BALTIxoRK, Feb. z, 1851
Charge of Maifeasares in O6Sce-- Pardon Of Joh~
Lasxef--A Pardo~iwg Govewor-John Price
1sxt-The ErTrsss Robbery, &c.
A true bill was found, yesterday, by the Grand
Jury, against Squire Gray and officer Snyder, on
the charge of malfeasance in Office. II appears
that man named Hamburg was arrested some
time since, on the charge of stealing quantity OF
silver from the residence Of the Rev. Bishop Wit
tingham, by officer Snyder, and taken before Squire
Gray. Two witnesses have gone before the
Grand Jury, and taken oath that Messrs. Gray and
Sny der offered 10 compromise the matter with the
man, If he would pay them S25, and let him off.
The man could not raise the money, and he was
consequently held TO answer In bail 10 the amouAt
of $500, and now neither he man nor his bail ca q
be founc. The parties who have thus sworn be-
fore the Grand Jury, the accused contend they
can prove 10 be persons unworthy of belief, and
that they are influenced by malicious motives.
The facilities TOR the escape of rogues are so
great here, through judges, juries, magistrates,
officers and governors pardons, that ii behooves all
10 keep bright watch.
Speaking OF governors pardons reminds me
that Govtrno Lowe, Yesterday, pardoned John
Plasket, formerly bookseller Of this city, of the
frm OF Armstrong 4 Plasket, but now resident
of Baltimore county. He was con victed Of having,
without any personal provocaton, seized stick of
wood and struck 8 neighbor, Joseph Parks, (who

naming arm three tiMes, breaking the bone in
three places, merely account of dispute be-
tween them as 10 the ownership of certain strip
ct lane. He was senftnc. d 10 fifteen days inpri
sonmeni, and ashne of $50. The Governor has
united the Imprisonment, and ordered the me 10
be enforced. he has only been a month in office,
ard he has already pardoIed Richard Turner, :he
bank robter, John Passef, and 1t is confidently
asserted that pardon may be shortly expected

cot and meimed scors. of them, having been ge-
orally known by the soabyr3ust Of Cutting

The republic., 1851-09-08
From the Louisiana Stale Republican.
Politics and Cuba.

The President is assailed by the Frees
press at the North for his want of promptness
and vigor in arresting and suppressing the late
Cuba movements; and also most bitterly by
portion of the Democratic press at the South,
because he has adopted that line of wise policy
marked out by all the great lumnaries of the
Republic, in the noble endeavor to maintain
inviolate the national faith, according to his
official oath. IL is remarkable how the Northern
Free-soilers, and many of the Southern Democrats
from opposite motives and views, unite in
ton and reckless attack upon our Chief Magistrate
This is, indeed, conclusive and satisfactory evil
dence of the wisdom and justice of the Presidents
course. II would be utterly impossible for him or
any other man to suit the opposite and conflicting
wishes and purposes of both these factions. To
disregard the voice of wisdom--to spurn all prece-
dent and experience, and to take sides with eiher
of these antagonistic and dsorganizng factions,
would be but to make e' confusion worse confound
ed"-to cover his memory with infamy and his
country with ruin.
In the Presidents proclamation, he acted from
the information he had received, and from the best
lights before him. That document contained sim
pie words of timely and kind admonition and eau
ton, calculated to put thinking men their
guard, and to lead them to act only under the die
tates of assured knowledge, and with due forecast
and deliberations; in word, it was intended and
calculated to Influence men to act as men, and not
children, and in such manner as to preclude the
possibility of their falling victims to base imposi
ton and deception from any source.
1t is deeply TO be deplored that, instead of abuse
and vituperation, the Presidents counses were not
needed; for then the rashness and precipitancy of
the rush of feeble band to the scene of strife
would have been prevented. Instead ofthe attempt
to mpcate the President in the terrible responsi-
bty of the butchery of American citizens, due
attention to his words of caution and remonstrance
would have led to that line of prudent conduct
which alone could have prevented the sad catas
trophe, whilst it would, upon authentic and salts
factory information that they were acting in
meet, have secured effective aid to the struggling
Cubans.
These sounds of partisan malignity strike the
senses most shockingly discordant amid the
universal outbreak of honest Indignation at the
Havana outrage, which knows party lines
They fasten suspicious of insncery, in their loud
and dolorous professions, the part of those who
utter them, when Whig money, and Whig sym
pathy, and Whig aid lavishly poured out as
Democratic They show that in the minds of some
there is a selfish and ambitious party spirit higher
than the claims humanity, of ther country; and
that they would not hesitate to desecrate the no
best and holiest ympathies and interests, tothe
low and sordd ends of party.
The republic., 1851-09-08
We commend the following paragraph to the

We commend the following paragraph to the
attention of our contemporary of the Union:
United States Senator Chase, OF Ohio, has
issued manifesto in which he announces his in
tention to adhere to the platform and support the
ticket of the Ohio Democratic Convention. But
the ground Of this determination is that he consd
ers the action of that convention, besides being
acceptable on other topics, in effect endorsing
the Free-soi doctrines. It is true (he says) that
the convention adopted distinct resolution con-
corning the Fugitive Slave act; but the position of
the Democracy of Ohio in relation to that odious
enactment is sufficiently apparent, not only by the
censure passed upon it by the convention in the
unanimous denomination of Governor Wood and
the approval of the counses of his inaugural, but
from the comments OF the Democratic press of
Ohio upon it''

FRONTIER PRoTEcTIoN.-lt appears from a COM
munication in the Austin Gazette of the 26th ult
that General Beknap event out in May, with two
companies OF infantry, to make q reconnaissance of
the country and to select sites for line of mill
tary posts to be established from the ArlSsnsas
frontier across to Don Anna, on the Rio Graude
about nifty miles above FL Paso. General Belkuan
has determined upon the following points TO be oc-
cupied: No. |. AT the Wild horse CROSSING on
the False Washita river. No 2. In the United
States Indian territory, little northeast of the
mouth of the Little Wichita No. 3. Twenty five
miles north above the upper Indian vllae ca on the
Brazos, and fifteen miles below Captain Marev's
crossing OF that stream. No. 4. On the Pecan
bayou; and No. 8, at the head of the Copcbo ON
the road from Austin to Ell Paso. The last named
point is as fara General Belknap's command will
extend. IL Is very important station, as it is
place oi general rendezvous for the Indians on their
excursions to the Mexican country; I'd il ia also
general resting place for parties of our people who
are bound to or from Ell Paso''
The military force now on our frontier amounts
10 over thlrty-ve companies; twenty of these COM
panies being of infantry, four Of artillery six of
uragoons, and three Of rangers, after disbanding
tne two ranging companies recently mustered out
OF service. To these may be added ten more COM
panies recently ordered our frontier. When
the companies all placed at their destined
points the frontier, at convenient distances from
each other which is now being done by the estab-
lishment of regular line of posts along the from
tier, we hope TO hear no more accounts Of murders
within our settlements. Surely if these troops do
their duty, and are actively employed beyond the
settlements, they can restrain the Indians from
coming down, and continually plum derin o. our neo
pie, they have been doing for New past wears.

PoT Rock HE'LL GATE.-About four O'Clock on

lefert fired two charges upon Pot Rock, one of 75
lb weight, and the other of 1856 lbs, and with the
same good that has heretofore attended all
his operations in this channel. When all was
made ready, M. Mallefert gave signal from the
iron float which the battery is placed, which
answered from the shore by Lieutenant Bart
lett and instantly the electric spark descended to
the rock and exploded the charge, breaking the
rock in pieces, at the samo time throwing body
of water high in the air. Two charges are TO be
fired to-day at five o'clock, and two Friday at
ak p. IN.
The Courier says that, previous "to present ope-
rations the highest point OF the rock eight feet
in depth from low-water mark no part of the rock
is now to be reached at a less depth than twelve
feet, by the same measurement. Dividing the rock
longtudinally into sections Of three feet we obtain
