pssatsd many of the settlerM ut tha West, that

ovsrpower all oppositions. and re-capture their
slaves at all hazards. Al the lass accounts
large party Of armed Tsxans had asssmblsd near
Preside, and threatened to attack the town if the
fugitive slaves were not given up. Il is intimatsd
that there are II less than two thousand fugitive
slaves in the Mexican towns between the mouth
Of the Rio Grands and Presidio. In Santa Rosa,
there are forty fuginves who escaped from one
plantation in Arkansas. The owner has made
many efforts to induce them to return to Arkansas,
but in vain. They boast that they are in free
country, and permitted to enjoy equal privileges
with the Mexicans. We have been informed that
about two hundred fugitves from Texas crossed
at one Of the principal ferries on the Rio Grande,
during the last two years. 1t ia evident that
these things will not long be tolerated by our cit-
zens, and unless some measures are adopted by
the government to prevent the mischief, the citi-
Zens will arm themselves and make foray upon
the Mexican. towns to recover their property
We have much reason to fear that difficulties OF a
very serious character are sprlngiDg up on that
frontier, and unless fugitive slave treaty be con-
cluded with Mexico, another war may, ere long,
be inevitable. We are informed that company
Of uinety men, we'll armed and equipped, will
soon be marched into Santa Rosa, if certain slaves
are not given up, and we should not be surprised
if FIVE hundred or a thousand men should follow
them, should they meet with opposition from the
Mexican authorities. Our information is derived
from such respectable sources, that we think
there can be little doubt that difficulties are
brewing on our western frontier, that may prove
far more serious than those relating to the Cuban
invasion. 1t may be well for the government to
look well to this subject, and take timely precau
ti0ns to prevent another rupture with Mexico"

SOUTHERN MANUFAcTURIHG.--Mr. James, the
newly elected senator from Rhode Island, who
has set in motion "a large a number of spindles
as any other man, says the South has many ad-
vantages for manufacturing her own cotton that
the North does not possess, and that by using
her natural advantages she could monopolize
the whole business. She has the cotton on the
spot, the product of her own fields, and that
cotton costs the Southern manufacturer less per
pound, by about two cents, than it costs the
manufacturer Of the North. This saving alone,
from the coat of the manufactured fabric Mt the
Northern MILL will amount to, at least, six per
cent. per annum on the capital of the mill, and
which, added to the profits of Northern manu-
facturers, must be much greater than the profits
of the cotton field. lie adds:
If she will accelerate her peace, and keep
away with the North, and achieve and maintain
the relative power and influence she truly de-
serves, she must do as the North does. She
must ceas to purchase from abroad every manu-
factured article she wants, from a steam-engine
to penny whistle, and make them for herself
and, II need be, for others There is no branch
of business, especially at this moment, that is
more worthy of her attention than the manu-
facture Of cotton; there is none in which she
can 80 readily engage, none more profitable.
There Is no one, to her. one-halfas important; no
one that would SO rapidly increase her wealth
and population, enhance her political power and
influence, and enable her to cease to be tribu-
tary to the North No doubt, such suggestions
have frequently found place in your mind In
my view, they are the most powerful ones that
can be offered. And if these, and the train of
argument to be deduccd from them, prove in
sufficient to accomplish the object you have in
view, it might as well be given up in despair.
