GESTLEMEE | observe an inaccuracy in the
report published in the Republic, of a remark made
by me yesterday, which desire to correct | am
represented as saying, in to a question,
that did not know whether could vote for gen
tcman from Georgia. (Mr. TooMBs,) if such vote
were necessary to effect organization of the
House. My remark was that / did not under
stand the gentleman from Georgia declaring
himself hostile to the Union but opposed to its
tinuance, if certain contingencies should happen,
and that, with that understanding of his position
would vote for him in the case supposed; but that
would not vote to place man from the North from
the South in the Speakers chair, who believed
would use the power and influence Of his position
to effect such result. may observe that ! hest
tated d moment before answering, partly because
the personal character of the question made me
doubt the propriety of answering il, and partly
because of the impetuosity with which the re-
marks of the gentleman from Georgia were made
and the applause with which parts of them were
attended. I was in some doubt whether had cor
rectly compromised him.

The Union has long ago convinced it
self that the ship-yards of the United
States are very proper places TO fit out
war-steamers for the benefit and behoof of
such republicans and hereditary democrats
as the King of Prussia. 1t has not yet got
through with scolding the President and
Mr.. Clayton for having maintained our
neutral obligations in the matter of the
German steamer, though the current his
tory of the times proved that, in executing
the express law of the land, the obliga-
tons of the Government in no wise CON
tllcted with the revolutionary rights of any
parties whatever
The sole organ will not be convinced
that, as soon as il was reported that the
man Rey had been abducted from our soil,
the President took immediate and effect
ual measures TO have him brought back TO
the jurisdiction of our courts. Whilst
many OF the opposition presses were yet
clamoring against an imputed hardness on
the part of the Government, in this mat
ter, Rey's prison doors were opened, and
himself safely deposited in the United
States. As to the insult committed against
the country by the completely Of the Span
Ish authorities in the abduction of Rey,
would it NOT be well to prove the fact be-
fore a competent court, before rushing into
extremities about it. Neither the Spanish
government nor Count Alcoy has avowed
the act that we ever heard of.
/ Ii seems now that NJ. Poussin was a
/ frSt-rate Locoioco. As such he nay have
thought himself justifable in larding hi,
dispatches with choice excerpts from the
greasy rhetoric Of the "sole organ" But
the President took different view If the
question, and, in all likelihood, the coun-
try will decide with their Chief Magistrate
III this affair. BY the way, the Union says
that Mr.. Clayton was only treading upon
"a poor, fallen, and disgraced minister. y
We will not deny that NJ Poussin was a
'poor Minister" but the unkindest cut
was given him by the senior editor of the
! Union, who, when he ascertained he wa.
'iallen and disgraced," actually refused
TO admit him into his presence, though he
called twice in one evening to enjoy thai
delight. NJ. Poussin was good enough fol
an excuse to badger the Administration
but not quite equal to an association will

Pass the minstrel throngs;
llark' they play so sweet,
On their hautboys, Christmas songs.
Let us by the trc
Ever higher
sing them till the night expirei
In December ring
Every day the chimes;
Loud the glee-men sing
In the streets their merry rhymes.
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire
Shepherds at the grange,
Where the Babe was born,
Sang, with many change,
Christmas carols until morn.
Let US by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire.
These good people sang
Songs devout and sweet
While the raftcrs rang,
There they stood with freezing feet
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire
Nuns in frigid cells
At this holy tide,
For want OF some thing else,
Christmas songs at times have tried.
Let lis by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
Washerwomen old,
To the sound they beat,
Sing by rivers cold,
With uncovered heads and feet
Let w by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire
Who by the fireside stands
Stamps while he doth sing,
But he who blows his hands
Not so gaya coral brings
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!

CIRCULAR.

VNHE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish a
Il political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage in the City Of ~ aShngtOn in support OF the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Taylor came into power and being DESTROYS TO
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, IN
his estimation, make il desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
of Government.
|. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage their medium of intercourse Is upwards OF
Three Millions, and this number Is constantly in
.Creasing by immigration.
>. The name of Democrats being the appellation
of the liberal or popular party OF Germany, to
which all the immi grants before their emigration
belonged, they do, of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appelation in this country
as soon as they are able 10 exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety II is to use this
misappelation to the best advantage.
3. Although there are few wing papers IN the
country, they bear principally local character,
and relying for their support more ON local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the defeat of the
Wing party in their particular section.
1. The Germans, however, being an intcl gent
and reading people, are accessible to sound argu
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
10 overcome prejudices, correct errors and misap-
prebensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by lis influence upon the local Wing pa
pers, now in existence, will, il is hoped, produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion of the German
citizens, over TO the Wing ranks.
3. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles to overcome, but rely
ing upon the power Of truth and the cooperation
OF the Wing party, on account of the intrinsic
merits of his enterprise does not fear to be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he anuci
pates satisfactory result.

The publishers respectfully invite attention to the
following eminent testimony 10 the excellence OF
this standard dictionary.
The execution of this Dictionary fully answers
to its title The VOCABULARY is probably more
comprehensive than that of all preceding English
Dictionaries united. Constant reference ismade to
AUTHORITIES with respect TO words newly intro
duced, and care is taken to note such techni
cal, foreign, obsolete, provincial, or vulgar The
DEFINITIONS are clear and exact, and those per-
tanning to technical and scientific terms spe
cially valuable to the general reader. The author
has evidently bestowed great labor on PRoNUNcIA-
TIoN. His system of Notation, which is easily un
derstood and founded on a more complete analysis
of the vowel sounds than we have elsewhere met
with, together with his plan Of exhibiting all the
best English authorities In relation to words differ
emily pronounced by different orthoepsts gives to
this work important advantages as Pronouncing
Dictionary. In oRTHoGRAPHY he has made no ar
bitrary changes, but where usage is various and
huctuating, he has aimed to be consistent and to
reduce to the same rules words OF similar iorma-
ton. The insertion of Grammatical forms and in
Elections of words to much greater extent than
they are given in other English Dictionaries, and
the short critical notes the photography, the pro-
nunciation, the grammatical form and construc-
ton, and the peculiar, technical local, and Amcri-
can uses OF words interspcrsed through the volume
give To this work much additional value The CO.
