The Fugitive Slave Lnw-.Tlic South to be
' nui tie UcNponHible for its Repeal.
The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Ex
press, under date of 1st inet. says :—
The lirst movement in Congress, of n grave orsc-
rious character, will be a descent upon the Fugitive
.Slave Hill, it is useless to disguise the fact, and what
is more, the propaganda, acting through their
lenders in both houses, will stand aloof, and refuse
to succor the Northern friends of the!measure.—
Exasperated by the loss of Georgia, prostrated by
the loss of Tennessee, and farther embittered ,in
their defeat by the stern patriotism of a groat portion
of the people of Mississippi, they will seek any pre
text to efleet secession. even to voting with the Se-
wnrdites for the repeal of the law. Tacit consent is
equivalent to u vote,and the Mississlppian has declared
In advance, backed by the disuniunists here, that the
worshippers at the shrine of South Carolina Treason
will not nositato to observe such neutrality. If they
do, well knowing there is a powerful Union party in
botli branches—a majority of the North attracted by
motives higher than demagogism—upon them lie
the responsibility of what ensues ; FOR WITHOUT
THEIR AID, I DOUBT WHETHER THF. ACT CAN
HE MAINTAINED.
The majority will never lend its vote to a section
which scorns tho proffer of fraternity, and prefers to
welcome the embraces of a class which essays
hourly to terminate our history in u monument oi
ruins.
It will be seen tbat wbile the writer admits there
will be an attack upon tho Slave Bill, he endeavors,in
advance, to make the South responsible for its re
peal. “The MAJORITY WILL NEVER LEND ITS
VOTE TO THE SOUTH WHILE IT SCORNS
THE PROFFERED FRATERNITY.” How signifi
cant.
Washington, Dec. 1.—Cabinet in Session—
Genxbal Quitman.—While I write the Cabinet is
in Session, and it is said, (not rumor merely) tbat the
subject of its deliberations is no less a personage than
his Excellency, Governor General Quitman. The
atory goes, that the District Judge Of Louisiana, be
fore whom the Buit against the General is brought,
has made application to the President for ad'-ic* and
the opinion is advanced—I do not avow it—that tho
Cabinet will decide to grant tbeCourtthe Corpora's
guard asked for, in the event it be needed to induce
the General’s attendance in New-Orleans.
The Spanish Minister, De La Barca, has been ur
ging matters the past week quite strenuously ; and it
is ns much at his instance ns tho federal authorities
of Louisiana, that the requisition is made. De Ln
Barca is determined to push the suit to extremes;
he has sufheient testimony ready to support the accu
sations now pending niul will bring it out the mo
ment the Hotspur Disunionist can be captured and
arraigned for trial.
He therefore appeals to the President and demands
•ompliance with the treaty obligations of 1818; and
the Court backs him because it contends Quitmnn
has algo been guilty of high treason, in furnishing
arms to the enemies of the Republic Ac. Ac. Sic. 1
do not ask you to repose implicit faith in these state
ments, for ldo not; but It is manifest tbat De Barca
is cross about the affair, and Quitman is in a tight
place for an act that in some countries, would bring
his head to the block N. Y. Express

The Weathek.—For some weeks past, we have
hod remarkably mild weather. During thepast, few
days, it lias been very foggy, and the sky lias been
steadily overcast with clouds. In consequence ot the
fog, the Charleston boat, with the Northern mail duo
on Thursday night, did not arrive until one o’clock,
yesterday afternoon.
A case fob the Police.—On Thursday afternom
a lady, while walking in the street about sunset, was
assailed by a negro boy, who seized tho purse which
she held in her hand, and made several violent efl'orts
to wrest it from her. ln the struggle the villain pull
ed the lady to tho ground ond bruised and scratched
her fingers, around which tho purse was wrapped-
The screams of tho lady soon brought several per
sons to her assistance, who, however, did not reach-
the spot until her assailant had fled. The' desperate
rascal should be sought out and condignly punished
for his audacity.
We recently heard of another case in which a
young Miss, while returning from school, was as
saulted in the street by n black fellow, who detained
her tor some time, submitting her to annoyance and
indignities. The police should be on the lookout
for such fellows. When caught, they should bo
made examples of.
Florida Legislature.—The Legislature'of Flor
ida met at Tallahassee, on the 35th ult. The Gover
nor’s Message is stronger on the subject of Southern
Rights than was expected of him. Ho says “nothing
is surer than this government must eventually fur
nish a faithful reflection ofthe established opinion of
a popular majority, and this fact considered in con
nection with the manifestations of Northern senti
ment upou their obligations under the federal com
pact, justifles a serious : concern for the perpetuity 0|
the Union. The repeal or essential modification of
the law for the recovery of fugitive slaves, will in my
judgment, ho tantamount to a formal record and
notification of the unwillingness of our Northern
brethren longer to abide by the Constitution ofthe
United States."
-“'i Governor asks from the Legislature authority
to call a convention of the people of the State, “iu
the event of a repeal ofthe Fugitive Slave Bill, or the
consummation of any other aggressive measure."
Proclamation of the President of the
State of San Salvador The President of San
Salvador has thought it necessary to publish a proc
lamation to the people of that State, to tho States ot
Central America, and the other nations, in defence of
its position in refusing to yield to the British Consul,
Mr. Chutfield, tho right he assumes of forcing upon
itono of his functionaries, and of snatching from the
power of the State one of its subjects, by clothing
him with official dignity. The proclamation is as fol
lows:
States of Central America—The People of San Sal
vador !—You see the position of this government,the
systematic aggressions of His Honor, the Consul,co c-
bined with the ever hostile power of Gauteraala, to
wage an unjust war founded on vain pretences,
against the State which hns now placed itself at the
head of the Central American Union, the object of
their odium and common aversions. Our cause and
our stand ara unfounded upon the honor and the
rights of tho various nations of America. You
see, then, tho necessity ot defending your territory,
your existence, the liberty of yourselves and your
children. *
These 1 will defend at the cost of my life, in spite of
the accustomed arrogance of His Honor the Consul.'
1 have more than oncp given proofs of a prudent and
conciliatory spirit, by taking all the steps I have
tfihught proper to the obtaining of an honorable, rea
sonable and equitable arrangement; the only result,
however, has been to bring upon San Salvador new
outrages, new oppressions and new aggressions. The
time has come when we muBt show to the world the
situation in which we find ourselves; we are to learn
if the efforts that have been made by us, and by this
great and heroic people, are to prove vain and fruit
less ; we are to leikn whether independence be a pos
sible truth, or an intangible illusion; if, in fine, the
couso'ina hope of seeing a common country rise for
ward and glorious by the efforts of her children, has
vanished before the blasting breath of internal fuc-
tia:" allied to foreign hate. But I feel confident, every
Salvadorian, who loves truly Central America, must
feel his heart throb with indignation at the sight of
the outrages made upon hU country.
People of Central Americal I have thought it a part
ol my duty to make you aware of the line of con
duct followed by the Consulate of Great Britain, in its
intercourse with us; this conduct could not, consist
ently with our dignity,be met with more freedom and
reserve, i shall he happy, if it meets with your pru
deuce and approbation.

Louisville, Nov. 30.—A Terrible? Tornado—
Seventy or Eighty Houses Blown to Pieces—
A Great Number op Lives Lost.—One ofthe most
appaling and destructive tornadoes which has been
experienced in the Mississippi valloy for several years
occcurred about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
It swept over the town of Cape Girardeau, Mo.,
situated on the Mississippi river, just below St. Louis
and demolished some seventy or eighty buildings,
many of them the finest and principal business houses
in the place.
The Baptist and catholic churches, and tho Catholic
convent ware destroyed.
Two of the large and splendid telegraph masts
belonging to the St. Louis and New-Orleans telegraph
company, were cracked, shivered and brought to the
ground with as much ease as though they liad been
pipe stems.
The steam boat Saranac,, No. 2. which had just
rounded to at the wharf, had her upper works com-
vu off, and several persons on her were
nred, and some, it is probable, were
wharf boat was likewise blown from her
moorings, and almost irreparably injured.
In order that you may judge of the tremendous vi
o)euce ofthe storm, I will state that a cow was uncer
cmoniously lifted off her feet on terra firms, and de
posited in the top of a tree, sixty feet from the
ground.
^M'ho loss of life by this awful visitation cannot as
yet he ascertained, but it is certainly very great; as
numbers are doubtless buried beneath the rnius of
fallen buildings. There are also a great many per
sons who are sdiioualy injured, and some of them
are so crippled and maimed that they will never re
cover from the effects.
The town is literally torn in pieces, and looks truly
wobegone. Many citizens who wore this morning to
he seen with light hearts and Smiliug faces, are to
night wrapped either in the arms of death, or else are
weeping ior their friends who have been thus untime
ly swept away.

The Nicaragua Affair.
On our first page to-day, will be found an interest
ing article on the subject of British encroachment on
the territories cf Central America. This matter is
attracting considerable attention at this time in ofH.
cial quarters, and it is expected that the Conduct of
the English Government in reference to the Mosquito
teritory, will he brought before Congress at pt early
day. It was perhaps in view of the contingences
which might arise in this connection, that President
Fillmoke expressed himself so explicitly in regard
to international policy. From the tone of his mes
sage, we infer that he is not inclined to interpose tor
the protection of the Nicaragua Government. Iu his
nllusion to the treaty, it will be recollected that he re
commends the adoption of "peaceful measures” for
the purpose of "harmonizing conflicting claims to ter
ritory in that quarter."
Commenting upon this matter, the Philadelphia
Bulletin says :—
When the Nicaragua treaty was negotiated, by
Messrs. Clayton and 'Bulwer.it was on the supposi
tion that England did not wish to appropriate terri
tory in Guatemala, and thnt al! ahe required was a
guarantee that tile United States would exercise
equal forbearance. It was on this basis that the
treaty was signed. But now, Great Britain, instead
of evacuating the Mosquito territory, exhibits une
quivocal evidence ofholding it permanently, and is
building, at Greytown, public stores and offices on a
quite extended Beale. As if to render her intentions
unequivocal, Chatfield, the agent, in his late corres
pondence with the Nicaraguan Minister of Foreign
Affairs, does not hesitate to assert thnt. by tile Clay
ton and Bulwer treaty, the Mosquito kingdom is ac
knowledged, and consequently the British presence
at Greytown ondorsed. Thus there can be little
doubt that England intends to hoid that post, by
which all communication across tile peninsular be
comes practically impossible, unless with her con
sent.
The persistance of Great Bitain in retaining pos
session of Georgetown is, however, in direct viola
tion ol the treaty. Sofar from the United Spates ac
knowledging the Mosquito Kingdom, in the sense as
serted by Mr. Chatfield,it was emphatically stipulated
that neither England nor this country should fortify
cither Costa Rica.Nicaragua, the Mosquito Const, nor
any other part of Central America. Nor was this all
As if not to leave a loop-hole for evasion it was also
specifically covenanted that neither power should
exercise or assume any domination over either ot
those territories. The language is plain and un
equivocal. Not a peg is left in the treaty to hang au
evasion upon.
The United States is fully prepared to carry out
In good faith, the stipulations of the contract; but
Mr. Chatfield mistakes our national character if he
supposes we will submit to he juggled in this matter.
The people of this country want no territory in Cen
tral America. But they will not allow Great Britain
to obtain a footing there. On this point we believe
North and South, East and West, to he unanimous.
Much less will they submit to be cheated, in the
way Mr. Chatfield proposes. If the British govern,
ment does not disavow the proceedings of its agent
there wilt be trouble, as the temper of Congress” on
its reassembling, will show. The time has passed
by whon the United States call he trifled with.
Thissubject assumes the more importance because
by advices from San Juan to the 2d of November, the
practicability of constructing the ship canal no long
er admits of a doubt. An excellent route has been sur
veyed from the lake to the Pacific, by which the
western canal will be only twelve miles long. Any
rttempt to build the canal will be useless, however it'
England is allowed to establish a fortified post on the
Mosquito coast, and thus hold the key to thisgreat
commercial enterprise.
This subject may possibly be turned to amount,
this winter, by the politicians who may desire to
divert tho public mind Irom the domestic strifes in
which the country is engaged. Whatever comes of
it, President Fillmore does not seem disposed to
bluster about it, hut indicates in his message, ado-
sire to settle those points left unarranged by Mr.
Clayton, by a supplementary treaty. This, how-
ever, may be difficult to accomplish, os John Bull
is not in the habit ot quietly relinquishing advantages
gained by diplomacy.
The City of Venice—Venice is a Inhvrintli —
There is no city like it in al] the world. iFalwnys
wusan unintelligible place, and itis still unintelligible
It contains a population of 115.000 inhabitants, located
In 27,918 houses. Thero are 112 religious establish
ments, though at one period thero were no less than
228. Of bridges chiefly of marble, there are 30G, nnd
small communicating streets no less than 2,108. The
city is seven miles in circumference. The grand ca
nal is nearly 302 feet wide ; other canals are wide
enough, but the widest street is not more than 10 or
12 feet Irom house to house, and the majority
do not exceed 8. Horses are unknown, and the larg
est auitmtl to be seen is udog. The foundation of the
city commenced in 402, when the Venitinns fled to tho
Lagunes, before the invading army of Alnric.llicGoth.
1 lie city is built upon 72 small islands, with pile and
stone foundations for the buildings. The church of
“Santa Maria do ln Salute” was constructed in 1531.
is a monument of thanksgiving for the cessation ora
great pestilence, and rests upon one million two
hundred thousand piles. This church contains 125
statutes.
Itis said, that in Venice there are thousands who
never saw a hill, or a wood, or an ear of corn
growing, or a vineyard, or a green field, or even a
horse and carriage. The canals are traversed by
gondolas, a species of canoe, tvvelity-five feet long,
with a little cabin in the centre, sufficiently spacious
for the accommodation of from 5 to 10 persons —
These gondolas and their furniture nnd equipments
areall black, and when they move upon the water,
they have the appearance of floating hearses. The
black cloth which is thrown over the cabin top is
rringed with tassels, and exectly resemble) a funeral
path—Cor. If. l r . C-immercial 'Advert iser.
Movements in New Orleans.—We gave an ac
count yesterday, ofthe proceedings of a great Union
meeting held in New Orleans An the 27th ult. We
see by the papers that amass meeting was to take
place in that city, on Saturday eveniuglast, "ofthe
Democracy nnd of all citizens, friendly to the main
tenance ofthe Constitutional Rights ofthe South."-—
In alluding to the call for this meeting, the Delta, an
able advocate of Southern Rights principles, sayo :—
The object of this meeting, we understand, is to af
ford those who could not acquiesce in the St. Charles
Resolutions, to lay down their platform. We trust
in doing so, they will exhibit a more catholic spirit
than the committee of the St. Charles meotiug. Wo
commend to the consideration of thoso who may bn
entrusted with drafting theresolutions, tho platform
which we recommended to the St. Ohnrlos meeting,
and which has carried everything before it iu Geor-
gia.
The platform recommended by the editor, was
thnt portion of the “Union and Southern Rights'
platform of Chatham, which reads as follows :
“That if Congress shall uudertnke to legislate aggres
sively upon our rights, by the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia, or tho interdiction of the
slave trade between the States,or the enactment of the
Wilmot proviso, or the repeal ofthe Fugitive slave
law—the people of Georgia will not submit, but wili
with united voice resist, though that resistance Bhould
create a dissolution of tho Union."
On tills platform, says tho editor, we are willing to
stand,—all our citizens were willing to stand, hut it
did not suit the designs of tliise who wished to turn
the Union meeting to party purposes. 1 Vc were com
pelled to declare that we approve the Compromise ere we
could get admission into the Union temple.
sir- We hnvo been informed that some ofthe
Peach trees in the neighborhood ofthe city, are put
ting forth blossoms. They must have mistaken the
mild weather for the return of spring.
SHIPWRECK.-The brig Alabama, Capt. Westfeldt
Irom New York, with an assorted cargo for Mobile,
went ashore at Mobile Point, during the heavy gale
on Wednesday night. The vessel has bilged and is

damaged state, has been saved.
The SurnEME Court.—Tho Supreme Court of
the United States met oil Monday, in their room at
the capital, at Washington. Justices McKinley,
Wayne, Nelson, and Woodbury, were present,
Asikrican Claims on Portugal.—A Lisbon cor
respondent of the London Times states that Mr.
Clay waa, according to last accounts, at Paris, en-
route for Lisbon, to liquidate a number of American
cluims recognised by tho Portuguese government
lust July, and to make arrangements for the arbitra
tion of the French government iu the case of the
General Armstrong.
New Orleans, Nov. 30.—A hill hns passed the
Mississippi Legislature appointing next November ns

Delegates to he chosen next September.
The Anti Compromise Meeting is to ho held here
