CHILE. manning Opening of the Agricultural Exposition—Re- ceguition of Cuba as a Belligerent—General Items. i. ‘i VaLparaiso, May il, 1809. The great event of the week has been the formal opening of the Agricultural Expoattion in Santiago. ‘This ceremony took place on the Sth, in the presence ofthe President and Cabmet, the Diplomatic and Consular corps and {he most distinguished inhabit- ants of the capital. The building is simpie, no ex- pense having been incurred in decoration and dis- play, while every effort has been made, and success- fully, to obtain perfect commodiousness and thor- ough utility. The opening address was pronounced by Mr. Alvaro Covarrubias, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, whose note to the Spanish admiral accepting the war on the part of Chile was so highly commended. The speech was worthy of the occasion, and were it not for its considerable length your correspondent would translate it for the Gelectation of the readers ofthe HeraLp, The orator expatiated principally upon the solid benefits to be derived by Chilean agrt- cuiturists and by the people of the repubilc gen- erally from the acquaintance with the fatest im- provements in machinery destined for thelr use, and hoped that the market for foreign enterprise now being opened would redound to the profit of both producer and consumer, The diferent South American republics are well represented, Giile, of course, is foremost with her wheat and copper ores; Peru sends 2 superb col- Jection of sugar samples, together with tho famed paca wool; quinine and sitver or fro! i ae res—shVer rigs Pasco; Bolivia eontributes wit!

The Exposition mayybe pronounced a success, from the attention bestowed upon it by leading wen, and from tue tact that alusost ail the wachines oa exhibition have becn @ready sod to farmers and miners in the republic, The agents of the manufacturers are confident of satisfactory resulis, The debate la the Senate on the Cuban question was exciting as well ag interesting, and flualiy, as is mentioned below, Was carried favorabiy to the patriots, Reference was made to Mr. Seward’s speech at Havana, where he was reported to bave hoped that Cuba would be Jong under Spantsh rule, and fears were entertained that the United States would not accept the Chilean invitatioa to co-ope- rate. The Presient, it is understood, 13 deverimimed to go even further, and shortiy to recognize Cuba as an independent republic, ‘his eXuiuple would doubtless be immediately 1ollowed by ail of the re- publics of south America, and the cause might be benefited thereby in opening so many ports to the ae eee that, should the war continue, would find lucrative employment in operaung against the Spautsh trade in Manila and the Plilip- pine islands, On tue 50th ultimo the following note was written, but pot made public until such @ short time before the sailing of the steamer that your correspondent had no time to forward the translation:— DUrAREMENT oF FouRtow Arrarns, SANTIAGO, April 2), Lse2, Excellency the President of the repubiio, having the tenor of your Excellency's uote dated the December last, which was remitted to this govern- sto the provisiousl government of the Cu- Kingston (Jamaica), me with the ing the following reply? dat ‘ang The siied note of your Exculiency, after explaining the a of the i hed origia, object and p: jarreotion in Cuba, wverninent of othe Cuban patriots as belligerents, and to ald them as the simllar character of the to countries would oblige this republic, at the employing all Chilean influence with other nations to’ avoiding the continuance of the barbarous acts now practised by the government of Spain.” ‘Before proceeding further I mast be allowed to assure your™ Excellency that this mment has regarded the recent ovects transpired \n Caba with that live y interest demanded by their Janportance, not onty om account of the bonds of interest umiciag two American enuntries, but alao from the fact taat the present insurrection in the Island of Cuba is exactly an- alygous to that which, oecurring in the commencement of the resent century, attained the glorious end of the indepen- jence of Chile afd of th Rations of this continent.

This would have been done st an early day vut for continued severe bodily ailiction. Therewarks to which [ specially refer are as follows:— Tho following condensed extracts are taken from the elabo- ably book of the Hon. A. H, Stephens oa the causes Gud Ja attempted vindication of the per jeesslon :— “in the hature of the Untied States government and charac- ter of ise Union ean alone be disgovered the remote but real causes Of the War.

It grew out of opposing views as lo the nature of the goverament, aad where, under our rysteu, uli uate sovereign power or paramount aathorily resides.’ Mr, viepbens bas a pertect right to use bis time and talents Jn eoif-justiucation xs an alder of the rebelllog, but he is not s, justisaoie in even uniatentiovaliy drawing apon the orthodox Stato rise, principle additjonal obloguy by his attempt to show that “opposing views" as to those rights was the true cause of the civil war. What Judge Nicholas means by ‘the orthodox State riguts principle’ he has not stated, nor bias he Jotunated whore Ihave in the book to which he refers “unintentionally” or otherwise attempted to draw upon thi, orthodox principle, accordiag to lis idea of it, additional obloguy or obloquy of any kind, Nothing certainiy was further from my design than what is thus tmputed to the result of my labors. The gceat object with me was not self-jus- Urication bareiy, aa he intimates, but the vindicar tion of the only true State rights principles which are consistent with the facts of the history of our country. On these alone our enitre fabric of con- stitutional liberty was based in the Legiuning, and in these alone can it be maintained and preserved for tue future. These principles, from the ladisputa- ble and irreiragibie facts of history adduced in thelr vindication, aud, 1 may say, established beyond the power of refutation, vecessarily carry with them tue sovereignt, of the several States, Whatever ideas Judge Nicholas may have of the orthodox principle of State rights, 1 venture to at firm tiat it would be impossible for hina or anybody else to name 3! single right Of a State or any sills yi principie of State rights under our system, which joes not depend for its existence upon the necessa- ruy admitted ect ge A of the several States. There igo such ting 48 State rights withoat State sovereigaty. iho States severally possess no power nor enjoy any privilege by favor grant or deiegation. All ther rights and powers, as well tuose retained as those delegated, are inherent aud sovereign. ‘This is an indispatabic.trath, It is equally true on the otver side that the general gov- ernment possesses no power by inbérent or sovereign night. its rights aud powers are held hy delega- tiva only, aud fell in trast by delegation from tae sovereigi States constituting 1. Of course I speak of matters as they stood ance bellum, If the facts of our history be as set forth in the volume referred to (and the world is challenged to disprove them, then the cogclusioas to which they lead are mevitabie, even though they lead to a come pieve justification of the sovereigu right or secession as the only sure check aud barrier aguinst the usure pation of undeiegaied power on the part of the general goveruiment. Iu the domain of reasoa the conclu. s.0n3 Of jogte are mexorable. Tnis is ihe appro- priate dowain of history. Within its limits my iabors Were strictly coniined, But my object im this note ts not to join or raise Quy discussion with Judge Nicholas on tue matter of tue orthodox State right principle. It will be time enough for ine to do this with him or anybody eise wea there is any attempt made, by reason and arga- ment, to relute the positions of te book upon that subject. Whati do not wish to permitto pass un- noticed is What he styles “condensed extracis” from the book referred to. Against one of these “con- Gensed extracts” it is my wisi to enter a an grey m4 protest. Many of your readers, in this as well as ia loreigu Countries, may see these extracts who may never sce the book itself, Ido not wish them to re- main under the impression thatlam herein accu. rately quoted; at least, if they give sufiicient attention to the sabject to be Impressed by the matter at all, [ think it essential to correct understanding that their opinions should be formed from wy own lan guage, and not from his representation of it. What I said about the cilef cause, the origin, and actual inauguration of the war is in those words:— 80 called, or that legal suvordination of race tothe whito which existed in ail but one of the Stetes when tho Union was formed, and in Ofteen of them when the war begau, was unquee tionabiy the occasion ef the war, the main exciti proximate caase on both sides—on the one as we! as the other, But it was not the real cause, the “causa causans,” of it. That was the assumption on the part of the federal authorities that the people of the several States were, as you say, citizens of the United States, and owed allezience to the federal govermment as the absoiute soy. ereign power over the whole country, con- solidated into one nation. The war sprung from the very idea you have expressed, and fromm the doctrines embraced in the qnestion propounded to me. Itgrew out of diferent and directly opposite yiows a# to the nature of the government of the United States, and where, under our ae, nts mate sovereignepower or paramount authority prop- erly resides, Consiteracions connected with the legal status of the black race in the Southern States, and the posl- tion of several of the Northern States towards It, to- gether with the known senuments and princ ipiea of those just elected to the two highest offices of the federal government—M » Lincoln and Hamlin. aa to the powers of that government over u gg ge Ca a Ag A sapposed, elr vi antes rompted the the Southern States to withdraw from the Unton, for the very reason that had induced them at first to ‘enter into it; that is, for their own better protection ond security, Those who had the control of the ad- ministration of the federal government denied this Tight to withdraw or secede, war was tna urated and waged by those at the head of the fea government against those ik the people of | Mhese States, to prevent thetr withdrawal from the | Union, On the - of these States, Which had al- | lied themselves in a common cause, it was maine iained and carried on purely in defence of this great right, claimed by them, of State reiguty and reif-governtent, which they, with their associates, bad achieved in their cominon straggie with great Britain, under the Deciaration of 1776, and which, in their judgment, lay he foundation of the whole stracture of American free institutions. “This 18 @ succinct statement of ile issue, and when tho calm and onlightened judgment of man- kind, after the passions of the day snali have passed off, and shall be buried with the many galiant and noble spirited men who fell on both sides in the gigantic straggie which ensued, shail be pronounced, aa 't will be, upon the right or wrong of the mighty contest, it must be rendered ja favor of the one side or the other, not according to resulta, but ac to the right 1M tho issue this presented.” —(Cona tutional View of the Late War Between the Stal Vol. 1, Dy 28.)

Very few of tie public men jn these States even expected war, All of them, it Is true, held themselves in readiness for it, if itshouid be forced upon them against thelr wishes and most earnest protestations, ‘rhis 13 abundantly and conclusively apparent from the speeches and addresses of thetr leading public menat the ume, It is apparent trom the resolutions of the State islatures and the State con- ventions, before and in their acts of secession. lt is apparent and juanifest trom their acts in ther new confederation at Montgomery.

Tho whole Matier of rightor wroug in (he beginning of ihe War, 44 weil as its disastrous coascqueuces, depends upon the great question, whether tie general governinedt ‘was a federal republic or not, aud what, under the coustivation, wi e true “orthodox State, rights prineiple’” to which Judge Nicholas refers, bu' does not enlighten the public upon. In other words, it depends upon the true answer to the Cyan ter me Where, under our system, does sovereigaty reside Is it louged m the general government or has it Passed to the whole people of the United States as One aggregate mass, or docs it still rematn with the people of the several States as distinct political or- ganizations?

Why so much written upon the dead issues of the past, when questions of so much magnitude of a practical character press upon the public mind t- If 80, the reply is twofold. First, to vindicate the truth of history, which ig itself a nigh duty on the part of any one who has it in his power to doit; and in the sevond place, to show the people of tnese S:ates, in this vindication, not only the true cause, the real “causa causans” of the late war, but the cause of present troubles. Tpe federal machinery for the last ten years has been abnormat to its action. It must be brought back to the Jeifer- sonian doctrines, and made to conform in its work- ings with the organie principles of its structure be- fore there can possibly be a return of the days of peace, harmony, prosperity and happiness which formerly marked our course. ‘There is no otner hope for constitutional lberty on this continent.
