The Hon. James Buchanan arrived in town on
Wednesday last, a visit to his relatives His re-
ccpuon by our citizens distinguished by cordiaI-
~ and plain Republican simplicity. Mr.. Buchanau
declines all public manifestations Of regard prefer
ring to meet his felloB-cltizens in private manner
divescd Of all show and parade, His position as
candidate for the highest official station on earth will
not permit him 10 adopt any Of those means so often
used by candidates to blind the people and secure
their suffrage. On Thursday evening the Meadyile
Band paid their respects to Mr. b and performed Sc
verai Of their best airs. When next we meet our
great Pennsylvania, may he be in the White House
at Washington, President Of the Republic.

Duty exports Of .7muiem produe, 10 Great Britain

The reduction Of the Tariff, &c. gives ey-
dence that wiser counsels are prevailing in the
British Government; tut she must show more
wisdom by a stll gr, alter reduction of duties,
before our States will be enabled TO pay the
debts due her subjects.
For a Government that, for the last century.
has been preaching T" Free Trade r' TO all the
world, we think that her present rate Of dut es
shows pretty essentially wide difference be-
tween preaching and practice and she must
still further reduce her preaching to practice,
before our States will be enabled to cancel all
their debts And we hope The British Govern
ment, and especially the British holders of Anne
rican stocks, will bear is important fact con-
stanty in mind.
II is often said, and repeated, that we export
as much TO Guat Britain as we impor from
her. How happens il, then, that the States owe
her so much Th have cert. inly import, a
pretty considerable debt, which they now want
the privilege of canc,lling by exports.
Great complaint is made by a portion Of our
people against our high tariff but how doe. i,

Compared with the appearance it presented some
few weeks ago, or even less time, our city Is now
quite deserted village. The greater part of the
immense army of ofce-seekers have departed, and
returned to their homes, with all the varied feelings
of Joy, suspense, and disappointment. A few lag
here yet. catching, like drowning men, at straws,
and still hoping against hope Well, let them go !;
their loss is not felt except, perhaps, among the no.
tel keepers and 1t is much to be doubted whether
even TO them IL Is quite disaster.
Robert Hunter, Esq, the President of the Canal
Bank in this city, died this morning. He was
wealthy and successful merchant, and muchrespec
ted among our citizens. His disease was afiec-
ton of the heart.
In the SENATE to-day, a long debate, involving the
right Of petition, was had on the subject OF petit
ton praying for the passage of a stop law 1t was
from Herkimer county, and asked for the passage of
temporary law for eighteen months.
Mr.. WRIGHT laid on the table concurrent reso-
luton for the final adjournment of the Legislature
on the 18th of April.
In the ASSEMBLY to-day, the committee reported
bill introduced on notice, respecting the rights of
married women: The report Of the New York In
stitutlon for the Blind.
A bill was passed relative to the transmission of
public monies in the treasury. Mr.. ALLEN explained
that the law imposing the mill tax did give spe-
chic directions as to the manner in which the money,
when collected, should be transmitted. The reso-
lutons relative to General Jackson's flne were re-
ceived from the Senate. After long debate on a
point OF order, to whether the resolutions should
not lie over one day-as giving rise to debate-under
the rule, the resolutions adopted by vote of %

The religious excitement that has prevailed in this
city for the last four weeks, is the most wonderful
and strange in its effects that can be imagined
Some of the most influential and wealthy OF our c-
tizens have been carried away by it, and members
OF the legislature, too. As yet, there is no abate-
ment of it, SIMON

SIR
trust and hope that in the case Of Mckenzie, you
will not be brow-5eaten, either by editors or epau-
lettes. Without protesting any particular admiration
for yourself feel indebted you for your disposition
to give the and their side of the case fair play
and for the opportunity thereby afforded me of
ing both sides of the case Captain Mckenzie and
hs friends, instead of pettishly Directing to such
course, ought, if they conscious of perfect rect
tude of conduct, to solicit it, Truth can lose moth
ing by thorough investigation, and thorough in
vesgaton can only be had by the friends Of the par
ties being invited to scrutinlse the examination.
In Court Martial, consisting as it does of board
Of officers interested, to say the least, in maintain
ing to the largest limit their authority, the ad
vantage must be all the side of the officers, the
disadvantage, all on the side of the men, To neutra-
se this natural tendency, as far as may be, and
show the world, that the Court will conscien iously
do Justice to the men, every member OF it should
take pains to show disposition to listen in kind
and frank spirit to the side of the Such
would be the prompt bearing of honorable men, I'M
der the circumstances.
have however, been under the impression from
the beginning, that (such impartality being hardly
possibe) the could never be fairly tried except
before civil court. The witnesses examined before
the Court Martial are seamen who possess an in
stinctive awe and respect for uniform. Their edu-
cation entirely insults them and ncapacitates them
from giving an unvarnished statement before court
composed of their superiors
They will in their testimony before such court,
favor the side which exonerates the officer The
best of them might seek to apologize for the offences
of their messmates; the best Of them, in Doing SO,
would probably avoid any condemnation OF the con-
duct of their officers.
Before sailor can be examined on terms which
will elicit his unbiased view of the case, he must be
beyond the reach of the influence which the mere
presence of naval officers will have over him he
could not probabyn any court, escape that influence
altogether but it would have far lessforce in civil
court than in court martial
Accept again of our thanks for your independence
in this case. We do not unqualifedly condemn the
conduct of Commander McKenzie-we wait for the
whole truth. We cannot, however, accept Of any
other mans perception of that and Captain Mcken-
zle cannot be exonerated in the public opinion, IT he
be exonerated at all until they are in full posses
sion OF the entire defence OF the men and then
friends, as well as Of that Of Capt Mckenzie and his
] friends MANY.
