Immediately the debate on each article was be- gan; but Deputy Sr. Juan Jose Baz having insisted on the discussion following its ordinary course, {new debate opened which lasted for three quarters of nn hour, aud at a quarter to midnight the proposition of Sr. Baz Was rejected by 61 votes against 43, ‘At this same hour and in consideration of the advancing ‘me, without the principal question having been discuss- cd, the proposition was put for summary discussion, 80 deputies having at two o’clock in the morning approved it, aguinst 24, of whom several asked the permission to put their vote on record, which was granted, From this moment the question was decided; for ac- cording to the computation of the votes we gave in ex- tract, the disposition of Congress with respect to it has been made known; thus, at three o'clock in the morn- ing, the decree referring to the suspension of guaran tok was drawn up,and a quarter past five the pro- 1 having already been approved by both united com- «sions, by authorization of the government the roll was called in order to proceed to its discussion by articles and to vote on them, * * 8 * * * [Editorial of El Heraldo, of Nov. 3. | With the exception of four Legislatures which have been in favor of the General Congress, according to the Execu- tive of the republic, extraordinary powers for reestabllsh ing order, by employing greater severity, the others either rejected the said proposition originally put forth by the Legislature of Guanajuato or did not consider it as worthy of consideration, but at the same time the official gazettes, which are to be regarded as the organs of the Governors, from whom neceasarily they have to receive their instruc- tions, openly declared their fall opposition to these powers. Will the General Congress come to the resolution to. put itself in war with the Legislatyres of the States? “Will it take upon itself to run tho risk of a revulsion which may be profited by the reactionists? It is sad to say, but this will be the consequences whenever the supreme govern- ment, supported by the resolutions of Congress, pretends to execute its decrees. If the States do not declare them- selves in open rebellion, endangering thereby, pubilc tranquillity and the existence of the institutions, they will with indifierense regard the orders of the general govern ment, which with its extraordinary powers will be reduced to this district only and to one or two States, (From Le Tralt d’Union, Nov. 2.] According to the Moniter, Mr. Bonito Juarez had, the day before yesterflay evening, arrived in Mexico, The news is premature, but will, within one or two days, be realized. Already, by anticipation, this event created a sensation: for it is of ‘such a nature as to considerably in- fluence the actual situation. Yesterday, on All Saints day, when the official world ceased all serious occupation, rumors less respectful for the solemnities of the church were not the less afioat throughout the city. It was reported that the new ministor of the interior (Juarez) is not, with regard to the question of extraordi- hary powers, of the same opinion with the rest of the Cabinet, and that he will put condiions to bis taking pos- gestion of the portfolio. The fact was set forth that the Legislature of Oajaca had not backed the proposition of that of Guanajuato; and this forbearance had been attributed to the well known influence of Governor Juarez on the representatives of his Sute. People went even farther, and pretended that Mr. Juarez will declare that he is unable to go hand in hand, in the council of ministers, with cer- tain members of the Cabinet whose convictions and tenden- cies do not appear to him to be in full conformity with the exigencies of the policy the government necessarily has to follow. Amongst the ministers who do not the political sympathies of Mr. Juarez were cited of Finance andof War. Finally, the Governor of Oajaca was ropresented as coming much nearer the truth, in his man ner of thinking, of Messrs. Miguel Lerdo de’ Tejada and Juan Jose Baz than that of his colleagues in the Cabinet. Starting from this point, commentaries bad a free play. If Mr. Juarez, it was said, takes possession of his portfolio, we must expect a ministerial modification; if, on the contrary, he does not enter the Cabinet, war will be declared between the party of the progresistas and the government. We shall soon know what to think of these rumors, which we recommend our readers not to consider too serious, There was on Saturday last @ short public sitting, and a secret one for some Moments. In the public sitting there had been read, first, a com munication of the Minister of Finance, enumerating those of the Treasury who refused to swear al second, a communication from ia the 1 "ut ‘exposing the motives which prevent M.

The vote for adopting entire the portion of the report of | the Commissioners on the suspension of the guarantees | took as we have already stated, on Friday, with a great majority—76 votes to 31. This frst trial is of such a nature as to let us easily foresee the final result. The discussion was animated for a short time, Tt is said that Mr, Juan Jose Baz declared that he be: Neved an energetic ant intelligent dictatorship to be necessary for the country, widering it as preferable to any constitution, and that if he was opposed to grant ing extraordinary po was because be believed the actual government was we: It is further stated that the discussion between Messrs.

COVERNOR WISE A_Bold and Brilliant Letter—The Southern IN THE FIELD. Ultras Routed—The Administration and Its Defended and Sustained— ition” Killed Off—The Laid Down to Senator THE GOVERNOR'S LETTER. Rucuwonp, Va., Nov. 16, 1857. You have seen proper to interrogate’ me, through the Enquirer, as to the position I occupy touching the election of a Senator of the United States; and, believing that they are in good faith, fair and not unfriendly, [promptly reply to your questions as publicly as they are put. For more than (welye months rumors have been eireu- lated that it was my desire and design to oust Mr. Hunter, if 1 could, from his seat in the Seuute of the United States; and my name in that connection has been bandied about in conversation and by the press, with a licence which assumed the air of authority. By whom, with what motive, to what ond these rumors were started, it is not my purpose now to discuss. My object is to allay ex- citement and prevent division in the democratic party of Virginia; and to that end I aver that these rumors are un- authorized by anything said or done by me, that they are without foundation, and I defy the production of the proof or evidence that I have ever expressed or manifested the imputed desire or design. After my arduous struggle in 1855 for the salvation of the democratic party {1 fondly hoped to have the sympathy and support of all its sections in Virginia, and to be able to act with all in equal confidence, and to serve all in the office I now fill. Tregret to say that in this I was disap- pointed. A short time only elapsed, after entering upon my duties, before a jealousy and a distrust were seon where I most expected contidence and friendly wid and ounsel. I did my best, by turning away from this, to avert both its cause and its effect. But, inopportune!y for harmony, the contest for the nomination for the Pesidency camo on early in 1856, and my preference for Mr. Bucha- nan, entertained for many years, was again made known. Ladhered to his nomination, for Feasons which now must he too obvious to every candid and conservative patriot and democrat, to need either argument or excuse. No er nominee of the party could probably have been elected. ‘There was not one of his competitors for whom I would not cheerfully have voted. Thad, in fact % among other friends of Mr. Buchanan in 1852, in uominating Mr. Pierce, and in 1856 had intimated iny approval of other candidates. But, having for bis cminent abilities and services preferred Mr. Buchanan in 1844, 1848and 1852, aud deeming him the ouly available candidate in 1866, i co- operated zealously with his friends in securing for his nomination the vote of Virginia, But no effort was made, no resort had to any meana, to secure this, which could justly be complained of by his rivals and their friends. He liad without effort, comparatively, two-thirds of the delegation of Virginia at Cincinnati, and that majority did not fully represent the constituencies which preferred hin. And, notwithstanding the attempts of thoce op posed to his nomination, to destroy the prestige of Vir- zinia by atten lit her delegation in the Conven tion, and, in fact, to nullify a majority by a minority, by dividing her districts as Well ae the State, and to count the Old Dominion naught in the nomination, her dolega- tion stood firm, as it had done at Baltimore in 1852, when thirty-four successive ballots were cost for James Ba- chanan, and the vote of Virginia deciced the Convention in his favor. The election proved how pre-eminently popu- lar be was in this ‘good old commonwealth.” Tuirty thousand majority proclaimed him the choice of Virginia, | \ y far more than two-thirds, if not four-fifths of the demo- Tatic voters. A majority of the politicians in place pre. erred others, Dut the people preferred bisa by au over- whelm ing, almost unanimous voice. The election was marked by extraordinary manifesta The contest was—whether sectionalism , caused by eign influence of old England and New England States, and upon the lake b or our own malism of democracy should drive it back further he «ther States, should invade us further South, | nat. North Vern a decided that iseue; but fora time it was | extremely devotful. And in the midst of that doubt there was heard 6 low muttering in the South of a subdued, but discoktent among son few of those who voted even for Mr. Buchanan's election. The feeling, grumbled rather than openly expressed by them, was of a hope that the black flag might be raised over us, to rouse the South pple to a revolution which would throw off the bonds Union. 0 bad that vd States, under the open pyoclamations of the election, T for one would have waited for no other “overt act’ of aggres. sion or oppression; but | was, therefore, the more anxious tw secure a democratic triumph, to prevent revolution and to preserve the Union. This separated me from the ox tremiste South, I doubt whether they would all have followed me to the lengths 1 would hay one had cause for revolution been iy but whilst 1 was for warding off extreme \aues electing a conservative democrat who could unite all patriots and save the Union,they—a mali and very ex clusive elique—were for driving 1s upon revolation, re luctantly supported the democratic nominee, and at heart were disappointed at the democratic triumph which saved us from ail ‘last extremities.’ The horse and the rider of black republicanism were overthrown, but in the general rejoicings there was no shout from the hearts of the exclusive extremists. They, however ho. nest, were sad, and their countenances were dark and dismal in the midst of general congratulations and smiles that the national democracy had saved our country once more from extreme peril ‘Soon after the election of President, and during all of last winter and spring, that which was at first a whisper became more and more audible, until it broke out into a loud and openly uttering voice, “that there was a plot to supplant Mr. Hunter in the Senate by Governor Wise and his friends.’ Knowing that © was no foundation for this in aught I had said of or authorized to be said or done, and the hypothesia presentiog itself that there might be enemies of both Mr. Hunter aud myself who were trying flo sow tares between us for their own selfish and sinister ends +till averted my mind from other definite conclusions te specting the authors ang the motives of those reports, and continued to remain sii@ht. But the time came for the or gunization of Mr. Buchanan's cabinet. It was arranged by bimseif to bis own liking, on bis own responsibility, vo Suit his own confidential relations in office, and was com. posed of a majority hern men, fof all sections of Southern democracy, preferring no clique, and of a caste design to harmonize all elements in the party, North and South, Kast and West. it was organized on the na Uonal platform of the Cincinnati Convention, As the head and representative of the party, he generalized as well ax he could the personel and material of the great democracy of the United States. This was what a President of the United States should have endeavored to do. It might not please all, individually or sectionally, but it was for all ane not for apart. And the great mass of the party was well content and generally acquiesced ia the organization Bat the President had hardly been inaugarated, had but just taken bis seat, had v4 nothing: done nothing besides hia address and selection of bis indicating a poliey—had when a porcu y point of policy au pistration, and the attempt was made to damn the whole democratic party of the North, and every Seuthert® man who trasted them.

Nothing is so fatally sure to kindle’ the pale and sickly beam of that “ blue light” line of sectionaliam into a lurid flame of fire to devour our country, as for Southern democracy to doubt, distrust or denounce Northern democracy, after such noble sacri- tices as those they made in the campaign of 1856. Southern democracy never has done this, and never will until nationality, in the seuse of American’ patriotism and devotion to the union of the American States, ceases to burn in American bosoms everywhere, North and South. to pursue? to submit the constitution the and have an and of hacemuation, the shi Sono Sere, the legal votors are opposed Wed by the Coaveution, Ubelr voloes ought to prevail; a form ought not to be imposed thom, and cannot be but for a day, and their power ought not to be snatched away from a moment.

If strict jus tice and fairness are observed, the pore, will not be incensed; but if a minority shall abuse the adventi- tious advantage of an convention to send their constitution to without first submitting it to the people, they will be goaded by ind y to acts Of violence; they will tear the constitution into tatters and trample it into the dust, and upbraid the pro- slavery party with a willingness and an attompt to rule per fas aut nefas, aud they will organize more stringently, doubtless slavery, than they would ever have done at first. Again, if the constitution be submitted to them first, it must be submitted to Congress afterward, to see that its provisions are republican, and it must pass’ in review of the representatives in as well as in the Territory, But, if not submitted to ple in the first instance, and Congress accepts it, and nm the people of Kansas change and adopt another, aud it may be a worse constitution, this latter willnot havoto be and will not be submitted to Congress atull. Aiming then at the same ond, to protect the equal rights of slaveholders and to end the ex- citement and strife soonest and safest, which is the bettor licy te ppeal to the peopie at Once, in a peaceful, Pur and gust mode, or to be obliged at last to abide by their’ anger and resentment, after impairing our own moral attitude before the country? Are we not in danger of having our attitude impaired by another question which has arisen since Mr. Hunter’s letters were Nationality in opposition to democracy or State rights, I oppose. | oppose all that sort of federal nationality which would consolidate us inte oue centralized despotism. T loathe that sort of nationality which pro; and adopts compromises of any sort, of the constitution or for the con- stitution, But the nationality of democracy, which sup- ports and defends the constitution and its striet con- struction, which maintains State rights and State equality and keeps the faith of compacts, which guards the Union and the country against foreign and domestic foes, | honor and cherish and glory in. And this is the national democracy which this opposition, openly developed as early ag April last, in the South assails. Ifthis be stricken down what have we to rely on or to ally with in the North? And yet it was to strike at this—it was to follow up, not to begin the blows, that the momenta Governor was sent to Kansas and he moved in his office his speeches were seized on as a pretext to assail the Northern demo- cracy and the administration and its friends. Destroy confidence in these and then the riot of ruin would bogin. It was then that conservative democrats began to ask—Is this opposition or not? If this be what is called the backing of friends, what is the opposition of focs? Is this opposition dangerous or not? ose is it? Who are re- sponsible for it? Who backs it? Whence does it come?—to what tend? It was no time to stop and dally with the minor matter of Mr. Walker’s stump speeches— delivered with what motive, to what end, pro or con-slavery—with or bad design, no one could fairly “decide without knowing all the sur- rounding circumstances and difficulties in which ho was involved. He had been a Mississippi Senator. He had been honored and trusted fe he South. He had done more for the annexation of Texas than any Southern Senator. He had been Secretary of tho Treasury under a Southern President, and had done more for free trade than any man before or since his time in the Cabinet. Surely the President could trust him not to betray the South which he had thus served and which had thus honored and trusted him, and not to betray the North which had born him. And he is anable and sagacious man, too, whose talents might be trusted to form the best judgment on the spot as to the best and most politic move: ments. But w! he acted wisely or foolishly, saga- ciously or had blundered, or his intentions were good or ‘bad, his acts and motives were nothing compared with the weightier matters of the country involved in this sudden and insidious opposition, which gave no time for developements, or for dispassionate examination and proof, or even’ for just condemnation of him, if he had done wrong—but began a hot and heavy war upon him written? If Governor Walker did not go behind the re- turns which he proclaims were “fraudulent and simu- lated” on their face—and whether they were 80 or not, we have as yet no moans of determining—which were no re- turns; ine word, if this be true, he did right, of course, in disregarding and setting them aside. He usurped no author- ity,if his report be true, and but did his duty in repudia- ting fraud upon the elective franchise, and in spurning the insult which demanded that he should give it his official sanction and countenance, An executive has no judicial or legislative power, and must not dare to usurp either; but it is something mere than merely ministe- rial authority, and has the right of protecting itself from fraud and imposition. The ministerial officer even has that power. Forms were made to preserve the substance of justice and truth, not to aid fraud and imposture, and falsehood and injustice. Siaveholders and the people of slaveholding States are too high in their moral tone to con- sent to owe the establishment of slavery anywhere to means like these. And yet some of tho sublime oppo- sitionists who profess to despise treachery in Governor ‘alker, in this age of lawlessness and violence, do not hesitate to array expediency against justice, and to arraign a Governor of a Territory because ho dared to refuse to be particeps criminis in what be knew to be a gross and patent fraud. Mr. Hunter, I aim sure, will not endorse or countenance such immorality as this. And a difference on the other points, where we do not agree, shall not divide me from him. He is eminently right in one particular—that Congress has no right to prescribe the elective franchise for the voters of Kansas on the adoption of their constitution. The bona fide inhabitants, by their Legialature or Convention, must prescribe that for them- selves. By this Tam far from reflecting upon the Rock. ingham resolutions, for I underetand them to mean and to express the s me thing. I know not by whom, or where, they were written; heard not of the meeting before it was held, and the resolutions were published some dayg be- fore I saw @iem or knew of them; but, judging*Trom themselves alone, they seem tome to agree with Mr Hunter in contravening the ideas which were at first started by his own friends, that oziy 2 particular clas: of voters, at first defined by’ act of Congress, were to be allowed to decide upon the adopiiy of the coustitu tion, if submitted to the people. Mr. Hunter takes ground with the Anquirer from the elart on that point, though, f think, he had noe n to take it in combatting the Rockingham resolutions which don’t controvert it at all, but, on the contra:y, couten i for the principle of the Kansas bill itseif—that tie peopie must be left to govern themselves, without the intervention of as acorrupt “satrap,” a felon traitor. This could not but reflect upon the administration and the party which appointed and retaiued him in plaee. It was not in- genuous to pretend to discriminate between the “ Pre- fident and the Governor of the Territory.” “Tike man, like master.” If he was this criminal, Mr. Buchanan was bound to kyow , and if he knew it, be was no better, but rather worde than Governor Walker. reasoning tis opposition knew waild vetze on the public mind, and would, if uncontradicted, impair confiience in the aumin- istration. It was making an advorse impression rapidly, when the Brgvirrr interposed with its trenchant pen, a3 of old, and arrested the rush of the charge on the nation- al democracy and its representatives in power. the the enquiry: “Is not this rank hostilit ps It took up ly? Is not this a pared and pretuature opposition before the adminis- ration has begun {ts course—before it has met its first Cougress, or sent its first message? What does it mean? Whose is ity Who backs it’ 1 thank the Enquirer for that blow. The shade of the old Napoleon of the press siniled in his parental hovering over the Engairer, when that sturdy biow fell in its stroke for his darling democra- cy. In my inmost heart I felt right well when that brave blow was struck. It was brave and bold to strike it, for the public printing, as well as the Sena- torship was at stake, it seems. The activity in the elec- tions last spring looked not only to the incumbency of Mr. Hunter, but to the ineumbency of the Anquirer too, and, doubtless, to all the great interests involved. The Enquirer assuredly has saved the democracy of Vir. ginia from being involved in this porcupine opposition. All this time it was not known whether Mr, Hunter took though many of bts most ac- tive partizans did; and henco it Was suspected that if he was not a participant in it be Was to be the beneficiar: ‘t, if it should succeed.

He desires, then, and doubtless expects to be able to support the administration in the main. And this being 80, be cannot of course desire or expect the oppost tiou thereto to sucered. Saying that he knows of no prac tical tests af this time which will bring him into. collision with the administration, he distinctly diselaima, for aught he can see at present, both the intent or will and the spirit or purpose of the opposition. He, in a word, ignores responaibility for this opposition, which has risen’ ao sud. denly and which is «o sweeping in the Sowgh. With this = laration of his, so understood, I have no issue with Mr. unter. ne that he seems to be opposed to the submission petitution of Kaneax, by her Convention, to the @ fide \obabitents and legal voters of that Territory. He takes the ground, that if the people are silent about the power of the Convention in this respect; that if the Convention was not expressly restrained trom procianming whatever forto they adopt as the conatitution of the State , then they have the power so to proclaim it, and to send it to Congress without submitting it Woghe people. 1 know that there are precedents for this Exercise of power by conventions, but{ the precedents are in their inception ex- stionable cases, and the doctrine which upholds them is, i) my bumble opinion, anti-democratic. The trae doc that the powers not delegated vd tothem. They may grant sucl Convention; but if not granted, it is reserved, that a con- +tivton, formed and proposed by a Convention, which is bot a representative body, shall be submitted to the people, who alone are sovereign. Convention to form a constitution is not sovereign or supreme. The act of making a State is the highest act of sovereign power, and is the act of humanity, vext highest to that of Deity, in making « being of any sort. The act is no less than to create a sovereignty itself. AS ® democratic repubfican, then, T would never delegrate conventional powers to any body of agents to create a State, without requiring them tw submit the actto their principals,the people.

When Governor Walker's nomination shali be made to the Senate of the United States, if made at all, it will go before Mr. Hunter as one of the Senators who are to try its Atuess and propriety. And, if upon a full and fair ex- amination of his course and conduct in Kansas, he fads that the Governor has exceeded his authority , has violated his oath of office or his duty in office, or has betrayed the high and sacred trust reposed in him to see the hws, and especially the Kansas bill, faithfully executed, and to see that ali the people from all sections were alike, i go ly and impartially protected—tben Mr. Hunter will be reprehensible, indeed, if he does not vote to reject his bomination, and to rebuke the mal-administration. If Go- vernor Walker has really attempted to dictate to, and to threaten the Convention or the peoples of Kansas, in any form or to any extent, he deserves the severest reprebension. But, before he is con- demned, he ought to be heard by his judges, who are to Sit officially upon his ucts. If I aim not great- ly mistaken in ‘the ability and motives of the man, he may be able to show that the very words of his speech, quoied by Mr. Hunter, are capable of a far differ- ent meaning, aud are anything but unfriendly to the South or to slavery He may have meant to throw upon Topeka partizans ihe responsibility of not voting, so that ifa proslavery constitution should be sent to Congress, the plea contd not be put up that the people were not im: plored to vote and decide the iasue for themselves. And, instead of meaning to dictate or to threaten, his very words quoted may have meant simply to remind the Con- vention that their work was to be submitted to a body— Congress—which had solemnly settled the principle, the people of the Territory were to adopt or reject’ their civil institut for themselves, without intervention from any quarter. This may have been, and seems to have been, an awkward way of conveying the meaning, s it Is $0 © the true meaning, Mr Hunter might find he had mistaken a friend for a foe. But, surely, it is not ex pected of Mr. Hunter or myself, at this distance, with to- tal want of correct infor sures, to condemn the G pos jon as to his motives or mea. vernor of Kansas, with a pur- prepense to reflect on the administration and to 1 all who bonestly doubt and defer judgment to ng fair hear 1 know Mr. Walker very well, and have seen bi rve tried.
