obtained even one new slave State
liuta. It i* tut prelandrd that aha baa a
chance of obtaiutng more than ouo soon.
Tala* baa not yet bean divided al all, and
we do Dot now believe that the North would
recognise or carry into effect her right to
divide tven info two S'atea. Dues any one
of ouv rradrra bclirve that lha present
House of Kepresentativee would consent to
such a measure, or that the next House i*
likely to he belter disposed toward* the
Mjuth Y Mr. Ball wae doubtless right iu
bia opinion ; and h* waa certainly right, ou
lha ecure of policy, in axpreeeing that opin
ion to tbs North aa an argument to induce
that region to stand up to it* guaranty to
the .Sooth. Had hi* counsel* prevailed, we
would have had seventeen *ls*e States
(equal in number to the tree) to-day, and
all lha right of Texas to sub.divide into
more would Lave he*n left intact and "dis
tinctly recognised." This etatfiuei.t is so
clsaily borne out by the ncord that there
can be no gainsaying it.
Ae to the Territory of New Meiico,
which Mr. Ball thought Would bo a tree
Blais, it remains yal to be earn whether it
will bo freo or slave. But certainly bis res
olutions did not im|><>*« any restriction aa
to alavory upon it; on tho contrary they
et|iree*ly forbade either Congress or the
Territorial authorities to exclude slavery,
leaving that question to be determined by
its Stale constitution. And it should not
be torgollca that Mr, Dell's resolutions pro-
posed to concede to New Mexico less of the
territory in dispute between Mexico end
Text* than the Compromise act* afterward*
annexed to New Mexico ; aod that they
repealed a prohibition of slavery in a part
of it which a previous Democratic Congress
baJ imposed.

In roixlution, wo would aay that whilst

and com iliatory in ns character, we think
that the chaige which haa ol late been ni-

The Cincinnati Enquirer, aa we hare al

Nevertheless w# a<atad cn Wednesday,
upon the authority of fottera front Mt.
Sterling, that Mr. Breakinrtdge, accompa
nied by Jae. B. Clay, Jno. M. Elliott. Ac.,
had slipped through that town on Sunday
last on hi* way to the Weal Liberty meet
ing and barbecue. And now we learn that
Mr. Breckinridge, with bis men Clay. El
liott, Ac., attended tire barbecue at West
Liberty and made a speech at Owingsville
ilia next day. Th# two speech## were di*
luiioiis of the one at irextugion. This
skulking off'into the hill* upon a speaking
lour without the knowledge of the public
and with the knee ledge ul leas than one in
twenty of his own Irienda, was a sneaking
piece of business which John C. Breckin

six month# ago. (1# has lalleo into uiisrra*

folk questions, which Mr. Hrackinridgn
stand* pledged by the head of hia Virginia
electoral ticket to answer, wsre handed m
writing to Jax. B. Clay, with the request
that he would give them to Mr. Breckin
ridge.
Mr. Clay, however, refuted positively In
give them to Mr. Breckiuridge. He would
not let them go to hi* candidate at all. He
suppressed them. In ihiw h* ol course

a response to ‘hem. All this ia shamelul
and cowardly to the last degree.
It no one at Owingsville or a! Waal Lib

living lips in Mr. Breckinridge's ears, ton

John C. Mason spoke at hia own house forty

who remained where he waa, in lull hear

alluxion to Breckinridge's declaration that
he had always redeemed the pledges given

J. J. IIoorKR—Dear Sir: In your article
ol yesterday headed “General Win. Wal
ker's laat visit to Montgomery," reference
ia made lo a conversation had by me with
that gentleman. I do not leel especially
called on to notice your article, nor do I so.

having conversed with n.m but twice, and

veraation with to* was entirely unreserved,
purport of hia observations was how-
quit* intareating to ma, and in the
main aa yon have stated them. Hia plan to
procure labor lor Nicaragua, waa by treaty
with Russia or Franc# ; to procare tfo»»o
powers to transport Alncans at a stipulated
prico per capita. He did nut doubt his
liter at that Court Ilian s
and with success. I cannot give exact
words used, but tho idea was that the
French Emperor had been approached or
sounded with favorable result*, or without
rebuff, .

involved the planting ol Hlavary in Nicara

in the nrat conversation. In tba laat he
simply said, "I am not so much a Douglaa

imply treachery to promises, though that la

Ae to Walker, the world has ita opinion
ol him, which ia probifoy such as my owu

acquainted with him, quite erroneous. My
opinion now fo, 'hai he wae a truthful, in
telligent and honorable man, of tho moat
imperturbable calmness, aod undoubted
courage, engaged in the cause of civllita-
lion, and that ha waa destroyed by the
Untied Miatoa Government, indirectly. I
am not advised ol exialiug tree lie# between
Honduras and Great Britain, but I can con
ceive no right the British Government had
