TnE LATE DEFALCATION IN THa AMERICAN SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.- U The committee on Depositories and Fin- n ance, of the American Sunday School Union, I as publ shed a" brief state- a ment " in regard to thedefalcation of Mr. c Frederick W. Porter, their late Cur- s, responding Secretary, in which they c say : p D)istrust of Mr. Poter's faithfulness I ws a awakened by the approach to mat- 1 urity of o,;e or ttoacceptances wbchl c did not appear upon the books. But t this might be charitably assigned to t' some oversight which could be explained. a On f, rther.investigatioo , however, it was f aeertaieed that he had used the Secre- c tary's tredit and his official relation to it, or private purposes, to a very large extent. En.agements of this sort, in 1 which the bociety had no interest or ] concern, but for which Mr. Porter, by 1 his signature, had thus secretly pledged I its credit, have already been ascertained to the amount of $88,883 09, no part of which ever came into the possession of the Society, or even appears on the book. to its credit. While it is confidentially believed that 0 these unjustifiable proceedings bar.. ex 3 tended through a seres of years. noth ins has occurred until the present crisis to bring them to tight, thoagh not a liL de tlgeuiqy has beer diplsayed in eva e ding an earlier detection. [Frole the N. O. Crescent.] Has Agitation Coase? t It a re. ent speeth at Holly Springs, Mississippi, Col Jefferson Davis said the Compromise Measures of 1850 were "procI;imed as a finality--a complete s, ttlement of the vexed question (slavery) fur all titme to come," and asked: Had agitat:on ceased? IInd the North relaxed :l? exertions to prostrate and destroy the South ? Not at all. The agitation is now greater than ever. The fanaticism of the North looms up in more fearful proportions than before. It is true that the North having gained California, and finding nothing e;se just then ready for the harvest, for a time was • uiet. And in thePres.dential elec tion %Q` 1852, those Democrats who had gone off with Mr. Van Buren in 1848, came back to the party, and again coal esced sitl, the National Democracy in the election of Mr. Pierce. But upon the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill under his administration, the great body of them proved to be traitors in the camp, and again went off. Who proclaimed the Compromise Measures of 1850 a "fsiality r" Who disturbed the 'complete settlement of the vexed qu stion (slavery) for all time to c.me I" And who relived the agitation which "is now greater than ever t" These are questions of vast importance, so much so, that it is strange that they did not suggest themselves to Col. Davis. lie tells us that "faunaticism of the North looms up in more fearful proportions than before." But we are left in igno ranc3 as to the true cause of this loom ing up of Northern fanaticism. The Colonel says: "It is true that the North, having gained California, and finding nothing else just then ready for the har vest, for a time, was quiet. And in the Presidential election of 1852, those De mocrats who had gone oil with Mr. Van Bluren in 1848, ~arue back to the party, and again coalesced with the National Democracy in the election of Mr. Pierce." But when the Kansas Nebraska bill was passed, these Democrats "proved to be traitors in the camp, and again went ",f." This is not a fair statement of thit cast,. It is the truth but not the ahole truth. The Democratic party proclaim ed the compromise measures as a "finali ty-a complete settlement of the vexed question for all tittle to come." A nd in national convention asselnbed, it declar ell itself opposed to the further agitation of slavery, itn or out of Congress. The people, North and South, East and West, believing that the Democratic party was honest in its professions, and really de sired t, give peace to the country, united with that party in 1832, to a greater ex tent than ever before witnes-ed. For the same reasons ' those Democrats who had gone off with Mr. Van Buren in 1848''" came back and coalesced with the party. What was the result of this unparalleled unanimity? Mr. Pierce was ele ted to the Presidential chair, and an unpreced entedly large masority of Democrats were returned to Congrec.-. This gave the party the power to redeem all its pledges aie fulfill all its promises. It enabled the Democracy to protect the "finality," and prevent the 'complete set tlement of the vexed ques-ion for all time to come," from being in any way disturbed. Thas was what the country.e expected of the Congress of 1852. How were these expectations realized ? Let us refer to the history of the Pierce ad ministration for an answer. In th fi'rst place, a dissension arose among the Democrats of the North in consequence of the manner in which the spt'ils were divided. The old hunkers claimed all, and would not listen to a proposition to divide them with "thore Democrats who hadl gone off with Mr. Van Buren in 1848." This dimsension created a breach, and ag-in there were two Democratic parties in the North. The next cause of disaffection was the action of Congress, which so far departed from the well beaten path of Democra cy, that even "poor Pierce" felt compell ed to interpose the executive veto, to prevent anti-Democratic measures from being fastened upon the country by a Democratic Congress. This disgisted many Democrats and caused them to lose all confidence in the leaders of the pa. ty. -Thousands became coaiateed that they were only actuated by a lfve for the spoils of victory. ,Thb leacers beeame aware of this disaffection sad lose of confidenee on the part of a la ge portion of the party, and saw the neo eas sity of getting up some new issue where by the South could be anited in favor of 'the Democratic party. They saw tbat it required some master stroke of policy -somethiung that woald s.atetl the bpe pie. In this emergency, Senator Doug~ ' las conceived the idea of the Kansas-Ne braska act and the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. He felt assured that the latter would unate the South, while it was hoped to satisfy the North that nothing had been lost by the repeal, as SquatteA Sovereignty and alien suffrage was a,, effectual restriction upon the ex tension of slavery, as was the Missouri Compromise, The result of the mao oeuvre was successful, but it came very near being a failure. In the repeal of the Misse uri Compro mise, we have the cause of the renewed agitation of the question of slavery, which "is now greater than ever. Tile repeal of that measure is what roused the fanaticism of the North to "loom up in more fearful proportions than before." It was the violation of that compact which again caused the De mocracy of the North to abandon the party. Why was this? Because the counts y, as well as the Democratic party, had beet, d.ceived by the promises and pledges made by the leaders of that party. In repealing the Missouri Com promise. the Democratic Congress must have been felly aware that it was vio lating the "firality" e tahlished by the compromise measures of 1850, and dis turbing the "complete settlement of the vexed question"- that it was renewing the agitation of slavery in and out of Congress, against which the National Democratic Convention had declared the most unconp-omising opposition. Taking into consideration all the cir cum-tances connected with the repeal of the Miss uii Compro'nise, we (a not! arrive at the conclusion that the prime movers in the repealing of that restrict ion were actuatted purely and solely by' an honest regard for the rights of the South or respect for the Constitution. Had it never been a mooted question, it might have been overlooked; but sueh was not the case, for it has been but a very few years since it was pro. posed to extend the line established by the Missouri Compromise across to the Pacific. Why was not the injustice and unconstitutionality of that measure dis covered then, and its repeal made a part of the ' finality." The victory gained, it was not long I.f ore dissensions sprung up between the Old Hunkers and liarnburners in the North, in consequence of the division of the sloils. Th. former were unwillingl that the latter should receive any of the fruits of the victory- The subsequent action of Congress was another source t of complaint against the leaders of the party. Su great became the disaffection º that the wile pullers saw that it was necessary to bring about a uni.n of the South or the Democratic party would be entombed. The Little Giant was con stituted the presiding genius. It was his ever active and inventive brain that conceived and brought forth that "pandora's box," the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and the Kansas- I Nebraska act. The first was claimed as an act of justice to the South, wihich would cr,able slaveholders to emigrate to territory of the United States with their 1 slaves, upon a perfect equality with em;- I granms from the free States. This, it was confidentially believed, would secure the i Southern vote. But at the same time it was known that the repeal of the Coin promise would be very unpopular in the North. So to make the pill go down with Northern people, it was sugar coat ed with squaster sovereignty and alien suffrage, which, the people of the North were told, would prove just as effectual a restriction to slavery extension as the Missouri Compromise. and even more so, because the latter was considered un- I constitutional. The people of the North, however, were too deeply incensed at the repeal of a compact they held binding to discover the clever trick the Little Giant had played off on the South. They looked upon the whole thing as emanating in the South, and the result was the organisation of the Black Re publican party, which proved saffeiiently formidable to get control.Jf one branch of Congress. A ad so great was the op position to 'the Democracy in the North, that it became necessary to drop the Little Giaot, who was confidet.of being nominated for the Presidency. The lead ers saw that their only hope of suceess wa. to nominate some man who had been on both aides of nearly all. great questionsand particu!arly that of slavery, sad then rely upon federal influeSa liad patronoge to earry enough Northee Iltates to asbe 'thmesouth to elect 'heir - wan. The~y ,uecee4d, but it pas with Fa mighty tight squeese. f In this brief history of: tie ayMings t ad -doings of the Nationmal )eMoo ey for th last ew years, we havIe e.ise of t'sia ssrient sad agitatesa, whih is now so slarmtng Col. Davis. ').io eralio leaders sowed to the wind and are now reaping the whirl-wind. The Colonel has been a prominent actor in most of these scenes, directly cr otherwise, and knowrs full well &hat the Democratic party is wholly responsible for the agitation that has alarmed the countryC and endangered the peace and perpetuity of the Union. and yet he at* tempts to palm it all off upon Northern fanatics. And the Colonel knows, too, ti.t the leaders of the so-called National Democracy in the North, care but little for the interests of the South, and that if the voter of the South was not hbene, sary to party success, her rights and int terests would seteely be recognised. oppesd se Aser1eanaslay WleesgtE Quite a number of journals are labor-c' ing assiduously to deter men from going to Nicaragua to aid in Americanizing that country. We shall not pretend to say by what motive they are actuated, but we can inform them that they are unconsciously rendering the enterprise a very important service, and that they can place its friends under still greater obligations by piling on the agony. The frightfully horrid stories they have published witl only frighten the timid and cowardly, a class of men for whom Gen. Walker has no earthly use. He had in his army too many who went to that country with the ilea that his army was a" peace eilablishment," and the result was, they ingloriously deserted as soon as they became convinced that some desperate fighting had to be done. It 1k hoped that the efforts of the jour nals alluded to will prevent any fr-m going to Nicaragua who are actuated y no higher motive than their "grub " and $24. per month. Five hundred good and gallant spirits, who posses. some pride of caracter, and have a repu tation to lose, are worth a ten acre field full of those who have no higher object in view than their moanthly pay. eiar Walker wants men who are willing to endure privations, undergo hardships and encounter dangers, in order to achieve the glorious objects of the enter prise, of which he is acknowledged lead. er. Any man who supposes that a country can be acquired and a govern ment established without running any risks, or enduring any hardships, had better stay at home. There are enough who will go to aid in carrying out the ob jects of the undertaking without the as. sistance of the "moral heroes," who are only willing to fight for pay. Suek men are not reliable, for they might abandon the cause in the hour of gret eat need, if they could find a better market for their service.
