HANDSOME CONDUCT OF THE ENGLISH AT SAN
JUAN.-I was much amused by an article in this
days Herald, anent the humanity of Engshmen
at San Juan. had the fortune to experience the
kind treatment of the officers of the Inhexible on
the occasion referred to, and am duly thankful for
the same. 1t is right, however, that you should
understand the motive for this kindness. A large
party of Americans had congregated at San Juan !:
they were naturally indignant at the treatment to
time previously been subjected, and threatened to
put an end, in very summary manner, to the ing.
lsh usurpation. In order to save the town. the
commander Of the InAexible politely volunteered
to take the Americans down to Chagres The in.
vltaton was gladly accepted, and for the attention
bestowed l., for one, am not unmindful. Your
readers, however, should understand the nottve of
the act. state facts, which, if questioned, | will
willingly substantiate under my proper signature

SLAVERY AMONG THE MoRMoNs.-The From
tier Guardian, an official paper of the Mormons,
makes the following exposition of the opinions of
that people on the subject of slavery:
We feel it to be our duty to define our position
In relation to the subject Of slavery. There are
several men in the valley of the Salt Lake from
the Southern States, who have their slaves with
them. There is no law in Utah to authorize sla.
very neither any to prohibit it. If the slave is dis
posed to leave his master, no power exists there.
either legal or moral, that will prevent him. But
1t the slave chooses to remain with his master.
none are allowed to interfere between the master
and the slave All the slaves that are there appear
to be perfectly contented and satisfied. When
man in the Southern States embraces our faith,
and is the owner Of slaves, the church says to him.
II your slaves wish to remain with you, and to 90
with you, put them not away but if they choose
to leave you, or are not satisfied to remain with
you, 1t is for you to sell them. or to let them 90
Free as your own conscience may direct you. The
church on this point assumes not the responsibility
to direct. The laws of the land recognize slavery:
we do not wish to oppose the laws Of the country
II there is sin in selling slave, let the individual
who sells him bear that sin, and not the church,
Wisdom and prudence dictate to us this position,
and we trust that our position will be henceforth
understood"

His friends came to his assistance, and a general
row ensued. The thief was secured by the police,
