Tbe Kansas Conference Bill no
Violation of the Non-Intervention Principle.
MR. VAXCr.l’S LKTTri'..
The Hon. \Vm. I*. Yancey has lately taken
occasion to place himself rectus in curia upon
sundry matters in agitatiou before the recent
Montgomery Southern Commercial convention
Both he and his friends have probably shared
in the conviction, entertained bj' many sincere
admirers of his talents, at home and abroad,
that tbe excitement nnd urgency of extempo
raneous debate, in a body under none of the
restraining influences of a direct ofticial res
ponsibility, had led him into declarations and
positions liable to misconception and misinter
pretation, and calculated toeudaugcr his hold
upon the confidence of reflecting aud conser
vative men. Accordingly, a letter is address
ed to him by Mr. Thomas J. Orme, a citizen
of his own county, propounding the following
inquiries:—
1st. Did you introduce the subject of re-opening
the African slave trade in the late Southern Conven
tion I 2d. Did you advocate its re-opemng ? 3d.
Did volt seek to make that question the issue upon
which to dissolve the Union T 4th. What are your
views upon the Kansas conference bill ?
To the first, second and third of these inter
rogatories he responds iu the negative. He
declares that he has no matured opinions upon
the matter of rc-opcuing the slave trade, but
his point was the repeal of the acts of Congress
declaring it piracy. He is not in favor of ma
king that or any other question an issue of dis
union, though, individually prepared for tbe
issue. Nor is he in favor of “making up an is
sue of condemnation of our representatives
for their support of the conference bill.”
Wo are pleased to see Mr. \ancey taking
such fair aud liberal ground in answer to these
interrogatories; but it is bis reply to thejourth,
that particularly attracts onr attention, because
it is the first argumentative attempt we have
seen to justify the common declarations that
the Kansas conference bill infracts or impinges
upon the non-intervention principle. This is
often asserted by the newspapers—was lately
declared by a meeting in Scriven county, and
the Democratic convention of Florida recently-
struck out of their series of resolutions one
declaring the bill harmonious with the non-in
tervention principle. But we never could com
prehend on what ground such declarations were
sustained, except it might be on some vague
notion that under the non-intervention doctrine
Congress was left absolutely without any dis
cretion whatever in the admission of new

a vote of one hundred and sixty to fifty-two, that di

moral view of the ease.

New Kmc- of I'o.ingr, Ac.—In the Senate,

pspiod with am. i.m incuts raising letter postage to five
cent*—ab ii'lung the (ranking privilege, compelling
prepayment in all cases—and offering the printing of
the departments and post office advertising to the
lowest bidder.
TheIVcn Ortrnu* Trout,lev, were composed
by agreement by which tho vigilancu committee and
their force as organised, were appointed a special
police to preserve order during the election, and
were sworn in a* such. The election took place ou
Monday, and resulted in the choice of Gerard Siitb,
the American candidate, by a majority of 290. The
Vigilance committee retired to private life next day.
The reanlt of its organisation haa been the complet
defeat of the end it proposed to accomplish, and which
but for it would probably have been accomplished.
It probably disgusted hundreds who would otherwise
have voted tbe reform ticket but did not vote at all,
aud it has left the same turbulent influences in the
ascendant, which have *o long destroyed the peace

thc people of Liberia arc about to send an ex

thc continent is the great native carivan route.
Two of these were recently seen, one of which

direct and constant intercourse with Central

annually, or ten millions of dollars, the bulk
of which would con.-ist of actual barter.

Ex-Prcsldeuc Pierce.
The following pleasant tidings of General
Pierce and Wife, who arc sojourning iu thc
island of Madeira, are furnished by a New
York correspondent of the New Hampshire
Gazette :
' “Advices from Madeira, viaEnglaud, as late
as thc 10th of last month, gave us flattering
accounts of Mrs. Pierce’s health, at which her
many Portsmouth friends will rejoice. The
ex-l'residcut still continues to win golden opin
ions from all sorts of people. On the 0th of
April he had a grand reception at the consular
house, nnd ecclesiastics all assisted, as well os
the English resident nobility and gentry, and
the inhabitants generally. His manners, un
pretending yet dignified, charm everybody.
Indeed, the General owes his success in politi
cal life, next to his talents, incontestably great,
to his graceful, easy, and conciliatory manners.
Would that many of our great men would culti
vate ‘ the minor morals more.’ The personal
popularity would wait upon eminent aud ac
knowledged ability. The United States frigate
Cumberland, which was still at Madeira when
we last heard from the island, gave the cx-
Presideut u grand entertainment on board.
He was received with thc customary salute,
and each gun of the frigate was answered by
the Portuguese fort at Loo Rock ; aud the
same imposing demonstration attended his re
turn to the shore, which waa crowded with the
sympathetic population.”
States, and the attempt to set it up, no matter
with what object, was an invasion of the prin
ciple.
But a moment’s reflection will satisfy any
one that such a dogma as 'this, if carried into
practice, would open wide the flood gates to the
grossest abuse and inal-practice, and leave the
country defenceless against auy claim or pre
tension new States may set up. We under
stand thc doctrine of non-intervention by Con
gress in the affairs of inchoate States, to have
application solely to their political and civil
status, and to declare that upon these points
within the purview of the Federal Constitution.
Congress may not in any way intervene to
shape or control the action of their people, or
assume to hold them to a responsibility for
such action by refusing admission on account
of it.
But most manifestly, as the Trustee for the
States, holding custody and charge of their
common interest in thc public domain, it is not
only thc right, but the duty of Congress to
scrutinize and to adjust the claims of these new
States as to boundary—as to grants of the
public domain—as to important military posi
lions embraced in these grants—and ns to the
security of the whole public landed interest
lying within their borders, from trespass and
inordinate taxation. Mr. Yancey remarks
that this last is provided against by the U. S
Constitution, which forbids a State to tax the
property of non-residents higher than that of
residents; but there are few new States of the
Union in which such a tax as this provision al
lows, would not consume the money value of
the public lands to the Government of thc
United States in a few years. The Govern
ment holds those lands cheaply, opening every
inducement for their sale and settlement for thc
benefit of the new State, and it is right she
should require them to be exempt from taxa
tion.
Now, what principle of non-intervention, as
thus understood, (and it seems to us no one
can call thc interpretation in question) was
violated by thc Kansas conference bill t It
admitted Kansas with her Constitution, as she
had enacted it, thus making no issue at all
with her upon any point of a political or civil
character. But as custodinryof the public
lands. Congress refused to sanction certain
claims to these lands set up by Kansas, propos
ed other grants, and added the conditions that
she should not interfere with the sale or disposal
of, or tax the remainder. And the bill, fur
ther provided that upon the peoplcof Kansas sig
nify ing by vote their acceptance of these equit
able conditions, they should come into the
Union under the constitution they had formed,
without further action of Congress.
To make out a case iu the teeth of such
plain and incontrovertible facts as these. Cob
Yancey is driven to all his legal astuteness,
ingenuity and research. He says, first, by the
Treaty with France, the people of Kansas were
guaranteed admission into the Union “as soon
as possible according to the principles of the
Federal Constitutionand thereupon ho pro
ceeds to quote decisions of the Supreme Court
iu proof that the3e requisitions and conditions
of thc Kansas Bill were not iu accordance with
thc principles of thc Constitution. Now these
decisions deny (what wc presume nobody will
contend for,) thc right of “ eminent domain,”
(niuuicipal sovereignty) of the Federal Govern
ment over the public lumls in the States, or in
tho Territories, except for temporary purposes
merely; anil upon the declaration of tho Court
that such a grant of sovereignty, if made to thc
Federal Government by the State, would bo
‘void and inoperative” because unconstitution
al, he goes on to declare that no act of Con
gress requiring thc assent of Kansas, or the
assent of Kansas thereto, would confer on
Congress “ the eminent dowaiu over thc pub
lic lands” nor any right incident thereto, and,
consequently, the Kansas act act is “void and
imperative.” Now Cel. Yancey is an eminent
lawyer, aud wc none at all—but wo will uu
dertake to say his authority cited does not cov
er or touch the poiut in huiul. Does Congress,
in this bill, bargain or ask for the niuuicipal
sovereignty or auy right incident thereto over
the public lands in Kansas 1 On the contrary,
she expressly recognizes thc very principle laid
down in tho decision cited by Col. Yancey—
that the sovereignty belongs to Kansas, and
he proposes to bargain with the sovereign for
certain privileges or immunities. The propo
sition is not in conflict, but in harmony with
the decision cited. Kansas, as sovereign, has
a right to make the agreement, aud the Fede
ral Government, as the proprietor of the lands,
has the right to propose aud consummate it oa
her part. Where is the claim set up by the
Federal Government to “municipal sovereign
ty ” in all this ?
the brain.
But again, as to the condition reserving the
undisturbed right of sale and disposal of the
public lands, that also was “void and inopera
tive," because tbe Supreme Court lias decided
that complete proprietary iuterest already vests
in the Government, and Kansas could not in
terfere in the sale of these lands, more than in
those of a private citizen. Well, then, if the
provision serves no useful purpose, it is simply
supererogatory. It is not in conflict with thc
Constitution.
As to the tax condition—that, he says, is of
thc same character—because the Constitution
already provides that no State shall tax the
property of non-residents, higher than that of
residents. Now, supposing this provision ap
plicable to the landed interests of the Federal
Government in the new States, we have shown
it docs not meet thc nccessitiet- of the case,
aud hence Congress lm3 provided in the case,
(we believe.) of all recently admitted States,
without exception, that the public lands within
their boundaries shall bo absolutely exempt
from taxation.
Now this is the poiut against the bill made
by Col. Yancey iu its direct application to tho
four conditions prescribed by Congress as pre
cedent to the actual admission of Kansas into
tho Union. Thc reader will see that there is
no force in it at all. It rests simply and sole
ly upon the assumption that the Kansas bill
sets up a claim to the “ eminent domain" or
municipal sovereignty over the public lands—
an assumption transparently erroneous
But, says Col. Yancey, suppose Kansas
should say “nay to all these propositions,” will
it bo pretended that Congress could keep Kan
sas out of the Union on that account ? That
is what the kill proposes to do; aud, in our
opinion, very justly. We will not undertake
to say what Congress can actually effect with
any new State which may factiously, conturnc-
liously or greedily refuse all guarantees and ar
rangements with tbo Federal Government in
regard to the common property interests of the
States within her borders ; but we suppose the
first dictate of justice and propriety would be
to refuse her the privileges of self-government
until she should learn to exercise them with
more integrity aud discretion.
But we have protracted this review beyond
all proper bounds. Wc have done so on ac
count of thc prominence of Col. Yancey as a
public man—the recognized weight of his opin
ions, and because his is the first argument wc
have seen in defence of the frequent allegation
that the Kansas Conference Bill violates the
non-intervention principle. We are sure the
Colonel has not failed to avail himself of all
thc lights aud arguments in defence of this po
sition. But how entirely he comes short of
sustaining it! It cannot be sustained. The
bill iu the light of auy intelligent recognition
f the non-intervention principle is unasailablc.
Agriculture iu California,
An official report of the last annual fair of
thc California State Agricultural Society, held
at Stockton, is replete with interest, showing,
as it does, the wide aud rapid strides which this
young Pacific State is making in the develop
ment of her extraordinary natural resources.—
The following extracts from the report of a
committee authorized to Tisit the most noted
farms, orchards and vineyards in the State,
contain some reference to “ agricultural won
ders ” which may well excite astonishment;
“Having taken steamer to Sacramento, we
reached ‘Hock Farm,’ the present home of the
noble pioneer, Gen. J. A. Sutter. This is a
fine, healthy location, six miles below Marys
ville, on the west bank of the Feather river.—
Hock Farm’ has upon it twenty-five hundred
grapo vines in full bearing, besides a large
number of smaller ones, of many choice varie
ties. Also, fire hundred peach, fonr pound fig,
fifty pomegranate, and a large number of al
mond and olive trees, all in bearing; and twen
ty-five hundred trees in nursery. Gen. Sutter
has made both wine and brandy, of excellent
quality, during thc last year, and in consider
able quantities. His grounds are irrigated
from a well, sixty feet deep, the water being
rabed by steam power, and dbtributed over
his grounds by wooden flumes.
‘ Mr. G. C. Yount lives ten miles from Na
pa city. His farm comprises thirteen thousand
acres, nine hundred enclosed and under cult!
vation; seven hundred acres ia wheat, avera
ging thirty bushels to the acre; one hundred
in grass. Fifty acres has been cultivated to
wheat twenty-two years, and produces from
twenty-five to fifty bushels to the acre. It
the frnit garden are nine thousand grape vines
three hundred peach trees; in nursery, two
hundred and fifty apple trees—measured a
Gloria Mundi’ apple, twelve and a half inches
in circumference, mid two months yet to ma
ture. Measured u rose bush, nine inches at
base, two years old, spreading its lateral
branches hundreds of feet over the house.
Napa, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, aud
the Russian River valleys, just visited, arc well
worthy special notice, being the most lovely
and picturesque spot6 in thc State; climate,
too, being even; mean temperature about 70
deg., reudered humid by tbe sea breezes, which
arc partly broken by the coast range of moun
tains. These valleys run parallel to each other,
aud arc separated by spurs of the coast range,
which arc from ouc hundred to one thousand
feet in height, covered with a luxuriant growth
of red-wood, and several varieties of oaks,
pines, maples, and other forest trees, and a
great variety of evergreen shrubbery, nnd is
one continued stretch of beautiful, romantic,
inouutaiu and valley sceuery. unsurpassed.—
These valleys will, in a few years, become the
great vintage ground of the north, with their
wino presses dotting thc plains, and thc vint
age time will becomo an important yearly
epoch.
Mr. E. II. Comstock, eight miles from Stock-
ton, has a farm of twenty-two hundred acres.
He plows about sixteen hundred acres, two
humired of which he thb year summer-fallows,
two hundred acres ho mows for hay. One
hundred acres has justly yielded its third crop
of barley, since plowing or sowing. Two hun
dred acres, sowed very late, has yielded three
thousand bushels of barley. One hundred
acres, sowed last winter to wheat, and eight
hundred acres of volunteer, nothing done to it
but to ‘bush it in,’ made an aggregate crop of
fourteen thousand bushels of clear wheat, an j
twenty-five hundred bushels of screeniugs.
On Tuesday, September 22.1, visited thc ex
tensive establishment of Sansevaine, Brothers.
They have fifty-three thousand vines, hand
soinely dressed, aud richly laden with fruit
They expected to make eighty thousand gal
Ions of wine this year. Their eight largo cel
lars filled with wine and brandy, present an
astonishing picture of rapid wealth. Their
grounds arc quite handsomely laid out, aud
fenced with growing willows. An arbor, three
hundred or more yards long, is covered with
grape vines loaded with fruit, which, in addi
tion to their elegant flower garden aud six
fine fountains, makes their place one of uuusu-
al beauty nnd grandeur. This establishment
ia yet without it successful rival in this coun
try.
Business Prospects ol Savannah.
A statement in the Georgian of some days
ago in relation to the probable discontinuance
of a number of business houses in that city,
during the present summer, has called forth
some severe animadversion by the other prints
of the city', ami is retracted by the principal
Editor of the Georgian, who was absent at the
time it was made. The original paragraph
was, no doubt, an honest statement of fact as
gleaned by the city reporter of the Georgian,
and the public, whose attention has been espe
cially drawn to it by the controversy and the
retraction, will credit it as such—not because
they believe Savannah is “going down,” or is
likely to be anything else in the future, than
a prosperous and growing city. She has every
chance and every inducement to grow. But
it is probable that for a year or two past, she
may have shot a little ahead of her proper rate
of progress and may suffer a slight temporary
reaction. This happens occasionally to every
place, no matter how prosperous ; aud it strikes
us that our Savannah contemporaries have dis
played an unnecessary and injudicious sensi
tiveness about a statement of this character.—
Nobody can reasonably doubt that a brilliant
future is before her, should a dozen houses dis
continue business in their city. With her iron
highways reaching out into the best cotton pro
ducing sections of thc South, she is bound to
be the depot aud shipping point of vast stores
of produce, and receive the merchandize of a
great and yearly increasing scope of country,
Her case admits of no evil surmisings andprog-
nostications.
Belligerent state of Affairs
WASHINGTON.
Scarcely docs the telegraph inform us of one
difficulty created and adjusted, before another
comes up. Oil Friday Senator Gwin challen
ged Wilson, of Massachusetts, for insulting
language used in debate. Wilson refused to
accept, and a rencontre in the street was the
alternative anticipated. Wilson is very much
of a rowdy, and Senator Gwin compromised
himself in sending a challenge to him.
