General of Cuba that, Gin the absence
of an cXtradition treaty between the
Governments, or of any law, public
or municipal, authorizing the rendition
our Government could not grant the
request" but promised to lay the mat
ter, in n confidential way, before the
Department of State.
In like manner, Scnor Don Gabriel
G.. Tassara, the Spanish Minister at
Washington;-in communicating the
facts of the case to our Government,
employing almost the inspiSsimd rerJd
of Mr.. Savage, and thus showing that
both Mr.. Tassara and Mr.. Savage
wrote from representations prepared
for them by the Cuban authorities, }
took care to state that he was swell
aware that no extradition treaty exists
between tho United States and Spain,
in virtue of which the surrender of
Arguelles to the authorities of Cuba
might be obtained; yet, considering
the gross and scandalous outrage which
has been committed, as well as the
interests of humanity at stake in the
prompt resolution of this matter" it
was added, she has not hcsitated in
submitting the case in this confden-
tial way to the consideration of the
United States Government, in order
to ascertain whether an incident so
exceptional could not be met with cx-
ceptional measures"
Thus addressed on the subject, the
President ordered the arrest and sur.
render of Col. Arguelles; and the Sec.
retary of State, in reporting the trans
action to Congress writes:
"There being no treaty of feXtradition
between the United States and Spain
nor any act of Congress directing how
fugitives from justice in Spanish do
minions shall be delivered up, the
cxtradition in the Arguelles case is
understood by the State Department
to have been made in virtue Of the
law of nations and the Constitution Of
the United States. Although there is
a conflict authorities concerning the
expcdiency of exercising comfy to-
wards n foreign Government by sur.
rendering, at its request, one of it,
own subjects charged with the, com
mission Of crime within its territory
and although it may be conceded thai
there is no national obligation to make
such surrender upon demand
therefore unless it is acknowledged by
treaty or by statute law, yet natior
is never bouud to furnish asylums tc
dangerous criminals who are offenders
against the human race; and it is be
levcd that if, in any case, the comfy
could with propricty be practiccd, Tho
one which is understood to have calico
forth the resolution of inquiry Of the
Senate furnished a just occasion fol-
its exercise. .,.....

Vote Of Ohio copperheods.

Nearly every Copperhead Represen-
tative from Ohio, voted against the re-
peal of the fugitive slave law. They
have placed themsclved upon the rec
ord in favor ofcontinuing this iniquity
They would pursue the black man,
with blood hounds, and whips, and
brutal overseers, and insolcnt officials,
and drag him back into slavery, after
20 900 of his race have enlisted to fight
the battles Of the country. They de-
liberately vote to return the black man
to slavery, while the blood sacrificed
at Fort Pillow still dampens the earth,
while the memory of his gallant con.
duct through the Vicksburg campaign
is still fresh in tho memory of the ma.
ton, and while his courage in carry
ing the first line of works before Pc.
tersburg is mentioned in every dis.
patch and his gallantry and heroism
declared by General Smith, to be wor.
thy the Old Guard of Napoleon.
These men vote to make the men o.
tho North, like the hounds of the
South, Slave.catchers for rebels. God
is furnishing the nation now for tolcr.
ating such men as tho Copperhead
Representatives of Ohio.

A BUSINESS despatch received here
this morning, addressed to Geo. A.
Mithotf, says that gold has gone up to
two dollars and twenty-five cents
Why is it that Lincoln's legal tcnder
dollar has deprecated one dollar and
twenty cents below roal money.
The above is the leader in the last
weeks Eagle. One reason for the de.
probation may be that every Copper
head paper like the Eagle is doing its
utmost to depreciato "Iincoln's legal
tender dollar" If the currency doesn't
doprcciate it will be no fault of yo urf
You will do your best to cry it down
Another cause is that a very large
number, many thousands, tf Copper
heads have grown suddenly rich by
specializing upon the misfortunos of the
country, and are indulging in foreign
luxuries, thing they never enjoyed
before. This sends tho gold out of the
country, and of course, increases its
value.
Tho Immediate cause, however, Of
the sudden rise in gold was tho gold
Bill. Contractors, under tho opera
tion Of the law, wero required to hand
over the gold, which created great
demand.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND
SLAVERY.

1t was n custom among an ancient
people TO punish certain criminals by
binding them face to face with corpse
and leaving them TO die. 1t seems that
Providence is furnishing the Democra-
tic party by binding it to the corpse of
slavery and leaving it in that condition
to perish. Tho love of this party for
slavery, and the monstrous tenderness
with which it caresses and clings to
it, can be compared to nothing but
the love of mother for o deformed
and unnatural child.
On tho proposition to amend the
Constitution by abolishing slavery, or
rather on the proposition to submit
tho question to tho people, all tho De.
mocratic members Of tho House, on
cept four, voted No.
On the proposition to repeal the Flu.

Thus tho Democratic party, agains,

ago, against the current of events
cliRgs to the institution which caused
tho rebellion, and which has required
for its washing out, rivers of tho best
blood Of the nation.
The Democratic party is committed
to the defence of slavery, 1t is carry

tho child, which is tho rebellion, anc
the load is too great. IL il a part,

say now, however, that l approve the
declaration in favor of so amending
the Constitution as to prohibit slavery
throughout the nation. When the pee
pie in revolt, with the hundted days
explicit notice that they could withiti
those days resume their allegiance
without the overthrow of their institu-
ton, and that they could not resume
it afterward, elected to stand out, such
an amendment to the Constitution as

A DECLARATION OF INDEPEND-
ENCE.
The Unsnlmous Declaration of The Pso-
ple OF this County against the Copper
head Party.

When 10 the course Of local gov

people to dissolve the political bands
which bind thom to one party, and to
transfer their support to another, n
decent respect for the opinions of men
requires that they should declare tho
causes which impcl them to the scpa
ration.
When long train Of abuses and
outrages, pursuing invariably the samc
object, evinces design on the part of
tho ruling party to deceive and rob the
people, then it is their right, it is their
duty to throw off such party, and to
choose other rulers for their future SO
curity. Such has been tho patient
suffering of tho people Of this county,
and such is now the necessity which
constrains thom TO transfer their sup
port from tho so.callcd Democratic
party to that association ofiaithful and

ization. Tho history Of the Copper
head party in this county, is history
Of repeated abuses and outrNges, all
having in diroct object tho decoiving
and robbing the people, and the estab,

Of that monstrous tyranny known as
the Southern Con&deracy. To prove
this, lot facts bo submitted to n candid

THY are responsible for the murder

This they have led to by their or
gan, the Ohi9 Eagle, and their speak
ers on the stump, advising Democrats
to arm, and inhaming their passions
against the Union cause and the gal
liant men who arc engaged in uphold,
ing it.
They have shielded the culprit by
jury of their political friends indict-
ing him for murder in the second de-
gree, by releasing him on bail, and by
continuing the case from term to term
of the Court.
They have prosecuted numbers OF
respectable Union men Of the county
by indicting them for imaginary Of
fences, some of the persons not being
present at the place where the offence
is said to have been committed, thus
putting the county to heavy expense
for the prosecution of innocent per.
sons.
They have taxed the people of Ian.
caster four hundred dollars TO pay q
claim brought against tho city by the
proprietor of the Ohio Eagle, for injury
done to his Office by several infuriated
soldiers, when the actual damage done
could not have reached the sum O
; twenty dollars. This claim they have
paid without any authority Of law fol
so doing.
They have defed tho law of The
State and disregarded the will of tho
people by appointing Assessors for thC
city, and refusing to wait for election
returns from tho army, thus displac.
ing officers legally chosen by the peo
pie.
They have, through tho County

for assault and battery, a punishment
unusually severe and cvidcncing ex
