hines planters, farmers. graziers. mountaineers,
manufacturers, and merchants. Ii numbers per
haps one hundred thousand persons; yet neither
strong drink nor bribery have dared TO make
nomination in the circuit. We will add mother
fact. Ifthsjudicial appointment were to be made
by the Legislature on the Executive, the people
could not have the benefit of selection amongst
all these candidates; for Wing Legislature
would set aside Messrs. WHITrLE and Tired
WAY, whilst Democratic. Legislature would
exclude Messrs. GILMER, GoGGIN, and WING
FIELD. 1t may be said that this is the beginning
OF the system. 1t may be, but thus far it has
commenced with an efficiency superior to that
which the superseded system had attained in
centuries. We consi.er that, like all the other
American innovations, such as of abolishing a
standing army, an established religion, with all
the abracadabra of checks, balances, and or
ders, the elective judiciary is destined to be
opposed, doubted. and universally adopted by
all people who have the privilege of choice.
We shall at all events insist upon fair trial
of the experiment before its condemnation shall
be made absolute.

Mr.. Eyerett,s Eloauence.

The speech of Edward Everett at the late Ply
mouth celebration has furnished the New York
Journal Of Commerce with an occasion for the fol-
lowing glowing compliment to that gentleman s
oratory:
The speeches of Hon. Edward Everett and Hon.
Richard Yeadon, delivered at the Plymouth cell
ebration on the first instant, are both able and
eloquent productions, worthy alike of the men
who delivered them and the occasion that called
them forth. They speak for themselves, and need
no comment from u.s. A word, however, on Mr..
Everett's style of oratory. Cicero tells us that
almost all other arts exist independently of one
another, excepting that of eloquence, which is the
art of speaking sensibly skilfully, and beautifully.
This has no determined limits within which it can
be bounded. An orator must be eloquent upon
every theme that can be the subject of disq,Iisi-
ton. II ne cannot make it appear that he is ca
pable OF this, he must bid adeu to the profession
of eloquence. Few men of the present day ap-
proach nearer to Cicero's ideal of true orator
than Mr.. Everett. His mind is not limited to any
single sphere of action 1t matters not what be
the nature Of the subject of which he treats, his
productions are always sure to strike us as those
of highly cultivated and erudite intellect He
is equally ready for the excitements of popular
assembly, or for the woightier deliberations of
tional dcbatc--equaly eloquent i'll tho festive hall
the Senate chamber, or the lecture room; and then
there is polished dignity, and a flowing, CLASH
cal precision to his speech, which arc but rarely
met with in public speakers of the present 'day
In his style there is nothing of the charatan and
the mountaineering of the subtle trickster,
playing off his spasms and Mysteries for 'thunders
of applause But, on the contrary, all his ora
tons and speeches bear unmistakable marks of
a most refined and highly cultivated taste, and
they also indicate tho greatest in compositions
especially In their language and the formation of
their sentences, His words glitter like polished
lanccs through sunny forests and carry convc-
ton to the hearts of all who hear them. His sem
fences blaze with the splendors of gorgeous rhct
ORIG, and echo as with the melody Of some ancient
minister. With rich, melodious voice, and great
beauty and harmony of diction, his speech occa-
sionally blossoms forth into fine lyric enthusi-
asm, and anon gushes over into deep and beau
tiful pathos which carries the listener along in
whirl Of agitation and delight

BRITIsH CONSULATE GENERAL,
HAVANA. Doth Julv. 1859.

BRITISH CONSULATE GENERAL,
HAVANA, 29th July, 1853.
Sir: transmit to you herewith, for your pc
rusal-requesting that they may be returned to me
afterwards-co of the papers which it appears
were issued from the Mexican Consulate of this
place, for ship to be put under that flag on the
18th May last.
The ship referred to was SLAYER, and was for
merly the American vessel, the Lady Suffolk,
whose history need not go into, because it is
already known in your consulate; but | may add
to your information respecting said ship that after
she had ceased to carry the American flag she
went to Africa, and from thence brought cargo
of negro slaves, which were landed at place to
the westward of Cienfuegos, on the south side of
the island, in that jurisdiction, by and with the
connivance of the Spanish authorities, as there is
reason to believe. AS the ship referred to (for-
merly the Lady Suffolk) had papers under
which to navigate, it seems that a scheme was got
up to obtain for her the Mexican flag; and you will
see, by the documents which am now enabled to
lay before you, that it is stated therein that they
were issued upon the certificates and papers
which we inferred as having been presented at
the Mexican Consulate, on the 18th day of May
last, viz: an official letter addressed by the United
States Consul to the Consul of Mexico, who sub
scribed the sea-letters of the ship referred to,
questng that bill of sale might be extended fol
said vessel and also that Mr.. Smith, the attor-
ney of Mr. Henry West, of Boston, owner Of the
American ship Mary, then, on the 18th day Of
May last, said to be lying in the harbor of Glen
fuegos, of the burden of four hundred and ter
tons, &C.. was completely authorized to sell the
said ship Mary to Don Juan Gutierrez, who be-
came the purchaser.
Now, as have some reason to think there has
been great fraud in the whole matter, and as
there can be but little doubt that the papers which
were so obtained at the Mexican Consulate in this
city were to cover, if possible, ship which had
Just before that date engaged in the slave trade,
no such ship as the American ship Mary, Will
liam Smith, master, having been then or at any
time in the harbor of Cienfuegos; and that the
ship which carried the Mexican papers so fraudu-
lently obtained was in reality the SLAYER, former

name of Mariana, arrived at Laguna dc Formi-
nos about the Goth of May last, where she has
been detained by the Mexican authorities have
to request that you will do me the favor ofinfonn-
lag me officially whether there is any record in
the United States Consulate, now under your
charge, fthe transactions stated upon the papers
issued to the Mariana, as having originated by the
authority of the then Consul, Sharkey; whether
there is any knowledge ON record of the ship Ma
ry, William Smith, master, having been about the
18th May last at Cienfuegos; and that said mas
