 The advance in price of certain manufactured iron goods is affecting Mexican trade.

Another concern interested in Mexican business has been anxious to place an order for a medirm sized lot of steel rails for the past three days, but as no mill will guarantee the delivery at the time wanted it is doubtful if the contract will be gwen. Many such coincidences are Of daily in the export trade.

and other Southern Senators filed their
written protests against 1T as a surrender
of everything Of value to the North.
when Webster returned to Boston the
abolitioEists undertook to exclude him
from Faneul Hall for surrendering every
thing to the South. He said however,
that the laws of nature would prevent
slavery going into any of the Territories
and that the proviso was unnecessary.
The outcome proved 1t to be true.
Subsequent events also proved that we
were right in believing that there was
danger of an attempt to secede Ten years
afterward the attempt was made, but un-
der very different circumstances. In 1850
the South had a pretext so plausible that
they were united. In 1860 they had no
such pretext and were not united, Mary
land, Kentucky and Missouri adhering to
the Union.
During that ten years railroads had
spread throughout the great Northwest
and more than doubled It's population and
military power. And so great was the di-
vision in the South that Southern cities
had almost as many soldiers in the Union
army as all Of New England. Yet 1t re-
uuired an army so large that after moro
than thirty years there are nearly a mill
ion pensioners, and it took four years Of
war to overcome the attempt to secede.
These facts will give US the measure OF
the danger If the attempt had been made
in 1850, and vindicate the wisdom or avert
ing 1t by an honorable compromise.
''I have always believed the Union was
in more danger at that time than 1t was
in the darkest days of the civil war. It
was the only time after the commence
ment of the sectional struggle when the
South was relatively strong enough to
have chance Of success.

long conversation with him prior to the
revival of the slavery question. I recol-
lect he made a remark that II his theory
of government had been adopted the
Union would last forever.
He then explained his theory. It was
that the national Government should do
absolutely nothing except what was nee
essary to preserve it's nationality. He
believed the national Government should
have to do with matters Of peace and war,
leaving all internal matters to each indi-
vidual State. The nation would serve as
a great protector, and as such would be
honorad by all the States. There would
then be no need Of much national reve-
nue., or a great number OF federal office
holders.
Calhoun, referring to the patronage
system, told me that he feared the tims
would come when the adherents Of polit-
ical parties would vote rather for the ad-
vantages to be secured out of federal
offices than for the principles represented
by the parties

This Congress thought it settled a great
national question, but it only left a her
itage of war to come over ten years
later.
Upon the Introduction Of the bills for
the organization of the territory acquired
by the treaty with Mexico the slavery
question at once sprang up" Mr.. Brad
bury said to me. THE extreme Northern
men insisted on the insertion of the Will
mot proviso prohibiting slavery in the
bills covering all the Territories. This
was resisted by the Southern members.
They urged that the Territories were the
common property of the whole country,
and that they had the same right to them
as the North, and that this was an unfair
attempt to exclude them.

Massenet's Herodiade,' too, which cant

subject. An American composer, whose
name you know well, asked me II 1 would
put on a one-act grand opera If he wrote
one for Calve. I told him of course /
would if it were a good one. But he never
came around with It,
but there haven't been five successful
grand operas brought out in the last thir
ty years-really no great successes since
Carmen. However, 1t Isn't operas that
the public goes to hear, 1t Is the artists.

to them. for the public itself is the best
manager OF all. and the man who sets
himself up to give it something that 1t

to want 1t Is foolish.
