Mr.. Calhoun on Squatter Sovereignty

Speaking of the powers of the general gov
ernment, in his celebrated discussion with Col
Benton, and referring to the very point now
at issue between Mr. Douglass adherents and
his opponents, Mr.. Calhoun said:-
ats (the general government's) power and
authority, having for its object the more perfect
protection and promotion of the safety and
rights Of each and all, it is bound to protect
by its united power, the safety, the rights, the
property, and the interest of the citizens of all
| wherever its authority extended. That was
the object for comforting whatever authority it
has, and if it fails to fulfil that, it fails to per-
form the duty for which it was created. 1t is
enough for it to know, thatit is the right prop
erty Of citizen of one of these States, to
make it its duty to protect it wherever it
comes within the sphere of its authority
whether in the territories, or on the high seas,
or anywhere else. Its power and authority
were conferred on it, not to establish or abol-
ish property, or rights of any description, but
to protect them. To establish or abolish be-
longing to the States, in their sovereign ca
pacity-the capacity in which they created
both the general and their separate State gov
ernment. 1t would be then, total and gross
peryerslon of its powers and authority to use
them to establish or abolish slavery, or any
other property of the citizens of the United
States, in the territories. All the power it
has, in that respect, is to recognize as proper
ty there whatever is recognized as such by the
authority of any of the States, its own be-
ing but the united authority of each and all of
the States, and to adopt such laws for its reg
ulation and protection as the state of the case
may require

Congressional.

HoUsE-March 20-The West Point Bill
with the Senate's amendment, making appro-
prlation for regiment of nonnted Texan
volunteers, was referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs by vote of Ill to 49, A
bill calling into service Mounted Regiment
to suppress Indian hostilities in New Mexico
was referred to the same Committee.
SENATE.-Mr Sumner presented a memo
rial of Samuel May, a distinguished and ven
erable merchant of Boston, paying for the re-
peal of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, the
abiuration Of slavery in the District of Colum-
bia, the prohibition of the inter State slave
trade, and the passage of resolution pledging
Congress against the admission of any more
slave States into the Union, or the acquisition
OF any slave territory, or the employment OF
any slaves by government contractors, officers
and Departments of tge Federal Government.
He moved its reference to the Judicial Com
mittee.

The TWo-Thirds Rule.

The two-thirds rule in Democratic Nation
al Conventions for the nomination of candi-
dateo for President and Vice President, was
adopted at Baltimore, in 1882, when Andrew
Jackson was re-nominated for President, and
Martin Van Buren, was designated Vice Pre-
sident. That was the first Democratic Ma
ton Convention ever held. The Democratic
members ofthe Legislature ofNew Hampshire
made the suggestion that led to the Conven-
ton. Their argument was to let the Dis
tricts and States that did not have Democra-
tic members Of Congress, but still had a large
Democratic popular vote, have voice in the
selection of candidates. Under the old sys-
TEN of Congressional caucuses, they were ex-
cluded. We now hear partizans declam
against the very iaes that led to the ore5auiza-
ton Of National. .eenV Vsnt;;os4e! '----7
The two-third rule was reported, in 1882,
from committee Of which the late Vice Pre-
sident King, Of Alabama, was Chairman. An
attempt was made to substitute the majority
principle, but it was voted down. In 1885,
the second National Convention was held In
Baltimore. The two-thirds rule was adopted
after long discussion. The majority princi-
pie at first carried, but was finally stricken
out. In 1910 no action was taken on the two
thirds rule at the third National Convention,
as Mr.. Van Buren, was re-nominated for Presi-
dent by acclamation. In 1914, at the fourth
National Convention. the two-thirds rule was
adopted by close vote, after long discussion.
At the National Conventions since held it has
been adopted without opposition 1t has now
become an indispensable party usage, essential
to the protection of the minority, and its repeal
under existing circumstances will be so palpa-
BILE a manifestation Of purpose on the part of
the majority to trample upon the rights of the
minority as to lead to a disruption of the
Convention

the vote of the Convention, supposing that i

Later from Very Cruz.

The steamer Wave, consort of the indiana
Ia, reached Brashear City, yesterday, at IL A.
NJ, in distress, as we are informed by spe-
cial correspondence which came to hand from
that place last evening. The Wave was bound
for New Orleans for powder and other ammu-
milton, for the Liberal Government at Vera
Cruz. But her machinery being out of order,
she consumed all her coal, and managed to get
to Brashear City by burning her boats and
part of her own material. She brought the
correspondence from Vera Cruz which we
publish b Glow. By this it appears that
Miramon has raised the seige and started for
the City of Mexico, though it is thought pos
sible that the movement is ruse de gaerre. He
is stated to have thrown into Vera Cruz 5000
balls and 900 shells, infiicting much damage
OF, property and destroying number OF lives
His own loss is said to have been very heavy
while one account Of the Liberal loss rates il
at eight killed and four wounded.
Senior P. s. Paez came on the Wave as spe-
cial agent for the Liberal Government, and is
now IN the city..--M o. Delta.

No MORE TREATIES WITH NICARAGUA AMI
CENTRAL AMERICA.-The Executive Govern
ment says the Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Sun, having baffled in all at
tempts to establish or carry out by treaties a
national policy in reference to the protection
of our citizens while in the Spanish-American
States, or in passing through them will soon
abandon the effort. They will not, it is said,
negotiate another treaty either with the Cen
trail American States or Mexico, for these pur-
poses, inasmuch as the Republicans have suf-
ficient power in the Senate to prevent their
ratification. The minister from Honduras will,
therefore, be advised that the negotiation COM
menced with him will not be further proceeded
in. To negotiate another treaty with Nicara-
qua will be useless. No treaty would be ac-
ceptable to the Executive and the Democratic
majority of the Senate without tie interven-
ton article, which the Republicans oppose.
The various measures recommended by the
President in his message in regard to Mexico
and the Isthmus transit might be passed by
the Senate, and perhaps that course will be
adopted, as the object cannot be effected
through the treaty making power, while the
Republicans have more than one-third of the
votes in the Senate But the opposition ma
jority of the House would not permit such
measures to be passed.

SOUTHERN MANUFAcTUREs.-Tbe Rich
mond Wing reports that out of 4 600 600 bales
'ol cotton raised last year, only about 100000
are estimated to have been manufactured into
cloth, IN all OF the slaveholding States such
an insignificant portion as to be hardly worth
mentioning.
The Rithmond Dispatch says that home
spun cloths are becoming so fashionable with
business men in Virginia, that the factories IN
different parts ofthe State find it impossible
with their present facilities, to fill the numer.
GUS orders that pour in upon them.
