proceed to Liverpool and the manufacturing districts,
and then make flying visit to Scotland and ireland,
with the same views. In December shall be IN
Paris and in that centre Of European civilization
shall spend the winter hourly engaged in collecting
every species Of intelligence calculated to improve
the age, and to advance the true civilization OF our
species, far regards our Social political, reii-
gious and commercial institutions. During my resi-

Of what is passing before me, belong not TO James

ages Socrates &C., erdeavor to dress up the events
and thoughts, and principles, in the most pleasant,
airy, and engaging raiment.
In taking my second voyage to Europe, such is my
intention in the bref-l shall enlarge and extend
the programme Of my purposes, at occasional inter-
walls, up to the day of sailing. To facilitate my pur.
poses in Europe, am promised letters Of introduc
tisn to some Of the highest quarters in London,
Paris and elsewhere. This is, however, a mere
matter Of courtesy. On my last visit to Europe, with
out a single letter Of introduction, except ono,
found no difficulty, but rather facility, in getting
quainted with highly respectable and intelligent
people Of all classes and ranks. To my surprise
found that among the most influential persons, my
name was not altogether unknown-and had invita-
tions from various parts Of Europe to visit their
wonders Of art nature. But notwithstanding TIM
position in which may find myself placed, should
be peasedto receive letters Of introduction from per-
sons this country 10 their acquaintances in Europe
whether in England, France, Italy or Germany
Such letters may be of some advantage in enabling
me the better, and more quickly TO collect and to
communicate that species Of mutual information
that NAV be useful TO both nations and both conii-
Bents. II European can give me valuable informa-
ton, can repay il by giving him information equal
~ valuable the resources, institutions and charac-
ter this new and growing land.
With these views, l shall feel obliged TO every
person. in any respectable rank Of life, who viii give
me special letters Of introduction to their friends
relations in any part Of Europe. shall use then
discreetly and honorably.
In leaving this country for while, leave my
Newspaper establishment in able and compe,en
hands-in the hands Of a corps Of editors and othe
smpiopfs whom have trained for the special pur
pose and who are imbued with the same spirit o
enthusiasm for the elevation Of the press which has
for the last few years, grown with my growth snt
strengthened with my strength. In my Office, every
branch is conducted with much system as Napo
leon managed his concerns For the next year, M
particular movement in political affairs here requires
my personal attention care. From every appear
ance Mr.. Van Buren, will be reelected to the presi
dency, and General Scott will most unqsestionably
succeed him. As one ofthe earliest friends Of Gen
Scott, and ardent admrer Of his public character
deem the best policy for his friends throughout
the Union, keep aloof from all political contest,
for the next two years Mr. Clay will be run and
defeated. The contest about TIE subtreasury, OF
any other question that parties quarrel about, Is not
worth rush. The series ~ financial disasters that
have distracted the country, are the offspring OF the
action q both parties. Both are alike guilty. Time
only can cure the malady-and FIVE years are wanted
70 effect the purpose by electing General scstt and
changing radically the dynasty in power.
In this respect, therefore, there is nothing special
that requires my presence here; and while NV ,p,.
pog(s are competent for all other tasks shall he in
