Each of these schemes, if carried out., like former ones, must involve the outlay of millions - of dollars more, which (since the Treasury is empty) must he raised by loans, Which loans must eventually bepaid, with in , terest, by the people. Is it like a wise and prudent people to borrow money to - buy that which when obtained will only serve to make our expenses greater ? If it_ is our " maul, fest destiny" to absorb all that surrounds its. let us not undertake to force matters ,liefore their time;but by carefully husbanding our . resources pfepare oursclvesto bear the heavy burdens that " manifest destiny" has in store Mr us. More than this. To admit foreign pt;ople to a participation in the blessings of our "free institutions," is of course a great benefit to thein, and it is ,natural - that they skorild be anxious to come in. Besides it is their.'" manifest destiny"—they must mine in. What then is our s pinper course, as a iractical pc-ink, holding to the maxim that "if any provide not. for his own house, he is worse - than - -an infidel 1" Why, we should make them pay for the privilege of coming in. That would be 'only fair. To take them under our eha u rge and undertake to govern them and defend theta from all enemies, would be not only a great advantage to them, but a great IoSS to us. Then we should haver our quictirro 'quo. Let theta pay fur the privilege what it is worth. - - We will libt un dertake here to fix 'the price, but it should be considerable. To reduce the SPaniards, Whirls, Mestizoes, Mulattoes, and Zainboes of - Mexico, who are always taking each other by the throat or stabbing each other behind the back s to anything like order, must be worth some millions; and then to raise them to the dignity of civilized-life, and 'finally of " enlightened" or slave-holding life,' and teach them-to talk the Yankee language, must cost some millions more. Let Mr. Secretary Cobb - and other-eminent financiers be set to figure up the expense-of all this, and make our speckled neighbors pay every cent of the es timated damage, before we permit their destiny:' to 6c, fa !tined. The mongrel tribes of Central. America should' he treated in -the Rape manner.. As for Cu barsbe..should pay still higher, not only be cause in her a million of " niggers' we should have another ebony Lone of contention thrown in to endanger our glorious Union, hut also because of the probable expensive war which would follow -her _annexation.— Two hundred millions- we think cheap enough for Cuba; 'and we propose to wait till " manifest destiny" sends her knocking at the door of the Union for admission at -that price. If she is in a hurry, let her- fork over that amount, and it will help to relieve Mr. Brichanan's admieistration tinnr their present-financial embarrassments, so that, in- stead of dividing all their time'and attention between temporary -expedients to "raise the wind' and nnthrifty scherries of slavery ag grandizement, they may have a little time to attend to the legitimate purposes of govern ment. -tar It seems that the'teneral ideU of the massiveness of Daniell Webster's physicsl proportions is erroneous,—the sense . of breadth lnd massive grandeur N wilicli his ap pearance inspired having been caused by his superb head and broad shoulders. A jkostun correspondent of the Now York Cintury 'says, on this point : He was', five feet and ten inches high. Ilow much-did he weigh'? An aged gentlemgn who was an intimate friend of Mr. Webster, 1 once assured ine that, in order to test the ac ' curacy of his mill opinion -against that of t r inany others, he :lAA him what his average weight was in the prime of manhood-, and 1 Mr. Webster answered "one hundred and ! forty pounds." This is so contrary to the genetal impression, that 1 should not dare to I record the statement it my recollection was not very distinct, and my con¢rdence in my venerable friend unlimited.

Entrons :—Mv last have you an ',intimation that you might bear from be again while on a journey to western New York, but my time was 'am fully occupied -then to. allow me to write letters, thouelt there - was not II little to tell of; and since my return, business cares have very much en grossed my attention. , A ddightfid time I had of it, going to a hitheeslouse to see all, the members - of the family living, assembJed together for' the first time in twenty two years.• •At the Bend, it was my pleasant fortune to meet a sister on the cars " homeward bound." The jour. neys, going and returning, of different mena• biers of the family, to bring. tbout this mei:t in7, were over 2,500 mile.J. In my journey, there, was little of interest, except as its monotony was relieved by ri,- Q uent detentions first a the Bend, waiting for the Expressowhieh was several hours be hind time, and then ag ain over night at Corn ing, because only the day previous, the train we expected to take, as the Railroad Guide told us, had been is ithdrawn. (Mem—if any body has to stay all night at Corning, the Dickinson House isn't a bad place to stop at.) In good season we were off- the next morning for Rochester. After going a row mites, the train stopped at a rsiral place; the name of which I could not learn ; it consist ed of a good sized wood-shed on one side of the track, and on the othei a shanty, a stack of hay, and two ecws. Sortie one atinouticed that there was trouble with the engine, and Most of the male passengers got out, to see what:it was. It proved to be a failure of a valve, so that only one side of the engine could work. The engineer and his-assistants were endeavoring to remedy the difficulty,'So that we could proceed, Alter two Or three hours' detention in this_interesting place, we got once more under headway, but at a very slow pace. A little after 10 o'clock we came to a place where the conductor 'announced that the train would stop fifteen minutes for the passengers to take :breakfast! -(fern—a few roils of Graham bread are capital things to have in one'ii pockets when on a journey —they don't get smashed easily, and there is diversion as 'well as other agreeable sensa tions in eating them, when the breakfast hohr is postponed till nearly noon.) .Then we had to switch (and wait forthe 'Weston. Ex press„to pass us, so that we reached Roches ter five minutes too late for the train we ex pected to take. Here we =find long • weary hours of waiting, for the city lamps had been lighted more than en hour when we took the cars for Lockport, Soon we bad passed over more than sixty Miles of straight, level track, and we left the train: A livery team eon- veyed us a - few miles toward the lake, and -we were once more under the parental roof. shall'not attempt to tell You of what trans pired during the week of my stay at home,; for though it has a very deep interest for me,: it might have none fur you. • Improvement in the farms and general pp- I pernance of the 'country, &Ong the two years that have elapsed since- my last visit there, is;quite apparent. They complain as elsewher‘of hard times, a prominent, de./ meat of which witlktliem seems to 'lie the failure of thus wheat crop for some years past, on account of the weevil. The farmers hope in a few years, however, to raise wheat as they used to do. The time aliened for my visit was "soap I passed, and My face was again turned, to wards Nicholson..

In preof this have only to refer to the nation of the House of Rept . er,•entatiVes a few days since 'upon the bill relating to pre.entption rights.

Grow of 4 Pennsylvanta, who has distinguished himself as:a-friend-of the settler .upon more than one occasion, moved an amendment uh:cli brought to an issue the very pith of the contest over the public lands ; as betiveen the speculator and the actual settler. Mr. (3row.s amendment was as follows: fir it : further enacted, That from and after the passage of this act no public land shall be ez,posed to sale by Proclamation of the Prey ident, unless the same shall have been sue. veyed, and, the return of euch'survey filed in the Land 011ie.° for ten years or more belore 31.:th sale. It was not without steady perseverance andllful management upon the part of its friends-that this (lineament was. bro't to a vote. nut it was at length agreed to, by a Y.Ofe of 97 to 82. , Then came the struggle upon the bill itself, which contained provi sions for a beneficial reform in the pre-emp tion laws, and with Mr. Grow's amendment incorporated, gave the actual settler ten years to pay for his claim before the same could be exposed to sale by the Government. Here was a Lest worthy of being made the touCh-stone by which the 'real regard of polit ical parties fur the interests of the people should he tried, and as suen4t, was destined to perform its part. • It was moved to lay the bill upon the ta ble, but this motion failed to carry. Then arose the question on ordering th 4. bill , as :upended, to be eng rossed and put upon its final passage.

If you violate a law of the United States, Mr. Garrison, we think you will tied an Ex ecutive that %ill make you answer for it.— Boston Post, That -depends altogether upon circumstanc es. If, for instance, "Mr. Garrison." should head a gang of pro-slavery 'rascals to prevent the legal voters of a:territory from exercising their rights at the ballot-box, he would suffer. no damag e at the hands of the.

Instead of $20,- 000,000 which was in the Treasury then,'and which Fremont would have'doubled by this time, they uould find the Bank book with *65.000,000 carried to the' other side. We have one advantage now for the next eainpaign- 7 -for none of our vnters will be dissuaded from going fur our candidate, for fear of any great calamity to the Treasury. This is a happy instance of ihe old saying, " Blessed be nothing." TuE :YACHT WANDERER EXPELLED. —A quarterly meeting of the. New York Yacht Club was held on Thursday of last week, at which resolutions were passed, expelling tthe yacht' Wanderer from the list of the Yacht Squadron, and erasing the name' of Captain W. C. irriefrom the roll of membership, for abusing the flag of the Club, and for con duct unbecoming a gentleinam These reso bitions were based upon information commu nicated to the U.S. Senate by the President of the United States, to the effect- that the Wanderer laid been employed by Corrie to ship a cargo of negroes on the coast of Africa, and land them in this country for the purpose of traffic. This action on the part of the New . York Yacht Club was entirely correct, and, indeed, was rendered imperative upon them by the relations which they hold to the General Government (or their harbor privi leges.—Porler'it Spirit. SECTIONAL PAR:rms.—The first move to ward the-formation of Sectionalor geograph ical parties was made by What is called the .Democratic paity, which has gradually been given up to the control of the Ultra Southern men for the purpose of extending the " pecul iar institunon" into free territory. This con tinued until the North was forced to organ ize the Republican party'in defence of free soil and free institutions. Theleaders of the present Republican party were once the chief men of the Democratic party North,• but were forced out of it by, its increasing pro. divines. for Southern Interests. Sumner, Banks, Chase, Wilmot, Fremont, are of this class. .The-Republican party never would have had an existence had the Democratic party retained its nationality, and had Dem ocratic administrations performed their duty te.the whole country instead of being given up to the exclusive use and,benefits of South ern men and Southern notions.---.Milibrd (Del.)
