which Mr.. Consul Trist degns to edify and instruct
his particular friends in private letters. Net one
word in to any Of the specific charges; not
rendered for his most strange and oppres-
sve conduct in the instances we have pointed out.
Not a syllable in explanation Of the slave system
carried by papers furnished TO slavers at Havana.
Not syllable in short any subject explanatory Of
those points, in relation which the eye Of public
is lowering him; but long, falsome,
sgotstica ridiculous string Of assertions about his
own superlative wisdom, and foresight and know
ledge and law learning, and pious habits and abusive
statements Of the ignorance Of all bis predecessors,
and Of almost every body else but himself. Mr..
Trist may be man Of the "strietest prudence, as
the Globe says, but we doubt il most seriously.

what we say. 81 have spoken" says the thunder,

was going to Tyburn, "and now ! am going TO be

and oppressively, and he must be recalled
for his conduct. sand reform will follow says
Mr.. Trist. That's what we say. Reform will fol-
low and Mr.. Trist will be reformed out Of Office.
The Globe says:-"we doubt not he will cover with
shame and confusion those who seek to excite pre-
judce against him for the stern justice with which
he.rebuked oppression at Havana"
Why, what ridiculous nonsense and mockcry is
this in the face Of the cruel and heartless and un
Just, and oppressive Imprisonment Of Capt. Wendell,
and Of the labor in chains Of the crew Of the will

for the oppressor and the liar, and the hypocrite
How does the assertion OF the "Glsbc" square with
the contemplate sseaking lying, shutting, and eva
sive conduct Of those in Office at Washington when
Capt Wendell went on there for redress, and en-
deavored to find some that bound in be nds
to be responsible for Trsts conduct in order that
he might sue them. and obtain reparation.
Mr. Trist desires the battle to be transferred to
Congress. Aye aye Take care he does not re exon
without his host. The next Congress will not act
like the slavish minions Of party, having no mind,
