tort the assault Dir. CLAY had made on Mr..
RHETT before he came to the Senate, There
was no opportunity.
The Republic intimates that Mr.. RHErT's
speech was not published Immediately after its
delivery--but was withheld, at his request, for
revision. That is often done, and done by Mr.
CLAY, as well as Others. 1t may be necessary
to protect members from the mistakes of repor-
tiers, as well as from their own mistakes.
The truth is, our system of reporting is mis-
cradle. We have been told Of cases where a
Senator was repeatedly coufuted and exposed
in debate, and afterwards he would go and
change in the report the essential portions OF
his speech, to conceal from the public the knowl-
edge of his defeat We know that whole
speeches of Southern Senators and members
were last winter withheld or delayed from the
official reports, whilst the speeches of others
were sent forth to the country to produce their
effect, long before the combination of them could
follow We intend to reform this abuse next
session.

From the Mem York Herald.

NEw YORK, Saturday, April l9, 1851.
James Gordon Bennett, esq, editor Of he Herald,
SIR:--I have been very anxiously inquired of.
by persons having friends in Nicaragua, concern.
ing the probable truth of the rumor copied in
the Herald Of this morning, from the New Or.
leans Picayune, in which Il is said that num-
Der Of our citizens resident in that country have
been killed, and the remainder driven out, in
consequence Of q hostility among the natives.
instigated by English agents am convinced
that the rumor Is not well founded. II bears on
its face an air Of improbility. The feeling Of
the government and people Of Nicaragua to-
wards our citizens, has always been of the most
friendly character no where In tie world have
they been more kind or Hospitality received.
No doubt the confidence Of Nicaragua in our
government has been very much shaken by the
sudden reversal of General Taylor's policy there
know the deepest feeling Of disappointment
peryades all classes, for they have relied i'm
plleltly upon the good faith Of the United States
and upon its support in their unequal contest
with Great Britain. II Is question whether
their confidence can ever be fully repained.--
But you may rest assured that the shortcomings
The southern press., 1851-04-23

were Messrs. Chandler, Walker, Phillips, and
Campbell
The " peace measures" of the last Congress
were pretty well riddled. Mr.. Chandler gave 4
thorough exposition of them, but was arrested
In theconclusion Of his argument by hoarseness
which prevented him from speaking. Judge
Dargan, who was to speak, was kept away by
circumstances beyond his control. The Other
speakers, however, we'll supplied his place.
In his opening remarks, the President alluded
to the value and influence of Southern Rights
Associations. They had, he declared, aroused
the people Of the State to the imminency of the
danger which threatens them. They had done
great good. They are a permanent part of ouI
Southern politics. The cause which they advo.
cate, he said, is growing in the State. He knew
it from undoubted information-af fact which no
enlightened man will dispute. Any person who
thinks that the cause of the South is not now
stronger in this State than it was six months
ago, has not well observed the signs of the
times Before the lapse Of three years it will
sweep off like chaff every politician who will
have the hardihood to set himself against it.
We did not hear the concluding speech of the
President, or that of Col. Walker.
Col. Phillips delivered an admirable address.
The miserable attempt to organize a " Union
party, under false pretences, he characterized
in terms of truth and justice. II was an attempt,
he said, to encourage the assaults Of the anti
slavery men on the South. 1t reminded him of
the passage between Webster and Adams. The
former had declared, in alusion to the war Of
1912, that he would not take up arms, though
the enemy were battling at the walls Of the cap-
toll The gentleman replied Adams, has but
one other step, and that is to join the enemy.
Those who are organizing against the true men
of the Sonth, now laboring to vindcate the laws
and establish the Union on stable foundation,
like Webster, have but one other step to take
and that is to join the enemies of the South.
The hit was true, and told admirably, for if
attempts here to defeat those who labor to Sc
cure justice to us can be encouraged, we do not
see why anti-slavery itself may not be tolerated
among us.
The meeting adjourned in capital spirits.
We learn that it has been resolved to hold a
mass meeting ofthe Southern rights men IN Mo
bile someachere topards the close of nert month,
when we shall have the presence and aid of dis
tinguished orators from adjoining States. On
that occasion, we trust Mr.. Soule will perform
the promise he made last year to the people of

feared an attempt would not be made, to fix
upon them the character Of foreign power, by
drawing the widest lines between them and the
neighboring States.
Judge Butler breads peaceable secession, and
looks with alarm upon the Indications that South
Carolina will be allowed to withdraw from the
Union without protestation. The belligerent
senator would place the spirited little State in
the attitude Of Mark Meddlr, who was always

Dimoulty OF Government.

OmoulCy Oh government.
We do not remember to have read Of time
when there was such confusion among great ma
tional parties all over the world, there is now.
In England Parliament has, in the usual mode,
declared its want Of confidence in the present
ministry. And therefore half dozen different
attempts have been made to form new one
but all without success. in France similar
difficulty exists. At the latest dates, LOUIS
NAPOLEON was informed by ODILLoE BARRoT
that he could not combine the materials for a
ministry and the President was compelled TO
Keep the old cabinet in power
In Prussia, the minister, MAKTEUTFEL, has
been repudiated for making too much conces-
ION to Austria; but the Prussian monarch has
iiled to obtain new one.
1t is quite remarkable that if our ministry, or
Administration, were dependent for duration on
the Legislature, they would have to retire, as the
Wing party is not in majority in that body.
tut if the Wing Administration were to resign,
eshould have precisely such ministerial crisis
that of England, France, and Prussia. Here,
there, no party is strong enough to conduct
ne government. We have a Whig,a Demo-
cratic, Southern, and Free-soil party,
neither Of which has majority in the country.
or can have one in Congress. In England they
have Conservative, Wing, and Radical
party In France, Monarchica, Republican,
and Socialist party. In Prussia, an Absolute, a
Liberal, and Federal party.
In England, France, and Prussia, the existing
ministers are in minority, but are retained, be-
cause it has been thus far impossible to find
those who are in majority. In this country,
the attempt will be made at the next Presiden.
tial election to secure majority for some party,
and it will probably fail-and Congress will
have to choose, and then we shall have a minis
erial crisis.

secession means in South Carolina and Mr..
Rhett, the other United States senator of this
State, on the same day, was still more explicit
in some remarks delivered at meeting in this

Cincinnati A. s. Bazaar.

THE Anti-Slavery Sewing Circle Of Cincin-
nuti, having been successful beyond their most
sanguinc expectations in their efforts last fall,
have resolved to hold another Bazaar the first
0eek n October nert, to be conducted upon the
same principles Of excluding rafting, Unjust
charges upon goods, and all Objectionable feat
uros to Fairs, as usually held. The Society de-
sircs, most earnestly, to make this means of
great usefulness to the cause Of the oppressed,
and call upon all friends to aid them according
TO their several abilities. We beg those who
last year sent US shoes, brushes of all kinds,
china, tins, cabinet ware, such as small chairs,
towel horses, &C., &C., combs, caps, books ho-
siery, groceries, produce of all sorts, to romem-
Der that all found ready sale and helped to give
variety and solidity to the Bazaar. We wish
emphatically to have it a useful one to oil con-
cerned, and anything which helps to make up
the usual routine of household comfort, will be
especially acceptable, as well as the moro taste
full and ornamental. We all spend money
somewhere. Let Abolitionists make it pri,lci-
pie with themselves to sare and spend IL there
Thus shall we operate unitcdly with those who
feel called more Immediately to labor and sacri-
fee in this way. We hope our friends will bear
this in mind and make their arrangements to be
with us or send in their contributions. Any
thing left at Levi Coiiin's Free Labor Produce
Store, Court street, between Main and Walnut
directed to Mrs. Andrew IL. Ernst, will be
gratefully acknowledged.
