Hong Kong, Oregon, Washington and Utah Territories. The news from California is meagre and unimpor- tant. Upwards of a million and a half of treasure has been landed here by this arrival, and the mining operations throughout tle State are represented as being generally satisfactory, although the present is adull season on account of the searcity of water.

The cotton market waa steady yesterday, but as dealers were awaiting the receipt of later foreign news, and the stock being reduced, the sales were confined to about 7002 800 bales. Flour opened active, with an advance, but at the close prices fell back to about the previous day’s rates. Wheat was less active. Prime to choice qualities were scarce. Fair Canadian white sold at #222; a amall lot of choice Southern do. sold at $2 24. For quotations of other descriptions we refer to another column. Indian corn declined about 1 cent per bushel. Rye sold at $1 22. Mess pork sold at $22 37} a $22 50, and prime at $21. Other provisions were heavy. Sugars were heavy, and the sales made by auction indicated lower rates. Coffte was also heavy, and the sale made by auction was at about 10c. a 11}e,; nearly a fourth of that advertised was not offered. Freights were firm, with moderate engagements for Liverpool.

Fae Election and tts Issues—Abolitionism Against the Federal Constitation. « In a few days the people of the State of New York, under the forms of law, will be calle upon to decide a more important question than ever before has been forced into their elections, It is the first time in the histery of the Empire State—a State which enjoys so bountitully the benefits of the federal Union, to which it is indebted for a great share of its prosperity and wealth—that its people have been called upon to decide, as far as their ex- pression cau determine the question, whether they give sanction or not to the insane projects of William 11. SewafW and his wicked abolition confederates for the dismemberment of the republic. Since the days of Bencdict Arnold, no treason to the cause of popular freedom—no plon to subvert the liberties and to destroy the industry of the American people—has been con- cocted which at all compares with the infernal crusade now waged against the federal con- stitution by the abolition-republican conspira- tors, It is the devil's own work, done in his best style of deception, and sustained by argu- mente and devices which had caused transgres- sion in a thoneand Edens, and entailed the bit- ter curse of sin upon a thousand worlds. The abolitionists come before the people professing only to desire the non-extension of slavery into what they term free territory. That is the solitary ground upon which they ask to be elected to State offices—offices which have no more to do with the subject than with religion ‘in Japan or mining in California. That, however, is their crecd --their avowed purpose. That euch is their real object, there ought not to be a man in Now York to believe. They approach their ends through that pro- fession; they seek to lead the people to a gene- ral opélaught upon the constitution through the issue of non-extension. Is this not evident from all their arguments? Do they speak much of slavery in Kansas? Do they not con- unually ding in our cars the wickedness of holding slaves-—that it is unlawfal and sinful to maintain slave Mr. Seward said at Bat- flo, “Slavery was never established right- fully anywhere; nor was it ever established by y. It is the violation of every line of the Declaration of Independence, and of the whole suminary of personal rights contained in the constitution.” Is thisan argument against the extension of slaver, Is it not an open assault wpoa that institution everywhere ? Voces it not look to the dismemberment of the American republic? Slavery isa violation of every line of the Declaration of Indopeadence, and of the whole summary of porsonal rights contained in the constijution! It is then a vio- Jation of the constitution--a violation of the principles of the Revolution. If this argument s any meaning at if Mr. Seward would give it effect, it mast slavery, with his party utlerly void here. It has nolegal existence, There is geod for anythiog—if it h all- ation of the constitution it surely The argument of Mr. Seward points to his real purpose. He has nothing, or very little, to eay about Kansas—about the noa- extension of slavery. He cares nothing abont that: his olject is to prepare his party for the broadcr and deeper project of disunion. Mr. Seward clagifies the American people into three gradce— the patrlelans, (the privi- leged class), the plobcians, (the middle class), and the slaves, held by both. He thus paves the way for his argument, by consolidating the States, obliterating the State governments and throwing the whole people together, making each part responsible for the tastitu- tions of the other. He drew hie Ukeness from an old Noman portrait which bas not a fea- ture like the American system, and he comes to his conclusions from the deep and damning ticason of his own treacherous and dishonest nature. Tle knows he bas nothing to do with slavery-—that ft is an institution recognized by the constitution of our country--that it existed in twelve of the thirteen States when that coa- stitution was adopted; and yet he declares to the people of New York that “it never was es- tablished by law,” never rightfully existed, and “is a violation of our compact of Union.” The coming election involves the question whether the voters of the Empire State concur in such an infamous programme of disunion, That of the extension of slavery is a pre. text. It has nothing to do with the election. It is the higher question--whether the Northern States are prepared to dissolve the compact of Union, with a view of arging a violent crusade against slavery in the South. look this issue in the face, Suppose the republic is dismembered: will the opponents of slavery be any better offY That will not abolish slavery—it will not give them any power over the matter, Even if Mr. Soward is right, that slavery was never ostab- liehed hy law, it will exist just the same after as before the dissolution of the Union. Wilt the Mhariseos of the negro siripe—-the soli rightoous abolitionisie—dare to fnvade the South as the dofenders of the slave, and to give him freedom? If the slaveholdors ore a privileged clasa, murt be ve Let all voters will they be lees so after the Unton i olved? Is that measure a remedy for slavery fa any sense whatever? But slavery, they say, must pot go into Kansas, The powple of that Terrt- tory will decide that question. If it goes there it will be in spite of the abolitionists; if it is excluded from Kaneas, it will be because it capnot be employed there profitably. In a0 way can the aholitionists affect the question. They never prevented the extension of siavery —they never abolished “slavery—they never modified the condition of the slaves—-they never relieved them, in or out of freedom. 1 is enough for them to effect the overtbrow of the federal Union, because it is based upon that institution. Mr. Seward declares that slavery is agyres sive--ihat it has planted itself on the coast of Mexico, is extending to the Canadas of the North, and threatens to secure dominion over this continent, and to drive out freedom from the republic. Mr. Seward knew when he suid this that of the twelve States in which slavery existed on the adoption of the constitution but five remain, excluding Delaware, Then there were twelve to one; now we have sixteen free to fifteen slave States. The progress of free- dom has been certain. It bas already acquired dominion-—having a majority in both branches of Congress—a dominion which is likely to be more complete and absolute when Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, Utah, New Mexico, Ne- braska and Kangas—nearly all of which are physically free—shall come into the Union. Is it Mot time for Seward & Co. to cease such unworthy and groundless arguments? Is it not time for the North to be just in its treat- ment of the South? We exist in the Union as free and slaye States—a brotherhood of local sovereignties—we .have conceded to the people of Kansas the right to de the question for themselves. In the name of common sense and justice, then, what are we warring about? Why are we agitating’ What are we quarrelling about ? Isthmus of BuezInter-Oceanic Pojects. A project has recently been started in Nu- rope, by Monsieur Ferdinand de Lesseps, an old Porizian editor, and lately atiached to the French diplomatic service, for cutting a canal through the isthmus of Suez, so as to connect the Mediterranean with the Black Sea. The scheme, it appears, has met the sanction of Mohammed Said, the new Egyptian Viceroy, who has granted to Lesseps a privilege for or- ganizing a company to dig the canal. It would be ninety leagues long from Suez at the head of the Red sea to TPelusium, in the bay of that name, on the east side of the Delta of the Nile, and Lake Menzaleh; and would cost it is estimated, for a width of one hun- dred yards, and a depth of water of eight, not more than thirty-three millions of dollars, The project is not a sew one; eimilar echemes are mentioned even in the old history of Egypt. But this is the first time that its realization has appeared feasible, British capitalists are expected to take hold of it; and if, a8 is confidently predicted, the report of the engineers pronounces the scheme practicable, there can be no doubt but they will. The value of such a canal to the Asiatic trade is shown by the following table of distances (in leagues) from the ports mentioned to Bom- Via Suez. Vie the Atlantic. Disferewe. 6,100 300 At ihe very time M. de Lesseps is endeavor- ing to stir up the capitalists of London to take stock in his enterprise, other schemers at Washington should be stirring the commercial sense of this country with a view to revive the old, abandoned, but still tempting scheme of a canal across the Darien isthmus and head of ihe South American continent, by way of the Atvato. For two hundred years at least this scheme has been a will o’ the wisp to men of adventurous minds; nor is it at all singalar that such should have been the case, so mani- fost, so tromendoys would be the advantages of the work if it could be completed. The trads with India, every day shows it more clearly, is the prize above all others worth striving for. Even two centuries ago, it was so coveted that the noblest spirits of the day spent, and many Jost, their lives in searching for a shorter road to the spices, and the silks, and the treasures of China and the strange Indian lands; stumbling upon Ame- riea by accident in the search, and no doubt cursing the obstacle which impeded their west- ward voyage, But what the India which Hudson and his cotempo: 8 sighed for com- payed to the wondrous lands we know to- day? <A single month saved in the East India ~veyage would enrich—not a man, or a crew, ora mereantile firm—but a nation, and would pour new wealth into the lap of trade all over the world. But these canals are only part of the great contest between Europe and America for ibe Asiatic trade. If Europe appears to have the advantage—a mere hypothe but let it pass --in the greater practicability of the Snoz en- ual over that of Darien, we have the start i the matter of railroads. Many months bave clapeed since the Panama railroad realized the dream of Paterson, and hound the Pacifie to the Atlantic shore, Nor is this all. We pub- lished yesterday another letter from Mr. Bat- ler King, showing that the scheme with which hie name bas been so long connected, is by no mesons abandoned, and that there of building it along the territory eatly quired from Mexico. T ty with which the projectors of the Pasitie railroad cling to the scheme shows that they at least are convinced of its practicability, and augars well for the accomplishment of the enterprise, as soon as long continued prosperity and per haps State extravagance warrant tho expeadi- ture. In Enrope they are along way behind us fo ibis respect. They have built one railroad, 180 miles long, from Alexandria to Cairo, and they contemplate—indecd they have alreasy begun to grade the ground for ~an extension of the line to Suez, eighiy-four miles further, But it fs obvious that thts line, even whoo completed, will compete with t route under severe disadvanta dred and sixty-four miles of r aver Fgyptian sands, under an Peyptian tempers ture, are enough to frighten any one, and distance, &e., will present at the transmission of large t duce.

From Moscow several roads are to run southward and westward. On one side a line will bring Odessa within a few bours’ ride: on anotier Cracow and Warsaw will he reached, and the Vine produced vorthward to Berlin and south- ward to Perth aud Vienna, Though this live could not compete with the canals or even the Suez and Panama reutes for large quantities of goods, it could nevertheless do a large business in the lighter and more costly com- wodities of the East. Silks and jewels, rare spices, and the other expensive luxuries of Asia could be brought from East India via Persia and Moscow, and distributed through- out continental Europe, far more quickly, if more expensively, than by any other line. Forty years hence the old clipper ships with their ninety day passages, and all the old fun about crossing the line, will be as much a matter of history as the romances of He- rodotus, Mexico Coumsc—Tum Nicaer Qoestion.— The recent foray of a company of Texan rangers into Mexican territory, in pursuit of a gang of marauding Mexicans and Indians, to- gether with the convulsed and shipwrecked condition of the Mexican republic generally, has wakened up our elder Seward organ all of a sudden, touching the designs of “the slave oligarchy” of the extreme South. It sees clearly enough, on account of the nig- gers that are run off. into Mexico from Texas, that the “oligarchy” are bent upon annexing the northern Mexican pro- vinees a8 fast as possible, so as to feuce in their slave property. Accordingly, the atten- tion of the new abolition league is abruptly called from Kansas to the defence of the Mexi- can frontiers, Now it strikes us that our Seward philanthropists have their hands full of the affairs of Kansas, and thatif they go at this crisis into a tilt against the Texas rangers and Mexican aunexationists they may fail both in Mexico and Kans Mexico will keep till after the election; and when we consider that Preston King voted for the an- nexation of Texas, it may damage his cause to place him at this late day against the ab- sorption of the adjoining provinces. We mast admonish our Seward organs that a little dis- cretion is a good thing with a standard bearer enlisted from the ranks of the enemy. Inronrant Accession To THE Harp Suii.ts.— Senator Dixon, of Kentucky, (late Clay whig,) has written a letter to the hard shell demo- erats of this cit¥> endorsing their platform to the backbone. This Mr. Dixon is the real author of the repeal of the Missouri compro- mise ; for it was upon his original motion in the Senaté that that memorable Eunday after- noon Cabinet council was held, which resulted in the amended report from the Senate Com- mitice .on Territories, through Mr. Douglas, repealing the Missouri line. The acquisition by the hards, iherefore, of Senator Dixon, is the gain to their side of the real author of “sqnatier sovereignty” for Kansas and Ne- braska. So much for one of the “live whigs” of the West, Nownne New.—One of our cotemporaries is shocked at hearing that Morrissey, implicated in the murder of Bill Poole, “has taken a prominent part in the polities of his ward this feason, and wasehairman of a committee for nominating a candidate for Police Justice in the Sixth Judicial district.” There is nothing | surprising in this, On the contrary, is it not per- | feetly natural that our pugilists, “short boys,” and such, should take a “prominent part” in the eleotion, especially of police justice’? Do not all classes of our citizens look to their own security in the clection of our public ctiicers? Of course. poxnin’ Anounp.—We kee that among the lecturers announced in the “rural districts” for the black republican ticket, Gen.
