’ Toe bill originated in tho Senate, of which
Ja. Buchanan was a member. The Leghda-
tare of his own State had passed resolutions
strongly in favor of the measure, and which
sets intended to intlucncc him. lie refused
to sacrifice his clear sense of right to an un
uand Miitiuient at home, and accordingly
qijosfd and voted against the bill. (See
Senate Journal, Juno 25, 1841, giving the final
riMe. page 114.) _ . -V
Tie law went into operation in a very brief
time after its passago. All who aro familiar
r:th the history of those times well remember
tie excitement and general dissatisfaction
wtich it produced. Such was the Indignation
which it aroused iu tlie public mind, that Con*
gross was Hooded with petitions for its repeal;
awl Iht tinur Congress that passed it, was com-
|idlcJ, by force of pnblic sentiment, at its
next tension, to repeal it.
Mr. Fillmore was one of those few men who
acre unwilling to yield to public sentiment,
lie was determined if possible to keep the
c natty iu agitation aud perpetuate the iujury.
Be no doubt thought it would suit the stock
jobbers aud trading classes of Buffalo that he
represented.
A bill was introduced into the House the
W ind session of the 27tii Congress, for ijs
repeal. That bill passed, upon tlie final read-
i«g. by the decisive vote of 140 to 71—the
«tire Tennessee delegation, including Win.
B.Campbell, Meredith P. Gentry, and Kobt.
L- Caruthcn, voting in the affirmative, except
Milton llrowu aud Christopher II. Williams.
Millard Fillmore voted NAY! (Sec appendix
to Cong. Globe, 2d ses., 27th Congress, p.
kb.) Having passed the House, it went to
the Senate, where Mr. Buchanan, upon its
l*Ui«gc, notwithstanding numerous petitions
Iran ins own State against its repeal, voted
YEA!
Without comment, we leave tho reader to

Sin of Pardoning Negro Thieves.
M ho in Alabama or elsewhere in the South,
would dare to defend Messrs. Strickland and
Upson ! W hat would be done to a person that
would urge them as suitable candidates for even
tho^lowest office in Alabama? A wretch ex
hibiting that degree of hardihood, we believe,
would be hurried from the hustings to a tree
or to a Penitentiary, with scarcely any cere
moiiy.
M hv then, we ask in all scrionsncss, will
(in' South permit Know nothing papers and
speakers to press Millard Fillmore upon her
support for the highest oflice ? Shall we make
fish of one aud fowl of tho other ? It is true
that lie lias not come among us and circulated
incendiary publications, butlic did release from
prison, when they ought to have there rotted
and turned loose two notorious Abolitionists
proven guilty of stealing seventy-six slaves.
These rascals went immediately to the North
and engaged in a dire warfare against our in
stitutions, anil are doubtless to-day “shrieking
for freedom and Fremont.” The pardon, too,
was not effected at the instance of Southern
men, but at the urgent repeated solicitation of
such Abolitionists us Ilale, Seward, Sumner &
Co. It was withheld, also, till after the meet
ing of the Whig Convention in 1852, and not
granted till Scott was preferred to him for the
Presidency, aud he had no favors to ask of
the South. Southern slaveholders, remember
the insult and outrage, and answer it to your
consciences, if you can permit party prejudice
or personal friendship fo control the dictates of
duty, interest and self-preservation, and in
fluence you to support the plotter against
southern institutions. We are honest and
earnest about this appeal. What wc are talk
ing about is history undenied mid undeniable,
incontrovertible fact. Believing thnt you arc
ready at all times to rebuke those who inter
meddle with your affairs, or aid and abet such
intermeddling, wc bring the fact of Mr. Fill
more’s pardon of Dayton and Sayres before
you. Yiew this unpardonable mid totally
unjustifiable act of Millard Fillmore calmly
and seriously, not as partiznns, but as south
ern men, who have billions of dollars of slave
property at stake, and we cannot believe that
you will prove false to tho instincts of your
southern nnturc. If you were so prompt to
run oft’ Messrs. Strickland and Upson, because
they had in possession certain incendiary books,
and would strike down without ceremony any
one who had the temerity to defend them, why
so much forbearance towards those soliciting
your suffrages for Fillmore, who by the par
don referred to, struck a more fatal blow at
slavery? With tliis euormity presented be
fore you, how can you endure the insults heap
ed upon the South by an appeal in behalf of
Fillmore ? Are you so debased and craven as
to prostitute tlie inestimable right of suffrage
by aiding in his clectiou ? What! vote for
Millard Fillmore, with that damning act star
ing you in the face! Never, never!

PUISONMENT FOR DEIST.
From the Congressional Globe, vd. 11, p
(550, second sessiou of tho 27th Congress wc
copy tho following:
•Mr. White of Louisiana, expressed his
thanks to the Speaker for awarding to him
tho floor, and thereby giving him tlie privilege
of making a motion important to civil liberty
and the rights of man; which, he said,
daily compromittcd, outraged and trampled
under foot in tliis city (Washington) by t!
manner of making arrests in eases of debt. It
was the practice here to hold citizens to bail
or, in default thereof, to imprison them, with
out any evidence of the debt whatever, other
than tiie mere allegation of the plaintiff. As
an explanation of the gcncrol practice, ho
referred to a particular case—that of a gcntlo-
rnau from Lonisiaaa, one of his constituents,
who, coming here on important business with
Congress, had keen sued in the coifrt here,
and required to give bail in the sum of §fl,000,
for which ho is now in duress of his liberty—a
prisoner in the custody of the Marshal. Here
was tho case of a stranger in the city, brought
here on important business with Congress
thrown into close jail, without any evidence
of debt, other than the absured remnants of
barbarism contained in the declaration of the
plnintifi, which contained nothing but fiction
rom beginning to end, and nothing by which
the defendant could know what he is sued for
There was not even the affidavit of the plain
tiff, showing his belief in the justice of the
claim. Mr. W. read the writ by which the
gentleman was imprisoned, and the declara
tion filed by the plaintiff’s lawyer, the absur
dities of which occasioned great laughter in
the House.
To remedy the evil complained of, Mr. W.
begged leave to introduce a bill to regulate
mesne process in Washington comity in the
District of Columbia. This bill provides that
hereafter no person shall be imprisoned or
held to bail in this county, unless there be an
affulavit of the plaintiff or his agent, proving
the justice of the debt. The 2nd secsion pro
vides that any person now imprisoned without
affidavit or sufficient cause of action, shall be
»et at liberty, unless the plaintiff or his agent
should, in a given time, file such affidavit.”
After some preliminary debate, Mr. James
called for the yeas and nays on the question
of the passage'of the bill; which were ordered,
and on calling the roll, resulted in yeas 133.
pays35. Millard Fillmore voted NAY!
Wc have not time or space for comment. A
more odious and oppressive law never dis
graced a statute book, and yet Millard Fill
more opposed its repeal. Let the poor man
think of that.

The Condition of Italy—lUnzzinl
AND MANIN.
From the London Times.
The condition of Italy Is indeed pitiable-
Distracted by governments which have no
sympathy but that of common jealousy, and
by nationalities which hate each other more
than they hate the common oppressor, she can
find in her professed patriots neither dignity
of opinion nor unity of action. With a lang
uage which to a melodious beauty unites the
expression of tender sympathies and high as
piration, with a people whose lower orders
furnished the bravest soldiers to the armies of
Napoleon, and whose higher rauks have re
cently furnished martyrs to the cause of liber
ty, such as the countrymen of Bussell and
Sidney might admire, with a cause which might
inflame a generons sympathy in every brave
and patriotic breast, still Italy can neither
combine her sons in a struggle against her
foes, nor in accordance among themselves.
4s the pressure of the foreign yoke becomes
more galling, as the tyranny of domestic mis
government becomes more odiouiJ and humili
ating, so increase the differences and distrac
tions between tho men wliosecourage is invok
ed to break, or whose wisdom is expected to
solve, her ignoble subjection.
There are divisions between her patriots as
there arc divisions between her neighboring
States aud cognate principalities. Freedom is
desired, sighed for. and may lie fought for;
but she is secondary to the ambition, the jeal
ousies, and hatred of those who aspire to win
her. And well do they who govern Italy
know this fatal weakness; richly ilo they profit
by it; largely and lavishly will they foment it.
They will encourage and enhance it as the
best ally while the conflict lasts, and as tho
strongest reserve when the conflict is won.—
So long as it endures, the Austrian will be all
powerful iu Bologna, sacerdotal mi6govern-
ineut will drain the finances nnd plunder or
exile the citizens of Borne, Naples will tolerate
an oppression more iniquitous than any of the
fifteen or sixteenth centuries, and Tuscany
will compensate for her exemption from flagrant
violence by her exposure to the petty annoy
ances of autocracy. To the foreign power
who invades, aud to the domestic despot who
insults and pillages Italy, the jealousies of her
citizens and recriminations of her patriots are
a permanent and relinblo resource, and from
none of them has either received so much aid as
from M. Mazzini and his partisans.
The name of Mazzini will be long remem
bered, if not cherished, iu Italy. He is en
titled to that exceptional fame which survives
the presence and the achievements of him on
whom it is conferred. Tile Italian revolution
of 1848 has, perhaps, exacted a more prolix
retribution than any other of modern days, but
-M. Mazzini has not been content with its
victims, and at Milan and eleswhere has ex
cited fresh revolts, to be avenged by fresh ex
ecutions. Even the other day an emeute at
Massa, of the true Mazziuiau type, contribut
ed another batch of prisoners to tlie Austrian
dungeons. For the illegal seizures which have
broken up the union of families,—for the un
just deaths which have destroyed their peace
—for the fearful espionage which has tracked
the steps of good and guiltless men to a cruel
icntcucc ©£ «* iropriovnmtut—-tor tile
wicked arts and wicked violence of incensed
ml rc established despotism, the Italians will
have to thank men like Mazzini, who dictated
policy at once reckless, impracticable, irritat
iug, and imbecile.
And now, again, when a faint light of
promise for the future seems to streak the
sombre sky of Italian politics—when wise men
are planning moderate counsels, a brave men
biding a time of action, the meddling theorist
aguin interferes to sow disunion among the
States and sons of Italy. Postponing tho lib
oration of Italy to his own crotchets, the fact
itself to Ins own notion of the mode iu which
it should be accomplished, the cause itself to
certain incidents which ho must associate with
it as indispensable, lie assails Signor Maniu
for having pointed out a mode of achieving this
great object more in harmony with the exist
ing state of things and the temper of the Ital
ian people than a crude and ill-prepared ris
ing, without a common leader aud a common
plan. The Italians who have tested the two
men in action can hardly hesitate with which
to side,—the man who having broken the con
federacy of the last movement by hotheaded
sectarianism, left bis admirers to the dungeons
and chains of the victorious foreigner; or the
man who, having shared in the devoted labors
which resuscitated the past glories of Venice,
now waives a cherished theory in order to base
the emancipation of Italy on the union of her
sons. To .Mazzini the past has spoken in vain;
to Minin it is eloquent of instruction. The
one would summon to tlie standard of revolt
a motley rabble of unsympathetic rebels, men
inflamed as much with a hatred of all subord
ination, all property, and all religion, as of the
foreign soldier who domineers and the native
priest who plunders in the fair plains of his
country—men who, once heated by conquest,
would soil their hands in brutal rapine, or,
once checked by defeat, would abandon their
cause in ignominious tremor. The other—
hating anarchy and disorder no less than he
hates assassination—would enlist under sonic
known and powerful standard tho more noble
and generous spirits of Italy, would summon
to the support of a cherished cause the tradi
tions of an ancient renown and the prestige of
a name associated with valor, glory and victo
ry. The one would launch his troublous elc
merits at once into the sanguinary stream of
war without provision for tlie failure which is
almost certain, or retreat for the victims thus
foredoomed. The other, warned by the past,
and knowing the pregnant influences of the
future, would harbor bis resources until the
time of their development was ripe—would
bring tlie teachings of long experience to bear
upon the task of smoothing down the asperity
of ancient rivalries and enmities, of subordin
ating hot-tempered enthusiasm to a definite
plan of uniform action, of merging provincial
pride aud provincial ambition in the great and
noble task of making nil Italy free. To achieve
this work he would not alarm tho susceptibili
ties of moderate men, nor awaken the suspicion
of Absolutists, nor excite the cupidity or via
dictiveness of the sordid and the cruel; but
would seek to extend to a wider circle and ex
hibit ou a wider field that capacity for self-
government, that power of reconciling the
essential properties of Freedom with tlie de
corous embellishments of monarchy, and of
combining devotion to the family of a Sovcr-
ign with an enlarged love of country, which
have earned for the small kingdom of Piedmont
the sympathy and admiration of States more
wealthy and more powerful.
It may bo true, as Mazzini writes to Mauin
_ our yesterday’s impression, that tho Pied
montese dislikes the Lombard, aud the Lom
bard hates the Piedmontese, and that both
hate or despise the Neapolitan aud the Homan.
But what then? Is the disunion which unfort
unately exists, and has always existed, to the
practical dismemberment of Italy, more likely
to be healed by the precipitate insurrection of
a mob of wild Democrats or turbulent Hociul-
.„ts, mixed with a tolerable sprinkling of un
scrupulous assassins, than by the consolidation
of a great Italian party, bent upon restoring
the liberties of their nation, but bent also on
restoring them consistently with order and
good government ? Mazzini is angry at the
presence of the monarchical element. He h;is
already led a revolt which soon got rid of its
obnoxious presence, and he will perhaps gratify
the world with his own account of the advan
tages which flowed from this elimination.
Whatever his own theory may be of his fail
ure, we suspect the world will agree with those
more temperate but not less devoted friends of
Italy who found all their designs for her re
stitution and regeneration on the success of
the experiment which Sardinia is now happily
making that Italians can be coustitutionaly
governed without rushing into anarchy or sink
ing into servility; and that the slow andgradual
dissemination of constitutional ideas through
out the Peninsula is the surest guarantee of its
eventual emancipation from the gyves which
now ignobly fetter its thought and action. It
may not be reserved for the King of Sardinia
to bead a movement in the cause of liberation
Ho may not desire it. His people may be
averse to it, or his neighbors. But of this we
are convinced—that, be the future leader of
Italian liberation who he may, the dignity and
the independence of Piedmont have given a
tone to Italian sentiment and set an example
to Italian patriots of which the full influence
will be felt only when Italy is united and free
Later from Texas.
The steamship Mexico, Capt. Lawless from
Indianola and Galveston, arrived here yester
day morning. By the arrival of the Mexico
we havo Galveston dates to the 30th, and from
Indianola to the 20th ult.
The Mexico brought over eight emigrants
for Nicaragua as passengers.
The Galveston News, of the 30tli, has the
following in an article about their city :
The drought, of which so much has been
said nnd written, still continues, until rain
water, even for drinking purposes, is becom
ing a rarity. The gardens are entirely de
stroyed, and the trees present a fall-like ap
pearance. The memory of that celebrated
personage the “oldest inhabitant,” has been
appealed to and faiie-i to remember a season
so remarkable for its extreme dryness.
The same paper says :
From every quarter our exchanges come
teeming with fearful accounts .of the short
crops, especially of corn, our great article of
consumption. When wc take Into considera
tion that the last year was far from being a
productive one, aud that this follows consecu
tively, producing but a small proportion of the
demand we confess that we do not see any
thing promising or cheering in the future to
the enlarging wants of our increasing and
needy population. It is not feared that so
great a want aud scarcity will prevail as to
cause riots and bloodshed, as in some parts of
Europe, and yet wc cannot avoid recommend
ing great economy and care in the use of this,
our main product for food, especially through
the South, where the drouth so universally and
extensively prevails.
Wc have been informed by gentlemen trav
eling from the interior of our State, that the
prairies present the appearance of deserts, all
the grass having died aud become white,.crisp
and dead for the want of rain.
We canuot urge our friends to cxorcise:too
much caution and discretion in preserving and
usiDg the grain now on band, for we cannot
jnuMuv.. ou. aiotress nnu Win un-
ore us, unless some favorable change take
place in our behalf.
The Houston correspondent of the same pa
per gives the following item:
Our city coutinucs healthy. We entertain
the most sanguine hopes of immunity this fall
from yellow fever. Business is improving.—
New cotton commands readily from 104 to 11
cents per pound. The crop is being rapidly

The Galveston Civilian, of the 20th, says:
The legislature has adopted an act supple
mental to the act for the improvement of the
rivers of Texas. This last appropriates $50,
000 to the gulf and its waters; and the same
amount to the Colorado, Trinity, Brazos, aud
Sabine each, and $20,000 to other streams
each. If the amount asked exceed the amount
in the treasury, an equitable adjustment is to
bo made by the executive and beads of depart
ments.

Destruction of Brigands in Greece.
The Monitcur Grcc of tho 31st July con
tains full details of the destruction of the com
bined remnants of four robber bands, beaded
by Davclio, Zaphiris. Bcloulias, and Phcun-
toukis. The brigands, closely pursued from
mountain to mountain, turned to bay at last
and fortified themselves on a small hill, said
to bo the very spot where CEdipus slew Laius.
Surrounded by troops and by armed civilians,
they defended themselves with great courage-
Night approaching, a lieutennant, named
Meegas, who lmd been under a suspicion of
conniving at their misdeeds, and who, to dissi
pate this suspicion, had devoted himself to
their pursuit, and had been the first to get up
on their track, saw the necessity of putting an
end to the conquest, lest the darkness should
favor the robbers’ escape. Sword in hand, he
sprang into tlie entrenchment occupied by
Beloulios, but was wounded in the act, and
quickly despatched. His example, however,
stimulated the others, who swarmed over the
brigands’ defences, and put. the whole 23 to
the sword, with the exception of- four who were
wounded and mado prisoners. There was a
great joy at Athena in consequence of the ex
termination of these formidable banditti, and
some of the papers speak of tlie affair with al
most as mucli enthusiasm as if a battle had
been fought and won. Tho Queen sent 2000
drachma* to tlie widow of Meegas, to whom
anti to her children it is proposed to grant a
pension.
Or Dr. Mayo relates that an idiot iu the
hospital of Salzburg, appearing to be singu
larly insusceptible of fear, an experiment of
an appalling character and appalling conse
quences was mado upon him as a means of
putting his susceptibility to the tost. It was
proposed to produce in him the impression that
he saw a dead man come to life. A person,
accordingly, had himself laid out as a corpse
and enveloped iu a shroud ; and the idiot was
ordered to watch over the dead body. The
idiot, perceiving some motion in the corpse,
desired it to lie still; but the pretended corpse
raisingitself in spite of this admonition,the idiot
seized a hatchet, which unluckily was within
his reach, and cut off first one of his feet of the
unfortunate counterfeit, and then unmoved by
his cries, cut oft’his head, lie then calmly re
sumed his station by the real corpse.”
Commerce of New York.
The imports of foreign goods in New York
for tlie month ot August were $7,413,2(i(i
greater than for August, 1855, and $835,532

jiecie, are $1,257,884 in excess of the corres
ponding total for last year, and $858,257
