rally we are all extremely anxious to hear
from the Burnside expedition. This would
be SO if all connected with it were personal
strangers to US, Tor the expedition is very
important one, and much is expected from it.
But the anxiety is greatly increased by the
circumstance that many Of the soldiers in that
expedition are our acquaintances, neighbors,
and friends. Not less than 5000 of those men
went from Massachusetts, and two of the
regiments from this county. 1t is now very
certain that Gen. Burnside and bis men have
gone to the coast of North Carolina, and that
the feet went into Abcmarle or Pamlico
Sound.
There is reason TO suspect that portion of
the fleet connected with the expedition left fort
Monroe very quietly several days before the
troops from Annapolis arrived there, and that
it was already on Pamlico Sound, when the
fleet sailed from Hampton Roads last Sunday
and Monday. This feet has been spoken this
side of Hatteras. We shall soon know where
it went and how it Jared.

OF CoURsE.-The first man to introduce
the "nigger" into the New York assembly
chamber as a subject of debate is Mr.. Doyle of
Albany, democratic member. Mr.. Doyle
wants the legislature to DECLARE that the mem
bers OF congress should not advocate enamel
patton. of course Mr. Doyle feels fully COM
petent to dictate to congressman what their
political sentiments shall be- EUeHinq Journal
This Mr. Doyle of Albany represents class
of politicians whose chief business is to agitate
the slavery question. They are perpetually
on hunt to find "abolitionism". and quarrel
with it. Whoever pronounces the word slave
ry in presence of one of these people is in i'm
mediate danger of being crazed by furious d.
atribes on the subject in which slavery figures
as an injured innocent, and all who dislike it
are sent to the hot place. In politics they
rely entirely on this agitation of the slavery
question. Without it they would at once be-
come the most forlorn of political incapabes.
They must accuse their political opponents of
"fanatica aboitionism," and contrive comb.
nations based on this accusation, or they
would be without occupation. 1t is the only
political business for which they seem to have
any capacity,
We have some of these people in Massachu-
setis. In Boston there is one Newspaper that
aspires to be their organ and oracle, and there
never was seen pro-slavery agitator more ia.
natically faithful TO his purpose. We say "fa-
natically )" but that is not the right word.
Fanaticism implies frantic belief in something,
and has a kind of honest earnestness; while
this "organ" deals more in snobbish preten-
sions and malignant personal antipathies than
in any thing like faith or honesty. On looking
over the last number OF this Boston newspaper
we find it unusually free from pro slavery agi-
tation, and yet the slavery question is stirred
more or less in the course of four of its edito-
rial articles and paragraphs. In one of them
"our friends in the country" are urged to pro.
cure signatures TO memorials "in relation TO
the negro question:" and return them to this
office
Men OF this class, like Nick Bottom, seek to
"play all the paris" and to exclude from
prominent activity, if not from existence, all
the world but themselves. They must have
sole monopoly of the negro question" and
exclusive control Of politics. with authority to

they please. Of course their pretensions are
not treated as civilly as they desire. Some
body else exists in the world beside them
SELVES and, on the whole much Superior to
themselves, and of course they fail. But fail
ure teaches them nothing. Their peculiar
disease only becomes more vrulent than
ever; and then how terrfcally they agitate
the slavery question seeking thereby 10 ami
hiate opposition and doom their successful
antagonists to everlasting weakness and dis
honor. There has been some complaint of
useless discussions in congress. The pro-
slavery voices are always prominent in discus.
sions there, and if that body were composed
entirely OF men like those to whom we refer,
what an outpouring there would be!

The NATIVES OF HATTERAs.-The New
Bedford Mercury prints part of private let
ter from llatteras, which exposes villanous
humbug that has been used TO swinde. charita-
Bile persons in New York and elsewhere. 1t
was reported that the people inhabting Hat
teras Island were in very destitute and suf-
fering condition that they were very loyal
also; and that, having rebeed againt seces-
sion rule, they had elected Rev. Noble NJ.
Taylor governor, and "Hon" Mr.. Foster mem.
Der of congress- 1t will be remembered that
these men were at New York, not long since,
and that "Hon. Mr.. Foster" made desperate
but unsuccessful effort at Washington to be
recognized as a member OF congress.
The writer OF the letter referred to- who has
explored that region with care, denounces
them both as impudent impostors. They
were so successful in New York that schoon-
er laden with supplies was sent to Hatteras.
The letter says" The schooner Elijah
Sheldon arrived here on Wednesday evening,
and appeal to Mr. Dow, who came in her in
the double capacity Of supercargo and almont r,
if he has not been badly SO d." The region
inhabited by these people is the county of
Hyde, in North Carolina. They number
about 2000 They are ignorant but cunning
"They look poor, but all have money" All
the mass of these people have asked is the
privilege of buying flour and corn of the gov.
ernment' and this they have been permitted
to do They are not at all in danger of starva.
ton, and their loyalty appears to be altogether
matter OF calculation. The letter giving
this account of the iIatteras people was writ
ten 10 a lady in New Bedford. The writer
seems far enough from being in love with
either the people or the region. Therefore
no rose color was employed in painting this
picture.

SUPERIOR CoURT-C,vH Term The case

has occupied the time OF the court since
Saturday last, was decided yesterday, by a
verdict for the defendant. This was an action
to recover the amount of note for one thou.
sand dollars, dated April IS, 1860, on nine
months. 1t appeared that on that day Sawyer
sold certain patent rights OF Sawyer's Ventila-
ting Furnace. Range, and Stoves, to Wiswell,
for the sum of $4,000 of which Wiswell had
already paid $1,000 10 other parties to whom
the notes had been endorsed, and he now re.
sisted the claim of Sawyer TO further payment,
on the ground that the notes were obtained by
fraudulent representations as to the value of
the patents and the furnace, and that there
was no consideration for them. A great deal
of evidence was introduced as to what repre-.
sensations were made, and as to their truth,
and whether the Sawyer furnace was Son.

Police CoURT.-A woman was arraigned
before the court, yesterday, on the charge of
passing counterfeit money. 1t appeared by
the evidence that she went into the store of
S. r. Haywood, on Wednesday, and after
looking at some goods, offered photograph
So bill on the Mount Vernon Bank of Boston
in payment for a pair OF shoes. The bill being
doubted, was taken to the bank, and pro-
nounced bad. The woman then left, say.
ing that she would return again with
some good money and take the shoes.
Instead of this, however, she proceeded
to the store OF Sibley & Manning, where she
put out the same bill again in payment for
some shoes. In reply to doubts, she said the
bill was a good one, whereupon the goods
were delivered to her, for the bill, with the
balance III change, she agreeing to change the
bill if it was not good, and giving her name as
Mrs. Howe. Constable Braman being in the
store at the time, and knowing of the previous
attempt to pass the same bill at Mr.. hey
woods, took measures for her arrest, which
resulted in her being bound over in $500 to
answer at the criminal term of the superior
court, which commences its session in this city
on Monday next.

CITY AND COUNTY.

WENDELL PHILIPS LECTURE, last night
Hall, though not so large as some we have had
there on other occasions, this winter lie
spoke of the war, a topic he said, that should
be the only one with ever serious minded
American. But the lecture fell below his rep
utation for eioquence. There was lack of
heartiness and generous enthusiasm. We
have never heard him when his words had so
little power 20 control the sympathy OF his
audience.
There was no lack OF the outward graces
that have contributed to give him his high po-
sition as an orator. The failure came from
the clear, strong, and just conviction that lie
was atrociously unjust TO the men in whose
hands rests the control of our national affairs.
The man who can so unhesitatingly denounce
Mr.. Seward as "Micawber," and Mr.. Lin
coin as man "wbo left his brains and con-
science in Kentucky" does not deserve to
hear enthusiastic responses from an intelligent
audience. His injustice was felt as one feels
the utterance of falseho1d. Moreover, his vi
tuperation was ll-timcd as well as misdirected.
His tone in reference to the government
was in all respects untriendly. Looking at
the rebels, he saw ability, craftsmanship, and
other great and noble qualities, on account OF
which, he said, they deserve success; while in
our government he saw nothing but imbecil
ity and lack of every thing that can merit
eulogy. /; is not thus that patriotic men
deal by the government at time like this. 1t
is the habit of Mr.. Phillips to utter invectives,
and in his mind, it may be, they have less
meaning than to those who hear them. This
however cannot render such injustice excus-
able.
