occupied the attention of Congress to the
exclusion of almost every thing else.
There has been some sharp shooting in
both houses, much to the neglect Of i'm

closely questioned by MeMullen,, of Va,
in relation to negroes voting in his district,
stated that the only instance of tie kind he
knew was a mulatto named Anderson, who
voted for his opponent, claimed to be three
quarters white, and son Of Gov Shan

for him to decide whether the Shannon'
were white men or not.

Letter from John w. Bryce. ESQ,

The following patriotic letter from John W.
Bryce, Esq, gentleman known to many of our
readers, is deserving Of general perusal. 1t was
first published in the Richmond Whig:
RICHMOND, Aug 5, 1856.
TO the Editor of the Wing:
Will you permit me to reply through your col
umns to the question which is frequently asked
me, whether intend to support Mr.. Fillmore
for the Presdency?"
/ answer decidedly in the affirmative In the
first place, it shall not be said of me that, from
mere dissatisfaction with leader, l deserted my
flag in the field when the tide of battle pressed
strongest against it. In the next, am pleased to
say, that Mr.. Filmore's letter of acceptance, and
his noble and manly course since his return TO the
United States have obvated my objections to him
as candidate.
Aside from party considerations, it appears to
me, that q choice between the candidates now be-
fore the people, cannot be matter OF doubt with
patriotic and Unon-loving citizens. OF Fremont,
mere puppet in the hands of foul traitors and
arch-demagogues, it is useless in this latitude or
among the true friends Of the Union anywhere, to
say one word.
How respe ctable soever the antecedents of Mr..
Buchanan may be, il is enough that he has sur
rendered his personal independence to the require
ments Of platform odious in some of its features
to every just idea of American Rspublicanism,
and so doubtful in its meaning on vital points
to admit of the most opposite construction in diff
ferent sections Of the Union-a platform so dex-
terously constructed that it will hold, with equal
convenience the Southern States rights Demo-
crat, John Van Buren, who has nothing to take
back of his Abolition speeches and writings in
ls4s, and Martin Van Buren, whose antagonism
to Southern rights is too notorious for COMMENT
Even were Mr. Buchanans personal record on the
subject Of "Squatter Sovereignty" free from OBJ
lection, the position in which he has thus placed
himself procaims him mere party leader, unfit
to be the President Of the nation in the present
emergency.
On the contrary in Mr.. Fillmore every unpre-
JUDGED mind must recognise af.tatesman " without
fear and without reproacb, who, while he accepts
and endorses the cardinal principles of the party
which nominated him, yet retains his personal in
dependence, and dares to think and speak for
himself with freedom and manliness which has
compelled the admiration even of the most un-
compromising opponents.
Between these gentlemen, the choice with mel
not for moment doubtful, and honestly oeheve,
with Mr.. Granger, of New York, that II every man
in the United States who prefers Mllard Fillmore
for President should vote for him, his election
vould be certain Why should they not do SOY
am aware that most Jesuitical argument has
been employed in the South, and so far with not
Httle seeming success; in fact, the Democratic
newspapers and stump orstors appear to regard II

NATIONAL MosUAKsr GRoUNDs.-The old shan
ties which formerly disfgured these grounds, and
which, for want OF better, were the recipients OF
the beautiful blocks sent from all parts of the
world IN commemoration of the memory OF Wash
ington, and TO which they afforded an imperfect
and uncertain protection, have disappeared. In
Their stead building has arisen, as il by magic,
one hundred feet in length and fourteen in breadth
into which these testimonials OF nations graft
tude, and worlds respect, are being placed and
arranged on each side, fronting inward, so that
the beholder, as he passes through tho building,
has spread out before him, like an open book,
these beautiful specimens of art, on which are
chiseled, in infinite variety, notices and designs
expressive OF the feelings which prompted the
givers, and which are alike honorable to ALMA
tons, States, societies, and individuals.
There was great necessity for this building. The
blocks prepared at SO great cost OF time, labor,
ana money, and nobly given for noble purpose,
were exposed TO danger from accident and inclem-
ent weather. Their beautifully y-polshed surfaces,
elaborately carved and glded, were liable to injury
IN thousand ways A stone, thrown from the
hand OF mischievous boy might in their exposed
situation have marred their beauty, and made them
monument of reproach to the citizens of Wash
ington. From these damages they are happily re-
moved, and, until they placed in their respect
i've positions in the monument itself, they will
form In their present safe and commodious retreat
an attraction to yisters from all parts of the coun
try and the world

aged about Is years, fell overheard from canoe,
near Fowle & Co.'s wharf, Alexandra, yesterday

who was reported as having been arrested in Bal

there being no evidence against him.
