HALE WILL BE OVERTHROW.

From all parts Of the State we have the most
cheering intelligence that the Hale faction is dwin-
ding down to handful. The federal party
Arc doing what they 10 sustain their Candidate
which is but llc, at best--whjle the abolitionsts
have rs yet 10 man ia the field. They will un
doubleday go for Hale, as we learn thar many of
them have expressed their readiness to give him
their support How they can do this, and maintain
consistent course, utterly unable to see; vet
we have no objection TO their supporting him as
their candidate We have never had any confidence
in the stability, much less the honesty Of the abo-
ton party; and the present election will put them to
the test. Should they have candidate of their
own, independent of Hale, he will no, receive more
than one-half the abolition yo,e--the other half will
be thrown for Hale. Should they not have can
didate, Hale will receive their vote. If that party
is honest and consistent they will have candidate
of their own, and give him their whole support. No
honest abolitionlst can sustain who has voted
to perpeiiae Slavery We again say that the honesty
and consistency OF the abolition party will be put to
the test at the September election. Whether they
have candidate not, we shall see majority Of
that party marching up at the ballot-box, and de-
posting their votes for John p. Hale. They will
vote for a man who offered proposition to Con-
gress for the annexation of Texas the Union with
the provision that half oft be fee and the other
half slare territory. They will vote for man who
with constitution ,chich makes siarery perpetual
,oiihin its boundaries. They will vote for man who
has declared the annexation of Texas unconstitu-
tional, and who has appealed to the people to sus-
tain him, while he has offered proposition TO Con-
gress for is adnitfance into the Union. But it will be
of no avail John P. Hale is regarded by every
honest politician as demagogue Of the deepest dye.
His pretended political honesty is downright hypoc-
risy, as can be shown by his whole political courses

SICKNESS ON BOARD THE FRISATE CONSTITUTION.
BY letter received in this city from on board
the U. s. ship Constitution, dated off Singapore,
Feb. Is, we learn that there has been great deal
of sickness on board that vessel. There had been
as high as one hundred and fifty on the Doctors
list with dysentery, of whom officer and thirteen
of the crew met with watery grave before they
reached Quallah Battoo. The letter says:
"The officer was Midshipman Mason; he was
buried at with the honors Of war. The captain
and all the officers did all that lay in their power to
help the sick. The captain even gave up his cabin
wrote to you from Zanzibar little thought we were
going to have so much sickness at that time. The
cause of the dysentery was owing to all hands eat
ing too much frut."--.M Y Sun.

COMMERCE. OF THE PERSIAN GULF.

The markets of the most distant parts Of the
world are rapidly opening to American enterprise
and skill; and yet strange to say, we have strong
political party in our country, who are bent upon
Quixotc crusade against the only policy which can
enable us to enter those markets successfully. We
copy the suboned from the last number of the Bos-
ton Post.
"We publish the following extract from private
letter of an officer on board the Higale Constitution,
which, we hope, may prove profitable information to
some of our cntsrprising citizens The subject too,
on which the writer speaks, Is one worthy the at
tention Of our government:

Al sea, December 26, 1874.
"DEAR s,Rs address you on subject in which
you may be directly or indirectly, to some extent,
interested if not, your influence may be of benefit

the introduction of American manufactured goods

Africa, from Sofaia northward as far as Muscat in
Asia.
Gin 1899 it was with difficulty that ten bales Of
Lowell goods found a market at reduced price on
the eastern coast Of Africa. The present year, in
consequences of the decided superiority they possess
over the foreign article, four thousand bales have
been disposed Of at enrthing profit in the ports be-

COAST OF AFRICA,


On the Ist of December we landed at Snow,
where there is quite respectable settlement of our
colonsts, who founded and built the town Of Green
vile, beautifully situated on the left bank of small
river, which there empties into the sea. The water
over the BAR at the entrance of this river is deeper
than at any of the other places we had yet visited.
To the right of the entrance is beautiful cove the
banks of which form graceful natural slope, COW
cred with rich verdure, shaded by a luxuriant and
dense growth Of forest trees-just such a spot as
lovers would select tell their tale of love- This
Illusion of moment was dispelled as soon as con-
ceived, for these beautiful shores were alive with
human beings black as Erebus, dressed in RAJ
ture's own apparel running to and fro, speaking in
language of course unknown to us, but sounding
in our ears very much like the jabbering of fright
ened apes-wbich, in fact, they very much re.
sembled, both in appearance and gestures.
After we had passed this place, we landed at the
town Of Greenvile, where the colonlsts were watt
ing on the banks Of the river ready to receive and
welcome us; for it was a cheering sight to them 10
see appear in such force. The natives hitherto
having never any of our ships of war, thought
we had none, and did believe the colonsts when
they spoke of our power These people, although
but degree better than apes, are, like their proto-
types, very mischievous and sometimes malignant.
Crowds Of them were also in attendance, their viii
lage being but very short distance from Greenve;
many came in their canoes, or swan from across
the river, where we had seen them congregated in
such numbers, 10 have q nearer view OF us. They
were all dressed in their best ATTIRE which consisted
Of piece Of muslin wound around their oins, reach
ing about one-fourth ofthe way to the knee. Their
limbs were decorated with profusion Of ivory,
brass, and iron bracelets and anklets. The men
also carried very primitive knives and spears made
by themselves, by hammering out the native ore,
which abounds in all this part Of the coast, and al
most pure as manufactured iron. Some had
muskets. The females were not so deliberately clad
as the males, but those Of the higher order made
up for their deficiency in clothing, by adjoining them
selves with profusion Of blue strung beads, which
they wore around the neck and waist. To complete
the adornment Of their persons they smeared their
faces and bodies over, in spots, with red and white
