THE CHINESE DR.. Newman, distinguished Ger
man scholar, sends communication to the London
Times in reference to some highly interesting Chinese
and statistical tracts of the Chinese dynasty,
which he says will be translated possible.
There can be no longer any doubt, he says, about
tainy Protestant Christianity, mixed yet as it could
not be otherwise at the beginning, with some
heahtehish customs and prejudices. He adds that
from apriYate letter he has received from awel In
formed source it appears that the rebels patriots
have issued proclamation that they will not take
Canton until next September.

GENERAL CAss' RESOLUTIONS DECLARING
The MONROE Policy, &c.-The following
are the Resolutions offered recently in The
Senate BY, Gen. Cass, approving the Monroe
policy respecting European colonization in
North America, and defining the position o.
our government with respect to Cuba.
BE it RESOLVED, That the United States do
hereby declar that the American continents
by the free, independent condition which thew
have assumed and maintain, are henceforth
not to be considered subjects for future colo.
n'Zation by any European power, and while
exstIng rights should be respected" and will
be by the United States, they owe it to their
own safety aud interest" to "announce, as
they now DO, that no future colony or domi.
mon shasi, with their consent, be planted or
established on any part of the American con-
linent." And should the attempt be made
they thus deliberately declare that it will be
viewed IS an act originating III motives re-
CARELESS OF their interests and Their safety.''
and which will leave them free to adopt such
measures as an independent nation NAV
Justly adopt in defence of it's rights and its
homo.
And be IL further Resolved, That while the
United States disclaim any designs upon the
Island OF Cuba inconsistent with the laws of
nations and with their duties to Spain, they
consider it due to the vast Importance of the
subject to make known in this solemn man
ner, that they should view all efforts on m a
part oil any other power to procure possessio
either Peaceably or forcibly, of that island.
which as naval or military position must
under circumstances easy to be foreseen, be.
come dangerous to their southern coast, TO the
Cult OF Mexico and to the mouth of the Mis-
sissipP, as unfriendly acts directed against
them, to be resisted by all means in their
power.

Petit Elected.

~ In consequence OF having no Geographic
communication with the North or East fol
several days, the mournful Intelligence OF
John Pettit's election to a seat in the U. s.
Senate did notreach US until yesterday morn.
ing. This 10 a result We presume, not wholly
unexpected to the leaders of the "unterrified
Democracy of Indiana, but one which will
be regarded by the honest masses Of that
party, as a selection equally unsuitable as
John Petit himself'is for any high political
position. If we apply the just and truthful
old maxium that 'you Judge men by their acts
and associations" no great compliment is due
The good sense or deliberative judgement OF
the present Legislature for selecting John
Petit, instead of some capable, honest and
respectable man. -
His appearance in the last presidential
election, in stumping the State as an elector
at large, was such as to disgust every honest
well-meaning politician, and the appropriate
sSabriquet" of BLACKBOARD qniyered on every
Epalter listening to the filthy illusions from
this great political rowdy. He was denomi--
mated the ''Old brass piece of the ordinance
: employed by Locofocoism in the political
warfare of '52, and no man was ever more
eminently successful insmaking himself the
nnouthPiece of low, degrading vulgar slang
than was this same Sentaor elect.
This samevile course characterized his
speaking throughout the State, excepting
some few instances, where he was refused to
be heard at all. If no more lofty sentiments
of selt-respect and common decency or hu-
manity, are to follow him to Washington,
that such as have been displayed by him in his
political course in Indiana. or in some of his
domestic relations on the Ohio river, (Which
We forbear to mention) we shall be prepared
to see his seat worse disgraced than it must
necessarily be by his most circumspect con-
duct, and the blush of shame hurled back
upon the Legislature which elected him.
