them around for while he returned to his accus

up again. Going from Boston to Salem, some years

THE TINES ON THE soUTH.-The London Times, In
a leader on the present difficulties between Eng
land and this country, says:
1t is peculiarly unfortunate that the Anti Slavery
crusaoe should allienate from England the Dor tiol
Of the American community which would other
wise be drawn nearer to us by interest aud by in
clnation. During the enlistment dispute the on

Eugland proceeded from the Southern Senators
aud the journals of the Slave States proclaimed
with amusing extravaganza the superiority Of the
old country to the hated Yankee territories of the
North Anglo-phobia is adopted by conflicting or
ators and factions principally because it is sup
posed to involve a sentiment of unanimous suspi

the suspension of the slave trade agitation left o.
the na ural operation of their sympathies with the
C Jtton buyers, quarrels with Engiaud p0 I'D be
come doubtful party questions, instead OF nish
ing a common fund of popularity to conffictins
demagogues 1t will be highly desirable to con
fine the impending controversy to the facts of thu
alleged aggression. And general discussion o
the policy of America In regard to the slave trade
will only give unproftable offence. 1t is certain
that the existing treaty has not been Yigorousl,
executed, and still more certain that no American
President will offend the most influential portion
of his constituents by emulating the zeal OF III,
English cruisers on the Coast of Africa or of Cuba
but prudent Governments, like men of sense /,
private life, look for efforts Of extraordinar,
Zeal from those who comply against their will.

shall was boarded twice by the British Commodor
on the African station. The second time the Com
mo- oiore mustered the crew of the American brig
and informed them that he believed their paper
were forgeries, and that he bad a notion of takin
their vessel pirate, and should he do this, the
would all be condemned to death. Furthermore
he threatened that If he should fall In again witt
the brig Marshall, outside of Dutch jurisdiction
he would assuredy make her his prize. 1t wa

AN AMERICAN Boy IN MExIco.-We learn from
Mexican paper that a rencontre had occurred o
the Paseo, the public drive of Mexico, between a
Englishman named Buchanan and Mr.. John Fo
