MYSTERIES OF WASHINGTON,

Our old friend, Caleb Atwater, (who is our
fread because he is every body's,) the well known
antiquarian of the West, has been among the
good people Of this city, taking notes, and faith
he's printing them, under the title of " Mysteries
of Washington" We have seen some of the
proof sheets, and find them, like their author,
sometimes grave, sometimes gay, full of out-of
the-way information, and amusing. We under
stand that the book will soon be published, and
offered for sale at rs cents per copy. We ex-
tract the following from one of the proof sheets !:
ADDRESS TO UNCLE SAM.
unfortunate old uncle you have great
many lazy, idle, worthless pets, whom you do
wrong, very wrong, to support in dleness, sloth,
and dissipation Are you sure, sir, that you are
acting the part of prudent, discreet, and excel
lent old gentleman, so long as you indulge such
pets in practices so repugnant to your better ma
ture, in your earlier years and better days! | do
not expect you TO turn them out to grass, as
Nebncliadnezzar was turned out in days Of yore !;
but certainly, the prairies of Illinois would afford
them better pasture than this sterile District
does. Alas Selden's Refractory is preferred by
them, to all the prairies of the West, blooming
with tall grasses and the most brilliant and beau
tlful flowers, and mint juep TO any other vege-
table. Of all the fowls of the air, some of them
prefer the wing of an OK, whereas others prefer
the oyster TO every other bird of passage! Pray,
sir, be wise in time, put all your sons into some
honest calling, whereby they may get an honest
living and pay their honest debts. by their indus
try, economy, and enterprise. Do this forthwith,
or you will become a bankrupt in fame, fortune,
and resources, and be compelled to take the ben
eft of the act for the relief of insovent debtors
You own great MANY large houses here, which
cost you great deal of money, but are there no
mortgages on them which may be fureclosed I
That being done, shall we not soon afterwards
your household furniture your carpets, your
table,, chairs, beds, and bedding exposed to pub
lie sale some market morning, opposite the
market house, on the avenue! Good bye, sir.
p. S.--A large lot of furniture and great
lottery wheel, from the War Office, were offered
for sale at auction the other day on the avenue.

MR. EDITOR: Have you read The letters of Cur
tus to the people Of the United States? | have
perused them with great interest, and have heard
others speak OF their pure political wisdom and
great power OF language. / would commend
them to every Wing throughout the Union.
They are brief, and are calculated, at once, 10
inform, arouse, and impel. I am not one Of
those Wings who think the victory is already
won. Who can speak with certainty of the
future? But much may be done to command
success. ACTION.

From THE SANDWICH IsLANDs-Up to the
2Oh of February no intelligence had been re-
celved of the French brig Jose Maria, which
sailed from France in November, 1872 with AZ
persons on board, including the bishop of the
Sandwich Islands, seven Roman Catholic mis-
sionaries, and ten nuns. This vessel touched al
St. Catharine's, in Brazil, and sailed thence Feb
ruary 23, lS43, since which time NOTHING has
been heard Of her, and it is feared that the YES.
sci is lost, and that all on board have persisted.
Mr.. Hooper, U. 5. commercial agent at the
Sandwich Islands, has appointed Milo CaIkin U.

Maui, an appointments which, it is said, cannot
fail to be highly satisfactory to American ship

MORE "CLAWING OFF"

The following extract from the Globe OF the
9th inst, and the editors own comment thereon,
or Interpretation thereof affords as striking an
illustration as we ever witnessed OF the bull
ly and the coward. In Shakespeare's play Of
GAPS we'll that ends WELL" is a character call
ed PAROLES, which the editor of the Globe seems
anxious to personate.
On the 9th inst, the editor said:
"No earthly consideration shall make the
Globe dupe, or an instrument in the intrigue
which has been Matched by few original ene-
mics Of MIR. Van Buren, and the Democratic par
ty, who never intended to abide the decision of
the Baltimore Convention, and who have under
taken, by secret, partial, caucus Congresses, at
tended by all the enemies of Mr.Van Buren,, with
out the knowledge of his old friends. Promising
that aue shall never be the dupe or the instrument
of this intrigue, nor support any human being
brought forward by their clandesline machna-
Of the recovery Of Texas that Mr.. Van Buren's
election is the surest way OF accomplishing their
desires"
On the 14th he thus explains his language:
ssSome of our friends in Congress are reading
the above to persons, 10 prove TO them that we
do mol intend TO support the nominee OF the
Baltimore Democratic Convention for the Presi-
dency The times are sadly 'sout of joint" when
the wisest men of our own party give such read
ngs to our articles. We are mol surprised now
at their reading of Mr.. Van Buren's letter. What
we intended to say, and what we did say, and do
say, in the above extract is, in fewer words, that
,oe 10 not support candidate brought forward
by few intriguers, who do not belong to the
Convention, and who never intended to abide
the decision Of the Baltimore Convention" Err

WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPLES OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY?


| The Spectator, in an article charging its late
brethren and associates with deserving the prin-
ciples of the party, alter noticing their abandon
ment OF what they consider the Democratic doc
trines in regard TO the Tariff, the 2lst rule in
| ternal improvements, &c, comes to the subject
OF the annexation of Texas, and says:
"And on the SIT later and greater issue of
Texas annexation, are there no principles OF
the Democratic party applicable to this subject
Is General Jackson, in opposing the Wings and
holding on to the old grounds he assumed when
he proposed by Mr.. Van Buren, his Secretary Of
State, to recover Texas, acting on right Demo-
cratic principles or not? Is il mol a truly Demo-
cratic and American doctrine that the people
who possess a country are its righlfu rulers and
possessors? Is it not a truly Democratic and
American policy to repel fore On interference in
the affairs of the American people? Are not
those, therefore, to blame for The division in the
party on this subject, who go with the Wings in
their Difference to Mexico-their denial of the
right of the people of Texas to ALLEVIATE their
territory, and pander to British interference and
control?
CHOW, on all these points the Democratic
party of the South has been faithful and true
They stand where the party has always stood.
Are they not, therefore, clear of all responsibility
for the divisions which now distract the Demo.

settle among themselves But when the Spec
tator says that !" on all these points the Demo-
cratic party of the South has been faithful and
true," we cannot help being reminded that Mr.
McDuf1ie presented in message to the Legisa-
ture Of South Carolina one of the most pow erful,
irresistible, and conclusive arguments against
the annexation of Texas to the United States
that has ever been written and one which we
do not see how he can well answer himself
Was opposition to annexation Democratic then
Was it Democratic when Mr.. Forsyth wrote to
Mr.. Memucan Hunt charge d'affaires of Texas,
rejecting her application to be annexed to the
United States? If SO, how happens it that the
very opposite is Democratic now? And how is
1t that the Democratic party of the South has
always been faithful and true" on this subject,

expected and the retirement of Mr.. Nelson, the
Attorney General, is to be looked for soon. The
