Mr.. SLOANE, of Ohio, has published an an.

for not supporting Mr.. Adams, in which he
makes the following statement, which, to say
the least of it, does not place the political
character of Mr.. STEVENSON in the most ia

AT the commencement OF the session O!
Congress, in December, 1925, Mr.. Tailor, Mr..
Campbell of Ohio, and Mr.. Stevenson, were
candidates for the Speakers chair. Just as
the members were preparing their ballots to
go into an election, was met in the Repre-
! sentatves' chamber by Mr.. Stevenson: he ap-
peared to be much agitated, and bv his man.
ner discovered great solicitude; he accoste
me in the following words, which he spoke
with great earneslness, and enforced with his
peculiar gos'iculation, "Elect me Speaker,
and by God I'll sustain the Administration. -
This observation of Mr.. Stevenson made n
deep impression on my mind: not that felt
any particular interest in the course which
Mr. Stevenson might think proper to pursue,

versation, and related all the particulars to

the adjournment of the House. AS Mr. Ste
venson has thought proper TO denounce the
measures of the present Administration. in
broad and general terms, think it but lust
that the public should know, that there was a
time, long after Mr.. Adams had in his inau-
gural address developed the policy he nten-
ded 10 pursue, when Mr.. Stevenson did not
consider the Administration unworthy of sup

U The Savannah Mercury, contains charg'
es against Mr.. WILDE, member Of Congress
from that state, Of a very serious nature. He
Is accused of having proc lred the passage of
law during the last session Of Congress, for his
own special benefit. The transac ction related
10 the sale of some negroes by Spanish Claim
ants. The law requiring that they should
be conveyed beyond the limits of the Uni
ted States, rendered them almost value
less. Mr.. Wilde became the purchaser; and
then, taking advantage of his official station as
a member of Congress, he procured the pas
sage Of law cancsling that bond.
He stated in his memorial, that his sole OBJ
jcct in making the purchase, was, to prevent a
separation Of these Africans from their wives
and children; when he had, at the same mo-
ment, already separated them from their wives
and children, and removed them to Florida

pie of Georgia ought not to complain,tif he
takes advantage Of his station and. d.spec culates'
1t is all in character with the company with
which he associates.

We are informed that official information il
received at the Department Of State from Mr..
Tudor, our Charge d'Affailes at Rio do janet
ro, that ho had effected satisfactory arrange
ments with the Brazilian Government, in the
case of the brig Spark, which secures to tho
owners of that vessel the payment of tho in
demnty claimed by them. viz: the sum Of
35, 900 dollars and that he is assiduousfy
employed in the prosecution Of all other
claims committed to his charge, Of citizens Of
the United States, upon the said Government.
The case of the Spark produced the rupture
between Mr.. Raguet, late Charge d'Afares
Of the United States at Rio, and the Govern
ment of Brazil, and led that gentleman TO de-
mand his passports, and return TO the United
States. Nat Int.
III was owing to this affair, that Mr.. RA-
eUEr made so much foolish noise during the
last session of Congress, simply because the
President did not see fit to give him new ap-
pointment, after deserting his post at Rio ia

| Producing his system Of education, and by
! tina: introduction to "raise the wind" He
accepted a bill of exchange drawn by Bo-
l'var for $50, 900 on England, which, it ap-
pears, was not paid. This was an unfortunate c
circumstance, to be sure; bu, we cannot think
that the public are bound to make the sum
good to Mr.. Lancaster, because he is the
founder of the Lancasterian System Of EGu-
cation" system which never will be of any
benefit to tho people of this country.
Since writing the above, we have received
the Boston Courier, of yesterday, which con-
tains the following remarks on this subject
"The New York Statesman contains an sap-
peal TO the American public by Mr.. Lancas-
ter who, it appears, is in New York, and in
great poverty. The editor Of the Statesman n
expresses hope, in which we most cheerfully
JOIN, that this appeal 10 the sympathes of a
community may produce prompt and efficient
aid for Mr. Lancaster and bis family. We should
be sorry indeed TO see him or any other man
suffering under tho miseries of want and poyer-
'y, in country where there are so many su-
perlluously rich. But we cannot, in any wise
agree with the Statesman, that Mr. Lancaster
has any special clam upon the sympatbies OF
tho community for any services rendered, be-
yond the claims of any other man who NAV
have preferred an itnerant life to one of set
tied labor and industry. As to lis phiianfhro-
phy, such as it was. exercised chiefly in lect-
urlng and sending round contribution box to
collect money IN exchange for the information
he pretended toimpart, perhaps the less that is
said upon the subject the better Without dis
cussng the question. whether the lancaster n
system OF education has been advanta geous TO
this country or not, we are sure that the CON-
munlty 1--WE speak of this state more particu-
larly) have been moro indebted to gentleman
who now keeps a monitorial school in this CITY
for any advantages that may have been deriv-
ed from it, than to Mr.. Lancaster. But the
public have an opportunity Of showing their
philanthropy, in an undoubed manner, and we
hope they will exercise it.''
