WAsHlSoras. July S
The contract of the California mails 10
likely to involve the Government in some
serious difficulty, which have not been
considered
Der postal treaty with Enhland obli-
mails which come to Panama by the Eng
lish steamers. 1t is known that hr. Van
derbilt has issued peremtory orders not TO
carry that mail, or those from California,
after June 30th So that the foreign and
California mails must be on the sthmus
till some temporary or other arrangement
con be made.
In view of this exigency, 1T is proposed
that sevaralof the swiftest Government
steamers shall be specially delayed for the
service until the meeting of Congress.
The Panama Railroad and Pacific steam
ship Company, are ready to extend their
co. operation in snch a movement, and the
suggestion will be made in the Cabinet, to-
morrow. Messrs. Dsvidge and Haddy,
who re presented the Pacific and Railroad
corporations, have both disclaimed any
sympathy or concert with Mr.. Wander
built's scheme.
Propositions have been formally made
carry the mail by the San Autona and
other routes. But the transportation is
considered impracticable.
Mr.. Grow has returned here in hope Of
effectine some accommodation. he had
taken passage with his family on the
steamer of Monday, but left it when the
mail was refused. His influence with the
Administration is necessarily impaired
since the rupture with the President, last
week.

ceivcd important Intelligence. this morn

WASHINGTON. June 80. 1860,

oouC SVf tCoss
Hon. c. CUSHING: have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of the. commuui-
cation you make in behalf Of the remo.
cratic National Convention, In which you
inform me that on the 23d | was unaui-
mously nominated by that body for the
office Of Vice President Of the U. States,
with the request that should accept the
nomination.
The platform adopted, and OF which you
enclose me a copy, meets with my hearty
approval, as it embraces what / have been
conlendiDg for as the only means of stop.
ping sectional agitation, by securing to all
equality and Constitutional rights, the de-
NAL of which has led to the present unhsp.
py condition OF public affairs. Compro-
mises Of Constitutional principles are ever
dangerous, aud | am rejoiced that the true
Democracy have seen fit TO plant firm
foot the rock of truth, aud to give the
people an opportunity to vipdicate their
love OF justice and fraterDal regard for each
Others rights. Non intervention on the
subject of slavery may emphaticslly say,
is the cardinal maxim of the Democracy.
Non Intervention by Congress and non
Intervention by Territorial Legislation is
fully stated in the first resolution Of the
adopted platform. Ia vain would we de-
clare the former without insisting upon the
latter. because to permit Territorial Legis-
latures to prohibit slavery, or by unfriend
ly legislation to invalidate property would
be granting powers to the creature which
it is admitted do not appertain to the prin-
cipsl or power that creates.
Besides which it would be fastening an
element of agitation IN the te ritories that
must individually extend to Congress. and
the people of all Sta'es, the right Of every
citizen TO entertain the Common Terrific
ry, with whatever property he legally pos
sesses, it necessarily devolves upon the
Federal Government. the duty to protect
this right of the citizen. whenever and
