FUNERAL DIscoURsE.-The Discourse of III.
c. Wright at the funeral of Sarah II. Case will
attract the notice of our readers. Its topics do
not come exactly within the range of an Anti
Slavery paper, but the relations of the deceased
and her friends to the causc,a and the peculiar cir
cumstanccs attending her death conspire to make
it an exception to our general rule respecting
the subjects appropriate to our columns. An
Anti Slavery journal, though constantly
devoted to its own special work, should exhibit
a generous hospitality toward the new ideas of
which the cause is so prominently suggestive.

In riding his steeple-chase, he chooses to be-
stride the old hobby of the Union, instead OF
the new one The whole effort is set down

at length, ''as warning to all well-disposed
persons, and TO show them the dangerous re-
suits to which the disorganizers Of the South,
acting in concert with the LLOYD GARRIsoNs,

Restricted by want of space from doing this
he yet copies enough to show the dangerous re-
suits to which his own cherished free-trade
theories have led Mr.. RHETT anew, as they led
the entire Modification party in 1882. And
yet he would squirm out of their company, and
set up for their censor. To this we take leave
to object old friends should not be parted
Free trade and Modification and Dsunion have
natural affinity, and neither party has Alright

they had, how could they so deceive themselves
as to hope that he would unite with them in
endeavoring to procure an adjustment on the
principle of the Missouri compromise, as they
understood it, or any adjustment that would re-
suit in any practical benefit TO the South, as it
regards the introduction of slaves into any por-
ton of the territory acquired from Mexico.
With all due respect for the gentlemen who
advocate it, we cannot but regard, as the off
spring of monstrous delusion, the proposition
to adopt the Missouri compromise line, with
view of effecting an adjustment that, in its
practical results, would be of the slightest pos
sible benefit to the South Those who counsel
the South to make an issue upon it, counsel
her to commit great folly. We hope she will
do no such thing.

MR.. VATTEMARE.

The question is seriously mooted whether this per
sonage mot hunbug Of the first water letter from
him was recently published, announcing, in singularly
awkish manner, the loss serious damage of certain
packages OF books and documents which he had trans
mrted to France by the ship Oneida. wrecked on the
Guernsey coast Amongst these the contributions
from Virginia. In his letter Mr.. Vattemare intimates
that the lost treasures may be restored by American
hberaLy" He sent to the press also letter purport-
ing to be written by his agent, c. Moreau," dated
Paris, Feb 10th, and describing in style of sentiment
tally somewhat like Mr. Vatemares, the disaster TO
the packages OF which the latter says "of course such
treasures ,cere not insured"
The N. Y Commercial Advertiser, a cautious print
remarks upon the circumstances:
Now this letter is dated March 22nd. and we cannot
think Mr. Vattemare remained in ignorance of the re-
cent action OF the New Jersey Legislature upon his
application for perpetual salary from that state or
Ehe controversy which has since appeared respecting
his petensons in The columns OF that respectable jour.
nal, the Newark Daily Advertiser 1t has been there
distinctly denied that he had any authority from the
trehch Government to act az an international agent
while 1t has been asserted ALSO that his own aggrand-
izement has alone been sought in all his recent move
nents; that he keeps book store in Paris which the
gifts from American cities and states 20 enrich that
at one time he was travelling Iaountebank, at an
other a professor OF necromancy; and he has been
openly chaiengea 70 aoduce particle OF evidence that
any European government has authorized him to appear
n the character he has assumed. Yet not the least
alusion does Mr. Vaemare make to these grave ale
cations.
We are constrained to say that 10 view of the public
charges thus made against him, Mr.. Vauemare would
only have showed proper respect for the American
people, who have treated him with so much berality
had he frankly the challenge of the New jersey
Legislature That body rejected his petition for an
Appropriated ofsome thousand of dollars, simply on
the ground that no evidence existed OF the justice of his
pref nson and several members distinctly declared
that he would but produce such evidence they would

should have prompted him at once TO remove the i'm

Praise from The Enem4.

What wonderful thing there is yet to happen in
these portentous times we cannot conjecture, but
certainly nothing can astonish US more than to
see in the Washington Union, of Thursday morn
ing last an editorial article cordially applaudng
the administration for its course on the slavery
question. Inferring from an article in the Repub-
lie, that the Administration is not disposed to in
sist upon its own plan for the settlement of the
controversy, 'but will lend its influence to the
general measures having that object in view, now
pending before Congress, or will support any other
sch eme which will put an end to the sectional diff
ferences now existing" the Union uses this unre-
served language:
eve confess that glad to see these init

induce the country to believe that they authentic.

received with feelings of qualification by all parties de-

The conflicting interests OF the country. They must

its aid and OF Mr. Webster; and that if they op
pose his plans OF Cancellation, they must to the
conclusion TO abandon the administration
Now this, we must say, is handsome. 1t does
the Union much honour, but President Taylor still
greater. 1t is free confession of his patriotic
purposes, from his bitterest enemies. But whilst
the major organ at Wa shingtcn thus candidy ac-
knowleges the magnanimity and patriotism of the
President and his Cabinet, the minor oracle in
Richmond goes on abusing them with equal vio--
ence and inconsistency, one day, for proposing no
plan at all of settling the difficulty, the next, for
proposing one acceptable to the North and odious
to the South.
