To His Excellency Thos. Ii. Hicks, Governor
of Maryland
Dear Sir Yours Of the Goth Of January,
acknowledging the receipt Of the resolution
unanimously adopted by the State of South
Carolina, was received on yesterday and !
must be permitted to correct very grave
error into which you have fullcn in relation
to them.
You speak Of the resolutions as request
ing this State (Marymn to join in the APP
pvintment of deputies 70 i convention Of the
saveholding States, for their united action
in regard to secession from the Union" III
there is anything in the resolutions proposing
"a secession from the Union" am unable
to find it, and deny that South Carolina pro-
poses any such measure to Mary or her
other co-States. BY re-examining the reso-
lutions YOU will find that all that South Ca
rolna proposes, is "that the slayeholding
States should Immediately meet together t.
concert measures for united action and It
is forced and unwurrantable construction
Of the resolution u say that concerted ac-
ton" means secession from the Union. i
belong to that class Of politicians who have
been denounced as "hre-eaters," and never
for moment have desired dissolution 81
the Union ii our rights in the Union are res
pccted and our equality recognized. and !
solemnly believe the very best way to pre-
serve the Union is for the Southern States 70
meet and insist upon their rights, and 70 act
in concert in defending them.
If the South were united they could pre-
sarva tho ITnion and nj tho same time have

Printing Frauds.

An extraordinary but not unexpected de-
velopment was mGde before the printing in
yestigation Of the Senate en- Saturday. Mr..
Mecsrge, of Philadelphia, testified, among
other things, that he had received between
four and five thousand dollars from Mr..
Wendell, in 1856, to be applied TO the pur-
pose of organizing third party in that city,
to operate upon the gubernatorlai and presi-
Dental elections, which the democracy con
sidered absolutely essential NJ maans Of
CARRYING the State. This general fact was
we'll understood at the time, but it was not
known then, as now, that the public money
was thus shamefully appropriated to part-
san object The funds 90 iisad we're derived
from the profits of the public printing, ana
other Jobs, so that it may be said they were
virtually taken from the treasury, and cor
ruptly distributed to affect the elections
While honest men in Philadelphia and the
eastern part of the State supposed they we're
sustaining a principle in supporting q
third organization, it turns out they were
only the dnpes of vile trioksters. who had
been purchased to set that ball in motion,
under the inspiration of managers at this CAPT
tal and with money provided by assessments
levied upon offce-holders and contractors
The whole scheme s4s eqntriyed here, and
while tens of thousands of dollars were sub
sequeptly contributed by New York to aid
these infamous operations, the inception of
that fraud and villiapy may be traced direct
" to the plunderers who had and still have
their headquarters in Washington. and di-
rectly under the patronage ola democratic
Administration. - Philadelphia 4n'erican,-
fCan this be true.

Lord Brougham has lately been making
speech in the British House of Commons on
Cotton and Slavery" He was not as frea-
chant on the latter subject as he usually is
tho ugh quite as decided as ever; but he took
occa sion to denounce in the seyerest terms.
the late law Of Arkansas in relation to the
free negroes of that State. Tie was par
ticularly r~seGt that the British government
should give every encouragement to the oui-
ture and growth Of cotton in all the British
possessions, where it was possible to produce
the plant. All who spoke in the debate
which followed, concurred in the views of
Lord Brougham. Africa, seems to be a
point. for growing cotton, which is particu-
larly spoken of by these British statesmen;
and complaint is made about the conduct of
the French government, which, "while 1t
had abolished slavery, nomlnally in the
French dominions. had directly authorized
the purchase Of what were in mockery called
"free emigrants," of men brought down in
chains to the coast and shipped as free emf
grants to French colonies" The same may
be said about coolies. It is we'll to note
these things.

On the evening of the day, when Mr..

"Fellow-citizens," said he, ''as Othello said

Michael, love thee bu: never more be officer of

We have no doubt that this was said from
the depths of a full heart, though the spice of

more philosophy than can generally be ex.
