SIR In common with all civilized nations, the
people of the United States have learned with horror
the attrocious crimes imputed To the Jews Of Damas
Gus and the cruelties of which they have been the
victims The President fully participates in the pub
lie feeling. and he cannot refrain from expressing
equal surprise and pain, that in this advanced age
such unnatural practices should be ascribed ia any
portion ofthc religious world, and such barbarous
measures be resorted to in order 10 compel the con-
fesson Of imputed guilt The offences with which
these unfortunate people are charged, resemble too
much those which, in less emil ghtened times,
made the pretexts of anaieal persecution or merce
nary cxtorion, ts permit doubt that they are equal
ly usfounded
The President has witnessed, v it'll the most lively
subtraction, the efforts Of several OF the Christian
Governments OF Europe. to suppress or mitigate
these horrors, and he has learned with no common
qualification tho partial success lie Is moreover
anxious that the active sympathy and generous in
terposition OF the Government Of the United States
should not be withheld from benevolent an object,
and he has accordingly directed me TO instruci You
to employ, should the occasion arise all those good
offices and efforts which compatible with discre-
ton and your official character, the end that JUS
tice and hum1aity may be extended to these perss'
cuted people, whose cry Of distress has reached our
shores. ann, ar,

These are the men who were the loudest in de-
nouncing the Herald, on the score Of its immortality
and impurity 1t might be supposed that IL they
had believed in the ribaldry which they were heap
ing upon ms in the early part Of the summer, they
would at least have omitted to publish articles from
our paper This 10 not the first time that they have
appropriated the fruits of abors and enterprise
without credit Of any sort. We can put our finger
on numerous paragraphs containing information
given BY "a. exclusively, which the Express has Ia
ken without scknowl edgment. In their commercial
articles our IDEAS stolen with the most unblush
ing audacity. There is not single mind in the
whole concern capable Of conducting a respectable
paper; and they mcany fitch our thoughts, and then
deform them by their confused and awkward phra-
oloey in order 70 make them pass for their own.

JEFFERSON WIG FESTIVAL.

The Gathering, OF the Wings, in Jefferson pas
sed off in splendid style, on Thursday last We
have little doubt that surpassed any thing o. the
kind, ever before known in Virginia. The Berke-
ley procession left Marinsburg, about seven o'clock
and arrived upon the ground about eleven. Thou
sands Of persons were already the ground; and
every road, leading To the spot presented moving
mass of men and women, horses, carriages, ban
uers, bands of a.ic log cabins aud all the insignia
Of the different clubs and associations, which came
10 swell the assembage. Sundry efforts were made
TO calculate the number present. Information was
sought from the Marshais, of the numbers IN their
respective professions. and the conclusion fully
warranted that not less than ten thousand were
present. Aftss the meeting had been called to Of
der and the speaking had com meneed, procession
from Loudoun. numbering seventeen hundred, ar
rived; and, after mingng with the crowd, we
could not perceive that the mass was greater than
before.
ANDREW HUsrEa. Esq, the Wing Elecior, in
iredvccd the Speakers to the meeting. David Hof-
man, Charles H. Puts, John r, Kennedy, Govern.
or Pope, and John W. Murdaugh delivered thrill
ling addresses. Reverdy Johnson, Esq, common
ced his address at so late an hour, that it was
thought best TO adjourn, to the Court-Hall, in
Charlestown, where the speaking resumed,
after night, and the fire kept up by MIR. Johnson,
Col. Smith, Of Harrison county, and others.
We had not an opportunity Of procuring the ne
cessary information, for detail of the proceedings;
but, will probably take opportunity to present
them hereafter.

BANKS versus STATE.

| In conse qience of failure. on the part of the
Union Bank Of Mississippi, TO redeem its s bills
the Governor, of tho State, has issued proclama
ton, declaring the corporate powers and privileges
Of that institution forfeited. The President OF the
Bank has issued a counter Proclamation stating
that the Bank feels to be it's duty TO declare that
the proceedings Of the Executive unconslitu-
tonal. Here rests the matter, at present. We
do not know whether the Union Bank is such a
monster" as to render precerous the Liberties of
the Nissi>sippians; but. infer from the procla-
nation Of the Bank president, that i. has incli-
nation TO submit to " Executive usurpaton."
The Governor, by the same weapon-his proca-
matiou--has killed two other of the Mississippi
corporations, the Vicksburg Bank, and the Grand
Gulf Railroad and Banking Company.

LOUISIANA ELECTION-AGAIN.

The question 10 settled--and MooRE is elected
as the article below, from the Baltimore American,
demonstrates.
Looking at the State in which this contest took
place, and the arguments which used BY our
opponents, and the expectations which they enter.
taincd-this election is an important one, and its
results are highly gratifying to the Wings Louis
iann, which, relatively, is the greatest slave State
in the Union has declared for Harrison Our own
State has already done This mikes two States
south of Mason and Dixons line, which have de-
serted the camp of the Magician, and come
cquivocally for the Hero Of Nouh Bend. Two,
out of three which voted, north Of that line, have
done the same Connecticut and Rhode Island
Thus, the elections prove that the Wing candidate
for the Presidency is equally popular with both The
great interests of the uaon: high iIbute Of heir
confidence in his patriotism and honesty! In the
Louisiana canvass the usual slsrdeis from that Of
cowardce up the white slavery charge,
constantly uttered; and the sin of abolition
peciay laid at the door Of Gen Harrison. The
inconsistency of the charges Of voting sell while
men into slavery, and al the same time Of adyoca
ting the freedom of the slaves, had effect to re-
strain the foul tongue OF systematic detractionbut
every engine which interest, leur, OF mistaken con-
fdence could bring TO bear was used in The contest.
The Wings abroad had their understanding, as
they did, the peculiar ifrtabiIity of the South on
the subject of Abolition and fearing, that that IL
ri,abiIity would lead many of their brethren in Lou
isiana to believe the charges boldly vocfara,ed
against Gen. Har isos, without proper exanIina.

erto nobly upheld, through want of confidence in
the soundness OF candidate or vital sub
ject "A this slight faltering Of the Wings mani
tested itself the Growing Of the Locos Increased,
until they, in anticipation, won complete victory
in Louisiana.-(For proof, artiee on
first page, from the National Intclgencer.)
The fight came the Wings triumphed, far
beyond their expectations. Hard cider and log
bins popular among the sugar and cotton
plantations, in the praires of tho West, or among
the yankees of New England. The contest proves,
too that what relied upon, by our opponents,
their most potent weapons in the South, are
harmless missiles; ihat the People have enlisted
in the contest, and are resolved to do die With
out regard to sectional feelings and that, again,
the DRAGGING and Growing OF the LOcos have en-
ded as was loreseen, in disappointment That
disappointment is only be increased by the cleo
