This week we have been favored with the following copy of the Speech delivered by the Hon. DIXON H. LEWIS, at the Public Dinner given to him in this place cn the 10th ult:-
 FELLOW CITIZENS: After an almost unin- terrupted absence of more than two years from the town and county of Montgomery, no occasion could have presented itselfmore gra- tifying, than the one now afforded me, of meeting so large a number ofmy oldest friends and neighbors, to whose kindness have been 50 often indebted for repeated manifestations of personal and political confidence. l stand in the presence of those in whose service have been engaged for five successive years period commencing shortly after my age rendered me eligible to a seat in the State Legislature; and l take pleasure in embrac- ing this opportunity of Acknowledging, on your part, liberal indulgence towards my public conduct, which neither the mutations of time or circumstances can ever efface from my re- collection. The term for which was elect ed to serve you in the Congress of the United States having expired, flatter myself that shall be excused from taking a short retro spect of the prominent measures of legislation during the last session, and of the very hum- ble course which l have pursued as your Re- presentative The laws passed in relation to the public lands have, before this time gone into operation, and their practical results have been experienced by the great body of settlers in the country. That they are liberal, be- yond any other regulations heretofore adopt ed for the protection of the occupant in the purchase of his improvements, cannot be questioned--but l have not fattered myself that they would meet every mans case, or that it was even possible to frame any general laws under which individual cases of hard ship would not occur. Human legislation has not yet arrived to that degree of perfection. It is, perhaps, just to myself and colleagues

ZHe CorreShondence.-A an act of justice to William H. Crawford, and in compliance with the wish of some of his friends, we com mence in this morning. paper, and shall con clude in our next, the publication of E' Re view of the Correspondence" between the President and Vice President, which we find in late No. of the Georgia Journak The most prejudiccd partisan of Mir Calhoun will find 1t difficult to rise from its perusal, with out confessing that he has Aezv viezvS on the subject of that correspondence. In our opin- ion, William H. Crawford is acquitted, by a powerful and ingenious array of facts, of the tak8ehood, which has been heretofore, almost by common consent, imputed to him, either as growing put of milicious desire to injure MT Calhoun, or as the effect of a decayed and lapsed memory. This opinion, we are aware, may expose us to the charge of inconsistency. If it does, we cannot help it. In confessing an error, it is only saying that we are wiser to-day than we were yesterday. We have materially changed our opinion, and this change has been in a great measure wrought by the Review, which we this day publish. When we first read the Correspondence, and the various publications which grew cut of it, it was necessarily done in a confused and has ty manner; and the opinion then expressed was the result of not very deliberate inv esti gdtlOn and f( neCtlOn. 1nueeu, III SuCn d NO-
 luminous corr espondence, it is almost impos- slble, without careful comparison of dates, and critical analysis of the conflicting state monts of parties, to come to any correct cen clusion. That comparison and analysis we did not make; for, in truth, we did not then see the necessity of it. And besides, our feelings were enlisted in MT Calhoun's favor. We fancied we saw him, what he and his friend Duff Green, so artfully endeavoretl to represent him, hunted deer, sticken by the archer, and pursued by the whole pack of blood-hounds, who, living on government pa tronage, hold themselves at all times in req diness to do the bidding of their paymasters. We fancied we saw in him the victim of a deep-laid plot, of which Martin Van Buren was the projector and the intended enTcio1y, and Gen. Jackson the instrument. And SC believing, we run of, with many others, on a false scent, and gave decided expression of opinion in favor of MT Calhoun. Since that time, we have not recurred to the Correspon- dence, and have rested content with our opin- ions, as formed from the first perusal. The 'Review" has opend cur eyes-and we con- fcss that we now look on this subject ill very different point of view.

penses of the government, after the payment of the national debt. If this proposition had been one of the most offensive character, a. mounting even to contempt upon the digni- tv of the house, it could not have received a more signal rebuke-Itw was met in the thres- hold with the question of considerations question which produces debate, and one which was freely used during the session, as a gag to stfe the voice. of complaint against the expressions of the ajority. Perhaps, fellow citizens, no circumstance could better illustrate the palpabe expressions of the sys- tem or the objects of the advocates, than the impatient rejection of so reasonable proposi- tion. Hitherto the several laws enacted for the protection of domestic manufactures have professed by their titles to be acts for the le- gtimatc purpose of raising revenue
 Their advocates have contended that while they would afford protection to the manufac- turer they would increase the means of dis charging the public debt, and thus have found not only an argument but a pretext for con tinuing the tariff. We have the assurances of the President of the United States that the receipts of the treasury shall be faithfully ap- piled to the discharge of the just obligations of the government, and at the end of four years we may expect to witness all entire extinction of that debt. In anticipation of this desirable result, the naked question presents itself, whether the oppressed portions of the country are to submit to an annual tax of twenty three or four millions of dollars, when less than ten millions will be required to defray the expen- scs of the government? Whether the South crn people shall pay an avera ge tax of forty five per cent on the necessaries of life, not for the support of government which they love, and for which they would shed their dearest blood, but for the benefit of a manufacturing aristocracy, who claim these eXactions with the same insolencc with which naughty lord would demand his contributions of the most servile vassds?
 These are questions, fellow citizens, which cannot be avoided They are such as must necessarily force themselves upon the next Congress The South will then demand to be informed how long they are to be made tri- butary to manufacturing cupdity; to what extent their foreign commerce IS to be crip- pied, and the markets for their valuable sta pies destroyed Such questions involve not only pecuniary interests but our liberties, and upon their issue depends all that is valuable to the Southern people. willyet indulge the nope tha. a returning sense of justice, on the part of the next Congress, will not drive to the last extremity of injury and oppression a gallant people, whose patriotic veneration for the Union has caused to submit to expressions which if inflicted by foreign nation on any part of their common country, they would have been the first to have avenged.

that furnished by Italy or France, where it has been so long the staple of the country.- Yet the sample received, has shown that M. DHomergue's lessons have been addressed to willing and apt scholars, who will, it is hoped, soon equal the reelers ot France or Italy.
 It may now be added, that an intelligent gentleman has tried a sample ot this silk, in the different processes ot winding, throwing, and dying, and the result is highly satisfacto- ry; so much so, that he thinks fine field is open for the culture of the article in Ameri- ca. The quality he considers superior to In da silk generally, and fully equal to Fruli or Treat. He had some of it dyed black, (the colour which most tries the silk) and which it takes very well. And concludes, by sug- gcsting some improvements in the reeling /; which a little more practice may soon effect.
 The present importation is a mere sample, being a very small package ; and was pro- duced Gas the correspondent of the Times states) in Pennsylvania, and reeled from the cocoons in MT Duponcean's Filature at Phila- delphia, under the direction of M. D'Ho- mergue. It has been submitted to some of the best judges in this country, who think it is a very fair beginning. The texture is finer than the Italian silk, and produces larger return from the same quantity of cocoons.
 Some silk from the same lauufc mas been boiled, dyed, and woven into very fine stuff, in America although not thrown, as they have no throwing mills at present there.
 Should the production of silk increase as ra- pidy in America, as cotton has done in the last 80 years, it will become an article of great consequence in our trade with that country. The Americans sending the raw material, and taking back the manufactured article in return, as is BOW the case with cotton.
 The white mulberry tree and silk worm are said to succeed in almost all the States of the Union, and the latter can be brought forward at the time the former is in leaf

.Hmerican Sik.-You have probably ob- served the notice taken by Mir Ewart, Con the 18th of February in the House of Com mons,) of the first importation of raw silk from the United States of America, and like wise in the Times of the 24th of Feb. on the same subject subject of sufficient imPor- tance to render more detailed account lnte- resting to the numerous readers of your wide ly circulated Journal
 MT Duponceau, of Philadelphia, the Presl- dent of the American Philosophical Society, with his usual foresight and patriotism, long since thought of the advantages to arise from extending the culture of the white mulberry tree, and the propagation of the silk worm, as objects highly important to the U. states where the variety of soil and climate render the mere production of silk easy. But diff culties arose in preparing it for the market. These impediments fer long time delayed the adoption of his plan though sewing SIX has been manufactured in Connecticut, and proved of superior fineness and strength.
 M. D'Homergue, of Nismes, in France, paid visit to Philadelphia, and afforded MT Duponceau an opportunity of putting his lat- dable views into practice, by establishing q Filature under his direction. M. D 'Homergue having previously managed one at Nismes, and seen good deal of the culture and pre- paration of silk in France, felt sanguine ot its success in America.
 The result of the first trial has shown, that their labors are likely to be crowned with success.

Colombia the fears of those who best understood the state of things in Colombia prior to the death of Bolivar, and who con- sidered him the greatest benefactor, if not the only hope, of people unworthy to be free, are fast coming to be realized; inasmuch that one cannot look upon the scenes of anar- chy and bloodshed which are daily witnessed in that country, without mingled emotions of pity and horror.
 It it is now seen by the eUent, that the Libe- rator, instead of being, as was alleged by some, the author of all the miseres that af- fictcd Colombia, (for even HE was unable to give perfect tranquility to Republic com posed of such combustible and heterogeneous elements,) was in fact the keystone of the arch which bound the nation together.

 WASHINGTON CITY, May Sd, 1881.
 My Dear Sir-You have, no doubt before this, seen in the papers accounts of the resignaons of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of War, and the dismlssa of the other members oi the Cabinet
 The letters of the two former, addressed to the President of the United States present their reasons; and the motives for the dismissal of the others are assigned in the answer of the President to the Sec retary of the Treasury and myself. In these the President admits that the dismissed officers have faithfully discharged their respective duties But in inmates that the want of harmony in the Cabinet, and the protection of the two retiring Secretaries from unjust misconceptions and malignant msre- presentations" made it necessary the others should go out also
 So far as regards the members of the Cabinet, this measure is comparatively of little moment. It IS, however, matter of deep concern affecting the character of the Government In this point of view the American people have right to know the whole truth from whence the alleged discord originated; by whom and for what purpose, it has been iostered and in what respect and wherefore it has been con- nected with the public administration of the Nation. The President IS bound to make these explanations to the people
 If it were intended to be intimated that am re- sponsible for the want of harmony in the Cabinet the charge is unjust. deny that pursued course that invited hostility. On the contrary, went as far as man of honor could go in endeavoring to pro- mote a good understanding and cordial official CO., operation with all the members ofthe Cabinet But it seems was expected to go still further, and not doing so, it has been held good cause for my dis mssal.
