To explain the above letter it is necessary
that we should reprint the paragraph from the
Republic Of the 9Th instant:
Ma. ChssLL's LrTTsp.-Tbo Albany Register
makes known that several errors were detected in
Mr. ChBxtL's letter, ss published in that pa per- and
copied in the Republic on Saturday morning. In
the following sentence the word ".Soufhtrn" was
printed instead Of NwUern-which materially
changed its import and significance, though on
obvious error. A. IL nov stands IL is correct:
"A few Northern Wing politicians looking on y
to erpcdiency or availability, il may be to t~ne.

In this connexion, and for the purpose of

from the Hartford Comm Courant

During the late session of the Legislature O
Texas some Senator submitted series of reso
lutions affirming the expediency of repeating
all laws for the collection of debts and The
Senate referred the matter to the Judiciary
Committee, with instructions to investigate and
report. The Galveston We,os of the 3Oth ult
prints the result of the committees inquiries
In the form of report, prepared with an evident
determination to prove that though Governor
BELL strangely COMPOUNDED Shakespeare with
Scripture, there are men in Texas who know the
distinction that exists between men. The com
mttee hide their hostility to the proposal under a
thin disguise Of high flown rhetoric-kiling by
Inuendo rather than by. argument. They refer
to the case of the dealing of the Israelites with
the Egyptians, and still later to the practice of
Sparta, as presidents that may aid the Legis
lature In any future action on the subject Al
together, the report indicates that the Judicia
ry Committee share the irreverence of. Cover
nor BELL, though not chargeable with his ig-
norance Of biblical literature. Their wit is
wicked
The Galveston .News is by no means dis
posed, however, to allow the Senatorial mea-
sure TO be baniered to death, but takes it up
kindly, and soberly argues that in the present
position of the State such an enactment could do
no harm, while it might produce an immensely Of
good. Now a-days, with all the forms Of law on
their side-the .Nsscs declares discov-
er the process Of recovering debts to be losing
affair and therefore--ft arvueS-no extr, h,v,r
could come from change which would leave all
credit transactions to be arranged on the basis
of personal confidence
BY and bye, then, Texas may be expected to
become a perfect paradise for debtors

same year on the sons of member of Con.
gress.
Meanwhile Senator STOCKTON was urging
the appointment Of young BAYARD. There
was no other applicant from the State, except
young man who was recommended simply by
his own father, Of whose character and claims
the Department was entirely ignorant Under
these circumstances, and in the absence of other
applications, the PRESIDENT thought the re-
commentator of Senator STOCKTON ought to
be complied with, and made the appointment
without any inquiry beyond the merits and
worth OF the young man. We dare say that
ne omitted to ask who the lads father was,
these Presidential cadetshps as political APP
pointments. They are usually conferred,
as We have stated. in the army and ma
Wy and perhaps Commodore SrocKToN's
military and naval services might have lent
force to his recommendation, without Civ
ing just cause of complaint. Besides, saving
only the name of the thing, we are not sure
that the honorable Senator is as much opposed
to the Administration as some who pretend to
be its friends. He agrees with the PRESIDENT
in his view of the Compromise measures,
and the Tariff question, and pretty much
every thing, we apprehend, likely to be
of any very immediate interest; and TO treat
such man as an enemy. would be as absurd
as to regard a writer like this Of the Atlas az
friend. MIR. STocKToN's ''political character"
in our humble judgment, was not quite so bad as
it might have been. He calls himself a De-
MocRAT-he might have been a trading Ab6-
litionisl. He calls himself an opponent Of the
Administrations the guise Of friendship, he
might have been an insidious, crafty, and ma
lignant enemy. He deals his blows in the
daylight-he might have stabbed in the dark.
When he arraigns the PRESIDENT, he does it,
we doubt not, on good grounds, and with careful
regard to facts; he might have been capable of
vouching for the '.undoubted" accuracy of en-
tire fabrications, or claim that information
grossly false sis as authentic as Is possible
to be-"
We have devoted more space to this subject
than 1t deserves, but we thought that 80 gross
misstatement, paraded over the initials Of
responsible editor of Wing journal, ought not
to pass uncontradcted. If we have not noticed
similar attacks from other quarters, it is because
we have not always found it easy to determine
when the assertion of an anonymous or pseu-
donymous writer carried weight enough with it
to make contradiction necessary.

on the principles Of the Freesol party Hence
we are hardly disposed to submit to any thing
like dictation which cones from hat quarter
"Dlr. Cabell il in favor Of Mr.. FILLMoRE as the
Whig nominee. He says, moreover that the whole
South Will support bin, for that they feel that the
luminosity against him in New York, and other
Tree States, arises from the fact that he did not veto
the Compromise bills. All this il very well, and
meets with response from Northern Whigs But
when Mr.. Cabell goes on to say that the South will
not unite on any man that is nominated b,cause he
can secure abolition votes in free States, he goes
much further than true national policy would die
tate. We are free to say that any nominee of the
National Convention will be supported in Connec-
ticut, and Mr.. Fillmore with quito as much cheer
fuiness as any other man. We respect the talents,
conduct, and character Of the man We admire
his administrative capabilities, and accord to him
the praise OF being one of the best Presidents the
United States has ever seen. We should cordially
rejoice in his nomination and in his success. But
we stand equally disposed to favor the claims and
support the Of either of his competitors,
should they be selected We go for the broad, MA
TioNAL platform Of the party, that "knows no North
nor South" We expect our brethren elsewhere to
embrace the same extended principles.
"As to the Compromise meas,ues. they are now the
law OF the land No one wishes TO unsettle them
or bring them again into controversy To form a
party retrospectivcly, on the finally Of measures
that have been finally settled, Is faulty. Let he

ture should be the ralIying ground of the Pres

our policy which have been already settled; who
will best administer the Government with refer
to the future, and not the mast: tho nr;nc;pea
and measures of whose administration will regard
the rising greatness of this powerful nation, the
preservation of the Union. and the progress of.
America in all that constitutes true glory. To
such . man, whatever his name may be, whatever
may have been his forgotten sentiments. to what
ever section he may belong, the Wings of Connec-
ticot are ready to give their sufIrages, and they
call upon all the lovers Of their countrys progress
and ofthe greatness and fame which destiny has in
store for u.s. to unite with them in the same deter
mination to support national principles"

government shall be preserved, or anarchy and
confusion ensue. can most religiously aver
have no wish that is incompatible with the dig
nifty happiness, and true interest OF the people OF

has been, far as depended upon the Executive
Department, to comply strictly with all our en-

e United States free from political connexions with
every other country, to see them independent
OF all and under the influence Of none. In word
: want an american character, that the powers OF
Europe may be convinced we act for oursslues,
and not for others. This, in my judgment, is the
only way to be respected abroad and happy at
home; and not, by becoming the partisans OF Great
Britain or France, create dssensions, disturb the
public tranquility, and destroy, perhaps forever,
the cement which, binds the Union.'
