Some of our party papers having, as they thought,
made grand discovery tried to raise storm about
the cars of the late Secretary of the Treasury,
Mr. CuKwIN, for employing Mr.. SIMEON DRAPER, a
merchant of New York, to buy up Government
stocks in execution of trust con6ded to the Serc-
tary by Congress Ion, writing from this city to
the Baltimore Sun, furnishes the annexed informa-
ton on the subject:
notwithstanding the solemn warnings Of the press
against violations Of the Subheasury law, and the de-
mands Cor the impeachment of Mr.. CoRwIS on that
charge the Administration has sanctioned the con-
tracts with Simeon Draper for the purchase Of its stock

We have been shown an important letter ad-
dressed to Q. G. BAYLOR, Esq, late United States
Consul at Amsterdam, and Editor of the Cotton
Plant, by the President of powerful and wealthy
European Commercial Company. This letter is in
conclusion of a correspondence which has been GO
ing on for some time between Mr. Baylor and Euro
pean influences in regard to the Importance of a
Continental Depot for cotton. From the language
and tone of the letter before us the most favorable
disposition is manifested, and the President has
titled Mr.. Baylor that one Of the company was to
sail for America in time TO be at the Memphis
Convention. At Memphis the plan Of q tour will
be agreed upon. His tour is to enable this gen
tleman as the confidential friend and agent Of the
European Company, to inform them Of the condition
of the cottongrowers, and their disposition to par
ticipate in any general movement such is con-
temphted by direct trade. The object will also be
to give certain assurances to the planters of the de-
termination of European capital to cooperate in the
formation Of Continental Depot Of Cotton This
tour must prove interesting, not only on account of
the opportunity it will give intelligent European
society judge of Southernfr friends but also in
regard to change in the destination of that portion
of the cotton crop which pow goes circuitously to
the manufacturers Of the continent

A Wet BLANCHE the Washington Union
is not the recognised organ of the Administration,
no one doubts, presume, that it aims to conform
to the views of the President and his Cabinet, and
that it would not speak decidedly upon any impor-
ant subject without previously ascertanng that it
was all right" Its recent article about the Kos
sUTH nonsense must therefore be regarded as a wet
blanket upon the hopes Of those naturalized citizens
who lin accordance with Kossuth's advice support
ed the PIERCE Democracy, at the last election, on
the ground that il was more favorable than the
Wings to the doctrines of Kossuth. The Urton
saws that the brief Kossuth madness has long been
over" that in all the views Of practical nervea-
ton advocated by the Hungarian ''the intelli-
gence Of the country never saw any thing but abb
surdity !" that the crack Drained enthusiastic who
were carried away by him have either " come to a
soundcr way of thinking" or "now see the discre-
ton Of silence that in I" the traditions Of our
national policy the dictates Of our national interest
and the sanctty Of national faith, stands the
principle of American nonintervention in the affairs
Of Europe. "-Bu6aio Commercial Advertiser.
