From the Boston Traveller.
A Love Affair Of Benedict Ar
nOld's.

The following is a yer'able letter, written
10y General Benedict Arnold, enclosing one to
Miss Deblois of Boston. 1t was addressed to
Mrs. Gen. Knox, who was then residing in
Boston,a and was friend Of Arnolds lady love,
who was, as we understand from one of her
few surviving contemporaries, quite belle in
Boston, lady Of most respectable standing
in society, and of fortune. Whether she re-
ciprocated Arnold's passion We cannot learn.
! Whether she did or did not, however, it is Ger.
4, ~ that the parties were never united, and
tho lady was never married; tradition says that
sonnet, me subsequently, to the date Of this let
tor she went SO far as 10 enter the church for
the nurnos,? of being married to Boston gen.
,lemau. and that there the marriage was for
hidden by her o svn mother; for what reason is
not now known. Miss Deblois lived and died
Boston in single blessedness and high re-
noc ,~bility.

1920 up to the present year, the abolitionists Of
the north have denounced the Missouri com
promise, and it has been their boast that every
northern man who voted for it thereby dug his
own political grave. No,o what do we behold?
abrogating the Missouri law and declare that
whoever in Congress shall vote for that will
commit political suicide.
Fortunately they have no. the power to exc
cute their threats. They sung the same tune
in 1850, but the compromise of that year prov
ed popular measure jsst as Mr.. Douglas bill
