genius and enterprise IN the middle would also
sometimes break their letters and climb to the high
est position in the State But ignorance and conses
quent suffering and social mferoity were the here
ditary doom of the masses; varied and vast re-
sources, needing the eye of intelligence to detect
them, were neglected and unknown, and every Au-
tumn witnessed fight of carts and wagons trans
porting our laboring masses to more hopeful regions
And now when we begin to have knowledge of the
existence of resources it seems that we have to
borrow the skill necessary to develope them-to get
engineers teachers, skilfu machinists, &C., &c.
from other States.
In Short till very recent period general education

lima so much so that one of the Historians of the
State records the incorporation of Academy as an
important incident in our Legislative experience.
And Notwithstanding the efforts of religious so
cietes this backward state of things remained until
very recent period; and then, as 1 shall show in
my next letter to your Excellency, general and
powerful movement began producing in a few years
results without parallel in any country.
Of this movement do not propose now to speak
at all and will conclude this letter by assuring you
that it gives pleasure to allude to the former
present ignorance of our State. But am'speak-

LIEUT.. MAURY's SCIENTIFIC MISSION. Lieut. Maury
sailed from New York Saturday last in the Pacific
for Europe, to attend the Scientific Convention be
held at Brussels in August. This convention meets
under the auspices of the naval powers of Europe,
and its object has reference to branch of science in
which Lieut.. Maury has acquired worldwide fame.
1t is proposed to adopt uniform plan of obser
vatons connected with his wind and current charts
and it eminently fit that he should be honored
as he has been, by a national commission to such
convention, He has thus far devoted his superior
intellect to scientific researches and the results have
given renown to his name, whilst they have contrib
ut incalculable benefits to commerce. We antici
pate important consequences from his present mis-
sion IN the further improvement In the science of
navigation which we expect to follow the delibera-
tons of the convention at Brussels Rich. Eng.

Consul AT VENICE. In the appointment of TX
Marvel to the Venitian consulshp the administration
has hit it to a hair Tx Marvel has the nature and
the bearing of gentleman; and he excels in those
accomplishments and knowledges' which render
man welcome in cultivated society And besides this
he is engaged in studying the history of the Ventan
republic, with view to the production of hstori
cal work. His residence amidst the scenes which he
will have to describe will, of course, be immense
advantage to him. while his official character will be
likely to give him to ancient records and State
documents of great importance The result will
probably be the production of history of Venice
that will enrich the literature of the country We
only sorry that the Office is not one of emolu-
ment But man whose works Ego OFF, at the rate
of twenty thousand volumes year can perhaps man

Mr.. HOLDEN: am Democrat and I feel for its
cause. Upon Democratic principles this country has
arrived to its present greatness and in future is de-
pendent for prosperity upon the prevalence of Demo-
cratic principles-without the prevalence of which
we, as nation, doomed to follow European gov
ernments.
Sir, in our present difficulty as regards candidates
for Congress, am fully satisfied what is the
safest to pursue to rid ourselves from the difficulty
that is for the Democratic party to rally to man
for Mr. Lewis. For, if you elect Mr.. Venable the
Democratic party will elect 6lotch itself that
quarter of century would not bleach out and will
throw burden on all candidates hereafter to
wit: " You have adopted Wing measures-you elect
ed Mr.. Venable, knowing at the time that he had
adopted Wing measures &c. Not only this, but
the craft of the Wings is to advocate Venabe in Or
der to divide the Democratic party as much as pos
sble, while the Wings intend giving Rogers their
full strength This is plain and easy to under
stand as and make 5. Then, brother Democrats,
the only alternative left you to success is to
rally and unite at once upon Mr.. Lewisl Elect him
and you bear VIGOROUSLY your PLATFORM and that
will be of great advantage to you for years to come.
Then, brother Democrats rally, rally to Mr.. Lewis
in your great strength, and shake off your difficult
ties like Sampson and carry off VIGOROUSLY both
