From tih Chars. 51ercury. THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. The following letter from tle Washing ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, has some importance as an indication of the view which it is the oiject or the Ad ministration to impress on the country. They send ageuts and iuducenets to Cal. ifarnia to urge on the formaiitn of a Sate government, and now they seek to shelter themselves under their own act, as if it were a necessity forced upon the country. A motley horde of adventurers from all portions of ihe earth, inundate thiq region with the hope of speedily gathering wealth and then returning whence they c.ame. These men can spare time enough from their gold digging to frame a government, and the act is to be presented to Congress as the legitimate exercise of their right by the people of a Territory! Tie -passen - gers in a steamship could, with about the same propriety. erect. ihemsclves into a State. and claim the character of a fixed population. WASuH soToN. Nov. 19. . Wo are only at the threshold of the California controversy. It is a mistake to suppose that even the California Conven. tion has disposed of the slavery question. It turns out that the article restricting sla very had only passed the Committeeof the Whole, and sub silentio. It had not been 'reported to the House at the date of the last advices. It is manifest that there is to be an opposition to it at the ne t stage of proceeding. Not even Dr. Gin, of Mississippi. offered any oppositin to it in the preliminary singe; but, accordipg to theNew York Tribune, Dr. Gwin's spe. cial mission to California i as to defeat the Proviso. The Administration sent out Gen. Riley wiih special instructions to proniote the formation of a State government, with a view to get rid of this disturbing question, but several private individuals of energy and itifluence also went to Califor-ia with a view to secure a constitution unrestricted as to slavery. There is to be a severe struggle still'in California before the anti slavery article is adopted.; but it will be adopted, and the scene of strife will, there fore, be transferred to the United States Senate. But there is still another difficulty in the rear. Another portion of California, em bracing the Mormon settlements, now con tains a few slaves. and the Mormons, in their form of government, have not exclu ded slavery. When they come forward with a State Coostitution, then will be another controversy. The South will be really in a helpless predicament. First, they will be forced to permit the admission of one State, with a restriction of slavery; and, next, they must consent to the exclu sion of another State, because it does not restrict slavery. The South is, in fact. called upon to admit three non slavehold ing States, from. the newly acquired ter ritory, to say nothing of Atinesota, Ne braska and Oregon. which will soon be at our doors. The South. now on a foot ing of something near equality in the Sen. ate, nill be soon thrown into a hopeless .an etso.n oarid norse. in iron rang, A pavement for the nbject rear t a'errtn and trample on." Still, I suppose, the Union will survive the destructiotn of the political balance, but is is to sustain a severe shock before it become settled upon the new basis of Southern inequality as to person and rights. lo0t. RMa. CatuoUs AND Ma3. BENroN. Mr. Benson, in one of his allusions to M r. Calhoun, makes the followitng statement : "A Senator of the United States, lie had swornt to support the~ Constitution, and twice attempted to commit treason against his country, and again was willing to re niew the infamy. In 183-2. Jackson would have huniged him as high as Hamant, which was seven five feet six inches-the warratt was in the bands of thte A ttney General, who wvas ordered to have is served utpon the niext move on the part of John C. Cal houn, who, wvhen informed oftbis by Letch - er. of Kentucky, was frighstensed into a chill, quasiled, and from that hour the nullifica, tion of '32 was dead." Admitting this statement to be true, that the nullification of'32 wvas dead from that hour, it is a little cotnsolitng to reflect that it did not die until it hads killed ste high tasriff of '28,'and the system of protection forever. But so far from is beina dead, we. shall be somnewhat surprised if is does rLot yet contsign Mr. Benton himself to the tomb. The nullification of '8-2 was notht ing tmore nor less than the hold and pa srsotic assetion and maintenance of thie rights andi remedies of the States against the usurpatioins of te General Government: In other words, it wans ste putting in prac tice of the doctrines. inculcated by Jeffer son and Madison, now admitted, by thes wvisest ande best statesmen, so be the true Republicatn doctrines of the country, and no one knows better than Mr. Benton, thatjman wilfonoti be permitted so repose on a bed of roses, who sets his faco against them.-Memphis (Tents.

He recommends it as mtost excel lent, as a cheap and durable washt for wooden fences and buildings. Hie thinks that is owes its dttribility to the white vitriol which it contains.

Then dissolve in water, and adtd one poutnd of white vitriol (sulphate of zinc) arid oine quart of finue salt. To give this wash a cream color, and one half pound of yellow ochre, in powder. To give is a fawno color, add one fourth of a pound of Inidian red. To make a hasnd-some gray stotne color, add one half pond of French blue and one fourth pounad of Indian red.

France and Louis Napoleon. The late European intelligence inaforms mas of a rupture in the French Cabinet, wvhich is ikely to cause serious troubles ita the govern ment. President Bonaptarte has removed his late ministers for disagaeement with himn on some mtatters of administrative policy (it is ntot ertainly known what), and fornmed a new abiect of men little known ouat of their parti culmar deptmrtmtents. Two qutestions arise for thte practical thinker -First, whiy hns the Presidernt chmanged hi5 biet? Secondly, why las he taken naew rninsters without parliamentary influence, antd without the ptublic confidlencei The answer to te first inqgniry is, pr obably, 'that lae has ul teior designs of policy in which thte late min is ers could not concenr: believing thtem to be un favorable to the liberties of thme nation. In a vord it is highly probable the Ptesident's aim is to establisla limself firmly in his present pow er-layitag aside, however, thte badge of thes Republic atd asuming thre rommt dignity and authority. Has this intention not shown itself .Vver since his elevation to power? .One of the first acts or his administration was to enter on the Italian war-a palpable attempt to repress the gallant energies of the Italian people in be. half of liberty and free government, and a di rect violation of the laws and wishes of his country. It Is well knowr that the people of France never favored that outrageous and un cAlled for invasion. How could they I After putting forth their intentions to the world to struggle perpetually for human liberty ; after shed-ing oceans of blood in carrying out these intentions: could they form the nrinnturtal de termination to resist the developement (of their principles and to oppose the noble struggles of a gallant people in behalf of liberty ? N)! it were nunatural and monstrous! Louis Bona. parte undertook and carried out that war against the dcrlared wislies of his fellow.citizens, und it opposition to the very apirit hich placed him at the head of French Affas. And fir what? The answer is ready. To oppose the rising spirit of libery among the unhappy Ital. ians: lest the flame of freedom kindled among thetm might spread over Northern Europe,swee ping away the tottering despotisms of the day, and thus lesson his own chances for royal power. Of this there can be little doubt! What was his corduct, also, after the unhap py failure of Hi ngary in the causd of freedom ? that event which caused sadness and sorrow in the bosom of every freedom-loving man 1 He writes a letter of gratulation to the despots of hiesia and Austria-the open and avowed enemies of his country: the opposers of its laws, its institutions, and all its efforts in behalf or liberty! Such acts reed no commentary. They speak too distinctly the heart-felt wish of the French President to clothe himself, at the earliest practicable period, in royal purple. This intetioti explains the second inquiry we have raised. Unible to control the clever and experienced ministers in his late Cabinet the President seeks out for those who have no national reputation; who are no leaders of par. ties or factions; and whom he expects to use as his ready too's in the accomplishment of his ambitionusschemer. But has he not been guilty of a great blunder? He has himself little solid popularity: no military glory, no civil reputa tion, to sustain his pretensions: he was elected to his present post almost solely on the ieputa tion of his great uncle. How, therefore, with. out the aid of a strong party. and able counsel lors to direct that party. can lie hope for suc. ceseI We think the President has taken a step fatal to his wild project. His weak mitnis ters. so far from affording him aid, will be the means of reducing hitn and themielves to con tempt. They will excite tho ridicule of all grance. They will stir tip agaili the discord of faction in that unhappy countiry, and thus open the field for new disturbancA, revolutions and bloody scenes. Old Republcan Pa 'y.

Forgettiing the idle names or Democrat ada Whig-the catchwords of factious mislead er-let us re'-adiopt the good old name of Re publicans, trnd re-assert the noble political creed of the Resolutions of '98. To these we may revert in filial affection, after years of uinhapupy errantry, as the good parent of all our political hopes-thus healing the nitfortunate dissensions and bickerings of the present, (the p unishment. perhaps, of ousr erratic ways,) in a bond of mutual respect and forbearance, based on a community of interest an'l danger, and secured. by adhering for the f'uture to a common political creed. formed by coinmotn ancestors and tetid ing to the common welfare of our unihappy The approaching Southern Conyontioni is an inviting a ceasioni to realize this happy Union' Representatives fronm all parties, anid all sec tions of Southaern States will be brought togeth er to) deliberatte on the gratest matters of the comon welfare. Unider such circumstances political differences and party schemes will nat rrally yieid to the solemnity of the occasion. The mind will forget its selfish cnnning, and be fired with the most liberal emotions. Patri otism will overshadow ambition, and the love of country, the love of party. The transition will, thent, be easy from local or sectional, to common or general orgatnization; arid with so sound a creed to fall back oan as the Virginia Resolutions, cherished and approved as they are by maiiy of the wisest and- best among us, much of the practical difficulty will te removed.

'We have been kindly permitted to pe ruse a letter from a young Carolinian now in the laud of "dust " to a relative in this place. As so many different and conficting statements have been given as to the prospects of emigrants. and the general advantages of that counery. we give the following extracts as indicating the opin. ion of one who has "seen the land." and whose intelligence and means of informna tion have been such as to add to the value of his testimo-y. The letter is dated SAN FRANcIsco, Sept. 22d, '49. "I have not procured a place yet. and have determined not to go to the Mines, as a great many persons have advised me not to do so. A person might he lucky and find Gold in large quantities, but then he is very likely to be sick. and it will take all he can make to get well; and three fourths of the diggers now scurcely pay expenses. 6I really think the editors in the States ought to be punished for the accounts that have been putlished about this country.

"The attempt to secure the "leaves anti fishes" of office, by a sacrifice of South ern Rights. has resulted in the overthrow #;f the vile conspirators." Now, it is notorious that the undivided sentiment of the whig party in New York is in favor of free soil, while there is a div ision among the democrats on the sante subject.-one party being like the whigs, in favor of free soil, and the other party being positively opposed to it. Whai hene fit, then can accrue to "Southern Rights" by the defeat of the democrats ? That the thing may he seen in its proper light, we clip - the followitig significant paragraph from the New York Tribune of the 6th inst. The Tribune i- known 14 be the champion of the whig party in the state aif New Yirk, afit its editor 1a1 been honored with a seat -in Congress.
