The Fugitive slave Law.

The Union is persuaded that President
FILLMORE can never be trusted with the exc
cution Of the Fugitive Slave law, notwith-
standing he joined in making it law.
Bit the Union is equally well persuaded
that Mr. DOUGLAS or General CAss would
execute that law to the letter, though they
were members of the Senate at the time it
passed, and omitted 10 role for IT,
VIII the Union explainl 1t is to General
CAss and Judge DOUGLAS, we presume, that
Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS aludes in his recent
address to the people of Mississippi, when he
says that the Fugitive Slave bill passed the
Senate by the "absenteeism of the North"

tive. who was highly respectable citizen Of
Santa Cruz, lie approved highly Of the course
of the United States Commissioner, evincing as
| il would TO his Government the desire and de-
| termination on the part of the United States
soIemnly and faithfully to fulfil treaty stipula-
| tons. He also solicited that the female should
be kept under Mr. BARTLETT's protection until
such time as she could be most safely returned
home.
As respects the animals, the general was
fully satisfied that they were the property of
the Sonorians or other Mexcans, the Indians
having of late driven of large number from
Sonora. 1t was, therefore, decided to retain
them until special messenger could be sent
to Sonora, and an opportunity afforded for the
Identification Of the property.
Another incident, upon which the eleventh
article Of the treaty had direct bearing, oc-
Cured on the day succeeding that Of the event
Just related. Two Mexican boys sought re-
fuge in the camp from their Indian captors. On
being questioned, they stated that they were
stolen from their homes and made prisoners by
the Apaches. They also were retained, and
will in due time be returned TO their friends.
When these boys came in two prominent
chiefs of the Apaches and number of their
tribe were present. They knew of the escape
of these boys, and at once proposed to buy
them. The Commissioner declined, telling
them plainly that the Americans did not buy
captives; aud, Furthermore, that, having sought
his protection he should not deliver them up.
| He underworld in vain TO make them compre-
| bend our treaty with Mexico, to restore TO her
all the captives taken by the Indians which fell
into the hands of the United States authorities
The chiefs were highly offended but subse-
| quently the matter was SO arranged that the
captives were to be retained, and the friendly
relations with the Indians not impaired
The Commissioner, we learn, is firmly of
the opinion that kind treatment, rigid ad-
herence to what is right, and a prompt and in
variable fulfiment of all promises, will secure
the friendship of the Apaches tribe of Indians
which has the reputation of being the most hos
tile and treacherous to the whites of any between
the Rio Grande and the Pacific. 1t is the inter
course of unprincipled traders and emigrants,
who SOW the seeds of intemperance and vice
among them, which has created most of the
difficulties heretofore experienced. These men
defraud them of their property, and on the
slightest pretence take their lives. That they
feed the greatest hatred towards the Mexicans
is true, and they certainly have reason for en-
tertaining strong antpathy to them. Re
venUe with them ar n desire of retrhu five
justice, as in our own case we should term it.,
increase as the events which gave rise to the
feeling or desire recede.

The Attacks on tho President.

From the alexandria Gazette Of Saturday.
The Union newspaper is opening its batteries
upon the President and, we presume, will con-
tnue to assai the Chief Magistrate for party e6ecr.
But these not the times when any considerable
portion of the people can be impclled by mere par
tsan feelings to condemn the head of the Govern
mcnt when it is seen that he is striving to do his
duty and is faithfully acting for the good Of his
country. We kave great confidence, therefore, that
the President will be ultimately sustained by the
country despite the political projudices of the lead
ers of parties and factions. We have tried the man
and we know him to be prudent, sagacious, and
patriotic. The PEOPLE will ask, why not let we'll
enough aone2 May we not go farther and fare
worse? May have another President who
will guide the ship of State as safely this one

blind people to the fact that we have as Presi

The President, the Washington Union, an
the Ca.bu QuenrIon.

We confess we have witnessed with surprise the
course of the Washington Union with regard to
the Cuba invasion. 1t is astonishing to what petty
demagoguism men of high character and position
will descend in the hope OF party advantage. Ma
Tor Donelson, whose conservative and elevated
bearing upon certain questions, and in certain po-
litical exigencies, has been truly worthy of an
OK minister plenipotentiary, has wofully miscal-
cuated in taking the 6llibuster side of this Cuba
question, both as it fgards his elevated bearing
as political writer and the advantage of the party
whose interests he would promote.

Death OF Commodore warrington.


We have the mournful duty of announcing
the death Of Commodore LEWIS WARRINGTON
of the United States Navy, who died at his
residence in this city yesterday morning in the
Goth year Of his age. Commodore WARNING
TON was a native of Virginia, and in his early
years graduated with credit at William and
Mary College, in that State. He entered the
navy on the 9th of January, 1900, and was
commissioned as post captain on the 22d of
November, 1914. He was the third officer on
the naval list. Commodore WARRINGTON dis
tinguished himself by his gallant conduct in
the late war, especially in the engagement be-
tween the Peacock and Epervier. At the time
of his death he was Chief of the Ordnance
Bureau. Though of dauntless courage and of
grave demeanor in command. not more feeling
or generous hearted man ever breathed and
his honor was without spot.
His funeral will take place tomorrow Tues
day. at noon, at which time his remains will
be conveyed with military honors from St.
Johns Church to the Congressional burying
ground, whence we understand they will be
subsequently removed to the family vault, near
Norfolk, Virginia.
The official orders in relation to the funeral
will be found in another column.

not misery been brought to too many house

the Archiepiscopal mansion adjoining the Cathe-

and eminent knowledge, being the author of a
treatise on theology, which is used as a textbook
in all Roman Catholic theological institutions, and
received the approbatve sanction of the College of

fill the melancholy void but recently caused by
death in the Catholic church of America.

An amount SO small as not to affect the companys

the previous year.
The Baltimore Patriot, in publishing the com
parative monthly receipts of the two years, OBJ
serves:
"This statement, under all the circumstances
that has attended the year, is most gratifying
one. The business of the year ending with Sep
tember 1850, was greatly over that of the previous
year, and was owing in part to large amounts OF
freight that sent over the road, to meet the
demand and high prices which then prevailed. And
with this the Ohio river in much better navi
gable condition during the last summer than it has
been this, whilst the railroads from Cincinnati To
Cleveland, and from Erie to New York were not
then completed. Now, however, these roads
complcted and by reason of the Ohio river being
so low that it is scarcely navigable for boats
of the smallest class, large amount Of the travel
which would have passed over the Baltimore and
Ohio road has been attracted from ii to the lake
route by way Of Cleveland, and Dunkirk and Duff
falo.
''This has left the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
to depend on it's local trade and travea trade and
travel which under circumstances can be with
drawn from it--and yet, see, the gross reve-
nue. OF the road to Cumberland has been greater
than last year, amounting to 81 ,349, 222 rs, which,
II the road were to stop at Cumberland would pay
certainly over Blk per cent. on the par value Of the
stock. We may infer from this what revenue il
VIII yield when the road reaches the Ohio river"

spresent session of Congress- expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise inca
sures OF last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from nperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
system of compromise the most concihatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interests and
'opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion abuse. That opinion,

and will be acted upon steadily and decisively
