So We think. We would not dissipate the
bright hopes that animate our Republican
friends at this stage Of the contest, but we
must warn them of the danger of relaxing
their efforts for securing victory which now
seems almest certain. The enemy is willy,
and cannot be trusted in any Of his professions.
He may yet outwit us with all our fattering
prospects of success. Depend upon it, that
there is no certainty Of overcoming him except
by q united and vigorous effort. If our

that we should have bester Fair this year

received from all, on my landing on the shores
of this, the earliest colonial possession of the
British crown. l trust you will not think me
regardless Of your jealous loyalty, if I
acknowledge those addresses collectively. It
will afford me the greatest satisfaction to
report to the Queen the devotion to her crown
and. person Enthusiastically evinced by the
reception of her son, and eloquently expressed
in the addresses from various bodies in this
town and harbor.
II am charged by the Queen to convey to
you the assurance Of the deep concern she
has ever felt in this interesting portion of her
dominion. shall carry back lively recol-
lection of this days proceedings, and of your
kindness to myself personally; but, above all,
of these hearty demonstrations of patriotism
which prove your deep-rooted attachment to
the great and free country of which we all
glory to be called the sons"
The Prince pleases the populace immensely
by his handsome countenance, and mild, quiet
and manly bearing. He drives out to-day.
There will be dinner party at the govern
ment house, this evening, and ball at 10

MORE OF Gov. JoHNsoN's RECoRD.-On
Nay 2sth, 1860. Gov. Johnson-the Squatter
nominee for Vice President-wrote letter,
in which he said:
II believe that it is the right Of the South
to demand, and the duty of Congress to
extend, protection Of persons and property OF
every kind (including slavery in the Terri
tories during their territorial state. This is
no new opinion. I advocated the doctrine as
far back as 1S4S, in the Senate of the United
States. Ifyou have any curiosity to see the
argument, | refer you to my speech on the
Oregon bill, delivered 7th July Of that year,
and reported in the Congressional GLOBE.
How unjust, therefore, are the insinuatlons
with which you intersperse and interlard your
editorial comments, that all are in favor OF
'Squatter Sovereignty who happen not to
agree with the seceders from the Charleston
Convention! repel the insinuation so far
as it may be intended to apply to me, come
from what quarter it may, and plead my own

WASHINGTON, July 81.
Accounts continue to reach this city that
our mercantile marine is subjected to the
most annoying perplexi,ies in the waters of
Netherland India so much SO, indeed, that,
unless some remedy be brought about by our
Government, no American commander will
risk his life and the property OF his employers
in those seas. Several cases of mutinous
conduct reaching to violent assaults on the
ships officers, have occurred within the past
few years at Batavia, Lourabaea, and other
Dutch East Indian ports; and, when the
authorities were invoked for protection, the
answer was that the outrages occurred under
the American flag, and were not recognizable
by the Dutch authorities. The cases of the
Huzzar, Norman, and the more recent one of
the Staghound, in which the estimable son of
Capt. Hussy was brutally murdered, are well
known in this city. The last named case is
now before Mr.. Hulse, the Inspector of the
Treasury, and shows q large amount of
superstitiousness on the part of the Dutch
authorities at Batavia, amounting almost to
the offense of participation. The opinion
here is that we should have new convention
with the Government of the Hague, and that,
until such convention is ratified, the United
States should by all means send some of our
most prompt naval officers to that station, to
guard against further injustice. rs .
The Postmaster General is about to issue an
important circular to Postmasters, requiring
in all cases postage stamps, and not money,
to be made in prepayment Of postage, and
prohibiting the use of the rating stamp in
canceling postage stamps. Any neglect to
cancel postage stamps efectually, or to post
mark letters plainly, will be regarded as
serious cause for censure, if not removal and
all Postmasters are required to report every
instance of such neglect to the Department
Office. Instructions are also to be issued in
regard to the execution of the recent provision
of Congress for the return of letters to the
writer's thereof, which are not taken out of the
Office by those to whom they are addressed.

but continued his usual visits to the Office
until toward the end of the last week. Having
been held in the highest estimation by all
classes Of the community, his death occasions
the deepest sorrow. Mr.. Gales is to be

In view Of the contagious and dangerous
character of that disease which has been so
fatal among cattle in the Eastern States, it
has been determined by the Directors of the
Iowa State Agricultural Society to admit no
cattle from other States at the appi oaching
exhibition, which will be held at Iowa City,

less take something from the interest and

1t appeared to be imperative and it will be
