Spirit of 9en1ottatp,
The Republican Candidate for Vice
President-A Serious Charge.

Il has been established as fact, by
Colonel Smart, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Maine, that Hannibal
Hamlin, the Republican nominee for Vice
President, when member of Congress,
received o fee ofseven thousand dollars for
lobbying . claim through Congress.
Read the following letter: ~
PORTLAND, Aug. 6, 1850.
o~DxAR SIR: I very we'll remember the
interest which Mr.. Hamlin took in pro.
curing the passage of the resolve extend
ing the time FOR fling evidence befaEa the
Commissioner for the distribution OF the
Brazilian Indemnity. The Seaate Com
nittee reported the resolve, and think
it.psssed on the same day. Ehis resolve
pfovided for nine months additional time
therefor, Mr.. Mason movelfito amend
by reducing it to four months saying he
had consulted with Mr.. Hamlin, the Sem
ator from Maine, who had seen the Com
missioner. teA {
6.The resolve was taken up in the House
on Friday. the day assigned to Private
Calendar, and was forced through before
taking up private bills. Mr.. Hamlin fol-
lowed the resolve into the House. I
saw him converse with yourself and 9TH
ers. Hespoke to me to aid the passage
Of the resolve as public measure, and at
the time did not dream that he had a
private interest in the claim, or was using
his Senatorial position for his private
benefit The first knowledge. had Of
Mr.. Hamlin's attorneyship was on meet
ing him on his way to Massachusetts, to
take evidence in support of his claim af.
to. the adjournment. os s.sg-->-l---
-eDaring the next session of Congress,
Mr.. Hamlin read to me written argu-
msnt which he had prepared and after
ward ,Hled before the Commissioner in
suppoftof the claim which he was em>
ployed to sustain. Why he was engaged
BY Massachusetts clients, may well chal-
lenge inquiry. Mr.. Hamlin has never
been distinguished for eminence as law.
yer,, while he had q reputation as polit.
ical and Congressional manager.
1Mr. Hamlin was successful, and, /
understand, received some $4,000, Of
which his share was one-fou-th, or 81, 900,
Her said to me that some Washington
ba6ker had advised him to invest his
money in some Western railroad, and he
had acted in accordance with this ad.
vice. sai.A ,4hl is

ment aud his peculiar agency in the mat.

highest fashionable authority, Morris
/ & Willis Eome Journal. 1t will in
terest our lady readers:
LADY's DRESS ARTIsTcALLY Con.
sIDERED.-To dress in Perfect good
taste lady should thoroughly under
stand the philosophy ofapparel. Dress
is not simply an article OF use; gar.
ment which the female sex indiscrim-
inately can wear, and in which each
will appear equally, but it is a
means whereby the especial nature OF
the wearer is clearly displayed. That
which is becoming and appropriate to
one is essentially ont OF place if worn
by another; while some costumes
the blcomer, for instance possess no
fitness for any, and simply serves to
render the wearer ridiculous. Many
things are merely utilitarian in char.
acter and have no claim to the slight.
est beauty, but are stiff and unSeemIy.
Such garments may be convenient tor
common use, but with us grace and
elegance ofcostume are the truest sign
Of lady. A woman Of a tall figure,
dignitied in her carriage and inclin.
ing to soberness Of spirits, ifshe wo'd
preserve these characteristics, would,
doubtless, select such stutfs for her
dresses, Of neutral tints, as would in.
crease this impression, and wo'd have
them made up in a simple, chaste style
and wear them with hoops. Ii the
impression she desired to make were
more lively, she would probably
choose bright colors, and add fources
and other trimmings. The opposite
of this lady, brilliant, gay little beau.
ty, would selec! materials much high.
er in tone and, probably, with bright.
er and more contrasted trimmings
Jewelry is not obnoxious Oh such per.
sons, and a brilliant head dress adds
to the general appearance OF vivacity.
Such lady can wear hoops OF a mod.
crate size with great advantage. In.
deed the present fashion of hoops
which we are glad to see continues un-
changed, Notwithstanding all the gos.
sips say to the contrary-is becoming
to more persons than any style of dress
heretofore adopted. 1t Itcombines grace
fnlness aud elegance with healthful-
ness and comfort. Since their intro.
duction spinal diseases, so common.
have, in a great measure, disappeared;
nor has any other complaint arisen in
its place. The latest and most authen.
tic advices, received since tae 1st Of
January, from the Courts OF Europe,
state that hoops not only continue IN
much favor, but their popularity is es.
sentially Increased, especially since
the French Empress has, for weighty
reasons, expressed a desire that they
should remain in vogue. All Amer.
ican ladies who consult taste, comfort,
health and good sense, would not dis.
pense with them on any account. A
slight alteration in the shape of the
skirts is the only change at all appa.
rent. They have become, we per-
ceive, trife more moderate in di.
mensions, noticeable particularly in
the upper part ofths skirt-the hoops
in the lower portion having suffered
little diminution.
