hassayet to bear a democrat eject to the conduct of the

Mid to create the impression that the Democracy , of
Pennsylvania, who so cheerfully and unanimously. ens
trained Mr BUCHANAN for the Presidency, would not
isesitjoiced at his being called to any post of honor in
theTresidentl gift.
'Btu the Sentinel, conscious that the party in Penn

t** that Mr. B. should be called so the Secretaryship
iteStere. admits that the "commendatory letter might
wen :Meat approval." but strange to say, adds that
"the act [of uniting it] is generally disapproved."—
Bore is a nice distinction, certainly; far too nice, ae
Tertrittbr the perception of the en right-forward Dem
=racy of Pennsylvania. If the 1-tter expressed the
steatiments and "met the approval," of the Democra
ey,bow did the Electors transgress in preparing it?
the Sentinel says "the recommendation is not, and
4 4aust notbe considered a State recommendation; it is
"at . ommendatory lager from twenty-five citizens."—
tere,egain, the Sentinel is "drawing it fine." There ;
-.cap be no manner of doubt that the proportion of the'
Dwane, who signed the letter represent at least a
corresponding proportion of the Democrats in the
State. Or in other words, that at least 25 out of eve
n 2ti of the Democrats of Pennsylvania would begrati
bad to see Mr. BUCHANAN Secretary of State, or, we
might wifely add, in any other office the nation would
bestow; And, this being the case, the Sentinel may
*Wit a State recommenattion ot.aat, as it pleases; it
is enough to know that .the Electors truly spoke she
*Ube" of the Democracy of the State.
"The Sentinel is no doubt correct in its assumption
shot Mr. Bvensaus would not, if ho had been con

!UDC Of CAPT. til‘o64Alq.—:Tbe account which we
pubrubed els last Saturday relative to the semis a of
the Buenos Ayres Squadron, by Corn. Voorlreer
idently a one aided statement, thet •real curiae of the act
being withheld. It in stated% Now York, on verbal
information, that the Argentina fleet had offered a groat"
trmult to the American brig of war Bainbridge, and
that seven of the crew of the American barque Rosal
yn had been killed by a shot from one of their grins.—
The true caurtatuf the prdeaeding- cannot therefore be
known until further intelligence is received from Mon
tevideo. With regard to the melancholy death of
Capt. Newman, hoWever, the following letter, which
we find in the Ne'Snork Enquirer, seems to be au
thentic:—Balt Sun.;
U. S. Brig Bainbridge,
Moavavlnzo, Oct. 17, 1844.
I have th e melancholy intelligence to communicate
of the drat of CaptairOevernan. When we arrived
at this port, in September, a little Buenos Ayrean
schooner fired a couple of shot at us, which the Cap
taid,,clid not think • proper to return. This caused a
great deal of talk, and was the cause of much uneasi
ness to him.
He did net appear, however, to let it prey upon his
mind, so that it could be discovered, although in fact
he was very much grieved. Things went on as usual
until we returned from a short visit to Maldonado.—
When fie came back hero, on the 9th nf October, the
captain went on board the Congress, and returned at
10 o'clock. saying to me, "I was right; all was well"—
referring to a conversation 1 . had with him the same
evening. We stood in next day, and anchored under
the town. The weather was bad, very damp end dis
agreeable. He appeared better than he had been,
(suffering from dyspepsia,) but towards night his spir
its were much depressed. I spoke to him before I
turned in, and he gave too a short and unsatisfactory
answer. ,
About three o'ci - I was roused out by the cry of
"The captain's missing!" I. rushed on deck, and the
awful fact at once struck me—he had committed sui
cide. Ile was walking the gangway, smoking, when
the quarter master went formate make it 12 o'clock.
Ho put his cigar in the man's facgoeveral times, but
with the evident purpose to tee why he was. The mid
man of the watch heard•a spjash in the water: and
looking overboard, thought he saw the fin of a shark.
and called the quarter-master's attention to it, but it
had disappeared. lie had no suspicion that it was
the captain, as be says he had just looked down in the
cabin, and saw the captain's slippers and greatcoat ly
ing as if he had just turned in
At 3 o'clock his steward went to see if he wanted
anything, and then it was discovered he was gone..—.
His cep was feund under the baits, and at six o'clock
the next morning I saw the body of the good Hide
man brought up from the bottom. He was dressed in
his usual clothes, with a heavy overcoat on; and he
had 'one down and put on a pair of boots, and pla
ced his slippers and an old coat on camp stools, to de
ceive any who should look down. He was placid and
calm in death, and perfectly natural. We butted him
with the honors of war, on Friday, the 11th October,
et two o'clock, PM. in the English burying ground,
outside the walls of Montevideo. A large concourse
of foreign officers attended the funeral, and all respect
was paid to the remains of one so deeply and univer
sally lamented.
SCZNE IM ka.TCHLTOCIICS.••—The followint article
from the Picayune describes a mcwl thrilling and it
teresting scene. The manner of celebrating, was
unique, in these times of political excitement. The
agony of ths mute, worm:not but think, is piled oo a
Kso•thick,, but still there seems to be enough of
truth in•tbe description to make us feel for and respect
iris sorrow, while, at the same time it is difficult to
imagine bow any &interested person would mourn
so:imply over the defeat of Dk CLatm
The whigs and dernomots orthe tows an& parish of
Nattbitoches agreed entorgit themselves, previous to
the presidential eh= ion,to procure the nesensary emu
eition mire two•hundred and fifty rounds in honor of
the successful candidate. The flag stars of the two
parties were within a few yards of one and other, and
from their summits the banners of their respective
chiefs streamed in graceful dalliance with the winds of
heaven. It was stipulated that upon the result of the
canvass being ascertained, a national salute of thirteen
guns should be fired, when the banner of the defeated
party should be Towered to the ground, that dons, the
firing of the remainder of the two hundred and fifty
guns should be resumed.
When the intelligence of Mr. Polk's election roach.
ed tintehitoteites, both parties assembled under their
respective flag-stars. The firing was begun, and at
the thirteenth discharge the whir,* Toweled t he ensign
of Clay and Frelinginivsen. amid as profounder silence
as serer reigned peer the citadel ache dead. The fi
ring was then continued, without further demonstra
tion en the part of the democrats of an exulting cha
racter.
Amon-st. the whirl there was one deaf and dumb
from birth. When the Clay banner was removed
from the ground, after the discharge of the thirteen
guns to a building hard by, he went away and was not
seen again until the firing was ended. He was then
discovered with his face buried in the folds of the fel.
len flag, and in a posture betokening the sincerest an.
guish. Ile bad been a compositor in one of the print.
ing offices of the tillage, and hod embraced the whig
cause with the ardor peculiar to the fervid sensibilities
of that bereft class of persons. When the emblem of
his faith was no longer to be seen &wing in the mid
air, there was no need for one like him at the meeting.
The booming cannon pealed its thunders in vain--sach
things could neither asauage nor aggravate his grief.
Nor could the condolence of friends reach his bruised
spirit. The consolation of interchanging words of
comfort with
,bie ketbren, was denied him by nature.
He could only follow the symbol of his creed, speech.
less like himself, and fallen as were the hopes that
erewhile warmed his bosom with the glow of joyous
expectation. , -
When he raised his head from the flag, tears were'
coursing down his Cheeks and his eyes were dim with
weeping. It was the only mode that misfortune had
left him to threw off the pressure from his heart.
Whig and democrat were alike affected by this touch
ing spectacle of sorrow. Nor did any one seekto dis
turb him in anyway. The citizens dilpersed each to
his own benusoind whether it was from sympathy fur
a fellow being despoiled by nature of the moat impor
tant attributes of man, or a proneness of the heart to
partake of the woe that is without guile, many a sturdy
democrat and stalwart whig brushed away the dow
that gathered upon the eyelids, as they pondered upon
the speechless grief of the sorrow-stricken mute.
The Slave Trade and the United States.—The
London Globe containi an extract from a despatch of
Lord Aberdeen's, addressed toner Miaisteriunder the
date of November /343. It states that by a re
port on the Slave Trade in Brazil, it appears that
Arnericap shipping is engaged , in. transporting to the
coast of Africa articles necessary far Slave Trade ope
lations. It is the custeip, in case of the purchase of
Ainericae vessels foe'dtei Slave Trade by a secret
coransct, to leave a portion of the•puraiuie money
unpaid until the vessel shall- bare made one or two
trips to the coast of Africa, in her American character,
with cargoes belonging to the purchasers suited to car
ry on Slave operations. The same fact is atilited- in a
despatch frolu her Majesty's Consul et Billion. Lord
Aberdeen fartberdrew Mr Everett's attention to the
tact, that the American schooner Leda was visited by
Liout Wilson, of H 13 M ship Cygnet, on the coastof
Africa, aid particularly to this expression of Lieut
Wilson, "that the Leda was probably interrupted in
the act of shipping slaves."

Important Recovery of Stolen Property.—The
robb••ry of Messrs Rockwell's jewelry store, in the
Aster House, some months ago, is doubtless familiar
to all our readers, and also the fact that the supposed
rotffier, a notorious English rogue, named William
Hoppy, was arrested, bat wagered to effect his es
cape from the tombs while awaiting hie triaL Happy
was re-arrested in Brooklyn a few days since, and ha■
at length confessed his guilt, (of which there was not
a shadow of doubt,) and through the advice of his
counsel, James M. Smith, Esq., consented to point
oot tit,* place where his share of the stolen property
was concealed. Accordingly he was yesterday placed
in a carriage with two of the deputy keepers, and
taken to his house io Adams street, Brooklyn, where
he procuted the key of the house in which be was ar
rested, and irk* the officers into the yard, he pointed
out to them the spot, beneath a pile of lumbar, where
the booty was concealed. A few micutes of digging
brought us light Arty-else gold watches, twesity-sar
silver watches, six silver watch cases and four valuable
movements, worth in all about six thousand dollars—
which have ken restored to the rightful owners.
The meeting of Hoppy with his wife and children,
(whom be had not seen fur a long time,) is described
toes by an eye witness as characteristic of this bold.
and successful rogue. He wok his children up one
one by one, two or three times, and kissing them,
bade them farewell; saying be teal going away to be
gone a long time. His wifer, who is a beautiful wo
man, did not display any emotion on tbo.occasion.
Tho property thus recovered fa said to be mure than
half of all that was stolen, and if any lenity can be
shown to a rogue so deep and daring, it is expected
that his voluntary surrender of property which might
otherwise have been lost for ever, will induce the
court to extend it to him.

that the inspectors of the Suite prison at Providence
have refused, and persist in their refusal, to let Gover
nor Dorr sign, or even tee, a petition to tho Supreme
Court for a writ of error. The citizens of Providence
have signed the petition, as the near friends of this
persecuted man. God grant a favorable answer to
their prayers, and all the people will say "amen!"
