The letter from Poland, in another column, address
ed to Mf. John Rosemond or Kwiaikowski, of this
vicinity, will be read with interest. The eloquence
of the broken-hearted but brave old man. as he des-
crbes the desolation of his country, is most touching
There is no hope for Poland but in the struggles of
Hungary. May the God of nations make Kossuth
the Washington of Europe; and may victory still
attend the banner of his country, until Russia shall
have been driven back and both Hungary and Poland
restored to their ancient Independence!

THE NEWBERNIAN-MR. sTkNLY.


The sNewbernian charges the Standard with having
IS abused" Mr.. Stanly, and also with having "drawn
its electioneering matter" and ''taken its cue from
the Washington Union No such thing. We have
neither :" abused I" Mr.. Stanly, +" taken - our
'.cue.'' We have held up Mr.. Stanly to the people
of the Eighth District as unsound upon the Slavery
question, and have warned them against sending him
Congress- and if that ersabuse,' the Newbernian
can make the most of it -. Z.
But from what source does the Newbernian take
IFS cue! Has it not, like the Raleigh Register been
copying in its Editorials from Wing Circular
prepared in Washington City by Truman Smith, and
designed to prove Coalition - between the Dem
ocrats and Abotionistsl Answer the question-guil-
ty or not guilty2
The Newbernian complains about abuse and
yet in the breath it talks about old Richie, "
and characterzes that venerable and pure patriot
as sthe arch old hypoerite We leave the public
to determine who is the "hypocrite and who deals
in Habuse.' The Newbernian ought to have pew
medal for its honesty with Mr.. Stanly's ''pictur'
one side, and the Constutionality of the Wilmot
Proviso demonstrated on the other and then the pa
per itself ought to be sent to Paris, andbe preserved
by MIR. VattemaFe in the North Carolina alcove, as

The Richmond Times, Whig paper, publishes
the whole of Mr.. Cahoun's reply to Col. Benton and
thanksthe former Z" for the service he has rendered
our cause, by demonstrating the iLegqlty and injustice
of the Wilmot Proviso." How does that take with
the Raleigh Register? Is that paper wiser than the
Times The truth is the Register, in admitting the
Constitutionality of that Proviso stands almost so
tary and alone among Southern newspapers, while
upon this point many of.the Northern journals
against it. But Mr.. Senator Badger is with it,

repugnance to the political doctrines of
President TAYLOR, as will induce them to
give up the point of honor even in dis
pute about 'goat's WOOL" for the sake of
overthrowing his Administration. They
believe he is honest They know the
leaders of the old Democratic organization
are hopelessly and thoroughly corrupt.
They have no faith in Baltimore platforms.
They have no faith in the men who prom
ised them a Sub-treasury which should
"keep the public money" safely, and then
use in a single transaction Sl55, 900,
which they conceal from those guardians
of the treasury to whom the law of the
land bound them to render an account.
They are no abstractionists. They look to
substances. They desire-the masses of
all parties-the PEOPLE desire pure and
honest administration, and they consider
no ''reunion" of parties indispensable"
till they can have time to test the present
Administration by its acts, and to fathom
the corruptions and iniquities of the men
who have controlled this Government for
the last twenty years.
This we believe to be the true eXplana-
ton of the failure of this attempt to recon
struct the Democratic party. Should the
Administration of President TAYLOR fully
realize the great WING doctrine of i'm
plicit obedience to the popular willard
that it will do so we have no doubt-we
can conceive Of no just reason which
should induce any man, who believes that
this will ought to be supreme, to oppose
his Administration. Some few of the
elite Of the distinguished Democrats of the
country may groan over the shorn honors
of the Richmond junto and the Albany re-
gency; but we believe that the great heart
of the American people will sympathize
with the man whose only hope is to give
satisfaction to his countrymen, and to
maintain the honor, the peace, and the
prosperity of this glorious UNION.

American Trade with Cuba and Porto Rico.
The necessity of some amendment of the basis
on which this important portion OF our prosperity
rests is apparent. IL at this moment exceeds IN value
our intercourse with all the rest of the Antilles and
if relieved of many burthens which weigh on it,
would probably double The last treaty with Spain
was negotiated nearly twenty-seven years since,
and immense changes have taken place unforeseen
and not provided for in its stipulatons. writer
in the Portland advertiser gives brief summary Of
the duties levied on portion of our produce, which
so large to be nearly tantamount TO pro-
hibton One of the most striking is the following:
American -four, imported in own vessels, pays
duty of $40 per barrel, while if in Spanish ship it is
chargeable only with ~ So In many cases dis
elimination is made in favor of English produce.
The large sum of 81 so per ton is levied and in
Porto Rico 81 is levied on American vessels and but
eighty eight and threefourth those Of other
nations. Not only is this tonnage duty levied, but
variety petty charges are exacted, which, when
we remember that nearly two hundred trips per
annum made to the Spanish islands by our
vessels, become matter of serious considerations
The subject is important, as there is no doubt
that geographical position would enable us,
in almost all the necessarles of life, to undersell
every competitor and ourselves the greater
portion of the commerce of the Spanish West In

The Surveyors Office.


''Our new surveyor of the port late on Saturday
evening, had not succeeded in obtaining from his
predecessor, Mr. Collins, the property and money
of the Government belonging to the office. No
thing has been handed over since 500 0u0 was paid
Mr. Collins has employed counsel to conduct his
communications with Colonel Bond and Colonel

cept to an authorized agent of the Treasury. We
now learn that the Treasury claims Of Mr.. Collins
upwards of $3.50 O00 of which he has only paid the
S63, 900 above. II is rumored also that the late
surveyor has made collections since he was super
seeded. If this be so, new difficulty may arise on
the question, whether payment of duties to any
other person than the surveyor will exonerate the
importer from liability

COLLINS has counted out, in hard money,
"to be handed over to his successor" the
full sum claimed by the Government. If
this be so, he has certainly taken his ann

ton of Fort Smith paper, that he had preferred
charges against General Belknap at Fort Gibson,
for forbidding sermons of more than an hour in

entire services-not the sermon-in the chapel to
one hour. The Bishop did not subject himself to
the order and took no notice of it.

OuR old brown homestead reared its walls
Prom the wsyside duet aloof,
Where the apple boughs could almost cast
Their ffuiisge on It's roof
And The cherry trees so near II grew
That, when awake we lain
Ia the lonesome nights, I've heard the limbs
As they cracked against the pane;
And these orchard trees-O those orchard trees
I've seen my little brothers rocked
ia their tops by the summer breeze.
The sweet brisr under the window sill,
Which the cary birds made glad,
And the darnask rose by the garden fence,
Were al the flowers we had.
I've looked az many flower since then,
Exotics rich and rare.
That In other eyes were lOyelier,
But not to me 80 fair:
For those roses bri ght-those roscs bright
We twined them with my sisters locks,
That are lain In the dust from sghi
We had a well-a deep, old we'll
Where the spring was never dry,
And the cool drops down from the mOssy stones
We're falling constantly;
And there never was wster half so sweet
As that In my little cup,
Drawn from the curb by the rude old sweep
Which my fathers hand set up:
And tina, deep old well-O that deep old WE'LL

Of the bucket rs II fell.
Our homestead bad an ample hearth,
Where at night we loved to meet;
Where my mothers voice was always kind,
And her smile was always sweet;
And there We sat or my fathers knee,
And watched his thoughtful brow,
With my childi,h hand in his raven hair
That hair IL silver now light
But that broad hearth ight-O that broad hearth
And my fathers look and my mothers smile,
They are In my heart tonight.
