The robbery OF MIR. Soren, noticed yesterday
was brought TO my attention by his printed handful
placarded about the streets, which is all the cogni-
zance have of the facts of the case except that he
applied at the Office of the Havre packet line to be
released from the engagement of passage of his
wife and daughter in the ST. Nicholas, to sail on the
first of June. | was mistaken as TO the amount OF
his reported loss, which, believe, was only about
5000 instead of 10000
The Sheridan is nearly filed with passengers for
Liverpool, and will sail on the 25th inst.
The Journal Of Commerce has copied your sum-
mary of information relative TO Oregon, emigration,
&c.
The early and fierce attacks made upon the
Union" by papers in this city and elsewhere
sidered uncalled for, unprovoked, and out of time
and TASTE They might have given the editor time
to blow in his new and responsible situation, before
trying to lind bills of Indictment against him, and
TO bring It and editor before the tribunal Of public
opinion. Your course, SO far, has met the cordial
support of every republican with whom have con-
versed. While you have devoted your time, during
your brief connection with the "Union," to the
firm support Of the principles of the republican
party, you have exhibited degree Of urbanity and
forbearance towards the opinions of your opponents
which has been highly commendabe, and which
should have invoked reciprocity of Difference and
respect that am sorry to say, in several instances,
has not been the case.
No one in this quarter believes that any necessity
exists for special mission to England. As long as
negotiations can be prosecuted at Washington with
any prospect of final and peaceabe adjustment the
venue" should not be changed. In assuming this
position, no sound mind, it seems to me, should
have inferred any i'll will on your part towards Mr..
Calhoun or Mr.. Van Buren,, or Mr.. any body else.
II was expected of the "Union" TO put the public
mind right on the question of q supposed special
embassy. If il had not spoken on the subject, its
silence would have been construed into kind Of
confirmation Of the rumor. Now that you have
come out certain papers try to put you in the wrong
with certain men. The fact is, fair and wel-con-
Quoted paper more give satisfaction to every
body, than can President of the United States,
however pure and honest-minded he may be.
The members of the republican party, who value
its principles and its continued triumph and succes
above the local sectional interests of mere party
or local cLques, will sustain you IN the course you
have indicated and thus far followed up. They
know the old republican ship has just come in
from tempestuous and stormy sea, where banks,
breakers and shoals beset her on every sde threat
ening her wreck and ruin. She needs repairing
and fitting for again, where she will have soon
to meet and battle the dangers and storms of still
more tempest-tossed ocean. Your duty is to per-
suade all the and officers to unite with stout
hearts and willing hands to repair and reft the old
Iron sides for elemental strife. We have no time
for divisions to attend to ciigues. We want all
the republican principles Of our fathers, and in
handing them down to the latest posterity. They
are eternal as TRUTH and deserve to be spread
the world wide and far as men are found to be
blessed by their happy influence. 5

ton, &c. The plea Of insanity is set up in defence
