We are still encouraged in the hope that when
the President returns, John Jones will come
out for Polk and Dallas; although we know that
the President relies and is willing to balance his
luck against the field.
The new Boston Collector, Mr.. Williams, who
has been on official visit to the President, re-
turned yesterday on his way to his duties and
emolumenis. Office hunters, ahoy

will operate advanlageously to wine drinkers FROM

cents per gallon upon Portuguese wines.
few Struggling otiics-seekers remain among
us, awaiting the return Of the Captain. The good
Captain is nearly tired Of this inc.ssant knocking

that 1t is his purpose AS tar as available, henceof

crime, degradation and disease, among the free
blacks Of the North compared with the slaves
Of the South Without the trouble Of the inves,i-
CATION. Mr. Calheun's point might be conceded and
accounted Tor. A great proportion oil the superan,
nuated blacks of the South, and by the expulsory
local laws Of the slave Sta es, are driven into The
North. Yet, in spite OF hs, the slaves OF the South
are incomparably happier than the tree people Of
color on the cold side of Mason and Dixon We
have studied their, condition from observation, in
| both relations. The slaves Of the South are the
happiest race Of people under the sun hut they
have not the less been the great drawback to our

establish the abstract re-exhibit Of the census and
it will be accomplishing great service to pnllan-

| Mr.. Calhoun leaves a week or ten days on
private visit to South Carolina. He is the great
moving principle Of the administration. AL
ready has he infused throughout the several de-
parients and the general operations OF the govern
