~ The Union party of Alabama has had
State convention, and resolved to have Ma
tional Convention also-the latter to be held in
Washington in June next. There are, we believe,
but two other States, Miss issippi and Georgia,
where such party exists. The Union party of
these three States is in a curious predicament
1t cannot trust any other party in all the United
States to preserve the Union. Now we would
suppose that if there is no such thing as genu-
inc Union party anywhere, but in three States,
the Union is in danger and the fire eaters can
not be so very premature in preparing fer the
catastrophe. Perhaps, however, the Union party
of those three States intends to compel all the
other twenty-eight States to remain in the
Union, whether or no, and to hang all the PEG.
pie of the said twenty eight States, in case they
shonid attempt the treason of seeding from
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.

"THrNGs Nor so BAD AS THEY SEEm.-Just
before reaching the boats, we came upon large
party of female slaves, on their way down to
Cairo, where, in the lottery of the slave-market,
they were to pass to new masters. They were
penned like sheep in range Of little huts,
formed by hanging mating round a clump of
palm trees, which spread their grateful shade
above. 1t was most amusing, as we drew near,
to see the rush they made to gain cover, and
how they ducked their heads under the mating,
to avoid being seen, though curiosity, the weak
point of the sex, brought up again many pair
of bright eyes, to look at us as we passed
They were nearly all young girls, varying in age

u. S. STEAMER MISSISSIPPI,

AT SEA, Saturday, Oct. A., 1851.
DEAR Sir Il have heard with real pain of
your intention of leaving our ship, and of the
causes which have mpelled you to that step.
But before your departure from amongst us,
have thought that it might not be altogether dis
pleasing to you to know that there are many of
my brother officers, besides myself, who are far
from being of the opinion that you have done
the least thing to compromise our country; and
who, therefore, by no means subscribe to the
charge that has been so unhappily laid at your
door.
The resolution of our country in your favor
was hailed with just pride, but it became a mat
ter of especial qualification when it was known
that the vessel to which we are attacht d, was
designated for the honor of conveying you from
bondage to freedom Your presence upon our
decks was therefore received with Joy, and so
far as yourself and your company are concerned,
has been a source of uninterrupted pleasure up
to the present time. 1t is but natural, them that
your leaving US, even under the most favorable
circumstances, should cause pain but when it
takes place under circumstances so little CRAFTY.
ing to us all, feel absolutely at loss to ex.
press the sentiment it produces; and do not
deceive you as to the character of the American
people, when declare it my firm conviction
that they will be deeply mortified at learning
that any course of conduct on the part Of their
fellow-citizens, and agents abroad, should have
been such, no matter how inadvertently, as to
drive national guest from their doors.
| trust you will not view this voluntary ex-
preston of sentiment an impertinence 1t is
not intended as such but is rather from the
sincere desire that you will do justice to your
well-wishers on board, and not depart from us
under the unpleasant and unjust conviction that
any act on your part has occasioned the least
displeasure.
With sentiments of great esteem for yourself
| personally sir, and n warm sympathy for the
cause you sustain, am, very truly, yours,
CHARLES w. Any.

sg We exposed the other day trick of the
Washington Union, which consisted in publish
ing an extract from Georgia Wing paper, adj
vising the Union party Of that State to 60 into
the Democratic Convention at Baltimore, next
spring. The Union published this extract to
promote reunion of the Democratic party, and
suppressed that part of the article which recon-
mended this movement "a a means of putting
down the Southern party opposed to the Com
promise The suppression of truth is regarded
by meralsts and jurists as of equal turpitude
with the uttennce Of falsehcod.
The Union replies, and without denying our
charge, defends itself on the ground that the
thing was done to promote harmony. Well, it
the end justifies the MEANS and if il is desirable
that the Democratic party should be reunited on
false pretences and misrepresentation, then the
plea of the Union is sufficient. But the Union
does not consider it sufficient, and 80 seeks to

Union can do. Having but a small capital o.

cannot afford to refute the Union on single

no means probable that when blunder has taken

INTERVENTION" IN THE SENArE.-By re-
course to our Congressional reports, it will be
seen that Senator Seward has introduced reso.
iutions into the Senats, expressing, in their full
breadth, the prevalent views of the American
people upon intervention. It is, of course, ex-
tremely doubtful whether those resolutions will
prove acceptable and passable, in that eminently
conservative body it is not at all doubtful
that they will be foored by the spirit of dema-
gogism in the House. But neither one event
nor the other can affect the question materially
Such is the feeling of the people. If the soil
be right, it matters little what sort of i'll weeds
are grown upon it. And the constituency of
all the members, voting yea or nay, has pro-
nounced decidedly in favor of asserting the ma
tiona value in the body police of the world. At
worst the spirit of the minority will give foreign
despotism an idea of what the future, if not the
present, will be sure to do for the cause of hu.

distinguished clergyman of the Church of Eng

the decided opinion that no action of the British
