Tenth District OF Massachusetts.

The Boston Daily .Advertiser thus comments
on the letter written by Mr. ZENo ScuppER. OF
the 9th Congressional District of Massachus
etts, TO the colored citizens Of New Bedford
In face of this letter from MIR. ScuppER, it can
not be deemed surprising that he received the sup
port OF but little than half the Wing voters of
his District. 1t is the desire, doubt not of the
intelligent Wings of that District, to support the
measures of the present Wing administration of
the Union. 1t was well known before the election
that President FILLMORE had signed and had de-
clared his intention to carry into execution the law
which Mr.. ScUDDER pronounces "a most fragrant
abuse fpoucal power, and burlesque upon the
genius of our free institutions -
The law thus characterized by Mr. ScuDpER is
one of the laws of the last session. which is thus re-
ferred to by the President in his Message
"Ihe series of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by a settlement in principle
and substance-a final settlement Of the dan perous
and exciting subjects which they embraced Most
OF these subjects, indeed, are beyond your reach
as the legislation which disposed of them was in
Its character, final and irrevocable."
MIR. Scudder, on the other hand, does not so re.
gard these measures but in his letter to the coored
citizens of New Bedford, above quoted, he says 81
shall at all times and under all circumstances as
matter of moral principle and political duty, advo-
cate and act for the repeal Of the law called the
Fugitive Slave Law | shall also continue to exert
what ability possess for the repeal of all the laws
which countenance vestigc of slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia" &c. SO pledged, surely
the Wings of Massachusetts have the discretion not
send to Washington, under the idea that hc will
support the Administration, or that he will render
any services, in concert with the Wing party of the
nation, either to their party or to the country.
We iorbear at present TO comment upon other
parts of the letter above quoted other than those
which refer to the Fugitive Slave Law. They in
dictate a feeling and principle of action in rea-
ton to the rights of the people Of the slaveholdng
States entirely at variance with those which
must be cherished by the people of the North, if
we would preserve this Union, and the friendly
relations which make it worth preserving, that we
trust district in Massachusetts, will deem il ex-
pedient to confer the important trust of Repre-
sentative in Congress a candidate who makes a
pnblic declaration of such sentiments.

so fercey agitated the country are constitutional,

entertained by large majority OF the American
people, for cannot distrust either their intei-

measures, whenever occasion demands. and in eff

s-sThe instalment due to Mexico and part of the
interest on the public debt were justly chargea-
blc 10 the Mexican war The revenues were am
ply sufficient To meet that sum, and discharge
the ordinary expenses of the Government. But
"a Wing Cabinet increased the ordinary expenses
of the Government to such unprecedented
amount that they swallowed up the anticipated
revenue, and left nothing, as 1t was supposed, TO
meet the appropriations for the interest on the
debt and the instalment due TO Mexico. Under
these circumstances-hay squandered the APP
proprist atoms for the expenditures growing out OF
the war on other objects of expenditurc-Mr.
Meredith had the indscretion TO alege that the
deficit he anticipated was occasioned by that war.
He went into long calculation, as MIR. Corwln
has done, in order TO show the vast expenditure
which the war had entaied on the country, and
in order to salve the extravaganza of
Wing administration and the wasteiulness OF
Wing Cabinet"
The above is part of the Sunday morning
entertainment of the readers of the Union. IL
is astonishing TO what an extent our venerable
contemporary presumes upon the ignorance OF
the public He here gravely lays down that
Vino Cabinet Increased the ordinary ex-
penses of the Government" This is too pre-
pOsterous.
The Constitution provides that ''no money
shall be drawn from the Treasury but in con
sequence OF appropriations made by lGo."
Wing administration, like any other admins
tration. is bound to execute the law; and, if
Congress makes appropriations, is compelled to
pay the money
When the Union, therefore, talks about
WING Cabinet squandering ten millions of
money, or of Increasing the public expenditures,
or Of diverting appropriations from one object to
another, the U,aon knows perfectly well that il
is talk! at random, without the slightest re
gard to verify or even veri-similitude. There
is not only no truth, but there is no semblance of
truth, and no possibility of truth in what it says.
This the Union knows as well as we do.

REMEDY ron THE SCARCITY SILVER CON-
A correspondent Of the New York Journal Of Com
merce, referring TO the present scarcity of silver
coin, recommends that the minis Immediately re-
commence the coinage Of gold dollars, which, he
says, Notwithstanding tipsy careless person
may occasionally pay them out for fps" are
really desirable and popular coin. We lake the
suggestion. This lilliputian currency may be
somewhat troublesome to finger but this disadvan.
tage is amply compensated by it, convenience for
breaking FIVE dollar bill and its easy portage.

RELEAsE Of CgAPLrN.-The facts in this case, we

and taken before Judge Brewer at his chambers,
where George n. Williams, Of Baltimore, appeared
with him as one Of his counsel, and gave the re-
quircd bail is said that Gerrtt Smith paid five

saved Chaplin from the pentcntiary, az it is thought

From the Union of December 22d.

When Mr.. Meredith ascertained that the ex-
travagant expenditure of the Taylor admins
tration would be nearly ten millions more than
the estimates, and exceed the estimated means
of the treasury by nearly six millions OF dollars,
= he affirmed that the deficit had been occasioned
by the Mexican war This affirmation was grpud
less and without foundation. The expenditures
growing out of the Mexican war had been fore
seen by Mr.. Walker They had been included in
the estimates he submitted to Congress, and Con
gress had made appropriations to meet them
Mr.. Walkers estimate for the year ending June
30 1850, was made up of the following items

THE /" ADJUSTMENT"


Mr.. Soule addressed the Senate at length on Mon
day as and with signal ability, in favor of his pro-
position to divide California between the North and
the South, by extending the Missouri line from the
frontier Of Texas to the Pacific Ocean. We shall
endeavor to make room at early day for portion
at least of his remarks.
The " Adjustment" is still pending in the Senate,
but its friends were confidently counting on final
vote upon it during the present week. They hope
to pass it through that body by two three MAORI
ty. Its fate in the House is exceedingly doubtful.
In the meantime we have information in the pa
pers, that the people of New Mexico-a few hundred
whites, and some thousands Of mixed bloods and
lndians-have been called upon by an officer of the
United States Army to assemble in Convention. and
frame Constitution. preparatory to their admission
into the Union as State! This is done, of course,
directly under the orders of Gen. Taylor. He seeks
to settle the Slavery question by dodging the W:lmot
PrOviso, and by leaving it to parcel OF adventurers
and uncivilized mixed bloods to frame State Con-
sttution, to exclude tie South, in the case of Cali
fornia, and then come into the Union a footing
with the old States. This is Gen. Taylor's policy,
and of course it is all rght-in the estimation of the
Wing leaders. We shall alude more at length to
this matter in our next

We have right to put this question, and we shall

or equivocates on the subject, we shall take it for
granted that the fact is SO.

THE WAKE DEMOCRACY


The letters of Gen. Saunders and Wesley Jones,
Esq. in response to the Rolesville Meeting, will be
found in this paper. Messrs. Newsom and Rollins
have not been heard from, but have no doubt they
will concur in opinion with the other candidates.
Our differences in Wake are now happily recon.
eed, and We again march forward band of BROTH
ers. This is just it should be. After having tri-
umphed SO often, in the face of difficulties and ad-
verse circumstances, it would have been unworthy
Of the Wake Democracy to have divided now, and
yielded themselves the subjects of easy conquest
10 their opponents. No Democrat, in our humble
opinion, can now excuse himself for falling to sup
port the Ticket. That Ticket is able, sound, and
eminenty worthy in whatever aspect itmay be view
ed and we expect to have the pleasure of recording
its triumph by signal majorities.
Those ilIiberal and narrow minded Wings, who
have been assailing Gen. Saunders, and who seem
determined to persevere in their unjust assaults upon
him. are IS biting at -; and we have reason to
know that their course is disapproved by mary in
telligent and high-minded members Of their own
party in this community. Gen. Saunders is too well
known, and too deeply grounded in the popular aec
uons, to be injured by these ungenerous and puny
assaults. The more you rub pure gold, the bright

POMAREDE'S PANORAMA.

Il - A.
Pomarede's magnificent Panorama of the Missis-
sPPi, and also his Painting of the Funeral Process.
sion of Mr. Calhoun in Charleston, are now exhibi-
ting in this City, every night. to large assemblages.
We have had the pleasure of seeing these Paintings,
and we are confident, far as we are able to Judge,
that they richly deserve all the praise bestowed upon
them.
The scenery, especially upon the upper Mississip-
pi, is grand and sublime. Fort Smelling, Lake Pc
pin, the Prairie on fire, the groups of Indians, and
the Falls of ST. Anthony, represented in the most
striking manner. But We cannot particularze.
This admirable Painting, to be fully appreciated,
must be seen. If there be any defect in it, it is,
perhaps, that too little life is given, speak,
the River itself; but that if it be Defect can easily
be remedied, we presume, by the hand of the artist
A few more steamboats,, fat-boats, and the like,
would probably add to the appearance, and relieve
the occasional monotony Of the River scene.
The Painting of the Funeral Procession of Mr..
Calhoun, in Charleston, which accompanies the Pa
norama of the Mississippi is said to be as accurate
in detail as it is impressive and beautiful in its gen.
eral outlines.
Professor Cobini, who performs upon the violin,
acquits himself in the best style. 1t is well worth
visit to the place of exhibition, hear his exquisite
ly executed tunes.
These Paintings will be exhibited again tonight,
at the Town Hall. Go and see them.
