Cen. Cameron Cor .he rresIaener.

The Opposition in Pennsylvania are taking
ground, very generally, in favor of Senator
Cameron for the next Presidency. The Pitts
burgh Gazette. after mentioning numerous
counties that have declared for Cameron, re-
marks;
The counties embrace very large portion OF
the State. There can be no doubt that Gen.
Cameron is the preferences of the united Oppo-
8 ton in all the central and mountain count es,
and throughout the mining region; while in the
western and extreme eastern counties, all the
expressions yet made are in his favor. Many
counties have yet to hold their nominating
conventions and the current has been setting
so steady In the Generals favor, during the last
two weeks, that it is but reasonable to anticipate
general adoption of such resolutions as we
have quoted.
There are, of course, many excellent oppo-
nents Of the Administration who have other
preferences and as the time for selecting a
Presidential candidate draws near, these pref
erences will crystalize and assume tangible
shape; but the evidences of the popularity of
Gen. Cameron are now so clear and numerous to
enforce the conviction, both inside the State
and out Of it, that the delegation from Pennsyl
vania to the National Convention will be almost,
if not altogether, unit in his favor.
1t is too soon, of course, to be arranging the
Presidential programme, aud we have no aims
in that direction our purpose is simply to group
together the developments slready made in this
State, and direct attention to their significance.

New rrsnty VIII nIerIco

Mr.. McLane, who has arrived at Mobile, has
negotiated a new treaty with President Juarez,
of Mexico, which it is claimed will prove of con-
siderable advantage to this country. The treaty
it is stated contains certain important stpula-
tons in regard to the transit by Tehuantepec
which will form the basis of all our future inter
oceanic transit arrangements, including security
of the route, free passage of closed mails, ports
of deposit on either ocean, and neutrality in time
of war it also opens route from the Gulf Of
California to Arizona, and provides for com
mission to examine and settle the claims of oui
citizens against Mexico. For the privileges con
ceded to us we are to pay Mexico about five
millions of dollars, one half of which is appro.
priated to the settlement of claims and the other
will be paid to President Juarez as soon as the
treaty is ratified by the Senate.

NoW nounNhry nAaFAtN WAA "Aa'-"'H
The account We have published of the ocou-
alton Of theisland Of San Jaah by American
troops, under direction Of Gen. Harney, is not
materially varied by the fall details, and the
rumor to the effec. that thirty Americans had
been killed at San Juan in an attack made on
the Island by the British steamer Satellite, is
not confirmed.
The TTibune's Washington despatch says
that the points of the controversy between US
and Great Britain, so far as Gen. Harney's
course in Oregon is concerned, are stated in a
trustworthy quarter as follows;
That the Island of San Juan, east of the old
recognized channel of Harc, has been occupied
Is a sort of common ground by Americans, and
by party of the British Hudsons Bay Com
pany, which Company has now no legal exist.

The N. Y. Herald thinks the dispute will be
settled by peaceable compromise or by arbi.
tration. The simple question is as to which
Of the two channels between Vancouver's Island
and the main land was intended by the negct
tiatOrs to be the boundary. Neither, the Her
aid says, is specially designated. We claim
hat it is the Western one known as the Cana
de Havro. The British claim that it is the
eastern one, known as Rosario Strait. Tho
former would give us the Archipelago; the lat
ter would give it to the British. The question
of sovereignty of the Island of San Juan will
probably now be decided, and it should be.
The Toronto Globe takes the San Juan dis
pute quite cooly. 1t anticipates a keen con.
test, but no fightiDg-that if Brother Jonathan
says he must have the Island at all hazards he
will probably get it; or, perhaps the matter
will be allowed to lie over till there is batch
of little matters to be settled, and then Uncle
Sam may make a great merit in surrendering
San Juan, in consideration of getting some
thing worth ten times as much

Franking Dlmculty at washinston.

The dispatch of the 9th to the N. Y. Herald
says;
The attempt ofthe Washington Postmaster to
correct the alleged abuse of the franking priv
ilege is likely to give him much trouble. While
the Department asserts that no new regulation
has been made. the decision having been made
by Judge Campbell in 1856, confirmed BY Gov.
Brown, and resfiirmed by Postmaster General
Holt the city Postmaster has but recently COM
menced its enforcement, lie says he will en-.
force II alike upon all members. On the con.
tTary, the Republicans claim to have proofs
that it has only been enforced TO their detri.
ment, while documents, under the franks of
Democratic members who have been away for
months have been constantly passing through
the Post Office without inqusitiOn. They
threaten to bring out proof and substantiate
his paTtiality, in which case his removal may
be looked upon as certain Judge Holt is de-
termIned to enforce the regulations and correct
present abuses, and if the Postmaster has been
delinquent in the performance Of his duty
neither he nor the President will screen him =
1t is coatended by many that the law on which
the regulation is based refers only TO letters,
and was not intended 10 include printed matter.
The abuse has long been sanctioned by custom
aud has grown into an enormous tax upon the
postal revenues, and no doubt it SHOULD be
corrected. II the next Congress- wish to tax
the correspondence Of the country for election
eering purposes, it must shoulder the Tesponsi-
bility OF amending the laws 10 suit its purpose.

senator Douglas on Tho stump.

The Little Giant is stumping as well as
writing for the Presidency. He made a speech
in Pittsburgh on his way West, and addressed
large audience at Columbus on the 7th.-
Much Of his speeches are mere repetltions OF
his Illinois speeches made last year, with some
additions to suit the progress of the party on
the Slave Code and the Slave Trade. At Co.
lunbus he spoke an hour and three quarters,
nearly the whole speech being devoted to the
slavery question, showing by his own speech
very conclusively that "agitation" is the order
of the day in the Democratic party at least.
The late speeches of Mr.. Douglas disclose
the fact that the first step has already been ta-
ken towards incorporating the re.opening of the
Slave Trade as nav plank in the Douglas
platform. At Columbus he virtually defended
the opening of the Slave Trade as a retaliation
for the violation of the Fugitive Slave Act at
the North and declared that the men who had
resisted the fugitive slave law, had been the ins
struments of opening the ports Of the South to
unknown cargoes Of savages from Africa. He
further declared that the African slave trade
would not be stopped until the North carried
out the Fugitive Slave Law in good faith, and
insisted that the laws against the slave trade
should likewise be observed
This is a regular Douglas dodge to apologize
for, defend, and then embrace a great outrage
"Northern fanaticism," and "Northern agr,s.
sion" were the apologies offered by Douglas
for his successful attack upon the compromise
measures Of 1920. "Northern fanatics" refuse
to catch fugitive slaves, and ,forsoOth, according
to candidate Douglas, they are "the instruments
OF opening the ports of the South to unknown
cargoes of savages from Africa !" No marvel
that such shallow and inscriptions dema.
gogue should ridicule on Ohio Free Soil the
Ordinance of 's7 which consecraes it to Free
dom forever

The dates from Portland are to August 5th.
The official returns of the Congressional cleo
ton give the seat to Stout, the Democratic
candidate, by l6 majority, 1t is probable that
Logan will contest the seat at Washington, but
may not, as the expenses of such contest
would be very heavy.
Ex-senator DeIazon Smith is about to start a
new Democratic paper, to be called the Oregon
Democrat, at Portland. 1t is to be devoted to
the welfare of the Ex Senator and his claims
on the people of Oregon for reelection in
1860 to seat in the U. S. Senate. Delazon
stumped the State for Stout, and means to be
repaid for all he does.

The Harvest. of the World.

The year 1859 is one of general fruitfulness
in all quarters of the world. The crops in the
United States, as a who.e have seldom been
better. The harvests Of Canada are abundant.
Those of England and Ireland are represented
as excellent. In France the yield of wheat is
belown an average, but there are large reserves
of old grain. All over the Old World the re-
ports indicate breadstufis and enough to spare
Foreign demand for our grain, except at low
figures, cannot now be anticipated.

selling White People as slaves.

This is no new thing under the sun, bu.
it is seldom that tine facts are disclosed by
Southern papers. Here is the latest humia-
ting record
The Abbeville (Ala) Banner says that Pa
tienee Hicks, young woman about II years of
age who was held as slave by John GuilfoTd,
a citizen of Henry County, under bill of sale
made to him by one James @. Wilson, was
brought before Judge Williams. under a writ of
habeas corpus, sued out by Mrs. Casa Ann
Hicks, the mother of said girl who arrived in
the town of Abbeville on Tuesday, the 9th
inst On the trial of the case it was proved
that Wilson went TO the house of Mrs. Hicks,
in Columbus, Georgia, about the first of last
March, where he remained sick for several
weeks. On his recovery, he desired to marry
the young lady, and finding that her mother
was opposed to their marriage, he stole her
away and brought her to the house of the Rev.
JOhn Guilford, to whom he sold her for a slave
On his return TO Columbus, he procured her
brother, boy about Is years old, and sold him
to a gentleman in Georgia. The girl has work.
ed on the plantation, and is considerably sun.
burnt, which makes her appear rather dark
The girl Patience had an infant daughter. The
case was tried before Judge Williams of the
Probate Court, and the mother and child were
released from the service of Guiliord. The
Banner states, however, that the counsel for
Guilford have taken the case to the Supreme
Court, not with the expectation of again en-
shaving the girl, but with the expectation of
clearing Guilford of the costs imposed upon
him by the Judge of Probate.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-No action what
ever has yet been taken on the subject of the
Boston Post Office. Hence all speculation as
to what will be done in the premises is unre
liable
The Secretary of the Navy has ordered the
Engineer-in-Chief to require the contractors
for the machinery of the sloop-of-war Lancas-
ter to place on it a silver marine governor.
The Grand Jury has under consideration the
case of Peter S. Duval, of Philadelphia, which
was certified to the District Attorney for the
District of Columbia, by order of the House,
at the instance of the special committee to ex-
anime the accounts of public printing. 1t in
wolves charge of perjury.
Colonel Florence's health is nearly restored.
In reply to a note of George Mattingly, dat
ed to-day, the Postmaster General informs
him that Congress has, for the first time
since the organization of the government,
failed to make provisions for the post office
department. He adds, had all the members
of the next Congress been elected, the
President might, on the 4th of March, have
called an extra session, and the omission of
the late Congress been supplied, but it was
impossible to do so, without DISTINGUISHING 10
of the sovereign States. This was most I'M
fortunate. There ought to be no time when
full Congress could not be convened, and it is
hoped such state of affairs may never occur
again. Had the bill which failed made pro-
vision ony for the fiscal year, commencing
July l, there would have been obviously no
necessity for an extra session.
The deficiency on the Both of June will
amount to S4,385, 38l, nearly S750000 of which
being an unpaid balance accommodating on the
3lst December and 18th February, and which
can and will be paid by the Department within
go days from this date. The payment of the
principal will be made within 80 days. The
Postmaster General makes these statements to
show that it will be impossible to convene
Congress in time to meet the great bulk of
these responsibilities, without virtually ex-
Guiding from Congress the representation of
several sovereign States. In the judgment
of the President, the lesser evil was, to
wait until the first Monday in December,
when Congress will be full Contracts can
never be repudiated; after the amounts due
shall be ascertained, they become debts
which must be paid. On this, the con
tractors, if they desire, can borrow money,
and the lender could have no better security
Provision should be made, which would
amount to less than 100000 A system of
retrenchment, so far as practicable, is now an
imperative duty. BY the act of 1858, Congress
established six hundred and nnety-five post Of
flee routes, the service of which includes ST.
Paul and Puget's Sound route, established in
1852 but not yet operating. 1t has been esti
mated that these require an annual appropra-
ton of S604 1873 over and above the receipts
accruing therefrom. Not dollar has been ap-
propriated for the purpose. AS consequence,
though contracts for these routes have been
advertised and proposals received, they cannot
be put in operation till provision shall be made
for them by law.
