ARREST OF w. S. BRowN.-The Detroit Aduer-
tiser, of the 10th instant, says:
"Therc were some circumstances attending the
arrest of w S. Brown, who was taken to Washing
ton on "Wednesday last by the United States mar
shal, Charles H. Knox, which deserve to be ad-
vcrted to.
Brown had been travelling through the south
west, and was expected TO be at Detroit about this
time. Just before bis arrival letter was received
at the Detroit post office for w. S. Brown this let
ter fell into the hands Of gentleman having the
same name and initials, who, upon opening IT,,
found that it contained icarning from friend at
Washington that bill of indictment was ready
against him for the offence Of dealing in false or
fraudulent land warrants. This information hav-
ing, OF course, been communicated to Hon. Geo. c..
Bates, United States district attorney, he tele-
graphed to Washington, and in answer learned
that Brown was 80 indicted.
"soon after the receipt of the letter and the dis
closure Of its contents Brown made his appearance,
when he was taken by the marshal, and the next
day carried to Washington. Brown professed ig-
norance Of the whole Transaction, and with great
sang frofd assured the marshal that il was quite un
necessary for him TO go to Washington, as he was
himself about to visit that city, and to demand an
immediate investigation Marshal Knox, fearing
he might not possibly take the most direct route, de-
termined to accompany him, just as he said 'to
see that he did not get lost y

INVITATION OF THE YoUsa MsN OF LOWELL TO
Mn. WEDsTER.-The Lowell Courier publishes the
following letter signed by three or four hundred
young men of that city. 1t says, it will be re-
membered that few days since the two branches
Of our city government, in concurrence and by
unanimous vote, extended an invitation to Mr.
Webster to visit the city, and it is in aid of that
invitation that the young men have made the de-
monstration indicated below:
LOWELL, June 9, 1851.
DRAn SIR: The undersigned, young men Of
Lowell, in acknowledgment of your eminent pub
lie services beg to tender you, without distinction
OF party, cordial invitation to visit this city at
your earliest convenience.
And in this connexion we cannot refrain from
expressing our unqualified appreciation Of the stand
you have taken, and the course you have pursued,
during the present crisis. While fanatics at both
extremes OF country have not scruped to utter
words and perform deeds directly tending to pro.
duce disunion, anarchy and civil war, we have re-
marked, with admiration, that whenever your
voice has been heard, it has, with wisdom, eoun-
selled moderation; and with eoquence defended
our cherished Union; and, whenever your arm has
been raised, it has with power supported the Con.
stitution, and with might repelled the attacks of
its defamers.
AS young men, Just coming forth into active life,
and beginning to appreciate and enjoy fully the
iuestmable advantages entailed upon the inhabi-
tants of our mighty and growing Republic, we
feel especially grateful to you, sir, for your un
wearying efforts to transmit to US. pure and un-
corrupted those privileges and blessings, and that
harmony and union, received from our fathers;
enhanced by the invaluable addition of your pre-
cept and example.
TO you, sir, are the young men of this Republic,
whose future is their own, particularly indebted
for your services and we are confident that our
sentiments will be heartily re echoed from every
section Of our country; when, in conclusion again
expressing our deep gratitude, we invoke upon you
blessings, which shall increase with your years !;
happiness, pure as your patriotism; honors, In
some degree commensurate with your services |;
and fame, as extended and lasting as the influence
OF your fearless, devoted. and unwavering de-
fence OF the Union and the Constitution.
We have, sir, the honor to subscribe ourselves,
with profound respect, your humble servants,

The following letter, bearing the signature L. E.,

sYour occasional notices of the American de-
partment Of the Industrial Exhibition induce
ask you, AZ matter Of justice to us, place before
your readers few brief facts regards the United
States' division Of the Crystal Palace.
sand before do 80 permit me 10 say that all my
countrymcn TO whom have spoken agree in the
manner in which you have met certain remarks Of
one Of our journals--remarks that are below the
character Of the Exhibition which has elected in
the conception of the idea in the of the
building, and in the success which it has de-
servedly met with, our warmest admiration and
sympathy.
"The fact is that in no one branch ia the United
States fairly adequately represented; and in this
shall be fully borne out by all Englishmen who
have visited America.
"Thc North, or New England States, is not rep
resented, either as to the extent, the progress,
the variety Of its manufactures. The middle
States, that have long becA famous for the inven-
| ry in the world---in which branch they are Sec
ond to none-have here but three or four machines,
which, excellent they are, give but the faintes
idea OF the gigantic progress Of the country in this
particular. The southern States, which prin
cipally agricultural are most certainly not repre-
| sented. As an illustration of the many kinds of
cotton cultivated, we find here but samples of
seven, while the different varieties Of sugar the
State Of Louisiana arc represented by one specimen
/ from single plantation.
| "Now, 70 the causes. First, the want of sufE-
clent Information through the length and breadth
OF the States in reference to the character and
tent Of the Exhibition. This at present lies at the
door of the central committee at Washington
Secondly, Congress has unfortunately appropriated
no fund, in other countries to assist exhibitors
And this has operated to strengthen the third
cause.-the remoteness of the scene of action, an
obstacle increased by the great extent of the
try, which rendered the internal transmission Of
our contributions expensive and inconvenient, and
even, in some instances, impracticable; and which,
added to the distance ITSELF made this very oner-
GUS part of our task. and formed very considera-
Bile portion Of our outlay. The time for prepara-
ton, too, short, considering the nature Of the
enterprise and the distance Of the country
"The enumeration Of these cnuses, offered in
spirit of candor, and under firm conviction
of their literal truth, will, it is believed. mainly
| count for the incompleteness of the American de-
partnent Of the Exhibition"

FRANCO.
From the Baltimors Clipper qf yesterday.
President Fillmore.

In brief reference a few days since to those
gentlemen whom we thought likely to stand
prominently before the people of the United
tSlates as candidates at the next Presidential
election, we took occasion to express infer
encc OF our own, from expression used by Prea
dent FILLMORE in the of his late tour, that
it was not his intention to permit himself to be pre-
sented as candidate for second term. We are
glad to geo. from the communication of ss Union"
in another column, that mistook the purport OF
the Presidents remark, for believe that he 10
peculiarly qualified for the position which he occu-
pies, and that his reelection would be very salts
factory to Che friends of the Uuion. He has dis
charged the duties Of his office during the perilous
times through which We have passed with great
firmnsss and ability, and has contributed his full
share to the preservation of the Union. Surrounded
by able and patriotic ministers, believe that he
will continue to administer the affairs Of tho
ton to check the spirit of faction, and to pre-
serve the integrity of the Union.
Our correspondent does not entertain higher
opinion Of the talents, virtues and patriotic prin-
cples of the President than we do, nor ia he more
desirous to have the next Presidential contest de-
cided without reference to old party distinctions.
We think that the time has arrived when the only
distinction should be, for or against the Union.
Every man should show his hand, 80 that he may
be ranged on one side or the other. 1t is much
more important to have firm Union President than
that he should be known as either Whig or a
Democrat. But if party lines must be drawn, care
should be taken by each party that no shall
be nominated for the Presidency Of whose devo-
ton to the Union there may exist the slightest
doubt. That should be the primary consideration
at the next Presidential election; for it will be
cessary that the vote then given shall rebuke the
disunioniss, and convince them that all efforts to
destroy the Union, either by secession force,
will be unayailing.
Ne hope that we have not been understood as
desiring to President FILLMORE withdrawn
from the canvass for the next Presidency, as no
thing could be farther from our intention. We
are satisfied that his merits properly apprecia-
ted by his fellow citizens; and that, if partisan in
iiuences do not prevail in making the nomination,
large majority of the people would rejoice to
have him continued in Office for second term. He
has taken independent and honorable ground on
the subject-neither seeking nor refusing the ap-
pontment-and it remains for the people to say
whether he shall continue to serve for another
term, or retire to private life at the expiration of
the present. Whatever may be the decision, he
cannot fail to carry with him the respect and con-
fidence of his fcllow-ci of all parties.
