The comparative success of these two steamers, in
crossing the Atlantic, their recent passage from
Liverpool, ha, excited much interest and still is
the subject of such controversy that We have been
induced to examine the matter carefully, and present
a comparative statement
We supposed that, malgre our pride, we had con-
ceded, in this instance, an advantage to the Bos-
toniaHs over US, but few days since, correspon.
dent of penny paper gravely attempts to prove that
the President actually sailed twenty miles per day
more than the Acadia.
In the papers, the log of the President shows the
distance run each day from her departure till her
rival and gives 300 miles That of the Acadia,
shows enly the distance for eight days, and gives
1900 miles, which, by the penny paper writer, is di
yided by 10 days, the time occupied in performing
the whole distance which, instead Of $500, is 24OO
miles.

SIR Since the departure of the President steamer, the
operations in this cotton market have been extensive The
demand from the trade has been below erag but that

fortnight the latter purchased 10000 bales and
sisted by exporters the extent of 5000 bales
The trade bought rather freely the period and
advance of to sd took place in the lower qualities of

During the latter half Of the month the business has
very moderate, and the speculative demand has subsidized
though with little dimunition in the frmness of the
market The preference the part of spnners for
the inferior qualities met with but limited supply
the part of holders during the last week very extreme
prices have been obtained The better qualities though
comparatively neglected held steady prices Upon
the whole considerable confidence is entertained to the
maintenance of the present prices of short sped coons

IL NAV be emarked that the distance, as calcula-

great discrepancy between our calculation and the
log OF the President. We disposed TO think that
the officers Of the President omitted, on casting the

by the paddles deduction Of one-tenth is made for
which in the Great Western, from the apparent
speed. Ifthis should be done in the log ofthe Pre-
sident il would leave 300 miles, within frsc-
ton OF oar calculation. We are strengthened IN
this view oftkc case from comparison Of the log Of
each vessel. Thus, on 18th August, the Acadia
shows O5 westing, claiming 25i miles. On 18th Of
SAINT month"; the President shows only 5.26 westing,
and aims 2J6 miles, evidently a mistake. n the
one-fenth were deducted, il would be correct From
the above statement we may conclude that the Aca-
dia exceeded the President in speed l-3 miles per
hour.
With boats Of equal speed, New York has nothing
TO fear from competition, since Boston is nearer to
Liverpool only POO miles.
The Acadia is said TO be beautiful specimen Of
naval architecture. She was built by Mr. John
Wood, Port Glasgow, on the Clyde. He enjoys, de-
servedly, the highest reputation in Great Britain for
his steamboat building, both regards their speed
and durability, and we doubt not that the Acadia
will add TO it.

POST !!

GEN. HARRISON, the able statesman, and
Patriotic, selfsacrifcing defender of his country
has been BASELY and most unrighteously
sLANDERED, by that tool of Custom House
corruption, the Waldoboro Patriot-a most reck-
less and mendscious print, and entirely unworthy
OF the least confidence, as its late course of A.
buse Of Gen. Hsrrson, amply shows. We do
not THINK 1t necessary to make much comment
upon such rascallty-it carries upon its face. its
own antidote. From that filthy sheet of last
week, we copy the following choice morsel of
loco-focoism, headed "The man with one Idea
lmore than the Patriot editor has, according to all
appearances,> and place opposite to it "The HON.
age OF Justice" which amply refntes every charge
which base and periured press, has yet been
able to bring against the Hero of the Thames.
The reader will decide whose word is of the
most consequence, or should be entitled to the
most weight, with people of common sense, that
OF the Patriot, or the solemn records of TEN of
the most distinguished sages and patriots, that
have ornamented this country. Whom shall We
peiieve! The editor of the Patriot it is true, has
his "loaves and fishes Amounting to some fro
thousand dollars year, (Which if the sub.trcasu.
ry bill becomes law will be equal to lust about
-FOUR THOUSAND dollars year, to look af-
ter, and we are aware that to secure this nice
little "inciiental benefit" is of much more impor.
lance, in his estimation, than the very small and
Insignificant matter of doing justice to the char
acter of VETERAN, whose life has been de voted
to his coUNTRY's SERVICE, and who has never
polluted his hands his heart, with "spoi{s''
from the responsible trusts in which he has been
placed. No, the Patriot driveller has not one
single feeling in common with the brave defen.
ders of his country honor, and to subseryc his
own selfish ends he would at any time, sacrifice
him, with his Infamous, pollutng touch, even if
he might in some other way, as we'll accomplish
his nefarious designs.
The remark of the Post which is noticed pnae,
the article from the Patriot is in character with tho
every day language of that reckless journal, and
will not adding it to all the other base ISLANDERS of
the loco foco party, against GENERAL HARRIsos.
in comparison, weigh as feather, against the ar
ray of tangible and responsible evidence in thu,
opposite column.
All we ask of our readers, is, that they read il
carefully, and then judge for themselves.
