THE MEXICAN TREATY.

The Washington States sums up the ad-
vantages of this Treaty (not yet ratified by
the Senate) as follows:
In the first place. it will increase our com
mefeeto the amount Of S25,000,00O per
anum- commencing with the day that its
stipuations are operative.
In the second, 1t will speedy secure to us
pure silver currency instead of the adul-
terated coin which is being accepted in the
payment of debts as lawful tender.
In the third, it will prevent an otherwise
inevitable war between the two countries
war upon which we should expend, perhaps,
100000, 1000, without deriving a solitary
substantial benefit.
In the fourth, it will enable us to exact
good neighborhood from Mexico.
In the fifth, it will breathe the breath of
new life into now expiring republic, and
place it by the side Of orderly nations.
In the sixth, it will open wide field for
the consumption of the manufactured pro
ducts of the United States
In the seventh, it will secure to us in per,
petuity three invaluable railroad routes to
the Pacific
In the eigth, it will protect our citizens
residing in Mexico from outrages on account
of the religious tenets which they cherish,
enabling them to erect churches and other
houses of worship Of their own.
In the ninth, twill, for all practical pur
poses, render the Gulf of Mexico an Amer-
can lake, covering it with vessels sailing un.
der the flag of our country.
In the Tenth, it will prevent the annexa
tion of any more Mexican territory to the
Union, except perhaps Lower California
In the eleventh, it will provide for the
just claims of our citizens against Mexico
claims, the adjustment of which have toe
long been neglected.

APATBIoTIc LEADER FouND.-Some time since,
the Raymond Gazette advertised for patriotic
leaders, hut none were found in the ranks of his
party to respond to the call. After waiting a
reasoaaJle length of time, the Editor concludes to
become leader himself aud is now in the field
attempting to gather the scattered forces Of
Samuel, and will no doubt make desperate ef-
fort to lend them on to victory. We give our
contemporary full credit for patriotism in attempt
ing this difficult and tto-be eaccomplished,under-
taking. We know it is patriotism alone that
prompts the desperate step. lie cares not for the
flesh pOts--the lOtVes and Gshea or emoluments of
office but it is purely from desire to render
"the State some service" that he offers his name
for the office Of Secretary Of State. 'Tis pity
the State should be deprived Of such valuable SER
vices, but it does not require prophet to foretel
that he will be beaten about twenty thousand
votes, What startling example Of useless
and wOsteful expenditure Of patriotism does his
case present.

DEFENCE OF THE TEXAS FRONTIER.
ACTION OF GEN. HOUSTON DrsAPPEOvED.
TTeIeeraph ed to the N. o. picayune. |

Telegraph ed to the N. 0. Picayune.l
WAsHINGToN, March 4.-The President
disapproves of the action taken by Gen.
Houston in calling out volunteers in Texas
to defend the frontier.
1t is now positively stated that the Presi,
dent has ordered large reinforcement Of
United States troops into Texas for the pro,
lection of the frontier from further outrages
The report that unconditional orders had
been sent to the commandant of the troops
in New Mexico and elsewhere, to pursue
Cortina and his band, and any other band
of marauders, and capture them, whether
in or out of Mexico, is incorrect, although
negotiations are now pending between ouI
Government and that of Juarez by virtue Of
which it is expected that permission will
shortly be granted for our troops to march
into Mexico
1t is believed, however, that Gen. Houston
will not wait for the Federal troops, but
will accept the services of as many voluu
teers as can be speedily equipped, and march
them to the frontier, and into Mexico if nee,
essary.
A report is in circulation that Gen. Hous-
ton intended taking command of the expe-
dition and marching into Mexico with a
sufficient force to conquer and hold the
country as far as Monterey.
This report has gained some credence
from the report that Major McCulloch, OF
Texas, had received orders from Gov. Hous,
ton to return Immediately to Texas to take
command of regiment Of volunteers.

WHAT'S IN A NAME--A person by tue
nome of Frederick Southgate Brown has
petitioned the Louisiana Legislature to allow
him and his family to change their names.
The reason given for this silly request is
that there is an undying stigma attached to
the name of "Brown" consequent upon the
actions of "Old John" at Harper's Ferry.
The following is the bill upon which the
Legislature are acting:
Whereas, The acts of late John Brown,
of abolition notoriety, have affixed stigma
upon the name of Brown, which renders it
intolerable to the parties herein named; there

WHO ARE TIE OPPOSITION ,

Some of tie Know Nothing papers here in the
South are becoming jubilant over the fancied
victory that the Opposition will achieve over the
Democracy in the coming Presidential contest
We would like to enquire, if it be not deemed
inexpedient, who constitute the Opposition party?
In the North, there is powerful and well-organ-
lied party called the Black Republicans, which
is the only opposition the Democracy have there
In the South there is small fragment of what
was once called the great American party which
has not a majority in any of the Southern States,
and in some Of them, has scarcely corporafs
guard-totay poweress for good or evil Then,
when men here among US talk so hopefully about
the triumph the Opposition W Il gain, who 90 they
mean Certainly not the little, Eitiful fragment
of party in the South above referred to- Per-
hap5 they are like the gascvnading loafer who
was boastiug in a coffee. house in New York, that
he and John Jacob Astor could raise more money
than any other two men III the State Some one
who knew his after poverty, remarked to him
that he couldn't raise copper The fellow ee-
ing that he was caught, replied 81 know I can't,
but, by Jupiter, my friend Astor can raise pile. "
Now the Southern Opposition cant do anything
in the way Of raising President, but they think
the Black Republicans can do wonders.

MILITARY EQUIPMENTS FOR THE SOUTH
The N. Y. journal Of Commerce, referring
to the movement in the South to increase
and improve the Volunteer Companies, since
the John Brown raid, remarks:
The best proof of the depth and earnest,
ness of Southern feeling on this subject may
be found in the immense orders which are
received from the South by our military
manufacturers for all kinds of equipments.
One firm in this city has been obliged to
put on 300 extra hands lately, to meet the
demand Of knapsacks, belts, cartridge boxes,
priIning wires, and other military appliances,
Gun and pistolsdealers in this city and else
where in the North, also derive large bene-
fits from the Southern martial excitement.

EXTRAORDINARY DEvELoPMENT.-A New
York letter says; "You remember that some
yearsgsince deadly disease called oidium pre-
vailed among the French vineyards and
proved fatal to the claret. The crop of 1854
was supposed to be free from this disease,
and large quantities were imported to this
country. The other day gentleman we'll
known in this city, received note from his
wine merchants, asking him to return large
supply of the wine Of that year, which had
been untouched in his cellar for two years.
It turned out that this wine marked by all
SYMPTOMS Of oidium, a desease hitherto con.
fined to the wine. Its development in the
wine itself is thought to be very singular.

ORIGIN OF SLAVERY.

Mr.. Bancroft, in the first volume of his
history of the United States, gives an ac,
count Of the early traffic of the Europeans
in slaves. In the middle ages the Venetians
purchased white men, Christians and others,
and sold them to the Saracens in Sicily and
Spain. In England the Anglo-Saxon nobil
ity and their servants as slaves to foreign
ers. The Portuguese first imported negro
slaves from western Africa into Europe in
l442. Spain soon engaged in the traffic,
and negro slavery abounded in some places
of that kingdom. After America was dis
covered, the Indians of Hispaniola were i'm,
ported into Spain and made slaves. The
Spauiards visited the coast Of North Amer
lea and kidnapped thousands of the In
dams, whom they transported into slavery in
Europe and the West Indies. Columbus
himself kidnapped 500 native Americans and
sent them into Spain, that they might be
publicly sold at Seville. The practice Of
selling North American Indians into bondage
continued two centuries. Negro slavery was
first introduced into America by Spanish
Shareholders who emigrated with their me-
groes. A royal edict of Spain authorized
negro slavery in America in 1913. King
Ferdinand sent from Seville fifty slaves to
labor in the mines In 1881, the direct
traffic in slaves between Africa and His.
PAMELA was enjoyed by royal ordinance. Las
Casas, who saw the Indians vanishing away
before the cruelty Of the Spauiards, suggest
ed that the negroes, who alone could endure
severe tolls, might be further employed.
This was 1913.
Sir John Hawkins was the first English
man that engaged in the slave trade. In
1852 be transported large cargo Of slaves
to IIispaniola In 1857 another expedition
was prepared, and Queen Elizabeth protect,
ed and shared in the traffic. Hawkins, IN
one of his expeditions, set fire to an Alr.
can city, and out of three thousand inhab-
itants, succeeded in seizing two hundred and
sixty.
JAS Smith, Of Boston, and Thos Keyser
first brought the colonies to participate in
in slavery. Iu 1864 they imported cargo
of negroes. Throughout Massachusetts the
cry Of justice was raised against them as
malefactors and murderers; the guilty men
were committed for the offence, and the rep.
resentatiyes Of the people ordered the negroes
to be restored to their native country at the
public expense. At later period there
were both Indian and negro slaves in Massa-
chusetts
In 1888 Dutch ship entered James river
and landed twenty negroes for sale. This
was the epoch of the introduction of slavery
into Virginia For many years the Dutch
were principally concerned in the slave trade
in the market Of Virginia.

EMIGRATION TO TExAs-The Houston
Telegraph of the 9th ult., saws the influx
of settlers into Texas is sill very large.
Every boat from New Orleans is crowded,
and it is estimated that not less than twelve
to eighteen hundred persons arrive in the
State every week by way of the Gulf.
Within the week previous, fully five hundred
slaves were brought in.

port Journal. Last week a respectable trades

1t has often been remarked, there are none o
blind those who oeiA not see, and this, homely
adage is fully illustrated by some of our 0pposi-
ton eotemporaries 1t is said by some that
Southern Democrats are in favor of "Slave
Code" This very term is used by the ''little
giant" Douglas, and the Black Republicans, to
render odoas to the people Of the North, as well
as a few in the South the position of the true
national Democracy; and it is with deep regret
and undisgHised Indignation that we see some of
the Opposition journals ringing the changes on
this phrase-'the Slave Code"-for apparently
the same purpose. Now, we think we un derstand
the position of Southern Democrats upon this
subject. and we are proud to know that there are
thousands of genuine Democrats in the North
wko coincide with us in opinion. In the first
place, we maintain that, under the Constitution,
the citizens of the Southern States have equal
rights in the Territories with citizens of her sister
States of the Nortl that slaves are property,
and il is the bounden duty of the Federal Gov
ernment to protect the owners of slaves in the
peaceful enjoyment Cf their property, if they
should see proper to take them to the Territories
Some, We know, are honestly of the opinion tina
legislation is unnecessary to secure this right
while others, rs honestly, differ from them, 1t
seems that the action OF the Democratic Senator's
who met in caucus for the purpose, if possible, of
hapmOuizing these two discordant elements in the
true national Democratic party, preparatory to
4,n bott AZ
which is to come off next fall, has not met the
approval of some of the opposition journals. This
is not at all astonishing to US. No matter what
these Senator'S might have done, it would have
been condemned, by these journals, and they are
now sorey gricved Mt the prospect of that har
mOny in our ranks which will alone secure us a
victory over these traitors and enemies of the
Constitution, the Black Republican party. The
resolutions adopted by che Senatorial caucus are
not precisely what wewouId have them, but they
are such as we can be satisfied with. They de-
clare, in explicit terms, that if time and expert
ence should demonstrate that additional legisla.
ton is necessary for the protection of slave prop
erty in the Territories, then it is the duty of
Oongress 10 pHST Fuou Jaws as may De deemed
