Bancroft's Grafton is humbug that ourparagraphs
are hnmbugs; and therefore, that we openly and
publicly addressed the remark which he notices, to
the distinguished orator of the day. Now, why
did not this letter-writer add, that Mr.. b. replied
with some naipsis, to the good-humored raie-
ry-"Humbug" ''Yes," was the jocular rejoin-
der, "for you must have made the speech before
you were asked to make it. Where, in the name of
wonder, did you find time to write it afterwards''
We then told him, substantially, what we said next
evening, on publishing his speech:
(By the humbug remark, which we addressed to
Mr. B., we intended to express the surprise and the
admiration which he had excited. 1t was the high
est compliment that we could pay to his talents;
though the good-humored banter in which it was
conveyed was rather coarse for the occasion:)

We have not even done justice in these lines to
the feelings of astonishment and admiration with
which we were inspired at the moment 1t was an

AN APPEAL TO THE HUMANE.

Poor Knowles, the young, amiable, and respect-
able mechanic, born in Georgetown, and raised as
an apprentice in Washington, who was killed on
Friday night by the fireworks below the Presidents
grounds, has left wife and child, who are sudden
ly reduced to the most distressing poverty by the
death of their dearest friend. Who will step for
ward to their relief What generous hand in this
populous metropolis will be extended like opening
day, to "melting charity" In the liberal city,
which we have recently left in the land Of the sunny
south, we know what would be promptly done to
relieve the widow and the orphan. Some feeling
heart-some undetermined woman, would come
forth to enlist others in their BEHALF and appeal to
the sympathies of the city for assistance The ball
being once set in motion, would rapidly pass through
every class, until the purses Of the community would

We laid before our readers, on Thursday night,
the particulars of the adoption of the resolutions Of
the United States by the Congress Of Texas. They
reached us by the extraordinarily quick passage of
the Princeton from Galveston. Need we say that
they were hailed by President Polk, the members
OF the government and the friends of annexation in
this city, with burst of enthusiasm which we have
never seen surpassed The same joyful spirit will
pervade the whole land. What energy did it impart
to this city on the 4th of July,
