But if (Ireat Uiituin loufcs nt TJra7.iI with ,,

contemplates n<>t without jealousy and up- \ ?
prehension of firurc competition, and the j]
possibility of eoft'ie living cultivated with j

doubtless the clause in the late treaty with j \
Honduras, binding the latter to prohibit ' ,,
slavery. Ii is tliis feature of I'ritixli policy, ! ?
too, thai has caused her diplomatists to be j ,,
so strenuous in their efforts to counteract
American colonization in Central America. c
To give us a foothold there, argue the lirit- t
<sh statesmen, is to give u.% in addition to
/rxir pnsent lonirol of the growth and supply
of cotton, a /mint (I'a/ijftii from which ^
\e may, with the assistance of slave labor t]
mid the management peculiar to our plan- |,

TILE SUGAR CROP OS1 C J3A.
The crop of sugar in (lie Idaud l:ist year,
fell short, as wits anticipated, from the
<|U.-iiiti(y produced in 18~>5, the decrease
living equal to nhout 100,000 boxes. The
whol amount of evports makes the equivalent
of 1,81 ">,250 I'oxes against l,!)'J3,000
boxes in I8f?3. We may reckon the ?jh?ulity
of clayed as nearly 1,100,000 boxes,
an<l of Muscovado as about Jio0,000 hlids.,
so that thcl'e is an increase of !!0,000 hluls.,
of which more was produced than at any
previous peiioil, while the decrease in boxes
is nearly 200,000. The shipments of
Muscovado were 1 lfi.000 hluls. from the
N<?nh, and 10,">,000 hlids. from the South
side. The I'liitcdStatcsreeeivcd from tlleval

their home crops, which only yielded '21-,- j

INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Our spnen will not permit uh to give entire the
Inaugural Address of Mr. Ouciianan. We must,
be content with making some extrncts from it.
In opening hi* adilrvu In; has the following:
'I appear before yon this day to take the '
solemn oath 'that I will faith fully execute the j
ollicu of President of lit# L"uitc<l Suites, ami !
will, to the hest of my ability, preserve, pro* |
led, un?l defend the Constitution of the United :
Slutes.'
"In entering npon this grent office, I in nut'
humbly invoke the (Soil of our faiheis for win- j
iloni ami tirmnewi to execute its high ami rcspun- !
silde duties iu such a iiiunncr as to restore harmony
ami uncivil! friendship among the people
ol the several States, and to preserve our free
institutions throughout muuy geuer.itio"s. Convinced
that I owe my election t<> the inherent
hive for the "... i'..:
Htill animate* t lio heartsof the American people, i
let me earnestly ask llieir powerful support ia |
sustaining all just measures calculated to perpet- !
iiale these, the richest pulitieat blessings which |
Heaven has ever bestowed ii|k>ii any nation.? !
11: i v i 11 ix ileterminoil not. to become a candidate '
for re-election, 1 shall have no motive toinflelice '
my conduct in administering the government, {
except the desire ahl> ami faitlifnliy to serve my I
country, ami to live in the grateful memory of
my countrymen."
Mr. IJiviianan asserts the docfiine, that Congress
is neither '*to legislate slavery into any
Territory or State, nor to exelmle it. therefrom,
hilt to leave the people thereof perfectly* free to
form aa<l regulate their do ncstii: institutions in
I
their own way, subject only to the Constitution
of the United States."
He i lludcs to the difTerenec of opinion upon '
I lie question us to wlieti, or at what time the pen- !
pie of a Territory shall decide the slavery quosfor
tliciiiselvvh Th's, says lie, is a matter of <
tail lilt le praetical imp..it ince. lies ides it is a j
judicial question, which legitimately belongs to 1
the Supreme Court of the I'nited Stat'-s, before |
whom it is now pending, ami it will, it is under- >

submit to their decision, hilt holds, as tin individual
opinion, that the appropriate period will Lie '
when the number of actual residents in the Ter- i
ritory hIihII justify the formation of a constilu- 1 ,
tion, with a view to its admisstmi .w ? :
the L'nion. lie deprecates slavery agitation,and j
holds that ' throughout tin; whole progress of (
this limitation, which has scnreely known any
intermission fi-r more than twenty years, whilst
it hns heen pioductive of no positive gimil to any '
human licing, it hits been the prolific source of J
ureal evils to the master, to the slave, anil to the j
whole country. It Ins alienated and estranged
I he people of the sister Stntes from each j
Diher, and lias even seriously endangered ,
ilie very existence of the 1'nion. Nor lias the t
iliititr*-!- yet entirely censed. 1'nder our system, ' ,
I here is a remedy for all mere political evils in ,
[he sound sense and solier judgment of the peo- {
[ le. Time is a great eorrective. Political subjects
which, lillt a few years ago. excited and ,
.'Xiispeiated the puliiie mind, have passed away ' ,
tad are now nearly forgotten. Hut thisquestion ' ,
f domestic sluverj is of far greater importance ' |
. inn any mere political question, because, should |
.lie limitation continue, it MHiy eventually cudaujer
the personal safeiy of a large portion of our 1 i
souiitrymeii where the institution exists. In that |
svent, no for:;: of g~.vcr:i;;ie;;t, .idu.i.i.- !
?lc iii itself, umi liirtVi'Vcr productive of matrii.il j
eiicfits, can compensate fur t.|?o loss of pracc 1
iii?1 domestic Muiiriiy nroniid the family altar. !
Let very Union-loving man, therefore, exert liis !
(f.-t niiliti lice to Mippress this agitation, which, '
liner I lie recent legislation of Congress. is with- 1
nil any legitimate object."
Ho alludes to the dang-rs of nil overflowing |
reasury, ami conclinlcs as follows:
" The federal constitution is a urn tit from the
*? Ci?iro>i- *?! certain iiiv |>uwr^, .
in<l the <|tlcstioii whether this grant shonhl lie i
ihcrally or strictly const rued, lias, more or less, |
livi<le?l |>o!itical parlies from tlie : egiiiiiing? (
iViiliont entering into the argument, I desire to i
itnto, nt the commencement of my tidmitiHiru- |
ion, tliat long cxin'rifiico and observation have !
oiivineed me tliat. a strict construction of the !
oweis of I lie government in I lit.* only true, as j !v?ll
114 the only naff, theory of llu> const inn ion. ' t:
iVIieitevor, in our past history, ilonlitful powers ' j
lave been exorcised liy Congress, these have
lever failed to produce injurious un<] unhappy 1
otiseipiclieos. Many such instances might lie [ "
idiltlccd, if this were the proper ocension. Noi- v
her is it necessary for the public service to s'.i uiu > n
he language of the constitution ; because nil the \ n
:reat and useful powers required for a success- |
ul nduiiuii<ti'ntioii of the government, both in j '
leaee and in war, have been grained, either in ' 1
xpre?3 terms or hy tlie plainest iinplieution. i o
' Whilst deeply convinced of these truths, I vet i u
lonsiiler it. clear that, iimbr llio war making I
tower, Congress may appropriate money towards !
lie construct ion of a military road, when this is |
hsoliilely necessary for the defence of 11113* State : 1

THE CONTESTED WILL OF J. B. BULL. j
Tlio Charleston Jfrrrurif publishes the opinion j
of the Court of Krrors, as delivered l?y Jad^e j
With Kits, in tlie ease of W. 1*. Nodi.k, Kxecutor, j i
m. A. I'. ]$i:iinktt ami othcrn, from tvlm-li it np- j
pears that the Court has overruled what hm j
heretofore been conceded as srltlcil law, vi/.:
that an Kxecutor named in a Will, was an ia- i
competent. attesting witness to tliu same. The j
ruling of tlio Court in this case, remanding it to !
the circuit foi a new trial, upon the ground of!
error ill excluding Khmunii C. -M ai:tin, named an 1
Kxecutor in the Will, as incompetent to attest ]
its execution, overrules the opinions and settled 1
doctrines of the Court declared in other elites. j
We make the following extract from the opin- !
ion of the Court :
" A point to this purport was discussed, to I
xvit, tli.it the will of .lolin It. Ilu'l contained no {
devise, lit leijal contcuiplntion, because tin.- do- I
vise, in terms, seeks to transmit lo all alien '
widow of testator, who cannot, take because of j
alienage, iiikI besides, the will provides that the i
real est ale shall lit converted inti? personally '
and remain such. There is no difference of'
opinion among us, that an alien widow may he |
devised to lake and to hold until oflice found, and . '
that the Slate may f??rl?ear lo take measures lo ! I
mi-l ; and if there he no more than a devise to ' i
Trustees to sell, and the proceeds are declared, !
or t<y eonsecpiciiee, become, personalty, we all ' ,
agree there is yet a devise, and the will cannot
act to pro-luce a conversion until il has heen duly
established as a wii) of real estate. And this ,
conclusion is not shaken by anvthinif said to he I
? f o *Y j
derived lVoiu Wilkins ami Taylor, I Malliis
iind (iritliu, adjudged in ilie Court of I*!?|iiilv.? |
If then? he anything to the contrary, in these i
cases, it funis no support in tliiu Court. j
"The ease of \V. I'. Nohle r.v. Andrew !* I
Rnriiett, must go hack to the Cireuit Court,
upon the ground of error in excluding Kdmmid
l". .Martin, for incninpetei.ey to attest the exeeu- j
lion of the xvill in 'pte-siiou."
