Eateresting Coincidence, READ! READ!! The well-known Virginia politician whose name graces the head of this article las been trumpeted forth in this State asa convert to Pierce, and as re pudiating Seott, because he entertains ‘opinions inimical to the institutions of fifteen Statesin the Union.” The charge in reference to Seott has been so fully answered that politicians of the lowest order only now have tho front to reiterate it. Bat to let our readers judge who C. J. Faulkner is, we publish an extract below fiom a speech of his delivered in 1852, before the Virginia Levislature. Viewing Faulkner in the light ef his previous course, the efrontery of his new position is consummate, Such aman opposes Scott, for suck reasons! The locofocoism of this new convert to democracy is beyond compare. Pierce, no longer ago than January last, (as reported by two democratic papers, ) declared he “loathed the fugitive slave law.” The deelaration has been circulating a long while in the States, and must haye met ‘Gen. Pierce's eye, but he has never denied it, soit must be taken as his epinion. Here we have the key of Faulkner's sudden admiration for Pierce. Aflinities have met and united. The only difference between Pierce and Faulkner, is that Pierce said slavery should be “ extirpated,” because it had been “introduced against the moral sense of the world,’ and Faulkner is in fayor of ABATING IT AS A’NUISANCE. If any one doubts this, let him read the following : “Sir, . would dislain, wpon an oeeasion of this sort. appealing as it doos to the fundamental principles upon which society is organized, to bandy with gentlemen the petty technica:ities of the law. My views aro briefly these: Pro perty is the ereature of ¢ ead socrety, The gentleman from Brunswick, and the gentleman from Dinwiddie, hold their slaves—not hy any law of nature—not by any patent from God, as the latter gentleman on yesterday assumed--but solely by virtue of the qcyuiescopee and consent of the govigty in which they live. So Tong as, that. property lige Not danzcrous to tit wood order of sociemity and will be toleruted. But sir, so soon as it docs become pernicious —so soon as it is ascertained to joopardize the peace, the happiness, the good order, nay, the very existence of society, ‘from that moment, the right by which ithey hold their property is gone. So. ciety ceases to give its consent. The condition upon which they were per. imitted to hold it. is violated—their right lceases. This, sir, is the supreme law of socicty--a law above and paramount to all other Jaws—a Jaw wkich eannot be questioned, which cannot be denied. “Why sir, it is even a tule of municipal Jaw, and [ use this merely as an lillustration of the great principles of so. ciety—Sic ulere tuo, utalicnum non ledas. So hold your property as not to injure the property, still less the livesand happiness of neighbors. even in the best regulated communities, there is in practice a departure from this principle, you may abate the nuisince. It may cause loss, but it is what lour black lettered gentry term, damnum obsque injurta—a loss for which the law affords no remedy. Buty sir, it is said, that society having conferred this property on the slave holder, it cannot now take it from him . without an adequate compensation : by which is meant full value. . may be singular in this opinion, but I defy the . legal research of the House to point me . sg I toa principle. ever recognized by the} law, where the community pays for property, which is remoyed or destroyed Decause it isa nuisance and jurious to that society. There is, . humbly apprehend nosuch printiple. There is no ebligation upon society to continue your right one moment after it beeomes injurious to the best interests of society: nor to compensate you for the loss of manded by the safety of the State, and in which general benefit you participate as members of the community. — Sir, there is to my mind a manifest distinetion between condemning private property to be applied to some beneficial ipublic purpose, and condemning or re. noving private property which is ascertuined to be a positive wrong to society. [It is a distinction which pervades the . whole genius of the law; and is founded . be) upon the idea that any man who holds . property injurious to the peace of that society of which he is 1% member, there. . by violates the only condition. by the . observance of which, his right to tho . property is alone guaranteed. . Joucht to be compensation. But for pro~ jperty of the latter class none can be demanded upon princip'e ; none accordlcd asa matter of right, although con. siderations of policy; considerations of humanity; and a spirit of compromise may dictate some compensation.” We give one more extract, still more pointed, showing the infamy that would brand. Gen. Scott for “sentiments in at the author of the charge is himself moulded and fashioned in every part and feature in the image of Garrison. A . charge against Scott of “being inimical to the institutions of the South” from such a source, is evidence of his soundness: “Sir, tax our landy, vilify our country. carry the sword of extermination thro’ jus, . implore you, spare us, the curse ol cup of the destroymg angel. Sir, the j people of the West. . undertake to say, . feela deep, a lively, a generous sympathy for their Eastern brethren. ‘They . know that the evils which now afflict them, are not attributable to any fault of theirs; that slavery was introduced against their willthat we are indebted jfor it to the commoreiul eupidity of that . heartless ompire which has never failed to sacrifice every principle of right and justice, every feeling of honor and humanity to the agerandizement of her commerce and manufactures, Sir, we have lands, we have houses, we have property, and we are willing to pledge them all to any extent, te aid you in removing this evil. Yet, we will not, that youshaJl extend to aa the same, evils junder which you labor. We will not that you shall make our feir domain the réceptacle of your mays of politieal filth and corruption. No, sir, before wo can submit to such terms, violent conyulsions must agitate this State.” Now our readers can judge what kind ofa champion the democrats have gainedinC. J. Faulkner. The air of virtuous indignation with which he dropped Gen. Seott--the old hero and patriot--isamusing for its transparency, and contemptible from the character of the man. Evor since Pierce's nomination, his friends have labored without success to . cover up the flaws of his character. Why don’t he speak for himself, or won't Hallett, Lis man-lriday, and, adviser allow him?» If he repudiates his old notions, orein explain them, why dén't he do it? Mis declarations and those of his friends. are as mush opposed as Faulkners old and new suitvot opinions! “The fact is, Ne is winkitig ‘one way to the © Notihand another way to, the.

The government de. serted by the Legislature, is already reduced to destitution, which must be fol-. lowed by absolute bankruptcy, unless . the regources. of the country are-once . more manuged by some responsible and competent authority. For this purpose forders had been sent to the outposts of . Vera Cruz and Mazatlan, to hold)-in _hand all the sums received for customhouse duties; the compliance of these ports with orders from the central goy' ernment was however doubtful. At Vera Cruz flour had already been brought . in‘at reduced duties, and at Tampico } tho tariff of the United States was like. ly to be established. On the northern frontier the Apaches and Camanches . tribes of Indians scour the prairies, plan. dering and slaughtering the straggling ; Settlers of Spanish or Anglo-American . bloo! who have penetrated into the wil. derness. In the province of Sonora a . party of French adventurers are making . head, haying been driven ont of the state of California. In Lower California San Francisco.

The government of the United States is . pressing for the right of way across the . lethmus of Tehauntepec, although this concession conflicts with the Garay grant jalready made by tho Mexican government, At Acapuleoa quarrel has taken place with the Consul of the United States, which has ended by the committal of that funetionary to jail, ‘in full juniferm, with the flag. in his band.” The French Minister is engaged in a . diplomatic warfare with the governmont on acegunt of some duties which he asserts have been unduly remitted to the . British bondholders. The army has, of j course, fallen into a state of confusion jand diratlection. which reduces it far below the condition in which it stood dulring the late war with the United \ States, and, indeed, renders it incapable of defending the internal political au‘\liority 6f the government. The end of wv system of republican institutions uatterly unsuited to the character of the people has been a total cessation of the . most ordinary and essential functions of . government; and we are witnessing the unexampled spectacle of a people of sayen or eight millions, inhabiting a magnificent territory, in full possession of . political independence, who onee formed . the finest part of the colonial empire of Spain, but who have now sunk to a j tenth of anarchy, at which their existince a8 a pation and even the ties of society are almost abolished and dissolvjed. AVe can recall no case of so rapid ;and total.« political ruin, Hardly a quarter of a century has elapsed since these provinces threw off their allegiance to Spain: and, however corrupt the Spanish adminisiration in her colonies may have become, it is scarcely possible to deubt, that the emancipation . of these possessions has proved a far . greater calamity io themselves than to the mother country, ‘Lhere is at this . time as much differenee between Cuba jand Mexico; as there is between Cuia and Hayti; and the loss of legal autherity is driving both these countries into a state of barbarism, in which the abuse jof liberty is only tullowed by the usur. pations of military adventurers or con‘eurptible tyrants. .

This, sir, is the supreme law of socicty--a law above and paramount to all other Jaws—a Jaw wkich eannot be questioned, which cannot be denied. “Why sir, it is even a tule of municipal Jaw, and [ use this merely as an lillustration of the great principles of so. ciety—Sic ulere tuo, utalicnum non ledas.

It may cause loss, but it is what lour black lettered gentry term, damnum obsque injurta—a loss for which the law affords no remedy. Buty sir, it is said, that society having conferred this property on the slave holder, it cannot now take it from him . without an adequate compensation : by which is meant full value. . may be singular in this opinion, but I defy the . legal research of the House to point me . sg I toa principle. ever recognized by the} law, where the community pays for property, which is remoyed or destroyed Decause it isa nuisance and jurious to that society.

There is no ebligation upon society to continue your right one moment after it beeomes injurious to the best interests of society: nor to compensate you for the loss of manded by the safety of the State, and in which general benefit you participate as members of the community. — Sir, there is to my mind a manifest distinetion between condemning private property to be applied to some beneficial ipublic purpose, and condemning or re. noving private property which is ascertuined to be a positive wrong to society. [It is a distinction which pervades the . whole genius of the law; and is founded . be) upon the idea that any man who holds . property injurious to the peace of that society of which he is 1% member, there. . by violates the only condition. by the . observance of which, his right to tho . property is alone guaranteed. .

The government de. serted by the Legislature, is already reduced to destitution, which must be fol-. lowed by absolute bankruptcy, unless . the regources. of the country are-once . more manuged by some responsible and competent authority. For this purpose forders had been sent to the outposts of . Vera Cruz and Mazatlan, to hold)-in _hand all the sums received for customhouse duties; the compliance of these ports with orders from the central goy' ernment was however doubtful.

The government of the United States is . pressing for the right of way across the . lethmus of Tehauntepec, although this concession conflicts with the Garay grant jalready made by tho Mexican government, At Acapuleoa quarrel has taken place with the Consul of the United States, which has ended by the committal of that funetionary to jail, ‘in full juniferm, with the flag. in his band.” The French Minister is engaged in a . diplomatic warfare with the governmont on acegunt of some duties which he asserts have been unduly remitted to the . British bondholders. The army has, of j course, fallen into a state of confusion jand diratlection. which reduces it far below the condition in which it stood dulring the late war with the United \ States, and, indeed, renders it incapable of defending the internal political au‘\liority 6f the government. The end of wv system of republican institutions uatterly unsuited to the character of the people has been a total cessation of the . most ordinary and essential functions of . government; and we are witnessing the unexampled spectacle of a people of sayen or eight millions, inhabiting a magnificent territory, in full possession of . political independence, who onee formed . the finest part of the colonial empire of Spain, but who have now sunk to a j tenth of anarchy, at which their existince a8 a pation and even the ties of society are almost abolished and dissolvjed. AVe can recall no case of so rapid ;and total.« political ruin, Hardly a quarter of a century has elapsed since these provinces threw off their allegiance to Spain: and, however corrupt the Spanish adminisiration in her colonies may have become, it is scarcely possible to deubt, that the emancipation . of these possessions has proved a far . greater calamity io themselves than to the mother country, ‘Lhere is at this . time as much differenee between Cuba jand Mexico; as there is between Cuia and Hayti; and the loss of legal autherity is driving both these countries into a state of barbarism, in which the abuse jof liberty is only tullowed by the usur. pations of military adventurers or con‘eurptible tyrants. .
