Iaritv with our adopted citizens OF every cIlme
In its literal sense the observation Of the Herald is
PERFECTLY correct We wish to lose no just and pro-
Der opportunity to strengthen the popularity of the
Journal with oil classes Of our feIiow-ctizens, ma
tive or adopted If, however the Herald wishes to
convey the impression it evidently does, that the
Journal shapes or modfes its course upon any ques
ton or in the discussion of any subject, from the
wish to strengthen its popularity with any peculiar
portion of our citizens, it is much mistaken, as
reference to the files of paper will show, where
in we have denounced as insulting, and almost if
not altogether, taitorous all poll teal appeals to
German citizens or " Irish citizens" any 9th
er citizens save American citizens"
Mr. Belmont, the new Charge to the Netherla nds,
has been an American citizen for some seventeen
years-has an American wife and famy-being a
son-iu-Taw of Com. Perry, the commander of the
expedition to Japan-is well known at the Hague,
and speaks the Dutch language-can do more, in
fact at that Court than any other person that could
be sent.
Holland is the only Western nation that the ia
pauese admit to any intercourse-hence the desire
of the administration to obtain all the assistance
that the Dutch Government could render towards
the accomplishment of the objects of the much
talked-of expedition and hence the eminent pro-
priety of sending the individual who has been sent
who will have not only superior facilities, but extra
inducements for tho prosecution of the ends sought
since he will be paving the way for personal sue
cess to friend as we'll facilitating the progress
of an expedition in which much public interest is
felt
If not his birth place religion know not
what else be brought against Mr.. Belmont. He
has always been looked upon man of good char
acter and ability.

ers are required to have certificate from certain
inspectors, appointed in pursuance of the law one
of whom is located in Charleston The greater num-
Der of our river steamers yet without such
certificate, although, suppose, they will shortly
be provided However, this omission resulted in a
considerable disappointment last night to Trof Har
ris and other excursiOnists, who were going down
the river on the Zephyr" to set off Balloon with
wheels, and balls, and peaudcr, and gas and things
We don't think there is boat on the river, except
