Among the passengers in the sloopof-war Dale we
notice the OF the Hon. Seth Barton. (and famly)
late minister Chill, and former Solicitor OF the
Treasury The return TO his native country Of this
complshed and esmable gentleman will be hailed with
pleasure bya large circle OF friends and acquaintance
whose esteem and attachment he won by his bland
manners his undoabed talents his classic attainments
and his attic w.t. which never failed to make him most
welcome and agreeable companion. His country has
acknowledged the power OF his pen in those very able
articles in favor OF the annexation OF Texas which org
nally appeared in the Richmond Enquirer. from which
they were very generally copied into the democratic
press OF the Union. Few il any publications or docu
ments did more to prepare the public mind for the
summation Of that important measure than those able
and powerful essays
The public. we presume, are not unapprized Of the
fact that difficulty arose between him and the Chlan
government to which he was accredited growing of
his marriage with estimable and most respectable
Gillian lady, which the Archbishop without right or
authority, nterfeed to annal thus insulting the
eighty and dignity OF the American republic In that light it
must be regarded, nasmuch the American minister
much surrounded and protected by the laws OF his
try in his domicl in Chilli if he had been upon Ameri
SOIL The facts connected with this insult to our
government in the person OF its minister, have as we
understand, been laid before the present administration
Whether they have taken any action with regard to the
matter we are unadvised; but we should not be sur
prised if all the circumstances Of this affair were
brought to the attention of the American people, We do
not now take into view the personal insult to the
ministers we refer to il as most important in its bearings
upon the rights and dignity Of this government, as
represented in the persons OF its ministers abroad We
forbear, for the present. further comment upon the
matter.

Colonel Weller.

Our readers will remember that one of the charges
alleged against Colonel Weller by Horace Greeley, the
New York Tribune and copied into every wing paper in
the United States, his taking with him to Chagres
and Panama woman Of i'll fame. Now, what will the
honest and candid portion Of the community think when
they informed, that the woman alluded one Of
the most respectable and accomplished ladies in this
public, relative Of Colonel Wellers by marriage, who
her way, under his escort, to meet her husband
in California; Yet we informed, on the best au.
hority, that such the fact To what depths OF base
do these caumnators in the interest Of this i'm
beetle and reckless administration plunge, in order
iniure the standing Of prominent democrats. But their
day OF license will be short Colonel Weller will soon
be here TO redress his wrongs His friends have
quesed him 10 return, and We have doubt he will
turn when he hears OF the base calumnies which have
been heaped upon him in his absence We assure these
slanderers that they have got troublesome account

In his conversations with the wings Of Pennsylvania,
General Taylor, when speaking Of democrats applies to
them the BLACKBOARD ephet Of 'ocofocos" INDUCED in
only by the slangwhangers Of the wing party Such is
the Of dignity displayed by the who now holds
the Office of President Of the United States 1t shows
that he has proper conception of the prophecies Of his
high position The Boston Post thus comments upon
this indecent and undgn6ed conduct in General Taylor
"Compant is heard from the administration prints that
the oeoioco presses make the Presidents visit the

On warm day in the month Of July, an influential
wing by the name OF Moore entered Collector Lewss

Collector. Mr. Moore what district do you hail from
Moore. From the first district. Southwark.
Collector. Oh you in Levn's district II will be
necessary for you, Mr. Moore, to bring ne note from
Moore. That will DO in half an hour.

Lewis replied, aughngy, "That is sufhcien;" and in
few days after Moore had post in the custom house
This is one among the many instances OF men who no
