The eubject, however, went forth, w astreely discassed, | and found a unanimous coveent from all parties as to the exigtence of the aforesaid mysterious aad extraordivary treaty. Far from there being any such compact between tis, We were questioned hy the Miuister of Foreign Affair of the government of Buenos Ayres as to our right aud intentions of conveying 80 targe a force iato the waters of the Parana, to which the perfectly eatisfactory repiy was given that we intended ia no sense to violate any obliga tion of international law or of treaty stipulation with re- gard to the vavigation of the waters of La Plata, and that eny attempt to arrest the course of any American vessel, wearing the American flag, in her asceot of the river, would be regarded as inconsistent with the good relations exiating between us. Of conrae the question could not be pressed any further than that, since it would place the government of Buenos Avres in the very awkward situation of threatening to en- force what lays entirely beyond its power todo. And, moreover, I will do the Innocent Minister of Foreign At fairs, Signor Mitre, the jurtice to say that his communica op wes ot presented to the flag officer until we were nearly athonsand miles wp the river, and that we must naturally credit him with no barsh intentions against us, in coprequenre of this tardy act It was a very harm lees and stereotyped inquiry, made of all alike, and an- ewered al:ko. Dismiseing Lopez, Urquiza and the city of Buenos Avrer, there are one or two matters of our own that yet ink vs to La Pata, and ex ite our interest as they claim cur attention.

The fox was drawing his companions intoa trap of his own. Th2 Paraguayan ventured to observe and suggest.

Captain Page is about to proceed up the river on his interesting and highly valuable explorations; ‘and Soally the Paraguay expedition is being fat disbanded and despatched to the United States.

Uf the former there bas been enough deposited at Rosario to supply a fleet three times as large as that commanded by Flag Ofti- cer Sbubrick, whilet of the latter there has been barely a svfiiciency.

Is there, then, avy insuperable obstacle to a substantial union of She opposition in 1860? In other words—Wit Jo the sepub)hcans sgist on as essential, that the other bea of the opposition cannot concede to them? Doubsess, there are republicans whose opinions and feelings with regard to slavery are such as are not accept able to copservative whigs. We, for instance, regard tuo continuance of buman slavery as at once a great crime and A great blunder—as the main inciting cause of our coun- try’ misfortunes and perils, We co most earnestly de- lieve that Virginia, for example, would have bad double the population and treble the wealth she now has, bat her soll never been pressed by the foot of a siave. So of North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee; 60, emphatically, of Maryland, Missouri, Texas. But even we have no idea that the federal government ever will unoertake to intermeddie with the existence of slavery in apy State of this Union, We ask that goverbment simply to let slavery in the States alone, protectio; the inviolability of its mails aod tbat ‘persoval liberty which the federal constitution guarantees to every Citizen, leaving the ovorthrow of slavery to the natural growth an difusion of intelligence, humssity and religion. That the federal goverameat should cease to be the active champion and propagaudias of slavery, whether in its domestic or its foreigu polisy, ‘woco urge and insist, Beyond that point we do not ask ner expect it to go. The annexation of Texas, under the circumstances and concitiong of that apnexation, the overthrow of ta Mis. souri compact, whole course of federal proce-dings ia Kangas, from the hour that border ruffians were first per- mitted to harass and avd abuge her free State settiers ‘without resistance or rebuke from those appointed aud paid to administer the laws there, down to the culmina- tion of the Lecompton fraud, we hold to be geoss depar- tures from that attitude which it was the duty of tne federal government to maintain with regard to free- dom end slavery. So with the monstrous pro- fect. of paying one bundred millions or over for the Island of Cuba, for the single purpose of constituting Anew buttress and support of the slave power ia our Union. Surely it cannot be necessary that ons should be a deadly foe of slavery in order that he should realize the gross partiality and injustice of such projects as this. We do not ask the federal government to spend millions to strengthen the free labor interest in our Union. We protest ageiost spending millions for an opposite purpose. Who says that this protest is not justided? Nor do we afk vor desire the proscription of slavehold. ers or pro slavery men by the federai administration. If they ivsistou proscribing us, why then thoy raiso an issue which we must meet, and the hardest fead off, Bat we are quite willing to return to the policy of the early Presidents, under whom no man’s opinious respecting ry wore made a test of his fituers for office. Now it notorious, bo man is permitted to hold offive wao is in aby manner an oppeneut of slavery. What the republican party unitedly demand and insist on ig suck a change in the polisy of the federal gorern- ment ag will render it no lopger @ patron aod partisan, ‘but en opponent of the future extension of slavery. We ineigt that in future tt sba'l act with regard to slavery ex tension ia the spirit which induced Jefferson to devise aud Wasbington to eanction its interdiction ta tae federal Territeries, and Genera’ Taylor to favor ite exclusion from Ca)iforuia, So much, in essence, the republicans mast apd will insist on. How many of tho other wing of tho opposition will object to ih? Ia other words, how many of the conservative whigs desire that the federal govern. ment shall continue to be employed, as it bas been Ubrovgb the several democratic administrations since ‘Tyler's apostacy, a8 an agency tor the propagation and diffusion of human slavery? We OO DOL DENEVE Lowy tuere are ten thousand voters in OMuvratia OrgeMIZ won ony or should the Union outsice of the national Who desire the extension of siavery, or that the federal government shal! favor such extension. In our tutercourse ‘With Southern whigs—and it has pot been very limited— we never met one who did s0, who does no; call himself a democrat. If, then, we are not essentially at variance on this point, Wo insist that no insurmountabie barrier exists to preveat the “fusion” we desire, We belteve that Maryland, Delaware, and Missouri, with possibly Kentucky, Tennca- eve, aud North Caroliaa, may be carried in 1860 for a_na- tional ticket which shal! be frankly but inoffensively los- tile to the extension of slavery. A few words as to mea:— As we degire the open aud hearty co operation of coa- | servative whigs to belp us elect a repudiican President, | sould auch be nomiaated, we ao not begin by notifying those whiga that we will not support nor vote for one of their number, should one be put forward as the opposition candidate. It seems to us consistent neitacr With good policy, goo manners, nor even good faith to do 80. Mort certainly we shouid prefer an original republi- can—Gov, Seward or Gov. Chase, for instance—but we shall beartily aud zea'ously support one like John Bail, Edward Batez, or John M. Botts, provized we are well assured that his inflience, his patronage, his power, if choren President, will be used, no} to extend slavery, but to confine it within the States tbat seo Bt to uphold it, And when we suy this, we ark those who insist that the slavery iseue ia sabordiaate, ‘and that questiorg coucerning the tariff, iaternal improve ments, &c., ought to predominate, to moet us in the samo spirit’ You say, Messrs. Conservatives, that what the country eminently needs isa readjustment of the tariff, £0 a8 to afford at once adequate revenoe avd incidental protection to the exposed and suffering branches of oar national industry, ‘y well; do you doubt that Gover- hor Seward of Governor Chase, if President, would commend end approve su a tariff? Mind, we are not now urging that a diatinctive republican sbould be selected as the opposition standard bearer in 1360; we ere only showing that if a repablican sbould be so nomi nated, you ate bound by your own principles to sustain bim. ‘IC tne republicans are good enough to vote for a candidate of your own stamp, they are xood enough to b “gai for by thore of your way of tainking. Why not? As to our valiant repuhlican brethren, who keep reite- ratiog that they will never support any but a dietinctive, Or'gioal republican, and that the platform of 1856 must be reaflirmed verbatim in 1860, we simply say it is not wise to deal in rash promises, rash threats, nor rash prophe- cies. You will donbulees do what is best in 1860, what- ever you may think or say now; and it isnot wise to utter hot words which may return to p'ague you hereafter. If | 80 original republican shull be our candidate in 1860, you | will want our conservatives to forget that you ever threatened to oppose one of their sort \f nomioated; shile, if our nominee should not be a republican of ’66, you will want to forget thoce threats yourselves. We say, then, to the exclusives on either baad, keep cool, Victory is clearly withia reach of the opposition—a Victory over which both republicans and conservatives will bave ample reason to rejoice. Let it not be fooled away by a childish strife about names, When spaech tends to irritate and distract, unspeakable is the wisdom of silence. (From the Washington Nationa!

Some months avo the Now York Tribune formally pro- pored to disband the repablican party, and sabatitate for it a union of all the opponents of the adminietration, with. out regard to their opinion in relation to slavery or Kaow ‘otbivgism, embracivg republicans and Fillmore men, slaveholders and pro siavery men, non-slaveholders and anti slavery men, arranging them ali on the simple groand | of opposition to Mr. Buchanan aod his policy.

Not a single republisan Press, or politician or convention of avy note, assented to the proposition, but in all quarters it fell under the die- Approbation of the friends of treedom.

Tae victories they won were repulican, not opposition victories. They were not intolerant, not proscriptive, but, constituting the only organized party opposed to the administration, they de- fined their own issues, pursued their own course, leaving old whigs, conservatives and Native Americans to vote with them or witha a pro slavery aiministration, as their Noe apo Fhoutd dictate.
