is not supposed that Mr. Watson will survive
his injury. Also a valuable negro man
belonging to Mrs. McWilliams, the motherin-law
of Mr. Gray, is dangerously wounded,
so. much so that the attending physician expresses
some doubt of his reoovery. No other

?? Mr. Kendall writes to the Picayune,
from New Braunfels, Texas. "Our planters
about here have a new market for their cotton?a
market which was hardly thought of,
a few years since. In our streets can now be
seen a long train of Mexican carta, all the way
from Saltillo, picking up the cotton between
this and the San Marcos, and lower down the
country, all of which is destined for the Mexic&n
factories beyond Montery and the Sierra
Madre. The manufacturers there find it for
their interest to send directly here to buy the
ootton they require at the plantations, and
to send it off on the lopg journey in the rude
carts of the country. Our planters, meanwhile,
receive better pnoes than they could
possibly obtain by sending their cotton to
fntipola or QitiyftrtpB."

FEATURES and valuable inducements to the kindly offices
of his friends and patrons.
"The Enquirer is now established on a sure and permanent
basis, and daring the present year has enjoyed a patronage
and good-will which assure to it, in the tirtnre, a career
of prosperity and success. This has enabled as to make
arrangements which will odd materially to the valne of the
paper, and render it a mote acceptable visitant to
THE FAMILY CIRCLE; , ,
a more faithful representative of the moral and social tone
of the people, ana a more reliable exponent of the sentiments
and opinions of the District. The conductors prill
endeavor to recommend it to the Philanthropist and the
Christian, by making it the mediant of a pure and elevated
Literature, and the means of an untiring advocacy of
MORAL AND SOCIAL REFORM; '
while to the gay and light-hearted world will be supplied an
ample fund of WIT, HUMOR and STORY. Assured that
the success of the TEMPERANCE CAUSE is intimately
interwoven with the well-being and the progress of the people,
the ENQUIRER Wiir continue to advocate this reform
with unabated energy. A portion of every issue will be devoted
to the interests of
[ " "THE FARMER AND PLANTER,
by the publication of seasonable articles upon this, the most
important branch of Southern industry; and, in POLITICS,
the Enquirer will be made the advocate of every
measure, calculated, in our opinion, to unite our people and
to promote, In (he highest degree, the PECULIAR
interests of the south.
s .In pursuance of his purpose to foster and encourage home
talent, the Proprietor has secured the pens of several promising
writers in this 8tate. In an early number, will be
commenced an ORIGINAL nouvelette, entitled
LOVE;
' " 0Bi '
| - OLD HEADS AND YOUNG HEARTS. ;1 *
The characters in this interesting story are local, and the
plot will seek to develop the phases of our own social life.?
[ In addition to this, a thrilling story of the Revolution Is now
in preparation for the Enquirer, by a writer well-known to
oar columns?a chronicle of 1780, the darkest period of the
struggle, when a brighter light was enkindled on the fields of
Houck's Defeat, Rocky Mount, Hanging Rock and King's
Mountain, and the tide of war rolled back forever (Tom our
soil. The Story will be entitled,
THE PARTISANS i
^ OR,
THE HEROINES OF THE SANTEE; and
will illustrate, specially, the courage and devotion of the
daughters of Carolina, In the "times that tried men's souls."
In the list of contributors, of which the ENQUIRER is justly
proud, the Proprietor is permitted to mention the names of
J. WOOD DAVID80N,
WILLIAM M. MARTIN,
J. FORREST GOWAN,
JOSEPH H. BLACK,
Rev. JOHN W. KELLY,
"i.i'j . WILLIAM W. EAST,
Mrs. M. W. STRATTON,
and Mrs. C. LADD.
From, the brilliant pens of such a corps of Contributors,
we Indole the hope that valued assistance will be given us In
imparing tone and Interest to our columns.
A* heretofore, the LOCAL DEPARTMENT of the paper
will receive special attention; and it will be ourendenvor
to make h a truthful chronicler of events at home?the advocate
of home interests?the promoter of home progreia.
Arrangements havo been made to secure correct weekly
of Yorkville, Rock Hill, Chester, Charlotte, Columbia, and
Charleston, with a list of the Railroad Consignees.
In illustrating the past history of York District, we will
publish ORIGINAL SKETCHES of tlse several leading
Churches. Among these we have already in preparation interesting
and Instructive sketches of

and, probably, BEERSHEBA and EBENEZER.
The Enquirer will contain a weekly resume of the LATEST
NEWS up to the hour of going to press; adhering
to the plan of "MERE-MENTION," culling and condensing
multum in parvo, the columns will constitute a complete
Map of the Times. (
Have been engaged from Columbia, Charleston, Washing*
ton and New York, who, together with occasional letters
from various sections of the State, will make up our weekly
Ledger In a racy and readable style. We shall bear it in
Hiind to furnish,* weekly, a compendium of news pertaining
to onr neighboring State, bo as to make the paper valuable
to onr North Carolina patrons.
Having made considerable outlays to secure these attractive
features for the Enquirer, the Proprietor relies confidently
upon the kindness and the public spirit of the people,
especially of this and the adjoining States. Determined
to deserve a cordial support, he can do no leas than expect
a generous patronage. In order, bowevever, to induce bis
friends to exertions in his behalf and to repay them fully, he

YOBKVliLE MARKET.
There has been very little doiDg in cotton since
last report. Eighty bales have been sold daring
the week, at from 9 to 10.35. The market closes
i steady and unchanged at quotations.
THE REMAINS OF COD. WITHERS POO N.
From a letter received yesterday, we learn that,
owing to unforeseen circumstances, the remains
of the late Col. I. D. WitIhrspoon will not reach
Yorkville on the day indicated in oar last issue.
They are now expected to arrive on Sunday morn1
ing, and the burial will probably take plaee ou
Sunday afternoon in the Independent Church yard.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Daring the past week, the Legislature have been
engaged in the discussion of the Bine Ridge Railroad
project. Pending the argument, a vote was
taken unexpectedly, which pronounced decidedly
against farther appropriations, and throw consterI
nation into the ranks of the Railroad party.?
I Upon a reconsideration, however, the discussion
was renewed, and has been conducted with great
i ability on both sides. The result is yet uncertain.
The friends of the measure are exceedingly active,
and may possibly succeed in calling in a sufficient
number of recruits to accomplish their purposes.
We hope not, however. Quite too much money
has already been expended upon this prcject,
the beneficial results of which tc the State at large
are exceedingly problematical. Besides, the Blue
Ridge Road has been urged upon the State in
uniformly bad faith. At the outset, but a trifliDg
appropriation was demanded; again, a promise
was made that the second instalment would be
the last; now a third million of dollars is demanded
; and again and again the downwright game
is to be played, until the State is taxed for at least
ten millions of dollars ! And this, to sustain the
"honor and reputation" of the State, when neither
have been pledged to the work, in any degree
whatever! "Stolen marches" do aot belong to
the grave and deliberate business of legislation ;
god we trust ibe Legislature will put the seal of
condemnation upon all such underhand proceeding,
whatever may bo its object.
Quite an animated debate oocurred on Monday,
on the bill to aid in the construction of a monument
in Independence Square, Philadelphia. It
was made the occasion for the lettiag-off of that
superabundance of effervescing ultraisrn which
I the events of the session had collected together;
and as a consequenoe the matter was indefinitely
| postponed. Xho other thirteen "originals''have
already promptly responded to the call; aa(J it $8
now^ decided that the niche reserved* for South
Carolina ah all remain sightless blank. We
wonder if iny of the members who are anxiom to
expend ten millions for the "honof and reputation"
of the State, voted against the Monument f
After an able speech by Mr. Spratt in favor of
the Slave-trade resolution, awl a reply by Mr.
O'Cmkkb, of Charleston,~*fhe whole matteMWil
1 indefinitely postponed. There the hard commonsense
of the advocates of this visionary scheme
should let it rest.
Tbe special Committee, consisting of the York
and Lancaster Delegations, submitted their Htportin
relation to the removal of the Catawba Indians.
They are not prepared to recommend
measures^ for the removal; for, upon consultation,
they ascertain that many of the Indiana are unfriendly
to the measure, and the Committee think
that uo step Bbould be taken without the consept
and approval of thelndians. The Committee f?"cbmmend,
therefore, that tbe Indian Agent be inquired
to ascertain the true wishes of the Indians
and to report the same at tbe next session. The
Report was adopted.
A Bill has passed both Houses to incorpora te
.the Columbia and Hamburg Railrod Coropaoy.?
The Senate has passed a Bill to increase the compensation
of owners of slaves executed to twothirds
of the value of the slave ; also, a bill to in

has passed the House to provide for the payment
of fines imposed for homicide to the family jf the
deceased. The Bill, by Mr. Aldrich, for i new
District to be called Calhoun, was defeated. A
Bill passed the House to increase the salaries of
the Judges and Chancellors to $8,500 per annum ;
also, a bill to provide for an additional Judg j, and
seven Judicial Circuits. A motion to adjourn on
Friday, the 17th, was lest.
The Committee on Ways and Means reported a
deficiency already exists of $24,000; with an estimate
of supplies necessary to defray the orc?inttry
expenses cf State government for the current year?
amounting to $560,000. If the taxes bo made
the same as last year, they would produce ,'M89,137;
leaving a deficiency of $120,868.'? To nopply
the deficiency, the taxes must be faised 10 per
cent; and inasmuch as there will certainly be other
appropriations which are not known to the
committed, a further increase of at least five per
cent, will be reqaiBito. The Committee, therefore,
recommended that the tax upon all subjects
be advanced equally 35 per cent This advince
will produce $103,000?to meot $120,808 ; leaving
a surplus of 82,787. Oar people must ccnsequently
prepare themselves for a tax materially
increased.
The Legislature, we learn from private sources,
will adjourn on Monday or Taesday next.
our governors.
The election for Governor, on Thursday and
Friday last, was unusually spirited and warmly
contested. Only two candidates were in the field,
and yet four ballots were taken?Col. William
H. Gisr, of Union, receiving 78 votes, Col. J. H.
Ibbt, of Laurens, 77, and two or three votes seatering?before
a choice wasefifected. On the fourth
ballot CoL Gist received 81 votes, and was consequently
declared "Governor and Commander-inChief."
The contest was pnrely personal-?both
candidates being of the red-hot-school. Fox many
years Col. Gisr represented Union District in the
Senate, and in 1848 was elected Lieut' Governor
during the time of Gov. Seabrook. The inauguration
took place in the Hall of Bepresentativee,

Wiin ciue pomp ana ceremony, on muuuay.
Heretofore, the Governors of oar State, wisely
regarding the office as beyond the sphere of polltics,
have refrained from entering the arena, and
refused to use the executive influence to advance
their peculiar political dogmas; and so;ithaaeoaae
to pass that in making choice of men to discharge
this responsible trust, parties and politics ha7c not
been permitted to enter into the canvass. On the
petty issnes now under discussion in this Stater
we differ from Col. Gi9T, toto cceto.; and yet, we
can hail his election with peculiar satisfaction.
We know and appreciate him as an educated,
finely accomplished, thorough-bred gentleman?
possessing, in a high degree, those honorable
qualities of head and heart, that tc<ne and character,
vrbich befit and should always adorn the
chair to which he has been elected. We predict
for him a highly successful and popular term -of
service?a term marked by afaithfdl regard for
the honor and well-being of the State, and the
well-earned applanse of her oitizens.
On Saturday, Col. Mkbrit E. Car*, of Walterboro',
was elected Lientenant Governor, on the
second ballot* r.
The Colombia papers announce that tire appointment
of Private Secretary to his Excellency
has been tendered to Col. Beaufort T. Watts.
Col. Watts has held this place since the flays of
Gov. McDufpie, and by his accomplished m ioners
and gentlemanly bearing aided greatly in giving
tono and dignity to the Executive Department.
He has become an institution with us?one which
we would cherish cheerfully.
A POTOGRAPH.
The Washington States, into which the former
| editor of the South, Roger A. Prtob, has infused
a new life and spirit, perpetrates the following
sketch cf the "opening of the Senate," last week.
The imposing scene is presented graphically, and
in the reading of it we can almost imagine ourselves
in the gallery, marking ont and discussing
t'l the lights and shadows of the splendid picture :
"In conformity with the Constitution of the U.
States, both branches of the National Legislature
met and commenced the second session of the
thirty-fifth Congress. Half an hour before the
time at which the Senate and House were called to
order, the Capitol presented quite a livolj series
of groups of anxious politicians greeting each
other?strangers taking observations of the stars
m the political firmament, and the general conclave
of outside members of both houses. Through
the aisles and np the vistas of steps bright forms
and bright "eyes and genial faces were Hitting,
flashing, and smiling, while in the lobbies editors
and journalists, correspondents and reporters, of
all hues and colors, just come to town to "do the
session," recognized each other, some heartily,
some with professional courtesy.
On all faces the good feeling and good intention
of commencing a new partnership as it were, or a
fresh rivalry, as is likely, was manifest; and there
were hurried but suggestive intimations of how
the summer had been passed?what a turn politics
had taken since June last; what might be in
the Message?what might not be in the Treasury
Report; not even omitting for the benefit of the
flitting bright forms and flashing eyes aforesaid, a
few words on the proposed dimensions of new bonnets,
or a bewitching giggle from berieuth the
scanty boundaries of old ones.
In the Senate the gallery was well f.llod, and
a great deal of anxiety was exhibited ; hsadn bobbing
together in inquiry as to "who is I hat, and
that," &c., and astonished and satisflod voices
replying, "ah! indeed."
Before twelve the following Senators were on
the floor: Messrs. Allen, Bates, Bigler, Bright,
Broderick, Broivn, Cameron, Chandler, Clark,
Clay, Clingman, Collamer, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle,
Durkee, Fessenden, Fitch, Fitzpatrick, Foot, Foster,
Green, Gwin, Hale, Hamlin, Hammond Harlan,
Ivereon, Jones, Kennedy, King, Mason,
Pearce, Polk, Reid, Rice, Seward, Shield/', Simmons,
Stuart, Thompson, of Kentucky, Thompson,
of New Jersey, Trumbull, Wade, Wilson, Wright,
and Ward.
Yonder Seward and Mason gossip themselves
into laughter; while Thomson, of New Jersey,
has a "few words." with his neighbor Fammond,
who, all the while, is dilligently looking over
his correspondence. Kennedy bends rorie.ntically
over the desk of Rice, as though to say lily things
to one of the fair sex. Slidell and Gwinn put
| their two white heads together; Collamer, with
stooped shoulders, listens to Green; Cameron
i ponders, head oa hand, alone; King indites blunt
I missives; Wade wades through the columns of a
: newspaper; Foot and Wilson square their chairs

Beyond the intelligence communicated in the

. .but little of interest in. the. proceedings of Copgreas
In the Senate, movements are making which look
to the Pacific Railroad, as one of the leading questions.
In the re-arrangements of the Committees,
the Democratic caucus deoi<frd to-displaoe Senator
Douglas from the Chairmanship On Teritories,and
substitute his . Senatorial antagonist, .Mr,,.
Green, of Missouri. Douglas richly deserves this
signal mark of disapprobation?this ruling-out
of the party; but we doubt seriously whether the
step will redound to the interests of the Democracy.
To persecute is oftentimes to befrieid an
enemy, and we fear that this truth is to be illustrated
on the instance under consideration. We
notice that several. Southern Senators prudently
opposed this rash measure. Mr. Hahxqn ) was
not in the caucus* .... ;
In the House an effort was made to defent the
resolution offered, last sess^pn^by^r. C lineman,
respecting the abrogation of the Clajtou-Iul.wer
Treaty, so as to conform to the policy anucuiiced
in the Message. Tho effort failed, however, by a
decided vote; and the Hfonse refused to yield anything
to the absurd demands of the English government.
The treaty, in Its common-sense interpretation,
should be enforced, or abrogated entirely.'
So, too, the country will pronounce. An
effort has also been made, already, to confirm to
the recommendations of the Message in regard to
Tariff, with, we fear, a promise of succeus. It
might be well to provide against the frauds incident
to the ad valorem system, and a retort to
specifie dutios wonld produee the result; but tbo
adoption of specifio duties as a system, a contingency
whioh would probably follow the proposed
measure, would prove to be a powerful engine in
the hand of our Abolition enemies, and a deathly
blow to Southern equality: The speaker announced
several charges in the Committees; amongst
them, the promotion of our representative, Mr.
Botcb, to the Chairmanship'of the Committee on
Elections. This is one of the leading postilions in
the House, and the tributo to our clever member
is worthy of h! nself and creditable to his <?nstituency.
' We
shall watch carefully the course of legislation,
iu Congress. In this duty, we expect much
aid from our Washington correspondent, whose
first letter appears in this issue. He writes tersely
and closely; and having a keen way of working
himself, occasionally, into thepeiuiralia?his statement
of facts and speculations may be relied on
firmly.
MRS. LADD'8 SCHOOL,
This accomplished ladysnnonnces the n .it seteion

people remember Mrs. Ladd pleasantly, both as a
lady and a teacher, and with them she needs no recommendation

not enjoyed this privilege, to torn to her advertisement

?J 11. J.?~e 41._ '.L.. T?
, pnutcu VUO UCOpBlUUCO VI bUC IblUijT TTIbU. 1? <0
made mostly of mahogany. To oompar? it irith
the Presses of the present day, it is indeed a cu;
riosity.
Our "friend and pitcher," John IB. Grist, the
I veteran of the York press, and noir employed,
leisurely, in the Enquirer office, became enthusi;
astic on reading of the old press, and discoursed
thereupon, eloquently. He "served his time" in
the Messenger office ; worked it out on Greene's
i old mahogany-machine; remembers every joint
i of its worn-out timbers ; and in their mutual old
i age, sends greeting to the old veteran.
In the day of his apprenticeship, when the Messenger
was the only paper in the State outside of
Charleston and Colombia, John Miller was his
"boss," the editor and proprietor of this 10 by 12
pioneer. And John Milker was, in earlier days,
a journeyman in the office of Woodvall, in London,
and set in type most of the Letters of Junius.
' Thus the authorship of Junius was made known
to him ; bat he was faithful to the trust and the
secret died with its possessor. So it was said,
long ago, in the Messenger office, and "the old
man" tells it yet. - '
THE CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL.
We refer, with pleasure, to the announcement
of this new institution inColumbia. With the Principals
we have enjoyed an entimate acquaintance
for years, and, as far as we are allowed to impart
ored it to any one, have they our hearty endorsement
both as high-trained and earnest scholars. Messrs.
Brumbt and Davidson have chosen as a vooation
for life the responsible tasks of the instructor of
youth, and for several years they have trained
themselves for the work with untiring assiduity
and a marked saocess.
We need not assure the reader of the superiority
of a professional teacher?one detoted to that noble
trust by all the hopes and the very highest
aims of a hopeful life.
The Carolina High School is designed, in some
soft, to snpply tho want of a school preparatory to
the South Carolina College. The principals are
graduates ; they have the countenance and the confidence
of the Faculty, and they promise to devote
themselves specially to the training of young men
for the Sophamore and Freshman classes. Those
who design to make application for admission to
college, would secure a valuable passport by a
session's tuition at the Carolina High School.?
i The Editer of the Ouardian, formerly a Professor
in the college, writes of the school thus:?
Mr. Brumby is well known to the community as
aa efficient aod anocwrfW towher, having had
cfitrgadf a sdiol'Mre for two years or more, owl
given entire safisfaction. He ia thorough, in bla
instruction, and temperate-^nd fi ravin Wo disct
.Mr. Davidsott bos been associated fof several
yOfcra with the late J. W. Hod ton, in tho^dt Zion
College, Winn3boro\ He continues, wo perceive,
tot tench the sime branches*bere os be adhere.
It is o great advantage in schools for each tiocher
to hove bis nptcialilt. His mind acquires a greater
activity in that particular dbec'ion thnn in any.i
other, and his acquisitions n" rurally follow snob
indicated channel, Messrs. Brumby and Davidson
are both College-bred men.
Mr. Bentanqon is a Parisian, and has pursued
his studies in the University of France. He is well
-foformed, and liiaJErenoh is perfectly pore.
< ;i THE "ECHO" CASE.
The Grand Jury, of the Federal Court in Columbia,
having ignored the bills given out against the
crew ofthe |lBcho;" .charged with participation
in the slave-trade, a motion was made under a
writ of Ita"Sri, Corpus for the' discharge* of the
prisoners. The argument was ably made on both
sides, aud was decided by Judge MAan.vrH.and
Waive against the application By this decision
the constitutionality of the "Piracy Act" of 1820
is determined: and the prisoners were therefore

* . ,
tianof the District Attorney at the April term of
the Court, in that city. The witnesses were discharged,
under bonds for their appearance.
In every point of view, it would have been
better for the Grand Jury jn Columbia to have
returned the bills with a true finding, and thus
brought this case to a final adjudication, at once.
To that complection it must come at last; and by
promtply acting up to the lair of the case in defiance
of local prejudices, the Jury would have
more clearly acquitted their own consciences, and
avoided a stretch of authority always to be deprecated
in a society like ours.
The "Echo" prisoners will, doubtless, be
brought to trial, in Charleston, in April, next.

TOIL PH&SIDfHT'* MESSAGE. ^
/This document is quite too lengthy for oar eolamas.
In it*steed, wo subjoin a compendium taken
from the Washington Stain.
r. The Message is, of course, an able paj^er?presenting,
oalmly and gravely, a discussion of all
: matters pertaining to the honor and weitfre of the
i Union. Upon a close scrutiny, however^,alt
thonghr we Would preserve our faith in Administration,
we can find very few measures which
meet with our unqualified approval. The President
proposes to acquire Cuba by purchase; to
abandon the disputo with Great Britain on account
of the Clayton and BrtTwfrtmtyrand Teftr"
the-negotiation-to the Central American Slates
I evelnsivelv: to- assume a forcible nrotectorate
over a neighboring people, with whom we are at
peace; to build a Pacific Railroad indirect!/ b/
the patronage of the Government; and professedYyfor
the" purposes' of revenue, to resort'to'Bpeeif-1"
ic duties instead of the ad valorem system. And
to none of these measures are we prepared to
give a cordial assent Bot onr space will not permit
an extended discussion. Thio Statu says:
The President opens his message by congratulating
the country on the contrast of the agitation
which existed in Kansas a year ago with the peace
and quiet which now prevails. He refers to the
Lecompton constitution, and reaffirms his position
on that subject, and thinks, if Kansas had been
admitted with that constitution, the same quiet '
could have been secured at an earlier day. Being
perfrctiy willing to acquiesce in any other constitutional
mode of settlement,^ signed English's
bill, and it is probable that when Kansas again
applies for admission she will have the population
required by that bill; He goes at length Into the
subject, and recommends the passage of the general
law, so that no new State shall be admitted
unless she has a population sufficient to entitleher
to one Represetative.
He congratulates Congress on the settlement of
Utahaffairs without effusion of blood, compliments
officers of the army serving there, exprehses satisfaction
with the course'of Gov. Cnmming, and
honorably mentions OoL Kane. ' -i
He refers to the importance of treaties recently
-negotiated with China and Japan, and thinks the <
result in the former case justified our neutral ,
mIIm.'." reit'z ... ! ; ti.r.T
He congratulates the couut17.ua the abandonment
of the right of soaroh bj Great Britian; aud
in reference to Central America, says negotiations
are still progressing, and he has not jret abandoned
all hop*of success.
He refers to what he stated last session, in that
connection. His views on the subject of the
Isthmus routes accord with the peliey heretofore
announced by General Cms. His uoij desire is
to keep the routes open, and desires no other privileges
for the United States then We expect
other nations to enjoj. Bat he will not Consent
that they ba closed by the imbecility of nations
which- reside near them. He regratf that the
Nicaragua route has been closed ; and speaks of
the necessity of enforcing our olalms against Costa
Rioa and Nicaragua. *...
. Il^e President speaks of Mexico as in a condition
of civil war, with scarcely any hope of restoration
to a permanent government He refers to
the causes which led to the rapture of our diplomatic
relations there, and speaks well of Forsyth's
efforts. If there is no hope of obtaining justice
from the Liberals, who now appear to be approacbing
to power, he would recommend takiog possession
of a sufficient portion of Mexico to indemnify
us for all olsims and grievances,
In the north of Mexloo, bordering on our territory,
there1 are other considerations wblefa claim
our attention. We are intereated in the peace of
tl\?t neighborhood. Lawless Indians enter our
settlements in Arizona, and it seems that in no
other way this difficulty can be removed than In
establishing military posts at Beoora and Chihuahua,
He recommends that this be-done regarding
Mexico as la a state of imbecility and spar
fchy.
As to Spain he refers to canses which delayed
the appointment of a successor to Mr. Dodge, and
says that Mr. Preston will go odt with powers to
settle difficnlties with Spam, if possible. Ho says
Cuba ought to belong to us, aud recommends steps
to be taken for its purchase. As we acquire all
new territory by honorable negotiation, tbisshould
not be an exception, lie reaffirms former opinions
in favor of specific duties on oertaia articles, and
submits the whole tariff question to Congress, and
colls their attention to the Ptoificrrailroad, and refers
to the overland moils, as showing the practicability
of the route, ,
Among other subjects'he reiterates the Recommendation
to .establish a Territorial government

Special Correspondence of the Yorkrfllo Enqnlrov, FROM
WASHXKGTOS.
Washington, Dec. 9th, 1859.
Congress hare got fairly to work. The House I
of Representatives are now engaged in considering
the impeachment case of Jadge Watbous of
Texas. Watbous is charged' with frandnlent
speculations in Texas lands.
The President's Message is not acceptable to
the Southern metnoers in its tariff policy, He
recommends specifio duties, another name for pro
tection. It is a singular fact that the Secretary
of the Treasury takey the strongest free trade
ground in his report. Nothing has been said
about Kansas yet, except the reference in the
President's Message to it. The impression is 'that
Kansas has died out as a political issue. This,
some think, will have a material effect on the fortunes
of the Black Republican party. They must
either advanoe on an aggressive-platform as laid
down by Senator 8swabd in his Rochester speech,
that the States most be all free or all slave,, or
they most do nothing. To do nothing is death;
to advance is dangerous, because timid men of
their party will become alarmed sad abandon the
organisation. It is to be hoped . that the Black
Republicans may pnt themselves upon SswA&n'e
platform. Their defeat vjould be more probable
?their success would startle the South into instant
revolution. , ,. L-A
resolution has already been introduced to increase
the duties on iron, coal and lead, and a
majority of the Hoase voted to consider it. This
shows that the protective policy Is in the ascendant
in the House.
The politicians will be busy this winter fixing
-up tor the Presidential election. H 4s thought
that a Southern man will bb nominated by tin
Democratic party. Htnrtnt of Virginia, and
Bexokbnbidgx of Kentucky, are the moot prominent
of the Boot hern men for the nomination.?
But enough for the present. ,
