A COMPLIMENT OR A SARCASM?

| 1t is well known that Mr. Fillmore, Representa-
tive from New York, and Chairman of the Commit
tee of Ways and Means, very DESTROYS that Con-
gress should adjourn, Immediately after the President
vetoed the Tariff hill, and urged the members to go
| home and make no further a tempt to provide re-
venue If we mistake not, he was one of the most
strenuous advocates for djournment, and finally,
subsequent day, voted against the bill, Invested
it of the distribution proviso. On his return to
his constituents, the young men of New York held
convention at Auburn, and, among others, adopted
the following resolution
Resolved That we tender the hearty thanks of the
Wing young men of New York to Hon. Mard Fill
more and his Wing colleagues in Congress for the
ability, industry, perseverance, and success with
which, during the late protracted session. they sus-
tanned the true interests of the country-resuting in
the reform of many garing abuses of power and pa
tronage, decided retrencEment Of expenditures and
more especially in the passage Of protective tariff which
we hail as the most important and bene6cent Of the
great measures essential to the complete restoration
Of the nations prosperity.
Had Mr.. Fillmore been able TO awaken in Others
the temper which he manifested himself Congress
would have adjourned without passing any Tariff bill
whatever or any bill to provide revenue for the
Government. The vote Of thanks belongs to those
who had independence enough not to be led by such
demagogue.

INSULT TO THE PRESIDENT

The money changers, capitalists, swindlers and
cut-tbroats of that hotbed Of nquity, Wall street
New iork-aided by few honest men, gave a din
ner to Lord Ashburon, aud his suite, just before he
left for England. IL not intended that any but
the arisocracy should attend for the price of seeing
the lion fed and hearing him roar, was ten dolars
IL was decidedly more than the fun was worth We
have seen half dozen lions, elephant giraffe and
egions of monkes for two York shngs-pony rid
ing thrown In. real genuine live lord may be
worth, with the frens, dollar or so-but no more
The price answered its purpose. 1t kept from his
ordship the oar,aiiie who mighty apt 10 look at
such characters as they would at other men
/ AT the dinner the President grossly insulted-
The first toast was
" The President Of the United States"
When this was given, the British guests all rose.
but not finding their example followed Immediately
resumed their seats. 1t was drank ia insulting 81
lenoe.
Now look at the contrast. The next toast was
The Queen Of the United Kingdom Of G5ea Britain
aud Ireland
This was drank standing with three cheers
Tins was dsgraceiul and degrading If they did
not like The man, the Americans present should, at
least have shown some respect for the office he held
and not have thus thrown it at the feet of petit
coated despot We shall advert TO the subject again

GEORGE s. CURSOR, Esq, bearing dispatches
from the u. S. Minister at Mexico 10 the De-
partment of State, arrived yesterday In this
city, having left Mexico on the 18th ult, and
performed the whole distance between the two
cities of Mexico and Washington In tpenfy-
three days. This is remarkable instance oil
speed, and the gentleman deserves much credit
for the manner in which he executed his com
mission We learn from him that General
Almonte, appointed Minister to tins coun-
try, sailed day or two before him IN the
Eugenia, and may be expected in all next week.
at New York He confirms the news OF the
capture of San Antonio y the MexIcahs, un-
der General Wall; they having carried the
town while the court was in session, and broken
into the courtroom while some lawyer
was arguing case, and taken, plaintiff
and defendant, judge, jury and all, prisoners.
The belief is, that a serious attack on Texas is
intended by Mexico, and that the destination OF
the troops, assembled under pretence OF pro-
ceedng to Yucatan, is, in reality, Galveston.

MIR. STEVENSON.

The Washington correspondent OF The Rich
mond Wing endeavors to stigmatze our late
distinguished Minister at the Court of Saint
James, as thing Of gewgaws," political
popinjay" This is but in character with the
usual abuse so freely bestowed by the Wing
presses, on every man at all connected with the
great Democratic party of the Union. Mr.. Ste
vensons talents attracted the attention OF his iel-
low-citizens early in life, and that attraction has
continued to the present moment The people
of Virginia have repeatedly honored him with
their confidence, both in the State Legislature
and in Congress. His lofty patriotic course
abroad, while Minister to England, was OF a
character to confirm the good opinion entertain
ed for him by his friends. He has at least AL
ways been frank in avowing his political opini-
ons, and never concealed his views or policy
He has always assumed and maintained high
grounds, and can expect nothing less than the
SANDERS Of the Wing press.

MAIL ROBBERS ARRESTED.

The New York American states that the United
States Mail was robbed last February, between FIRE.
dericktown and Wheeling Several of those con-
cerned were arrested at the time, but two of them
succeeded in eluding pursuit
The Government officers at Buffalo, short time
back, got clue in their hands which they followed
up and the result is, that Mr.. Robinson, United
States Marshal and Deputy Sheriff Smith, accom-
panied by Mr. Patterson, Special Post Office agent,
succeeded in arresting Peter and John Hoderman,
brothers, at Drummondville, Canada, and starting
them on their way TO Maryland for trial. 1t is but
just to add that the authorities of Canada rendered
every assistance in their power to the officers from
this side

MULTICAULlS PAPER

We noticed, few days since, the fact that paper
had been manufactured at Petersburg, Virginia, from
the leaves Of the Morus Multcaulis. The Rich
mond Enquirer of Friday has the following paragraph
on the subject:
"Dr. Spencer, of Petersburg, has been polite
enough TO forward to us qure of his paper manu-
featured from the leaves of the Morus NIuItcaulis
We have printed them off with this days impression
OF the Enquirer and they will be deposited in our
office for general inspection The paper is very sul-
santial, and glossy; and singular to say that whilst
1t IS manufactured of the Chinese Mulberry, it has
the agreeable odor of the best Chinese Green Tea
we are not aware of the nature of the process en-
ployed by Doctor Spencer, nor Of the time, labor
nor expense, which may be necessary to prepare the
leaves for the paper vat, but trust that they NAV
be such as will enable the manufacturer to substitute
Them, to certain extent, for rags, which are gene
rally expensive and difficult to procure We shall
watch the progress Of this discovery with curiosity
and with interest

The wags of Virginia will be the death Of the ed
itor of the Richmond Enquirer yet What with
Mesmerism and the abduction plot the old gentle
man is demented on one, and mad upon the other
Mesmersm is bad enough, but that any sane man
should believe that il seriously contemplated to
abduct Mr. Van Buren, as was stated IN the pretended
plot of MIR. Peasants, seemed to be impossible

il will doubtless be ascertained in good time
whether the wags Of Virginia will kill the editor
OF the Richmond Enquirer or not If the ed
ltor OF the Enquirer is really "mad,n we advise
the Baltimore Patriot and the "wags of Vir-
GINA" to let him alone-there is ''method in his
Madness" and when " in the mood" no adver-
sary that we have heard of, ever got the advan-
tage Of him. AS to Mr.. Rilche's opinions on
the subject of Mesmerism, it is not expected
that his assaants should do aught but mock at
them-Christ was Knocked by the fools who did
not understand the nature of his mission-and
we believe that all who have affected 10 laugh
at the most palpable phenomena evolved by mes
merle experiments, are by no means men of
scence-at least the editor of the Patriot is not,
if we may judge from the paragraph above.
AS to the abduction plot" Mr.. Peasants has
at length published a card in the Richmond
Wing, declaring that it was hoax. This dis
claimer we expected much sooner. We knew
it must come, for the Richmond Enquirer was
fast annihlatng the paper in which the ''plot"
was disclosed, and all those supposed TO be any
wise concerned in it.
Whether or no this abduction plot" ever had
any existence in reality, must, at some future
day, be suhici 1nty known TO all men. Perhaps
it does not become US to speak Of t-partcuarly
at this time--and we auiH not
1t is obvious to our mind that MIR. Richie,
the father of the Republican Press, forced out
this disclaimer. The joke was dry one, and
the hoax an awkward affair. The country NAV

patriarch of the Enquirer, than most people are
at present aware Of May he not have lashed
a horde of destructive demons unseen by the
country, but obvious to his eagle eye) back 10
their hdeous cells, by the force of truth and the
power Of his patriotic pen? MAY he not have
abashed and deferred a band of conspirators, as
was done in this city last SUMMER When his
accomplices were frightened from their under
taking, Bolts, too, protested against the exist
