We have never desired to do Mr Batiks injustice, for we' esteem him highly. In order, therefore, that he and his friends may have no room to imagine that we have dealt unfairly with him, we now copy the article in question; together with the article from the Journal which it is intended to explain : "Bear in mind that James Banks, Esq. Whig Sub Elector, in the political discus sion in this town on the 14th instant, dis tinctly stated that Gen- Pierce had been charged by some of his party with loathing the Fugitive Slave Law, but that he made no such charge. He knew the contrary t. be the fact. lie knew that Franklin Pierce had manfully defended that law in -his own State, and that he gave him credit for so doing. He went fart he r - He was not going to charg Gen. Pierce with being an abolitionist. He made no such charge. This is the substance of what Mr Banks said relative to charges of this nature brought against Gen. Pierce. We do not pretend to give the precise words. These admissions have been made by the Whig Sub-Elector for this District, and we ac cord to him all candor in making them. We believe he was sincere in so doing." -Journal. Why not tell the whole truth at once? and do justice to Mr Banks, whose "can dor" you so commend ? , What Mr Banks did say was that he did not charge Franttt5 ierce. with -. i - ... . i saying lie loamecl tli EurfV-Ave Z,atrf" JU e ditl not charge mm with being an abolitionist but he called Gen. 1'jerce upon the stand, and let him speak tjwr- himself and what said he? Why "that slavery is a moral and social evil," and "no man loathes slavery more than I iro." The first sentiment he ex pressed in a resolution which he reported to the Democratic Convention of New Hampshire, in 1846 or 7, and his speech, in which he said he loathed slavery, and asked, who does not deplore the existence of slavery, was reported in the Union with high commendation. From this, together with the official votes in Congress, Mr Banks contended that Gen. Pierce was more unsound upon the subject of slavery than Gen. Scott; and he cautioned Mr Person against muking it appear that Gen Scott was unsafe upon that subject, because Pierce who is un doubted authority, had said himself. ''No man loathes slavery more than I do. v 'imington Herald. We have unquestionable authority, outside of the above record, for saying that on the occasion alluded to, Mr Banks said substantially that he did not believe Foss' report of Gen. Pierce's New Boston speech, where he charges Gen. P. with saying that " he loathed the Fugitive Slave Law." For that the expression of such a feeling by Gen. P. would have been inconsistent with the avowed object of that speech, which was to reconcile the people of that vicinitv to that very Law. Mr Banks had the candor and high sense oi justice 10 reiuse to endorse the false and slanderous account of that speech given by Foss. Thereby he has excited the astonishment of the Fayetteville Observer. Nevertheless, the fact is ao.'and it shows the opinion of one of the ablest whig speakers, and one of the most honor able and candid whig gentlemen in this District, to be entirely against the truth of the report of thlTNew Boston speech published by Foss A Showkw of Ice After Gen. Scott's speech at Columbus. Ohio, a witty Irish man hailed the crowd, and after attract ing general attention, exclaimed at the fop uf his voice : ''Belter that war, pestilence, and famine should afflict the country than that we should have the rule of a military chieftain." It fell like a shower of ice upon the assembled W higs and extinguished ' completely the little enthusiasm that prevailed on that occa sion: "Bear in mind, that the assertion so oftert made by the Southern Democratic Newspapers, that if Gen. Scott is elected he v ill be under the influence and control of Seward, is a lie, manu factured for party purposes, and designed to deceive the peo le and cheat them out of their votes." Telegraph The assertion1" which the Telegraph denounces as 4a 7i," was made by Whig, and has been repeated by Southern Demo cratic papers only on their authority. Such Whigs as Outlaw. Caldwell. Faulk ner, Gentry, Williams. Cottman, Stephens, Toombs, Lyons. Jenifer. Long, Curtis, and a hundred others, make this assertion, and. when the Telegraph declares it to be a lie," it pronounces all these genlle tnea liars. Goldsboro Republican. i Ve learn !ht the tee Got.

Mr Potter further asked Mr King wheth er the rumor about Gen. Pierce's intem perance was true or not. Mr King repli ed that he had been long and intimately acquainted with (Jen- Pierce while in Con gress; and that he never had seen him in toxicated in his life. lie supposed that Gen. Pierce, like other gentlemen, would take a social glass of wiae with his friends at the dinner table; but he repeated, that he had never known him drunk, and he knew him well and intimately. It is almost unnecessary to remark, that Col. Potter is a strong Scott man. Wil mington Journal, Oct. Oil. THE LATE ARTHUR WELLESLEV, DUKE OF WELLINGTON. 'Che Duke was the fourth son of Garret, second Earl of Momington, by Anne, eld est daughter of Arthur Hill, fViscount Dungannon ) He was born at Duncan Castle, Ireland, on the 1st of May. 1T69, so that he wa but a few months over eighty threeyears of age when he ended his earth ly career. The Wellesfeys are said to derive their origin from the Cow leys of Rutlandshire, England, a fact which Wellington never appeared very anxious to conceal. The embryo ''Liberator of Europe"' at a very early age was sent to the Military College of Angiers. (France) then under the direction of the celebrated engineer. Pignerol. Here, we are told, he showed nothing beyond a fair and creditable proficiency, in singular contrast with the youthful career of his contem porary, Louis Napoleon, who it is well known, displayed his martial propensities in everything connected with his studies or his sports. On the 7th of March. 1787, he obtained his first commission, being as signed an ensigncy in the 73d regiment. Passing through a rapid succession of promotions, we find him on hi first cam paign against Republican France under Lord Moira, in the Netherlands. His first engagement of consequence was at the village of Schyndtl. where he showed the most consuinate judgment, bravery and skill. The aggregate results of this British campaign in Holland are all found in the bitterest disappointment, for the tide of victory had turned against the arms of England ere Wellesley's first field was fought. Before the raw recruits of Repub lican Fiance the best troops in Europe were constantly receding. Step by step the British and their allies were forced from the Low Countries everywhere the French armies were triumphant, and vic tory followed victory, until the whole of Europe was at the feet of the Directory in Paris. Nevertheless, it was a strartge co incidence that the commander of a worn out rear guard in Holland, years after, was destined to direct the closing charge at Waterloo. Between Napoleon and Wellington, many circumstances of earlier life ofler a strong resemblance- Their birth in the same year ; their education at the same schools (Angiers and Brinne), and the beginning of t heir military careers, were nearly contemporaneous. As Maxwell, in his life of Wellington incidentally re marks, the influence each had on the other's fortune would be a curious speculation. What might the present state of Europe be, had Bonaparte perished, a nameless man, in tracing out his first battery at Toulon or "the Iron Duke,' as ignobly, the "leader of a broken host," among the swamps and dykes of Holland ? We have ilwelt thus upon the earlier career of the Duke, because its incidents are likely to be less fresh in public re memberance. We do not intend to follow him to Hyderabad. Seringapatam, or through the trying vicissitudes of the rest of his brilliant but bloody career in the East Indies. The name he won in those campaigns was a good capita! he found wherewith to commence business after wards in Europe. As soon as he returned home. Parliament complimented him with a vote of thanks, anil then, after a while. avehiui fl80S) the command of an ex pedition that was destined - for Porlogal- the beginning of his operations against the French on-their own groand at home. At this period, Napoleon had reared a mighty Empire on the roins" of a - Republic his Pwpnd glory were their zenith; nts of his armies were bat a in the march to victory : half Eurone was at his feet. and thrones and kings fell down and ros op at his dictation. With one, solitary exception, all cowered before the magic of his name, and while her political horizon herameTeryhour more heavily overcast. Great XlritsJ ik maintaini) MrilK i n.rltv iid ?eolulHm, lUe ttitde of Tftistanc ah ' and what Wellington accomplished while he was in Portugal, and Spain, are !et told by recalling the well fought fields of Robica, Yimeiro, Gamonal, Espinosa, San Juan, Corunna. Saragossa, Talavera. Bandajo, Cindad Dodrigo, Busaco, Baro sa, Albiera, Vtttoria, San Sebastian, and a host of others, where men were mown down like grass before the scythe. The final sacrifice at Waterloo closed the struggle of the giants Napoleon, like another Prometheus, was chained to hiv rock, to die in exile while Wellington went home, covered with glory, and to be the recipient ewr afterwards, as long as he lived, of the highest civil honors the Government and people of Great Britain had it in their power to bestow. But Wellington knew how to govern men better on the battle field than in party conflicts in the olitical arena at home; and hence, it is no wonder that he never made, and never would make, that bril liant figure out of a mere military sphere, for which Napoleon will ever be so famous. The particulars of the Duke's death are briefly communicated in our telegraphic despatches. The Marquis of Douro, (now Duke of Wellington. was in Germany, it seems, at the time, but had immediately returned to England. The public were calling for , an extension of the patent of nobility t- the female heirs of the duke. Lord Mahon is understood to be his literary executor. By the Duke's demise a num ber of valuable offices fall into the gift of the Ministry. Prince Albert, the Duke of Cambidge, and Iord Fritzroy Somerset are already named in connection with th appointment of Commander-in-Chief of the Army; but military men geoerally. would rather seethe oiiice bestowed o'i viscount il.irdinge, or so ne other old sni-" dier. Tbe Duke of Wellington's titles and offices are perhaps the most exalted and numerous ever conferred upon a single individual. We subjoin the list : Duke and Viscount Wellington ; Baron Doure ; Knight of the Garter, and Grand Cross of the Bath; Prince of Waterloo in the Netherlands ; Duke of Cindad Rodrigo, and Grandee of Spain ; Duke of Vittoria; Marquis of Torres-Vedras, Count Vimeiro in Portugal; Knight of the foreign ortlersof the Guelph of Hanover, St. An drew of Russia, ihe Black Eagle of Prus sia, the Golden Fleece of Spain, the Ele phant of Denmark, St. Ferdinand of Merit, and St. Januarius of the Two Sicilies, Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria, Maria Theresa of Austria, the Sword ofSweden, of William of the Netherlands Field Marshal in the armies of Austria, Russia, Prussia. Portugal, the Netherlands; Cap. tain-General of Spain; Commander-in-chief"; Colonel of Grenadier Guards; Colonel-in-chief of Rifle Brigade; Constable of the Tower and Dover Casile; Warden of the Cinque Ports; Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire and the Tower Hamlets; Chancellor of the University of Oxford Master of Trinity House; Vice-President of the Scottish Naval and Military Acade my; Governor of King's College, atid D. C. L The entire amount of the receipts of the Duke of Wellington for his services is nearly three million of pounds sterling. The emoluments of the Duke's sons, ne phews, sons-m law, and other relative?, from the army, the church and the pension list are enormous. Maysvillk, Ky., Sept. 27. Escape of a Large Gang of Slaves.-- Thirty-one slaves from the neighborhood of Augusta and Dover escaped to Ohio last night. They were traced to Ripley on the river, and were pursued by their owners anil others from this siJe. The clothes taken by the slaves were concealed in a yard, and the owners were refused a warrant to searcli the house in which it was supposed most of the slaves were hid. Five who had continued on, were pursued bv their masters and three captured. They are expected to be brought over to-night. - The negroes of Ripley assembled in numbers, armed with guns, and surround ed the hotel where the Kentuckians stopp ed. Fears are entertained of a serious disturbance, as the Kentuckians remain there en the watch, and are determined to recover the slaves. Much indignation is felt here because the authorities of Ripley refused to assist the masters by granting warrants. A Whig's Opinio. We learn from un doubted authority that Hon. Kenneth Ray ner. of North Carolina, has expressed his decided opinion that, judging from the signs of the times. Pierce and King will carry this State by ten thousand inajorir t v.
