pers Of the speech of General Pierce at New Bos-
ton last January. has caused no little excitement
in that section. Southern men, Of all others, have
a profound contempt for hypocritical politicians.
Orders were Immediately sent ON by the faith
fup at Washington, that something must be got
up TO counteract the effects of this fatal develop
ment at the South Accordingly runners were
last week searching every nook and corner of New
Boston and vicinity to drum up signers to some
sort OF manifesto which they hope will hush up
the affair. They will find it useless task to at
tempt to conceal well-authenticated truths, and
which for months were admitted to be such by
Themselves"

HUMANE ACr-We see it stated that dray-
man, during one of the recent hot days. had an
awning spread over his horse to keep off tho suns
One end Of the wing was supported upon the top
of the front stakes of his cart, and the other end
upon the names of the harness. There was suffi-
cient room between the animals back and the
awning for the circulation Of air. and the shade of
it eectually protected the beast from the heat of
the sun. Such an act shows the considerate and
humane man, and contrasts very strongly with the
conduct of some individuals we have seen in our
most public streets towards their dumb beasts. A
blow of the butt of a whip across the jaws, kick
in the side from heavy boot, and driving their
animals till they are all in foam, are the only
evidences of kindness that the poor animal receives
During this hot weather too much care cannot be
taken Of horses by their owners drivers. They
are much subject to the influence of heat as
man, and the loss Of fine animal, ovcrtasked in
his labor is the penalty that is frequently paid for
brutality or indifference for his wants.

Extract OF Letter from nIi..i..ippl.
JACKSON, MIssIssIPpI, July %, 1852

To the Editor of the Republic, Warrington:
SIR: The br lnncy Of Mr.. Webster's and Mr..
Fillmore's characters, and the ardent devotion Of
the Wing party 10 them, bad somewhat obscured
vision to the merits Of other great men; and
not hailed with that enthusiasm that the cause
itself should have inspired. For my own part,
thought Mr.. Fillmore had 60 conducted the at
fairs of the nation not only to endear himself to
the Wing party, but to just men of all parties
everywhere; that he had, in short, achieved suf
fciency Of fame tor any one man, and that, in
fact, it would be but consulting his true glory to
allow him to retire. My pUsonaI preference. there.
fore, (and this was the feeling Of thousands of
Wings in this State,) would have dictated the no
mination of MIR. Webster, and he would have
been supported here by the party with an enthu-
Siam that would have known bounds. II
would have surpassed that with which we fought
under the ilI-iated but glorious flag of the lament
ed Harry Of the West in 1874. But if the Wing
party be worth preservng-and that 1t ia let its
BILE deeds in the past speak--we should have a
higher object in view than the mere elevation Of
any man. Taking this flew Of the subject-and

except Mr.. Crittenden could have given more
satisfaction than Mr.. &c raham. No Wing in this
State has ever said that he would not do for any
office, from Vice Presidentpp. .

MuriLArIoN OF BANK NoTEs.--In suit before
an alderman in Pittsburgh, to recover OF the Elk
change Bank the value of five dollar mutated
note, the alderman decided that the possessor Of
the note was only entitled 10 four dollars. The
note had about an inch torn out of the middle of
it, which, ii wns contended by the officers OF the
bank could, with a like amount from five other
notes, form sixth bill, and one equally as good
and passable ns that presented at the bank for
dcmption. The bank had offered to give four dol
lars for the note, but IL refused, and the full
value of the face Of the note demanded.

The question pending wss on an amendment re-
ported by the Committee on Finance, to strike out
the following provision:
"For additional compensation to the Menomo-
nees for the sale of their lands in the State Of Wis
consin by the treaty Of October Is, lS4s, two hun.
bred and twenty one thousand eight humid red and
forty dollars; the same to be paid in such sums
and at such times. with the appreciation OF said
nation, as the President may think most conducive
TO their prosperity and happiness"
Mr.. HUNTER explained that the appropriation
Was TO compensate the Menomonees Tor an excess
OF land in their cession to the United States over
and above what that cesson was supposed at the
tins to contain He opposed the appropriation at
length, and said he considered 1t almost certain
that his money would not be of any value to the
Indians, a large share Of IL would fall into the
hands of agents By the treaty they were required
to remove within two years to country assigned
them; this they had not done, they being dssatis-
fled with the home set apart for them. He thought
il better to remove them temporarily to another
part Of Wisconsin, and would, if this appropria-
ton was stricken out, move to insert provision
Messrs. ATCHIsoN, SEBASTIAN. WALKER.
BELL, and CASS continued the debate; and the
motion to strike out was agreed to.
Mr.. HUNTER then moved to insert in lieu OF
what had been struck out, the following, which
was agreed to:
For expenses of their temporary removal and
provisions from their present location to the dis
