Relations with New Granada.
The late terrible riots at Panama, in which the
1 persons and property of American travellers were
brutally outraged bv a native mob, with the direct
; aid of the local police, and the total abstinence
of Government interference for the preservation
I of life and the restoration of order, make it im
portant to understand what are our public relations
with the Government of that country. Have wo
treaties with New Granada; and do those treaties
‘ provide at all for an emergency like this?
The statute book contains two treaties between
the United States and New Granada: one a mere
postal convention, dated in March, 1544- the oth
j era general treaty of “Peace, Amity, Navigation
and Commerce,” dated December i-j 1846 but
ratified in 1848.
The postal convention regulates the mode of
! earning and delivery of the mail bags across the
Isthmus of 1 anama, the rate of compensation to
the New Granadian officer, and the interchange of
j services between the two Governments, their pub
lic agents and officers, as the facilities to be aflord
,ed by each to the other. The convention was to
be in force for eight years from the date of the
ratification, and for four years more, unless six
months notice is given either party not to renew :
; and so on, for four years, again and again, until
j the notice is given.
Ihe general treaty of peace, amity and com
merce was negotiated by Mr. Biddaek, our Charge
at Bogota, in 1846. It is one of the most complete
and thoroughly liberal of our commercial treaties;
: embodying principles of the most perfect neutrali
-1 fy, and almost amounting to absolute free trade
between the two nations, and a community of in
terests as against all others. Whether its political
provisions are altogether so wise and commenda
ble, is another question.
Among the special provisions which mav be
quoted, as having relation to the present troubles,
is that in the thirteenth section, by which the two
contracting parties “promise and engage formally
u> give their special protection to the persons and
property of the citizens of each other, of all occu
pations, who may be in the country, subject to the
| jurisdiction of one or the other;” and providing
j for their equality of rights before all the judicial tri
! bunals in both countries.
j The thirty-fifth article of the treaty is, however,
| the most important, as it defines, lit length and
minutely, the relations of the two Governments
j on the Isthmus of Panama—-the right of transit
j and the conditions, and the manner of prosecuting
' claims for redress in case of injury.
The article has six sections :
By the first, the citizens of the United States,
tlieir vessels and merchandise, are placed on the
same footing with those of New Granada, in the
ports of Panama, from its southern boundary to j
the Costa Rica line, which equality is to extend to
passengers, correspondence and merchandise, in
passage across the Isthmus. This unlimited right j
of transit is guaranteed upon any modes of com
munication that exist, or may be’ constructed ; to
be open and free to the Government and citizens !
of the United States for the transportation of all
articles of commerce, with no other tolls or
charges than are required of citizens of New
Granada.
This section contains two important stipulations j
by the United Slates : the one is an absolute guar
antee of the perfect neutrality of the isthmus:
and for the other, and, as a consequence thereof,
“the l nited States also guarantee, in the same
manner, the rights of sovereignty and property
which New Grenada has and posseses over the same j
territory.”
By the second and third sections, the treaty is to
continue in force for twenty years from the ex
change of ratifications, and until twelve months'
notice are given by one of tlie parties of its inten
tion to withdraw.
The fourth and fifth sections are those which |
prescribe the course to be pursued in such a case
as these Panama riots. We transcribe them :
Sec. 4. It' am- one or more of the citizens of ei
ther party shall infringe any of the articles of this
treaty, such citizens shall be held personally re
sponsible for the same, and the harmony and good
correspondence between the nations shall not
he interrupted thereby ; each party engaging in !
no way to protect the offender, or sanction such
violation.
Sr**. 5. If, unfortunately, any of the articles con
tained in this treaty should be violated or infring
ed in any wav whatever, it is expressly stipulated
that neither of the two contracting parties shall j
ordain or authorize any acts of reprisal, nor shall j
declare war against the other on complaints of in- i
juries or damages, until the said party, consider
ing itself offended, shall have laid before the oth- !
or a statement of such injuries and damages, veri
fied by competent proof, demanduig justice and
satisfaction, and the same shall have been denied
in violation of the laws and of international
rights.
These obligations are now in force, and w ill re
main so, at least until March, We have
bound ourselves to guarantee to New Grenada her
sovereignty over the Isthmus of Panama, and
neither to make war, rr order reprisals, on coin- j
plaints of violations of the treaty or injuries to
Americans, until afler appliention to the Govern
ment of New- Granada, with proof of the injury or
damage, and demand of redress.
This makes the affair at. Panama a subject for
negotiation between the two Governments, and
binds us to refrain from any step, in the nature
of redress, until the result of that application is
definitely ascertained.
There is no reason to doubt the good disposition
of the Central Government of New Granada, nor,
in the main, the disposition of the State authori
ties of Panama. The New Granada Government
is, we believe, the most enlightened of all the ;
South American Governments of Spanish origin,
and well disposed to be in amicable relations with ■
the United States, li has shown it in the libcruli
ity of its commercial treaties, and more especially i
by its liberality in the grant of ibis unlimited right *
of transit, without reserving to itself any privilege *
of taxing or raising revenue therefrom. We do j
not doubt the willingness of the New Granada j
Government to make what reparation may be j
found due for any actual and approved wrongs; j
but it is a very poor Government, and it has, about ; *
Panama, a very worthless, ignorant, intractable I
and deini-savage population, composed in great j
part of Jamaica negroes, who are lazy, insolent !
and thievish. It is difficult to understand how the !
Granada Government can maintain, at its own cost, ;
a police establishment at Panama sufficient to re- t
strain that vagrant and impudent population, and |
to keep the peace between them and the mixed
crowds of passengers, of all countries, that throng j
along Ihe Isthmus and congregate at Panama, |
waiting for the American steamers. The treaty j
stands in our wav to prevent any prompt measures j
of redress to be taken by ourselves at once for the
outrages already committed, other than by upph- |
tion to the Government at Bogota ; but the neces- j
site of some measures for precaution and protec- j
tion hereafter is not the less evident and urgent. |
This must be afforded by our own Government, if j
it cannot he afforded by the New Granada authori- |
ties; and this necessity is a fit defence for theem- i
ployment of the power of the United States--to I
secure, beyond any contingency or interruption, a i
peaceable transit for the present, and for such no- j
gotiations with New Granada as will fix the terms j
and conditions of the permanent guardianship of j
route hereafter.

Torture in India.
The darkest pages of the secret records of the j
Inquisition can contain nothing more truly appall
ing than the revelations which have been recently
made in the British House of Eords, relative to
the system of torture used to enforce payment of !
the revenue from the natives of British India by i
the officials of the East India Company. It was J
hoped and generally believed that this atrocious j
practice, derived from the former barbarous admin- j
istrations of the Indian Provinces, had been abol- ;
ished, and that a milder and more humane form
of government had been introduced and parried
out by the civilized Christian conquerors'of the
country. It was believed that the cruelties so
graphically described and eloquently denounced
by tho famous Edmund Burke on the trial of War
ren Hastings, had ceased to exist, and that as the
English Empire in India became more stable and
confirmed, every vestige of the ancient barbarity
of the Mohamedan rule was fast disappearing.
This belief has been most painfully and rudely
dispelled by the recent disclosure of the Earl of
Albemarle, the perfect and undeniable truth of
which the Duke of Argyll, speaking in the name
of the British Government, was obliged to admit !
and to deplore. It appears that Mr. Danby Sey
mour, M. P., when lately travelling in India, uiid !
finding to his horror and dismay that torture was *
j continuailv restored to by the East India Compa- \
I nv’s officials in collecting the Government taxes,
: advised some of the inhabitants of the Presidency
■ of Madras, to bring the facts before the Imperial
| Parliament, and to pray legislative interference to
cause this practice to be abolished. In compliance
with this advice, a petition was prepared and sub
mitted to the British Legislature, and in conse
quence, a commission was appointed to investigate
the matter, and repert the result of their labors.
This report, and another petition from some of the
inhabitants of Madras, have been presented to the
j House of Lords by the Earl of Albemarle, who ob
served that “they do not at all convey an adequate
j idea of the amount of suffering endured by the
: inhabitants of that Presidency." .
During the three months that the Commission
ers spent in prosecuting their inquiry—which they
j state to be incomplete, since it would take two
years to investigate all the complaints-—they
, found that the Police and the Tax Collectors were
in theconstant habit ofinflicting severvul varieties
j of physical torment for tlie purpose of extorting
money from the defaulting tax payers, as appears
j from these extracts from the Report.
! _ Deprivation of food and water; hindering aman
t from sleeping; hanging a necklace of bones or
- j otliei disgusting materials round the neck (a pun
a : ishment peculiarly offensive to a Hindo *; compell
j * U S? a man to sit ou his heels, with brickbats or
| sharp stones under his hams; striking the heads
of two defaulters against each other; tying two
persons together in a stooping posture by the
hair ot their heads; tying a man in a stooping
posture to the wheel ofa cart; tying a inanity the
: hair of his head to the tail of an ass and parading
him through the public market; forcing a man im
I to a stooping posture with another man on his
1 back; binding a man to one tree and hoisting his
leg by a rope attached to another: suspending a
nian by his heels to the bough of a tree ; suspend
! > n g him by the wrist and scourging him while in
; the air. ( There was an instance of a woman who
■ had died under the infliction of this torture. > Tv
j ing to a tree with a tire underneath, in order in
produce partial suffocation; forcing a man to
i whirl his head in a peculiar manner with his hair
j dishevelled, sitting in the sun, the process being
assisted by scourging (called in the native collec
tor s office “extracting the devil;”) suspending a
man by his arms tied behind his back ; plunging
into wells and rivers until the victim was half or
i sometimes wholly drowned; placing the carpenter
i beetle or other gnawing insect or some stinging
reptile, confined within a cocoa nut shell, on the
the navel or still more sensitive part of the body,
j causing great torment; cudgelling with blud
j K eons with such seventy as to produce dislocation;
placing the muzzle of a musket on the great toe
and forcing the party to continue with it for hours
in the burning sun; placing a stick across the chest
: with a man seated at each end of it, so as to pro
i duce partial suffocation, the torture being in some
: cases until the tongue protruded from
the mouth ; binding a limb by twisting a rough
rope round it, so as to impede the circulation, the
intensity of the tortue being increased by the ap
i plication of a composition of red pepper, salt and
mustard. This torture the Court of Directors had
j themselves described in their letters written in
the year 1801. Another punishment was the
stocks the victim was placed on his back with
; his heels in the air, his face exposed to the sun
■ by day, and the damp and cold by night. Then
I there was lifting up by and tearing out the mous
| tachios—not only a very painful torture, but a great
indignity into the bargain ; placing the victim on
a nest of red ants, also a very painful torture;
squeezing the crossed fingers; pinching the fin
i gers between a cleft bamboo; torture by the kittee,
an instrument by which lingers were gradually
bent back until the pain was unbearable; pinch
ing the inside of the thighs; nipping the flesh
with wooden or iron pincers ; pounding the joints
with mallets of soft wood; flagellation with every !
kind of scourge in every part of the human body, i
and with such severity as occasionally to cause ;
death (at page 80 would be found the case men
tioned by Mr. Lushington ofa man flogged to ileath
for non-payment of taxes); tying rags round the
lingers and setting lire to them ; burning various
parts of the body with a lighted cherot, heated
packing needles and searing-irons ; wrapping the
body m cotton steeped in oil and setting fire to it;
driving thorns under the nails; filling the nos
trils, eyes and other parts of the body with cav
onue pepper; applying the bamboo pincers to wo
men’s breasts.
In short, it would seem impossible for ingenuity
to devise a means of causing the most intense
and most exerutiating agony, which lias not been
employed by the Collectors’of the Indian Revenue.
The reading of this terrible catalogue of fiend
ish cruelties, excited, as may easily be supposed,
a thrill of horror and indignation from the Deers
to whom it was addressed, and resolutions were
proposed and unanimously adopted, declaring,
“That by a report lately laid on tlie table, it is
proved to the entire conviction of the House that
torture, or the infliction of pain for the purpose of
confession or extortion, has long been practised, j
and still continues to be practised, by the native j
officers of Government in the realization of the
public revenues and the administration of criminal i
law, to a greater or less extent, throughout all the j
twenty provinces constituting the Government of;
Madras:
“That the aforesaid torture, although clantles- j
tine and unauthorized, has been for many years j
known and admitted by the constituted authori- j
ties at home and in India, as shown bv the public 1
records:
“That this House views tlie aforesaid practice of j
torture, affecting so many millions of Her Majes
tv’s subjects, whether as an instrument for the re- I
alization of the public revenues or the administra- !
tion ot criminal law, or for any other purpose I
whatsoever, as repugnant to natural justice, abhor- ;
rout to humanity, and highly disgraceful to the !
character of this nation :
“That this House hereby pledges itself to pur
sue the speediest and most effectual measures 1
within its power for the annihilation of the odious j
and barbarous practice of torture within the above
mentioned Government and presidency of Madras.” |
The East India Company seek to escape the in
dellible stigma of shame and disgrace which must !
attach to them for these foul crimes committed by i
their servants, by alleging that they have been
perpetrated without their knowledge, and in oppo- :
sition to their orders ; but it is impossible for any- j
body, who takes tho trouble to read the Report
and the evidence it contains from many men of !
high standing, long experience of India and of j
unblemished character, to acquit the civil govern- j
ment of India of all knowledge of the existence of !
these barbarous practices. The report drawn by |
the Hon. Walter Elliott, says that :
“Os two hundred and fifteen responses elicited, j
only seven express a disbelief in the experience of !
of the practice, seventeen give no positive opinion, j
while one hundred and ninety-seven, of whom one i
hundred and twelve are public officers, engaged in I
the civil administration, Ac., concur in stating the j
belief in the prevalence of the evil to a greater or j
less de-gree.’
Judge Cotton, of Masulipatam, says that “if the
civil servant were asked, ‘ Does torture exist ?’
from the highest to the lowest subordinate official,
the answer niiisl he in the affirmative.” It is pos
sible that the Indian authorities have not directly ■
connived at its employment: that they have not ,
expressly ordered it to be applied; but that they i
wi re in ignorance ot the fact, cannot be believed
for a moment, simply because such ignorance is 1
impossible. And even were this pretext ndmissi- i
bio, were it true that they did not know that their !
officials used torture to realize their revenue, this ;
ignorance, as the Marquis of Clanricarde forcibly
remarks, would he quite as disgraceful as to have !
known of it and to have permitted it to exist, j
Those who endeavor feebly to apologize for the j
East India Company, allege in mitigation, that i
these practices were derived from barbarous times, i
that they were not introduced hv British officers. (
and that the idea of torture has been so long con- i
nected with that of taxation, that, it would be iin- !
possible to induce the natives to abandon it. But j
the world will not accept this apology. It is in ;
reality an aggravation, rather than a palliation <n' ;
the crime. Within a little mure than a hundred ;
vears, Great Britain has conquered, by arms or
policy, almost the whole of India, justifying each |
successive acquisition of Territory, and the appu- ;
rent.lv lawless means by which if was effected, by j
giving a harrowing description of tin* misdeeds of
the native rulers, and extolling the boundless ad
vantages which its inhabitants would derive from j
a mild acquiescence of British rule, and the know - '
ledge anil experience of (Jhristian truth. This |
justification was accepted. It was believed that !
humanitv and justice had usurped the place of
cruelty and oppression, and that the condition of
the millions thus transferred to the protection of
British law, would he ameliorated ; that the Eng j
lish Government, in assuming dominion over this j
vast population, had also assumed the responsible j
1 duty of endeavoring to raise them front their low
I Iv condition, to elevate them to the standard of [
European civilization. But it was not believed !
that, after a century’s experience of British author- 1
ity, twenty-two millions of people could with per
fect truth complain that torture was inflicted upon ]
them by the officers of the Government, and peti
j tion the Legislature to shelter and protect them j
! front this abominable practice. It matters not
| that British hands do not scourge, scarify, burn,
j and apply venomous reptiles to the writhing
{ bodies of the native Indians; it matters not that
it is the Indians who torture each other; it is suf
ficient to know that these atrocities tire committed,
are of every day occurrence, and that Ihey are
committed by persons acting in the name and un
der the authority of the British Government.
No one will believe that British Ministers, or the !
British people, had any knowledge of, or conni- I
vance in, these fearful and revolting crimes. We |
are assured that they regard these revelations of
the state of things iti India, as a shame and a dis- !
grace to tlie British name, and that they will take
speedy and effective measures to cause this stigma
upon their honor, their civilization, their humanity
| as a great Christian nation, to be effaced.
While such practices exist unchecked and un
■ punished on British territory, English philanthro
j pists, who inveigh so loudly against the cruelties
| of American slavery, would do well to consider
whether it is not a more solemn duty, and one
| calling for their more immediate interference, to
| put a stop to the infliction of torture on a hundred
I millions of their fellow subjects, thau to seek to
j interfere with American slavery, which is rnild
| ness itself in comparison with the sufferings ot
the natives of British India, inflicted by avarice
and extortion. _____

j “We will neither support the platform nor the
1 ticket. Mr. Fillmore is entitled to no gratitude
j troin tke South, lie reluctantly signed the Fugi
tive Slave law, which was part of a bargain in
which the North got greatly the advantage, and
then he feebly executed it, which any open mouth
i ed Abolitionist would have been hound to do, oc
! cupving his position as Chief Magistrate, and
' sworn to execute the laws, lie stand's where Web
ster stood, and if we are not mistaken, that was in
j open o* position to the admission of any more slave
i States into the Union.”
! Equally emphatic is the Selma Sentira /, which is
| recognised by the American party as their leading
i organ in the State. It says:
i “We do say that Mr. Fillmore is not the man
for the South, or for any other section of this Gov
ernment. He is not the man for the South, be
; cause lie is in favor of a protective tariff, and en
! dorses the popular northern sentiment in its hos
tility to the Kansas and Nebraska territorial laws,
and threw the whole influence of the Government'
| while lie was President, against, all efforts to open
| new avenues for the extension of the institutions
of the South. He is not, the man for any other
section of the Government, because the manage
ment of our foreign relations during his entire
Administration, was characterised by a want of
proper judgment and discretion. Our entire for
eign relations were conducted in a loose, unguard
ed manner, and if continued a few years longer,
would have resulted m the degradation of the na
tion. Now, these are facts that cannot he denied,
all of which has led to turn the hack of our hand
to the re-election of Mr. Fillmore; he has been
tried very truly, as the ]timid says, and so far as
we believe, was found wanting in almost every es- j
scntial particular. We therefore tell our friend of
the Camden /tirald that we cannot support Mr.
Fillmore, and that the tacking on to him of Mr.
Donelson, with all his Tennessee grease, renders
him no more odoriferous to our olfactories.”
The Alabama ■Journal very properly character- !
i/.es those attacks as “even’more hitter in spirit
than the attacks of the Administration presses ”
and concludes (hat the battle “for Mr. Fillmore
musi he fought by his old friend#, if it is to he
fought at all, with any hope of success.”
It is very seldom that we ever have the pleasure
of agreeing with the Alabama Journal. We are
clearly of opinion in this instance Maj. Bates has
hit the nail on the head. It is absurd to suppose
that Democratic Know Nothings who opposed Fill
more’s administration from beginning to end as
weak, vacillating,and often unfriendly to the South,
can turn a violent summerset and go for him now
upon no other showing than his past record. But
alas! for his oil fionds. His America iiism has !
alienated many of the brightest and best of them.
If the gallant Major were not accustomed to lead a !
forlorn hope, we would expostulate with him upon
the fatuity of his Knight Errantry.
We would not bet five to one hundred that Fill
more will carry one single State. The issues raised j
by the American party belong to the past. The j
living issues all spring out of the slavery question. ;
The Deni ■vrury are on one side of the line, and
the Black Republicans on the other. Who ever
expects to do service to his country, must take part
in this battle. Bluclier is at Waterloo.

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.

I Jill IS article tvijf compare favora —■

in the known world.
I find that by putting it in the form 'HSMT'
of a Soap it gives it a decided advan jlKlSj
tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment, ®**S
or Ointment that can bi‘ made for the cure of dis
eases ln rciii enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article, there- j
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers,
Cuts, Flesh Wounds, King ami Tetter Worm, Files,
Krysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Hash, Sail
Rheum, Chilblain, Frickh Heat, Scurvv, Sore
['Ha s, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby i
preventing premature baldness, li is also one of I
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a j
superior dentrilice to the teeth. For'shaving soap, ;
it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and j
cm ing such sores as may be on the face. I
lu the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and I
particular old sort*, this soap has proved a balm j
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary , but believing that a single cake is only
requisite to prove its efficacy as above statist, and
wishing to avoid everything like Intmbuggerv, I
leave 11 to those who will give ii a fair trial, not
doubting they will then ace-lure this to be the nr
plot /lira of the age in the healing art.

BN\ 1!R Y family should at once procure a hot
J tie of the great Arabian remedy for man and
beast, called IL ti. PARRELI/S ARABIAN LINI
MENT. It allays the most inti 'use pains in a few
minutes, restores the synovial fluid or joint water,
and thus cures stiff joints; it penetrates the flesh
to tbi> bone, relaxes contracted cords, cures rheu
matism and palsied limbs of twentv years' stand
ing ; also, tumors, swelled neck, enlargement of
the glands, and is the best medicine for ailments
ot cattle ever discovered, curing sweeny, spavins,
splint, and all diseases which require an internal
application.
Eh it Pains of ten years' standing cured ly 11. G.
Farrell's Arabian Liniment.
Mr. 11. G. Farrell Dear Sir: 1 had been af
flicted with the “Sun Pain ” for the last ten years,
and could never get relief except by bleeding; but i
by the use of H. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment, i
applied over the temples about three or four times '
a day, it was entirely removed, and 1 have felt j
nothing of it since. 1 went into the stable one I
night, to apply it to a horse’s sore leg, and being j
very lame he stumbled and fell against mv tegs, 1
crushing and bruising them so badly that they I
turned black as my hat, rendering them powerless, j
I applied your Liniment, and was well enough in a |
few days to go about again as usual. I also crushed
my linger in a shocking manner, by letting a back
log fall upon it; your Liniment soon healed it up
though. ' JOHN B. M'UEK.
LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Go., 111,, Feb. if, 18-19.
j Esq. Marker, of New Canton, 111,, says ; j
Mr. 11 ti. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment has cured
some bad cases here, which every other remedy t
bad tailed in ; one was a white swelling and con- i
trailed cords in the leg of a boy twelve years old. ;
The leg bad w ithered away, and was so contracted j
that be bad no nee ot it. Three doctors had tried !
their skill upon it in vain, and he tea* fast sin kitty i
to the t/rare, when the boy’s father was induced to j
try H. <!. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Before the
first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store,
and the tirst words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, I
want all that Liniment you have in the store; the
one bottle 1 got did mv boy more good than all that
had ever been done before.” That boy is now well
and hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good
for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings.
Task out for Counterfeits '.
The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called I
W. IL Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
serous of all the counterfeits, because his having j
the name of Farrell, many will buy it m good
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error !
when the spurious mixture lias wrought its evil j
effects.
The genuine article is manufactured only by IT. |
