PrOsIaYery Character Of our Government

correspondent has called our attention to the cor
respondence of our Minister TO Mexico, Mr.. N. p.
Trlst with Mr. Buchanan Secretary State, relative to
the acquisition of Mexican territory and the introduce
ton of slavery therein which shows the settled de.
sign of our Government touching that subject. This
correspondence is published in Executive document
50, of last session, in connection with our treaty
with Mexico and the accompanying documents.
MR.. TRIST TO MR.. BUCHANAN-E EXTRACT
Among the points which OOme under discussion
was the exclusion of slavery from all territory which
should pass from Mexico In the course of thoi.
marks on the subject was told that if it were pro-
posed to the people of the United States to part with
potion of her territory in order that the inqlGSton
should be therein established the proposal could not
excite stronger feelings of adherence than those a
Weakened in MGxlcn by the prospect OF the introduce
ton of slavery in any territory parted with by her
Our conversation on this topic was perfectly frank
and no less friendly; and for this reason the more
effective upon their minds, inasmuCh as | was en-
obled to say, with perfect security, that although
their impressions respecting the practical fact of slave
ry, as existed in the United States, we're, have nc
doubt, entirely erroneous; yet there probably nc
difference between my individual views and scnti
ments slavery considered in itself and those which
! they entertained concluded by assuring them thai
Tile pare mention OF the SUBJECT III any ucdy W "HlCl
the United States were party, was absolute impos
sblity that no President of the United States woult
dare to present any such treaty to the Senate; ant
that if it were in their power to offer the wholl
territory described in our project, increased tenol(
in value, AMI, in addition to that covered foot thcl
all over with pure god upon the single condition tina
very should be excluded thcl etrom could not en-
terrain the offer for moment, think even Of com
municnting it to Washington. The matter ended il
their being fully satisfied that this topic was one 10
to be touched, and it was dropped, with good feeling
on both sides.
To show that this question Of slavery extension wa
considered of paramount consequence, Mr. Tris write
thus, Immediately following the foregoing extract
SIN regard toIall matters Of subordinate consequence
gave every proof which the nature Of the subject per
ntted of tie strongest disposition on our part tospar
their national pride and to save their pecunory inter

Distressing Accident,
DEATH BY THE FALL OF A TREE.

On Friday Nov 10th, young man, fifteen years of
age, the son of Mr.. Hiram Hutchinson of Charleston,
W.T. was killed instantly by the fall of tree. His
two older brothers had preceded him in entering the
woods and engaged in falling trees. In about half an
hour he went to the woods in company with his father
and began building fire near where his brothers
were chodping One of his brothers had cboppedIone
side of tree and urnnd to chop the other side. The
tree being dry, he had struck but one or two blows
before it started to fall On perceviug this the elder
brother called to the youngsp at the fire. to get out d
the way The younger brother started and ran in the
direction of the tree when limb from the tree fell
upon him. breaking his skull, one shoulder, and one
kof his legs three tmes.-- Messenger

The Great Question at Issue,

The designs of the ultra slavery cxtensionlsts and
particularly the administration, fully set forth in
the following extract from the last Washington I'm
on:-
"The south is perfectly willing to adjust the quos-
ton in the most concillaory spirit As far we are
advised it is perfectly willing to divide the country
between them on the principle of the Missouri com
promise-giving the north the Lions share. If the
north rejects this proposition on the ground that the
territory is now free, and they will never consent to
settle it with slaves then the south proposes to leave
the whole question to the decision of The legal trbu
nails of the country on the principle Of Mr.. Caytons
bill If this proposition be rejected then they propose
to do nothing by law and leave the matter to be set
tied by the laws and the constitution of the land"
In plain English, we ore thus given to understand
that the South have abandoned the idea of fair fight
in Congress upon the ground of the Wilmot Proyiso;
but that they will claim, first, the Missouri compro-
mse and if they fail in this, they will fall back upon
the Clayton and Phelps compromise bill of last SEES
son and if this is denied them, they will then seek to
prevent any Legislation upon the subject, but thrust
their slaves into New Mexico and California, as in
to Gust them
As we have before said, there will be desperate
effort made TO settle the question at the approaching
session of Congress. No doubt both parties at the
South will agree upon this subject and be aided by
all the remaining strength of the outgoing administra
ton But no compromise of the interests of freedom
can be effected without Northern treachery This i
S what we have to fear. Let lis be on the lookout
Il prepared to brand the traitors.
