Judge Douglas In New York.

In notice of the recent dinner at the open
ing of the Metropolitan Hotel, in New York,
the Eueniag Post reports speech of the juve
nile giant, in which he gives very succinct
and satisfactory statement of the stewardship
OF the members of Congress in the late session
II is decidedly the best speech the Judge has
made for some time, and will do him less harm
than any one Of the four great speeches in
which be has preached his magnificent ideas of
annexation and occupation, and tonnage duties,
to say nothing of his constitutional objection to
General ScoTT's project for naturalizing for
eigners who serve certain time in the army
and navy during war. But we must hasten to
DOUGLASS last:
"There were loud calls for a speech; but MIR.
Douglas said that he was on his way home from
Washington, to join in the political contest, and he
came to this city to engage in that contest; and he
would not, therefore, in an assembly in which there
were men of all shades of opinion, enter upon
speech.
"He was exceedingly grateful, however, for the
enthusiastic reception extended TO him, which was
some recompense for the tolls of public life. The
last session OF Congress, at which the public bust
meas had been despatched cloud and incrodulous
laughter)-at any rate while we were attending
to the business of the public(s louder laughter
and ironical cheers)-weli, If we did nothing, the
country ought to thank for what we did not do,
(cheers and laughter again)-at least it is thank
full for our adjournment-(t three hearty cheers,
with the sentence unfnished.) After repeating his
thanks, and an apology for General Cass, the Sen
tor sat down, when the assembly dispersed"

From the Ne,p York Epcning Post,

When SCOTT and GRAHAM were nominated, there
were ninety-two members of the popular branch OF
Congress who supported Mr.. Clay in 1874. OF
these, twenty -four, more than one-quarter of the
whole number, have been publicly proclaimed as
hostile to the success of that nomination. Not one
| of the twenty -four is known to have "put pen to
paper" to deny this impuation of hostility; while
the most of them have AIKEN pains to let it be known
that they mean to make their hostility effective.
As this detection is striking point in the present
canvass, suboin list of the twenty four mem
bers above referred to:
James Abercrombie, of Alabama; Charles Allen,
| of Massachusetts; Edward c. Cabell, of Florida ;
Joseph p. Caldwell, Of North Carolina; Thomas l.

of Virginia: Meredith p. Gentry, of Tennessee;

F. Strother, of Virginia; Robert Toombs Of Georgia;
Amos Tuck, of New Hampshire; Christopher II.
Williams, Of Tennessee; Alexander White, of
Alabama.
Let US look. MIR. ALLEN has not been a
Wing these four years. Mr.. FAULKNER has
never been more than halfa WING. Mr.. GID
DlNGs and HORACE MANN abandoned the

The Republic of the slst Angus, contains another
batch of false statements from the pen Of ezra
vellcr," who, in his first essay, affected to have
great regard for the welfare of the public; but, if
! am not very much mistaken. the feeling was al
together for his o,cn pocket. The last communica-
ton from him shows that it was The pecuniary in
terests of the Washington and Collyer that he has
at heart, and not the public. have neither time
nor disposition TO follow him through all his work
ipgs and twistings, which have been notorious
here for some time past, and has afforded good
deal of amusement; but when man sets out to
give nform to the public, he ought 70 do 1t
with clean hands and be free from suspicion. Now,
is very evident that it 10 self interest that prompt
ed "Travcllor' to take the course he hae; and had
he confined himself to the truth, should never
have thought ii worth my while TO notice him.
II is not true that Captain Guy left the Phenx
because sbe out. IL il not true that she
has not been hauled up but once for repairs. II is
not true that the W ashington and Coliyer carried
carriages, &C., at the same price the Phenix did
terly false, that any paper OF any kind, hav.
ing reference to certificate for the hull OF the
Phenix, ever written and carried to Mr..
Goodhand to sign; that gentlemen expressed .
willinR ncss to certify that the boat was in good
order sea worthy, and competent for the business
che was engaged in. Her owners did not pretend
che entirely sound. They knew, and go does
"Traveller," that che was strong enough anu per-
fectly safe. As TO soundness, il is q we'll known
fact that the Colyer hauled up, and rotten
plank AIKEN out of her when she was hardly year
old. She has not been examined since. Should
che be, ! think it quite likely little more Of the
same sort might be found.
AS regards a riper boat, "Travcller" may be con-
suited about that; but it will be time first; his
dirty rork in that matter has not been lost sight OF
As TO repenge, no one who knows his fawning and
sneaking ways could possibly harbor any against

Letter from Alabama.

TUSCALOOSA, August "a, 1852.
My DEAR SIR: Being a workingman, have no
time to write politics; but, there is room on
this sheet, will merely say that we had ratfca-
ton meeting here yesterday in the court house, and
it wac much more numerously attended than ex-
pected. We appointed enc hundred delegates to
attend Wing Convention to be held at Mont
gomery the first Of next month, principally to
select Whig State electoral ticket. Heretofore we
had none there; and there arc few of who think,
by making a proper cxertion, we can carry the
State in November next for ScoTT and GRAHAM.
Although this has been always a strong Loco
State, we, in the Legislature of 1910, lS4l, came
within four members of tie. This we did with
the good aud brave Old Tippecanoe. feel SAN
guine we can do more with the great and
glorious leaders now have put forth. | feel
proud of such a leader Scott. My heart has
been with him for years. and feel proud to think
he for short time my commander,
and had slight personal acquaintance with The
General. l most sincerely hope the American
people will not only elect him, but put him in the
Presidential chair by large majority, as a con-
domination of the of the late administration,
and their lieutenant general and the General Pill

bury; N. E. Torrey, of Fitchburg; Rufus Bedlock,
of Royalston; Ezekiel r. Colt, of Pittsfeld.
A correspondent of the New York Times
furnishes the following synopsis of the resolu-
tions adopted by the convention:
1.-The resolutions adopted pay tribute to the
fidelity Of President FILLMORE and his Cabinet;
declare that our fishermen may rely with conf
dence on a Wing Administration to protect them
and their rights; that General ScoTr was fairly
nominated by the Wing National Convention, and
that the Wing party 10 bound in good faith to sup
port him, and expresses their determination to dis
countennnce every attempt to break up the Wing
party, from whatever quarter it may come; that
the Wing party of Massachusetts, as Wings of the
Union, will stand by the Constitution and the
Union; and that the rights of petition to Congress
for the redress of wrong and the correction of evils
which that body has legitimate control, ought
to be held inviolate. and never be surrendered;
that home industry and home markets should be
protected; and finally, in the words of Mr.. WEE
sTER Oh a former occasion, that in the dark and
troubled night that is upon Us, star above
the horizon promising light to guide US, but the
intelligent, patriotic, united Wing party

Mr.. VenabIe.

The Union contains paragraph very COM
plimentary to Mr.. VENABLE of North Caro-
lima. This is a novelty. How long has the
Union been enamored of the political doctrines
and opinions of Mr.. VENABLE? Is it not
aware that this gentleman is as bitter an oppo-
nent of the Compromise measures, and as
thorough going an enemy of the Union, as is to
be found within its limits? We pity our con
temporary, when the exigencies of his position
compel him to cooperate with Mr.. VENABLE
on one hand, and PRESTON KING on the other!

serve that in debate in the Senate, as reported in
the Baltimore Sun, one day last week, the follow
ing paragraph appears in speech of Mr.. MAN
GUM, of North Carolina:
"Mr. MANGUM alluded to the great importance
to the country and to the Wing party that the
consistency OF the head OF the Central Committee
of that powerful and to- be victorious party should
be maintained. He opposed the whole bill. He
reason for taking away the printing of the
Departments to give 1t to the political press. No
complaints had ever been heard against the con-
tract system as regarded the printing for the De-
partments.
.'Mr. DOUGLAS said that there were complaints;
he could show that the system as practiced there

"Mr MANoum said perhaps there were occa.
sionai petty paltry tricks committed in the Depart

The SENATE UPON TEHUANTEPEc.-If there
were nothing else commendabe in the closing
scenes Of Congress, the report Of the Senate COM
mittee upon the Tehuantepec claim would conceal
hoat of delinquencies. 1t is just, spirited, manly.
Emanating from the most conservative branch of
Government, il has double the weight of any more
popular manifesto. The committee examined the
thoroughly. Their report reviews, with the
utmost candor, the whole complicated history of
the business, and concludes with dictum entirely
conclusive to the justice of the American claim;
and an intimation that Mexico has now no other
alternative than compliance war. AS the same
ground has been occupied by the President and
Secretary of State, from the earliest official recog
milton of the Hargous grant, we may assume the
position Of the Government as definitely settled
We may speculate about the action of Mexico, be-
cause the actions of Mexico always fair SUBJ
jccts for speculation and thanks to the peculiarly
tortuous course which her politics in relation to
the question have assumed, our prophecies are
likely to have a sufficiently dubious look.
