Nj. ST. GLAZE CLARK, ESQ.
SIN: have the honor Of your esteemed favor of
June 25th, which have read with attention and
much satisfaction. have received by the Liberia
packet, rs you intimated would, Judge Bryans
memorial, and circular accompanying it. TO Con-
gress, asking the cooperation of the United States
overnment in what ! consider a grand and
important scheme. There is no question in my
mind but that line of steamships between the
United States and this country would produce inn
portant results in favor of colonization, well as
the commercial interests both Of the United States
and Liberia
With such facilities as this scheme would afford
colonization, emigration would be greatly aug
mented. There are unquestionably hundreds, per-
haps thousands, in the United States, who, for
many years, have been violently opposed to the
Colonization Society, and will not now, they say,
have any thing to do with it, though their preu-
dces against Liberia have ceased, that would avail
themselves of such conveyance cheap and
quick-to emigrate to Liberia. The society, also,
would be able TO increase the number of emigrants
coming out under its auspices, at the moderate
rate of passage proposed, two hundred per cent.
Inc commercial advantages winch VIII accrue
to both countries, especially the United States, are
important considerations. But ! am needlessly
taking up your time. You have maturely con-
sidered all these things. and have arrived at just
conclusions with respect to the future result !
sincerely pray that God may spare both your life
and mine to see the contamination of this great
work. am exceedingly gratifed at the favor the
proposition has met with at Washington. hope,
ere this, a bill favorng the views Of Judge Bryan
and his associates has been presented to Congress,
and has obtained the concurrence Of that body.

different departments Of the Exhibition but have
not perceived any thing new in the American de-
partment, and sincerely hope no attempt will be
nade to increase our part Of the Exposition. We
lave got our name up, and il will be impossible 10
face the impression which we have created by the
neegreness of our contributions. All we have TO
10 is to wait patiently for the distribution Of
medals, when, / am still confident, we shall take
some of the highest honors.
But what we should do is to place our own au-
thors, artists, and artisans on an equality with
those Of other nations, by giving them the
ry protection, and have no fear that they will not
give good account of themselves.
EngIishInen sometimes talk about the triaing
character of American legisation; bat the trihing
nature of many of the subjects discussed by Par
lament, and made theoccasion of enormously long
and dull leaders in the Times, Chronicle, Daily
Nelos Morning Post, &c, is the cause of continual
lstonishment to Americana. The Ecclesiastical
Titles Assumption bill. for instance, which has oc-
cupied the greater part of the time of Parliament
during the past year, appears 10 an American
like the merest talk about nothing that rational
beings could engage in; and now Parliament and
public are engaged in the daily disc .asion of the
'chicory question:" which is simply question
whether or not the government will permit grocers
to adulterate ground coffee with chicory. There
has been so much discussion of this matter in and
out of Parliament-so many meetings called about
it-and many frightful disclosures made of the
manner in which London tradesmen adulterate
every article sold by them in the shape of tea cof
fee, sugar, chocolate, and even bread and milk
that can never sit down TO my breakfast or din
ner without my imagination acting SO powerfully
upon my stomach as to destroy all appetite for the
food placed before me. An article by Dickens, in
the Household Words, not long since, called the
Cow with the Iron Tail, revealed the disgusting pro-
cess OF making London milk from calves brains,
chalk, and pump water; the Lancet has developed
certain startling facts by actual analysis showing
that London coffee is composed of chcory, sawdust
and other offensive and unnameable artices that
London tea is chiefly sloe-leaves, and London red
pepper brick dust. There is nothing genuine in
London, if we are to believe the London papers, but
fog and smoke. C. H. A.

we cannot magnanimously refrain from inform
ing him that the very intrigues for obtaining
the support of Abolitonists and Free-soilers,
which it denounces with such Indignation, is
now going on in its own party. We do this
because we know that those who, in the most
disinterested and rigid manner, supervise the
affairs Of others, unconsciously fail to observe
the arrangement of their own. Thus our vio-
lently virtuous neighbor, intent upon exposing
Wing intrigues. has failed to notice piece Of
political immortality going on in his own house
hold
We deem il our duty to call his attention to
this, that he may, for the sake of our national
reputation and his own, put stop to it.
This charge will be found in another column,
duly proven by the recent attempt at Tamma-
ny to restore the harmony of the Democratic
party. In this our Mortified censor will find
the most fragrant proof that combination is
meditated between the Abolition Democrats
and the friends of the Compromise; that the
party is determined that such trifles shall no
longer separate friends, or bar the doors of office
against them.
We shall expect the grateful acknowledge
ments of our neighbor for this disclosure. He
will no doubt honestly acknowledge that the
turpitude which he imputed to his opponents
has been attempted amongst his friends.

GREAT STATES BECOMING SMALL OERs.-There
is a great truth in the following remarks, which
are extracted from Sir Henry Bulwer's eloquent
speech at Capon Springs:
al do not, however, agree with some preceding
speakers that it is altogether unnatural uncom-
mon to find in great southern States icho speak
ui difference Of the possibility Of those great States
becoming small ones. [Sensaton.l There are such
men in my own country, and am not astonished
at it. II you toGnt TO knoio the udlue Of health, you
must not srpecf TO ascertain IL from inquiry Of the
strong and robust IS the inuaiid tcho riH tell IL TO
you; and thus IL is toih nations. II you wish to
learn the value of national power and national
greatness, you must ask the question of the Pole, the
Venetian, The Genoese-of the people toho, oicing 10
their divisions and their tosakness haze lost national
eristsnce or you must direct your inquiry to the
people OF those snau States in Europe or America
which still exist, but, tohile they enjoy the name of
Independence alternately under The dicdtorship of
domestic factions or foreign force. [Applause. ]
Honor, then, to the man who collects from the ag
moral power to assuage local passions, and keep
within appropriate limits party discontents." Zap
plausc.l
Sir Henry Bulwer has made many happy hits in
his various festival orations in this country says
the Richmond Republican, but he never hit the nail
more plumply on the head than in the above senti-
ments. The present generation, says that journal,
has never known any thing but national health
and strength, and hence il is that some among US
talk with fippant tongue Of the fatal nalady Of
disunion. Let them look at Poland, Venice, and
Genoa, and see the insignifcance and obscurity
which must follow division.

TO buy the skin of a bear until he

are said never 10 buy the skin of bear until he
has been caught
"Conhne our convention also 10 nominations of
State offices. Letthe Presidential question rest
Mr.. VAN BUREE argues the wisdom of this
proposition, and comes 10 wise conclusion:
''Put the Democratic party of New York in a
majority at home, and the preference of New York
will be very apt to be the preference of the national
convention. We then go into the national
contest with honor and with zeal. We can repeat,
upon larger theatre, the scenes which we shall
have rehearsed at home"
We will now translate, for the benefit of our
Democratic friends, the design of this Tamma
ny Convention, and the plan recommended for
their adoption by Democratic leader.
This Tammany meeting was called to heal
the only division which ''lacerated" the Dem
ocratic party. This division was between the
friends of the Compromise, represented by
MessIs. CAss, RITCHIE, DALLAS, of the first
part, and the Free-soil opponents of the Fugi-
tive Slave law; the friends of the Wilmot pro-
viso, represented by Messrs. VAN BUREN and
DIX.
Their purpose is to negotiate some basis of
Democratic party in power. The plan propos
ed by Mr.. VAN BUREN is harmony Of the par
ty for the sake of the spoils. 1t proposes
/. To organize on State issues.
2 To exclude Federal differences.
3. To make no Presidential nomination.
The purpose avowed is to ''expel the Goths
from the State Capitol" and then to carry the
Presidential election.
How fiagitous is this proposal! How coolly
is it made by this political manager, who has
improved an hereditary cunning by hardihood
native to himself. He would unite Free-soil
ers and Compromises to carry New York. He
hopes by this unnatural union TO carry the Pres
idential election. Now, We anticipate that our
supervisors of the Union will deny the Democ-
racy of JOHN VAN buren,. This they are
estopped from doing by two circumstances;
first, he claims to belong TO the only genuine
Democracy. His claims are admitted by the
invitation addressed to him by the grand sa
chem and committee of Tammany Hall. He
was to have sat at the feast of reconciliation
with Messrs. CAss and BUCHANAN; and though
he comes reelkng from the orgies of abolition
in Vermont, yet he is welcome, if he can teach
the means Of extricaton from the labyrinth into
which disingenuousness has led the party to
which he belongs. Mr.. VAN buren, has here
tofore denounced the other branch of his party
with great gusto. He has said as hard things Of
Mr.. CAss and Mr.. RITcHIE as they can possl-
bly, say of him.
We trust that the Democratic party will not
repudiate one of the "brethren" of Tammany
so well accredited. IL they continue to denounce
him, we shall be compelled to suspect that
their tactics are those OF marauders, who en-
deavor to gain the confidence of those with
whom they associate by the most violent abuse
of each other, but who meet with the utmost
cordiality to devise the means of despoiling the
credulous dupes who may believe that they can
possibly be sincere even in that bad opinion of
each other which they entertain in common
with the world.

[PREsIDENT FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
1.-THE Presidents message, at the opening of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
fnalsettement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
neutrality-suspicious. and connexion, they formed
a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from coHHCuhg seCuohhi interest," anu
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion, 80
far ne I know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace ofthe country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and everyconside-
ration of the public good demands this If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does notexpect to stand at all. >.

FATAL DUEL AT New ORLEANs.-A telegraphic
despatch from New Orleans of the 18th instant
states that duel had been fought on that day be-
tween Dr. Thomas Hunt and ]. w. Frost, of the
"CrescenP' newspaper, and that Mr.. Frost fell
dead at the fret fire, his antagonists ball having
pierced his heart. We had hoped that the anti
duelling society at New Orleans would have pre-
vented such occurrences ss this.
In the New Orleans Della of the Sth instant, we
have key to this melancholy affair. BY a report
in that paper, it appears that meeting was held
on the previous evening, at the "Shades" in that
city, for the purpose of nominating Whig candi-
date for Congress; that majority of that meeting
were in favor OF Mr.. Hunt as candidate, and re-
fused to hear any explanation from Mr.. Marks, n
rival candidate, to take into consideration
OF resolutions which were offered in his behalf
The minority then adjourned to neghborng
place, and addressed by Mr.. Frost who in
the course Of his remarks, which were generally
free from personalities, used the following remark:
''Mr. Marks, gentlemen, Che ia known to you,)
has nine brothers, and all aofe, at that Laugh
ter, and cries of "where is brother Randall? I"
In the course of his speech, the Della says, Mr..
Frost was interrupted by voice from the crowd,
which proved to be that of Dr. Hunt: "You lie; you
are d---d liar.' Mr.. Frost, at the conclusion of
his speech, in alluding to this interruption said he
could not resent an insult offered by one from a
crowd-but if be had said any thing offensive to the
Hunts, no held himself personally responsible.
1t is probable, therefore, that this is the origin Of
the difficulty which has cost Mr. Frost his life.
second telegraphic despatch says that writs
have been issued against DIR. Hunt and his Sc
conds on the charge of murder, and Of being nc
cessory thereto.
