That in respect to inhabitants, they re-
ported that they found there FIVE or six
thousand Russians, fifty or sixty thousand
Indians and Esquimaux; that the Esqui-
maux inhabiting the coast on the Northern
Sea, are industrious, peaceablc and teach
able, and live by hunting and fishing; that
the Indians inhabiting the interior, are
peaceable, and live by trapping and fishing.
This is the freshest description we have
Of that country but VIC know, from other
sources, that there are Greek churches
there with bishop and priests, and Lu.
thernn churches with clergymen Of that
persuasion.
From this testimony can there be lin
gering doubt in the minds Of any intelli-
gent reader that the purchase Of this vast
domain with its immense forests Of pine
timber, It's mines, its facilities for fish and
game taking, and its feasibility for arabic
agriculture and susceptibility for comforta.
BILE human residence, is bargain of i'm
mense value to this nationH When viewed
in oil its various aspects, can there be q
lingering doubt in any intelligent mind
that this treaty is one of the wisest ones
for US that was ever made? No doubts ex-
ist with us; and we do not perceive any
grounds for any in the mind Of any person
who is in favor of promoting the interests
and exalting the grandeur Of our republic.
We trust, therefore, that the Senate will

The Haytien Revolution.

BosToN, April Ga private letter re-
ceived in this city, dated Port-au-Prince
March IA, confirms the report of the over
throw Of the Government Of Hayti. Two
attempts were made by the revolutionary

MANUFACTURES are making steady and
rapid progress in the Western States. Our
Western exchanges bring us announce
ments of over seventy establishments either

The main interest of the West must con-

cultural. The comparative cheupncss and
extreme fertility Of land will render farm.

than manufactures. But the distance from
the great markets Of the East, and the
heavy charges for freight, will put limit
upon the profit of agricultural products
and lead the West inevitably to build up
manufactures at home.

relates incidentally to the attempt now

Boston, where the Legis. 'ature is in session,
they we're obliged, in obel 'tence to the be-
hests of their constituencies, to avoid the
appearance of drinking anything = stronger
than cold water. But here was an oppor-
tunity to indulge in a genuine old nsh'
ioned dinner, where the viands would be
washed down and their digestion promoted
by those nectarous tipples which enable
the epicure to enjoy thoroughly the social
pleasures Of the table. To eat simply for
the purpose of appeasing hunger and &c
cumulating fat, like a pig, (they said,) is
quite vulgar; but here is gentleman who
possesses the finest wines and liquors in

derstands the art of serving them in their

And here is an opportunity to relieve the
tolls OF legislation and unbend the mind
and refresh the body without danger Of
suffering political harm at home. All
will be quiet and snug in this little ar
rangement These were the reflections Of
the jolly legislators as they assembled at
Is hospitable mansion.
When they were ushercd, betimes, into
the banqueting room they found the table
set exactly as they had anticipated. Each
plate was aanked by goodly array of
glasses, suggestive of the different wines
that would accompany the respective
courses, from the lemon-havored oyster on
the half she'll and the soup and fish to the
dessert, coffee andso-forth. But, alas the
host, while he did the honors gracefully,
and very bounteous meal was served,
gave them no drop of wine. In point Of
fact he felt bound to apologize, after the
dinner had progressed through two or
three courses, for the wine glasses, which
he ordered away, saying that the major
domo of his establishment had not yet ac-
customed himself to the 'prohibitory" SEN
timent which is now prevailing in Massa-
chusetts, 1t is hardly necessary to add
that the dinner passed off very quietly.
