COLUMBUS: Tuesday Morning, March 10, 1857* ‘.AIIOEST CITV CIBCVLATIOS. Bound Over. James B. Shelton, who committed an assault with intent to murder, on tho person of Chas. U. Tbornberry, on the 6th lust., was on yes terday, brought before Justices Lawes and Hutchins,and held to hail for bis apperance at the next regular term of Muscogee Superior Court. In response to the Tuscaloosa Monitor’s strictures in relation to the charge of transpo sition made in tho Sun, we will state that the author of the article is now disconnected with the paper and absent from the city. Having hut little taste or leisure for such criticisms, the present editors do not think the import ance of the subject sufficient to compensate for the time that would be spent in making refer ence to tho file of the Bun to ascertain who is right. For tho very complimentary terms in which the Monitor’s article alludes to the Bun, we iiutke our politest bows. The Sun shall never be less welcome while we preside at its helm. We learn from the Chronicle, that Mr. Wil liam Harper, of the mercantile firm of J. &W. Harper, of Augusta, died in that city on Sat urday . evening. Mr. 11. was a native of Ire land, but had been a resident of Augusta for near half a century, during most of which time he has been actively engaged in business, and occupied a prominent position as a merchant. Peabody Institute. The Building Committee of the l’eahody In stitute at Baltimore, have already advertised proposals for an eligible building site, on which to erect the institution founded on the recent SIIOO,OOO donation for that purpose, made by George A. l’eabody, the rich London banker, now on a visit to this country. The ground is to cover an area of not less than 100 by 100 feet. Shreveport, La. Fires, sometimes, though detrimental to in dividuals, are beneficial to towns. Such ap pears to bo the case with Shreveport. Recent ly the whole front of a square of shanties was demolished by fire. We learn from the Gazette that contruots for rebuilding the entire block luive already been made, and that lire proof brick buildings will take the place of the mis erable old shanties destroyed. Ten Days Later from Mexico. THE NEW MEXICAN TREATY. By tho arrival of tho schooner Col Lester, at New Orleans on the 4th inst., the Picayune lias advices from the City of Mexico to the IHthult. The Picayune translates, from the Trait d’Union, an urticle copied and endorsed by that paper from tho Mexican Extraordi nary, giving the purport of the recent nego tiations between Mr. Forsyth and the Mexican Government. It appears that five treaties were made, all of which were signed, on tho 6th ult., at the City of Mexico. The Extraor dinary, ns translated by the Picayune, snys: The treaties are five in number, depending upon each other, and all complete an arrange ment, the object of which is to relievo Mexico of her financial difficulties, to bring to her coasts a commercial fleet, and to her frontiers a trade which will give new life and activity to her commerce by land and by sea. We give in order the substance of each treaty. The first treaty provides for tho establish ment of a commission for the examination of nil claims of tho citizens of both Republics against the government of either, excepting the American claims provided for by Mexico by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The question of Mexican clainiN against the United States, by reason of the Indian depre dations upon tho frontier, and conformably to the 11th article of the treaty of Guadalupe, being a point in discussiou between the two Republics, will be submitted to the arbitration of the F.mperor of the French. If the decision be favorable to Mexico, the claims will be brought before the commission. The commission will be composed of four members and two secretaries, named by the two governments, who will have the powor to elect a fifth member, who will act as arbitra tor, and who will docidc all questions upon which tho four first members differ. Tho second treaty, one of reciprocity, es tablishes the freedom of trade in certain arti cles of commerce enumerated, on the territory and frontier rivers of the two republics—but to the exclusion of the lines on the coast. This treaty is based upon the principles of the reciprocity treaty between the United States and Canada. The third treaty is a postal treaty, for the establishment of a weekly line of mail steam ers. This line will be supported by the two governments, and will touch all the ports of the two countries in the Gulf of Mexico from Mobile to Sisal. The fourth treaty has the chuructor of a general convention, and stipulates, among other things, for the renewal of the treuty of commerce between the two Republics in 1881, which has expired by limitation. The fifth treaty provides for tho louu of fif teen millionsof dollars to the Mexican govern ment, at four per cent, per annum. Seven millions arc secured by the surrender of tho Mexican revenues to the United States, to the perfect satisfaction of the principal nud in terest. Three millions will be retained in the trea sury of the United States for the payment of claims recognized by the mixed commission. If this sum be more than sufficient for that purpose, tho balance will be paid to Mexico; and if it be not sufficient for the payment of these claims, the Mexican Government will pay the difference. This sum will bear inter est till drawn from the treasury, for the benefit of the creditors, whether Mexican or American. Four millions are designed for the extinc tion of the debt due to England. The remaining eight millions are to be paid in cash to Mexico, secured by the surrender of 20 per cent, of the Mexican revenues on all kinds of imports nnd exports, with the excep tion of European cotton fabrics, whether by Mexican or American ships. The 20 per cent, will be carried to the credit of the exporter or importer, as the ease may be, and to the debit of the United States, to the amount of the eight million of dollars. This arrangement will continue in effect till tho reimbursement of tho whole sum with interest. It is said in Mexico that tho British Charge des Affaires has protested in the namo of his government. INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Fallow Citizkns: 1 appear before you thin iluy totak,- the solemn uuth “that X will faithfully execute the office of X’reHlilent of the United Status, and will, to the beat of my ability, preserve, protect, ami defend the Constitu tion of the United States.’’ In entering upon this great office, I must humbly in voke the God us our fathers for wisdom and firmness to execute its high and responsible duties in such a manner at to restore harmony and ancient friendship among the people of the several States, ami to preserve our free in stitutions throughout many generations. Convinced that I owe my election to the inherent love for the Con stitution and the Union which still uuimutesthc hearts of the American people, let me earnestly ask their pow erful support in sustaining all just measures calculated to perpetuate these, tliu richest political blessings which Ifeaven lias over bestowed upon any nation. Having de termined not to become a candidate for re-election, 1 shall have no motive toinlluence my conduct in adminis tering the government except tho desire ably and laitli fully to serve my country, and to live In grateful memory of my couutrymrn. We have recently passed through a Presidcutiul con test in which the passions of our fellow-citizens were ex cited to the highest degree, by ijueatious of deep and vi tal importance; but when tin- people proclaimed their will, the tempest at once subsided, and all was calm. The voice of the majority, speaking in the manner pre scribed by the Constitution, was hoard, and instunt sub mission followed. Our own country could alone luvvo exhibited se grand and striking a spectacle of tho capac ity of men for self-government. What a happy conception, then, was it for Congress to apply this simple rule —that the willof tho majority shall govern—to the settlement of the question of domestic slavery in the territories. Congress is neither “to legis late slavery into any Territory or State nor to exclude it therefrom; but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form uud regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the Uuited States.” Asa natural consequence, Congress hits, also, prescribed that when the Territory of Kansas shall be adinittod os a State, it “shall be received into the Union, witli or without slavery, as their Constitution may pre scribe at the time of their admission.” A different opinion has arisen in regard to the point of time when the people of a Territory shall decide this question for themselves. This is, happily, a matter of but little importance.— Besides, it is a judicial question which legitimately be longs to the Supreme Court of the United States, before whom it is now pending, and will, it is understood, be speedily and fiuiilly settled. To their decision, in com mon with all good citizens, I shall cheerfully submit, whatever this may be, though it has ever been my indi vidual opinion that, under the Nebraska Kansas act the appropriate period will be when the number of actual res idents in the Territory shall justify the formation of a Constitution with a view to its admission as a Stute into the Union. But be this as it may, it is the imperative and indispensable duty of the government of the United Slates to secure to every resident inhabitant the free nnd independent expression of his opinion by his veto. This sacred right of each individual must be preserved. That being accomplished, nothing can bo fairer than to leave the peoplo of a Territory free from all foreign interfer ence, to decide their own destiny for themselves, subject only to the Constitution of the United States. Tho whole territorial question being thus settled upon the principal of popular sovereignty—a principle as an cient as free government itself—every thing of a practi (fcl nature has been decided. No other question remains I for adjustment; because all agree that, under the Consti tution, slavery in the States is beyond tho reach of any human powor, except that of the respective States them selves wherein it exists. May wc nut, then, hope that the long agitation on this subject is upprouching its end, and that the geographical parties to which it has given birth, so much dreaded by the Father of his Country, will speedily become extinct! Most happy will it lie for tho country when the public mind shall be diverted from this question to others of more pressing and practical im portance. Throughout the whole progress of this agita tion, which has scarcely known any intermission for mure than twenty yours, whilst it lias been productive of no positive good to any human being, it lias been the prolific source of great evils to the muster, to the slave, and to the whole country, It lias alienated and es tranged the people of the sister States from eacii other, and lias evou seriously endangered the very existence of tho Union. Nor Ims the danger yet entirely ceased. Uuder our system, there is a remedy for all mere po litical evils in the sound sense and sober judgment of the people. Time is a great corrective. Political subjects, which but u few years ago, excited and exusperated the public mind, have passed away and are now nearly foi gotton. But this question of domestic, slavery is of far greater importance than any mere political question, be cause should tho agitatiun continue it may eventually endanger the personal sufety of ft large portion of our countrymen where the institution exists. In that event no form of government, however admirable in itself, ami however productive of material benefits, can compensate fur the lons of peace and domestic security around the family altar. Let every Uniou-loving man. therefore, exert liis best influence to suppress this agitation, which since the recent legialutionjif Congress is without any legitimate object. It is an evil omen of the times that men have under taken to calculate the mere material value of the Union, lteusoned estimates liuve been presented of tho pecuniary profits and local advantages which would result to differ ent States Had sections from its dissolution, and of the comparative injuries which such an event would inflict on other States and sections. Even descending to this low and narrow view of the mighty question, all such calculations are at fault. The bare reference to a single consideration will lie conclusive on this point. We at present enjoy a free trade throughout our extensive and expauding country, such os the world never witnessed. This trade is conducted on railroads and canals—on no ble rivers and arms of the sea—which bind together the Nortli and the South, tho East aud the West of our con federacy. Annihilate the trade, arrest its free progress by the geographical lines of jealous and hostile States, and you destroy the prosperity andunwurd march of the whole and evory part, uud involve all in one common ruin. But such considerations, important as they are in them selves, sink into insigniiicuuce when we reflect on the terrific evils which would result from disunion to every portion of tile confederacy—to the Nortli not more than to tlie South, to the Kust not more than to the West.— These I shall not attempt to portray; because I feel an humble confidence that the kind l’rovidence which in spired our fathers with wisdom to frame the most perfect form of government and Union ever devised by man will not suffer it to perish until it shall have been peacefully instrumental, by its example, in the extension of civil and religious liberty throughout the world. Next in importance to the maintainance of the Consti tution aud the Union is the duty of preserving the gov ernment free from the taint, or even the suspicion, of corruption. Public virtue is the vital spirit of republics; and history proves that when this lias decayed, and the love of money has usurped its place, although the forms of froe government may remain for a season, the sub stance lias departed forever. Our present financial condition is without a parallel in history. No nation has ever before been embarrassed from too large a surplus iu its treasury. This almost necessarily gives birth to extravagant legislation. It produces wild scheme* of expenditure, and begets a race of simulators ami jobliers, whoso ingenuity is exerted in contriving and concocting experiments to obtain public money. The purity of official agents, whether rightfully or wrongfully, is suspected and tiio character of the government suffers in the estimation of the people. Tliis is ill itself a very great evil. Tlie natural mode of relief from this embarrassment is to appropriate tlie surplus in tlie treasury to great na tional objects, for widen a clear warrant cun bo found in the Constitution. Among these 1 might mention tlie ex tinguishment of tlie public debt, a reasonable increase of the navy, which is at present inadequate to the pro tection of our vast tonnage afloat, now greater than that of any other nation, as well as to the defense of our ex tended sea-coast. It is beyouil all question tlie true principle that no more revenue ought to be collected from the people than the amount necessary to defray the expense of a wise, economical, and efficient administration of the govern ment. To reach this point it was necessary to resort to modification of the tariff, and this lias, 1 trust, been ac complished in such a manner as to do us little injury ns may have lieen practicable to our domestic manufac tures, especially those necessary for the defense of the country. Any discrimination against a particular brunch for the purpose of beuelitting favored corporations, indi viduals, or interests, would have been unjust to tlie rest of the community nnd inconsistent with that spirit of fairness ami equality which ought to govern in the ad justment of a revenue tariff'. But the squandering of the public money sinks into comparative insignificance as a temptation to corruption when compared with the squandering of the public land*. No nation iu the tide of time lias ever been blessed with so rich and noble an inheritance us we enjoy in the public lands. In administering this important trust, whilst it may be wise to grant portions of them for the improvement of tlie remainder, yet wo should uever for get that ia is our cardinal policy to reserve these lands as much as may be for actual settlers nnd this at mode rate price*. We shall thus not only best promote tlie prosperity of the new States and Territories by furnishing them a hardy and independent race of honest and industrious citizens, but shall secure hemes for our children and our children’s children, as well as those exiles from foreign shores who may seek iu this country to improve their condition, and to enjoy the blessings of civil aud religious liberty. Such emigrants have done much to promote tlie growth and prosperity of the coun try. They have proved faithful both In pence and iu I war. After becoming citizens, they arc entitled, uuder tlie Constitution and laws, to be placed on u perfect equality with nativo-born citizens: and, in this charac- i ter they should ever be kindly recognized. The feferal Constitution is a giant from tlie states to Congress of certain specific powers; and tlie question whether this grant should t< liberally or strictly con- i striled has, more or less, divided political parties from tho beginning. Without entering into the argument, 1 I desire testate, at tlie commencement of my administra tion, that long experience and observation have convin- ■ ced me that a strict construction of the powers of the government is the ouly true, ss well as the only safe, theory of the Constitution. Whenever, iu our past his tory, doubtful powers have been exercised by Congrses, these have never foiled to produce injurious uud unhap py consequence*. Many such instances might be adduc- I od, if this were the propor occasion. Neither is it neces sary for tho public service to strain the language of the Constitution; because all the great and useful |>owors 1 required for a successful administration of the govern- j ment, both iu peace and in war. have been granted either ’ in express* terms or ly tlie plainest implication. Whilst deeply convinced of these truths, I yet consider : it clear that, uuder the war-making power, Congress may appropriate money towards the construction of a mihta- j ry road, when this'is absolutely uecessary for tlie defense of any Stute or Territory of the Union against foreign invasion. Under tlie Constitution, Congress has power “to declare war,” “to raise und support armies,” “to pro vide anil maintain a navy,'-’ and to call forth tlie militia to “repel invasions.” Thus endowed, in an umpie man ner, witli the war-making power, the corresponding du ty is required, that “the United States should pro tect each of them [the State*] against invasion.” Now how ia it possible to afford this protection to California and our Pacific possessions, except by means of a milita ry road through the Territories oftlie United States over which men und munitions of war may be speedily trans ported from the Atlantic States to meet and repel the invader ? In tlie event of a war with a naval power much stronger than our own, we should then have no other available access to tiie Pacific coast; because such a power would instantly close tlie route across the Isth mus of Central America. It is impossible to conceive that, wliilst the Constitu tion has expressly required Congress to defend all the States, it should yet deny to them, by any fair construc tion, the only possible means by which one of these States call be defended. Besides, the government, ever since itsoiigin. has been ill tlie constant practice ol con structing military woods. It might also be wise tocon sider whether the love for the Union which now animates our fellow citizens on tlie Pacific coast may not he im paired by our neglect or refusal to provide for them, in their remote aud isolated condition, the only means by which the power of the States on this side of the Rocky Mountains, can reach tlierrfln sufficient time to “protect” them “against invasion.” I forbear for the present lront expressing an opinion as to the wisest and most eco nomical mode in which the government can lend its aid in accomplishing this great and necessary work. I be lieve that many of the difficulties in the way which now appear formidable, will, In a great degree, vanish assoon us the nearest and best route shall have been satisfacto rily ascertained. It may be proper that on this occasion, X should make some brief remarks in regard to our rights and duties as a member of the great family of nations. In our inter course with them there ure some plain principles, ap proved by our own experience, from which wc should never depart. We ought to cultivate peace, commerce and friendship with all nations; and this not merely as the best means of promoting our own material interests, hut in a spirit o Christian benevolence towards our fel low-men wherever their lot may be cast. Our diploma cy should he direct and frank, neither seeking to obtain more, nor accepting lc6s than is our due. We ought to cherish a sacred regard for the independence of all na tions, nnd never attempt to interfere in the domestic concerns of any, unless this shall be imperatively re quired by the great law of self-preservation. To avoid entangling alliances bus been a maxim of our policy ever since the days of Washington, and its wisdom no one w ill attempt to dispute, lit short, we ought to do justice in a kindly spirit, to all nations, and rcquirejnstice from them in return. It is our glory that whilst other nations have extend ed their dominions by the sword, we have never acquired any territory except by fair purchase, or, as in tiie case of Taxes, by the voluntary determination of a brave kin dred. and independent people to blend their destinies withour own. Even our acquisitions from Mexico form no exception. Unwilling to take advantage oftlie fortune of war against a sister republic, we purchased those pos sessions, under tho treaty of peace, fora sum which was considered at the time a fair equivalent. Our past histo ry forbids that wc shall in tho future acquire territory, unless this be sanctioned by tlie laws of justice and ho nor. Acting on this principle, no nation will have a right to interfere or to complain, if. in the progress of events we shall still further extend our possessions. Hitherto, in all our acquisitions, Hie people, under tlie protection of the American Hag, have enjoyed civil aud religious lib erty, as well us equal and just laws, and have been con tented, prosperous and happy. Their trade witli the rest oftlie world has rapidly increased; and thus every commercial nation has shared largely in their successful progress. I shall now proceed to take tiie oath prescribed by the Constitution, whilst humbly invoking the blessing of Divine Providence on this great people. JAMES BUCHANAN. Washington City, 4tli March, 1857. Curious Discrimination. A negro in Spartanburg, S. C., convicted of robbing the store of Messrs. Lee & Briggs, has been sentenced to receive one hundred and fifty lashes, and then to be removed beyond the limits of the State.— Charleston Standard. This is not the first time we have noticed like decisions in the Courts of our sister State. In that State, if we mistake not, theft, by white men, is punishable with suspension by the neck till they are dead. We cannot see the policy of discriminating between tlie races. Another view is that we huvo not been able to discover tlie right one State lias to punish, by banishment to another State, her negro crimi nals, thereby throwing a notoriously bad ne gro on a community totally ignorant of his character. Who of our citizens know but that this very negro will be for sale in our city within the next two months ? It is a policy that should not he tolerated The holding for sale such property, out of the immediate vicinity where the crime was com mitted, should be punishable with such penal ty as would be a terror to tlie actors. If South Carolina’s negro thieves, house burners and murderers are too precious to hang, she should be compelled to keep them within her borders. Large Sale of Negroes. An estate sale of 120 negroes takes place at Huntsville, Alabama, on 28d instant. Terms of sale—twelve months credit, for bills on New Orleans, Mobile or Charleston. Woolen Manufactures in Alabama. We learn from the Prattville Statesman that the Manufacturing Company of that place are fitting up a mill with new and excellent ma chinery for the manufacture of kerseys, and that the factory will be in operation sometime in April. The lower room only, at this time, will be supplied with machinery sufficient to run 400 spindles, which will employ seven operatives and manufacture 040 yards of ker seys per day. Wheat Crop in Tennessee.. The West Tennessee Whig of the 27th ult., says ; “Our farmer friends inform us that the wheat crop never looked better, and the pros pects never fairer for a large and bountiful crop of this cereal. The fields of wheat under the influence of warm rains and soft sunshine, look wondrously green now, and our friends anticipate a full and plentiful harvest the com ing summer.” The Athens (Ten.) Post of the 6th instant, says, the growing wheat in that section is com ing out finely and looks very promising. ■ —♦ Mr. Pierce’s Southern Tour Abandoned. In response to an invitutiou from the city authorities of Savannah, tendering President Pierce the hospitalities of tho city, on his con templated Southern tour, he replies : “My contemplated journey to the South was suggested by the state of Mrs. Pierce’s health. “I have delayed replying to you until this time, in order that I might be able to speak definitely with reference to my movements.— It would afford Mrs. P. nnd myself great plea sure to visit a city so distinguished for its at tractions and especially for the hospitality of its people as Savannah, but our pleasant anti cipations of passing the months of March and April in a latitude farther South than this city must be abandoned. 1 appreciate highly your expressions of approbation, and beg you to accept for yourself and the City Council my cordial thanks.” ■ Terrible Fire in Chicago.

General News —The Persian envoy has ceased all endeavors to settle the questions nt issue between Persia and Great Britain. He declines visiting London, nnd remains in Paris. Louis Napoleon lias invited England and Russia, Austria and Prussia, to constitute their Resident Ministers at Paris, the pleni potentiaries to settle the Ncufchatel affair. It is feared that the matter will be difficult of adjustment. The conference meets early in March. Russia has resumed warlike operations against the Circassians. It is rumored that she is to obtain a large cession of territory from Persia, for sustaining the latter in the war with England. D’israeli’s amendment to the financial budget resulted in an adjournment of Parliament to Monday. Negotiations between Prussia and Switzer land are less amicable. France proposes to open the Neufchatel conference at Paris. It is rumored that the English government has re ceived dispatches announcing the total destruc tion of Canton. Nominations in Pennsylvania. The Democratic State Convention which as sembled at Harrisburg on the 2d inst., nomi nated Gen. Wm. F. Packer, of Lycoming coun ty, as the candidate for Governor. He has been a distinguished member of the State Sen ate, and was Auditor-General during the ad ministration of Gov. Porter. One of his prin cipal competitors for the nomination was Judge Black, who has since been appointed Attorney General by Mr. Buchanan. The Convention also nominated Hon. Ellis Lewis, for Supreme Court Judge, and Hon. N. Strickland for Canal Commissioner.— Augusta Const. Burnett’s Oriental Tooth Wasli.
