OGentimes, have no doubt, do all
good men think of the much ridiculed
opinion of Mr.. Clay in regard TO 'an-

this wild project, ieeIingly appeal to
every philanthropist and patriot, de-
of them, Would they now go
for annexation were the question yet

DEAK HK l observe this morning that two Of the
correspondents Of the New York Herald, in speak
ing Of the message Of the President and accompany
ing documents, relstye TO the Oregon controversy,
use the expression "Mr. Richie having carried II
of" and "Mr Richie carried IL off," as an excuse
for their not obtaining full copies Of II.
This seems 70 carry the idea, that as soon as n
was read, you seized upon u and carried II away.
This Is an injusucs 10 you; and most certainly
reflection upon the oficer having charge OF H.
The truth is that as soon the message AID doeu-
ments were read, they were taken 10 he clerks
Office by my chief clerk, and regularly entered and
Iournaliled upon the books OF the Office. As much
anxiety was manifested by members from all parts
Of the House that they should be printed with all
possible despatch, IL became my duty 10 place them.
as soon AZ possible in the hands Of the printers Of
the House; and Mr.. Richie, one Of the printers,
happening TO be IN the hall, handed them TO him
personally, he assuring me that they should be de-
liyered at the Office Of the printers AZ soon a. he
could 90 from the Capitol TO that place.
The consequences OF this despatch was, that the
House had the message and documents, in printed
in regular printed form, was on the members tables

This is the way, and the only one, in which "Mr

Mr.. French states the facts precisely as they Oe-

We adopt the sentiments OF the following COM
munieation, and recommend the object which ii
proposes TO the energetic support of the friends Of
the poor. We had designed writing an article our
selves upon the occasion; but the writer yields the
pen so much better than we can do il, that we must
content ourselves with seeonding his motion:
For the Union.
THk Coon SAMARITAN BALL.-The ball for the
benefit Of the poor Of this city, which will take place
at Carusi's saloon on Thursday evening next, the
18th, under the auspices Of the Good Samaritan As
ISOLATION is worthy of the patronage not only OF the
ball going community, but Of iberal-minded Christ
ians Of every denomination. Its object il charity
practical charity; for the entire proceeds of the ball
are TO be applied to the relief Of the distressed
widows and orphans, the hundreds Of whom have
been sought ont by the laudsbls efforts ef ,his adi-
sIio assuv reoentIy established in city,
composed of noble-hearted ladies' and gentlemen.
y their exertions untoldof sucrings and prvations
have been brought to light They have exhausted
their limited means in ameoratng the condition OF
the afflicted. Food and raiment have been given as
FAR as their ability exen led yet hundreds of wild
ows, with want depicted in their countenances, and
of defenceess orphans clad in rags, daily offer their
humble petitions for relief, where reefis to be
had The association, now without means, resor,
to ball as the most ready way by which to replen-
ish their exhausted treasury. Who will not con-
tribute, by TINS innocent moae, 10 purpose &c

such an occasion will be more cheerful, from the
consciousness that whilst they derive health from
the exhilarating exercise, they contribute to the
happiness Of distressed widows and fatheress chill.
dren. There is much distress in this city not vis.
bic to the eye Of the world. Those who are the
sufferers rather endure want in silence, than cast
themselves upon the cold and frownng charities OF
the rich. II is such these that this admirable
sociation have discovered in their holy visations
And let me appeal to those who never attend balls
to send and purchase tickets. The money thus
contributed will be returned to them an hundred
fold for that which is sown in charity always yields
abundantly Let the rich on this occasion, who are
so far removed from want that they cannot gener-
ally, appreciate the condition Of those afflicted by it
send and purchase tickets. They should always be
the first to come forward on such occasions to rem.
der assistance to the poor. They should reflect that
that abundance which God permits Them to enjoy
puts upon them dreadful responsibility.
