ments Of the world, that of Great Britain itself
included, we need only add the well-known fact
that it is part of the system of the Foreign
Office of that government to place at the dispo-
sal of its diplomatic representatives in other
countries large secret service Tor bribery and
corruption) fund.
And who is Mr.. Corcoron? Is he not the repre-
sentative of that vast money power which Is
centred in London, and which controls the money,
the commerce, and the goods of the world Was
he not, a few years ago, mere runner for n bank
in this city, unable to meet the smallest demand,
until this vast money power discovered his abili-
ties and suitabilies for their purposes, and made
him their agent And has he not by this agency
in operations with the treasury of the United
States, amassed within few years princely
fortune. which fills with wonder and amazement
your fellow-ctizens, when on stated days, and in
princely fashion, he condescends to throw open
his gorgeous mansion and costly works of art to
the curious and astonished public? And if such
be the profits of his agency, what must have been
the profits of his principals and employers in
London? Does he not as their representative,
claim access to our halls of legislation? Does
he not as their representative, claim entrance to
the floor of the Senate, from which, as mere
American citizen, he would be excluded? And
does he not, as their representative, arrogate to
himself the right to take his seat, not only behind
the BAR but within the bar, of the other House Of
the American Congress?
Is it not the duty of the public press in this
country, as watchful sentinels and jealous
guardians of the public interests, to let the Peo-
pie Of the United States know of the approaches
and encroachments of that great money power
which he represents? And does he not control the
press SO that it speaks keeps silent at his bid
ding? We assert that he does, and need only refer
to the fact that two of the leading political presses
Of this city refused to publish our memorial-re'
fused to permit us to make known to the people
of the United States through their columns, the
facts Of this case, which the people were So

The gain to Mexico under our contract would
have been, on the premium Of exchange, from
1924, 800 to 1851, 800-in addition to our COM
mission, and much larger sum Of usurious in
terest, which that government would have been
enabled thereby to save to the Mexican treasury.

Co. are under the contract given them by Mr..
Webster. The amount payable on the third and

But the control which their contract gives
them over the fund, as above explained, also
enables them to speculate on the necessities Of
the Mexican government, by extorting the usu-
rious intrest of from II to 2 per cent. month
on advances, which the necessity Of protecting
her nothern frontiers, aggravated as it has been
by the admitted failure of the United States
to fulfil the treaty, forces it to accept from
them. And, aided as they are by the British
government, whose Charge is now threaten
ing Mexico with blockade on account Of the
non-payment Of the bonds which they hold,
the control which their contract gives may enable
them to force her to accept at par, and in lieu Of
the money due to her by the United States, Mex.
lean bonds, which they have purchased up al
from 20 to 80 cents in the dollar.
In the letter Of Mr.. De 10 Rosa, and accompa-
nying certificates, appended to the report trans.
mitted through you to the Senate, you have con
elusive proof that their contract does give them
this control, and that it has been abused as
stated.
Supposing, then, that they are thus enabled
by their contract to extort from Mexico from II
to per cent O month on but one-half of the
indemnity say $3, OOO, 900, for say, average time
IL months, we have of
usurious interest from $540, 900 to $720, 000

fit by exchange 446,490 to 796,785

And if the Earrings g. Co. succeed, by Mr..
Doyle's threat of British blockade, in forcing
Mexico to accept, for part of the money-say

Facts for the Next Edition OF Uncle
Toms Cabin.

a correspondent of the Martinsburg Gazette
furnishes The follow ing facts for The next ed-
ton of Uncle Toms Cabin:
There died lately in lower county of Vir-
GINA muatto man who had been manumitted
by his master and was under cur law one of
those persons who was permitted TO remain IN
Virginia. His muster had with his liberty,
left him respec able property, and this man
by Industry accumulated an estate of $50, 600.
He had purchased his Wife, who was a slave;
and his children were therefore his own prop
er!y as well as his wife.
Falling into bad health, he vent to Philadel-
phia sometime during this last summer for
II edica advice, but learning from the best ply
slcians that his health was worse than he
thought ard that he could not live, he wrote to
relative OF his old master to come on for him
which this gentleman did, and stayed " it'll him
and brought him back to Virginia at his re-
quest. He died shortly after his return. not
long since; and by his last will left all lbs cs-
tate 10 tbs gentleman, as WELL AS HIS WIFE
ANE CHILDREN, who are thus the SlaceS If his
Ttend-trusting of course, that he would care
Tor them and provide for them.
Here was an intelligent, wealthy man who
knew the condition oil colored people in the
Northern States, that preferred to leave his
wife and children and al! his property 10 a
white man, to sending them out of the Stale.
to live as free persons with fine estate.
These are notorious and recorded facts and
can be proved if dened and there are mann
"ch occurrences among our colorod people
which might be made public to put TO shame
