have lille faith in any auempi 10 unite IN

ponenls Of slavery extension, differing as
they do, SO widely upon olheri matters ol

such an organization, which at most can be
but Temporary. One thing, however, can
and we think should be done. All parties
opposed TO slavery extension may unite upon
one candidate, say, for Congress, or for Su
preme Judge, and by such a union may
succeed in elcc,ing their candidate. This
may be done without the necessity Of fight
Ing bitter revolutionary wars, or abandoning
any party organizations. Farther than this

TIE DESTRUCTION OF GREYTowN.---On
our frs, page may be found some account
Of this disgraceful affair. As mos. of our
readers may have forgotten the circumsan-
ces Of this das,ardly ac,, we subjon a briel
statement Of the main facts.
When Senator Borland represented the
United States as minister 10 Central Ameri'
ca, he was On board the steamer Northern
Light, commanded by a Capt. Smith. This
Cap. Smith had quarrel with negro cop.
lain Of bungo. Smiths steamer ran inlo
.he bungo,- when the negro ,hrealeLed 10
shoot Smith i'll he broke his boat. The bunso
was not injured a. that lime. The steamer
started down The river, but, afier proceeding
short distance put back again, apparently
for no other purpose Than 10 run into the
bungo again. which IL did, crushing it 10 al
oms. Tho negro was sitting In his boat
with his gun across his knees, ahd before
he made any demonstrations against Smith,
tho latter deliberately shot him dead. When
the officers Of Greyiown went on board the
steamer 10 lake Smith, they were resisted by
ibe passengers, headed by Borland, who in
a speech 10 them, said lha, he was instructed
not 10 recognize in any nunner The aulhori.
tyof GreyIown, which was under the gov.
ernment Of the Mosquito King. Mr.. Bor'
land, however, was arrested and imprisoned
as tho ring-leuder Of The mob, who resisted
ihe officers in attempting TO arrest a wilIul
and malicious murderer. This arrest and
Imprisonment. OF our Minister by the aul hor.
lilies Of the town, is considered an insult TO
our government, and thereupon President
Pierce orders the destruction OF The town,
as repara,ion Tor the offence or indignity.
A, least, this is the apparent reason. Proba-
bly, there is something behind all this
Greyiown, as we remarked before, Is under
the government Of the Mosquito King, and
The aforesaid King is under the British Pro-
Ieclora,e By the destruction Of The town,
an Indirect insult is offered TO Great Britain.
Whether she viii resent il or not remains to
be seen. .,.s Fg
10 she proceedings Of Congress of late
dale, we perceive that message was re-
ceiyed 10 The House from the President, in
relation 10 the affair, in which he stntes that
Captain Hollins acted under instructions
from the Government. This places The
whole blame upon the administration. Yer.
lily, Presiden, Pierce Is hero on a very
smau scale.

A RIoT IN A QUIET WAy.-On Monday
night Of las. week, abou. fony Of the young
men Of this place, somewhat excited by re-
cent occurrences, concluded TO tear down The
house in which Mrs. Cahoon resided, just
below town. Abou. IL O'Clock, they repair.
ed 10 The spot, with axes, picks. &C., and
commenced The work OF demolition. The
family having been privately warned Of their
intention, had escaped 10 some other place.
While engaged in cu,,ing and, ,slashing, we
understand one Of the owners Of the house
addressed The Captain Of the host, and wish.
ed to know what they were doing. He was
politely Informed tia, they were sent from
the County seat TO demolish tha, house,
Afer learning that the house belonged to
him-lhai the family would nolb be pelmi,led
to remain there any longer, &C., the crowd
ceased their labogs, and returned home
The next morning, the Germans who owned
the building visited the Conr,holse 10 make
some inquiries, supposing that the work
had been officially sanctioned, and were as
tonished 10 learn thai The County officers
knew nothing about 1t. We have heard
some threats Of prosecuting those engaged
in the affair; but whether this will be done
or not, we cannot ssy. Certain are we thai
the family was public nuisance, and should
have been removed long ago. Sill we think
no necessity existed for ipjuring The proper
~. Had they been legally expelled from
the premises. or even illegally expelled,
wi,hou. injury to the properly, wo presume
no fault would have been found; but on the
contrary, there would have been a,general
rejoicing. They Che Cahoon family were
