pctsntisEy. whose very nams Is the best guarantee
OF the sncerity and mob leneA Of that desire. Tho
welcome might abo be significant which the PreG-
dent Of Gu.temals, the valiant and popular General
Costa Riss, on his travel through the republic Is
the position given In Buenos Ayres to the CONNER
cial agent Of Spain less favorable?
An enlightened policy, such as circumstances re-
quire the true representation of the Spanish charac
ter, which i'll accords with petty discussions Of de-
tails and necessary formulas when they treat of real
izing views of high importance, should open the wav
to the complete end OF the recognition Of the natisn.
atty of these people, who, if they have not worked
for it yet with the c0nstancy and resolution which
might have led to immediate results have not for
that failed to show themselves anxious to obtain it
in the midst Of the sad position in which they have
been placed by repeated external conflicts and an
almost continual internal agitation. So that il de-
cided to operate no obstacle, no serious nconveni-
ence, will be offered to onr government to see itself
soon united in the most intimate relations with all
the sister nations who people America from Mexico
to Chill, whose good understanding should serve as
protecting shield to all the members Of the race
which is regarded with such naughty disdain by
North America, and in whose bosom alienation has
been, perhaps, already allowed to be introduced
through an unjustifable abandonment.
Need we be more explicit? If 30 we would believe

that they have ears and hear not that they have eyes

New York, August Q, 1853.
[From the LAmington Spa. Courier
We readily give insertion to the foregoing contra
dction and express our sincere regret that local
correspondent, from whom the article complained
of was received, should have been unintentionally
mised upon the point; and also that should have
given circulation to charge for which there Is owl
IDENTIFY no foundation against the writer of the pre-
cedng letter. Of the high standing OF Governor
johnson and his family we have now before us the
most satisfactory evidence e. lie has been upwards
the convention that formed the Constitution Of
Louisiana; was several years q judge under that
form Of government; and has six times been elected
to Congress- During all that period he has sustained
the highest character as an honorable man; and we
cheerully afford him the publicity of our columns to
refute charge so serious, and SO manifestly un-
founded, as that to which we publish the above un
qualified contradiction.

from the London Times Sept. 8
The Cutters Feast at Sheffield is one of those
happy festivals that used to be observed by every
craft every guild every college in this island and
the desuetude OF which marks the GOODNESS Of these
latter times. They are occasions when something q
nobler spirit can be given to employments which
otherwise too easily sink to souless drugery or sof
did calculation. Certainly q company of men ought
to recognize something great in their destiny whea
they find themselves placed, as it were, to supply
the whole world with some article necessary to life
or enjoyment. Sheffield enjoys preeminenoe over
all other seats Of the vulcanian art, and well mayt
material interests Of humanity. The settler who
cleaves the Lakewood with his axe, and then turns
up the virgin soil with the spade, the pick and the
plough; the soldier who protects the acquisitions Of
peace the carpenter who converts the giants Of the
forest into habitatons for men,-these and many
others depend the craft for which Sheffield was fa
nous centuriesago. The gardeners pruning knife the
reaper's sickle, the mowers sytae the penknife of
the scholar and the small armory of the seamstress,
all come from the same multifarious forge. Sheffield
arms all the world for peace for war; and has an
interest in both though happily more in the former
than the latter vocation SO allied to the fortunes
OF the great spreading family of man, and 80 ne
cessary to the fuflment OF the mandate to 81 re-
plenish the earth, must have something interesting
in it even to the most rugged natures The records Of
such trade must tell how it increased and improved
its productions after the invention of art. the

continent, or Che conquest of realm On Thursday
the master cutler and his fellows met in ancient
state, and reviewed their achievements and their
nd IA in tf,o
way OF business, comprehended events of such mag
nitude as the discovery of the Californian and
Australian gold fields, the emancipation of trade,
the opening Ct China, and the peace OF Europe.
These events were felt in an universal increase Of
manufactures, and in an amount of prosperity 60
great as to try the prudence Of both master and
man. the former too ready to speculate in advance Of
his means, the latter too prone to spend his nard
earnings in animal qualifications. Hence the topics
of the day, and others of higher character
tbankfuness for such unexampled prosperity, and
determination to preserve the harmony of classes
and the peace of the earth.
The people of Sheffield must be very prudent If
they are not quite intoxicated with q gush Of
prosperity, which, in the words of Mr. Denison, has
rendered the West Riding one of the happiest fami
lies in the world. America 10 quote his words, is
swallowing up our exports as fast as We can send
them. Two vast regions-the at the Antipodes,
and the other on the coast of the Pa ,c-haye TO be
literally dug up, scarifed, and rven down to their
lowest accessible strata, by point and edge Of
iron for flakes Of gold. Three hundred millions
of ingenious men are about to be added to our
customers ready to exchange their rude imple-
ments, in great part of wood, or wood tipped
with thin plates Of iron, for the more solid and
bettertempered produce of our own ren districts.
Already the exports Of hardware and cutlery for
the first six months of this year have been onethird
more than in the corresponding period of last
year. Meanwhile a wise legislature is removing
every needless burden restriction on trade, and
this very session has been remarkable for the amount
Of such bOons There remains o more agreeable

the cost OF others, or without other, sharing it.
Now, for considerable time the agricuturists after
brief interval Of difficulty, have been as prosper

at this moment only depend on the favor of heaven
to get in fair harvest at more tnan fair prices. No
wonder that almost SUPP rstous dread of reverse
has invaded many minds Perhaps it ought to do
so But every man and every trade may ward off
that reverse, or mitigate is evils, by timely precau.
