when the fleets leave the Bay. The settlement OF the
war question now depends upon the evacuation OF
the Prncipalities All the prelminaries appear to be
adjusted still further advance in grain is reported
AxornER ARRrvAl-Just before going to press last
night despatch was received giving later news by
the Niagara. 1t gives a different phase to the War
question.
Mr. D. in ylndisatiOu Of Hlmsel-A Bait for the SOuth
Mr. Dix, of Free Soil notorety, has undertaken, L
seems at this particular juncturc to prove himself
National Democrat by indicting episte to some
one in the State of Georgia, in which he defines his
position as follows
"lst That / am not never have been an abolition
list in anv sense Of that On the contrary, have
been an open and uniform opponent Of all abolition move
ments this State and elsewhere since they commenced
in 1885, the present time While in the Senate oil the
Unite States opposed the extension of slavery to free
territory-a question entirely distinct from interference
with slavery where already exists In the latter case,
have steadily opposed all external interference with H.
80. That have all occasions public and private
since the Fugitive Slave Law passed, declared myself in
favor Of carrying into execution in good faith like every
other law Of the land.
al That was in favor of the union Of the Democracy
of this State which consummated in lslO, continued
in 1851 on the basis Of the Compromise Measures, and 10
18th. That have since the Baltimore Convention w
June 1852 repeatedly given public assent 10 its pro-
ceedngs and acquiesced in its declarations as an adjust
ment Of disturbing questions by which was "i"s 10
abide"
All this was intended for the Southern market, and
safely reached its destination, from whence it has
been transferred to the columns of the Washington
Union for circulation among the Compromise Demo-
cracy in general The renowned Free Socr sticks 20
his opposition to the extension OF slavery free
ritory under all the exigencies of his lie tells
his Georgia friend, what every body knew, that while
in the Senate e the United States he opposed the
tension of slavery free territory, but he takes good
care not to tell him that he will DO any thing
else than oppose it to the bitter end whenever the
question may arise He sticks his Free Soil creed
on this question of vital importance to the South
He is in favor Of carrying into execution, in good
faith the Fugitive Slave Law like any other lar ct
the land" beca Use he cannot help himself He tells
him that he was in favor Of the union Of the Dcmc-
cracy of this State New York. which was consumma-
ted in ls4O continued in 1871, on the basis OF tie
Compromise measures, and in 1852 on the basis Of
the Baltimore Platform" But Mr.. Dix appears 10
have skipped very impor tant period in the history
Of the Democracy on this question. He Forgot to
mention the part he took in lsis in favor OF the cleo
ton Of Martin Van Buren, to the Presidency on the
ornnnd Of opposition 10 the ComPromiso measures
There much tact in that, the least he said on
that subject TO his Georgia friends the better but
other people will hardly forget it. All hc said on other
matters will no; tend to prejudice him in the cs,ma-
tion Of his Free Soil friends. They know their man.
We suppose Mr.. Dixs vindicaton will prove quite
satisfactory to the Southern Democracy. 1t is true
Gen. Cas- once wrote letter Of somewhat similar
import for the Southern market, all Of which he had
occasion TO take back afterwards 10y informing his
Southern friends that they had not sense enough
10 understand il, and why cannot Mr.. Dix do the
same? The French mission is stake and the South
ern Democracy must be conci.iatcd by a shrcwdiy
written Yankee letter. The secret is plain enough
why the appointment has been delayed. The Prtsi-
dent has been giving Mr. Dix time to play his hand
at the South 50 tina: the fulGlment of his pledge will
not create such rumpus in the camp. The game
has been working admirably for MessrS Pierce Dix
d Co. The Southern Democrats are riy1. quite en-,
couraging indications Of becoming reconcieI to what
is going to be any how. Mr. Dix has already been
endorsed by portion Of them, and in due time the
President will issue his commission "cut AMI dry for
the French Mission. 1t is not worth while for him
10 wait much longer. lie may as well pass him along
at once.
