LETTER FROM SENATOR HAllMJND.

We find in the Boston Post the following
letter, written by.lIon. James II. Hammond,
Of South Carolina, TO the anniversary dlnner, III
honor of the birthday of Daniel Webster, at
Boston, on Monday, January Ii, 1859:
WASHINGTON, Dec. -. 1865.
Dear Sir: am very grateful to you, and TO
those whom you represent, for your polite in
vitaton to attend your dinner in Boston on the
18th prox, in honor Of Mr.. Webser's birthday
and for the kind assurances accompanying il,
in which have full confidence. My dnties
here, however, so entirely engage all my time,
that nHlst respectfully decline yonr invitation.
You say, that in the revolution, Alassachu-
settS and South Carolina stood "shOnlder &"

they stood SO now. And why do they not :
To have brought about their present relations,
one Of them must have erred much-possibly,'
both. Another age will decide between us.

Massachusetts to the same extent, we may JUST

States may yet stand "shoulder to shoulder"
the pillars of a constitutional Republic, wisely
and justly administered for the protection and
advancement Of all, without special privileges
or endowments to any section, class, or ndi-

a6Hs CASH SfsTEM.-The Nashville Union
has resolved to adopt the cash system tor sub
scrptions in future, and says, "the most power
ful argument which has urged them to this po-
stion is found in their account books, wherein
is recorded debt due them OF over sixty thou
sand dollars, accumulated since the 18th OF May,
1853, and for subscriptions alone of more than
forty thousand dollars"
This looks astonishing, hut it is the history
of every newspaper in the land that is published
ON the credit system How long will publishers
continue to pursue that ruinous policy? 1t is
obliged to end in beggary, try it who will, and
vet nine-tenths Of the newspapers ot the United

The African slave trade continues to prosper,
as heretofore. Recently the brig Ellen landed
q cargo of Africans, OF about nine hundred in
number, only iity.iive of whom were captured
on board one Of Marti's fishing vessels. The
Ellen was abandoned aground in the Canal de
los Barcos. at which place three deal bodies Of
her slave cargo were found, and four or tiv"
others were saved: the remainder reached the
plantations Another cargo of upwards of n
thousand, were landed about the middle OF last
month in the district of San Juan de los Rene,

enrichment of the slavers and their associates.

J rsIp LIGHTLY.

Trip lightly over trouble,
Trip lightly over wrong;
We onlymake grief double
by dwelling on it long.
Why clasp woes hand so tightly?
Why tgh Ger blossoms dead!
Why cling to forms unsightly!
Why not GEEK JOY instead?
Trip lightly over sorrow,
Though this day may be dark'
The unmay shine tomorrow,
And slily sing the lark;
Fair hopo has not departed,
Though reason may have fed,
Then never be down hearted,
But look for joy instead.

PROPOSED CHANGE In TILE TIRlFF,

Prominent Republicans of the House of Rep
resentatiycS, it is stated, have intimated to the
Chairman the Committee Of Ways and Means,
that they will not vote for any appropriation
bill which may be reported by the Committee,
unless some provision is made to meet the obi
cations which would be incurred by its passage
in other words that they are ucreTmihed to
stop the whole machinery of government, al-
less they can secure an increase Of the tariff
BIT notwithstanding til determination of the
Back Republican leaders, and the fact of the
existence of decided ma jorty in the House in
favor of modification of the tariff to increase
the revenue, we do not believe that it will be
changed at the present session.
The members Of the Committee of Ways and
Means differ, both as to the necessity for mol-
iicaton of the tarilI and the mode in which it
should be accomplished Dir. Phelps, the Chair
man, has project of his own; Mr.. Phillips .las
another; Mr.. Maclay another; and the Repub-
lican members of the committee another whilst
Messrs. Letcher, Crawford, and Dowdell, are
opposed to any action upon the tariff, and any
report upon the subject. In the House, the
differences of opinion upon the subject are as
wide as those which exist in the committee.
There is majority which would do something
with the tariff, but fortunately it is divided
upon different projects. In the meantime, it is
understood that the Secretary of the Treasury
is now opposed to any change in the tariff upon
tile ground that there is unusual activity in our
commerce under which the present tariff will
suun yield revenue enough and the Democratic
members Of the Senate have determined in
CAUCUS that it is ineXpedient to make any change
IL may be regarded therefore as settled, that no
bill which proposes to change the tariff to in
crease the revenue, can be passed at the present
session Of Cons,eas.-Constitutionalist.
Dlrn FROM GRlEr-English papers state that
recently hoy, eight years old, was committed

sudden shock at lis heart--as if shot. Al
though in good health at the time, and robust
and hearty man, he went home and never again
looked up. A deep seated melancholy took
possession of him; he was obliged to give up
work, and after few days was confined to his
bed. He gradually grew worse, and on the day
on which his child was to be fried, he breahed
his last. The surgeon who attended him, says
that he died of broken heart. The boy was
discharged.

I, sir, am not prepared to advocate the re-
opening of the slave trade, but am prepared to
advocate with all my mind and strength, TIC
sweeping away from our statutc-hook, Of laws
which stamp the people Of my section pirates,
and put stigma upon their institutions. 1t is
impossible to escape the inevitable logic-the
logic which the senior member from Ohio'l MIR.
Giddngs.l I believe, uses; if the slave trade be
now piracy, it always was piracy; if the slave
tiade ho nomSq crime against morality and re;
,igi5n, it alway& was !; md tile pirates that you
would hang to-day, stand on the same footing

aged their predecessors. / will never consent,

believe, Mr.. Chairman, that these are questions
that ought to be left, as gentlemen have said, to
time; and to he controlled, moreover, by the
sovereign States themselves. | have very grave
and serious doubts about the constutiUnality OF
the laws for the suppression of the slave trade.
have very grave and serious doubts whether
the constitutional power "to define and punish
piracy" gives Congress the right to say than
anything else shall be piracy than what tue laws
of nations had previously made so; and the
word "detine," think it may be very forcibly
argued, was only intended to do away for the
future With ambiguity, as to the precise defin-
ton Of piracy, as commonly but perhaps some
what vaguely understood at the time of the
adoption of our Federal Constitution.

the re-op,ning Of the slave trade. | do not
know that will ever como to that conclusion.
1t is purely economical, and not moral or
religious question. If England and France con-
tinue covcrtly to carry it on, we may be forced,
in self defence, to do the same thing; and,
whether you call it the I" "coolie system," or the
"involuntary emigration SYSTEM" ], as one bred
and reared where slavery is in full vigor and
