ALABAMA CLAIMs.-We are in
formed that the most persistent and
unyielding of the private citizens
who have claims against the British
Government are DIR. j. G. Aver &
Co, Of Lowell, Mass, the manufac-
tuners of medicines. They will con-
sent to nothing less than that their
demand for medicines destroyed by
the British pirates shall he paid in
gold and in dollars to the last cent.
They are emlboldened by the fact
that the destruction of their goods
by the English in China and else
where for where are not that
troublesome nation trampling upon
somebody? p have hitherto been paid
in full, and they now say that they
shall be-. They however propose
this coril,aen,isa lGlye rs Canada

can then send our remedies there

The amount of the q Alabama
claims = is s13, &C., 900. On the
other hand, the amount of the
claims of British subjects against
us is estimated at $40, O00, 900. Most
OF this is to be paid for cotton seiz-
ed by our Government which had
been previously assigned by the
Rebel Government or the owners to
British subjects during the late
civil war. As d compromise the
Commissioners will, if the British
treaty ID ratified, probably agree
that both claims shall be paid,
bringing the United States III debt
to England to the tune of s ,O00, 600.

famous Southern Convention held at Nashville in
1851 and the strong stand he took as defender Of

What Leading Republican Paper of
New York Thinks of Philadelphia's
Political Rings.
The New York Post of last evening has the
following editorial article:-
The honest Republicans of Philadelphia who have
grown tired OF following corrupt leaders, and have
protested within the party already too long without
hope Of reform, have determined, as last resort
and the only means left to redress their wrongs
to refuse their support to some OF the candidates
feeeRsy nor c t Nc ZEN
TELEGRAPH, the Bulletin, and the Inquirer, lead in
this movement, and openly advise their readers to
vote for the Democratic candidates. II they shall be
worthy, rather than make the party responsible for
the men whom their party managers nave presented
OF course the party managers are outraged at this
rebellion against their rule, and labor hard TO coun
teract t. A meeting OF men, calling themselves the
Tivol Republican Association was called for the
purpose Of adopting resolution declaring that the
Press and two or three other papers were the only
"trle" Republican journals in Philadelphia. These
"truen Republican papers, although they cannot in
all cases defend the candidates they present,
vigorously denoqnce those who intend to vote
''What good can any Republican hope to accomplish
by voting against this tcket?" and, sis there Re-
know that the election In Pennsylvania next Octo.
Der will be the index TO the election in 1s7s and that
every enemy who desires the defeat of the Republi
can party in the Presidential election will be guided
and cheered by its overthrow in pennsylvania this
year?"
that If the Republican party shall be defeated this
year it will be because the party managers have
made bad nominations and encouraged corruption.
The Republicans Of Philadelphia, like the Repub.
licans of New Hampshire, believe that defeat with
honest candidates Is better than triumph with rogues
20 lead them. The power OF the Republican party
has always been, IN great measure, due 10 the fact
that it has tolerated larger liberty OF criticism than
any other party. 1t is too late now, therefore, to
expect that the Republican voters will be driven by
the threats of defeat next year to the support OF
corrupt men who are engaged In unpatriotic
schemes for their own profit, and who take adyan-
tage OF the present condition OF the party to force
themselves forward.
II the Republican party triumphs next year II
must be with the help OF it's critics. it must be be-
cause Of its critics, and this spirit Is prominent
throughout the country.
