On the 80th ult., Mr. from Georgia, moved, as an amendment to the earlier clauses of the bill, that the operation of the | one supposed : ial G vonstituted in | between England and the United States, must. be ‘Territorial Government which they con: renee rie see a Dated, Ses Atlantic; but peace can only be maintained by a Mexico. This amendment, which retained Santa | just conduct on the part of both nations, and any Fe in its dependence on Texas, was carried by the | ‘attempt on the part of votes of the Texan Senators, aided by those from | herself of further territo: New Mexico should be confined to the districts — west of the Rio Grande,i.e., to Western New | the South and South west, and by the fow from | the North who are systematically in*favor of every thing which will embarrass a compromise that is condemned as disadvantageous to the sacred cause of free soil. On the next day, July 31, Mr.Pearce of Maryland, a professed friend of the measure— after pointing out that the virtual effect of the power the scanty settlers west of the Rio Grande | to make Jaws for the + uch more numerous popula- tion dwelling east o! the river—moved that so | much of the bill as related to New Mexico should be struck out, on the understanding that the clauses removed should be re-introduced in their erigmal form, and without Mr. Dawson’s proviso. ‘This course, which was rendered necessary by the mode of pleas in the Senate, seems strange enough, b the clauses bearing reference te New Mexi- co, was readily carried.

Our caution will not sufler us to be be- trayed into a predictian; but we cannot help seeing that this is exactly one of the matters in which the lower House, returned by the collective population of the Union, will searcely be permitted to dictate to the Senate, which represents the aggregate of the States. On the other Rand, difficulues of all kinds are accumulating, and it seems incredible that either house of Congress will be willing to adjourn with- out some kind of provision for their setilement. The Texan militia. are positively stated to be marching on New Mexico, and nothing that we have lately heard leads us to attach a slight im- portance to the explosion of discontent which will imevitably follow \the announcement in California of the Senate’s decision. The worst symptom of all is disclosed by the altered tone of newspaper controversy in the older States. Itis hard to be- lieve that the sectional antpathies of North and South, which seem to have gained fourfold their ancient intensity in the single week between the beginning of August and the departure of our iatel- ligence, will exhale during the winter in nothing | more serious than words. The Balance of Powe: Amerte: From the London Times, August 20.) Moxims relating to the balance of power in Europe, derived originally from the astute politi- cians of lialy, still form a portion of the learai and the faith of statesmen even of the nineteent century. The diplomatists of the present day are daily cccupied in the task of keeping the various powers of Europe tn that relative order which, by arrangement, has been for some years past establish- ed emongst them; and every minute encroachment or change is viewed with extraordinary jealousy, is always opposed, and generally prevented. But while this superabundance of eaution is bestowed upon the balance of power in Europe, the due ar- rangement of it, a8 respects the world at large, would appear not to ceme within the sphere of duty sel-imposed upon European statesmen. ladeed, to them Europe would seem to be the world; beyond its limits they appear to think that th is no chance of a dangerous power arising, and conse- quently no reasou for fear with respect to any do- minion which now exists, or is likely to exist, in apy other quarter of the globe. This, neverihe- less, is a very dangerous opinion. If, at the pre- sent moment, we listen to the language of these who, on the continent of Europe, are deemed great authorities, we discover that their minds are pos- sed by one mant fear: their eyes are fixed u terror upon the great Northern potentate, amd bey speak of the overwhelming dominion of Kussia as the ever imminent peril over the freedom and destinies of the world. here is a party also emong ourselves, sharing in these alarms and dir- mal expectations of mischief, and who, like their continental compeers, are #0 completely oceupied with this one idea, and so pertinaciously confine their attention to Evropean combinations alone, that they can see ne er which threatens from rquarters hey pay no attention to rules of conduct which may be aid down by any country not European, and permit without hesitation a#s- sumptions to be made respecting territories beyond there special limits, w hich they would not tolerate fora moment if put forth with regard to any Lu- Topean State, no matter how insigoificaat. These observations are suggested by the corres- pondence which has lately passed betweea Sir lenry Bulwer and the cabinet of Washingto with reference to a treaty which was supposed bave been entered into by Mr. ChatSeld, on the pert of Englead, with the States of Yucatan and Costa Rica, the supposed purport of such treaty being to itute England t tector of these two Sta With the corres nee itself we have no foult to find, neither we object to th mduet Which it describes England have porened, or with the moxims laid down as the rule for our future proceedings Heary Balwer states to Mr. Clay, that Mr. Ghattield has had ne authority to enter into any such treaty on the part of England, and he further declares that it is not the pehey of England to constitote herself protec- tor of distant Staies. So far all is well ; but what, we esk, was the principle laid down by Mr. Clay ae that which gave the United States aright to ask if England had entered into any such treaty ? if informar re simply soug wder that the United ¢ * might shape its ree of con- duet with reference to the wew position of affairs which under such @ treaty would exist, then there would be no reason to complain, no ‘ground for reeenting the inquiry. Dut if this we inquiry,—if the doctrine were England had no right to ens , ance—if it were asserted that such a treaty would, by the United States, be deemed an unwarrantable interference in American aflairs by a European state— be, in fact, a caus belli ia the « ation of American statesmen—then we say thi at inter. ests of the world have been sactifieed by assent ing to & most absurd pretension of the United States, and by perm: her to estat un tioned a doctrine which, in fect, lay her t the wh American continents, from the North Pole to Cape Horn Mr. Jefferson, the most exclusively American and ambitious of the several Presidents of the United States, first broached the doctrine that the interests of America imperatively compelled her to declare that no European State should hence- forth acquire additional power or territory in Ame- rice, England, for many years after the declara- tioa of independence by the United States, was in possession of territeries on the North American continent more extensive than those of any e nation, whether European or Americen, Fra soon after that event sold her American dominions to the United States; Spain lost her great province of Mexico, and the whole continent was evidently destined to be the property of tke two sections of the Anglo-Saxon race—the one under the flag of England, the other under that of the United States. The maxim of American policy thus firet ehunciaetd by Jefferson was, in fact, directed inst England, and we are now led to inquire why the one section of Englishmen, whoconstitute some aa be t ates, may re ory and influence upon the continents of North and South America, while thoee who. still remain English, and constitute the a nation are to be from any parti i advan) .
