He lately cured himself of the small pox, in defiance of the doctors, since which he has been getting" prodigiously fat. He is able to write as well as ever; but his friend fear that he will not be able to crew a he used to ! So they have insisted on his taking another partner into his establishment, in order that every thing may be ready for a grand jollification in November next. They have sent him "a most singular Rooster; a crower, and no mistake. He is certainly one of the most curious fowls we ever saw, and understands how to crow when ordered. No Broadway dandy ever walked or stood half as straight as his Roostership." Pittsburgh Post. fjWe only wish our able friend of the Tost could see our notable rooster for ten minutes! He would admit him to be not only a most extraordinary specimen of Iusus natura;, but the greatest crotrtr alive. It is literally true that he stands so erect that it is hard for him to keep from falling backwards. Ten dollars is a common offer for him since we have given him fame by a shf-rt puff, but twenty would n't buy him. He is a rare bird, and no mistake, and will do more crowing than any half dozen cf the common breed. He is docile as a pet lamb to his friends, though, being game to the tip of his tail, he is ready to fight all belligerents to the death. Hurrah for our Dick." CT" Charles F. the son of the late John Q. Adams, will proceed immediately to publish the collected works of his late father, in some 15 or 20 octavo volumes, with the last touches cf Mr. A. iusf before he died. Mr. A., in his Will, appropriated a Bum of money to defray the expenses of publication. Among the unpublished writings of Mr. Adams, is said tobe ' a new version of the Psalms in Metre, a translation cf Wieland'e Oberon, and several minor poems, but the chief portion of his MSS will probably prove to be historical and biographical works. 0Tlrhe Bank of Wooster has failed," says the Ohio Statesman cf the 30th ult.

It would have afforded me eery rt-at pk-ature to hare accepted the invitation to ri-il the State a elpreiMrd in the Revolution, but I am induced to await i. i the neighborhood of thu place, where I have located any family inch order a the Department of War may at any moment communicate to me for future service in the field. I relation to the impression, which seems to be current, that my official report of thebatileof Bucna Vuta has done marked injustice to the id Regiment of Indiana troop, 1 have only to tay, that nnihinr, has been developed tubtjuenily to the date of that report to eaue me to change it. It founded epon my own personal Observation on the field, and upon the official statements ot my subordinate ami I would say, that all might have been well had Tint many of the oiUcei agitated the subject in a manner greatly to injure the Regiment and involve the credit of the tfiaie, which I very much rcfret 1 In all arntK- the best and most ex per. r need troops have been at times subject to panic under a mnrderous fire of ao enemy, which ii im-iplicable. t"uch, it ii mo.t probable, may hare brtii the ease at the time in question. I am proud and free to state, however, that my confidence in that Regiment was not lost, but it u my intention to have plated it in action had the enemy returned his attack on the day following; and I have always felt a Mured and confident that had the battle been renewed, the 2d Indiana Refi merit would have acquitted itself with gallantry and intrepidity on all future snuHim before the enemv. Please convey to the member of the Legislature of the State ray kifh trne of the compliment they have to flatteringly entifcrrcil upon the offieert and men who composed my command in Melico, and for the honorable noiieeof myself. With senluneutt of high respect, I am dear sir. Your most obedient servant, Z. TAYLOÄ. Jörn D. Daratc, Edittr ! SI Mit Jeurnul, Indianapolis, Ind. In the first place it cannot but strike those who look under the surface of things, that this letter was written in answer to one dictated by mercenary purposes. What occasion was there for the editor of the Journal to make so much haste in communicating the resolutions of our Senate to Gen. Taylor, and thus to forestall the tfficial communication of them ! Was it for any other purpose, or design, than to "curry favor" with the old gentleman in case he should supersede Mr. Clay, the Journal's pretended fitorite, in the affections of the Whig National Convention 1 Will Mr. Defrees do the public the favor of publishing a true copy of Ms letter to the General 1 That is a matter of some interest, as well as the reply. But what is still more striking and important, is the fact, that Gen. Taylor plainly avows that his original opinion respecting the conduct of the 2d Indiana regiment at Buetia Vista, remains "unchanged." That is, he yet believes that they were "fugitives," and that, in the fanic under which they labored, they were runavays, deserters, COWARDS ! Not the slightest qualificatioi of this rmeiced condemnation is made by Gen. Taylor, except that in ether armies men have been equally fearful and cowardly. Not a word of allusion is made to subsequent proofs, which showed that the officers, ox some of them, and not the men were blameworthy. The Court of Enquiry which condemned Col. Bowles as "inciympelenf is not hinted at. On the contrary, the General sn j s "that nothing has been developed subsrquenUy" to his first report to cause him to change the opinion he then expressed, and which opinion, he says, was founded upon his "own personal Observation on the field," as well as the oCcial reports of his subordinates. Thus does General Taylor unofficially a he had done officially, stigmatize the men of the 2d Indiana regiment, as 'fugitives' from the field of battle, as a mass of panic stricken cuicards. The State Journal publishes this letter and its damnation of ihe 2d regiment collectively, with evident misgiving. It finds it necessary to accompany it willi an entire column of comment, In a vain endeavor to break the force of the absolute and unequivocal language of the General. It even feels the necessity and propriety of half defending the 2d regiment from the infamous conduct imputed to it by General Taylor. It speaks cl the "order to retreat," given by Col. Bowles; cf their "exposed situation;" of the 'murderous cross-fire," &.c. Why should it do this, if it did not feel that Gen. Taylor means what he says in plain terms in his letter ! No defence-is needed where no assault is made. But the "winding up" paragraph of the Journal caps the climax. Were not its folly so barefaced, it could but be regarded as a rare specimen of impudence. Here is the gist of it : "Hereafter, let' no more be said about injustice having been done to the 2d Indiana regiment by Gen. Taylor. Although it became his duty to speak of its retreat, as he did of the retreat cf other portions of his army, yet, under the circumstances attending that retreat, he never lost confidence in it, and proclaims to the world that he fully believes that it would, on all future occasions, have fought as heroically as any other regiment in the field." If this be not a most ''lame and impotent conclusion," we certainly are incapable of judging. Because Gen. Taylor had not lost confidence in that regiment, and intended to give it a chance to redeem

itself by desperate fighting on some future occasion, knowing as he well does, that men thus subjected to the charge of infamous cowardice, .will fight to death in the hope of redeeming themselves from the stigma, therefore, says the Journal, "let no man speak of his injustice." The Journal would evidently like to convey a fale interpretation of t'is expression of Gen. Taylor; but it will be of little avail even if successful. If the men deserted his confidence he should have dealt justly by them. But enough of this. There stands Gen. Taylor's private letter, written more than a year after the battle, in which he reiterates the charges against the 2d Indiana regiment, which he first made in his of5cial r?port, and that too, without the slightest mitigation whatever in their favor. We have simply to say for ourselves, that if we believed as Gen. Taylor boldly says he does, we, too, should feel bound to admit the 2d regiment to have been cowards at Buena Vista. But we have read and listened to all the evidence on both sides that we could obtain, carefully and impartially, and with no other desire than to arrive at the exact truth. Our opinion has been and now is, notwithstanding tho unequivocal condemnation expressed against the 2d regiment by Gen. Taylor, that if any were obnoxious to blame and censure, it was the cjtceri and not the men. The Journal itself has given currency to the infamous charg? thai Gen. Lane was drunk on the battle-field, and therefore led his men into unnecessary danger, (though this is undoubtedly a malignant slander,) and it admits the "incompetency" of Col. Bowles, and that he ordered the regiment to retreat. We need say nothing of other officers, nor of the desperate character of the battle, though something might be said. It is enough to say that the men of the 2d regiment cannot justly be held responsible for any of the errors of any of the officers, and that it is as dishonorable, and morally as c jvvardly, to condemn them in mats, as it would be to become "fugitives' in such a right. The Democratic State Convention of Missouri, now in session at Jettersou City, have nominated Austin A. King for Governor, and Thomas L. King- for Lieut, (jovernor. Gone Back. Col. Richardson, a prominent supporter of Gen. Taylor in Louisiana, has gone back to the democratic ranks, because he believed Gen. Taylor to be a whig. -

The 22d of February, as all will remember, is one of the most revered days that we observe; it is the birth d iy of one of the greatest and most faithful men that ever lived. He was the Father of his country and the founder of Liberty, one of the greatest blessings which man can enjoy in this w.irld ; and the name of Washington will for ever live in the hearts of his countrymen with the greatest affection and ratitude. On the morning of the 22d of February the harbor of Vera Cruz looked splendid. The slipping were all dressed off in their most cleerant flacs, and each of the Consuls in Vera Cruz had the flag of their respective nations; but 1 do nut think auy of them were as pretty as the Stars and Stripes. There was no work done on board ship during the day. At 12 we fired a salute of 17 guns in honor to the day, and afterwards they fired a salute on the castle, and then on board the steamer Mississippi, which was lying at baenfictos, about lour miles irom us. Auer tue Mississippi had fired, the English Sloop of War, Electra, also fired a salute, which, I suppose, was in honor to his bravery, which they experienced to their sor row. We had our top-gallant vards cropscd, which we have never crossed in port, and at 8 o'clock we burnt a blue-light at each yard arm, and one at each r jyal mast-head, and several ou the bowsprit, and, I declare, it was one of the most splendid sights that I ever saw. We also sent up twelve most beautiful sky-rockets. It was well worthy of the day. I can not write more at ptesent. Your affectionate Son, G. II. CHAPMAN. The French Revolution. The London News of late date makes the following remarks on the sub ject of the recent overthrow of Lous Ihillippes dynasty : The popular cause has triumphed once morn in Fari, and against an army of 100,000 men. It has triumphed this time, fortunately, not after three days of carnage and struggle, but by the moral attitude of the population. The national guard, the middle class of the citizens, joined with the lower orders in oflf-jr-ing resistance, and tins sufheed. r rench soldiers are citizens too, and however ready to sweep away a few idle rioters, they were not prepared to treat as foes, and to decimate with grape shot, the united and thronging population of the metropolis. The exam ple is a pregnant one, and the lesson such as every monarch and every minister must ponder pver. Neither must provoke, for neither can overcome, the hostility of a million voices, not to speak of a million ".I . ml arms, voices alone nave, in tue present case, suincea to overthrow one of the oldest and strongest govern ments, headed by the Bhrewdest king, and having at its command a most powerful army, led by an experi enced and determined general, and possessing every means of influencing and ensuring that army s fideli ty, which character, talents, long success, and un bounded resources could bestow." From a letter of the intelligent Washington cor respondent of the Pa. Ledger, we copy the following. The writer spent several years in Europe, and has had good opportunities of becoming well acquainted with the characters of the men who have been placed at the head of the new movement: "But how will this new revolution in France end ! That is the question. Running over the list of the memoers of the provisionary government, 1 Bee those grouped together who but a few weeks ago differed as widely on the most simple and fundamental principles of government as Lords Russtl and Stanley. The man who really represents the principle of re form, inscribed on the standard of the men in blouses, is Louis lilane. lie has more head than all the rest, and has studied the social question most thoroughly. He despises the Bourgeoissie on account of its cowardice, its want of national elevation, and its injustice to the laboring classes; but with a revolution, with a change of government, with an extension of the franchise, the solution of the great social problem is only rendered possible, not accomplished. Crernieux is the next in talent and respectability ; but between a good governmental critic and a clever administrator, there is, as yet, a wide dinerence.

of llr Thifr i-milil nrnrrf lv he bronrrht to lictprt to him in the chambers. j e Arago is a man of science, an astronomer and a mathematician, but he has not the genius of Carnot, and has never exercised a very decided influence on the Chambers. He sat there from the regard of his many enthusiastic admirers, rather than from any political merit of his own. Odillon Barrot has never been more than a good speaker. As to Thiers I have no faith in him whatever. lie has been the man for the revolution of 1840, (which he subsequently betrayed ;) but there is nothing in him that qualifies him for that of 1847, except his hatred of Mr. Guizot. He has more administrative talents than all the rest ; but neither his name, nor his character for his measures entitle him to the con fidence of the people. Thiers helped to cheat the people in 130. He was Louis Phillippe's accomplice in the systematic retrogation 6ince 1SÜ3, and the fortifications of Paris, and the September Laws against the Press, which confirmed Louis Phillippe's power, were countersigned by hini as Minister of the Crown, and originated with him. Thiers is a vain, conceited, impetuous man, and the very incarnation of the bourgenissie itself, which this revolution is to destroy. If Thiers, Louis Blanc, Lamartine and Ledra Rollin can keep together harmoniously for eix weeks, it will be almost as great a miracle as the coming together of Scott and Trist. Thiers is the friend of the Duchess of Orleans the man whom she consulted after the death of her husband, and who always expected to be Minister under the Regent. Adolph Thiers, if he now adopts republican sentiments, uses them to arrive at power, nothing more. He, Guizot and Mole are the most thoroughly consumed statesmen of France. New times require new men, and not old party hacks in the old as well as in the new world. Let Thiers vanity meet with a rebuff to-morrow, and you will see him in correspondence with the Royal family. Besides Mr. Thiers is by no means a man of moral elevation, to stand up and lead in these perilous times. It now remains to be seen whether the movement in the capitol is followed in the provinces. If the revolution is complete, we may expect a general war in Europe. Taylor's Temperance. Wc find the following in one of our exchange papers. It is about as definite as some of Gen.

The "Scott Correspondence" as it is called, was sent into Congress on the 19th, in accordance with a previous call for the same. The Ledger's Correspondent says "It is not near as interesting as the public had a right to expect, and half a dozen letters embrace all that is in the least degree air.using and striking. It would seem as if Gen'l. Scott had been very much put out with Mr. Trist's mission, which he looked upon from the jump as intended to humiliate him. lie objected to the "sealed" package from the State Department, which he was ordered to forward to the Mexican Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and to the power which he said was given to "the Clerk in the btate Department," to tell him when to conclude an armistice with the enemy. All the letters written tohim by the Secretary cf War could not compose his mind, and he speaks of Mr. Trist in little better style than if he were introducing the name of a notorious pickpocket. "The Clerk in the State Department" seems to have haunted him, and he thanks his stars that tho President has not degraded him so far as to associate him with Don Nicholas in the negotiations. Mr. Trist, in return, did not spare Gen. Scott in his letters to the State Department, which are choice, circumstantial and exquisitely impertinent: first, to the General, and after his recall, to the President himself. Mr. Trist was not to be headed, either by the General commanding in Mexico, nor by the Commander-in-Chief of the army. f5. yr .Pa t net ia1 sta-tsm t 1 i rw an rifl aa wArt1w . J . . . ilr, ,Kä in the sequel to denounce Trist, as worse than Marat, Danton and St. Just. It would seem, however, from this group of revolutionary Frenchmen, in General Srott's letter, that Oen. Scott is not "a progressive Democrat," for while he is denouncing St. Just, the principles of equality 60 strongly, and let me add eloquently, asserted by him, are again in the ascendant in France. Salut et fralernite. We notice some curious items relative to the expenses of the committee of one from each State and Territory, appointed by the U. S. House of Representatives to attend the remains of John Quincy Adams to their burying place in Quincy, Mass. At Baltimore, for instance, the committee were charged at the rate of nine dollars a day. each, at the Exr " ' change Hotel. A very modest bill, indeed, to be footed by Uncle Sam. At Boston they "went it equally strong," but at the expense of the city. The Chronotype has a long article on the subject of a banquet given the committee at the Revere House, the spirit of wl..i:h, as well as of the banquet, may be judged of by the following paragraph, which we copy from the article : "We are informed as lo the city contract with Stevens, that he agreed to provide the dinner at $7 00 per plate, provided he had the lurnislnng of the liquors called for, but otherwise he should charge $10 per plate. The Common Council committee elected the former, and the expense was $1500 for the dinner, which the city is to pay, and between that sum and $2000 is charged for the wines and liquors, which some benevolent gentlemen, who choose to be nameless, are to pay. Now the City Government may have its option, whether it will have the public believe that it put more than $1500 worth at wholesale of intoxicating liquor down 200 throats, or bought liquor of Paran Stevens at retail, and in a way in which it is uulawful for him to sell it, to that amount or, in other wotds, ran up a score of from $1500 to $2000 for unlawful drinks for one night. If the liquor was furnisncd in this unlawful rettil way, then we can see how it might be possible that some of the company came off on their own locomotives." Mr. Bolts has fired off a long article of pamphlet against General Taylor's nomination by the Federal Convention, which is filled with the very cayenne and horse-radish of Clayism. General Taylor likes sharp things, it is said, and it is predicted that he will, whilo reading this pamphlet, spread a thick coat of mustard ter his bread and butter, as he did when General Scott took away his tioops. General Taylor's Politics Settled. In reply to a committee cf correspondence of a democratic meeting, he says: The resolutions hate given m: great favor and satisfaction." In reply to a similar committee of a federal meeting, he soys: " I have read the resolutions adopted by the meeting with great pride and pleasure." After this, who can doubt the General's political bias) Manufacturing Stocks. From a statement in the New York Dry Goods Reporter, we find that Ihe selling price of shares in the Amoskcag Manufacturing Company i $1,150; and iu the Merrimac $1,200. The amount of each share paid in, in both these companies, was $1000. .

Complile triumph of the Parisians oxer the Army L.italushment of a Provisional Lmternmenl. Riots in London, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, have taken place. It is said that the revolution has ppread throughout France. All the departments have joined the republic. IfOiiis Phillippe and the royal family, with M. Guizot, have arrived in England. London papers of the 12th, announce the rcsignation of Lord John Russell. the Provisional Government The English Government contemplate important concession to Ir.-Jmd, and an extension of the elective franchise. ' Our latest advices from Taris are to March 9, and i represent the city as '.nquil ; but the financial crisis continues unaL' ;d, and some eminent houses are spoken of as being in difficulties ; but no further failures have been announced. The funds have fallen -'onsidersbly. On the 6th, the three per cent, futlda opened at ÜO franca ; and, after having been done at IG francs, closed at 47 francs; whilst ihe five per -'ents opened at Söf., done at 74f., and closed at 7df. There was no tumuli or agitation ; all was sad and jlonmy. Men came and offered their securities for money only, at whatever price they could get; but scarcely a buyer could be found. The iccount of the revolution in Faris reached Vienna on the 1st instant, and produced a most profouwl impression. The conMeruation which prevailed there, says an article in the National, cannot be described. The five per cents, fell from 95f. to 82f. The Archbishop of Paris accompanied by two vi cars general, presented himself to the provisional governmtiit on Tuesday, and gave in his adhesion lo the new order of things, in the name of the entire clergy of the diocess.

The government, aware of the Brnous itnpor tance cf this matter, were preparing for the crisis. Eight hundred mercantile firms, connected with the Paris Bourse, waited on the provisional government to ask further delay of a month on bills due on the 29th ult., which, by the desire of government, had already been extended to the 10th inst. It not being accorded to them, they were said to have threatened to dismiss their clerks and workmen, and commenced their determination not to satisfy their engagements Three per cents closed in the Paris Bourse on the 9lh at 52t. five per cents at 40T. On the 10th the Toulon papers say that the Duke d'Aumale and Prince de JoinviUe arrived off that port and made communications with Admiral Baudin, who, through telegraph, applied to the government for instructions, ihe admiral, it was said, had been authorized to place a vessel at the disposal of the Princes, to carry them wherever they pleased. Paris. Feb. 29. Mr. Rush, the ambassador of the United States, accompanied by Mr. Martin, and Maj. Pinson likewise, waited on the members cf the pro visional government, to whom he delivered a flatter ing address. The following details of this interview we take from the 'National" of to-day : "At 2 o'clock the representative minister of the United States went to the Hotel de Ville to make a forma recognition ol the provisional government, it was most appropriate to the representative of the Ameri can Union, to be the first to welcome the infant rerepublic ; for there is no bond more powerful between nations than community cf sentiment, Ihe 6tep taken by the minister of the United States has been regarded, under existing circumstances, as of serious importance ; although fully expected, it has touched acutely the members of the provisional government ; and, after an interview in which were exchanged the noblest expressions, they, in a body, accompanied this representative of the great nation lo the threshold of the Hotel de Ville, as a proot of the cordial anec tion which must ever exist between the American and French republics." In London, a trining disposition to not was expe rienced in the early part of the week, but the disor derlies were confined to mischievous boys and citizens out of employment. Order was speedily restored. In Glasgow, the tumults were more serious, and several persons wero unfortunately bhot by the mili tary. Ihe rioters in that city were merely thieves, who plunder the shops, and had evidently no political objects in view. In Manchester, some tendency to disturbance bas been exhibited, but every thing is now quiet. In our own town, tranquility has been undisturbed. Num bers of unemployed persons and others have assembled on the Exchange, but no political feeling is ob served. In Ireland, no breach of the peace has yet taken place, but the exciting language cf a certain portion t. . . i .l: - ol Die press, which surpasses any tning wunin our recollection, has not escaped the attention of the authorities. Some Account of the Whig Party. A correspondent of the Boston Courier, who is desirous that old things should be put aside, and all commenced anew, thus sketches the history of the whig party during the last ten years: Gen. Harrison was believed to be "a patriot," and was elected in the well known hard cider campaign of 1840. It is a mistake to suppose Mr. Clay could have been chosen aa well. Gen Harrison had had, previously, a committee appointed to take care that he did not answer too many questions, and dodged the subject of a National Bank altogether. He war, in fact, supported by many because they believed him to be opposed to such an institution, (a well founded presumption, on the ground that Greek and Roman history, of which the old gentleman was passionately fond, furnished no examples for its establishment,) and was elected mainly because the low pecuniary circumstances of the country seemed to demand a change of some sort. He died. Very soon, at an extra session of Congress, Mr. Clay, who has a great deal of intrinsic knowledge, but who never yet learned wisdom by experience, took the bits in his mouth, and went against the opinion of moderate and judicious men all over the country, and in favor of the re-establishment cf a National Bank. It was not a great while after this, that Mr. Webster declared that a National Bank was an "obsolete idea." But for some good reason or other, Mr. Webster, during all his long and eminent political career, has never thought it worth while to pit himself against Mr. Clay as a political leader. And when Mr. Clay said Bank, Mr. Webster said nothing. Now came "a crisis." John Tyler whom a little pap, gen'ly administered, would have quieted began to kick in his cradle, and directly had the whole whig party in an uproar. Mr. Clay's spanking did not still him. Finding that he made himself important by squalling, he kept it up. The elections followed, and the whigs were compelled to stand ou Mr. Clay's platform ; no veto, Bank and all. The consequence was, that the Congress cf 1842 was democratic all over. The democratic majority in that body was more than two to one. Meantime, however, the sands of the compromise act of 1&13 had run nut. The government had branched out largely in Florida wars under Mr. Van Büren and had got cut cf money and out of credit. No wonder, when we consider that the last year's revenue under the act cf 18&3, which-had then got to be a free trade tariff, was less than thirteen millions. In the session cf lb ll-U, the tariff que tion was broached tor almost the first time in nine years. The protective tariff of 1845 had to be taken. and was passed by the aid of democratic votes, be cause of the wants of covernmeut. Ihe same rea son, we believe, will constrain the revision of the tariff of 1840. John Tyler's administration stumbled on. It lugged in the Texas question into the natiorjal politics, and set the whole country by the ears. The whigs fought the battle of 1844, going for the tariff of 1S42, and against the annexation cf Texas. All other issues were studiously crowded out of the canvass. Mr. Clay was believed by the abolitionists to be fiehy" on the Texas question ; lost New York, and was defeated. The eld internal improvement question, which mode some stir in Gen. Jackson's time, has sicce come tin under ihe present democratic adrnir.itj trfction, and the old doctrine of the National Republt-

Texas is annexed. And thus the whigs are left with every old party Usue fairly cut from under them, excepting only the principle of protection. A running fire is kept up on the sub-treasury, to be sure. But with some modifications thla must etand. W1m will advocate a new United States Bank 1 Who advocate another string of pet banks ! Nobody. What

follows! Ihe sub-treasury, with modifications, will remain in operation. But the war! This a new issue. It came wun lexas. it is a part of "the entertainment to which we were invited" at the time of annexation. If we have peace, which now seems probable, there need be no more battles either in Mexico or in this country on this subject. If not, we are in the war and must get out. We have before indi cated our humble opinion as to the manner of doing so, and need not repeat Uns opinion. And now we may begin lo see the force of the question, "Why it is that none but 'an old fashioned whig, a 'nothing but a whig, an 'out-and-out whig, a 'Henry Clay whig ; why is it that nunc but such a man shall be considered entitled to the vote of the Philadelphia convention, and the support of the great body of w higs throughout the country 1" Mut we apply to the candidate of that convention the whole batch of party tests which have risen and sank again during the last fifteen years! Why shall wc burrow amid the rubbish of the past, out cf which all the val uable haa been sifted, when we have had new mines opened all around us, which demand our labors 1 The Sandwich Islands tTrrfcÄfu,ie, Vice and Misery. By a late arrival in New York we have most distressing accounts of the condition of the inhabitants. It would eeem that the efforts cf the missionaries there have not been of so favorable a char acter as many have represented, and it ia even asserted in a portion cf the Sandwich Island newspapers, ihat "the mass of the natives arc in a worse physical, social and domestic condition than that in which Christianity found them." We make some extracts from the Sandwich Island News, in evidence of this and other similar statements in derogation of the efforts of the missionaries and the awful depravity of the natives: The News charges Rev. Mr. Armstrong, a missionary, with having quoted certain texts cf scripture with unbecoming levity when speaking of alleged immortal practices unfortunately not confined to savages. The editor lays all the degeneracy, disease and crime so prevalent among the native population at the door of the missionaries and the King, and talks 6trongly of the bad effects which have ensued by attempting to enforce moral reformations by law instead of raising the standard of intelligence in labor and tiie ore, and allowing foreign capital to introduce labor-saving machines and engage in raising sugar, cotton, &.c. The News gives a dark picture of the social condition of the Natives of this Taradiso of the Pacific. Assuming that the missionaries have been careless of the education of the natives in industrial pursuits, it says "all their efforts have not in any degreo ameliorated the physical, domestic, or social condition of the great mass of the native population. But we assert it, without the least fear of" contradiction from any candid man, that the mass of the natives are in a worse physical, social and domestic condition than that in which Christianity found them. Their huts are fewer and smaller, and consequently more crowded with numbers; their sleeping mats are older, poorer, and are more thinly spread over the ground on which they lie; their calabashes for poi are less capacious and more sparingly filled ; their clothing, though mostly of foreign manufacture, is less comfortable and more filthy ; their grounds for the cultivation cf their food are less extensive, less cultivated, and less productive, and are held by a more feeble tenure : their persons are more squalid and cadaverous, less athletic and elastic, and for the most part, they arc so enervated by licentious indulgence and disease, that their pow-ers of procreation are annihilated ; the civil power over them is more exacting, more oppressive, more humiliating, and more capricious; their wants, except for the ünery which makes their wives and daughters merchantable, are not in any degree civilized, and for the Bupply cf the wants alluded to, their only certain, natural, inalienable and undeprivablc resource is in infamy. They have no scope, no proper facilities, and no motive for attempting to turn their capabilities of pro ductive labor to a profitable account. "The mass of the population who reside in remote districts, or on other islands than w here ports are, cannot by possibility be benefited by the results cf their productions. They are, consequently, for the most part, obliged to send off the largest part cf the female population to the towns where foreign ships resort, in order to obtain the means of paying their taxes, which are exacted of them equally as of those who raise potatoes and squashes, and also to obtain the means of gratifying their love of fashion. After a few weeks of bestial vice, they are carried back to their husbands and lovers, their minds and hearts all steeped in debauch, and their persons all filled with disease. On their return to their homes what a profanation of the word home to apply it to their polluted kennels! they are crowded into the single apartment which is made to contain the representatives cf three generations of both sexes, to infect and foment the fell diseases which are sweeping the nation to the grave. "It is in vain that they seek remedies for their dis eases, and a vast portion of those afflicted, we have reason to believe, never attempt to seek remedies. Many of them are members of church, and all are subjects of an unendurable system cf fines, imprisonments and forced labor ; and the exposure consequent upon an application for cures to any available source, would be almost sure to be attended with consequen ces more appaling than thd agonies of death. They, therefore, vanish away like the dew of the morning. "To beings so situated, as the Hawaiians would ba even without taxation, poor and indolent, and herded together in their dwellings with no separation of ages" or sexes, and all from the necessity growing out cf the want of scope and motive for industry, it would seem perfect folly to legislate against sexual licentiousness. Take the most refined community on earth and place them in the same circumstances and mode of living, and under the same necessity of continuing so to live, and no imaginal laws could preserve its moral purity for a week." 07-Barnett, the demagogue who prated so flippantly in the New Albany Bulletin, last summer, about Mr. Henley's vote against the Wilmot Troviso, and about the horrors of extending slavery into newly-acquired territory, says in a letter to the Louisville Journal, that Wilmot Provisoism will not avail the whigs even in such States as New York and New Hampshire, and admonishas his party tha:to succeed, they must take up a slaveholder from the extreme south. New Albany Democrat. IIistort of the War. It is stated in the N. O. Commercial Times, that a prominent member of the administration, has requested B. M. Norman, Esq., of that'eity, to become the otScial historian of the war between the United States and Mexico. The work will, of course, be a voluminous one. Mr. N. has acquired considerable reputation as the author cf " Travels in Yucatan " and other works of literary merit. Louis Phillippe's Abdication. The act of abdication, signed by the king of the French before lea'ving the Tulleries, is, it is 6aid, exceedingly laconic, and conceived very nearly in these terms : " I abdicate to the hands af the French people, on the head of my grandson, the crown, w hich 1 have received from the French nation." So states a Paris letter, in the French Courier, at New York. The National Intelligencer, the organ of the federal party in the United States, very naturally sympathise with Louis Thillippe, and thinks that the French people were wrong in puttiDg an end to his tyranny ! The Intelligencer is behind many of tho English prints in relation to the late popular Revolu tion in trance. Roorbacks. The whigs have charged that Gen. Cass wrote the Wilmot proviso resolutions of the Michigan Legislature, and that he induced a Mr. Lothkop to make an anti-annexatjon speech. Beth of those charges have been nailed lo the counter, is base fabrications. Total Darkness thei-eked. The Albany Evening Journal, regrets, Ihat Gen. Taylor has written any letters in relation to the Presidency.
