ANNA nIcK1NsoN,s BAp TEMPER.

A few days ago, replying to the question Of |
Democratic newspaper, whether we would not |
procure Miss Dickinson to lecture, in opposition
to the President, we mentioned that, in recent
letter she asked OF us ~'Are you Grant man"
and that we had answered, expressing our con-
fidence in, and regard for, the President the
circumstance being conclusive that we would mol
procure any such lecture. Whereupon, we now
find long letter from that lady in the Gazette OF
this city, paper which we may mention, is one
of those which Justified Slavery, encouraged So
cesson assailed Abraham Lincoln, chuckled
over Bull Run, gIoaned over AppomattoX, and
Joined consistently, for many years in the chorus
AGAINST those whom it named "nggers." In
such columns letter from Anna Dickinson looks
odd though, as they, like her own tongue, are
now employed in detraction of the gallant Union
soldier and faithful Republican President, the
association is not 80 remarkable,
1t is best, perhaps, to print all this preposter-
Gus outburst of vehemence and inaccuracy, in
full-as we do elsewhere-in order to give our
inhamed friend full vent for her temper, though
four-hfths OF it is either erroneous, extraneous,
or impertinent Some FIVE or six essential mis-
statements in it we shall leave, for the present
at least uncorected. We content ourselves
with saying that we owe Miss Dickinson nothing
that all our correspondence with her has been
friendly, and closed with an expression Of hei
confidence in the writer of this that we did moi
garble" her letter, because we did not pretenc
to publish it, at all, (as she very well knows,
but merely mentioned that it contained th'
question, Are you Grant MANI The insinu
ations of conduct 'dshonorable" and "untruth
full" we ascribe to Anna's very frail Judgment
and very quick temper. They may be excused
by those deficiencies of nature, but not justihe
by the facts of the case, and We sincerely trust
for her sake, that she will be ashamed Of hAvin
written them, when she sees them in print. W
said, but few days ago. that though her JUDI
ment did not always command respect, we az
mired her abilities, and honored her characte
but really it must be confessed by her friend
that such fight OF folly as this almost destro!
the last named feeling. There are people wi
believe her a scold we shall try not to think s

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.
Editor Daily Gazette:
Since you have been go kind as to give space
in your paper to some friendly words about me
and my lecture, l venture to trespass farther
upon your space and good nature for statement
Of facts.
Mr.. Howard NJ. Jenkins is, Isnppose the ed-
tor Of the COMMERCIAL. He is also or was, the
Secretary of The Peoples Course of Lectures.
In the latter capacity he engaged me, year
ago, to give one lecture in this course subse-
quently the date was fixed : that Of February
first = and the subject = "Demagogues and
WorkingmeE."
Long after my route was entirely marked and
half completed, less than fortnight before
should have come to Wilmington, too late to fill
my night elsewhere, and consequently entaing
upon me the loss Of my fee, received a letteI
from Mr. jenkins, asking for reasons that con
cerned his side alone, that the engagement
should be cancelled, or at least postponed.
At first said no, since had not disengas cd
night till the latter part of April afterwards re-
considered, at his petition and in my letter hall
seriously, half in good-natured raillery, suggest
ed that in place OF ''Demagogues and Working
men" for which he had engaged me- should
make my new political speech, adding in Jest
since knew Mr.. Jenkins to be member OF the
National Republican Committee, Are you
Grant man ?"
The broken business engagement the publi
cation Of the gaEbled contents of private letter
the disingenuous statement. suggesting that
was seeking any engagement at his hands, are
alike dishonorabe and untruthful II will no
say unmanly, since truth and honor are attri
butes that should pertain alike to man ant
woman.
The subject Of the lecture has nought to dc
with the merits or dement's of the case. I'VE
the People" was not, under any cii 'umstances
the speech for which l was engaged still
would like to add for my own satisfaction, ii can
with no fairness, be characterized as a persona

usurpation and corruption, Indifferent as to trhd

call to the people to do what they profess to do

UTAH AND HER PETITION FOR A STATES RIaHTs.
[grom the N. Y. Times,l
But no amount Of argument can explain away
/ the fact that there are considerations 10 pc
| weighed in deciding upon the petition OF utah,
/ which have never affected any similar claim lor
State rights. The Mormon community OF salt
| Lake have past record which cannot be diare-
/ garded when they put forward claim to be re-
| leased from territorial tutelage, and they stand
committed to certain doctrines and practices
| which cannot be ignored when they aspire 70
the Qlgnlty OF dlrecCnk tlu hhaiH " so'SAo'o
| State. The Mormons have been greatly slnned
against, II is true, bat there is no value in hu-
man testimony il their leaders have not also
been very gross sinners. Apart altogether from
the question of polygamy, for whose existence
/ the national Government must bear joint re-
sponsibility, the Mormon creed creates State
| within State, which under q civil despotism
| would be dangerous, and which, under Repub-
lie, could not safely be tolerated
THE OPEN POLAR SEA THEORY.
(From the N. Y. Herald.l
There is a way of interpreting the floating
leaves and birch-bough, which really strength
ems the theory Of the accessibility OF the Pols.
Capt. Bent's theory is that the Gulf Stream flows
/ into the Polar Sea, between Spitzbergen and
Greenland, and that its chilled waters are re,
turned by the Polar current flowing southward
| through the very channel where the Poldl'i'
, found it's ocean waits. 1t is thus conceivable
that the leaves and the birch limb may have beer
carried northwsrd from the temperate zone b!
! the Gulf Stream, and were returning from the
! journey when picked up by Capt. Hall. Il so
+. the theory OF an open Polar Sea is confirmed, bu
it's gateway lies far to the westward OF the cours
which the POl1ris has taken.
