HENRY S. WAsHBuRN, ESQ, the nominee
of the late Wing Convention, for Represent
alive to Congress, in opposition to Col. De-
Witt, has written to the Secretary of the Con-
vention, the following manly and digni6ed
reply to the notice of his nomination. We
hoped, and it may not be speaking too strong
ly, perhaps, to say, we expected this course,
from our knowledge of his liberal feelings and
general just views. The time may, perhaps,
come, when such men as Mr.. Washburn and
those who sympathize with him in opinion
and feeling, will find, that the readiest way
to promote the cause of Freedom, is not, to
remain in an organization, which is complete
ly under the control of pro-slayery leaders,
But we shall see. The letter is as follows:
WORCESTER, Oct. 9th, 1854.
Dear Sir 81 hasten to acknowledge the re-
eeipt of your note of last evening, informing
me that at meeting of Delegates of the Ninth
Congressional District, held III this city yes
terday, was nominated candidate for Con-
gress, to be supported by the Wings of said
| District, at the next election.
| While / cannot be insensible to the honor
| thus unexpectedly conferred upon me, must
| respectfully decline the nomination.
| Apart from other and weighty eonsidera-
tons, which would lead me unhesitatingly to
this conclusion. am clear in the conviction
that it is not advisable for the Wings, as a
party, to make nomination in opposition TO
COL Dewitt. The manly stand taken by him
and his associates, of the Massachusetts, dele
CATION, who stood shoulder to shoulder through
all the stages of that important crisis, upon
the extension of slavery into the territories of
Kanzas and Nebraska SO fully meets my ap-
proval. that it will give me sincere pleasure to
know that they are, one and all, triumphant
" returned to their seats in the next Congress.
This much Massachusetts owes to herself,
and to the cause of Freedom in the Republic.
remain, very truly,
/ your obedient servant,

FINANCIAL. New York Evening Post
of Saturday says: ''nearly every railroad COM

dends, needing the receipts of the road for

improvements entered upon before the change
i'll the money market was evident, and for
which they cannot now borrow money. AT
the same time,th best companies are refran-

from the recurrence of the necessity of post
poning the payments of such dividends as
have been earned. The week closes upon
frightened money market, and were it not for
the contracted amount of obligations. would
be more seriously felt than it is. The loss of
specie by the banks is compelling them to re-
strict their accommodations; and as the export of
gold will continue probably, till the middle of
October, cotton shipments, from present indi-
cations, will be less than usual early in the
senSOu.

From cloud-capt hills and 7erdant plains,
Shall shouts of triumph rise.
Upon her dark, despairng brow,
Shall play smile of peace,
For God shall bend unto her wo,
And bid her
Meath shetering vines and stately palms
Shall laughing children play,
And aged sires with joyous psalms,
Shall gladden. every day.
Secure by night, and best by day,
Shall pass her happy hours;
Nor human tigers hunt for prey
Within her peaceful bowers.
Then Ethiopia! stretch, oh! stretch
Thy bleeding hands abroad
Thy cry of agony shall reach
And find redress from God.

MATAMoRAs Mex, SEPT. 1.-THE revolu-
ton in this part of Mexico has at last turned
out to be a failure. The success with which
it commenced, and which encouraged the
friends of Congress to hope for complete
change of Government, was followed by re
verses, which have finally ended in almost
total dispersion of the revolutonists, and riv-
tied more firml-, if possible, the chains Of the
Dictator on this unfortunate people. Several
causes have combined to bring about this re-
suit, want of money, arms, and proper lead
ers, being amongst the number, but probably
the principal one is found in the energy and
enterprise of his Serene Highness, Santa An
na.-At the first note of alarm which reached
Mexico from the frontier, all the available
troops within striking distance were put in
motion, and formidable number were soon
arrayed against the badly armed rancheros of
the Rio Grande.
The attempt of the revolutionists on Mon
terry has failed, the inhabitants of that city re-
fusing to join them.

and he went as he had come, without any
particular demonstration on the part of the
crowd. An Englshman who recognized the
Emperor raised his hat as he passed, but the
Emperor, addressing him in an under tone of
voice, begged that he would not pay him that
mark of respect, as it might lead to his being
followed by a crowd.
