PROSPECT CT PEACE.

The cheering news from the Seat of War, war
rants the hope, that Mexico has at length aban-
doned all idea of prolonging hopeless contro-
versy with this country, and that for the present
no more of the brave and chivalric spirits of our
land are to be offered up as bleeding sacrifices to
the lust of the democracy for Extending the
area of freedom
At first, the charge that this war was under
taken for conquest, was Indignantly denied by a
large majority of the supporters of the admins
tration now the question is holr much ofconquer-
ed Mexico is to be embraced within the extended
limits of our Union, and with it comes the agita-
ton of that fearful subject which erst came
'llle the sound of fire bell at night to appal the
hearts ofthe then surviving patriots ofth revolu-
ton, and which had like TO have kndled con-
fagration which would have laid in ashes the
''beautful Temple which our fathers builded -
The Principles of the "NIissour Compromise
would have kept this fearful subject at rest forev-
er, had our rulers been content to keep that
which was own, without coveting the domain
of our neighhors, and thus calling down upon our
heads the wrath which the Almighty has de-
HouHCtu UPON lIlOSt WHO CONet anu uGSlit pNitI
mems goods. " That the North will insist upon
restrictions in the admission of this new Territory
into the Union, to which the South cannot agree
without great and manifest danger to her existing
institutions, is but too plainly evidenced by the
tone of the public press of both parties in the non
slaveholding States. 1t is, therefore, useless TO
attempt to close eyes 10 the fact, that we are
vergng upon a contest which would prove the
seyerest trial our institutions have ever expe-
rienced. May God in his mercy turn aside the
dark cloud that hangs upon our political horizon,
is the fervent prayer that rises from depths of ev-
cry patriot heart, whilst we are not without
strong hopes that there is wisdom and patriotism
enough in our legislative councils to avert the
impending danger
OF one thing we are well assured, that whilst
the conservatives of the Slavcholding States are
willing TO unite with their Northern brethren in
opposing the enlargement of the boundaries fthe
Union, they are united one man in opposition to
any interference with the principles of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, whether in reference to States
formed from old or new territory.

FACTORY AT uARPER's FERRY.

We made a hasty examination, on Tuesday
last. OF the fine building erected on The Island
of VmginiuS, under the direction OF Mr.. James
Giddlngs, for the new Cotton Manufacturing
Company The building is 100 feet by as in
the clear, four stories high, and built in the
most substantial and elegant manner. The
machinery will be in operation in few months.
Some of the Locofoco prints are exu,ing
that in this very enterprise they have found an
argument IN favor of the Tariff OF '46-and
are Growing over what they call a refutation OF
Wing predictions Of "ruin." They have no,
the candor TO state that this very company
was chartered and organized under the old Tar
iff, and that it was projected when there was
very little hope OF the Democracy succeeding
in their modification Of that act. Ii was un.
dertaken by gentlemen Of public spirit, who
are not disposed 10 quail under slight difficult
ties, and who were determined TO peTsevere IN
spite Of any disastrous effects OF the new act
But what real argument can be derived
from the existence OF a Tariff not yet tried, so
far as this Facio,g is concerned, candid
mind might be at o loss TO conceive. Certain
it is. however, that the Loeofoco policy has
been sufficient TO check enterprises enough TO
make the present prices of domestics higher
than beforehand the relief which was promi.
sed the poor man on the cost of his cotton
shirt has not been realized.
Most OF our readers who heard the dema-
rogues of lS44 denounce the then existing
Tariff, because il taxed the coarser fabrics,
will scarcely be satisfied with arguments from
premises so flimsy as those now adduced on
this subject. They are scarcely simple enough
to be gulled by an argument which claimed a
reduction of prices in proportion TO reduction
of duties. but which has yet afforded no de-
monsraton olany proposition represented on the
subject.
If the new Factory can exist and prosper
under the present rate of duty, il only proves
that the ''American System" was the tree
from which the fruit was produced, and that
the principle of protection has been conceded
by its former OPPONENTS Umchester Rep.

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, Is47.
THE sUE-TREAsUEY.
CHEAP BREAD.

A writer in the Evening Post, one Of the lead
ing Locofoco papers in New York, processes To
have recently become convert to the "Inde-
pendant Treasury" doctrines of his party, and
gives the following reasons for his new faith.
We commend the reasoning TO the especial atten-
ton Of our Agricultural readers
at, (the Sub Treasury has been ample
protection 10 our manufacturers il has kept dorm
the prices of ralc material, AND .M9DE BREAD
CHEAP -
What think YOU Democratic Farmers of Berke-
ley, of this new light which has broken in upon
your Northern allies' You were called upon to
denounce the Tariff of AZ because, according to
the Southern creed of Locofocoism, it Taxed the
agriculturis for the support of the manufacturer.
During the nomentary enhancement of prices
consequent upon the famine in Ireland, you We're
asked to sing bosanna' to the administration OF
Mr.. Polk, on account of the measures which it
was insisted had brought about the rise in The
price Of bread. And now you are required TO fol-
low with blind devotion the lead of those who
claim the support of Northern Manufacturers
upon the ground that the policy of party now in
power tends to encourage the manufacturer be-
cause, it reduces the price ofraw material, "and
makes bread cheap"
To be sure, the argument was not manufactur-
ed by Northern politicians, ''for the Southern
trade Southern Democrats will hardly con-
sent TO rally upon the watchword of "chcap
bread" much less can their 'lree trade" allies
of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, be
expected TO enter very vigorously upon a cam
paign, the great object of which is to "keep down
the price of the raw material.
Surely it is time that the eyes of that large
proportion of the Democratic party, whose only
political aim is TO ensure the prosperity of the
whole country, and who have been led to believe
that the cause of the sclfstyled democracy
was the cause of patriotism and truth, should
open their eyes TO the selishness and treaehery
of their leaders. This game of "one set of prin-
eiples for the North and another for the South,
is not now played for the first time. We beg OF
the Farmers of Western Virginia, to remember
the duplcity of the author of the Kane letter,
before they are again induced to lend their voices
to the support Of party which here claims to be
the exclusive patrons of the agricultural interests
and which asks for Northern votes upon the
issue of "cheqp bread.

ARREST OF WIN. 3. AvERErT.

Information has reached town which leaves
no doubt of the arrest of VIM. B. Averett, late
Teller Of the Branch Bank Of Virginia, in this
place.
The particulars of lis arrest, as we learn,
are these He arrived in the stage at Beams
Station, Tennessee, and, on alighting, was re-
cognized and addressed as Averett, BY young
man, formerly resident of Lynchburg A
private interview took place between them,
and the young man then declared that the pas
senger was not WIN. B. Averett, the late tel
Ter, but his cousin Of the same name. Before
the stage departed, however. the individual
who had recognized him was observed to have
in his possession hundred dollar note. This
led TO suspicion, and Averett was arrested
His clothing was examined, and no name. or
initials, discovered on any article, except a
pair of old socks, on which were the letters w.
b. A. He applied for Habeas Corpus. and
the result Of the investigation under II was not
known at the date OF the letter. This informa-
ton was communicated to the President Of the
Bank here, by Mr.. Cooke, the member Of Con-
gress of that District. We understand a con-
fidential agent was Immediately dispatched by
the Bank TO Tennessee.-Lmchbtsg Vrg.

LORD PALMERsTos AND THE
.sSIICEERS.@

Some weeks ago we called the attention OF
our readers to a speech made in Parliament by
Lord Palmerston on the subject Of England's
foreign debtors. II viii be recollecied that his
lordship said some pretty hard things about
Spain and the United States and that he even
went so far as TO hint about coercion" The
Shawneetown (IlIinois) Democrat commen-
ting upon the coercion" part Of this speech,
proposes the following mode ofliquiiating the
Liabilities ofIllinois:
.sThe Suckers-with the fair understand
ing that If they fiogged this army OF hungry
Britons the debt would be cancelled-would
Up and at 'eml and ere Sol flung his golden
beams upon tie western hills, Illinois trere
free from debit Murder will ont; and we are
I bold TO say. that, although there is an ardent
desire on the part Of our people 10 meet their
Just liabilities, Still, were il possible 10 cancel
the heavy debt hanging over our State by re-
sort to the brisilng panoply of war. the Suck
ers would cheerfully fight out the whole four
teen millions at SIX cents per day. That is
just their game
This looks like "squaring orr. Tunes.
Sauariug off! 1t forcibly reminds US of a
conversation we once heard between vene-
rable member Of tie Methodist persuasion, and
a bullying rowdy.
"Willlam," said the old gentleman in his
bIandest tones, 81 am very much in want OF
money. could you manage to let me have the
amount of your bill} 1t has been due long
time, and | am compelled to ask for payment,
can you do any thing for me ?"
"Yes, if you ever say bill TO me again, till
I'm ready to pay you, can punch your old
head for you, and IN be sure 10 do it,"
"Wen, William, | don't like 10 sue you,
but fear shall have it to do"
$50 ahead. says Bill The constable can't
get anything out Of me except drafted tiek-
in"
That a citizen Of Massachusetts, or Virginia
should feel indignant at, and disposed TO resent
the silly clustering of my Lord Palmerston, Is
natural enough. But to the sovereigns of Hi
nos we should be disposed 10 recommend the
old rroverb. Least said is soonest mended, !"
al least until that Commonwealth shall have
ex,ricated herself from the somewhat awk-
ward, not to say unenviable position she now
occupies in tie eyes of Christendom.

The CITY or MEXICO At our MERCY,


From The .Ns,c Orleans Picay,mt, September 3.
The steamship Fashion, Capt O'Brady, ar
rived Yesterday evening from Vera Cruz, by
the way Of Tampieo. She left Vera Cruz on
the 9Th Of August. and Tampico on the 29th'
The news by this arrival is the most I'M
podant we have received in many months
from Mexico. Our army has not only advan-
ced to the city Of Mexico, but II has had two
engagements with the enemy, close under the
walls of the city. and defeated them The
Mexicans have been brought to suppicate a
suspension Of arms, and Gen. Scott has grant
ed il. The Mexican Congress has been con-
yoked to take INTO consideration MIR. Trist's
propositions.
The news was received in Vera Cruz on
the evening Of the 18th ult, by an express
courier from Orizaba, who brought down the
following letter TO Mr.. Dimond. the collector
at Vera Cruz, TO whose courtesy we are in
debted for the use Of the letter, which we pro.

'Slavery and the Wilmot Proviso, with
some suggestions for compromise" is the IL
tie Of well written pamphlet. on the Interest,"
ing subjects involved, by John l.. Carey, Esq,
of Baltimore. The compromise recommended
by Mr.. Carey, is to provide that the new ter
ritory on the frontier towards Mexico may ad-
nit Slavery but fixes its duration at fifty years
and that "whie in any state, to be formed
out of the new territory, all persons born there
in, after period of fifty years shall be born
free nevertheless, any person bringing thither
slaves from another state, may retain said
slaves and the children of the same shall be
free at the age of twenty-five or thirty" OF
course such a compromise connot be entered
into by the South until il is prepared Cor grad
ual emancipation, and we do not think ii will
ever be prepared for that. The apprenticeship
system has proved SO ruinous in its practical
operation in the British West Indies, that even
were the South prepared TO entertain schemes
of abolition that would be most likely prompt
ly eschewed. But the South is not now, if p
yer she may be, ready to make any further com
promises. She made concessions in the Mis-
contemporaries; by that compromise she will
stand but she will not now yield another jot
of ground. Times.
