Moses Y. 3EACH.-A correspondent of the
N. Y. Sun, writing from the city of Mexico,
under date 30th ult., says to the editor -
1t was lucky that you escaped from Mexico
just as you did, for it has now leaked out that
you were suspected for several DAYS before
you left, and a constant watch kept over your
house and upon all your movements Two
days more, and you would never have seen
the United States. Nothing saved you but
the forethought of paying your landlord, in
terpreter, &c. in advance, and leaving your
trunk, which put the police off their guard.
Two days after you left the city, an express
was sent 200 miles to General Garav, COM
mander of the guard, describing your person
and ordering your arrest, if found on the road
all the passes from the city were also set with
spies.
1t is said that Mr.. Black was forced to leave
the city on suspicion of aiding your escape
and MIR. Voss, of the firm of Hargous & Bro
theirs, barely escaped arrest on the same sus-
plclon. 1t was not believed you had left un-
til the notice of your arrival in New Orleans
reached here, and a reward of $500 was offer
ed for you up to that time. Since then copies
OF the Sun have been seized containing arti-
cles favoring the occupation of Mexico, and
the paper has been prohibited by the following
notice, posted in all the streets:
NATIONAL PALACE, July %.
ANY person, Mexican or foreigner, who
shall, after this date, be found having in his
possession copy of journal called the New
York Sun, published in New York, United
States, paper filled with the foulest lies and
the most atrocious designs towards Mexico
will be punished as traitor

G-We admit that we abused our friends in
Camden rather early. We were so complete
ly taken aback by their strange course, that
we could not helpit. But we are willing to
do them justice and say they have acted nobly,
as the following article from the last Camden
Journal abundantly shows:
" Town of Camden-RaI Roads-We are
gratihed to announce to our readers, and espe-
cially to our up-country friends, who have ia
ken some umbrage at some former remarks of
ours, that an overwhelming majority of the
tax-paying citizens of this town, have re-
quested the Town Council to subscribe $751;
900 to the Charlotte Rail Road, and that in
pursuance of this request, the constituted au-
thorlties on last Wednesday, subscribed to the
amount of $50 shares We do not believe that
such an act of public spirit and liberality, has
ever been equalled by any town or city cor
poration in the United States, and this state
ment will readily be believed, when we say
that the amount thus subscribed, is about one
fourth. of the value of the taxable property
within the limits of the town. We are proud
of Camden, and such public spirit as was
here manifested on last Wednesday, if kept
| alive, will soon elevate her to her true posi-
| tom

of the Journal, by inserting the articles refer.

PENNSYLVANIA NULL1F1cAT1oN-The fol-
lowing paragraph furnishes the best of prac-
teal commentaries on the late act of Pennsyl-
vania, liberating slaves which touch her terri
tory. 1t must be viewed as an Indictment to
the slaves of Maryland and Virginia to escape
from their masters. When South Carolina
nullifed an act of Congress, Pennsylvania was
the earliest and loudest of the States which de-
nounced the proceeding. She has greatly out
done South Carolina in the exercise of State
Sovereignty, for she has not only nulifed an
act of Congress and decision of the Supreme
Court, but the Constitution itself. Why is it
that her Northern coadjutors-her sister States,
who opposed Modification at the South and
favor the Wilmot Proviso-are now so silent
on the subject of Pennsylvania Modification ;
" Escape Of Sares.-We learn from the
Winchester Virginian that thirteen slaves of
Mr.. Newton Rowley, of that place, escaped
from his premises on Saturday night last, and
although prompt measures were taken for their
recovery, but two of the number have as vet
been re-captured. On the same night, Mr..
Fayette Washington, who resides near Ste
phensons Depot, lost two slaves and seven
horses, and there is no doubt that the whole
party are now together under whip and spur
for the State of Pennsylvania"
