from the District, and at the same time provide
proper securities for the removal or affective
control Of the free colored population, | am not
prepared to say that the South ought to resist the
measure. 1t would depend upon the spirit and
intention with which it might be proposed,
repeat, that for myself should be rejoiced, as the
representative of slave State, if this question
could now be settled"
His tender regard for "Northern sensi5i1ittes,' y
leads him to say that
"There are some very fair and reasonable
considerations which should dispose the South to
liberal course on this question OF the slave trade
in the District. This IS the seat Of the National
Government. The Gentlemen of the North are
compelled to meet here at this common and
central point for legislation 1t is not matter of
choice with them, whether they come as members
of Congress- or upon business connected with the
Government They must come or renounce the
benefits of the National Government.-Theyc COM
plain, they appeal to as they say that Mas traffic IS
ofcnsire to them" THE idea of human beings,
not criminals in chains, kept in these slave pens,
within the verge of the Capitol, wounds their
sENsIBILITIEs."
Mr. Bells extreme regard for the tender
srusiJiZties Of Northern fanaticism involves a
direct blow at the right of property in slaves
Nay, more. 1t stamps an odium upon the
institution which expels it from the national
capitol. He says to the Southern master, one of
the ''incidents" to your property is so extremely
offensive, ''that in Difference to the sensbties of
our Northern friends you shall not come within
''the verge of the capitol of the Union.
The Northern man may trade in horses, but the
traffic in negroes, being in Mr. Bells opinion,
based upon something other than right of property
in slaves Mr. Bell would have interdicted the sale
of negroes within the District Of Columbia Nay,
more Mr. Bell would have the 'seDsibilities Of
the Northern members protected by the abolition
of slavery and the constitutional question weighs
but little when compared with the "sensibities'
of the Northern people. IF President, with
Black Republican Congress, the "sensbities' of
the North will be respected, and the veto power
never exercised by one who resigned Cabinet
appointment because President Tyler exercised it.
Such is Mr. Bells record upon the abolition of
slavery in the District of Columbia. 1t is not the
improvised charges of partizan journal, made to
suit the exieences Of Political campaign, but it
is made up of facts, selected from cotemporaneous
history, and vouched for by the Register Of Debates
Rentons "Thirty Years Views, the "Congressiona
Globe" and the political Text Book Ga work
which we recommend to all electors, and which
Messrs. West and Johnston have laid upon our
table,
This is the first course of that feast to which
have been so repeatedly invited by the Richmond
"Whig"-the nausea which it created units US at
this time to do justice to the remaining courses

LATER FROM CALIFORNIA!

Interesting from japan from ca'""'
ST.. .JosErn's No. Aug. 6:-The Pony Express
from San Francisco, on the 25th ult., arrived here
last night with the following news:
SAN Francisco, July 25.-S o'clock a: NJ
Business is depressed. There have been onl y
few small transactions at former quotations. The
telegraph line has been nearly completed to
point 4SO miles east of San Francisco. The Over
land Mail, with $4,000 letters from st. Louis,
arrived at San Francisco on the 24th July. The
Pony Express, with ten days later news from the
same city arrived on the night ofthe 25rd Between
twenty and thirty tons of silver ore are on the way
from the Washoe mine. The shipments thence
average 100 tons per month. A Spanish brig from
Annoy to the Gincha Islands, with Coolies, anchored
in brakes Bay on the 23rd. Owing to the
suspicious movements of her captain, the revenue
cutter was despatched to arrest her as SLAYER and
for not entering at the Custom House.

NO CHANCE FOR BELL.

From the New York Journal of Commerce VIZ
clip the following statement as to the relative
strength of Bell and Everett at the North:
"BELL AND EVERETT AT THE NoRrH.-A
Southern editor asks US to give list of the Bell
and Everett papers in the non-slaveholdiDg States
1t is out of power to do SO; but the number is
very small To the best of eur knowledge and be.
lief, the Boston Courier is the only one in New
England In the State OF New York are the New
York express" of this city, the Ontario "Reposi.
tory and probably few others. There are also
we presume, two or three in New jersey. As At
present advised, we should say there are not above
a dozen in the non-slayeholding States. The
strength Of the party is at the South but as there
in every State the Bell party is smaller than the
Democratic party, and in most Of the States small.
er than the Breckenridge party, it would seem to
be part of wisdom for them to unite with the lat
ter; and SO defeat Lincoln, which is their prnc.
pie aim, as it should be of all national men,
There is not the slig htest probability that Bell
and Everett will get an ELECTORAL vote North of
Mason and Dxon's line, unless by cooperating
with other parties as in the case of New jersey,
where three Bell men are on the Democratic
ticket

ANOTHER LETTER FROM VIM. l..
YANCEY.

The Montgomery Advertiser publishes a letter
from Mr. Yancey three columns long. In conclu-
sion he thus explains his Slaughter letter.
"The seventh allegation is that | wrote the
Slaughter letter. | did write it. 1t was private
mot designed for publication, and therefore its
expressions are loose, and not well weighed as
| would have desired. Still, there is not idea
in it that do not entertain.
"But the letter does not urge disunion-does
not advocate disruption. either of the Democracy
or of the Union. Mr. Slaughter had written to
me urging ME to abandon the Democracy, as the
great obstacle to southern Union. | replied refils-
ing to go into his scheme He called the Demo-
cratic party Augcan stable, and his scheme
would clean it out | denied that his scheme
could succeed. He predicted good from it's over
throw The letter refuses assent to his prediction
TO wean him from his chimerical and short-sight
cd policy, suggested to him to aid in extending
the League; to destroy the party, which in the
same letter | had refused to give countenanee to;
but to elevate and purify the true men Of the
country. And for what purpose? The Douglas
papers and orators, following the idea given by
Mr. Douglas himself, answer and say that pro-
claimed my purpose in that letter to be 'to preeip
itate the cotton States into revolution" /
say this is gross perverton of the letter and spir
it of that document. The letter itself says that
the purpose was prompt resistance on the
merit aggression that at a proper moment, this
resistance can be made. .-. ..-.@ .......
This and this alone. is the offence in that let
ter When it written, had in my head
scheme of disunion. | have had none since-l
have none now. Then, as now, was for using
all proper means for maintaining our rights within
the Union-then, as now, to elevate purify and
bring the Democratic party to strict maintain
Of the full measure of constitutional rights,
and to ignore all further compromises. To this
end have honestly labored, up to this hour. The
whole tone and tenor of that letter is to prepare
for enforcing the platform of the United States
Convention of Georgia, on the next aggression, at
proper moment. When that hour arrives [ shall
be found prepared. That did not have in view
the destruction of the party and of the Union at
Charleston is made evident of the fact, that when
its disruption complete, on the adjournment
at Charleston by the secession of eight Democratic
and cotton S.ases-so far from dscouatenanciny
all efforts to heal the breach-so far from endeav-
orig to widen il, and thus make it perpetual-so
far from exulting it, and looking upon it, as
charged, and falsely charged. in the eighth and
last allegation, 'as the period which was looked
forward to (by me) when the Democratic party
and the Union were to be overwhelmed in one
common run-the country we'll knows that as
soon as well-srounded hope OF harmony being re-
stored was held out, I seized upon that hope, and
used all my influence with reluctant friends to OBJ
tain union Of the Democracy at Baltimore"
