of taking the Democratic side upon all questions in
ter pleads guilty in the following very just re-
ply:
We believe it is true, that we are more generally
favourable to Democratic than to Wing measures.
The Wings themselves are of the same opinion in
regard to several measures which once We're Demo-

Statement.
We gave few days since, the reply of General
Wool to the accusation made against him of consent
ing to the punishment and fine of Catholic soldier
for refusing to attend Protestant Church, which
reply has drawn forth the following card from the
soldier himself:
TO THE EDITOR THE New YORK HERALD.-Sir:
Having seen in your paper of yesterday, letter
from Gen. Wool relative to my court martial, you
will permit me to correct several which
that communication contains.
He mentions, that from the testimony of Colonel
Gardiner he has no doubt that had | communicated
my scruples to him, he (Col c. would have excu-
sed me. Now, Col. Gardiner himself has seen
great many of the soldiers at this post punished in
different ways, on account of absenting themselves
from the Protestant place of worship here and it is
evident that if his harsh disposition would permit
him to excuse any of his men, he had many oppor-
tunites of doing Instead of that, l. along with
twenty others, were obliged to stand on log during
six eight hours of the coolest days of win
ter, account of not attending church, and this to
the Colonels own knowledge.
He says that | have only forfeited about five
dollars instead of that ten dollars has been stop
however is the grossly unjust manner in which my
trial conducted by the officers of this post. The
witness who swore that refused to ask permission
of Col C. to get excused from attending church, al
so mentioned that another soldier was with me- As
was convinced that never peremptorily refused
to attend church, displayed anything of spirit
of INSTRUMENTATION called on this person witness
But singular to say, every single question asked
this objected to by the court. because they
believed that his answers would tend to acqut me
|, in consequence of the partiaty did not call on
any other witness.
Yours respectfully, JAMES DUGGAN.

Sir John Franklin.


The Newburyport Herald thinks that solicitude
for the fate of the bold searchers of Franklin
appropriate at the present time all hope of Frank
lin being found alive must be vain. 1t says
Six eight vessels have wintered in some of the
bays inlets which empty into Bafin's Bay, beyond
the point where the whale ships venture and it
will be we'll if other expeditions not required to
recover some of them. The American vessels, we
fear, not sufficiently we'll appointed for the I'M
dertaking and we fear much for the safety of their
crews We know nothing on earth which we should
not rather encounter than a winter in the ice on
board small vessel, above latitude TO- 1t requires
greater amount of courageous effort than to
lead squadron on the bloodest field of battle the
earth ever saw for that trial would be quickly over
and there might be excitement enough in the contest
to carry one through it fearlessly.
Tt is probable that Franklin's vessels which have
now been absent than six years. succeeded in the
first or second season. in reaching point of the
Arctic Sea which is seldom open, perhaps not often
err than once in a generation; and here frozen in.
where they remained until they all persisted by
Geld or starvation Not unlikely the vessels and the
bodies of the men may be found here, and many
thrillingly interesting memorials found recorded in
their journals by their side, which the last of them
no doubt kept as long as life remained

Why 1t :!

We at loss to understand why it is that the
National Intelligencer and many other leading whig
prints manifest such decided hostility to the of
the patriots or friends of freedom in Cuba We had
supposed that the sympathies of every American
naturally and strongly in favor of every effort
to obtain that freedom which we as people enjoy.
But we find the 1ntelligencer, with many kindred
prints as decidedly averse to the awakenngs of lib
erty the most thorough monarchist. Why is it
The question is which should like to see sat-
isactorily answered. In the recent Hungarian strug
gle the lntelgencer always found giving its in
fuenee against the patriots and their cause and
from the first dawnngs of the aspirations for liberty
among the Cubans, that paper has been found
the side of the Spanish authorities, spreading their
version of affairs before the community with evident
pleasure and frowning upon all symptoms of SYM
pathy or encouragement upon the part of our people
These are remarkable facts, and totally inexpcable
to republican and liberty loving minds. We
would not violate the laws of our country-we would
not violate treaty in every pos
sible and honorable mode would encourage the
spirit of liberty among the oppressed of all climes
and show them that sympathies and our warm
est wishes with them in their struggles. This
think is the privilege and the duty of every re-
publican and we can but express establishment
at the opposite pursued openly and strong
ly by the presses alluded to- 1t would seem from all
they say and do that their sympathies and good
wishes all on the side of the oppressors and their
influence always thrown in the scale against the
friends of freedom. -Baltimore Argus

We would call attention to the ad vertise-

establishment is just the thing long wanted
In this place, and we are confident, will be a
benefit TO the country as well as to the enter
pdsing proprietors. Our hills abound with
the finest yellow pine, and any quantity Of
white pine, from the Allegheny can be de-
posted on our wharves. All this can be
worked upin their machines In the best man
fer for flooring and other uses. Their engine
works finely, and their planning machine com
bines the latest Improvements. 1t is won
derful to see how soon rough board is sawed
into strips of any desired width, and passing
through the machine, is smoothsd, tongued,
grooved and made ready for laying down.
How much muscular power measuring,
guaging and haniling is saved by this ingeni-
Gus machine driven by the powerful agent
steam. Our citizens as well as our friends
from the country will be pleased to call and
examine the operations at this establishment.

The New State House.

We are indebted to o. F Moore, Esq, for
the Annual Report of the State House Commis-
sioners. Itappears that there are now some 80
convicts at work in the State House yard, and
that free stone-cutters were employed during
the summer. The building has been raised
fourteen and half feet during the season-its
whole height above the original surface of the
ground being now about thirty feet. In the in
terror the piers are ready to receive the arches
which are to support the floors Of the I'd story
From the liberal appropriation last winter the
Commissioners have been enabled to place
very large stock of stone in the State House
yard, which will be cut during the present win
ter and be ready for laying early in the spring
We may therefore expect the work to go Oh
rapidly next season. The commissioners ask al
appropriation Of 100000, which, if granted
the architectthinks, will enable them to put tn
greater part of the building under roof by 1853
