ATTEMPT TO FoIsr SLAVERY upoN OREooN.-The
Rochester IN. " Democrat makes the following
remarkable statement:
W expect soon to publish COMMUNICATIONS
from q gentleman Of the highest intelligence. and
OF entire reliability, in reference to the purpose Of
many Of the Southern settlers in Oregon Of estab-
fishing slavery there as soon as they CAP induce u
majority OF the people to a State organization
But for the Wilmot Proviso, which was incorpora.
ted into the Territorial Act, these men would now
claim the right, under the new tangled doctrine of
the Buchanan party that tho Constitution toler.
ates and protects slavery in the Territories, to hold
slaves in Oregon; and the influence of Government
would be used to support the claim.
We learn that the failure Of the attempt to or.
pan.zn a SfotN (.nvnrnp,nrt ~ -, .,,. -, -
the fact that the leading schemers were known to
have their plans perfected for making Oregon n
slave State. They have not abandoned their pur-
poses, but are necessarily obliged to postpone it
until the present Indian difficulties are settlvd.'
The editor of the st. Louis Daily Herald, q pa
per which supports both Buchanan and Fillmore,
but IN a recent number urges a union of the South
upon Buchanan, has been on n trip through sever
al of the Western States, and thus expresses him.
self:
w met a great number of persons from all
parts of the United States, in passing over some
five or six different railroads, in the West, and
stopping at various hotels, and must say that ace
,cere aStOniShed at tie extraordinary popularity of
Fremont. The people seem wild on the niger
question. We met but one single Fillmore man
during our trip Of over twelve hundred miles"
The editor further states that he conversed with
those who were formerly leading Wings, Demo-
Gratis and Know Nothings, who were all in favor
of Fremont. That the only hope Of The south was
securing Pennsylvania and California Cincinnati
gazette.
TIE remains Of a magnificent palace have been
discovered under q garden in the Isle of Capri. 1t

in situation, commanding IL view Of the bay Of Pal
ermo and Naples. Marble Of various colors were

far as the excavations have proceeded. are OF the
most spacious and elegant character. The door
way is twelve feet wide, and of white marble, and
the rooms are paved in mosaic, while the walls are
painted red, blue, yellow. &c. Several coins of the
reign Of Augustus and Liberals have been found,
some of them disclosing the curious fact that the
coins of one reign were at times recoined in anoth'
er.
Tobacco is being extensively cultivated by thu
French in Algeria. A report has been recently
made by "a French connoisUur. who represents the
Government in Algeria, to the Minister of War, il
which it is declared that the tobacco of Egyp
Macedonia, and Greece, is inferior to that of AL
geria; that the tobacco of Hungary is not so agree
able to the taste; that the tobacco of Kentucky is
not so fine, and does not burn so well; that the pro.
duction of Maryland is more bitter; and, in a word
that the French tobacco of Algeria is the finest
and best OH the face Of earth.
The SuProstt StAvER.-The Providence Jour-
nal says there is no doubt that the deserted schoon-
er recently taken into Newport was d slave vessel.
She is q splendid model, not over three years old,
and pronounced by the pilots and boatmen Of New
port as in their opinion one of the fastest vessels
that ever came into that port. She is about l40
tons burden. The name 'Ferrit' is cut on the star
board rail, and Elise on the larboard rail. Off.
GERS are on the track of the owners of the vessel,
ard have hopes of bringing them to justice.
By THE UNDERGROUND RAILRoAD.--One day last
week a party of sixteen escaped slaves arrived in
Canada, and found quarters in Stamford township
One of the walters at the Clifton House, near the
Suspension Bridge, who escaped, two or three
years ago, from bondage in Virginia, was appriset
of the coming of the party and exerted himself tt

he told the tale to q gentleman at the hotel whC
was his masters n~eighbor in Virginia. The re

~PITlFUL.-The fine imposed Upon Bully Brooks,
the s~neaking coward who assaulted Senator Sum
ner, by Judge Crawford, is an act of pitiful mean,
ness. Three hundred dOUars-this is Southern

Crawford, whoever he may be, should be consign'
ed to the category of 'audaciouS Judges.'
