A Barrain and Sale PropositIon.


Commodore Stockton, of New Jersey, has
written letter on political matters in which
be puts forth proposition that he imagiDes
will settle all political differences o. opinion
between the North and South. His plan is for
the two sections TO bribe each other--the North
to consent to have slavery forced upon the
Territories, in consideration Of which the South
is to eoncede protective tariff and specific du-
ties The following are his words:
sT am for peaee--I for the Union-and therefore
Tor concession IL fcoucession will peace The
North Is infuriatsd with passionate almost irregons

tions Of the Fugitive Slave Law. 3d. To recognize the

The gallant Commodore is evidently far be-
hind the times. His panscea for reconeiling
sectional differences is exactly the platform
which President Buchanan has been advocating
for the last year or two with SO little sue.
cess. Both the Commodore and the President
seem to have stood still for tho past fifteen or
twenty years, while the world has been moving
along. The truth is, large majority Of the
people OF the Northern States are, at the pres
ent time, opposed to protective tariff; and
although the Representatives Of few manu-
featuring districts might favor a measure cal-
culated to protect the interests Of their own
constituents, yet not one Of them would vote
for Congressional slave code in order to Sc
cure the passage OF a protective tariff bill. On
the other hand, however loud the Representa-
tives of the Gulf States may clamor for the
protection of slave property in the Territories,
they would not vote for tariff to protect a
few Northern manufacturers, even il by SO do
ing they could drive bargain for the enact
ment of Congressional slave code for the Ter
ritories.
The opinion which Commodore Stockton
graVely announces, that the country is now on
the eve OF a civil war. and that the impending
conflict can only be averted by such miserable
bargain and sale concessions" as he proposes,
is too absurd to merit serious attention.

OF the States yet to elect, Douglas Is certain
to have the ten votes Of Michigan and Iowa,
and the chances are more than even that he
will carry Missouri, Maryland, New Jersey,
Delaware, Connecticut aud Rhode Island. The
six States last named have In the aggregate 3s
votes, and In sase 2s Of these are cast for
Douglas he will have q majority over all other
candidates on the frst ballot.
Some Of the delegates from Tennessee and
Kentucky are also known to favor Douglas as
their second choice, and his nomination may
now be regarded ~ forgons conclusion. II
the two-thrds rule is again adopted, II will re-
qure 2o2 votes to nominate; but the rules are
established BY majority Of the delegates, aud
Douglas will have friends enough in the Con-
vention to establish the rule that majority
shall nominate, and this they will do If such q
course should be deemed advisable. The fact
that Douglas is the only man who can be nom-
mated with certain prospect Of success, will
give him much strength in the Convention, and
bring to his support many Of the conservative
delegates from the Southern States.

The statistics include only the towns proper,

that an accurate census would show that both
places have larger population than given
above. At the last Presidential election, 2l0o
votes we're cast at the Nevada precinct, and
over 1000 at Grass Valley; and the population
Of these places have certainly not decreased.

Our English files last received devote col.
umns to report Of a very curious case that
had come up before the Central Criminal
Court London, which, as exhibiting a peculiar
episode OF life in London as well as bringing
out some new law points, it is not without some
interest here.
Some time since the Rev. Mr.. Hatch cbon.
lain to the Wadsworth House of Correction
was convicted of gross crime upon girl only
eleven years OF age, named Mary Eugenia
Plummer, and was sentenced to four wears i'm.
prisonment at hard labor. AT tile time of his
trial his counsel did not deem the evidence
against him as of any consequence, neither
did the prosecuting attorney or the Queens
counsel, and Mt their suggestion the testimony
for the defense was dispensed with. But con.
trary to the expect ton of the attorneys upon
both sides Of the case the jury found the de.
PENDANT guilty. So well satisfied were the
judges and Queens counsel OF the reverend
gentleman's innocence, that application was
made to the crown for pardon, for no appeal
could be had, as under the law Of England, if
no defense is made on the trial. no appeal can
be taken. Declarations were presented TO The
secretary Of state in behalf OF the convicted
clergyman, and at Ills suggestion charge of
perjury was instituted against the little girl,
which If proven would secure pardon TO the
