<sUNioS SLIDERs."-Our neighbors of the
Clearfcld Republican, 10 their issue of last
week, publish several "extracts" (Which pur-
port to be from speeches made by Ben Wade
and Gen. Banks In the State of Mains). for the
purpose of showing that these gentlemen are
"Union Slidera." Let the intelligent reader
reflect but one moment in reference to the I'M
putations OF the editors of the Republican and
ask himself the questions-Where are Wade
and Banks this day7 Are they on the side of
the Union or are they with the Southern rebels 2
Tho answer undoubtedly will be-Wade is in
the United States Senate, as true and loyal
citizen, engaged in devising m cans for the sup
preston OF the Southern rebellion and for the
preservation of the Union and Banks is at
the head OF division of the Union army dri-
wing the traitors before him at every step he
advances. Such men need no defence before
an intelligent and loyal people. To stigma
tize loyal men as "U Union Sliders," is certain
'fy q most "foul slander.''

LIBERIA AND HAYTI.

A proposition to recognize the Independence
of the Republic of Liberia and of Hayti has
been introduced into the United States SEN
ate. 1t is somewhat singular fact that al
though the former country is an offshoet of
American civilization, peopled almost entire
ly by emancipated slaves, or other colored
emlgrants from this country, our Government
has never established diplomatic relations
with 1t. Many of our best and wiSeSt states
men-Hcnry Clay among the number-advo-
Gated this measure with great zeal and earn
estness, bnt without success. The chief OBJ
lection urged was, the danger that a negro
representative might be sent to Washington
but 1t was proposed to ebv late this by appoint
ment as minister one of the white agents of
the Colonization Society. This whole ques-
tion is one Of considerable interest. We are
trading people, and have endeavored to ad-
vance our interests by establishing CONNER
cial treaties with nations of all climes and
nearly of all colors, without reference to their
religion or form of Government. With the
Indians We have made innumerable treaties
the Japanese embassy We delighted to honor
IN every imaginable way, at great national and
municipal expenses, without the prospect of
deriving much profit or advantage in any way
The mission to China is considered very ac-
ceptablc and desirable position even by supe-
rIor diplomats who are leading spirits of the
Breckenridge organization. They evidently
have no objection to any color-except black.
NOT, lnueeu, 90 tuey always AVOID black.
Brazil, the great slavehoiding country of South
America, although it has white emperor,
often has negro ministers of State. 1t was
favorite Court for the Virginia aspirants to
diplomatic posts and such men IS Henry A.
Wise and Robert X. Scott have delighted to
pay their respects, after the most approved
style of courtly etiquette, in the latitude OF
Rio Janeiro, to men black as any of the
slaves upon their plantations. They did not,
apparently, find themselves very much horri-
fed by such official contact with South Amer
lean negroes.
In considering the proprety of recognizing
Liberia and Hayti, it mast be remem bered
that our chief object would be to promote our
own interests, in two ways: first, by increas-
ing our trade with those countries and sec
ond, by diminishing difficulties in the way of
the emigration, to them, of the surplus colored
population of the United States. 1t is proba-
ble that one of the main reasons why Liberia
has not advanced more rapidly has been the
neglect and aversion which has been mari
tested towards it by our Government. By its
recognition, at least one step will be made to-
wards remedying this error. With Hayti and
Liberia open to receive, and to gladly well
come, colored emigrants from our soil. if we
were in constant receipt of official information
indicating their prosperity, we would have
little apprehension of redundant and bur-
densome negro population swarming in upon
the free States.-Press.

AN IMPORTANT TREArY.-The treaty ratified
by tho q. S. Senate on the Oath April, between
England and the United States is, perhaps, the
most important that has been made for many
years, as l'y its prov isions the slave trade Is
surrounded by so many perils that the sefari-
Gus operators must be driven from the bus-
moss. The leading feature of the treaty is
that vessels of war of both nations are allow
cd to search merchant vessels belonging to
zach other, within the limits of 200 miles from
tho coast of Africa, south Of Cape de Verde,
and within 80 leagues around the Island of
Cuba. Mixed tribunals are to be established
st two ports on the coast Of Africa for the trial
of parties engaged in the slave trade, both ma
tions to be equally represented.

A Historical EvENr.-The Presidents wis.,
1t to the French frgate Gassendi, on the 26th,
WAS an event Of historical Importance. 1t is
said, that this was the first time a President
ever went on board foreign vessel of war;
aud the first French vessel of war that ever
camo to Washington. The President was re-
.ceived with all the honors usually shown the
Emperor OF France. The yards were manned,
ahe ship was dressed in flags, the American
national ensign foated at the main, and tho
French flag at the fore mizzen and peak. The
national salute was fred on the Presidents ar
rival and again on his departure. Admiral
Raynaud received him at the foot of the lad
der, and the seamen shouted "Viue le Prest-
dsnti" on his arrival and departure. The ,is-
II passed off 10 the satisfaction of all parties.

BY SAMUEL J. ROW
CLEARFIELD. PA, APRIL 80, 1862.

FRoM Misunderstanding accounts have
been received from Mexico. After an unsatis-
factory conference between the Allied Com
manders, the French General had decided to
march his Division against Mexico City, TAX
ing upon himself all the responsibility OF the
act. The English and Spanish Plenipotea-
tiariss thereupen decided to withdraw their
troops. The reactionary party had made pre-
paratioas TO make final campaign against the
Juarez Government. The ministers Of JUS
tice and Agriculture had arrived by special
express from Mexico City at Vera Cruz to con-
fer with the French commander. They were
also received with all due honor by Gen. Prim.
Gen. Miranda and sx-President Almonte are
with the French General, and have published
proclsmatisns to the people adverse to the
.Juarez Administration. Senior Doblado had
issued q counter proc lamatiOn, branding Al
monte and his adherents as traiteSs. The plan
Of Almonte is to overthrow the present Gov
ernmsnt, to have himself recognized as Dicts-
tor, and then call National Assembly, to
take into consideration the deplorable condi-
tion of the country, and decide which will be
the best form OF government for it. A num-
Der of Almonte's adherents have signed doc
umsnt supporting this measure.

channel seven miles below that town. Our

also taken two small steamers. It is further
stated that the rebel pickets are occasionally
seen on the south side of the river Our
troops still command the possession OF Freder-
icksburg, the residents of which arc entirely
free In their usual business pursuits.
