by the President or any member Of his Cabi.
net. The writer Of the letter deals In Ian
guage which is insulting to the dignity of the
high Office of the President, and displays total
lack Of that courtesy which is due TO the
Chief Magistrate, and renders himself m OBJ
ject Of merited scorn, not only by the unblush-
ing effrontery of his calumnies, but a. well BY
the billingsgate he has employed in their ut.
terance. -

Baltimore Sun says: " According to a CORES
rondent of the New York Tribune; a large
number of men have been enlisted in New
Orleans for the Central American expeditions

olt armed. It is said also, that several wea,.
thy planters have subscribed a large amount
OF money to the enterprise, while others have
agreed to go down as soon as things are more
settled, and take with them their slaves.
Many who have enlisted have agreed to take
their families along. The fund guaranteed to
Kinney for the promotion of his enterprise
amounts to over FIVE millions of dollars, and
1t is alleged that the object of the whole effort
is to secure the organization Of a slave State
in Central America, to be annexed to the
Union"

really, at this time, vagrant sheet, the New
York Erening Post, which, while eternaIly
spouting crazy abolitionism in one column, il,
as pertinaciously spinning falsehoods in the
next column, to help along this alleged project
fer adding new slave holding State to the
Union.

ant Quartermaster, to be dropped from tho

legged deficit in his account, which has no.
been satisfactorily accounted for

gan rejoices over the defeat Of the coalition in
Pennsylvania as death-blow to "Republi-
canism,' on which it charges that result;
while the New York Tribune is no less de.
lighted with it, because, as it alleges it drives
the last nail 10 the coffin Of Know Nothino;s,,
which, it insists, was the real issue on Tuesday
last in the Keystone State. So they 90.
