Death OF Mr.. Kaufman.

1t was with no less surprise than sorrow that
we heard yesterday evening Of the death of the
Hon. DAVID S. KAUFMAN, the Representative
of the First Congressional district in Texas.
We are informed that Mr.. KAUFMAN was ap-
parently in his usual health yesterday, and that
some time after the adjournment of the House
of Representatives, which took place at about
half past three, p. m, he was standing in front
Of the hotel where he lodged conversing with a
friend, when he suddenly complained of pain
in his side, retired to his room at once, and
in few minutes was corpse. His death
will of course be announced in both
houses of Congress to-day. Mr.. KAUFMAN
was, we believe, native Of the State Of Maine,
but for several years past resided in eastern
Texas. He was one Of the two Representa-
tives chosen to represent that State on her adj
mission into the Union, which position he con-
tinued to occupy, up to the hour of his death,
with signal credit to himself and satisfaction to
his constituents. Here, as elsewhere, we I'M
derstand, he was respected by all who knew
him, or had intercourse with him, for his kind
ness of heart and gentlemanly demeanor.

Mr.. oprwin and Manchester.

The English newspapers are not at all
pleased with the annual report of Mr.. Secretary
CoRwIN. They think it compares very unfa-
vorably with the production of Mr.. Secretary
WALKER. Our WING Secretary is especially
unpopular at Manchester and the Times Of
that place levels an editorial at him of some
length, studded with all the choice epithets
of vituperation and abuse to be found in the
English language. 1t denounces the report
as strange document'-an " extravaganza
piece of special pleading incoherent''-
"crude'-" illogcaI'-- unintelligible"
Of elaborate distortions Of fact''-"exploded
fallacies" -"transpare fallacies'-and eds
honest pretences." 1t accuses the Secretary OF
inslncerely advocating "policy which is
known to be as impracticable as il is preposter-
ous." All this is somewhat irritating" il
seems, to the good people of Manchester, and
particularly to the Manchester Times.
The explanation of all this lies in the com.
pass of nutshell. Nobody is smpleion enough
to believe that our English cousins are so ex.
ceedingly anxious on oar account. Manchester
is the great seat of the cotton manufacture, and
owes her immense wealth TO the cotton trade
Her people thrive by carding, spinning, weav
ing, bleaching, dyeing, and printing. Her cot
ton manufactures call for machine shops ant
| founderes, and the founderies and machin,
shops consume the coal which abounds in he
| neighborhood. The population, busy in al
these vocations, must be fed, and thus estab
lish profitable market for the farmer an,
grazier, the butcher, baker, and grocer. AL
the population thus induslriously employed a

"'Edward Riddle, of New York, has been ap-
pointed by the President general agent of the
United States to the Worlds Fair
1T is time that agent should be appointed by
our State whose citizens are sending many and
valuable contributions to the great Fair. These
articles will at the best, be subjected to heavy
charges, for London is an expensive place. 1t is
important, therefore, that New York should have
a capable and attentive agent"
We clip the above from the Albany Erening
Journal, simply to say that it is an entire mis-
take. The PRESIDENT has no power to appoint
an agent, and we are sure has appointed none.

wealth. Manchester likes this state Of things.
She is naturally disposed to desire its continu-
ance Naturally enough, therefore, she be-
comes "irrilated" when she finds Yankee
Secretary lending himself to the circulation Of
doctrines that are likely to interfere with it,
No wonder that she finds all such doctrines
"illogical," ''unintelligible, and especially
Irritating"
The policy recommended by Mr.. CoRwIN
tends to build up miniature Manchesters in
Virginia and Georgia, themselves the centres
Of a producing industry, and affordng to their
little circles home market for coal and iron
and breadstuffs. Manchester would much
prefer that our coal and iron should rest in
their native beds, and that we should exhaust
ourselves in non productive labor, in building
and manning ships, and in the carriage Of cot
ton three thousand miles to be manufactured,
and brought back three thousand miles to be
consumed True enough it is that we thus
employ millions of money, and many thousand
tons of shipping, and many thousand men in
process that adds nothing to the aggregate Of
the worlds wealth, but it enriches Manchester;
and Manchester is therefore well content.
Therefore it is that Manchester rejoces in Mr..
WALKER, and is ready to erect a statue to
him.
A little Manchester in his own neighborhood
would seem to be better for the Virginian OF
Georgian. He would thereby save land-car-
riage, wharfage, commissions, freights, insu-
rance, interest, and would furnish home mar
ket for the coal and iron and breadstuffs Of his
neighbors; thereby diversifying the industrial
pursuits and enriching the productive industry
of his own vicinage and his own nation. To this
extentindeed he would infringe upon therevenues
of the English Manchester, and interfere with
would thereby, no doubt, in measure ''irrl-
tate" her journalists, who would be shocked at
the idea of the retention of what they consider
portion of the legitimate spoils Of their looms
and bleacheries and lighthouses. It would be a
most ''illogicap and "preposterous" robbery Of
our transatlantic brethren for our own "falla-
cious" advantage.
1t would seem that man with half an eye
might discern the operative cause of the indig-
nation which the English press is lavishing
upon Mr.. Secretary CoRwIN. His policy is
calculated to increase the producing and con-
suming power of the United States for her own
benefit. 1t aims at opening our own mines,
building and running our own mills, fostering
our own industry, adding to our own wealth
instead of exhausting our faculties in adding to
the wealth of the GOLFERS, and IRON masters,
and farmers, and manufacturers of nation
three thousand miles distant. The results
show that, under protective legislation, we
produce more, consume more, import and ex-
port more, than under any approximate system
to free trade; and memorable facts demonstrate
in the teeth Of all the theories of recent British
economists, that the system which Mr.. Gowns
advocates is the system which promotes oul
national prosperity and augments our national

California was again under consideration. Sew

% dwell in. but suitable house in which to coin

the gold.
MI. vENABLE said that the argument Of the
gentleman from New York would prove that there
ought to be xnints ut the most convenient landing
places Of the United States; that every patty port
OF the United States to which schooner brought
gold dust ought to have mint, because the dust
belonged there. IL was claimed that all the dust
arriving at New York belonged TO New York,
which was not the fact. The gold dust belonged
to the passengers. The Chagres line arrives at
that city, whence the dust is scattered to every
portion OF the United States. You might as we'll
claim that the line Of railroad from Philadelphia
To Washington belongs TO Baltimore, because the
train reaches Baltimore first. He held that the
fact OF the gold being brought to New York was
only an evidence that il was the most convenient
place for the owners. There difficulty in
getting money from Philadelphia to New York.
Half a day in the transmission was matter Of
small Importance
The committee then rose; and, on motion,

lis subject:
From the Era.
MIR. Clay, the Presi-
dent, on taking the chair,
addressed the audience
at some length, and was
followed by the Rev. DIR.
Fuller, of South Carroll
ma, Mr.. Latrobc, and the
Hon. MIR. Stanton, OF
Tennessee.
The speakers general
ly avowed extreme hos
tilIty TO every form Of
anti slavery agitation.
and the Compromise
measures Of the last scs-
sion, especially the Flu
gitive act, were fully en-
dorsed.
The great theme Of all
the addresses was, the
impossibility oftwo races
existing under one gov
eminent, except in the
relation of master and
slave. How the preva-
lence Of such an idea can
promote the sentimental
emancipation, or have
any other effect than to
reconcile the public mind
to the perpetuation Of
slavery, we are unable
to see. Its tendency GER
tainly is, to foster a hos
tile feeling towards the
colored people land check
all efforts to elevate their
condition in this coun-
try.
Mr.. Clay attempted to
show how colonization
would benefit the South
and the North, the free
colored people, the slaves,
and the cause Of civiliza-
ton of Africa.
Mr.. Stanton, Of Ten
nessee, regarded it al
most exclusively as q
safeguard for the insti-
tuition ofslavery, and an
anti Abolition scheme.
y 4 \
The free colored people
disturb and endanger
the system Of slavery in
several ways-by SOW
ing the seeds of rebellion
among the slaves; by in
citing them to run of;
by concealing them in
the free States; by re-
sisting the laws for their
recapturc and delivery;
by promoting the senti-
ment of abolition at tho
North. Colonization, by
removing them, gives
security to slavery.
Hence, the duty Of the
Government to engage
directly in the work
of colonizatiOn--a work
of "self- preservation -
and the most efficient
way TO do this work is
to establish lines of mail
steamers to Africa.
In other words, negro
slavery 10 the great in
terest Of the Government
of the Union, essential
to its preservation; and,
"as a matter Of self-prc-
servation," this Govern
nent lie bound to tax
the North as we'll as
South for the establish
ment of mail steamers to
Africa, to carry thithcr
the free blacks, who con-
stitute the chief source of
disturbance and danger
to slavery. This is Mr..
Stanton's position, strip
ped of its verbiage; and
we observe he is sus-
tanned in it by Henry
Clay, the President Of
the Society.
