A scrap now on its travels adds another tC
the thousand existing illustrations of the ig-
norance which exists amongst the most enlght-
ened classes of Britain in regard to the politics
and politicians of the United States. Here
it is:
"The London Examiner believes in the genuine
ness of the Boston Commemorative pretended reply
of the Austrian government to Mr. Webster's
Hulsemann letter! 1t attributes President Fill
more's cold and cautious language about Kossuh
to the impression produced by that reply"
The London Times was caught with the
same hoax, having published 1t as genuine
State document, rejecting favoraby the spirit
of Chevalier HULsEMANN.
As the British press and people are anxious
ly making ovsrtures for ali alliance, offensive
and defensive, with the United States, it seems
not unreasonable to expect that, as preliminary
step, they should increase their stock Of know
ledge in relation to us. 'Society for the en-
lightenment of Engishmen" would be not
un Secoming reciprocation of their kindness and
consideration. Perhaps Mr.. X. j. WALKER
may be prevailed upon to act as the first mis-
sionary in connexion with the new organiza-
tion.
The inability of Spanish editors to dstin-

Public attention is becoming more and more at
raced to the subject Of the colonization of the free
persons OF color and we hope that tho project Of
establishing African line OF steamers will be re-
newed during the present session OF Congress.
Humanity and policy equally demand the adoP-
ton Of the measure, as ii would open safe and
acceptable mode Of disposing of class Of popuIa-
tion which will. sooner later, be compelled to
seek home in other lands. This must be evident
to the most casual observer of the "signs of the
times" and the object ia assuming 80 much i'm
portance that it cannot be much longer neglected
by Congress. AS the bill before reported to
Congress, cheap passag ge was secured TO Africa
in commodious and comfortable steamers, which
would be an induccment to those disposed to be.
come coonists and we feel quite sure that if such
avenue were opened, and the advantages made
plain, colonization would progress at pace which
would soon relieve the country of its free coored
population. Emancipation of slaves will follow as
a natural consequence; and the time may arrive
when slavery will become extinct in the Union.
But will not set slaves free to remain in the
country
1t Is notorious that some Of the free States ar
anxious TO get rid Of the free coored people within
their limits whilst some of these have passed laws
to prevent their increase by emigration. The evils
OF this class OF population probably felt in
greater degree in the free than in the slave States
for in the latter free persons of color kept in
better subordnaton, and do not aspire to an equal
ity with the whites that can never exist. Let Con-
gress, then, establish line Of African steamers,
so that frequent and constant intercourse may be
kept up between this country and the colonies on
that continent, and we shall see the beneficial
results We look for an early movement on the
subject by the same gentleman who presented it
to the consideration of the last Congress. Public
money expended for this purpose will be benefit

pire.

In some OF the counties of western Canada
the colored settlers form quite an element in
elec,ioneering movements. The majority are
located in one or two of the southwestern
counties, Immediately adjoining the river ST.
Clair. and as facilities are afforded for the ac-
QUESTION of small freeholds, they speedily take
their places in the lists Of electors, and m ore or
less influence the result Of the contests.
Some of the Canadian papers attached to the
reform party are complaining Of the mgr ratitude
of the refugees in one of these frontier coun-
ties, who at the late general election recorded
their votes in favor of the tory candidate, and
by that proceeding secured his success. The
liberal journalists allege that they and their
friends have shown themselves most ready to
co operate with schemes designed 10 frustrate
the Fugitive Slave law, and they sherefore
claim the right to control the political opinions
Of the refugees On the other hand, the ne
groes, through their organ, The Doice Of III,
FugifiUe, declare their intention to be guido ed
by the opinions Of the candidate on the subject
OF annexation and TO vote for the man most
determinedly opposed to that measure.
However trivial the controversy in its present
shape, it is not altogether unworthy Of notice
on either side of the line.

The moro reflect upon the character and
course Of the present Administration the greater
is our admiration Of the eminent statesman at it,
head u deserves to be called the Administration
Of common sense. Without aiming TO be brilliant
making prctonsions 90 grand and stri king oual-
ites, IL has proved itsclf az wise and as ga an
Administration as this country has enjoyed since
the days OF Washington. There is no surer mode
Of knowing man than by bis acts The tree is
known 10y its fruits And the fruits borne by this
Administration have been patriotism, honesty jus-
tice, and good faith between MI sections.
The pilot Who, In broad daylight sioers a stately
vessel upon reef OF rocks which looms up full in
his sight, placing the ship, her cargo and passen-

be regarded ne incompetent and unworthy bis trust
But the pilot who, unding her in that condition

OF night thickeping upon her hopeless crew brings
her out IN safety from the breakers, and sends her
forward once more, secure and buoyent. 10 pursue
her voyage has proved himself master of his pro.
iessiOn, and deserves the gratitude and admiration
Of all ON board. So il IL with Millnrd Fillmore
lie found tho country ready 70 fall to pieces upon
those sectional questions into which she bad been
precpHated by tie Democratic policy of territorial
aggrandizement. The political horizon was be-
coming darker and darker, aud there seemed
scarce star Of hope in the sky. But scarcely had
Mr.. Fillmore taken the helm Of State before the
confidence OF the nation revived. There was
an evident honesty, patriotism, singonesss Of

gave assurance that he was equal 20 the ext
gescy oi the hOur. nor was the country disap-
pointed. series Of measures soon passed
and received his official sanction which gave pesce
to the distracted Union, aud received by All
sections ne an honorable adjustment Of oil ques-
tons in dispute. And il deserves TO be remarked
that the only points Of Mr.. Fillmore's Administrs-
tion which have excited any thing like bitter crit
icism, even from bic political opponents have been
those which proceeded from veneraton OF national
good faith; which have sought TO make the United
Sates respect the rights Of other nations as he had
made tho North respect the righls of the South;
and which, by avoiding the acquisition Of nov ter
riiory, tended TO save the country from pers idon
teal with those from which she had Just been es-
tricatcd Whatever views the garty organs Of the
