have been for some time secretly enga- ged in manufacturing public opinion for the hero of San Jacinto. In furtherance of this object, they have held a cores pondence which is now given to the public. A singular expose of locofoco tactics is made, which ought to open the eyes of the rank and file of the democ. racy to the doings of the " wire- e-puIers." What affinity there can he in the principles of the free-soil party and those of Houston, it might puzzle the most accute dealer in political distractions to discover.

 Some of the democratic papers under- take to say that there is no such man as the MT Donaldson alluded to, and that his letter is a hoax.

The existence of c H Donaldson is also vouched for by credible witnesses, and a letter in the Providence Journal from the Hon.

GTE. D. MANSFIELD, Esq of ofCincinnati, was present at our Jubilee. and gives an interesting account of it in the Gazette of that city, from which we make the following extracts :
 It is many years since was resident here, and many a change has come oyer the face of sociely,-fiing with sadness some the sunniest scenes of life ;-but Eternal Nature never fades! It is her unchanging aspect, which, associated with the memo ries Of the dead, makes their monument to the living. Here, all around, l see natur- al features upon which have gazed many a day, in company with friends, upon whose fnces shall look no more. They are sad, and yet pleasant memories, which thus bring up the departed, but bring them up, mingled with life's brightest hours. look out upon "Mount Tom,' which raises it's majestic head many miles to the West upon Bantam Lake," whose glassy sur face reflects the setting sun-upon wales and grassy meadows-up0n distant ridges, in terspersed with woods and orchards, and upon the white houses and lofty elms of this beautiful village, all associated with me- mories of youth and happiness. In history however. it has other and higher associa- tions with the glory of the nation. Here Wocott lived, and Calhoun studied; here Gould and Reeve taught here Dr. Beech, CT preached, in his brightest days; nearhere Bellamy was pastor, and Jonathan Ed wards pupil; and amidst these hills have been reared hundreds of others who have gone forth in their strength. to labor for and illustrate the service of their country.
 Judge Chprclis address was two or three hours in length, and will be published, fur nishing an interesting memoir to all the na- lives of the county, and valuable material for future history. In the afternoon, the poem for the occasion was de lvered by the Rev. John Pierpont, native of South-farms in this township. All the world of America have heard of John Pierpont, and those wEo have read of him, have admired him. The poem of this occasion sustained to tho full that high reputation as poet, orator and wit, which he so well deserves. l think ] ne- yer knew m audience to laugh so much as his did, at the successful play upon the names which figure in the county history
 -nOr listen with more profound attention to the graver and more pathetic portions of his story. It was full of pith and point; of eloquence and satire.
 Dr. Bushnell's discourse was full of just sentiments, beautifully illustrated, and was as strong a eulogy on the '.age of homespun" as can be expected from orator or poet He brought Homer, Theocrites, and Solomon to prove .he queenly character and position of the ladies of the distaff and the wheel. Dr. Bushnel's speech will be published. and doubt not be read. He had one kind of applause which was quite unique in this section of country. A good Methodist wo> man had got seat in the midst of the ass sembIy. As the speaker elOquently descri- bed some of the pleasant scenes of the old en time, she was so warmed up that she cried out, "Amen." The people smiled

THE EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.
In the beginning of the last week, Gays Dublin
letter of the Sth inst) so great was the influx u
emigrants at this port that some Of the agency
houses advanced the fares for passages to New York
and New Orleans but on Friday the former rates
were restored. Every day the quays are crowded
by farmers small traders. and their families, seek
ing passages the Atlantic. Generally they
appear to be people in comfortable circumstances,
presenting no trace whatever of poverty or the
effects of famine, and there are amongst them many
healthy, cheerful-looking young men and women,
apparently rejoicing ut the prospect opened by
leaying their native country for America. Ohe OF
the principal agents informed me, on Friday last,
that the emigrants of this year persons of q
superior class to those who left in previous years,
and that there few of poor very needy class
amongst them. The humbest class of the emf
grants proceed by steamers to Liverpool, where
they take shipping for some American port. As an
evidence Of the great extent of emigration from
lister, as we'll as the other provinces, the DJssa
a,o. Rccorer mentions that no less than Fifty per-
left that vicinity on Thursday morning last for
Belfast, on their way to America. Emisration
has recommended from several Of the poor-law
unions, at the expense Of the ratepayers; and ar
Engagements are in progress for sending out an al
ditional number of young women from the work
houses, by government vessels, to Australia.
