Kaufman was lately re-elected to Congress from Texas. Of the 10,000 votes in his district, he only lost 300 !

0"An election for a member of Congress for the ; 13th district of Virginia takes place on the 8th of i November, to fill the vacancy of Hon. A, Newman,' deceased. The anniversary of the battle of .Vonterey was celebrated in Cincinnati by the firing o' cannon, the parade of volunteer companies, and the display of the bullet-torn flags borne on that eventful day by the Ohio regiment. 07" A serious riot recently occurred at Yellville, Arkansas, which grew out of an attempt made by the Sheriff to arrest some murderers. E ght persona were killed, and at the last account a large party had fortified themselves, and determined to resist the civil authority. O-We regret to learn that one of the Presbyterian Ministers attending the late Synod here, lost from Mr. Blake's pasture a fine Mare, about seven years old, a large light iron gray, and hereby request any person taking up such an animal, to write to Rev. James Gilchrist, Mount Carmel, Franklin county, Indiana. Xcw Goods. Messrs. Seaton & IIolman are again in the market with a splendid stock of Fall and Winter Good. From a casual examination we should guess they could suit all tastes and fancies. They have a very large and beautiful assortment cf Ladies' Goods, to which attention is particularly invited. But don't take our word for it. Call and see for yourselves ! Ohio Banks. The report of the banks to the Auditor of S;ate, for August, shows the amount of circulation to be within a small fraction of $10,000,000. Due depositors, 4.349,034. The safety fund amounts to 1,975,499. The Specie, Bank Notes, and Eastern Deposits are lumped at $0,523,138, rather a poor way of stating an important item. The discounted bills are $14,443,830. "Honesty, Capacity and Fidelity." Geo. C. Pratt, who has been appointed postmaster at Prairieville, Wisconsin, was collector of taxes in Woodatock, Vermont, and ran away with the town's money ; whereupon, the citizens placed on record a vote that he had "forfeited all claims to honor and integrity, and merits the scorn and contempt of every virtuous citizen." The Woodstock Age says he was indicted there by the grand jury. C7The citizens of Logansport and Cass county have set to work, in good earnest, to build a railroad to Andersontown, to connect with the road to Bellefontaine. The line will intersect with the Peru and Indianapolis road at Kokomo, twenty-four miles from Logansport. The Lognnsport and Anderson line would also form a link in the direct line from Cincinnati to Chicago, which may be made hereafter. ßrln another column, we publish a communication from our friend Jaw es Hughes, Esq., announcing himself a candidate for Agent of State. It may, perhaps, not be improper for us to remark, that whatever we have said on the subject of the candidates for State offices, has been entirely voluntary on our part, and has not been the result of a fee of "two dollars and a half," or any other sum. We are always ready to say a good word for a friend without pay; though perhaps "the custom of the country," as friend Hughes hints, might justify us in receiving it. So far as we are concerned, we mean that every one shall haveair play. Is there any thing wrong in that ! We have no doubt, by the way, that Mr. Hughes would make an efficient Agent of Slate. Amusements. We are informed that the celebrated "Antonio Family," who gave so much satisfaction a couple of yearä since by their interesting and chaste exhibitions, are about to re-visit our city. We hope that the generous reception which they met when here before, may be continued ; and we have no doubt it will. Their exhibitions are totally unlike those of such strolling characters as the miscsb!e, wretched concerns, purporting to be "Shakers," &c. One j thing we do know, that many of our accomplished j young ladies, (we don't mean all who et their caps J for the young gentlemen,) who delight in dancing j will be sure to attend. And why ehould they not f l i Odd Fellows. We hive received the annual re- i port of Hie grand Secretary of the G. Lodge of the j U.S., which body was in session at Baltimore list ! week. The Order is represented to be in a flourish- j ing condition. The total receipts of the Grand Lod"e from all 6ource, amount to 13,939,41 ; and after the payment of all appropriations and current expenses, there was a balance in the treasury, on the 13tli September, 1349 of 1,109 92, which will bo much increased, by the ordinary receipts of the session. The invested funds of the Grand Lodge are stated to be 816.817. from which a debt of $1,000 mutt be deducted, but to which must bo added the outstanding indebtedness to her, amounting to 3,109 29. From the report we also learn that the number of lodges under the jurisdiction is 1,712; the initiations during the year, 23,350, tbe suspensions, 6,720; ex pulsions, 843; the number of past grands 13,514 ; past grand master, 1S3; the revenue of subordinate lodges, 3U,yyj 32; contributing members, 133,401 ; number of brothers relieved, 19,035; number of widowed families relieved, l,Gb7; number of brothers buried, 1,162; amount paid for the relief of brothers, $272,174 50 ; amount paid for the relief of widowed families, 33,392.33; amount paid for education of orphan, 3,732 -25; amount paid for burying the dead, 51,636.65; total amount of relief, 303,943.95. The New York Sun, speaking of Odd Fellowship generally, observes, that, as a social and benevolent organization, it has become one of tbe most numerous, respectable and powerful organizations in this country. They have overcome the great obstacle opposed to all benevolent associations prejudice. The moral of their existence is no longer doubtful or disputed. Their intelligence, harmony and muniS-' ceDt charity, both among themselves and towards the' world are universally acknowledged. Interlocked In sections, they have spread the tenet and practice to ' every city and village in the Union, gathered to their rank men of every profession and creed, excluding none except upon ground of reproachable character."

He is. i.o doubt, an amiable young gentleman of moderate ability, m l may be capab:c of performing the duties uf ibe office, but be i not a nsidmlof the di'tiicf, and if there existed no other reason, for that alone he ought not to have been appointed. It, in effect, says to the Whig of the disliict: "You have no one among you capable of performing Ibe duties of the place, or deceiving the appointment. Aide from this t jection, however, there doea not exist in his favor one tingle consideration which ought to influence appointments. His identification with the Whig party itself, i ly in name, having signalized his devotion to it by absenting himself from the polls at the last Presidential election. It 14 said that Mr. Ewing'a legatd for the late Gov. Noble influenced the appoi-tmrnt of hi nephew.

Appointments thus conferred must, in the nature of things, give great dissatisfac ion, and moie care ought to be exercised by the appointing power in future. State Journal. fc-The Land Offices in Indiana, in the parlance of Taylor Whiggery, are now 'equalized!' The whigs have them all! There is not now a democratic land officer in the State. The Postoffices, tot), of any value, have also been nearly "equalized." The democratic postmasters at Indianapolis, Madison, Fort Wayne, Logansport, Terrc Haute, Franklin, Greensburgh, Vernon, Lima, Rising Sun, Cl.arlestown, Richmond, New Castle, Lafayette, Valparaiso, Anderson, Columbus, Newport, Evansville, La Grange, Greencastle, Elkhart, Liberty, JefJorsonville, Laporte, Aurora, Lawrenceburgh, Knightstown, ElulTlon, C nnersville, Monticello, New Albany, Pendleton, Coryilon, and many others not now remembered, have all been removed, exclusively on party grounds. And this is the way Taylor's pledges are redeemed. Such flap rant and unblushing bad faith does not appear in the past political annals of this country. But comment is useless. . Whiggery feels that it is condemned, sentenced, and only awaits the appointed hour of execution. Like a bad woman, it madly abandons all hope of the respect of the good, and plunging deeper into infamy, glories in its shame. As to the Journal's remarks above quoted, we choose to fay nothing. It is a family matter, and we give the parties perfect liberty to quarrel just as much as they please, so tint they preserve "the peace and diguily of the Slate of Indiana." If the public offices of the country are to be bestowed as rewards for services rendered to party, as spoils to the victors, literally, without regard to any other considerations whatever there is no question but that old Mr. Douglass would be justifiable in suing out a writ of error to the Supreme Junto of Universal Whiggery, and the judgment would be reversed. But if qualifications for the duties of the office be taken into the account, the appointment is fortunate, though made (according to the Journal) from corrupt motives, and for insufficient reasons. Fi res. On Thursday evening, about 7 o'clock, an old log stable occupied by John Meikeill was discovered to be on fire. Just at tbe moment, a person named Lowry, we believe, was seized, carried before the Magistrate, and committed for a re-hearing on Friday morning. At about 104 oYlock, another fire broke out in the brick building, corner of Washingion and reiitnylVanu rea.s, cciupied by Lrum &. Andersons, J. Foolc "nd the S,aSe Company. The former two firms wil1 su(rer considerable loss in books and goods, but lt " be'ieved ' I,cir insurance will be sufficient to imJeinn rY ,,,e'n- Md"J i'"ortant books and papers re ,ost by ,Iie SSe Company. The adjoining building occup.cd by Mr. Dounellan, as a cabinet shop and ware room, was emDticd of its contents and the building partly razed. It ouyl.t to havu been removed long since. Mr. D. was on the eve of removing, but is now hurried rather unceremoniously. The Post Otfice adjtiiuir.g was divested of its contents, as also a part of the Journal office. They were in some, though not imminent danger. The fire Companies did their duty admirably; and we hope foon to sec their new engine on hand. In connection with tii.4 subject, wc would suggest to the City Council the propriety of procuring a light carriage and crate for buckets, to be given to those stout lads whoee services are invaluable with buckets, epecially where there is a scarcity of water. Our citizens wil promptly furnish them with bucke's, no doubt. A moment's reflection will enable all to judge of the suggestion and to express their views accordingly. The old fire-bucket ordinance should be repealed, as it is a dead letter, and entirely behind the age. uur suggestion win remeoy an evus suppoeea to arise from its repeal, and many an old bucket will be brought from garret and cellar to be given to the boys, and they will soon have them in order. Try it, your honors. Q-Tlie negro Republic of Hiyti has been transmografied into an empire, to the amazement of the population. On the 26ih of August, after some unj meaning preliminaries, Suluuque, the President of the I Republic was declared Emperor ; the legislative coun- ! cil f l,M Is'a"d having conferred that dignity upon him. On that day, he with his wife and child, repaired to the Catholic Church at Port au Prince, where Solouque, aping the style of Napoleon, placed upon his own hmJ the imperial crown, and he and his wife were proclaimed Emperor and Empress. On the 8ili inst., the steamer Mary Kingland burst two of her larboard boilers, about forty miles from Efinont Light-Hou.8?, Florida, killing instantly thir teen person' and scalding severely thirteen othersfour of whom died shortly afterwards. All the cargo consisting of hordes, mules, wagons, and other Government freight-was thrown overboard, and the receiveJ collsider&b damage. i ' ' I I. m l.-.aa m f T. . n n am M jm I rl at a A I I in fW t i VltllllllBl "'"ul" w '"vt

INDIANAPOLIS, The French ITIiuister. We copy the following from the N. Y. Journal of! Commerce. The Eastern papers, contain long arti-' I des upon the subject; but we have not space for them at present. Washington, Sept. 19. The answer from the French Government to the demand f r the recall of M. Toussin, has been receivcd through Mr. Rush. The French Government declines interference, and states that the difficulty was the result of mutual misunderstanding between M. Putisein and our Government. This answer being unsatisfactory. Genoral Taylor dismissed M. Poussin. Of the reas Tis fir this course the French Government : i a t a i . ii a at nas De?n auvisen; ana their course will oe maae j Known to us ny ine next packet. M. rousem, Delore leaving, will publish the correspondence. It relates to Mr. Rives, chiefly. The charges brought against Mr. Rives, were officially explained, some time since, and he will be received. The affair may become se rious, or end in nothing, according to the temper of Ljouis INapoIeon, from whom we expect no courtesy. K. Washington, Sept. 18. It did not escape the notice of this administration, that the President of the French did not condescend, in his annual message to the legislative body, to notice the Republic of the United State, or our prompt recognition of the French Republic. The United Slates were the hrst to hail the new Republic, and they were the first to be honored with the insolence of the Cossack President. Louis Napoleon has never yet recog nized the exis.ence of the French Republic, but he has done oil that is necessary to insure tbe contempt and hostility of this. , The apprehension now is, that Louis Napoleon seeks a cause of quarrel. He has imposed upon us the necessity of dismissing his representative. He may resent this course by dismissing Mr. Rives, and thus complicate and prolong the existing difficulties. the New ork Express, iwliisr paper, alluding to Mr. Poussin's recall, savs : "We fear there are Cabinet social difficulties deep er than any of these things which havo led to, or stimulated this quarrel. We hear of scenes some what similar to those which occurred in the early part of Gen. Jackson's administration." To the Editors of the State Sentinel: Bloomington, Sept. 26, 1949. Gentlemen: I perceive from your paper, that the Old Guard are in the field again. There is Gen. Reynolds, the hero of many battles, "Major" Mace, the hero of "Some," and a few more less experienced, but equally formidable champions. Now I belong to the Old Guard myself. I claim theso worthies for my companions in arras, and in misfortune. I have seen with regret, that while the newspapers in divers parts of the State, after the example of Balaam's ass (the sire of "Old Whitey") have spontaneously spoken out, and heralded forth the names of 'hose weather beaten warriors to whom I have rtferred, with their claims for office; my name has been dropped from the muster roll of "The Guard" and no paper has been found coming forward to tell how admirably I am qualified by my life, suf ferings and death, (last winter) for the office of "Agent of State." Do gentlemen think I have d eerted! Never! I will stand by my country, while there is an office left! I will be found in the ranks of the "Guard" answering to my name, whether it is called or not. I am a private in that corps, one of the musket bearing and knapsack wearing members, ..i t - 1. i.:.ij n t aim i mil ii'ik n uu aibacu U9IUC IUI yum ucntiuio i . f 3 and Majors. Not I.

There are some hundred members of the House, and fifty of the Senate.

OCTOBER 4, 1849. .The Tariff of IS IG I lie Sub-Treasury The following extract from a letter of the Commercial correspondent of the Washington Union,' o I exemplifies the operation of our present commercial j rnd financial systems: The state of the money market here, amidst a most active business, with more or less sueculation in some ,f the leading staple, affjrds a clear illustration of the fact how little the abundance ofotherwi-e of money has to do with the movements of banks or the locality of specie deposites. Win n ibe export trade of the country has been prosperous, and the producers of the agricultural wealth of the country real ze large Bales at fair prices, the fact manifests itself in the ' . . - prompt payment of bills, and the deposites ot the city merchants proportionately incrnise. Thus, al though the sales of goods have been this fall much larger than last, money is very plenty, wheret s last year it was very dear in the same month. The cause is found in the fact that export have been larger and more remunerative, the country dealers huve paid up better, and the dfposites in bank exceed those of last year by nuny millions. So long as there is abundance of internal exchange drawn against produce, the money market on the seaboard must always be easy. New Orleans, as the outlet for the produce of the great valley, affords an illustration: Value of prduce received at New Orleans of foreign iporls, imports of specie, bunk loans, and specie. 1842. 1846. 1847. 1848. 1849.

They were the remains of the old corrupt system, and perished with the resumption ot that year. 1 he business of the port is now 119 millions, against 7 millions of loans, which scarcely exceed the specie held by the banks. The vast wealth of the Western States float down the rivers, followed by bills of ex change which pay for goods and liquidate accounts wherever they make their appearance. The destitu tion of a considerable proportion is the eastern cities, and the greater their volume the more is money abundant in New York, and the more steady is the markets under the operations of the independent treasury. The duties received at this port for the last three weeks have beeu ssW.iM'U, increasing the amount in treasury here from 2,235,511 August 27, to $3,523,239 September 17 or rather more than the receipts from California in the same time. Every day the advantages of the independent treasury sys tcin become more apparent, and in no more useful way than in accustoming people to the use of coin As an instance: at the. Boston assistant treasury office, under the three years management ot ex-Gov ernor Hubbard, there was never taken a pad coin, nor did the government lose the first penny. Its whole revenue, minus the current expense, was realized to the last farthing. It may be remarked, that so ex pert do the officers become in the handling of coin, that bad and adulterated pieces are recognized by the touch with the utmost precision; a person rapidly counting will throw out the bad pieces without stopping the process, or without making an error. This faculty, attainable by all by -practice, is the surest safeguard against loss by spurious money. It is stat ed, on good authority, that the Chinese officers will detect by sight the degree of adulteration in a piece of money with wonderful accuracy. Where coin is much used, the danger of counterfeits is next to no thing as compared with that growing out of the use of paper. The general prosperity of the country is now leading to a rapid multiplication of bank credits in various parts of the country. Speculators are every where seeking to create bank notes as a means of getting possession of produce. This is always at . . , -- , , , , Tf .1 j the risk of the bill-holders. If the produce so purchasrd is sold to a Drofit. the notes are redeemed: but hf jt falls the public lose. A fall in produce last year crushed three Ohio banks, whose bills had been used to g possession ot it by a speculator mftew iom.

Volume lX;;;::::::Nunil)er 17, Kenton's Defence of the North. On the 9th of last August, Mr. Benton, in he

prosecution of his appeal to the people of Missouri, against the resolutions of instruction passed by the last Legislature of that State, made a very powerful Fpecch at St. Joseph. A part of this speech was published in the St. Joseph Gazette, and from it, we ex tract the following generous defence of the North, against the unjut imputations of a certain class of S luihern politicians. The extract is long, but we think will be interesting to our readers for the facts it contains, if fur no other reason: Among the resolves of the last Geoctal Assembly which have been given to me for instructions (and fiorn which I appeal to you to know whether they aie your instructions,) iheie is one which charges the northern States with conduct on the subject tf slavery which icleases tbe slave Slates from all further adherence to the compiomise act of 1S20. You will find thi accusation in the third renolre. The conduct alluded t , as having this seiiou effect, is not specified; nor are the States named which are so accused. The resolve is silent, both as to the act d ne, and the State doin; it; and, all that 1 est) say i, that the only conduct I know of fiom such States, or their representatives, io violating the cmpiomie, was io helping us out with the vote which e 't the law which changed the boundary of the State from Sullivan's line to the river; and also, in helping uout with the votes which pasted the treaty which removed the Indians from the land that was added to the SUte by that change of the compromise line. This is the only biearb of the compromise of which I knew them to te guilty; and for this, I thiulc your g'ateful hcarta will pard.w them. Among these resolves, thus piven to me for instructions, there are two, the first and fifth, which accuse the northern States bypotbetically to be sure, but not less intelligible and aeriously on that account, with the criminal design of abolishing lavery in the States. I know cf ro auch design; and I know that the members of Congress fro n the northern States utterly disclaim it disclaim both the riht and the desiie to interfere with slavery in the States. This is their language; as for their conduct, you have rccn it ?cen it in the voles which they have given to conveit thi soil on which you stand, fiom free soil, which it was before the annexation of Platte to Missouri, to slave soil! which it has been from the day of the annexation. This is their conduct, and conduct ought to be credited, if words cannot; and here is conduct to show that the accusation is not true. Surely if the northern States wished to abolish slaveiy in Missouii, they took a bad way io show it when they voluntarily increased it. If they wanted to curtail slave power in the States, it was a bad beginning to inciease that po er in the greatest of the Slatrs! If they had been even jealous of the growth of slavery in a State, they had nothing to do but to sit still in their places, and siy "no," when the law was on its passage, and the treaty on i's latification, which added the six noble counties of the Piatie country to the State of Missouii, nd converted all their rich and beautiful coil from free to slave. The resolve of oar General Assembly accases State; and I defend States. I deny that any noithern State has done anything to violate the Misouii Co npromie -anything to disturb the subject of ilavary in States anything tj jusiiiy the accusation of abolitionism against them. There are individuals and societies who are abolitionists who wish to abolish slavery in States but I know of n State which has done anything to justify such a chaige. I koow no member of Congress from a fiee State who wishes in abolish slavery in States; on the contrary they all disclaim both the rilit, and the inclination to do ao. This resolve, then, of our General Assembly is unfounded and gratuitous, and cannot be sustained by a fact or a specification. The history of this Platte annexation illustrates the advantage to the State, fiom the refusal of its delegation to engage iu any scheme to anayone hilf i f the Union against the other. The second riot of nullification was then hatched. It came foith from the tig in the summer of 1835, and was then exhibited in the Charleston Mercury, in an article entitled the Ciisis (Mr. Calhoun is always in a ciisis) -and which article was quoted, and duly commented on by Gen. Houston in his nolle letter, which ought to be read by every patriot American. It is not igned by Mr. Calhoun; for it is not his habit to sign what he wiites, or even to write what he indites. He acts vicaiiuly on such occasions When a paw is to go into the fire, be piefers lhat of any cat or dg, to bis own. lie eschews writing an 1 signing ! but I have lately brought him t it. In that J O'er son City speech, I brought him to bis milk! and I will chum it for him. (A, voice from the crowd; "let me have a little of the butter.") Yes! but not now. My business now, is not with the Calboun letter of 1349, but with the Calhoun 'Crisis of IS35 the same that Houston quoted, and whi-h is the oiigin of nullification number 2. Tbe first nullification was protective tariff. The essays of Judge Smith, pioving Colhoun to be tbe author of that tariff, and that proclamation of Gen. Jackson, brought that first nullification to a sudden death, in the year 1S33. In 1S35, tbe second nullification the same tbat we pow have was bronght forth. It is the true oiigiaal of the present slavery agitation. Naturalists tell us tbat the eutire oak, roots, branches, stem, and leaves, may all be seen in the acorn lhat the microscope will show the futuie tiee, io alt its form, io embryo there. In like manner, and without a microscope, or glasses of any kind, but with the naked eye, the whole slaveiy agitation as it now exists in the U. S., with its absurd pietext and diabolical object, may be seen poi frayed in that oiiginal article! The same barefaced attempt to pick a quarrel with the northern States! the same desire to place the northern and the southern States in the relation ol open enemies! the same plan lor a southern convention! the same establishment of a southern confederacy! all all, is there! the ame as it is now! tad the only difference i, lhat Missouti had no delegates in Congiess at that time to enlist under a nullification banner, and biing borne this tieasnn to be inculcated among the people. The delegation theu in Congress remained on their owji ground, as Missouri representatives. The first duty was to their own . State, and to make all the fiiends they could for her. Their next duty was to the United States, and to do all io their power to prescive the harmony and stability of tbe Union. They remaiued btate delegation, when the interest ot Missouii was concerned; and a national delegation, when tbe in'egiity of the Union was c mcerned. They joined no section of the Union, either noith or south against the other. They j tincd no agitatois, either nuilifieis or abolitionists. Tbey equally repulsed both. They made all the friends they culd in Congiess not for their own sake, (for neither of them would receive office or favoia either from the PiesiJenl, or fiom Cons'ess,) but f r the sake of their State. And riclilv has the State icceived the rewaid of tbat conduct! Behold this beautiful region of Platte! added to the Sta'e by lhat policy! behold it dense population iu sis noble counties with their fields and their oichards, their towns and their villages, their churches and school houses, their roads ai d bridges, t!ieir mills and shops, their commerce and agriculture.' an t, above all, the happy father and his happy family, tranquil in the home that is their own comfortable, independent, prosperous on the land that is their own Whence comes all thikf It comes fiom the Pie-emption Sj stem! from that system which gives tbe settler a home of Iii own choice, and liht in bis own I ibor which fiees him from auction bidding, at the public sale, against the heartless speculator, for his own sweat which made his sleep sound al night, for his title was safe; and his arm strong by day, because be woikcd for himself, which made him look with double joy, and double pride on his wife and childien, because he knew that he wis to bring thera up to independence; and leave them, not tenants, but free holders. What waa it but the pre-emption system that has done all this? and whence came that system? whence the votes without which it could not have been established It came fiom noithern help! fiom the helping votes of not them membets, who being woiking men at home could feel for those who were woiking men elsewhere. Never was there a pre-emption law or a donation of land to schools or colleges, to roads or canals, to asylums for tbe deaf, the dumb, the blind, or the insane which was not helped through by northern votes and never one in which we did not have to encounter tbat "blood and treasure" argument which the last General Assembly has gathered op, and instructed me to obey. The nullification school ilie arch nullifier himself above all was the inexorable enemy of all justice to the young Siatea of the West; and "blood gnd treasure" always his argument. Not for the glorious fiuits of the "blood and treasure" of the Revolution not for such fruits of this blessed Union. That blood was water that tieasuie was tiash this Union a cuisc ia nullification eyes. Sell to the highest bidder, and put the money into the public tieasuiy for the common benefit of all wheie, by the by, a few would be sure to get it all was the everlastieg argument the eteinal answer of the nullification school whenever pre-emption, donation, graduation, giant, or gift was mentioned. And now, after vanquishing thuj argr.ment in Congress, the Geneiat Assembly of the last session, dig it up fiom its grave, and instiuct me to obey it. I say this ground upon which you stand, illustrates every question, legal, moial, political, and social, which grows out of the present slavery agitation; and have shewn in it all but one. That one relates to the social condition of your delegation in Congress. In this it is significant also. It illustiated the benefit to the State fiom the haimuny of its delegation. To that haimonyyou are indebted for without that harmony every Jhi e else woold have been unavailing fur this annexation of Platte. Linn and I had no jealousy no envy of each other. We neither undermined each other at Washington, or traduced each other at home. Neither in a public harangue, in a p'ivate letter, or a seciet talk, did we disparage or i'lily each other. On the contrary, kindness and confidence peivaded our intercourse, and united our endeavois. We co-opeia'ed with each other each happy to see the other gain credit and both rej iced when, bv our joint efforts, the State, or any one citizen of the State received a benefit. By auch kiodness and confidence by auch harmonious co-operation Platte was annexed, pieemption established, ai'd many other beneficial things dune. How would it be now, if the Platte annexation waa ytt to be made, with a delegation acting as a patt of the delegation is now acting against me? with a patt of it assailing tbe north as tbe north is now assailed? with such resolutions to piesent as the last General Assembly has adopted? Ingratitude, I know, is no part of your composition. Tbe people ate grateful for justice; politicians, too ofien, ungrateful for favors. You aie not the viper, symbol of ingratitude, which bites tbe band that warmed yoa into iife( ypu are just, aod I giateful people, happy in your blessings, and thankful to

As au appendage to Senator Denton's speech aboe, and to justify what he therein says of the origin of the null ficatftn war, we add the extract from the Charleston (S. C.) Mercury of 1333, from which it will be -een that all that is now going on, and all th.it has been dune by the nullifiers since that titr.c "in picking a quarrel" with the north about abolishing lavery in the States, is only a pretext for that southern convention, and southern confederacy, which was then fully resolved upon. This extract will appear in our publication of Gen. Houston's reply to 31 r. Calhoun, where it appears with appropriate remarks; but it will be convenient to the reader to etc it in connexion with Senator Eenton's tpeech: Extract from the "Crisis." "The proper ti ne for a contention of the stattet ,1 ling States will be, when the Legislatutes of l'enn Ivania. Massachusetts and New Yoik f-h II have adjourned without passing laws for the suppression of the abolition societies. Should either of these States pass such laws, it w ulJ tc well to wait till their eßeaey should be tested. The adjournment of the Legislature of the Northern States; without adopting any measures effectually to put down Cui-on, Tappan, and ether assochtes, will present an issue which must te met by the South, oi it will be vain for us ever after to attempt any thing further than for the State to provi.l for her own safety by defensive measures of her own. If lhe issue presented, is tu be nut, it can only be done by a convention of the aggrieved States; the proceedings of which, to be of any value, must embody and make knowo the sentiments of the whole Sonth, and contain the distinct annunciation of our fixed and unaltered determination to olt iin thetedress of our grievances, be the consequences wbat tbey may. "We must have it cleatly understood that, ia framing a constitutional union with our Northern btethren, tbe slavehulding States consiler themselves as co more liable to any more inteiferenre with their domestic concerns, tban if they had remained entiiely independent of the other States, and would, among independent not ion t, be a just cause cf war, so among members of such a confederacy as ouis, it mut place lhe several Slates in the relation tow. ids each other ( f open enemies. To sum up ia a few words the whole argument on this subject, we woold say tbat the abolitionist can only be put down by legislation iu the States in which they exist, aud this can only be biought about by the embodied opinion of the whole aouth, acting upon public opinion at the North, which can only be offered thiough tbe iustiumentality of a contention oj the slaveholding Siattt. For this we believe the public mind is not yet ptepaied, especially in our sister States." Let it be remembered this "crisis" was written in 18:35, charging the Northern States with a design to abolish slavery in the States; and that it was just two j years alter that time that the Platte country was addi ed to Missouri by the help of Northern votes! and j free territorial soil made slave State soil! and the i largest of the slave Slates, made Btiil larger! On, shame, where is thy blush? oh Calhoun, where is thy shame? - Cuba. The St. Louis Union argues against the annexation of Cuba to the United States, as follows : It is true the resources, wealth, and production of Cuba, render her a very desirable acquisition, sn far as she would add to the wealth and power of the Republic. Her position relatively to our States, would also increase her value to u, by a vast addition to our military strength. But, if Cuba should become a component of our nation, we apprehend that the would always be an anomaly among us. Her population is essentially different from ours, and must remain so. They do not sympathise with our sentiments they do not well understand our government nor enter into onr ideas of freedom. They are of the same race, and as nearly as may be, of a similar physical constitution and temperament as the Mexicios. Disjointed from us gt-ogrophically having a different system of law and essentially a difTrreut people, their governmental relations with the national power will partake somewhat of the condition of a province. Political troubles will be as rife there as they have been in iUexico and the bouth American States. This state of things seems to bo incurable among those of the Spanish race. "The constitution of Uie United States requires that the national government should guarantee to each Slate a republican form of government. This requirement wou'J cail for the military interference of the government, and involve us in the civil commotions, which would he certain and frequent in the Island. We have said the people are different from ours. They will remain s . ft will not be as it was in Louisiana, where the population was small at the acquisition, and became mixed by the emigration from the old States. The geographical situation of Cuba, and lier present populousness, will prevent this mixture to any great extent. If Great Britain may be prevented from obtaining a footing there, and that we hesitate nut to say she must be, as well as from the neighboring continent, at all hazard., whenever she attempts to, it would be better to leave Cuba an independent government, in case she may effect her separation from Spain. Situated as she is, it would not be likely that she would be molested, except by Great Britain, and that we should not allow, as it would be a blow aimed at us tliro' gh her. Cuba has resources for an independent government. Of nearly the size of England, and as well situated for trade, she has a belter climate, a better soil, and a vastly greater agricultural capacity. Ami when the communication shall be open between the two seas, as soon it will be, her commercial situation will be unequalled. The population of Cuba is now nbüut a million, one half white. The imports arc about $35,000,000 or $40,000,000 the exports about $30,100,000. This commerce is equal to producing a revenue at our present tariff rates, of seven to ten millions and under our late protective rates, a much larger treasury. The actual revenue of the Island from 1328 to 1347, was from 8j to $1,800,000. Only seven per cent, of the lands, fruitful as they are, have yet been brought under cultivation. There are nine railroads on the Island, extending over more than 200 miles. The population, and the latent resources of the Island, would probably be more rapidly increased and developed under an independent government, rhan as one of our family of States. Editorial Refinement. The following para graph actually appeared, not long since, in a paper "devoted to agriculture, literature, general news ar.d amusement." Under which of these heads this hould rank, io perhaps a little doubtful: If that miserable, filthy, gallows-cheallng scoun drel, , who poured forth a column of vulgar abuse upon us last week, through the . smut machine, thinks lie disturbed our equanimity in the least, he is much mistaken. None but the son of a Cyprian one who bad been "Born in a garret, io a kitchen bred. With fleas had kennei'J, and with puppies fed," would be guilty of such low vulgarity. Let the putrid excrescence belch forth his bile; we have already taken more notice of the thing than his carcass is worth more than it would bring if sold for manure. We leave you to the hangman you are 'beneath contempt." The Shakers near Pittsfield, Mass. The committee of arrangements for providing accommodnti ns for the meeting of the American Board, at Pittsfi-ld, applied to the Shakers at their settlement near that place to know if they would entertain some of the strangers in attendance. The Shakers replied that they would cheerfully entertain eighteen; but if men and women were sent to their houses, they must lJge as the Israelites wero required to mourn at Iladad Rimmon ! The scripture reader will remember that the husbands were to mourn apart, and the wives apart !
