The in'eiligence from Cali fornia and Oregon is unimportant. A great gold excitement existed in Carson Valley, and companies bound for that region were fitting out at Placer ville.

We have important news from the west coast of Mexico, te the effect that at Mazetlan, in addition to the late violence to United States Consul Smith, the captain end crew of the schooner Ada had been mized and forcibly ejected from their vessel. The British Consulate bad been attacked by a party of the National Guard, and an attempt made to tear down tbe flag which floated over the official resi- deace. There events had elicited strong animadver- sions from journals at the capital. The Extraordi nary states that it has good eathority for saying ‘that the United States goverament is about offering ‘8 loan to Mexico, without asking anything im retarn that will derogate trom the dignity of the latter re~ pubiic.

The rival Tammany committees have finally agreed to disag'ee, and last night, when it became known that all negotiations had failed, the Wilson Small organ'zation issned a cal! for a primary elec- tion cn Saturday evening to choose delegates to the Democratic State Convention, which assembles at Syracuse on the 10th inst. The Cooper primary elections are held to-n'ght; so two delegations will be choren. It may be that at the eleventh hour some comprom‘se may be patched up and the city democracy present a united frontto the democracy ofthe State. While the leaders are quarelling the masses are moving, and are evidently animated by the right spirit. Last night a most enthusiastic re- peal meeting was held in the Fourth ward, in which some four thousand persons participated. We have received a copy of the correspondence which has passed between ex-Judge Whiting and Mayor Wood respecting the Lowber claim against the city. The ex-Jadge manifests a lively interest for the city treasury, mourns over the rained state of our public credit, and predicts a wide spread dia- | aster from the “wanton, wicked waste of public property.” The Maycr approves of the steps taken to institute proceedings to test, not oaly the title but | the circumstances under which the purchase of Mr. | Lowber was made. The Mayor gives a wholesome | philippic to Comp*‘roller Blagg, who, he says, would | save much of the embarrassments, losses and litiga- | | tion to which the city is continually subjected if “the executive head of the city was recognised by Mr. Flagg.’ In conclusion, the Mayor says, in his letter to Mr. Whiting, that he shail require to be weil satisfied not only as to the honesty and justice but as to the legality of the proposed proceedings before he becomes a party to them, with “persons liable to such eccentricities of disposition and ideas of official duty.” Judge Whiting’s rejoinder is dashed | with “‘a little bitters.” The cotton market waa without quotable change yester dey, while sales embraced about 5¢0 0500 bales, Flour was | again Lo and for State and Western sape: fine to lowand | medium exiva gracesthe marks: gave way tothe extent | of about 10 cents per barrel, at which reduction there was | more tctivity.

Captain Tyler tried the part of Old Hickory with his vetoes, but they broke him down. Colonel Polk did well enough: yet he was anything but a giaut.

Now, this Kansas letter hee rometbing of the old Jacksonian leaven ia it, and its good effects in cousolidating the scatter- cd fragments of the democracy will soon be manifest. To the readers of the New Yors Henaty the matter of this Kaveas letter of Mr. Buchanan ia his own vindication, will appear somewhat fami- liar, for it is substan‘ially the defence which we, in hie behalf, have been pleading for some montha past It is thisthat he bad no other alternative, on assuming the dutice of the Presi- dency, than to accept the legacy of the lozal authorities and laws of Kaneas as turned over | into his bands by the last administration and the last Congress. He had neither the legisla. | tive power of Congress to repeal the | existing laws of Kaneas, or any of them, tor the judicial pewer of the Supreme Court to pronounce the local authorities or laws unconst!- | tutional. He could only accept them as he has fourd them, aad do what he could under the cir- | cumstances to ece them faithfully exosuted, as far, at Icaet, as consistent with the poace and good, order of the Territory. | Thove bogus laws, denounced by Gen. Case as ‘a disgrace to the civilization of the age,’ ha either been subsequently repealed or practically abardoned by common consent, like, for exam. ple, « late Maine Liquor law of thie State, which | roledy coneidered worthy of respect, and which | hoe fll to the ground a desd letter from the | outect. In the eame way those outrageous border tuflina acte of the first, and the unquestionably | bogus Legislature of Kaneas, have never had any | ©. ‘The laws which Mr. Bucha- 7g, and must enforce, are those | ot the forms required to change rom the dependent condition of a Terri nan is enfor lawe pre ling | Kanes tory to the independent position of « sovereiga Btate, But itis upon this important point that the President has resolvid there shall be no milscon- erption in regard to his policy ot his intentions.

[t will be said that this forthcoming pro slavery Convention will unquestiovably take good care to provide who shall and who thall not vete upon the ques- tion of ratifying the constitution; and that with the United States troops to back them thoy will fird ro difficulty in a ratification But what then? This constitution will still require the rati- | ficstion of Congress; and euppoeing it to be ratified there, aud that Kansas is thus admitted {nto the Union as a lave State, what will it ava’! the pro- slavery party if the free State party eon really | command three-fourths of the free white actual residents of the State? Within a single year, un- der the sovereignty of a State, they cau upset thcir slave State cousiitution, and decree the abolition of slavery. Tous, ove would suppose ihat under almost ary rori of a State constitution the free State party of Kansus would prefer the | sovereignty of a Stale to the vassatage of a Ter- ritory. But if the free State party of Kansas choo to yote upon the question of ratifying the forth- coming constitution. hard, indeed, must be the rictions against them if they cannot carry the claim. And chanan’s inaggural and the protestations of Gov. Walker can be reduced to the disfranchizement of more than balf the people of Kansas upon the question of their fundamental law? We cannot believe it. We believe that Mr. Buchan- an’s letter, like Governor Walker's declarations, | means a fair test before the people, and no jug- gling or emuggling Kansas into the Union as a slave Siate. The Convention (pro slavery) clect- ed to form a State coretitution will shortly meet, and ina few weeks we shall know the practical | signification of thelr work. Any judgment upon | the matter, in advance, would be mere conjecture. Ore ihingis certain. The position of Mr. Bu- chagan and bis purposes are no longer in doubt Ilis letter will completely silence the fire-eating recession agitators of the South, and reduce the | issue in the North upon Kansas within a compas which every man can comprehend, and to those timple pricciples of fidelity to the constitution and the laws which every good conservative citi zen, North or South, must approve. There may bes Northern agitation raised upon this letter | second only to that of the last Presidential elec- bat as the solution of this Kansas squabble remains with the people of Kanaaa, and with Con- gress, we the people of New York will have abundant leisure to attend to our own local affairs, and the despotic doings of our bogus authoritics at Albany. Progress of the Financial Struggle, We do not often notice the commeats which our cctemporaries think fit to make on the finan- elal course of this journal Our epace is very limitcd, owing to the pressure of advertisements, ard we try to fill it ap with useful matter; which leayes os but litle room to expose tho nonsenge of journals which don’t know anything, ard the | trash of journals which, koowing better, are paid | to conceal the truth, This must be our excuse for not noticing earlier the stuff which the Wall | street organs bave contained latterly in refereace to ours:lves. We are told that the Henato is “de +h” and “ fiendish’ (in emall caps); that this is an “1]l omened” ard “incendiary” journal; that we are “frantic to ruin the country; that cur “ vision wicked,” that we are “jackals which assemble to | Gevour the carcass ere the victim ia dead.” These | sre only a few of ihe flowers of rhetoric which we find in the journals which are owned, hired, or subsidized by the eto2k gamblers, speculators, ard moneyed monopolies of Wall street. The public will thus perceive how fuithfally the Hensro has dircharged ite duty, and how truly and tellingly it hea etruel at the root of our present disordere. The men who call us fier dish and devilish and incen and jackals are the same men who bave stuffed the pockets of this community with worthless railway stock, to the utter ra‘a of thousands of fami- ard the complete proztration of some of the mort important branches of trade. They it is vho, for the last year or two, through the same journals which now contain against us, have been exborting and imploring nod beegeching the farmers and the merchants, and the men of small savings to buy railroad ttucks—to wit, Eric at 50, New York Central at 85, vigan Southern at 70, Llinois Central at Reading at $0, and other stocks in propor- Their abuse of the Henatn dates from the hour when we opposed this altempt of theirs to shift a load they had diehonestly swelled, from their own thoulders to that of the pcople of the 120, tion. country at large; the least reflection will ex- | plain its motive and its sceret: aod the least | common renre will enable every one to decide which course has been the most beneficial to the country, the course which hae urged people to put their money in railway stocks, or that which has warned the country against them. The people of the United States must never forget that between them and the speculators of Wall etreet there is nothing at all in common, | The speculators will cheat and «windle them year out and year in as long as they live, if they ; they will print and birc newspapers great and email to aid their swindling operations, and serve as the decoys to their trapa: and those newspapers will perform their part of the bargain by abusing and denouncing any and every one who ventures to interpore to pretect the innocent public against the dithonest tricks of these very corrupt knaves. That the Herary bas been right, from first to last, in i's policy in reference to the railways, the events of the past fow months bave convinced every one: even those who were the most virulent againet this journal may now be heard uttering the opinions which they abused us for printing six montts ago.

All there disasters have to come, end come they will. If ever anything was written in the book of destiny, it is that the months of Sep- tember and October of this year are destined to witness amore severe stringency in the money market than we have had for years; not on a0- ccunt of this or that accidental failare, but simply because our demand for foreign products exceeds cur evpply of domestic onea. Our debts, in a word, for the moment exceed our assets, and we have no United States Bank to shoulder the re- sponsibility and bridge over the gulf till Janu- ary. ‘For a week or so, the banks may hinder the export of specie by refusing to diecount for their beet customers, But this policy capnot be pur- eued for many days without producing the same result as a suspension of sprcie payments; nor indecd can the merchants be expected to ruin themeelves fo eave the banks, The drain to Eu- rope can only be dammed up for a time; it will go cn next week; and our bauks may consider therselves very fortunate. if at the close of this month, they have eight miitions of specie in their vaults.

How far the banks are susceptible of being bullied we cannot say. Not the mest foolish thing we have heard among the outerics of Wall street is that the Hr- nanp has caused this panic. We certainly do pre- tend to rome influence in matters political, social, acd financial; but we never suspected we could overset the commerce end finance of a great na- tion by one single word.

He obtained an immense blud- | geon and paraded Wall street like a fighting boy from the Bowury, threatening to knock every- body into kingdom come if they dared to talk or venture upon speculatioas in the misfortunes or mismanagement of the United States Bank. During the last few ycars, since Webb be- came a member of the church, we begun to think that he had picked up some moral | prirciple and common sense; but of late his blun- | dering and blastering, his impudence and arro- | gance have proved to us that he has returned to | his old ways—that he is still the same miserable | being that he has been from his yoath. He is ut- terly beneath our notice; sunk far below our con- tempt. We pity him for bis misfortunes, which | have extended over a period of twenty-five years; his blunderings, and turnings and twistings; his | bankruptcies and tamblings. But for bis inso- | | lence, Lis vulgarity ard his threats, we have | nothing bat scorn and contempt.
