A. Mr. Martin was at time a clerk in the General Land Office. When the public service requires an agent to be sent from the de- partment, and a clerk is selected for that purpose, the ‘uniform practice of the office is to allow his salary to con- tinue, and to allow him, in addition, his expeases, or a jon therefor.

A. your question raises two points. The first is, the manner in ‘which the slavery clause should be drawn up; the second, he form of submitting that clause to the people. I bad, much ditcussion about that time with various individa ‘ng to the manner in which the slavery clause should be drawn.

Several of the Southern States had held public mectings, in which they had urged the Constitutional Convention of Kansas, which wus known to be prosiavery, pt_ a pro-slavery constitution, send it to ‘Congress, and demand ad mission. I had taken the ground that the © vention sessed the power to make a compicte acd valid constitution without submitting it to. the people, yet that it would be most unwise and impolitic, uncer the circumstances, for the Convention thas to act Jind the issue been presented in that shape, this Union would have been in peril, and that I knew full well. beory effort of mine, ther » every advice I gave, was 0 to arrange the slavery clause e free State and pro-slavery in my opinion, ina ma. sustain the consti Th were my in tle constitution that t democrats, who, united, w Kansas, could harm ‘ben made, by a popular views, and Lurged and enjoined upon Mr, Martin that jority in tation, w to. ‘whatever influence he could carry them out.

Yeay sir; I know the President tendered him the Consulate at Liver pool, and I think, from my conversation with the Presi dent at the time, that he was anxious that Colonel Forney should take the Consulate at Liverpool. Colonel Forney lind desired to come to Washington as editor of the orgaa, ae it Was termed; but there was very violent opposition upon the part of some Southern friends of the administra tion—opposition particalarly from Virginia—to Colonel Forney s coming, and the President's idea was that if he would go to Liverpool, by the salary of that office, and nico by the use of bis pen as correspondent of the Gnaion, luc would be able to realize a very handsome income, and A write down the prejadice of the South against od then he could returm here in the course of his solmitistration and be to all the friends of the istration, and if he still desired to do so be could boretne the editor of the paper. @ De you know whether Jatge Black pressed upon the President equally with printing of the Post Office blanks to Colonel Fi A.

ARCHBISTO? vo mas at ORK, 26, 1860. fm—It is but within a fow days that'l received your communication, dated Ist April of this year. 1 would ‘beg leave to say that nothing is left undone in the church to which I belong which is not in harmony with the best rests of society. Persons purposing to be married “published in their respective churches, on different public oceasions, previous to their matrimonial contract. Every precaution is taken to guard against the domestic aniquities which are too often sanctioned by other otticial officers of civil matrimony. I have therefore to say, with the utmost respect, that many cases have occurred, and are still liable to occur, in whieh it is for the Catholic priest to remedy privately the evils which the corruption of morals may haye entailed, so far as any remnant of private conscience is concerned on the part of the delin- quents. But I beg to say, once for all, that unless under coercion, I shall never betray these or similar weaknesses of fallen human nature, when it turns up in the form of penitence. If the State appointed a salary for clergymen to perform marriage, or any other religions act, as its official agent, 1 can understand that the State might have aright to inquire into the manner, time, circumstances, &c., of such act, and to hold its agent responsible to its jaws. There may be those who will admit the obligation, in the absence of these conditions, to render the State an account of their stewardship. But I beg leave to say, with the utmost respect for aM human legal authority, that Tam not one of the number. Iam prepared for a prison, or for a scaffold; but I ain not prepared to obey & requisition which would violate the obligations of my conscience in a country like this, in which it is said that civil and religious liberty is the right of every citizen.

The Governor of Mag- dalena, in his message, says:—‘‘The President of the Coa- federation is making great preparations for war, and is : ctively recruiting to increase the army, and some of the States, judging themsolves threatened by these measures, are preparing to enter into the fratricidal struggte, and are arming and organizing their militia.” He concludes by recommending a declaration of war against the federal government. The Governor of Bolivar is equally beilige- rent. He says:—The federal Congress, according to general opinion, has placed the States ina position to choose between ignominy and war.’ The State of San- tander, it is believed, will also soon array itscif agvinst the general governmen!, which, with Cauea, now in an actual state of revolt, will make four ont of the eight States of the — Confederation which, it is believed, will seom be in open hostility to the government at Bogota. Notwithstanding these war- like demonstrations, the patriotic men of the country are exerting themselves to prevent a revolution. No one is more actively engaged in (his laudabie undertaking than Gen. Herran, late Minister to the United States. Thore are others again who believe that peace can best be pro- moted by bringing forward Gen. Mosquera, the Lead and front of the revolutionary party, as a ewididats for the Presidency. A move in that direction has already been made at’ Bogota, the Senators and represent .- tives in Congress from the States of atinder and Panama haying actually nominated him for that office. Among those who are prominent in this move- ment is Senor Manuel Murillo, who haz great influeace with the liberal party. ‘The election is to take place during the present sam- mer, and upon its result depends whether the revolution shall be continued or discontinued. Should the liberal party succeed, it is believed that peace will be re-estab- lished; but should it be defeated, the probability is that the revolution will be a bloody’ aad protracted one, un- Jess Gen, Herran is chosen President. In that case all parties no doubt wonld acquiesce, as his well knuwn prudence would at once inspire confidence among ail classes m the stability of the governmen Senor Nunez, Senator from this State, in a communication which appeared in the Tiempo, of Bogota, 15th May, states that the party who has offered to par- chase of the confederation its reversionary rights in the Panama Railroad is the ageut of Mr. Ambrose W. Thomp- son, of New York, who has authorized a larger bid to be made than the railroad company. Sonor. Nunez further says that he is not unwilling that the Governor shonld part With the reserved rights in the road, ‘provided the company would assume the pay- ment of the national debt of New Granada. The public will be the better able to appreciate his modesty when told that the national debt of this country aimounts to forty-two millions of dollars. Gen. Mosquera has récently received a sapply of six hundred muskets from Guayaquil, whieh lewis to the inference that President tila, of Peru, who had prev sonaely seat the same arms to Ecuador, is uiding aad abetting Mosquera. Sr. Jose Obaldia, Governor of the State of Panama, has Just made a publication in which he condemns the course of Gen, Mosquera in arraying himself in open hostility to jeral government. jose Maria Aleman has recently beea appointed Vice | Consul for Peru at this port.

You are aware that in New Granada, instead of electing a Vice President, the Congress designates three persoas who are to succeed the President and each other in case of death, &., and who, from that circumstance, are termed designaclos. Weil, the designado secundo, Senor Vicente Cardenas, arrived in Carthagena some time since, and immediately took passage in the sloop Carlotta for Aspiawall. While on board the sloop he -incautiously related that he was going to the United States to purcha~e arms and ammuni- jon for the general government. The sloop, owing to continued calms and want of pro- visions, was forced to put back to Carthagena. Some friends of Nieto, the Governor of the State of Bolivar, heard of the matter, and the result was Nieto arrested the designado, Cardenas, but after. wards allowed hiin to remain at the house of the Ameri- can Consul. Mr. Mathicu, however, refused to be re. sponsible for his safe a. Governor Nieto imme- diately placed gnards around the Consul’s house.
