GEN. GREEN.-Dedr ST:-In my letter to
you, dated May 81, covering money for subscri-
bers to the ''Pilot," l rather incidentally men
toned at the close, in abiding to the character
of the subscribers, that two of the gentlemen were
connected with the family of the Hon. Dixon Fl.
Lewis. The fact was simply mentioned to your
self, while l did not for moment suppose it
would ever meet the public eye. AS it is, it may
be said by some, through certain motives, that
even MIR. Lewis own family connections are ar
rayed against him-and by others, from different
motives, that they wish publicly to make party
use of the fact. Not farther is the East from the
West, than this frorn the truth. 1t is however
tru;, that the two gentlemen, alluded to in my
letter, entertain political opinions Offering from
those of Mr. Lewis, but MOTTO the least Interrupt
ton of the most asicablc intercourse and kindly
fceIings-nor would they for any consideration,
wish to make public of the fact, to the sub
serviency of party interests $50 =. p
1t is due myself to state, that the letter was
written in haste, under the impulse of the mo
ment, supposing that yourself alone would see it.
1t is due the two gentlemen, relations of Mr.
Lewis, to say that while they simply authorized
me to forward their names and money for the
Pilot, they knew nothing of the character of the
contents of my letter until it appeared in the
Pilot. The publication of the main part Of the
letter was well enough; but had you been aware
how the publicity of the last paragraph might
affect the parties concerned, 1 believe you would
at least have omitted that, the public appearance
OF which, l exceedingly regret, and hope that
this letter will place the matter in its true light
In haste, YOURS truly

In Senate, Mr.. Benton moved to take up the

Mr.. Tappan moved to take up the joint reso-
luton, authorizing the exchange of American
weights with foreign powers.

have been in this city few days, and | as
sure You our political prospects are bright. The
destructive measures of the Administration meet
with no response from the mass of the citizens
of this place. There are, however, a few per-
sons who carry out, in erteHso, practically as
istration. Fhey met at Holahans, their head
quarters, last night, draft toasts for the coming
4th, but being unable to agree as TO the merits
of Gov. Porter,-one portion wishing to laud
him as patriot and statesman, while the others
wished TO anathematize him as 4 'sBanlk-bought
traitor" &c,-their destructiveness showed itself
in fierce battle, which resulted in broken
crowns, and bloody noses and faces. But which
party was victorious, am unable to say. This
is ''union and harmony with a vengeance.
Comparing the present appearance of the wharves
and business streets of the city, with their APP
pearance six years ago, most melancholy con-
trast, chilling, death-like inactivity, cannot
fail to strike the observer as the result of the
comparison. Will the madness of our rulers
never cease2
The MouAt Vernon House, from which 1

Race SITS. 1t is large and commodious, and is
kept in excellent style. Neatness and order pre-
vail throughout. The proprietor, MIR. Buck, is

A NICE PoINT.-In Persia, at the fruit gar
dens, the way in which they ascertain the guam
tity eaten by any one Individual, is rather origi-
nal. They weigh the person when he enters the
garden, and when he goes out, charge the differ
ence. One day fellow went in with his pocket
full of pebbles, which, after he had eaten fruit
enough, he threw away. Of course, he weighed
less when he went out than when he went in
They could not account for the phenomenon, and
he insisted on being paid for the weight he had
lost by remaining in the garden. The fact long
puzzled the wise men of Caboul, the city of
00,0o0 gardens, as it is called.

TRIUMPH OE HE fklO1LEH
There's virtue yet to shield the fame,
of every honor'd PATRIOTS name,
Who rallied round our country y cause
And bled for freedoms equal laws.
That cause is sacred still to those,
Who battle 'gainst insidious foes,
And firmly in the breach now stand,
The champions of patriot band.
Owho would not enlist cncc more,
And nobly die, could he restore,
The triumph of an honest man,
Ipersuch s'paraste as Van?'
His petty intrigues, undisguised,
fBy any honest heart despised,)
Are open now to public view,
Marking each tOrtuOus footstep thro'
long career of tact, and guile,
Which gave him fame and wealth the while.
But soon this borrowed plume is gone
In which Democracy was shown,
GGreen's Pilot" shows this SchemeT now,
With wither'd wreaths upan his brow.
mot wreaths of honor, nobly wOn,)
'Fhe laurel crown of HdTTiSos' {!
But chaplets such as should be worn,
BY Blair! or Kendall's head adorn.

MADEIRA too might wen entwine,

(For such trio 'aeath the skies,
Mere vet were known, for coming lieS)
Their tame for inflmy is known,
Where'er the extra Globe has shone,
And "Sanlite," the Statesman moves,
Deep stained in guilt "each lie approves"
Nor sense, nor decency attends,
To aid them in their selfish ends.
These are the minions bought and sold,
Whose love of country, is its gold,
Who chained to servile duties, claim
Not honor, nor a Patriots mama.
Such are the men "Van Buren's own,N
Who bow submissive at his throne,
The filwning sycophants of pow'r,
10 ieare him in his trying hour
THAT hour approaches! and from atar
The storm of vengeance and of war,
Is heard from every hill and vale,
roice at which these tyrants quail.
And now the signal banners fly,
And hope beams bright from every eve,
While sounds the battle cry to those,
Who struggle with inridiols foes
The contest ended, soon will rise
Their shouts of victory to the skies,
Proud triumph DER the office slaves,
Ofpensi0n'd traitors, coIrdTds, knareS,
For such are all that host who bow
Submissive TO the tyrants now.
No soldier, freeman, patriot, can
Support the Federal schemes of Fan.
No standing ARMY purse, nor scrip!
Give us our old commander Tip.
Our pilot in the strife is he,
Whose bark has peril'd many a sea-
And rode out, many a furious gale,
Through shoals, where Others dare not sail.
Then TO sold Tip" Wen give the helm
These PiTdtes he will soon n'erwhelm
= While proudlJ from his mast will stream,
Our eountry'a stars with radent CLEAN.
Thus safely moOr'd secure, will stand

While every heart will bless the hour,
When Harrison, assumed his power.
