The Armistice at Mexico.
NUMBER THREE.

Summary.
By this link we shall show that in Mr.. Folks
message of January u, 1848, wherein President
Polk is generally understood by the people Of
the United States as 0holly and entirely denying
any collision with Santa Anna, he, President
Polk, only denies it prior to May Is, 1846. We
shall show that Commander Alexander Slidell
Mackenzie, United States Navy, visited Havana
on secret mission July 6, 1916. That by the in
tervention of the government of Cuba, Spanish
war schooner, the Habanero, brought dispatches,
undoubtedly from him to the government, while
he, Mackenzie, went to Commodore Connor and
General Taylor, and gave them their cue and then
returned to Washington, via New Orleans, with
dispatches said at that time to be from the Mex
lean government to Geaeral Taylor, proposing
peace, which we now know was not the fact. The
effect at Monterey of this interview on the mind
of General Taylor, we will also develop, as well
as the mode by which Mr.. Polk got rid of those
who were likely to be unwilling agents in his
dirty work, or from whom he had reason to fear
he might be denounced, viz !: By superseding them.
He began by matchmaking to supersede Paroles
by Santa Anna; then superseded Taylor by
Scott; then attempted to supersede Scott by Ben
ton-did supersede Common by Perry; did super
sede Scott by Butler; and Mr.. Triss by Sewer
and Clifford

The Elections.


Il
But partial returns have been received From
these we infer that the Legislature will be Loco.
1t is probable that Broome, Loco, will be elected
Governor, and Maxwell, Loco, Representative In
Congress-, each by 200 or 800 majority. Cabell
was, two years ago, elected to Congress by q
majority of $50. When it is remembered that
only few days have passed since the Wings in
Florida gave in their adhesion to the ticket of our
party we should not expect better present results
than these. The majority for the Loco candidates
at this moment will be overcome in the Presiden-
tial election as surely as the shall rise upon

there is no Loco gain.
The members elect are as follows:

The Clipper-which stands aloof from poll
tics-says this morning:
"For the first (nnd we hope it may be the last)
time, the subject Of religion was blended with
that Of politics; and the proposed change in the
public school law was made to occupy promi-
nent place in the political discussions. We
thought the introduction of these matters i'm
proper in municipal election, as the local au-
thorities have power to make the change
suggested. We protested against the course pur-
sued and, indeed, shall be glad if the subject
should never be renewed, as we fear that its
renewal will give rise to feelings which had bet

Tho Union Bank.

While we deeply regret the misfortune which
has fallen upon the community and upon the in
dividuals engaged in this Bank, we feel sure that
no, one acquainted with Mr.. r. II. Gallaher will
for a moment believe that the catastrophe whick
has caused so much trouble is owing to any want
of integrity on his part. We have known him
long, and have ever found him gentleman OF
the most perfect honesty and fidelity in his bust
ness transactions. The name Of his father, John
s. Gallaher, has been, in our view, very unne-
cessarily drawn into the matter. more up
right man does not i've IL the industry, faith
fuIness and sagacity with which he has served
the public through long life, had been devoted
to his own interests, he would now be a rich in
stead of poor man.
We do not know what are the assets of the
Bank of the Union, but, from what we know Of
it's late President we feel perfectly sun that the
assets of the Bank, and all his private property,
will be devoted to the last dollar to the relief Of
the bill-holders Of the institution.-Rich Rep.

Spanish Consul"
This date is from the N. Y. Sun, and is evidently
incorrect the preceding extract from the Herald
shows, which was copied into the Republican and
Argus, July 30, to correct or confuse its readers
The Sun goes on to say there was no danger now Of
privatecrs being fitted out from Havana, &C., &c.
Any one observing the date in the Sun can see
the propriety of its helping the administration
out of its dilemma.
Had Commander Mackenzie returned directly
to Washington, it would never have done; so the
government Of Cuba had, at the op perfume mo-
ment dispatches for the Spanish Consul at New
York, and he despathed them July 26, 1916, to
Washington. July 81 1916, Mr.. Polk, overcome
BY the desire to re-establish peace, causes let

The Northern Slave Market.

The Journal Of Commerce and other slave
catching advocates, arc doing what they can
to transfer the slave market, from Baltimore and
Charleston, to New York and Philadelphia
Whenever a victim is seized and delivered by
their diabolcal law and equally diabolical
agents, they with a sanctimony that would
honor any phariseo whose Jesus ever rebukod,
propose 10 purchase him from the doom to
which they have themselves assigned him. In
accordance with this standing rule of theirs,
they proposed that the opponents of the fugi-
tive law should purchase Preston from the ten
der mer;ics of the Methodist Glass Leader to
whom they had sent him. Fifteen hundred
dollars, We arc told would do it. A cute way
Of inducing the friends Of freedom to pay the
fees of Bustccd and Martin. The Glass Lead
or, demanding 81 100 as the price of the man,
800 for his recovery.
Tho New York Evening Post illustrates the
beauty Of this measure by the history of an
Irishman, who having broken countryman's
arm in fight, charitably went round with a
subscription paper for his relief. In answer to
to the suggestion that as he had himself done
the mischicf,he should pay for the cure, he rcpli
cd, that if "thosc who proiessed sorrow for his
suffering conrad, could jist shoe they ieerc
not big hypocrites, by putting do,on The money"
The Post thinks the enemies of the law can
afford to be called "big, hypocritcs' by these
imitators of Paddy, for several very good rca-
sons, and in this we concur. Because,
Preston has travelled north oEco-and might
find the road again and perchunco as tho pilot Of
numerous company. Because tho New York
market is too dear. The money asked for, Pres
ton would buy whole family in some other.
Because the purchase would make slave catch
ing neutrality-suspicious. to the claimant, who
asks 100 per cent moro for his damaged chrt-
tel in this, than no would think of asking in
any southern market, and highly profitable to
all the menials he employs. 1t would multiply
the Bustccds and Curtses-the Klincs and
Martins, and thus still more cndangcr the Sc
curity of all the colorcd people of the country.

Encowaging.-T industrial Congress of
New York, an institution devoted to the free
land and the labor interest, has almost unani.
mously, adopted the following resolution, con-
dcmning Commissioner Morton. Heretofore
the class represented by the Congress, have been
quite cautious about compromising their cause,
by any deceive action against slavery or any Of
its concomitants. We rejoice in any indico-
tions, that they arc taking broader and trucr
views of the questions of land and labor The
white laborcrs of ono portion Of tho Confcdor-
acy can never attain desirable independence
and intelligence, while aiding to chattelizc the
working men and women Of one half tho ma
tion.
"Rosolvcd, That this Congress views with
feelings of alarm and indignation, the recent ac-
ton of Commissioner Morton, in the case of
one Preston, claimed as a fugitive slave; the
said Commissioner having refused TO Preston
the right to prove his freedom
They have also under discussion resolu-
ton condemning the Fugitive Law as follows :
"Rcsolvcd That this Congress rc-afirms its
hostility to the Fugitive Slave Law, and
earnestly dcprccating its enforcement, call upon
all who claim to be, or would be frcemen, to
exert their utmost power to procure its repeal.
