C7There is a class of people in this country who have no sympathy for any but the colored race; who writf volumes upon the iniquity of negro slavery; and who are alwajp keenly alive to the wrongs end hardships of the negro. This feeling has almost divided a great people, and sundered the political ties that held a great political party together. The Democrats of N. York, for instance, quarreled over the probability of slavery being carried into N.w Mexico and California; and while they were disputing "upon piinciple," a Southern man, wedded to the South and Southern institutions, ami the owner of some hundreds of black slaves, was elected, and now, with seven others, piesides over the j dretinies of this grpat republic.

Oj-The St. Louis Republican says that a Mr. David Dunlap died at Portland, Calloway county, Mo., a short time since. It was known that he was possessed of a siderable amount of money, but none of it could be found about his clothes or baggage. Some days after, it was recollected that he

'had pockets in an undershirt, which had ' not teen taked off at his death, and it was conjectured that the money might be found j there. Acting under this impression, the i grave was opened, the shirt examined, and j $2,225 found in his pocket. The suppo- : uitiod was the supposition was that he had j died of cholera, but this did not prevent a reclamation of the money. j (r The Cincinnati Commercial learns I from good authority that $500 in money j were found, a few days since, in a pair of old woolen drawers, in the room occupied by George Oldham, awning maker, who died suddenly of cholera, when the enidemic fiist broke out in that city. The money was discovered by Lewis Wisby, and handed to Mr. Spring, Oldham's administrator. Tnere is no doubt, the Commercial thinks, but that more money was concealed in other kinds of clothing, and that it has been destroyed. Oldham was a precise old bachelor sailor, and accumulated money fast.

Taylor's administration a fair trial; just as though they had not already tested the bitter fruits of that nauseating weed, and were not now as well prepared to pass sentence of condemnation upon it as if it weie fullgrown and ripe. As to electing Whigs to Congress that the administration may have a fair trial, Gen. Taylor told the people before the election that he would not be a party President; and in order that he may carry out that promise, the people are determined not to impose the Whig party on him in Congress.

For th Courier. Me. Editok: I have been taxing my ingenuity to find oat who that Old Hanker is that the editor of the Banner hare referred to in their paper of the 11th. I couW not allow myself at first to belie re that It was Gen'l Stapp, but I cannot, for my life, appropriate the name to any other.

The whole sentence in which this name, "Old Hunker," occurs being devoted to Mr. Woolen, and Gen'l Stapp being the only eld politician whose name was before the convention for the office of Treasurer, I cannot place it to the credit of any other, and this seems to be the opinion of all with whom I have Conversed on the subject. What next? Is Gen'l Stapp about to leave the whig party? has he indeed said that he cannot support the county ticket? If this is so, look out for a democratic majority here in a few years for the General always makes his mark wherever goes. It will, however, take better authority than the Banner to make me believe that the General is about to repudiate whiggery, for if bad treatment, and kicks and cuffa, such as he has always received from the whig party, could force him from his principles, he would have left the whig party long since. I am informed that the General said he thought it high time that he should cease to spend his money and time in the whig cause, as he has done heretofore, after the treatment he has uniformly received from leading whigs in and out of the State, and I think so too. He is certainly one of the most active and energetic whigs in the State. He spent more time and money in the cause of General Taylor than any other man in the State, and yet his claims to office have been overlooked and those who made bitter denunciations against Taylor have been preferred. He has been the stay and prop of the whig party in this county, done more to keep the party together and sustain its majority than any other man in the county, and yet, when he asks the convention to give him an office that has inoney in it, he is refused. He has emphatically been the servant of the people of this county, and more especially of the whig party. Always ready to sacrifice all private interests and domestic social happiness to serve the people of his county, and more especially of the whig party, and yet, when he has spent all his substance in their service, and in his old age, comes before a convention of that party which he has served so faithfully, and at so much sacrifice, and asks them to give him bread for his family to eat, he is coolly told that he is an "Old Hunker" and must stand aside for a mere boy who has never done any thing either for his county or his party. I think with the General, that though he may continue an honest whig and rote the party tichet, yet he cannot hereafter with any propriety be called on by the whig party, as he always has been in this county, to be active in settling difficulties, in the brotherhood, in arranging lor success, and rallying his party by his energy, his industry and ability. A WHIG. Austrian Mission to America. We learn from the N. Y. Herald that the Austrian government have 6ent a distinguished mechanic to this country to inspect our steamthips, naval depots add machine shops - to collect drawings of locomotives, steam presses, &.c. This is the third foreign rnit-sion of the kind that has visited this country within the last ten or twelve years. The first mission was from Russia, and resulted in the construction of the splendid steamship Kamschatka. That mission was composed of three experienced naval officers. The second was from Brazil, and the third is the above from Austria. We can furnish the government of E'irepe with models and plans in abundance. In a few months our ship builders and machine makers will turn out a few steamships that will probably astonish them.

She brings 45 passengers, exclusive of 18 of the 40 survivors of the ill fated barque Charles Bartlett. STATE OF TRADE. For all Securities, prices generally have been firm with an advancing tendency, both in London and on the Continent, and if, perhaps, we except produce, every thing give signs of firmness, activity and confidence. National Securities have more than sustained their firmness. A slight improvement will be noticed in the value of Wheat, Flour and Cotton, while the statements from the Manufacturing districts furnish strong assurance of an extension of operations. Throughout the week a considerable amount of business has been done in Breadstuffs, with an advance in every article except Indian Corn, which declined Is to ls-6d per quarter, although Ireland alone took seventy-six and a half quarters. Wheat has advanced one to two pence per 70 pounds, and Flour 6d a barrel. The closing prices of the week are: Western Canal Flour, 23s-6d(S24s; Ohio, 25s25s-6d; Philadelphia, 23s-6d24s; Baltimore, 23s-6dffl23. Wheat, U. S. red to white and mixed, 6s-6d to 7s-5d. Indian Corn, per qr.; yellow and white, 33s to 34s. Cotton market firm, and prices tend upwards, with a small advance on lower qualities. In American Provisions, the transactions have been only moderate Beef taken for retail. Western Prime Mess Pork, 35i240s per bbl, other de scriptions not enquired for. Large parcels of Western Bacon brought 27s-6d28s; Hams, fine quality, steady at full prices; Shoulders declined Is per cwt. Of Lard, five tons sold at previous prices; demand moderate. Cheese, not in much demand. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are highly favorable, and have had a correspond ing effect on the market. The sales of the week reach 58,858 bales, 16,500 of which was taken on speculation, and 5.000 for export. The American descriptions, sold, consist of 14,000 bales Upland at 45d ; 22,000 bales New Orleans at 3(S5d ; 14,000 bales Alabama and Mobile at 4S5d, Mid dling, 4d, and Fair, 4jgd; and 500 Sea Island at 8414d. DREADFUL DISASTER AT SEA ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN LIVES LOST. The bark Charles Bartlett was run down by the steamer Europa, on Wednesday afternoon, 27th June, seven hundred miles westward of Cape Fear, and sunk in three minutes. She had one hundred and thirty two passengers on board, exclusive of the crew, and only forty-two out of one hundred and fifty-fix souls were saved. The captain, mate, and ten of the crew were among the survivors. The catastophre occurred during a dense fog. The officers of the Europa are acquitted of all blame, not only by the survivors, but by the unanimous voice of the British press, and the public. A subscription of JC352 sterling was promptly raised by the passengers of the Europa, to which the proprietors addded 20. The Charles Bartlett was bound from London to New York, with emigrants S. B Forbes, a passenger in Europa, behaved with surprising gallantry upon the occasion, and has been presented with a gold medil by the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society. FRANCE. The legislative Assembly has beeu the scene of much turbulance and recrimination during the past week. The despotic spirit whieh marks the proceedings of the government is having the fTec1 to unite the various sections of the Assembly, not heretofore friendly, into a compact opposition to the Burrot ministry in defence of Republicanism. On the loth, an official notification was made to the French legislative Assembly, that in consequence of arrangements entered into between Genl. Ondinot and the Roman Triumvirate, the gates of Parola, Portesea, and St. Pancrazio. had been thrown open to the French troops, who were advancing measures for the immediate occupation of Rome, which should take place with perfect quietness and order. This communication produced a deep sensation in the chamber. A correspondent writing from Paris, says: "Just as the Bourse was closing, it was stated positively that the Government had received a telegraphic despatch annouueiug the entry of the French array into Rome on the 2d inst., and that they were read with acclamation by the people." The division of Garribaldi had been conducted to Civita Veechia, where they would iay down their arnw. Two divisions of the French army were to be lodged and maintained by the Roman Government The funds rose on the receipt of this news, one per cent.

Immediately on the receipt of lbs iarrrnde-r of Rome to Genl. Ondinot, a telegraphic diptclr was sent to M&rsailles, desiring Genl. Bedee towait there for fresh instructi0ns before proceeding to Rome. ROME. On the 30 olt., the constituent Amenably of Rome, finding that further resistance to the French army would be in vain, ceased bostilitiej,' and virtually surrendered the eternal city to the beseigers. healtiTreport.
