The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalge, restoring peace between the United States and the Mexican republic, has widened the breach between the North and South. The vast expanse of the terri- tories acquired, with their invaluable harbors and mines of precious metals, surpassing in rich- ness the fables of romance, so far from healing, have only aggravated our sectional disputes. The tneks of a clique of defeated politicians—the defec. tion of Marta Van Buren, the organization of the free soil party, and the consequent crusade against the extension of slavery, have exasperated the pre- judicer of the North to an unscrupulous hostility, and have driven the South to the most desperate resolutions. ‘The question at issue is, the exclusion of slavery by act of Congress from the new territories. The North demands the exercise of the power—the South denies its existence. The difficulty does not lie in the exclusion of slavery, but in the exclu- sion by act of Congress. The position of the South is simple and logical. They assume that the States are all equal partners in the Union; and that in the territories of the Union they all have an equal right—that Congress, as the trustees of the copartnership, cannot impair the equality of the members—that they cannot pass an act excluding the citizens of any one State, with thelr property, from a territery, without impairing this equality, but that such an act isa breach of the copartner- ship justifying its dissslution. But the govern- ment of a territory being vested in Congress, the erritory itself has no power of exclusion. It re- mains open until the territory is admitted asa State; and on assuming the sovereignty of a State, he people are competent te admit or exclude sla- very at their discretion. Whatever may be the power of Congress, such 19 the position of the South. They assume, that to consent to the ap- plication of the prov would be consenting to a degradation, and that separation is preferable to disgrace. ‘The duty, then, of providing territorial govern- | ments for Califerma and New Mexico, becomes a delicate and perplexing business. Numerous ex- pedients have been tried to avoid the direct issue; but, from the obstinate resistance of the free soilers, all attempts at a compromise have failed. The people of California, however, are in process of settling the question in that terntory for them- selves. It may be confidently expected that they will early, at the next session, present themselves to Congrees, with the credentials of a State, Con- gresshas but to accept their constitution, admit os State, and the question is settled for California. Bat e greater difficulty than the naked proviso remeins tobe adjusted in New Mexico. Texas claire the territory to the Rio Grande. Excepting a narrow margin of garden patches on the weet bank, the boundary of the Rio Grande would give te Texas all the habitable territory of New Mexico, jncluding Sante Fe, and all the towns fora thou- sand miles along the river, on the eastern side, with a vast scope of desert territory extending north to the Arkansas river, with a slip following the Rio Grande to its rource, in latitude 42. All this territory of New Mexico, though claimed by Texas, was under the government of Mexico, till | eonquered by Gen. Kearny and organized as a terri- | tory of the United States, with the government at Santa Fe, which isstill in existence. The treaty with Mexico secured the territory to the United States. The claim of Texas, then, cannot rest either upon her settlement, conquest, or occupation of the ter- ritory. President Jones, in calling upon the coun- thes of the State in 1845, to act upon the resolu- tions of annexation, makes no mention of New | Mexico, or the county of Santa Fe. Texas, there fere, bas no claim, except in the resolutions of an- nexation, which, among other things, provide:— let, Said State to be formed, subject to the adjast- ment by this government. of all questions sf boundary arise with other governments, Ke. ent #ize, not exccedin, four in number. in addition to said State of Texas, an Raving suMcient population. may bereafter, by the eon- sent of wnid State, be formed «ut of the terril Of. which shell be entitied to admission 10 FFO- | ‘visions of the federal constitution, And such States | ae may be formed out of thet portion of the territory lying south of 86 deg 29 min north latitnds, eommoal be Missourl eompromine li all be have yet to be given to Congress. "_ recommen- dation by the President in favor of ‘Texas would probably settle the question. By the terms of an- nexation, if'a new State, with the assent of Texas, should be formed ot New Mexico, it cannot be a slaveholding state, but at the option of the people. | The-terntory cennot support slave labor. On the other hand, no separate te: :itorial goverament can be made for New Mexico, without a breach of the contract with Texas, and without hazard of alienating the South from the Union. But we apprehend there will be a ridiculous waste of time upon this bone of contention, Free soil has nothing else to stand upon, Surrender New Mexico to Texas, and the free soilers are de- } | funet, the slavery agitation 1s defunct, and the cliques of agitators will be broken up, Somethiag must be done. The bourdary of ‘Texas must be ecttied, and New Mexico wants a government. We trust the President will recommend the policy which 1s best, without regard to party cliques or sectionul demagogues. Tur Reevnr Exections, ano Tus CaBinet.— The orgens of the Cubmet at Washington, and the whig papers generally throughout the couatry, are doing all in their power to reconcile the party to the result of the elections whick have recently token plece in several of the States, and which, as our readers are aware, have detracted from, rather than added to, the strength of the administration of General Taylor, although the personal popularity of the old hero has not been in the slightest degree impaired or lessened. Nor should it be lesseaed; for when the people of the United States put him in nomination for the presidency, they were perfectly aware, even if he had not himself confessed it, that he had spent the greater part ofhis life in the camp, and was unacquainted with the details of govern- ment business. These he was not expected to perform, and he commutted them, and the shaping of the general policy of his administration, to his cabinet advisers—placing before them, as their chart or guide in the performance of that duty, the numerous letters which he wrote during the can- vase, and the pledges which he voluntarily gave previous to hig election. The independent people of the country were delighted at the opportunity which presented itself to them of bestowing the highest office within their gift on a man who him- self was independent—whose virtue, honor, and bravery were beyond dispute, and whose character throughoat a long life was spotless; and their opi- nion of him has not been changed. Such was the manner and such the circum- stances under which General Taylor was elected to the Presidency. The result of the recent elec- tions, therefore, eannot detract from the popu- larity and the estimation in which he is held by the people at large, and cannot be traced to any desire on their part to repudiate him. What, then, can they be attributed to? We think there can be no difficulty in answering this question. Ask any one who has watched the course which the members of the cabinet have pursued since their appointment, and he cannot but pronounce con- demnation on both them and it, especially that part of it which had reference to our foreign po- hey. When the future historian depicts the year 1849, he will point with amazement to the conduct of the cabinet im our foreign relations; and when the rotten and corrupt deepotisms of Europe shall have been overwhelmed and destroyed by indig- nent and outraged millions—when republicanism shall prevail throughout that quarter ef the world— our posterity will blush for us, and sineerely regret that ovr government did not avail itself of the glorious opportunity which was presentedeto it of extending a helping hand to oppressed and dowa- trodden Europe, and assisting them in the struggle in which they engaged for their legitimate nghts. They will entertain of us of the present day, an opinion mmilar to that which we hold in reference to Louis Napoleon, and the subjugation of the Ro- man republic. Our cabinet refused to give a help. ing hand, or a symptam of eneonragement, to either Rome or Hungary. Louis Napoleon em- ployed the resources of the French nation in the destruction of Roman republicanism; our ca. binet employed the naval forces of the United States to prevent the unfortunate inhabitants of Cuba, from the sweat of whose brows the im, mense sum of twenty millions of dollars is an- nually drawn by the corrupt and imbecile govern- ment of Spain, from achieving their indepen- dence. Louis Napoleon’s criminality in the one ease, is not greater than that of our cabinet in the other. In both cases, liberty and republi- canism were suppressed. While it cannot be denied, on the one hand, that Rome would be a republic at this hour if France had not interfered to replace in power her sacerdotal sovereign and his hooded satellites, there is but little doubt that the people of Cuba, with such assistance as they cal- culated upon from the United States, without vio- jeung the law of nations, would have been, ere this, free of the tyranny which crushes them. In fact, the whole foreign policy of the cabinet, since their induction into office, has been at variance | with the spirit of the age, contrary to the feelings and sympathies of the American people, and will, in future times, be considered a staia, a biemish, a black spot on our national escutcheon. Thie was one of the causes which produced the results in the elections which have recently been held; and when we give te it the weight to which it is entitled, and connect it with the domestic po- ley of the cabinet, as tar as the exercise of the ap- pointing power 1s concerned, the organs of the cabinet need not wonder that Mr. Ewing and his associates are not sustained by the country. They have failed to discharge the reeponsibilities which General Taylor, in his magnanimity and openness of heart, conferred upon him, and brought about the spectacle which we now behold, of a President elected by acclamation, being without a majority in the House of Kepresentatives; tor such will be the condition of things at the next session of Con. gress. General Taylor himself, has not had any influence in producing these deplorable results, as is wellknown. If the policy which he sketched in his letters and speeches previous to his election, | and which he placed before the cabinet as their | guide in conducting the affairs of the government — if that policy and those views had been adhered | to by the cabinet, they and their organs would not, in all probability, be lamenting at this time, as they are, the unfavorable resulté of the elections that have recently taken place. Ina few weeks New Union, with or without Missouri compromise line, sla. tary servitu erpt for erime.) The posses 3 has adjusted the boundary with Mexico; but the boundaries of Texas have yet to | be defined. Upon the third of thé conditions of | agnexation, Texas may demand, if not the posses- sion, the cession of the territory of New Mexico. Without it, she has little or no territory north | of thirty-x thirty, nor has she territory sf ficient to be cut up into four new States of conve- nt size, without New Mexico. It is clear, there fore, that, in the annexation,Congress contemplated the boundary of the Rio Grande as the boundary of Texas, and in accepting the conditions, the State may demand the line. If Congress had indicated the line to be the Sierra Madre, it was the right of ‘Texas to claim it, and the duty of Congress to make it good. Justice to Texas requires, theny that she should bave the territory; the may hold the government to the contract of annexation.

M. Max Maretzek, the new manager of the Astor Place Italian Opera eompany, now on bis way to this country, has engaged the following artistes, who will form his troupe the approaching season:—Prima donna soprano, Signorina Appolonia Bertucea; com- primaria, Signorins Amalia Patti; prima donne eon- tralto, Signore Giulietta Perrini and Rossi Cors! Signori Giuseppe Forti, Giuseppe Guidi, and Patti; barytone, Signori Beneventano and Rossi Corsi; basso singers, Signori Novelli and Sanquirico; maos- tro of the company. Signor Millet. We have already announced the arrival of Signor Forti, the tenor who has been engaged by M. Maretzek au nez et @ la berte of the managers of London and Paris. In oom- paxy with this gentleman has 0 arrived Signor Mil- let, the maestro, They are both in town, waiting for the other artistes and the manager himself, Deus ex machina, who will soon be among us. Signorina Appo lonia Bertuces is said to be a very pretty woman, and a talented singer. She has been, for several years, tached to the theatres of Milan, Leghorn, Amsterdam, Vienna, and lately at the San Carlo of Naples. The contralto, Signor Giulietta Perrini, comes from Turia, where she has been very successful. The opening opera will be the “ Otello’? of Rossint; and it will be followed by “ Semiramide,? “La Gazza Ladra,” “iL Pirata,” “ Anna Bolena,” “ Maria de Rohan,” “ Marino Faliero,” “ Mazaniello,” “Don Giovanni,” “Le Nozze di Figaro,” “ Norma,” “ Roberto Devereux,” ete. So far, all goessmoothly. At the same time, Mr. Fry, ov Mr. Niblo, or Benedetti, or Truf, or somebody, a) pears to be organizing forces for an opposition company at Niblo’s, From the statement, however, of one of the Maretzek’s, the preparations of Mr. Fry will not iater- fere in the completion of the arrangements for the other troupe. Mr. Fry falls heir to the scores, cos tumes, &c., of the late company at the Opera House; but, as far as any defictency of this kind may have been occasioned, it has already been provided for, ‘The price of subscribers’ seats bas been raised to a dollar anda quarter, and it is but fair that they who | have the exclusive use of the best seats, should pay something extra for the privilege. It would net be imexpedient to charge for such seats one fifty, er one sevent, in view of the guaranty of the most eli- gible pla ‘The opera expenses are heavy, and to sustain them, nothing short of a good list of subsori. bers for the reason, at a good price, can be relied upon from the beginning. The troupe of Maretzek is said to be tulented end harmonious. We presume it will be competent to meet the expectations of the opera-loy- ing, and opera-patronizing public, for he appears to be resolved, at least, to merit success. But we shall see. Ot Mr, Somebody's intentions gnd arrangements, we are not so well informed. Itis understood that he i# to open the opera season with a company at Niblo’ and that the price of admission will remain the same as usual—fifty cents. How two operatic houses are to be sustained in full chorus in New York, at the same time, it 1s somewhat perplexing to answer. Competition, however, is the roul of business, and one good effect in this instance, will be to scoure us the best thatis going. It isthe business of the managers to count the cost. If tho haut ton lighted, who eares if poor devils of ma- nagers are ruined ? Con. Wess AND THE ‘Apaoustaation. —There is not a more ill-used man than our cotemporary, Col. Webb, of the Courier and Enquirer. After trying to ruin the late administration, he applied to Mr. Polk, when the Mexican war broke out, for a brigadier-generalehip, but was refused, and the Colonel was deprived of the privilege of making the Mexicans feel his wrath. In the ordinary routine of such matters, Mr. Polk makes way for Old Zack, and the Colonel, under his administra- tion, too, 18 an applicant. In the meantime, how- ever, his bellicose propensities were cooled down, and instead of asking for a brigadier-generalship, he simply desired to get a foreign mission. As luck would have it, he was again disappointed, and, to cool his ardor, our gallant cotemporary tock a journey to the northward—to the upper lakea—where, in the vicinity of Mackinac, while pulling in the trout with a hook, he descaated oa the merits of that excellent fish, and dilated at length on the resources of our Western country, as well as on “ matters and things in general.” Betore reaching that extreme point, however, the Colonel eat beef. broke bread, and eracked wal. nuts, with General Cass, and managed, somehow or other, to get that statesman into a difficulty in | relation to his political principles. Notwithstand- j ing those disappointments, the Colonel is at his post as ueual, and in a long article in yesterday's issue of his paper, takes precisely the same ground in regurd to the cabinet that we assumed when the game cabinet showed their hands. He, like us, ubsolves the President from all blame in regard to the miserable policy which characterized the cabi- with us, that the old General, now in the White louse, is not to blame in the matter. Now, our gallant cotemporary must not be over. looked by the President; and, in order that the wound which was made by Mr. Polk, in refusing him a brigadier-generalship in the war with Mexi- | co, may be healed, we hope that General Taylor will give him the same post in the war which is to grow out of the difliculty between Mr, Clayton and M. Poussin, the representative +f the republie of France. We really believe that the Colonel is en- titled to this mark of favor, and we hope he will get it. Seriously, however, es our “ ancient friend and Pistol” agrees so fully with us in a mutual estimation of the cabinet, why cannot we agree on the line of action #0 necessary to pursue in such an emergency of public affairs? Ought such a cabinet be retained? Should it not be replaced by a new cubinet of able and honest meat Will not our cotemporary join with us in pressing such astep vpon the notice of General Taylor? With the good, honest, sterling old hero in the White Houee, we are both satisfied—we are all satisfied — but who is eatisfied with the preseat umbecile, silly, teapot cubinet?

It will be seen that the movement towards the forma ion of a legitimate goverament in Califormia, and her admiseion inro the confederacy as a sovereign State, is progressing quietly, but with certainty. In other respects, the news received from Califor- nia by this arrival ia not of mueh importance, but yet it is interesting.

There were larger sules of Harlem than any other in the list, amd the operations were for cash or seller's option. ‘he stocks was freely offered, but the purchasers were prineipally the bears, who only took enough to fulfil eontracts immediately maturing. Canton advanced fraction at the second board, with small rales, but the stoek ust soon come out In ‘age lots. The depreeiation in the property of this company, ret apart for tke payment ofserip Issued in payment of a dividend of $10 per share, about three years since, bas very much woaken- ed the confidence of holders in the value of the stock. Property valued et that time at one hundred and twen- ty-five thousand dollars, (upon the syatem practised by all tock compapicr) has recently been gold at auc- tion for less than twenty thousand dollars; and the holders of serip will only realize about $1 50 per share, instead of $10. If holders of Canton Company stock are keeping it out of the market, because they think ite own merits will rua it op, they may find ont thelr mistake when it is too late. It is, however, fortunate for these outsiders, who might bave been indueed to purchase, if the stock bad been freely offered, $+ much tor that bubble. It is our impression that people will get their open by-and by.

Once in a while, the seeret oporations of some of the leading residents of that scetion of the «ity come to light, and open the eyes ef those whe have been made toels of by certain parties, for the ad- vancement of some movement of great importanee to the wire-pullers, The most recent finaneist operation of this kind that wo have heard of, is in relation to the New Orleans Canal and Baoking Company. that a majority of the capital stock of this front of whieh is Matthew Morgan, Esq. of this institution are managed by thi back room of a little office in Wall street. The stock- holders in New Orleans, and the merchants in thet city doing business with the bank, have not the first word in the management of the concern, or # voiee in the choice of officers, Heretefore this has been rather an un- pleasant position to be placed in; but the Wall street ‘ompany willbe transferred, body and soul, to the breeehes pocket of Matthew Mor- gen, Erq., heneeforth and hereafter, for ever. Ineorpo- rated companies are, in all cases, governed and eon- trolled by the majority of stockholders; and, in most cares, the majority act for the best interest of the whole; but in this case, the loaves and fishes are mono. polized by a clique, without giving the minority what they are at least entitled te, viz , @ voice in the loeal ad- ministration of the company’s affairs. They have no ob- Jection to Matthew Morgen, Fsq., retaining the agency in this eity, which is worth frem thirty to fifty thou” sand dollars @ year; but they are opposed to the ap- pointment of George Morgan, Esq ,a brother of Mat- thew, as President, and the shipment of » eashier from Wall street—one educated in the modern sehool of nance, and thoroughly imbued with the Wall street sys tem. They are in favor of a cloan sweep of the present board of directors, presid: 4 earhier; but they elaim, and justly, too, a voice in the selection o candidates for the new board, for the presidency, an@ cashier, The New Orleans and other Southern etook- bolders propose that the officers of this institution be selected from residents of New Orleans that men be placed in that position who are intimately identided with the commercial and financial classes of that olty and who have, by long experionee, beoome intimately ig Of those who ere in the with the bank.
