James Drane was elected President of the Senate, and Hon. J. J.. Antry, Speaker of the House. Tie Governor's message is very long, and entirely devoted to State affairs. He recommends a tax of 4§ ofone percent, upon all the taxable Property of the ‘State for levee purposes, and a similar tax in aid of railroads. A series of resolutions ofa political character, cifered to the Sen ate, were tabled for special consideration. ‘The Grat resolution of the series maintained that as it bad been the practice of Congress here- tefere, to admit Territories into the Union, as States, without the proper ratio of pulation te entitle them to a representative; Uneven should have been 2dmitted under the Lecompton Con- stitution and Senate bill.

Counting THEIR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY are Hatcusp.—Among the most amusing occurrences in the scifti: politics of the times, are the current font) of the politicians who are either snugly enecohsed under the coat tails of Mr, Douglas, or are just now eager to get there, that the South is about to abandomits position on the slayery question, by changing its attitude of hostility to the advancement of abolitionists and the abolition cause. Such persons in Washington, are gravely talking over the probability that Mr. Douglas wi'l be at once taken {nlo the favor of the South, on account of his alleged certainty of re-election to the United States Senate! if really eapable of @ppreciating the relation of cana ani eifect, but for the fact that thelr judgment is warped by their wishes, they would comprehtnt at a glance, that with the exception of the erratic Goyer- nor Wise and his immediate organ, no South: ern Democratic statesmen of newspaper in which the Demeoracy of the South hare even placed reliance, has failed to proclaim that. in desiring the re-election of Pougist lo the Sen ate, their preferente for him was only over such politicians as Giddings or Lincoln. That is to say, they regard his re-election not as be- ing desirable im {treif, but simply as being Preferable to that of Lincoln or any other Gid- dingsite. This is poor “‘ Southern capital,’ indeed, on which to start {na race for Southern support for the Presidency. Wo need hardly say that nothing could be more fallaeious than such expectations es we explain above, under such circumstances; for, if the South is remarkable for aught, it is for aquick apprehension of ber own dignity and interests in connection with politics, and her invariable babit of protecting both. iA However, the approaching Coftgtesional elections throughout the South wili demonstrate that there need be no apprehension that che will take to her bosom any phate of frev-mitirin or abolitionism whatever, for expediency’s sake or on any other conceivable account. Thus, she will send an increased delegation to the next Congress favorable to the policy of the Democracy of the present Congress and the National Administration. ‘here ean be as little question of that fact as that the uppopu- larity of that pelicy arises wholly out of the other fect that it is a poticy of unflinching de- fence of the rights of the South under the Con- stitution. In these Congresstonal elections the South will have presented to her the naked question whether she shall abandon the Na- tional Administration for a new party with a platform based on the principles on which Douglas and his sore-headed allies stood, shoul- der to shoulder with Seward, Wilson, Hale & Co., during the last session The fact that such a policy as that distin- guishing the course of Doug!as and his men— Hickman, Montgomery, Clark, Haskin,Forney, Broderick, e¢ a/..—can win in many of the Northern States heretofore Democratic. will, we apprehend, prove no sufficient cause to recommend it to Southern Democratic confi- dence. It is simply the policy of winning nominal Democratic party victories at the North, by going further than Mes: Seward « Co. went towards ultra abolitionism prior to his (Seward’s) heavier bid for abolition sup Port in bis Rochester speech, in which he “bragged” for that stake higher than Douglas did, last winter. Whatever Douglas and his cohort have gained, has been only by and through opposition to the policy of the national Administration, and four-fifths of the Democ- racy of Congress—a policy eminently patriotic in its aim of protecting the constitutional rights of the South, for which they braved all enemics and risked everything. To fancy that Douglas, who has acquired his new born strength only by pandering to Northern prejudices against Southern rights, will regain the favor of the South, because he is supposed to have half-car- ried [llinois, is to fancy that the South wilh Support anybody on any platform— say Mr. Seward, on his Rochester platform—in order to keep on the winning side, though the victory may be a victory of naked sbolitionism it-elf. Surely, after the course of Douglas last win- ter, and his recent emphatic claim, in the teeth of the Dred Scott decision, that squatters ina territory may lawfully legislate so against the existence of slavery among them, as that it will be utterly impossible for another territory to apply for admission into the Union with a Pro-slavery State constitution, the South will Support bis presidential aspirations, she may not refuse to hail the recent victories of Hick- man, Harris, Haskin, Clark and Montgomery— the five fingers of Dougias’s hand, as operating tn the present House of Representatives 2% xo many Democratic triumphs in which she may glory without stint. From the beginning to to the end of their respeetive canvasses did they rot proctaim their identity with Douglas, as emphatically as the Chic 1go0 Tines pro- claimed the sympathy of Douglas in the cause of each and every one of them? Apropos:—It strikes us as being very easy for nominal Democrats to win auch victories a8 his and theirs—victories won by and through the abandonment of the noble and self. ri- ficing position of the National Administration in bebalf of southern rights, and the assumption of anti-slavery positions wherein those taking them may conveniently outbid-even Messrs. Seward and Greely for abolition favor. If the winners of such victoriés are to be regarded as still entitled to eouthern confidence and coun- tenance, the South bas only to let that fact be universally known to insure that the Congress after the next will contein few others from the North than “‘ Democrats’? of that stripe; for it is vastly more agreeable to not a few of the northern politicians of the times to triumph by pandering to the prejudices of the ultras sur- rounding them, than to sacrifice their own im- mediate political future by sternly contending for the constitutional rights of the hated South. Forney, Broderick, Clark, Davis of Indiana, Haskine, Harris, Hickman, and Montgomery will then be but types of the successful north- ern congressional aspirants of theera If Ab- olitioniem was not strong enough before Doug- las joined forces last winter with Mr. Seward to inture victories to such Politicians in all quarters of the North, it certainly has been thus made sufficiently strong to that end, pro- vided the South will only bail the Douglases, Forneys, Haskins, Davises, Clarks, Montgom erys, Hickmuns, ef 1d omne genus, as good and faithful Demeeratie brethren. For our own part, however, we do not full into the current of fishey, phunkey, crazy, and specalating nominal Demoeratic opinion on this subject, because we are not believers that the South is prepared to press forward to destroy her own weight in the Government, to aid in the immolation of patriotic northern men, only because they dared to brave all in the defence of her constitutional rights, andto P*y 2 premium for tbe greatest momentary Success at the North through courting the fell epirit of Abolitionism. Not believing that the gods have determined to destroy her, we have no idea that she has been thus made mad Exatisa Cusenix.—The chagrin of the Foglieh Government and interests engaged in Chinese commerce at the substantial success involved io the treaty lately made by our Mizister—Mr. W. B Reed—with China, is becoming hourly more apparent, in the denun- ciations of the English press.

The right to trade at the five ports #25 speciBcally con! nea to tht subjects and citizens q nations theretofore trading to Canton The stussians having no outlet to the Eastern seas before they obtained possession of the country watered by the Amoor had never traded to Can- ton, and therefore had no share in these privs ‘leges-—tn fact, the treaty of 1842 had been spe- ciaily worded so as to exclude them. The o t of Russia, therefore, in the recent hegotiations was to gain the position of sectiriig spa utilig- ing her new ustirpatiotis; to put herself tion an equality With the other maritiine Ettropéah na- tions, and té ope ip hes of communication between ber commerrt upon the northern fron- tier of China and the tharitime commerce on the eastern coast. In her first objett she was errly successful ae in the mohth of May last, by a treaty whereof we know nothing, except vy the scanty notice vouched by the St. Petersburgh Gazette, she ac- quired alegal right to all that lsirge tract of Ubi- nese territory situatedl to the north ef that wind- ing course of the Amoor. She thus obtained an outlet by water-way to the Eastern Seas in a !at- itude sulticiently southern to give free passage to commerce for the major part of the year. Having thus seburett her usurpations,her next oblect was to utilize them. Ofcourse, sh* proposed to ber- self to obtain the insertion §h the treaty about to be concluded at Tien-sin of the most favored nation clanse, and, this being a foregone conclu- sion, all special stipulations us to maritime mat- ters were to her a matter of supreme indifference She knew that this onions part of the work would be done for her by those most interested in that particular matter. These nations ought to have been England and America; but, as Rus- sia, beyond the View nf obtaining her own treaty, had also the object of preventing. If possible, the presence of any other Power at Pekin, and the circulation of any other than Russian merchants in the interior of China, r Mr. Reed was de tached from the side of Kngland and placed in an antagonistic position in order to accomplish these objects, Count Putiatine knowing Lord Bigin weil enough to be satistied that he would of bis own force obtain general commercial priv- ileges suilicient to answer the purposes of Rus- sia. The lest most able move happily did not succeed, but it was played with most admirable subtlety, poor Mr. Reed being the cat’s paw,and being made ail the while to farcy that he was working for some profountt result in conducting the ingens against England. In reality, be Was exactly in the position of the carpenter in Hogarth’s picture, abating hard to saw olf the plavk on which he sits. This being premised, the Russian treaty will be found admirably to xubserve the interests of Count Putiatine’s ‘master. It consists of only tweive articles. The fist contaius the usual re- cital, tending to excite a smile under the circum- stances, of the peace and friendship which bas for a number of years existed between Russia and China; but it also guarantees an intercommu- nity of rities for the subjects of the respect- iveempires. The second article isof more special importance. It regulates the diplomatic reiations betweea the two Courts, gives to every Russian agentatan ts Se port a right of direct communi- cation with Pekin, and provides for the passage of Russian envoys, by land or by sea, by any route they may choose, up to the capital. The third article vives to Russia the very important privilege of trzding to the open ports. ‘The fourth puts Russia shipping, in respect of dues, upon the same footing with the other European coun- triex. We may pass over some of the subsequent articles, Which relete to the presence of Russian sbips of warin Chinese ports, the treatment of wrecked Russian subjects, the territorial judicial immunities of the subjects of the respective na- tions, abd the eirculation of Russiaa missionaries provided with passports sigued by Russian au- thorities. ‘The ninth article contains a stipala- tion dangerous to China—that a convention shal! be heid to settle the conterminous frontiers of the (woemptres. The tenth emancipates the “Rus- sian Ecclesiastical Mission at Pekin’? fom all its Previous conditions of Chinese control; but the eleventh draws very close the ties that are here- after to connect the two countries. ‘This eleventh article provides that a regular postal service shall be estab! ished between Pekin and Kiekhta—a city on the frontier, northwest fiom Pekin, and ina line between that capital and St. Petersburg—for the communication be- tween the Governments, as well as for the wants of * the Reclesiastical Missi t Pekin.’ Itis stipulated that the Chinese cor ball perform the to and fro service between Pekin and Kiakhta at least ouce a month, and shall make the tra’ in fiiteen days. Moreover, it isagrred that e three months aconvoy shall make the transit be tween these points ina space not exceeding one month; and this convoy stall be equal t. the transport of every kind of effects.

We are pointing monty to the action and result of these very interesting and importaut negotia- tious. In this point of view it is impessible aot to admire the simplicity and neatness of this di matic instrament. There is nothing in it tbat is not usefal ; nothing is obtruded wanecessarily ; opportunities are left open fora hundred later discussions, but nothing is uncertain in the con- cessions that Russia thought it important to ob- ttin, Asa mere piece of diplomacy, it is quite perfect in its kind. Of course, we have no sight tocomplain that Mr. Putiantine intrigued against Englaud and the rest of the world, and tried to keep their statesmen eway from Pekin and their merchants out of the interior. Having presumed that the pees of China isa policy of territorial aggression, M. Putiatine played a fair game for an adequate object. Perhaps we admire bis =kill of fence with the more good bumor since he wos foiled in the only lunge that was aimed to wound us deeply. it may, however, not be unimpor- tant at some future Ume, with these facts before us, to reconsider the relations between Russia aud China, and to discuss the course of action which expediency may point ont on the occur- rence of complicatiuns tbat _y not be far dis- tant.—Loadon Times, Oct.
