that will support him heartily, if necessary, to
give them chance in defeating the Democ-
racy; while they also hope for the favor (for
him) of all Of those who have gone into the
late movement for Republicanism in g black
domino, Except the ultra Abolitionists of the
new party,) which will soon be found to be
stock that cannot possibly pay. Ex-Governor
Hunt, though man Of very moderate preten-
sions, has very few assailable points indeed,
as public man, and will be likely to make
as good a run as any opposition candidate to
be named.
The Tribune on the st. Nicholss.-The New
York Tribune makes the recent stabbins af
fray in the bar-room of the ST. Nicholas, lin
which a man named Dean cut another named
Wright very dangerously, the latter being in
the act of horsewhipping him. the occasion
for an elaborate attack on the hotel in ques
ton, deservedly one Of the most famous in the
country, wherein it INDUCES in much clap-trap

house for the benefit Of some favorite rival
All this sort of thing is grossly improper on
the part of public journal, and brings forci-

ing and blOodshed comes with illlgraee indeed,
from the pseudo philosophers and ''better thar
christians" of that journal, which, for the
last two years, has been sedulously appealing
to the worst passions of the most brutal por-
tions of the North to resist, by force of arms,
laws of the United States which do not hap
pen to please MesSieurs, the Editors of the Tn
bune, and also to turn Kansas regularly into
the seat Of Il civil war. Every man wLo has
killed a person in the execution Of the fugitive
slave law has found ready defender and jus.
tifer in the Tribune !; while every man who
has invaded his neighbors' rights, in the nOmi-
nal execution Of the Maine law, has also been
backed up (even to the justification of Neal
DOw's murders in the Portland riots) by the
Journal aforesaid. Its tune is reversed on this
occasion; as the row happened to occur be-
tween two gentlemen who were drinking at
the bar Of hotel against which some one of
the TribAne's writers evidently has grudge
Really, the three great nuisancss of New
York are rum, emigrant runners, and the Tn

most mischief to society there.
The Voyage and Mission Of the United
States ship Supply.-We have been favored
with the following interesting letter from
friend recently in Tunis
TUNIs, Aug. IS, 1855.
The United States store ship Supply, Lieut..
ID. ID. Porter, commanding, reached here on
the 4th. inst, on her way to the Levant in
search of camels. Major Wayne, the chief of
the expedition on which the Supply was sent
out, was presented to the Bey, with several
of the officers. The Major, in behalf of the
United States Government, offered congratula-
tions to the Bey on his accession to the throne,
expressing the desire of the United States for
more extended intercourse and closer CONNER
cal relations between the two countries, and
for long, happy, and prosperous reign for his
Highness. The Bey reciprocated these friendly
sentiments.
His Highness, hearing of the Majors desire
to purchase, on Government account, a camel
in Tunis, sent him two Of the finest among all
he possessed, which were accepted with proper
Y.
L have seen both the camels, the larger being
the finest ever saw, and the other, q younger
one, bidding fair to equal his companion in
time.
The Fey is highly interested in the i'm
prOvement Of mas people in agriculture, and
shows a great desire 10 acguaint himself
thoroughly with its progress in the United
States, which does his true benevolence and
enlightenment great credit, indeed
The Supply left here on the 10th instant,
taking as passengers to Malta the widow and
daughter Of Sir Edward S. Baynes, late Eng
liSh Consul-6eneral at this capital. This was
Il handsome act Of international courtesy, these
ladies being left alone here at n time of gen,
eral sickness, and in great distress by the be-
reavement mentioned above. There were no
other convenient means through which they
might reach Malta, which Is Sut very little out
Of the route of the vessel to the Levant. A
brother Of the late Consul-G eneral holds high
command at Malta.
The Supply took on board q beautiful block
Of marble from the ruins Of Carthage, for the
Washington Monument, presented by DR.. Da-

block is Of yahgated-red and white-mar-

the attributed temple of Esculapius, and

ton of the arms Of Carthage, in Mosaic in

words I" Carthage" and the legend-Prescnt-
