 1t is
certainly hard case, that Southern diplomat
should be required to represent the whole
country abroad, instead of his own section
and we are 10th to believe that this Admins
tration would ever think of Imposing such a
condition upon its represent; tives at foreign
Courts.
Mr.. Forsyth hatters himself .hat if his treaty
had been ratified, Mexico wtald never have
been cursed with the misrule lT Zuloaga, and
that we should have been nl,w far advanced
on the road of commercial tercourse, infu-
ence, and Americanization." s
The Opposition IN K NTUcKY. = The
'fOppostion party in KentA ky has outbid
the . Democracy for the sup. ort of the slave
interest The Opposition c: ndidate for Gov
ernor, Mr.. Bell insists that Congress is bound to
protect Slavery in the Territof IS. The Louis
Vile Journal, which has hither . taken rather
liberal view of politics, now adj COATES this ultra
Pro-Slavery position. 1t affef.ed great deal
Of horror at the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise, which excluded Slavery land now it goes
to the opposite extreme of insisting upon the
establishment of Slavery.
The " Democratic " Candida for Governor
Magoffin, it is said, takes the. position of Mr.
Douglas, as qualified by the bred Scott de-
cison.
We trust that the Opposite, thus debased
and prostituted, in Kentuckysswill be utterly
annihilated.

The attention of Western nations has been
drawn to the Celestial Empire by the recent
events which have occurred there, and every
thing tending to add to the knowledge of the
country and its inhabitants will doubtless be
received with interest by your readers.
The social condition, habits, and customs of
the people, industrial pursuits, laws and gov

every man that is out of the grave, and capable

the other hand if there happens to be little
rain, or any other trivial obstacle presents itself,
Republicans stay at home. William Goblet
used to say, that IAN Englishrnan's brains are

prosperity, men are careless about their rights,
so that their animal wants are supplied at pres
ent. This will apply to some arts of Ohio.

GAMING DURING THE LAST CENTURY.-Wal-
pole, in his Memoirs, describing the moral con-
dition of society at his time, says
GAS the gaming and extravaganza of the
young men of quality was now arrived at a
pitch never heard of, it is worth while to give
some account Of it. They had club at one
Almack's, in Pail Mall, where they PLAYED only
for rouleaus of $50 each rouleau and gener-
ally there was 100000 in specie on the table
Lord Holland had paid above 100000 for his
two sons. Nor were the manners of the game
sters, even their dresses for play, undeserving
notice. They began by pulling off their EN-.
broidered clothes, and put on frieze greatcoats
or turned their coats inside outwards for luck
They put on pieces of leather (such as worn by
footmen, when they clean the knives) to save
their lace ruffles and to guard their eyes from
the light and to prevent tumbling their hair,
wore high-crowned straw hats with broad brims
and adorned with flowers and ribbons masks
to conceal their emotions when they played at
quinze. Each gamester had a small neat stand
by him with large rim, to hold their tea, or a
wooden bowl with an edge of ormolu to hold
their rouleaus. They borrowed great sums of
Jews, at exorbitant premiums. Charles Fox
called his outer room, where those jews waited
till he rose, the Jerusalem Chamber. His
brother Stephen was enormously fat; George
Selwyn said he was in the right to deal with
Shylocks, as he could give them pounds Of fiesh.'
In three nights, the two brothers, the eldest
not twenty five, lost f32,

""AFtH'-Ih e same correspondent,
'''' Speaking OF the probable exclusion of Sla-
'ery from Kansas, says:
here was never the least ground for the
opposition that the Territory was adapted to
I5 employment of slave labor, and it will, ere

o.ntr KIND OF labor. Excepting the margins OF
r45yer-course5 the Territory is barren, and ut
S 'E incapable OF supporting a population,
NAile or black, free or Slave"
Alter the herculean efforts made by the
f'lAsandlsts TO carry Slavery into Kansas
anu 'Aeir dsgraceful failure, it may be some
''ASO'auon TO be informed that the country is
Utterly uninhabitable.
