MRH WITH TAILs.-Robert Walsh, Esq,
concludes one Of his recent letters from
Paris to the New York Journal of Com
msrce with the following interesting refer
encs to the present state of information up
on this subject: ~ ss
''The Count de Castelnau, one of the most
eslsbrated and active travellers and explorers
Of this uge, and personally well known and
highly esteemed in the United States, is now
engaged in inquiries in Egypt and the ada
osnt regions. You may remember that some
ssDsation was excited on both sides of the
Atlantic by an account first brought from
Abyssinia Of a eaudated race of negroes
men and women with short tails. nj. de
Csstslnau, when in Brazil, sought some tes-
timOny on the subject from the imported
slaves Of different countries and tribes Of the
East, and received information which in
clined him to the affirmative. He recently
visited the Red Sea and the adjacent terri
tories, 'mainly for the purpose of procuring
some evidence respecting the famous Mann
MANS, or negroes with caudal appendix. ~
At Suck he had heard much that favored
the story, but what he learned in his excur-
sion to the Red Sea amounted to no more
than the certainty Of an old tradition and g
general impression among the blacks Of the
interior. He is left in doubt whether the
case bs not entirely mythical or simple

the theory that monkeys are Embryonic men

For "The Times"
Oh! COULD IFIND soMEsUNNY ISLE.
RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO MISS c. NJ. r., OF Ky

DEDICATED TO MISS C. NJ. r., OF K
OH could find some sunny isle,
Where thou and alone might dwell,
Where Springs pure green might ever smile,
And wreath lis bloom around our cell.
There would weave for thee bright bowers,
And bid the vine above them rise,
And would strew the turf with fowsrsj
That open to the morning skies;
And oft-when o'er the dark blue main,
The ev'ning shadows mantled wide,
And slumbered on the dewy plain,
Or hung with mist the mountain side,
We'd wander on the sandy shore,
To view the moonbeams on The deep,
Or list the bursting pillows roar,
That round the rocks their rawlings keep;
Or list the Mermaid's pensive Tyre
Swell wildly o'er the bounding wave,
While all the sorrows of her wire
Re-eeho from her sea-girt cave;
While all around her amber throne,
The dolphins lash the sparkling spray,
As If they loved the mournful tone
That trembled through her airy lay.
And We would watch the bar6s, while sail
Hang loosely in the moonlit air,
Or borne before the sighing gale,
Glide like some phantom there.
While gaily round the barges PROV,
The pillows curled their crests Of white;
And backward gliding in their flow
Glow'd in her wake like wreaths Of light.
And oft when tempests manted far.
Deep glooming o'er the watery waste,
And o'er the seaman's guiding star
The clouds their murky veil had cast,
While far upon the pillows sweep,
The darkness gathered dreary around,
We'd light our fire upon the steep
To show where aid might yet be found.
sAnd when the storm afar had flown,
. And the blue deep was smoothe and clear,
While all the waves reflected shown
Upon the sleeping pillows there
Then would we seek our blooming bow'r,
And give loose to loves full flow,
And wing away each silent hour,
With Joys, which none but true hearts know
Vt5<Sn nld we find some sunny isle,
ne thou and Iwould quickly go,
There would lose beneath thy smile
What e'er my heart has known Of woe.

FRIDAY, April o.
Council met pursuant to adjournment
The Committee on Resolutions reported the
following resolutions, which were taken up
seridtim and adopted unanimously:
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That the election of Mr.. Buc-
hanan was not rejection by the people of
the United States of the controlling and fun
damentul principle Of the American party.
Resolved, That we sincerely believe tha
large majority of our countrymen are of
the opinion that radical change in the nat
uralizatian laws is necessary to maintain
the purity of our institutions and to preserve
our nationality.
Resolued, That the Federal Union being
the only safeguard of American liberty. ev-
cry true patriot should devote his best en-
ergies to its preservation. 2
Rssolusd, That the systematic agitatio of
the slavery question has brought our Union
into peril, and it is the duty of every Amer
lean patriot not to interfere with the ins,i-
tions of other States over which he has no
legitimate control.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the in
reference of the General Government in
the settlement of the question of slavery in
the Territories, and we believe that the cit
izens Of the United States, bona .tde resi-
dents in tho Territories, have the right to
determine the question of slavery when
they come to the adoption of a State consti-
tuition.
ResoIped, That the principle enunciated
by the President of the United States that
sit is the imperative and indispensable duty
OF the Government of the United States to
secure to every resident mha6ifant the free
and independent expression of his opinion
by his vote" in the Territories of the Uni
ted States, is departure from sound policy;
and should be resisted by every patriotic
citizen of the. confederacy, as the worst
form in which the odious doctrine of"squat-
ter sovereignty" can be offered to the ao'
ceptance of the American people.
RESOLVED, That the Americans Of Kentuc-
ky require their candidates for Congress to
ayow the determination to oppose the pass
age Of any law establishing the basis of suf-
ragein the Territories upon mere inhabitan-
cy. They demand citizenship as the first
requisite and qualification for suffrage, and
they regard the proposition Of the Buchanan
administration to enable aliens 10 participate
in the formation of State Constitutions, as a
gross perversiOn of principle, a wide depart
urs from sound policy, and the best evi.
dence that time and events have added to the
reasons which originally induced the organi-
cation of the American party. a
RESOLVED, That while the American party
in the State Of Kentucky tolerates free dis
cussion and free expression Of individual
opinions on the various political questions oil
the day, yet, under every political compG-
cation, the pure question of .4mericanisnl
shall take precedence Of all others.
Re,olved, That it is important for the best
interests Of the American party of our com
mon country that there shall be full repre-.
sentation of all the States in the Nationa
D Council to be convened in the City Of Louis
