do not know that have anything of consequence
or OF importance to communicate. The weather is
exceedingly cold and the very solstice of winter is
upon us. There is a world of suffering among the
poor Of the city, and the streets and avenues are en-
numbered by mendicants. 1t makes ones heart bleed
to witness what poverty encounters in seasons like
this.
Every thing is calm, at this moment, in reference
to the robbery of Pomeroys Express but it is said
and believe with TRUTH that important devel-
opments will be made in few days.
The Abolitionists are very busily engaged in this
city, as they are in all the New England, and some
of the Western States, in connecting measures to
operate the votes of members Of Congress in refe
renee TO the 25th rule Of the House Of Representa-
tives. At private meeting of the "Central Adolf
ton Club" held the night before last, it was Gre
solved that every member Of the present Congress
who shall vote against the proposition to abolish the
25th rule or gag, shall be deemed an object of just
vengeance, Abolitionst and every friend Of
liberty, shall be called on TO unite in an effort to
produce the prostration of such off nders'
The Abolitionsts, as party, are compact and de.
termined, well organized, and sustained and bound
together by the church and the clergy They now
call themselves the Liberty Party, and eschew the
old title Of Abolition. The South has always been
deceived by Northern politicians in reference to the
strength and designs Of the Abolition party
The murder of Mr.. Sprague, of Rhode Island, is
creating much excitement here, as well as in Rhode
Island. 1t is mysterious affair

ceedcd IN his capacity, aud from his place, as The
head Of the Foreign Depmlsnenl," to answer IT, He
did express his persona desire" for the abolition Of
slavery in Texas, and in the precise words" quoted
by the Itetttgencer But In the sentence preceding,
he used also the following precise words.n He
need hardly say, that every Effort The part Of Her
uajesys Government, would lead to that result
temptaed by his noble friend" Again: the very SEN
tence which the htethgsncer breaks off in the mid
die, concludes with these precise Words" and II
he could not consent to produce papers, or give further
Information lou. information OF his PERSONAL inten-
tons II did not arise from Indifference, but quite
contrary cause" And in the next and concluding
sentence of his speech, he assured his noble friend
that, by means of urging the negotiations, well as
oy every other means IN their power, Her MAJ sfys
MINISTERS would press the matter" At which Lord
Brougham expressed his delight, and said, that 6 the
statement of his noble friend would he received with
JOY by all nho Favorable to the object Of the .1nti-
Slavery Society"
All this the Iateliigsncer suppresses To make
the fraud still more palpabe, we give below the re-
marks Of Lord ABERDEEN, as far as they bear upon
the question at issue, in full, enclosing in brackets
the little piece of sentence with which the InteH-
ncsr was willing to trust its readers, and which
endeayored to persuade them was fair sp cimen of
the whole but which in fact, taken alone, gives
false impression to the whole:
'Ee need hardly say that every effort on the part
OF her Majestys Government would lead to that
su'' ""ieh was contemplated oy ms hoOle lriehu.
lie was sure that ne need hardly say that no
more anxious than himself to the abolition Of
slavery IN Texas and if he could not consent to pro-
duce papers or to give further nformatiOn it did not
arise from Indifference, but from quite contrary rea-
son. In the present state of the negotiations be
the two countries in question: it would not contribute
to the end they had in view if he then expressed any
opinion as to the state Of those negotiations but he
could assure his noble friend that by of urging
the negotiations, well by every other in
their power, her Maestys Ministers would press this
matter"
Ia view of all these facts, we ask if the National
InteHsencer worthy to be trusted in its represen-
ation OF affairs which concern the welfare and insti-
tutons of the South;

we have great pain in announcing the rejec-
ton of the Hon. DAVID HENsnAw as Secretary
OF the Navy, by the Senate to-day. Mr.. Hen
slaw's business habits, and his intimate ac-
quaintance with The commercial interests of the
country, seemed 10 US in peculiar manner to
qualify him for the exalted place to which the
confidence of the President had called him.
There is much speculation as to the causes of
his rejection. The exact vote Of the Senate
has not yet transpired. The country will be
impatient to know this, and we doubt not but
that the injunction o! secrecy will be removed
at an early day.
We omitted TO state that Mr.. Profit was re-
jected few days ago as Minister to Brazil, for
causes equally unknown to US. He certainly
bears, in point Of intellect, more elevated rank
than some of those who have heretofore been sent
abroad in high diplomatic stations. The whole
country awarded him talents of high order in
1910, at which time he was one of the main
pillars Of the Harrison party.

The resolution of Mr.. Parmenter, designed TO
enable the Secretary of the Navy TO resume OPP
eratons in the different Navy Yards, and TO au-
lhorize him 10 pay the wages of The mechanics,
still lies on the Speakers table. This delay is
incomprehensihls i'll Democratic Congress- A
l~,ge majority of the workmen employed by the
Government are said to be Democrats; but we
doubt very much whether they will mitquietly
to the treatment they are objected to by Demo-
cratic majority which might, in two mi nutes, en-
power the Secretary topay them their dailywages.
Any alleged misconduct, land it is only alleged,
on the part of any officer of the Government,
can be no excuse for stopping the wages of
the working-men at this ncement season, by
the large Democratic majority in Congress. The
poor mechanics have not been 10 blame-nor
should they be made 10 suffer the wrath of the
majority IN Congress, for any supposed fault of
others.
