AnolIr1oN Spies AMONG Us.

~ The following aTtlcSy CUplSu iEuIl GlAt EiubHe
gister Of the 9TH inst will startle some of our etzen
and will probably arouse general feeling Of indgnt
ton amongst all who are not prepared to submit to
regular system Of Federal espionage With this prt
rs lirninary we submit the article in question:
IS SPIES UPoN Us-On Saturday last some of our eli
liens ascerained that secret agent of the Govern
ment, sent hther for the purpose Of embarrassing th
emigration to Nicaragua, had been for some days il
l. our midst As soon as this was definitely known
preparations were made to drive the gentleman from
the town but on enquiry at his hotel it was discoy
: cred that he had left for Washington about twely
o'clock in the day. Judge Campbell took his depart
ure tine same day, about hour previously, and b.
t different route. The secret agent--the spy-wht
was sent to Alabama in order TO defeat an enterprs
for the extension Of slavery, is called Gen. Wilson
and his residence is that hot-bed of Abolitionism-
the State of Ohio.
Truly they are determined to fool us to the tor
bent. 1t is not sufficient thatthe Collector of Mo
bile has instructions to refuse clearance to all yes
sells and persons suspected of being engaged eff
fort to carry slavery into Central America that an
intoerant and prosecuting Judge calls special term
OF the Court, with view of exhaustng his Intellect
and his influence in the attempt to defeat the enter
prise; that a leading member of the bar should be
employed to examine and cross.examlae witnesses
within the sacred precincts of the grand jury ROOM IN
order to elicit if possible some evidence 70 tant the
character of the emigration to Nicaragua. In add,
ton to all this spy from Ohio is sent among u.s. and
he is seen sneaking about the wbarves and ware
houses of the city, to find out something contraband

The above needs no comment. It speaks for it.
SELF and IN thunder tones at that 1t shows plainly
that the Government has resOrted to corrupt means
10 defeat purely Southern as well purely legal
enterprse-simply because its tendencies were South
ern-and II any benefit would accrue from its con,

slavehoding States We make these remarks freely

again, thatth whole policy ofthe Administration in
his regard, has been calculated to bring odium upon
The American name, dishonor upon the American
lag and lasting intamy upon the American arms.
Ne have spoken warmly before, and now speak
