The treaty for the navigation of the La Plata and its confluents is one of immense importance, doubtless, to the commercial in tercsis of the I ni ted States. It opens a navigation to us—and free t \ the flag of nil nations for n distance of more than a thousand miles into the interior of thnt rich j country. All three of them were agreed to by* the United States Senato, we apprehend, without! amendment. Iluving previously been ratified by the other parties, nothing now remains to give] them full force but the customary •• exchange of ratifications.” l It is duo to the lost National Administration that it should have tho Imnifl- and credit of tin- j successful formation of those treaties, eo full of i promise for our country's business future. Indeed : they are but in strict accordance with tho well; known foreign policy of Mr. Fillmore's govern ment, to which we are also indebted, it will be , remembered, for the initiation of those measures which have just resulted in opening up to Ameri-’ can industry and enterprise the heretofore scaled book of tint commerce of Japan. Though the’ counsel* of those now in power, appreciating and! heartily approving this policy of the Fillmore ad ministration* have doubtless done their share in conducting the Japan allair to its hamy tormina- ] lion, it should not be forgotten that Millard Fill more was the pioneer, not only in achieving f..r | his country tho free navigation of the I.a Plata. ■ bufjin opening the Great Kingdom or Empire of! tbe East to American trade, lint for his and 1 .enterprise ns chief magistrate of the United States Ithe'Sujwquenl efforts of the present Administra- i tion with Japan, would certainly have been una vailing up to this time Washington Star. Non-Intercourse. It is a curious thing to see what strange idea-. men sometimes have of trade and polities. Not! img since the Federal Union recommended that; the South should quit trading with Huston as al remedy for abolitionism. From the way tbe Fed > ernl Union t ilked about it. one might be led to 1 suppose that the people of die South traded with ‘ Huston as a matter of charity, and merely for the benefit of her people. .Merchants are tho la-t people in the world to do sueli things. Asa rule there is nothing more emphatically true in fuel ; or more correct in principle, than that ‘-there isj no friendship in trade.” Trade is a mere question j of quantity—men trade where they can get the! largest quantity of what belongs to others lor the smallest quantity of what belongs to them. Men 1 who act upon any other principle, very soon have | nothing to trade upon - consequently they net to ; their own injury. Hut suppose Ihe people of the South were fool-! ish enough to adopt sueli a p'nn where would it : stop! Should we quit trading with France, and; with England, and with every other nation in | which there lire abolit onists ! Well, then, of j course they would have to quit trading with us ; What then? Should tve he any better off f Hut! suppose we quit trading with Boston, and she still! refuses to give up fugitive slaves, what then ‘ . Will Massachusetts have fewer votes in Congress ! or less power over us by her votes ? We wont trade with her nor have anything to j do with her, but we will Set her control ns by her votes in Congress. That is to say we will not trade j with her and get a fair equivalent for all that we give her, but wo will permit her to take by the] force and power of law. whatever she wants for nothillg. Corner Stone. From the Montgomery .limrniil. The Columbus Time* in alluding to our reject- tion of its proposition to the Soutjit iii whigs to J join tho Demoeratie party, say-: “Tho editors of the Journal scout our invata-’ tion to the Whig party to come into the next i National I lenioci ill i,:Convent ion. Wo expected 1 they would do so, hilt vvo have strong hop,- that I tiro atom candid and leas prejudiced qrortiona 7 of t tho party, will receive oiir invitation kindly, if’j they still fed bound to decline it.” We were, not aware that there ivs anything• very rudt’ in our rejection of the preposition! which was so disinterestedly tendered, —but vve 1 must confess that we felt a little indignant at. the presumption exhibited by the Times in making! the proposal. The idea that the Southern Whigs ; are such arrant nincompoops as to stultify them selves by abandoning their hitherto Northern political allies on account of their opposition to slavery—and of uniting with a party who re cognize as worthy of its confidence, the. most rabid free sailers to be found in the Northern! States, is so simply ridiculous that vve did not! know, that even in the Democratic party there! was a man of sufficient impudence to make such I a proposition, until vve read it in tho Columbus j Times. But this is not all; tins same paper! goes on further to say : “Wo are fully convinced : that the sympathies of many honest men. who! have hitherto been regarded as Whigs, are with us, and that they have been deterred from join ing the Demoeraey by distrust of- some of our leaders, —tho result of old prejudice and associ ation.” Now, is not all this exceedingly rich. “By distrust of some of our leaders—the result of j old prejudice and association.” What leaders.; pray are here referred to ‘ I fiuibtiess Van Huron, j who stands at lire head of the Freesoil influence ! —Cass, whose doctrine of squatter sovereignty is J so obnoxious to Southern whigs—and Douglass,, —who lias rendered himself particularly odious | to the Southern w higs by attempting to humbug them iuto his support by lire introduction of the Nebraska bill, %bich has again revived the dread ed slavery controversy and fixer) upon tho coun try tho detestable and dangerous doctrine of souattor sovereignty— oaud last and least, Pierce, who while he professes to befriend of tbe South suppportod the Nebraska bill because it was a measure for freedom — and if enalrtd i#to a law there never would be another tod into this Union, —and who likewise, wrhiic declaring his duvotiou to the South and to the Union, —seeks out the vilest enemies at the North of the Sooth, and the Union, upon whom to bestow his favors.

The Democracy, awl especially tbe Southern High* wing of that party, are nuking a great to do over tbe Nebraska law of the present Congress. Notwithstanding the Northern origin of that meas ure, and regardless of the President's declaration that, under the provisions of the bill not another slave State would ever come into the Union, they claim ite passage ae a great Southern triumph.- | Reckless of propriety, they even demand of South- [ ern Whigs that they shall do homage'to Democra- i cy : that, overlooking the selfishness which prompt- i cd this new and unnecessary slavery agitation, they ; will forget what is due to themselves —efface from the records of history their own share in the es-’ tublishrneiit of the principles of this bi'l, and con- ! sent to take on the livery of a party whose cry oft denunciation of those very principles, has hardly; ceased to reverberate through the land. With j one or two exceptions, the provisions of the Ne-! braska bill are an almost sac similie copy of those j contained in the compromise of 1850—that odious j compromise,’ characterised by Southern Rights Democrats as a ‘ robbery of, and fraud upon the j South and the exemptions constitute the objec- 1 tionable parts of the new measure. For instance the compromise of ISSO provided that the people ! of die territories should, preparatory to their ap ] plication for admission into the Union as States. ! determine for themselves the question of slavery j or no slavery ; whereas the Nebraska bill allows I the first hasty settlers of a territory, bo tiny for j eigners or American citizens, to forever settle the i ; slavery question at the very incipiem y of their ! ! territorial organization. In the first case it was • j designed that ail should have an equal chance in I the territories, and that no action should be taken , j l ; upon the sidject of slavery until, after having j served a territorial pupilage, the people of the ‘ ! territories should arq.lv for admission us States.: and that ‘'i* ‘. in the formation of their state e >n ■ stitution. they should determine the nature of their institutions in this respect. This gave the slaveholder an opportunity to participate in the j settlement of territory, and to avail himself of ! the advantages of anew location which might ■ promise success to his interests, without the fan ‘of having tho dour b.irr--1 up m him by thus vvh >. j being less encumbered by property, had stepp and j ill before and Aut.J-the-.-x-hi-inn es dITT’ rkTCT - I bis, then.

If it was designed | for any thing but etUet we are oblivious to the i fact. Tho Nebraska bill distinctly provides ikat j the people ( f the territory shall regulate the ques tion of slavery for themselves, hi the face of this provision we ask. how could the Missouri pruhibi-! tion have affected prejudicially tire iutcruots- ad j tie ,‘south in this territory ! ‘ Was it not in effect annulled by that very section of tbe bill giving to the people untrammelled control of t e subject? i ertainly it was. and tbe conclusion is inevitable’ 1 tlavt it eoul t only have been introduced for the i aceomplishmvnt of a political end, ttTo aid abr.ff. I tinnisin by affording it a pretext lor agit i’ion i In tho faoo'of these facts we do not hesitate to lake the position that the principles of tho coin ! promise of 18-30 cover the whole ground of right; ; contended for in the Nebraska bill, and that the : i introduction of squatter ■ rcn-iqn/ii constitutes a • , feature peculiarly obnoxious to tbe South and i ; detrimental to those interests which claim an | equality of rights in our common territory, ‘ijie irepeal of the Missouri Compromise being’ of no 1 : practical utility, may be e- teemed worth soinetlilng ] ‘ or nothing, just in proportion as men value a pos- j | itive good or cling to an empty abstraction. — j ! While we do not admit tbe existence of any sound j principle in tills vaunted measure of Democracy.; : which was not borrowed from tho Union and ; Whig platform of 1850. we arc ready to declare that the enactments of. Congress have given to it : a binding efficacy which will ever command our i support and preclude tho possibility “f any coun tenance. on our part, of an effort for repeal. Oc ; copying this ground now, as wo have done since” 1859, we feel proud of an opportunity to cungraiu i late Southern Whigs upon the triumph of t!ar principles, and urge upon them a firm adhesion to ! those doctrines which, whatever may la tho suc cessor tliejparty that originated them, have elicited . the commendation and commanded the approval of j even those ultraists who once spurned them with indignity. Southern Whigs should livo in the hope . that a grateful people will not long consent to np ! propriate the benefit of their policy to the excTu- J ; sion of their political claims to promotion. 1 More Caffs than Coppers. | Mr. Sumner.
