LETTER FROM THE PRESIDKST-MR. LAW
AND THE CRESCENT CITS,
- Tbe President hat thought proper lo make
P'iblio the subjoined Letter to the Collector
of New York, in reply to one addressed to
him personally by that officer. Like every
thing from the pun of the President, it i dP
reel and explicit, and leaves Mr. Law, the
Owner of lha steamer Crescent City, no room
to mistake his own duty as a citizen, or the
President's determination to maiutaln the su
premacy of our laws as well as our interna
tfonal obligations. To his plain admonitions
the President kindly adds some wholesome
advice lo Mr. Law, which we doubt not will
hare the effect to restrain him from the im
prudent steps which he intimated it lo be
his iiUenlion to lake in regard to the difficulty
in which he has unnecessarily involved him
self with the Cuban au'.hoiities.
Washington, November 12, 1852.
Hon. Hvgh Maxwell, New Yoik City:-
Your note of yesterday came to hand this
morning, in which you slate a conversation
you have had with Mr. George Law, from
which you learned that the "Crescent City
will go to Cuba and enter the port of Havana
in defiance of the Spanish authority ; and, if
fired upon, she will be surrendered, and that
then he and others will immediately com
mence hostilities against tho island." You
say, also, that "he desires to know whether
be is right in persisting in Ihe pursuit of his
lawful business and that if the Government
shall tell liim he must not go, he will not ro.
If, however, the Government says nothing
gainst his going, he will inter he has a right
to go. .You say also, that "he professes to be
friendly lo me and my Administration."
Of Ihe sincerity of thin latter profession one
can best judge by teaJing his letter of Ihe
9th, published in th'J New York Herald of
the JOth inst.
But, in regard u the chief matters of your
letter, permit me to say, that, in the fust
place, 1 do not admit the right of Mr. Law,
or any other citizen, to threaten war on his
own account, for the purpose of seeking re
dress for real or imaginary injuries, and then
(o call upon the Government to say whether
it approves or disproves of such conduct, and
assumes its approbation unless the act is for
bidden. The Constitution of the United
States has vested in Congress alone the pow
er of declaring war, and neither the Execu
tive branch of the Government nor Mr. Law
has any right to usurp that power by com
mencing a war without its authority ; and if
tie shall attempt it, it will be my duty, as it
is my determination, lo exert all tho power
confided to the Executive Government by
the Constitution and Laws to prevent it. I
am resolved, at every hazard, to maintain
eur rights in this controversy as against
Spain, and I am equally resolved that no act
of our own citizens shall be permitted to
place this Government in the wiong.
Mr. Law has an undoubted right to pursue
his lawful business; but when a question is
raised between this Government and a for
eign nation as to whether the business which
he pursues is lawful, or pursued in a lawful
wanner, the decision of that question belongs
to the two Governments, and not him. If
the object be to assert' his right to enter ibe
port of Havana with such persons as he may
choose to select, in defiance of the laws and
Government of Spain, he has certainly done
enough to present that question for the deci
sion of the Governments of Spain and the
United States; and the negotiation has al
ready commenced, and our rights, at we un
derstand them, havo been asserted, and, as
I said beforo, will bo maintained. But the
act of this Government cannot be controlled
by the interference of any individual, and it
is entirely unnecessary that Mr. Law should
repeat these attempts for Ihe purpose of sett
ling this controvert)1 ; and if he wilfully does
so, and in so doing viulatesthe laws of a for
eign nation within its own jurisdiction, and
thereby loses or forfeits bis vessel, he can ex.
peel no iudemnity for such an act of fully
from this Government.
We regulate the terms and conditions upon
which all foreign vessels shall enter our
ports, and wo fix the penalties for a violation
of our laws, and tho right to do so we shall
never suffer lo be questioned by foreigners,
and we do not question theirs to do Ihe same
thing. He must wail the result of the nego
tiations between the two Governments.
This is a question not to be settled between
him and Cuba, nor even between ihe United
Slates and Cuba, but between the United
States and Spain, which alune is responsible
for the conduct of the Governor of Cuba.

EXTENSION OF THE TELEORAPH.
Dr. Goel is now engaged in extending
hit telegraph wires from Northumberland
to Selinsgrove, a distance of 7 miles. The
posts are all up, and we understand the
wire, will be put up this week. This will
be a great convenience to our Selinsgrove
neighbors, who are extensively engaged in
mercantile business. From Selinsgrove,
tho line is, we understand, to be extended
to Harrisburg,. by January next. This, we
think, is a mistaken policy, inasmuch there
will be, ere long, a line extended from this
place to Harrisburg on this side, along the
Susquehanna Rail Road. Telegraphs are
now considered a necessary adjunct to rail
roads, to enable them to work them safely.
Had this line been extended on this side to
Harrisburg, Selinsgrove and other stations
could easily have been supplied by stretch
ing a line over the river. A it is, we shall
in a few years have two lines, one on each
side of the river, from this to Harrisburg.
The business on Ihe rail road between this
and Poltsville, will also require telegraphic
facilities when the road is completed, and
a line will, no doubt, be extended along the
route, which will make the shortest line
between this and Philadelphia.

O The late rains have swollen all the
streams throughout the State. The Sus

but is now rapidly falling. A considerable
quantity of lumber lias passed down. The
price of lumber is still high and we pre1
sume will never come down any lower
than at present. Boards that were selling
ten years ago at six dollars per 1000 are
now selling from $10 to 912.
COLD WEATHER.
The season for cold weather is fast ap
proaching, Already we have had a nun
ber of white frosts. Winter is alwavs a
season of suffering and distress with the
poor, especially in cities and towns. With
those who have an abundance to render
themselves comlorlable, it may sometimes
be unpleasant and inconvenient; they
should, therefore, be the more ready to ex
tend unto their less fortunate fellow beings,
the open hand of charity. We, however,
of the country, can hardly form an idea of
the extent of suffering and distress that is
prevalent in large cities, during the winter
season.
PHILADELPHIA AND SUNBURY RAILROAD.
The Miners' Journal speaking ol the ex
tension of the Mine Hill Road to Ashland,
refers to the road from this place, to meet it,
as being under contract only to a point
four miles beyond Shamokin. This is in
correct. The whole road is under contract
from this place to Ashland, and will be gra
ded to that place by next fall, but the con
tract is, to have the road finished to tho
point alluded to, lour miles above Shamo
kin, by next May.
TWO BROTHERS IN CONGRESS.
The eleotion to Congress of the two Wash-
burns, one from Illinois and the other from
Maine, is spoken of by some of our coloni
poraries as something remarkable ; and yet
it is by no means the first instance of two
brothers being at the same lime members of
that body. Messrs. Joseph R. and C. J. In
gersoll, two brothers, served in Congress for
one or two terms, the former representing
the Whig city of Philadelphia, and being
one of the ablest Whigs in Congress, while
the latter represented a Locofoco district,
and was, perhaps, the ablest man on his
side of the House.
We know of other inslanres, but know of
none where they differed in political senti
ments, and acled with opposite parties. P.
P. Barbour of Virginia was a member of the
House during the same lime that his brother
James was a member of the Senate from the
sanio State. John A. King of New York,
and James G King of New Jersey, two sons
of Ruftis Kin?, and both very able men and
good and true Whigs, served together in the
last Congress. So did, some years ago, Mo
ses II. Grinnell of New Yoik, and Joseph
Grinnell of Massachusetts, both prominent
whig and able membcts. In the present
Congress there are Iwo brothers, Frederick
P. Stanton of Tennessep, and Richard Stanlon
from Kentucky, both active and able mem
bers and out and out Democrats. We havo
no doubt many other instances could be
found if seairhed for.
There is an instance at this time of father
and son being members of the same body.
Henry Dodge of Wisconsin, at present U. S.
Senator from that Stale, is tho father of A
C. Dodge, the U. S. Senator from lowa.---
They weie also in tho House at Ihe same
lime as Delegates from their respective Ter
ritories.
Of the two Harbours referred to, a cotom
porary relates the following anecdote
No two men could be more unlike than
tli3 brothers Kaibonr. They both possessed a
good deal of talent, were thoroughly educa
ted, and both obtained a great official distinc
tion Philip was chosen Speaker of the Na
tional House of Representative, and at the
time of his death was a Justice of tho Su
preme Court of Ihe United Slates. James
was successively a member of the two
Houses of Congret-s, Sectclary of War, and
Minister to England. Philip was of a meia-
scarce, and enhanced the wages of work. ' physical turn of mind "spoke and wrote with
mel)t I logical precision, and was noted lor his skill
in casuistry, and the fineness of his distinr.

liamsport have agreed to a corporate sub
scription of $100,000 to the stock of the
HIGH TRICE OF IRON.
The price of iron lias advanced much
beyond its actual value. This will, no
doubt, greatly stimulate the trade and man
ufacture of the article, but it is a ruinous
and bad business. If the tarifron iron had
been specific, or, what would, perhaps, be
better, on the "sliding scale" principle, it
would work more advantageously for all
concerned. While iron was selling in
England, at $15 per ton, the duty at 30
per cent, was only $4,50. Now when the
price is nearly doubled, the price is still
further increased by a duty of about $9,
when the duty should be nominally noth
ing. Why not adopt a "sliding scale" by
which the duty is diminished as the price
increases, and vice versa? While Ameri
can manufacturers are gettinj up new es
tablishments, the British Iron Masters are
reaping fortunes. When the Americana
are ready to manufacture, the price will
go down, so as to render it here a loosing
business our British rivals, having, in the
mean time, made enough by extra high
prices, to keep going at low rates, until an-
otlier rise shall occur. Cut we do not believe
that iron will ever come down as low as it
has been. The discovery ol gold in Cali
fornia, but more particularly in Australia,
will put a new face upon things. The
emigration from England to Australia lias
already rendered laborers comparatively

days ago a deposite was made at the United
Slates Alint of gold from Australia, the first,
we believe that has been receive there.
The depositor was a young man of this coun
try, who had been in California for two years,
but was unlucky and made nothing. Tempt
ed by the reports from Australia he tailed
for that country and went to ihe diggings. In
two months he succeeded, by great good
luck, in getting about five thousund dollars
worth of dust. With this "bird in hand" he
conoluded to oome home, and deposite a por
tion of his earnings, as we have slated. The
gold is superior in richness to that from Cali
fornia, being worth about two dollars more to
the ounce. Phila. Bulletin.

The Republic, commenting on this letter,
vays that Mr. Law, on being apprised o! its
contents, replied, that his intentions in rela

that Lieut. Davenpoit has been removedi
and that no other officer of the Navy will be
permitted to enter the service of Ihe Compa

present practice of converting the visits of
their steamers to Havana into a source of an
noyance to the Spanish officials.
With a view of preventing Ihe repetition
f the injury which Ibe failure lo deliver the

.interest, lle Postmaster General has directed
.that the mails shall not be again despatched
jn the Crescent City, nor in any other of the

Turser Smith onboard, but will be sent by

Taggart, we know, was able, energetic and

of his, that the re;ull was not different.
The News says, that though unsuccessful,
he has established fur himself the character
ol an honest and straightforward working
Whig, and has claims upon the party which
we hope will, at a proper time, be appre
ciated and requited.
The Lycoming Gazette in refering
