GENERAL ScoTT sailed from n. Y. on the
Goth for the northern frontier of Washing
ton Territory. He isnow scventy-four years
old. The Boston TrareHer. remarks point
eddy and well. on the subject, as follows:
The appointment of Gen. Scott 10 the San
Juan mission shows the desire of our govern.
ment t. prevent the occurrence Of any troub-
Ie between the United States and England.
Whenever government has a wish to preserve
peace, or to push the war vigorously, it
sends for Gen. Scott. and sends him off on Il
mission. When the nullifitrs threatened to
make war on the United S ates. and conquer
us. in 1928, President jackson sent Gen.
Scott to Sluth Carolina, where he did good
service IN the cause of peace. When we had
troubles on the Canadian borders. he was
sent there, and kept war from breaking out
with England. He was employed in a SINH
lar way in Maine. in the troubles that grew
out of the boundary question. He effected
the removal Of the Cherokees quietly; and
now he zoe, to the Utmost bounds of the ma

RE-OPESING OF tn AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.
-" No question of domestic policy has ever,
within our recollection. grown so rapidly in
fav r as has the proposition to repeal the laws
by which the African slave-trade, and conse-
%quently the labor system of the South Is re-
s%tricted. and the vitality and perpetuity of
ter institutions endangered. We assure our
Providence contemporary, there is a we'll
founded, deep-roOtcd, and wide-spreadlng
conviction in the minds of our Southern peo-
pie, that u domestic institution so indispens-
able to their prosperity, so essential to their
social, political, and material equality in the
Union, must be free to their own control
and regulation. The recent ~insolent and
defiant attempt of the North to circumscribe
and prescribe the South, to exclude her by
force from the public domain, and by emf
grafton aid societies to invade and ~colonize
her border States, has opened the eyes of the
Southern people to the fact. that If they
would preserve not only their equality, but
their very existence in or out of the Union,
they must have more African stock" as
the North has its yearly influx OF European
stock, and that, IN accordance with TIE uni
versal rule of political economy, the relations
of supply and demand must regulate her la
Dor system, as it doe. tbs labor system of the
North"

SLAVERY N MIssoUR!.-The St. Louis
Democrat says that upwards OF four hundred
slaves leave that State every week nearly all
of whom go to the South, and argues that
this draining must soon rid the State Of
Slavery, This activity IN the slave market is
occasioned in great part by the present high
prices obtained, though there are doubtless
o,her causes that have their influence. The
gross receipts of money IN Missouri, this year.
from this source, it is thought will amount to
millions of dollars.

REMARKABLE BURGLARY. \ party of bur-
glars lately took quiet possession of the dwell
house of Mrs. Geo. Palmer,-a widow lady
residing at NJ. IS First St, Troy n. Y,
right opposite the residence OF Gen. Wool,
and in one Of the most denscly populated
and frequented part Of the city-while she
was absent for some weeks. The house was
locked, and the neighbors on either side did
not notice any disturbance of it. DIR. Ii.
Young, who had it in charge, found on the
morning of the 18th that the basement lock
had been tempered with, and on e~fftcting an
entrance found that it had been occupied by
thieves and seriously pillaged. An examina-
ton by Mrs. Palmer. who was sent for, show
ed that the ~depre1ations had been very great.
Valuable articles, silver plate, coin, costly
silk dresses and other clothing, had been t
ken, and valuable plated articles were broken
to ascertain whether they were solid silver or
no. There was abundant proof that the
thieves had lodged and fed themselves at their
leisure in the house.

A HlsToRIcAL HoG.-The San Juan diff
Guilty gives symptoms of having had a ride
ulous origin, and of reaching a very peaceful
termination. A correspondent of the N. Y.
Times, writing from San Francisco, says hat
an American, one Cutter, shot a trespassing
hog. belonging to one Griffin, an employee
Of the nndson's Bay Company. An angry
dispute arose between the parties, and one
Frazer. TO frighten Cutter. threatened him
with the law, and that he should be taken to
Victoria on Vancouver's Island for trial.
Cutter rolled up his sleeves and dared t EN-
to try it on. In the Ia &c stories mannfac-
tured from this hog quarrel, Gen. Harvey
found reasons for taking armed possession of
the Island, giving notice to Gov. Douglass
that he had. in his own discretion az military
commander Of Oregon, done SO to protect
the American citizens from the insults and
indignities which the British authorities of
Vancouver's Island &c. had offered them, by
sending a British ship Of war to seize an
American citizen and transport him, forcibly
to Vancouver's Island for trial by British
laws &c.
Gov. Douglass replies, in substance. by
denying unqualiiedly that anything of the
sort had been lone or thought of; that had
Gen. Harvey communicated with him, (Gov.
d. before acting, he would have found out
that there WAS not the slightest occasion for
his procedure. He hints to Gen. Harvey
that, since he had acted under an entire MIS-
conception as to the facts, it would be quite
proper for him to withdraw his troops-their
presence there, while the question Of sover-
eighty was unsettled, being a mark of dis
courtesy to a friendly government, and liable
to breed strife between the military forces of
two friendly nations in a distant part of the
world.

A COOP DEFINITIoN.-B. F. Hallett, a
we'll known Democratic politician, of Massa-
chusetts, in q recent speech, defined what
g popular sovereignty is in Democratic die
tionaIies. He said
This whole question of popular sovereignty is
the merest abstract of an abstraction, nothing that
Is practical; a question, on which one man saws
popular Sovereignty and then means uhat he has
a mindto, and another cries out popular ,ove-
relgnty,' and means ,rhateur he please, By it.; and
nobody defines eractiy his position"
MIR. Hallett beats both Douglas and Black.
HIS definition of the Democratic idea of popu-
lar sovereignty is better than either of theirs.

Off gnawing at the root Of jay and peace
And love, is the whitening blighting canker,
When to human eyes all is fair without.
Pu' search ye well within, you'll End the root
Of bitterness. So calm aud peacefully
