the declarations then uttered.
"He said, in the moral progress of the few past
years, we had gained much in the vindicstion
of the involuntary servitude of the Africans, as
right, both in the abstract and the concrete.
Northern men, to some extent, have not only
moderated their opposition by better compre-
hension of the subject, but, what is much more
important to u.s. Southern apologists for Slavery
have ceased to exist. We no longer hear in OF {

rid of. Free discussion and broaper inquiry
have Taught them that it is blessing to the
African who has been transferred from bar
bsrian to a civilized master, and that the hof.
rors of the slave trade are the offspring of the
efforts to suppress it. AS political question,
he thought our fathers did right to prohibit the
traffic in African slaves, but that they did wrong
to declare it piracy the African master hsv-
ing the same right 10 sell his slave that he had
to dispose of any other species of property. To
teach the barbarian how to labor, to enlighten
his soul by the divine teachi GO of Christianity,
to develope the resources of our country, TO
give employment and save from starvation mil
lions In other lands, and generally to increase
the comfort of human family, has been the eff
feet of substituting African for Indian labor !;
and the candid historian who, in after ages
shall review the events Of our time, will find
much more to commend in that domestic insti-
tuition, which has brought upon the South the
anathemas of Abolitionists at home and

CAPTURE OF THE CITY OF MEXICO.

Gen. Gideon J. Pillow has written an ad
dress to the Tennesseeans, relative to the secret
causes of the srmistice before the CITY of Mex
leo, &C., &c. and as it occasions good deal
of comment, perhaps Gen. Scott will reply.
Gen. Pillow, it will be remembered. was the
only general officer in the American armv who
opposed the armistice. He charges that the
true history of SCOTS achievements in the war
would exhibit something very much like bar
gain and sale with Santa Anna--says, in fact.
that old Wooden Leg was bribed to a peace.
The Tennesseean General States that N. P.
Trist the American Commissioner who accom-.
panied Scott, was empowered by President
Polk to effect treaty whenever such a con.
summation was to be desired, and it could be
done upon good terms. Afterwards the Presi-
Diet doubted Trist's ability, and he looked about
him for q man whom he could trust to over.
look and secretly direct the operations of both
Gen. Scott and Trist. The choice fell upon
Pillow himself. He says of this appointment.
at will hence he seen that, while Mr.. Trist
was the ostensibe commissioner, aoas IN fact
the confidential officer Of the Government. upon
whom the President relied to guard and pro-
tect the honor, of the country in the important
negotiations involving the peace of the coun-
try"
The agreement between Gen. Scott and San
ia Anna, he says, was bargain by which the
mercenary and traitorous Mexican General
agreed to sell peace for round million of
dollars, ten thousand ($l0O0O) of which we're
to be paid down in cash as a first instalment,
and the balance after battle had been fought
before the city, and in case the Mexicans were
defeated, which event seems to have been look
ed upon as certain, by our army at least.
To this arrangement Gen. Pillow strongly
objected. His remonstrance with Gen. Scott
proving Ineffective, he sent the details of the
affair to the President, who recalled Trist at
once, but not in season to anticipate the actual
payment to Santa Anna of $4,000. Mean
time, two important battles had been fought,
and the arrangement was being rapidly car
ried out to completion. Gen. Pillow, while
leading his division, and taking active meas
ures to break up the bargain and to effect an
immediate forcible entrance into the city of
Mexico, was ordered by Gen. Scott to fall back
on account of the armistice. This armistice
proved to be what Gen. Pillow had predicted,
for Santa Anna took advantage of it to
strengthen his position, and, having secured
the $4,000, the arch villain determined to risk
the chances of another desperate battle-and
the bloody day of the 18th of September was
the result. Chapultepec was won, but at
great sacrifice of life. Gen. Pillow himself was
afterwards arrested, as he AYERS, through the
revengeful agency of Mr.. Trist, and imprisoned
for month or two in the Mexican capital,
when the President ordered him to be released.
Gen. Pillow is candidate for the United
States Senate; hence This Hartford

A ROMANTIC STORY.-Great was the curi
oSity expressed at Trouvile, to ascertain the
cause of the arrival of the newly-married Mar.
quis Dial A, with his beautiful bride. at sucb
an obscure and distant place as Trouville must
appear to a nobleman of Bologna. The mys.
terry, however, was explained by compatriot
of the young couple, whose story, to his own
astonishment, has thrown even a greater interest
around the lady than that created by her
youth, beauty, and melancholy air, had done
before. This gentleman relates, that the youth
full Marquise, whose beauty and great wealth
had made her celebrated throughout Italy, was
Just finishing her education at the convent of
Santa Pace. One fine summers eve, the
young ladies were enjoying the fresh breeze
upon the convent terrace, when they were sur
prised by party of brigands, who secured the
young heiress, and carried her up to the noun
tains. Such is the bel plessness of authority in
Italy, that for more than three months neeoti.
ations were carried on between her relations
and the wretches who had carried her off, con-
corning the amount of her ransom. At the
very first outset, it had been made so exorbi.
tant, that an attempt was made to rescue her
by force, and troops were sent against the
brigands. The expedition was unsuccessful,
and the amount was In consequence doubled
by the brigands as punishment. More than
the demands of the brigands, and it was not
until the treaty was signed by the mayor and
authorities of Bologna, as guarantee for the
family, and safe pass accorded to the escort
appointed to deliver up the yonng lady at
certain place among the mountains, that any
terms could be acceded to. Remember, that
this is no invention of Anne Radcliffe, or taken
from any other novel writer, but an adventure
of our own day, happening not more than
few months ago. The Marquis Dial A was
then studying at the university. He had en-
deavored to excite the gallantry and ardor of his
fellow-students to hurry in body to the rescue
of the young lady, but the professors, getting
wind OF the intention, succeeded in preventing
the organization of the expedition. However,
imagination and pity together produced love,
and, in spite of the reduction of the dowry by
the payment of the ransom, he became the pro-
tector of beauty in distress, not for time, but
for life. 1t was deemed advisable, however, to
keep the marriage as private as possible, and
the young couple etermined-contrsry to all
