~ Willis's last letter is dated at Frankfort

CO Willis's last letter is dated at Frankfort, |
Germany. He describes the houses in the su
burbs as all white and wooden, thus differing with
American cities, he says:
"The poor, in America, live in the outskirts of
our forns, aud almost every American capital is
thus set in ring of misery. The poor of Ger.
many on the contrary, live in the narrow streets
of the to,cns centre, and the suburbs of Frankfort
for example, are ring of gardens--a public pro-
menade of strawberries, flower beds, and four
tains completely encircGng il. Outside of this
gardenring the wealthy build their houses, ha-
wing the open neighborhood of the public pro.
menade between them and the poverty OF the ci-
tys heart. The German capitals owe this adj.
vantage of course. to their having been walled
cities, the rim OF the moat afording the unoccu.
pied space converted into promenade.
The climate is said to be particularly healthy
One other advantage peculiar to Frankfort if
one dies here, he has the choice of returning to
| life, for two days longer than elsewhere. Bodies
are taken 10 the crmctry, and after they are left
/ by their friends they are laid out with bell
! pull attached to the fingers by long thimbles.
! The least agitation of the hand, rings bell and
brings a waiter. This kind of half way house
/ between death and the grave, would, | believe
have been stopping place for many traveller
who has ''goue on am sorry to say did no,
see the arrangements of this humane provision
| The caution and custom should be universal, ant
should like to have material for saying NOR,
about it,"
Frankfort, he says, is more the home of th'
Jews, than any other city out of Palestine. H
speaks of the young Jews and Jewesses, as ben!
excessively handsome. r'heir dwellings, how
ever, display anything but comfort or taste
Their houses are wooden and unpanted and pre-
sent, he says, the color of smoked herring. Speak
ing of Madam Rothschild, the mother OF the bank
er.prnces, he says:
; 1.-TWO of three of the most splendid palaces
; Frankfort belong to her sons, and of course,
she chose it. she might be lodged as few can a

A ~ e rtcAM Facts.

II is among the worst onens OF the day, that
we have in the United States no national feel.
ing, no genuine love of country. The traveller
in other lands finds everywhere the institutions
anc productions OF people priced by themselves,
though they may be condemned by strangers.
Here the order is changed. lfany work in liter.
a;urc, art, or science, is by an American, it is
set down by the mob Of gentlemen who talk of
such matters, as altogether worthless, or as
deserving favorable regard only ON accoun, of
cite q few facts, admitted by all the world a.
broad, for the benefit of this sort of people.
Imprimis: The greatest man, stake him for
al in ALL" of the last hundred years, was George
Washington, an American.
The greatest metaphysician was Jonathan
Edwards, an American.
The greatest natural philosopher was Benja.
min Franklin, an American.
The greatest of living sculptors is Hiram
Powers, an American.
1'he greatest of living poets is William Gull

The greatest of living historians is William
ii. Prescott, an American.
The greatest living ornithologst is John
yames Audubon, an American.
The greatest of living noveists is James Fen.
Dinore Cooper, aa American.
The greatest living painter, in por.raiture, is
Henry iRnsn. an American.
There has been no English writer in tise pre-.
sent age whose works have been marked with
more humor, more refinement, or more grace,

The greatest photographer and philologist.
since the time Of Johnson, was Noah Webster
an American.
The inventors, whose works have been pro
ductiye of the greatest amount of happiness Il
mankind, in the last century, were Godfrey

If one OF these facts or estimates is doubted
we can prove them by foreign authorities, AM

When her "Zophiel" was published in Eng

saying that Southey was trying to pass it of g
the work of an American poetess-"as if ther
was ever ,coman capable of writing such
poem'" southey himself declares her to
the "most impassioned and most imaginative
all poetesses I" and there is no critic who's
opinion is worth reading, who will dissent fro
his Judgment. Maria Brooks is an Amer

limited States Senator.

The election of Hon II. s. Turney, TO the Sen
ate of the United States, by the Legislature of
Tennessee, in opposition to the regular caucus
nomination, has caused considerable excitement
in that state A number Of Intellectual ballots
were had, when the wings voted for MIR. Turney
aod secured his election, he receiving some half
dozen democratic votes
Mr.. Turney has for many years been leading
democrat in Congress, and was one of the demo-
cratic candidates for electors at the last Presi-
Dental election.
The Washington Union, the organ of Presi.
dent Po.k's administration, in reference 10 the
election saws;
at is 10 be regretted that the democratic party
in Tennessee suffered themselves to BE- devdcd
and distracted in the election Of public ser.
van, To sr,vo them in the honorable post o' Sen.
a,or ot the United States and we much regret
the ordinations and recrimins,ions growing
ont ofihis division. But now that Mr.. Turnev
has been elected. we rccur to his past public
history and services in the democratic party, and
find IN them an undoubed assurance that he
will conrirur the advocate and representative
Of the principles and party which he has so long
and faithfully esponscd."
| Many of the democratic papers Of our own
( state. acting upon the endorsement of Mr. Tur-
i nry by the official organ. have congratulated
the public in his election and vo4ched for his adj
herence TO democratic principles. This is all
very we'll. The wings have a constitutional
right to participate in the election of Senator
aud when, being unable to elect one of their owr
party to that distinguished station, they prefer
one democratic candidate to another, we never
could understand how such preference metamor
phosed him into a whig. The journals to which
we have referred do not think that such has been
or will be the in regard TO Mr. Turney, ant
We fully coincide with their opinion. But som,
of them who very jealous in echoing the ap
proving voice of the Unor, were loudest AM
fercest in their denunciaton of Gen. Cameron
except that he received three times as many de
{ mocra,c votes as Mr.. Turney. Such condnc
, Svil be considered very inconsistent abroad b'
at home, where objects and motives are see
more clearly, it assumes more odious chara'
ter. Denuacia,ion and persecution are as fol
egn 10 the principles of democracy as they ar
hostile 10 their success; and we hope these scril
= hlers will hereafter employ their time in lect,
: ring their readers upon the virtues Of consster
cy, instead of vituperating Gen. Cameron who
mmeasurably above them in everything tn;
l. constitutes sound democrat and true heartt
5 patriot. Every man in the state whose mind
y not poisoned by envy and selfshness, will "rec'
to his past public history and service in the d
h mocratic party, and find in them an und"ubt,
ST assurance that he will continue the advocate al
j. representative Of the principles and party whi
10 he has so long and faithfully espoused."

Ma BrouASaN. The Washington Union, al
luding TO paragraph in the Harrisburg Union OF
design TO "sop" Mi Buchanan out of the Ca
binet, holds the following language
ave suspect no of any such intrigue, nor
do we believe in its existence. We certainly
will lend no countenance 10 il. We desire no
change. We desire Mr.. Buchanan 10 remain
where he is, because he is eminently calculated
for the duties of Secretary Of State, and because
our foreign relations are in such condition as 10
demand the services OF our ablest and most expe.
rienced citizens. No man now understands them
well as Mr. Buchanan. II is our ardent wish
to see him contributing his best exertions to-
wards the development of these foreign relations.
which he has so thoro ughly studied. We desire
him TO remain in the cabinet, that the Wing par
ty may have no opportunity TO speculate upon
the instability of the administration, or any
change in our public councils. We go further,
and say that We know of no man in Washington
who wishes him to resign his Secretaryship,
We are satisfied that it depends altogether upon
himself whether he will leave the cabinet and
our own decided impression at present is, that
there will be no change at ALL"
