Buenos Ayres again breathes freely; coercion is re- ‘moved, and business and politica are seeking their former The Cuse of Miss EMlc Carstang Against | "Vr sm ‘ehannels, The iate election has given a complete triumph ‘to the party that has been in power for the last eight years. They are known as the liberal party. They fa- Vor progress, encourage improvements, inaugurate rail- way enterprises, and construct public buildings. Among ‘their opponents, also, are found many men of intelligence and enterprise; but it ia during the dommation of the party pow in power that nearly all of the public works in ‘and around this city have been initiated. ‘The Convention which is to examine the constitution of the Confederation drags on but slowly. They hayo been ‘*m session now nearly two weeks, and they have just ‘fixed a time tor the election of President and Vice Presi- dent of theirown body, and this delay occurs though they bave no serious ments on any subject. They take things leisurely, They mect at about 9). M., or & Mute after, at abont 1134 P.M. ‘The Argentine meets on Feb. 5, at which time the jeatial Electors also meet. Buenos Ayres, by her delay, can have no voice in the election of Presidoni, ‘ap4, consequently, Santiago Derqui, a man very repug- want to all parties here, as it is said, will be olecied. His piel ag be elected by the aid of the vote of Buenos yres. President Lopez seems to be master of tho science of backicg out. He exhibits his skill in both committing im- pertinences and in backing out in the nick of time. For & year be has deflantly held in prison Santiago Canstatt, ‘an English subject, and to release bim Lord John Rua- well’s protests have been regarded as little as Consul Hen- derson’s remonstrances. An English fleet is manned for the Parana, and the Paraguayan steamer Tacuari is chased, baving on board the son of the President, who is com- meander in chief of the army. The Generai escapes, out the ebip is guarded in a neutral harbor, Just ia time to ata fleet from blowing up his favorite fortress of Fremaite, President Lopez orders the prisoners to be tried, aad pretends to inflict a punishment on Canstatt by mening him out of the country, for which he had long Gen. Bartholomew Mitre, late commander-in-chief of ‘Whe forces of Buenos Ayres, has become editor of the Na- ctional, a leading administration paper of this city. He wields a ready, polished and powerful pen. As tt is understood that Buenos Ayres has been coerced ‘back into the Confederation, Gen. Urquiza has resigned to ‘the Nationa) Congres _the pleniopotentiary powers con- ferred wy him to effect that object. Gen. Urquiza is fond of being called the Washington of South America, aad po doubt in this he supposed he was completiag the yesemblance. But Buenos Ayres is not yet inthe Con. Sederation, and may not be for years. ‘The hostile preparations of Brazil towards her Southern order continue, and the idea gains strength that she will Seon find Paraguay, the Coufederation and Uruguay uax- ed The Thos, J. bi is pursuing is work in the upper rivers, at present in t] rMmejo. NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS. We have received files of the Commercial Times and the ‘Tribune, of Buenos Ayree, to the 27th January, and ot the Qerreie Mercantil, of Rio Janeiro, to the Sth of February. ‘The news from Buenos Ayres ia interesting. The Com mercial Times observes that the beneficial effects of the peace of the 10th November have combined to manifest ‘themeelves very conspicuously during the past month: trade ie rapidly reviving, and tho state of the markets in general is such as to warrant tle most sanguine anticipa- fins for the future. Money is plentiful, and the rate of Mmterest continues low, which bas @ most stimulating effect upon the local trade. The season is not one of great com- mercial activity in all branches, yet transactions have ‘deen on s very considerable scale, At the same time the eapect of political affairs is more encouraging {than it hae Been for many years back, and hopes, apparently well Grounded, are entertained that the compact of San José ‘will be the first act of @ series which shall biad the dis- united Argentine provinces into one nation, inauguratiag & mew ayatem of government, ia which the wishes and inte- rests of the people shail be primarily consulted, to the ex- clusion of those persona! aims and objects which bave Ditherto rendered their free weatitutions a mere mockery and a by word among nations of jess liberal ideas. ‘The Argentine Confederation being re-formed, says the same paper, there seems overy probability that at last con- ‘sutational government will prevail. General Urquiza {s now the only man left who has power of bimself to rule; his term of office is nearty out, [His successor, whether he be Fragueiro or Derqui, will be a man without any such external aids to his authority og are possersed by the Presidentof to-day. He will rule only by the authority isveated in bim by Baad votes of the nation. Thas be must rule according to law; must consu t the will of the peopla wt largo, instead of carrying out big own private opinions, Jn fact, the will of the people will in reality govern the na- Wom, instead of, as heretofore, that of rome saccessful Teader. Thus the prospects of these States, politically, were never 80 encouraging as at present, aad,as the Yate war most distinctly proved, the people are ‘tired ot fighting. We may now look forward in confidence toa yee of peace, and, a8 a natural consequence, pros: ‘The Paraguay question offers no particular novelty.

From the very thin attendance on the floor of the Senate today at two o’clock, and in the gal. leries, one woulda hardly suppose one of the most ex- traordinary, and momentous measures of Congressions legislation to be under consideration, Yet eo it is; and ‘Mr. Nicholson, (dem.) of Tennessee, is engaged in an elaborate argument in favor of the Homestead bill, or the Dill granting’afree farm, of 160 acres, to every head of a family who may settle on the public domain, and cultivate said farm for «period of five years. The colleague of Mr’ Nicholson js Mr. Andrew Johnson, whese claim to the pa" ternity of this Homestead project cannot be very safely contested. Mr. Nicholson opens the debate, in order tha his colleague may reserve himself to answer some of the strong speeches which will unquestionably be made against the bill. There are symptoms of a long and ex- hausting debate on the subject, but there are also symp- tons thst the complete success of the scheme can Only be arrested by the veto of the President, There are two bills before the Senate, the House bill ‘and the Senate bill, the only material difference between them being in this, that while the House Dill opens the Prope domain equally to citizens and aliens, the Senate ill restricts this privilege of settlement to actual citizens.

Otherwise, we ap- prehend that the only hope against it is in the President’s veto, The prominent objections of the South to this measure are that it will squander away the resources of some three millions of the federal revenues, and the basis of a lari public credit in time of need, thus leading to high tariffs, ‘oppreesive to the South; and that it will too rapidly Gil up our Territories, and develope them inio new auti-slavery States, of the Kansas pattern, a short term of years, overshadowing tho perhaps in the proportion of twenty-four or twenty-five free States against or seventeen slave States. These Southern objections will sufficiently account for the sharply defined sectional division of the House upon this homestead scheme on the quvstion of the paseage of the bill in that body. Mr. Nicholson, however, pleads that the bulk, i(not all the present Tetrivories of the United States, will in any event be occupied py free white labor, and converted into free useless to attem the general fold com render Ht 3 thas Log age Og ath, States, and that it is to prevent it, while, on the other hand ith added to the country willa taousand te the treasury and ali sections for the sur- the public domain, in free farms, to actual set- tlers.
