The reader who is curious to know ex.
actly where runs this oft-mentioned line,
will get clear idea of it by taking the
map and tracing it as follows: 1t common
ces at the point on the Atlantic coast where
the dividing line between Virginia and
North Carolina commences passing along
the line dividing those States along the
line between Tennessee and Kentucky; along
the line between the States of Missouri and
Arkansas thence through the territory of
the Cherokee Nation, through New Mexico
striking the eastern boundary Of the State
of California short distance south of the
middle, striking the Pacific short distance
south of Monterey bay. On the south of
that line there are about 100000 square
miles of territory, including Indian reserva-
tions, while on the north there are about
100000 square miles. Of the 100000
square miles south of Sc deg. 80 min. there
is not the slightest probability that there
could be carved out more than one slave
State. All New Mexico, comprising about
100000 square miles, would never become
slave territory, from the tact that it is not
adapted to slave labor. Itproduces neither
cotton nor cane. North of that line'
though slavery were to be legalized, it could
never exist.

The House of Representatives. on Mon
day last, concurred in the Senate amend
ments to the bill admitting Kansas, and the
bill has no doubt been approved by the Pres
ident. The amendment added in the Senate
and concurred in by the House, was in re-
gard to the establishment ola United States
District Court in the new state, providing
for Judge, District Attorney, etc. The
effect of it is to place in the hands of Presi-
dent BUCHANAN the appointment of a Unit
ed States District Judge, to hold Office for
life. The Republicans wanted the provis.
ion incorporated in separate bill, which
could be delayed until Mr.. LINCOLN came
in. 1t is said JOHN PETT1rT, (BENroN's
DID, will receive the appointment.
The state government will be administered
by the following officers, elected on the 9th
of December, 1859, namely:
Governor. Charles Robinson Lieut.. Cover.

1.-THE Day for Cancellation Gone By"
The citizens Of Boston, to the number OF
$4,000, without distinction of party, signed
a respectful petition to Congress, asking for
the settlement Of the present difficulties,
upon any just and honorable basis Of concil-
iation. Ex- Chief Justice SHAW, EDWARD
EVERETT, e. O. WINTHROP, and others,
conveyed the petition to Washington. Of
this proceeding the Press thus fippantly re-
marks s8isi4 - ,H
The petition was enclosed in the American
flag, and when presented called forth bursts of
applause from the floor Of the Senate, and in
the galleries-about the only impression it will
probably make on that body. The dav for
petitions for cancellation and humilition has gone
By.
Well, if "the day for petitions for concil.
iation, has gone by," the days of the Union
are numbered. The Union was formed and
has been maintained up to this hour, by
Cancellation, and we are now reaping the
first fruits Of the departure from this lust and
considerate policy.

Memorial to Congress.

We publish below the Memorial to Con
gress, which met the unanimous approval
of meeting composed of prominent gen.
tlemen of this city, of all political parties,
and which will be generally circulated for
signatures. We ask every citizen to

eide whether be will add the influence of his

To the Senate and House of Representatives Of the United

GENTLEMEN The undersigned citizens of
the city of st. Paul, representing the ma

" united in devotion to the Constitution of the
Federal Union, and the principles of free gov

eracy, our kindred in blood and language, and
Of the same political affiliations. and the
threatened defections Of others, fill Us with
deep concern that any condition of our nation
al affairs, or acts of legislation should have led
to such calamitous results. As we deprecate
the spirit of elimination, which engenders re-.
elimination, q fanatical policy fraught only
with mischief, and destructive to peace, we
pass aside from any allusion to causes of exist
ing trouble, and pray your honorable bodies
speedily to pass upon such measures as will
give quiet to feverish and distracted country.
We would respectfully recommend the plan
of adjustment embraced in the Crittenden res
olutions, or that submitted by the Hon. b. NJ
Rice, modification of either, or combination
of the principles of both, such as will secure
equal justice to every section Of our once pros
porous Nation, reconcile conflicting passions,
and forever put to rest sectional strife, hitherto
