RESIGNATION OF SENATOR MCDuFFrE.
The Hon. George McDufIie resigned
his seat in the Senate on the 18th ult -
In his letter of resignation he says:
trust the reasons which now induce
me to Withdraw from that service, will be-
viewed with the same indulgence that |
have hitherto experienced. When | &C
copied the place | now hold, in state of
health that barely justified il, my sole in.
ducement was the hope which the state of
political parties then created, that might
be able 10 "render the State some SER
vice" in restoring the compromise of
1888 by remodelIing the tariff of lS42,
more unjust and oppressive than any of
its predecessors, and which totally subvert-
ed that compromise. ] never intended to
remain in the Senate after that great ques-
ton had been adjusted upon principles of
equal and constitutional taxation. Believ-
ing that object t. have been substantially
accomplished, by the revenue act OF the
last session, and that the increasing bless.
ings of free trade, which we now see in
progress, from The almost cotemporane-
Gus acts OF the two greatest commercial
nations in the world, will render it impos-
sibe for any party changes to reverse
what has been so wisely and fortunately
accomplished, | feel that may claim the
privilege of "departing in peace" from
the turmoil of political life without violat-
ing any duty of patriotism, and leaving
the country, trust in the midst of a long
career OF prosperity.
am, with great respect, your obedient
servant, GEORGE MCDUFFIE.

for the sale of any commodity, and pur-
chaser of the same, cannot reasonably
complainif The is suspected of dishonesty;
he may be honest, but under such tenpta-
ton he must not be surprised if the
world rs slow to credit such instance of
disinterestedness. Another ground for
distrust of the agent is|the intimate connec
ton he has. with the buyer; if he is not
himself buyer, habits of daily business
and social intercorse, mutual benefits fire.
quently conferred, all create a tie closer
and stronger than can possibly exist be-
tween the agent and his principal, whose
intercourse is at distant intervals Of time,
and is strictly confined to business relh-
tons, whose interest tonch only in a single
point, and very rarely correspond. The
merchant also charges drayage. labor,
&C., which he never pays; these, | sup
pose, are perquisitcs of his Office, and are
too great tax to pay for no service.
The want of statistical knowledge Of
the state of the culture of cotton has been
of no little detriment TO our great prndu
cling class. Every one can readily under
stand the advantage TO be derived from
KNOWING iuG VI
in the cultivation of cotton, the number OF
acres planted, and the average annual
product per acre in each State. If such
fund of information was collected, any
planter could approximate the crop Of
each year so nearly that he could rely with
confidence upon his own calculations 10
guide HIM in the sale Of his crop. Every
other large body of men engaged in the
same pursuit have a Journal peculiarly de
voted to their interest; all The planters
information is received thorough those
whose interests are opposed 10 his--whC
may, and doubtless, do, make representa-
lions TO favor their o~ n policy. The buy
err is not equally remiss in collecting IN
formation on which to base his operations
and hope the day is not distant when the
planter will have simiar aids in his tran
sactiops. A.

THE EVAN Ness Casa trial OF
considerable interes: and novelty is going
on in one Of the courts of Washington,
growing out of claim set up by wo-
man known as Mrs. Conner, TO have been
the wife, privately married, of the late
Gen. John P. Van Ness, aud 10 be enti-
lied TO to the right of dover IN the large
estate left by him. The clandestne mar
riage she asserts took place in PhIla"
dephia, in August, lS45. To substan-
tiate the claim, letters 10 her which she
claims to have been written by Gen. Van
Ness, under the assumed name of VIM.
Wallace, are produced, in which the wr!-
ter addresses her in fond terms as bus
wife, and otherwise recognizes that reia-
ton between them. The testimony OF
midwife in Philadelphia is, that the claim
ant was brough, to her house by person
whom she knew 10 be Gen. Van Ness
and there often visited by him, and ad-
dressed and treated as his wife. The
heirs of Gen. Van Ness resist the cla'ti'
deny The validity of the letters produced
or At least that they were written by the
deceased, and take issue on all GROUNDS
assumed by the claimant

The Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER, in late
speech at Faneuil Hall, thus scandalizes
his countrymen, and iterates and encou-
RACES the especial SANDER which forms
the staple of the vituperation INDUCED
against the American people by their enc
mics abroad: "The natural justice of q
I" 1cdr, (says this American senator,) IL is,
''perhdpS, not an American habit to c0nsi-
"der. But 1t is an .4merican habit to count
'fhe cost"
We cannot conceive how an American
can read this inputation On the moral
characteristics of the country, without his
blood boiling with Indignation. Nothing
is more untrue or unwarrantable, though
we cannot wonder, when American ora
tors proclaim it, that European Iibelists
pertinaciously insist in the aspersion that
the American character possesses no sense
of justice, and is moved solely by mo-
tives of cupidty. This sentiment of Mr..
Webster is key to the fact that, notwith-
standing his acknowledged great talents,
and Identification in politics with party
composing half the nation, he has never
succeeded in winning the affections of
any considerable portion, compared with
the aggregate of his countrymen.
