Mr. ED,roR-Having read your address to the
pubHc in this days Pilot, cannot hat respond to
vour request for &c free interchange Of opinion"
respecting your views. Your present indepen-
dent political position relieves us from all en-
barrassment and rejoice that our efforts IN
the cause of public liberty will be hereafter I'M
tralamclled by party shacldes. Every man who
knows how to appreciate civil and religious
freedom, and who knows how 10 value ire :
and independent press, may now rally around
you, whatever may be his private or personal
party politics.
1t is in view of this Independent position that
| feel at perfect liberty to express publicly my
high qualification at the permanent establish
ment of an independent press in this city, when
shall q furnish medium through which the Pro-
testant community may reach the public ear
whenevcv it becomes their duty to speak"
We have suffered long and grievously Tor the
want of such medium and cannot DOUBT oS'
that all true Protestants OF every political creed
will cordially sustain paper through which
thev may at least be heard, on subiec $. deeply
affecting the civil anu ieliSiOuS Ai'e'N~'3 Va '
whole American people.
Without committing myself to any politica
measures, or to any political course which thu
Pilot may hereafter pursue, wish decidedly t.
express my cordial appreciation Of the establish
ment in this city, of ga free and Independent
press;" and my purpose TO sustain 1t, as TAR an
so long. as it shall be conducted, in my Judgment
Alright,
You may meet, at the onset, much opposition
from interested partisans and selfish politicians
who have so long been permitted to sacrifice ou
dearest interests on the affairs OF avarice anc
ambition; but you may rest assured that ther
are thousands of good men and true connected
with both the great political parties into which
our country has been divided, who Will reJ ace
in the permanent establishment of free Pro-
testant press; and who, though they love their
! party much, love their God, their holy religion,
and their country, lore.

We give few additional returns showing
that the Harrison majority, as far as heard from

MAINE HAS GONE FOR HARRISONH

The Boston Atlas says:
In the foregoing towns the Wing net gain
since September is 772. In addition to these
official returns we have numerous reports OF
other towns from slips, letters, and passenger,
w no arrived from Maine last evening, which
show large Wing gain, so that it may be safely
estimated that the Wing majority in the whole
State will considerably exceed 1000.
We also find the following in the Portland
Adve tiser of yesterday.
HANCOCK AND WASHINGTON CON-
GRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Returns from twelve towns in Hancock and
Washington Congressional District show Wing
gain of FIFTY-TWO. Noyes wanted but 70
of an election in September, and a gain in pro-
portion to the above will elect him by about
TWO HUNDRED. -

M or ENqLAND COMPARISON.

The chief thing to be observed in the preceding re-
turn is the decrease in the stock of bullion. This is
much greater than appears the face of the returns
according TO which, the average of the thirteen weeks,

But by deduction, arrive other results; & tfen
b. combining things the latest period of the prescntre
turn and comparing the average of the four weeks end

Whether this drain of bullion will continue must de
pend the foreign exchanges, which have lately been

MODE OF MAKING SHEET LEAD IN CHINA
: lie Chinese, in manufacturing the thin sheet
lead in which their teas are imported into this
country, conduct their operation in an exceed
ing simple manner. Tht lamne is not rolled,
as, from their extreme thinness, might be sup
posed; not even hammered, as the appearance
of the surface might indicate, but actually cast
at once into the state in which we see them.
Two men are employed; one of them are seat
ed on the floor, with large fiat stone standing
at his side; his fellow workman stands beside
him, with crucible containing the melted lead;
and having poured sufficient quantity on the
slab, the other lifts the movable stone, end
placing it suddenly on the haid lead, presses it
out into fiat and thin plate, which he instantly
removes from the stone. A second quantity
of lead is poured out in similar manner, and
a similar plate formed-the process being car
ried on with singular rapidity. The rough
edges of the plate are then cut off, and they are
afterwards soldered together for use. Mr..
Waddell, Scotcbman, who witnessed the OPP
Grafton in China, applied similar method with
great success in the formation of thin plates of
zinc, for Palvanic purposes.
EAST INDIA SHlps.-The expedition OF our

that Captain Joseph Smith is to take out the
Constellation to the Brazils, and that Captain
Lawrence Kearney will then take command and
proceed to the East Indies, proves TO be incor-
| rect-and the truth, so far as we can learn it at
present, is that Capt. Storer, now commanding
the receiving ship Columbus, in Boston harbor,
will take the Constellation to Rio, and there
take command of the Frigate Potomac, and that
Capt. Kearney, of the Potomac, will proceed
with the Constellation, and the Boston, under
the command of Commander j. Ceilings Long,
to the East Indies. Capt Joseph Smith will
succeed Captain Storer in the command of the
