ee NS EVENING STAR. WAFHINGTON CITY: MONDAY.. March 3, 1836. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Intelligencer foreshadows its purpose of Justifying England in the matter of the re- cruitment negotiation—saying : “ Our paragrarh stated that ‘Mr. Crampton had been instructed to make such an offer [of arbitratiop} 9s far back as November; but from an oversight did not fhake a formal sub- missien of the wishes of his Government until the 27th of February.’ In point of fact Mr. Crampton was simply instructed of tess Gov- ernment to ‘communicate to Mr. Marcy the despatch’ of November 10, referring to the offer of arbitration which, as Lord Clarendon says, * had been made to Mr. Buchanan, and by him declined, but which, he said, he would make known to his(iovernment.’ It was only on learning lately that cur Government was not aware of Lord Clarendon’s offer that Mr. Crampton referred to the despatch, and, find- ing that he was instructed to communicate a copy of it to Mr Marcy, did so. It would not be just to any of the parties to let the impres- sion go abroad that the British Minister neg- lected to make the formal proposition to our Government, that the American Minister (the negotiator) was only informally acquainted With it, while the facts are the reverse.’ Now, the British minister did neglect to make “the /o¥mal proposition,” and the American minister was only informally ac- quainted with it, or there is no truth what- ever in the official documents just sent in to Congress. They show up the acts of England in this matter in a light which carries con- Viction of the double wrong perpetrated against the United States. We regret more than we an express to find our respected cotemporary the Intelligencer thus palliating the injury and insult to their government, involved in the line of policy Lord Clarendon has ecen fit to pursue upon this subject. The Uniox defends the President against Senator Hale’s attack upon the subject of his policy with reference to Kansas (+o New Mosic.—Our neighbor, Geo. Hilbus, who is ever on the alert to produce novelties, is publishing ‘ Vocal Beauties, from the most Popular composers."’ The first is that charm- ing song of Palmer's: “Don’t say one thing and mean another.” A Valuable Forthcoming Work. We perceive that Mitchell, the Philadelphia map publisher, is about to issue a new edi- tion of his Usiversat Atnas. We are sure that the public will reward him handsomely for hie expense and trouble in eo doing ; be- cause the work is, beyond comparison, the most valuable publication of the kind that has so far seen the light on this side of the Atlantic. In a family the heads of which Propose to give their children all easily ob tained advantages of thorough education, its presence is indispensible ; teaching geogra- phy at « glance, in a way that the smallest child can at once comprehend, and so exten- sively and critically in its details as to serve the purpose of a complete geographical ency- clopedia. To the man of general information from books, or the student, it is equaily indis- pensable. Indeed, no American library of reference can possibly be complete without it, as we well know from experience. We under- stand that the new edition will embrace the routes, discoveries, verifications and correc- tions in the Arctic regions resulting from Dr Kane's expedition, as well as those resulting from the other expeditions that went in search of Sir John Franklin’s ill-fated party. We hear, toe, that it will contain capital maps of Kansas and Nebraska, which will prove very acceptable to the public just now. The De- troit Daily Democrat says of it : “We have bofore us a new edition of that most valuable publication, “Mitchell’s Uni- verss! Atlas.’ This extensive work contains @ series of one hundred and thirty maps, plans and sections. There is a special map very fall and correct of each one of the Taited States. The present. contains many improve- ments upon the last edition. One very marked one, is the location of the railroad routes in our country, which are constructed, in process of construction, or even projected. In order to accomplish this, and some other equally desi- rable improvements, it has been found neces- sary to engrave ane! meses for several of the countries of the world, and specially anumber of our own States, consequently we have new and greatly improved maps of New York, Illf- nois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Texas, Min- nesota, California, and a separate map of Mexico, and the Isthmus of Nicaragua and Tehuantepec There is also an uncommonly fine general map of Europe, containing of course all the places of interest concerned in the present war. There is also a new map of Palestine, with the river Jordan laid down in accordance with Lieutenant Lynch’s ex Plorations and surveys. “Tn the compilation of these maps, the re Sulte of the wost recent and important geo- gee discoveries have been made availa- le. The maps are not only authentic in their details, but they are comprehensive and complete. The plates upon which the maps were printed have been engraved with much care, and each map being beautifully colored, the different States, countries, governments, and provinces are the more distinctly exhib- ited. There is also a colored frontispiece showing the height of the principal moun- tains and the length of the principal rivers on the globe. In tables throughout the work is also comprehended a large amount of etatisti- cal information. This Atlas is unequalled by any other extant, and is invaluable to the student and the general reader.”” Information can be obtained in this city eon- cerning its cost, the details of its magnificent plan, its style, &c., trom the agent, at Morri- son's book store. Dirromatic Bary.—In “La Espagna,” a Madrid newspaper, published on the 24th of January, we find the following account of s ball giveu at the American Legation, in that city, which we translate for the benefit of our readers - “Amongst the brilliant balls given durin, the present winter by the first society of Made rid, that which took place on the 22d inst. in the saloons of the Legation of the United States of America merits especial mention. Animation, a 0 elegance, and cordial gayet reigned in this reunion, com » as ® etd of the aristecracy of this Court and many persons i ed in the political and lite- rary world here were present, among num- berless other, Her Higuaess the Infan Duchess of Sessa ; the Duchesses of Victoria. Gor, Alba, Rivas, Frias; the Countesses of Montije, Toreno, Punonrostro, Paredes Tor- rejon; the Marchioness of Turgot and of Sat- urino; Mesdames Serrano, Fernandes de Ve- laseo, Otway, Isola, Weiswoiller, and Pastor, who were distinguished for their elegance and beauty, as were the Misses Altamira, Gor, Brunetti, Rivas, Valera, Cueto, Urzaiz, Coza- Bayona, Fuentes, Casa-Flores, and others. “Amongst the men we recollect the Marquis of Turgot, Generals Infante, Zavala and Ser- rano, the Count of Altamira, Duke Rivas, Marquis of Sam Felices, Count Asinhaga, Messrs. de Cueto, Echague, Caballero, Vivo, Osman, Count Galen, Heredia, &c * We are oblized to give up this enumera- tion, whicb, if it were complete, would be in- « It is unnecessary to say that Gen.

The Enlistment Question —With the ex- ception of the National Intelligencer, every journal coming to band since the publication of the documents bearing on the difficulty be- tween the United States and Britainon the En listment question, emphatically endorses the views of it for which this Government has been contending. It mattersnot with which political party these newspapers affiliate, or how much venom they have heretofore displayed towards the President and Secretary of State, they unite in declaring that the positions those functionaries have assumed in this connection are eminently wise and patriotic. The New York Herald, not long since remarkable for the vehemence of its abuse of the American Government for an alleged disposition to get up unnecessarily a war with England, by driving Mr Crampton ignominiously from the United States, now suddenly changes its tune, and berates the President and Secretary of State for having failed to turn that gentleman neck and heels out of the country long since! Its characteristic wheel-about in this con- nection is amusing, as a forcible illustration of the utter want of fixed rules or principles in its conduct; and as making plain the fact that it gladly becomes ‘* pig or puppy’’ upon any and all questions, when there may be a likelibood that by playing the hog it will suc- ceed better in its always-kept-in-view purpese of bringing the Administration into disrepute, than by playing the dog—and vice versa. With the exception of that single journal, whose reversed comments on the document take the ground that there has been too much forbearance on the part of the United States, all are loud in commendation of the course pursued by the President, now that the facts are known, and profuse in their declarations that the country applaud and will sustain its government in the matter, with an unanimity heretofore unknown upon any question what- ever between the United States and a foreign power. The already celebrated despatch of Mr. Marcy, of the 28th of December, wherein the whole case is argued with perspicacity and perfectly irresistible reasoning, is certainly regarded by public men of all parties in this city, as being one of the ablest state papers marking the history of this Government’s ne- gotiations ; bringing, as it does, forcibly to the minds of the prudent and experienced, the im- portance of keeping the immediate conduct of our foreign relations, more especially in times of so general international commotion as the present, in the hands of a well-balanced, firm, sagacious, experienced and powerful states- man, such as now holds the helm of the Amer- ican State Department. We never knew a more forcible illustration of the power of in- tellect and judgment than this case irresisti- bly presents. Up to the promulgation of the message in question, everybody in the Opposition was crying out against the Government's policy and measures with reference to the question. The instant the country came to understand precisely what had been done in Washington, and the true circumstances producing that ac- tion, the sentiments of all those to whom we refer above changed ; and they are now loud- est in praise of the policy pursued by the Chief Magistrate, and of the consummate ability and statesmanship with whieh that policy has been carried out by his Minister for Foreign Relations. Mr. Francis P. 'Blair.—This gentleman published in the Baltimore papers of Satur- day last a card, wherein he protests that he did mot assume recently to represent himself as the delegate of the Baltimore mercantile interest at Pittsburg; but only of such Balti- more merchants as were members of “the Republican association” of Baltimore, who seem, by the by, to be comprised on one in- dividual ; a Mr. Corkran, who, we hear, isa Quaker dealer in shingles, boards, &c. Mr. Blair owes the unenviable position in which he finds himself placed in this connection, wholly to the efforts of his party friends, who seem to bold as an article in their creed, the duty of misrepresenting facts whenever that may appear likely to increase their party eapi‘al. They wrote far and near, from Pitts- burg, that he had boasted that the commercial interests of Baltimore symp athised in the Re- publican party (abolition) cause, and held out hopes that ere long the South would come to listen complacently to Free Soil arguments. He protests, too, that his part inthe pro- ceedings was not to justify abolitionism, but simply to aid the cause of the restoration of the Missouri restriction. With men of common sense his protestations will not weigh a fig. He was there “ cahood- ling’’ with all the leaders of the red-mouth Abolitioniem of the day ; presiding over them while they were preaching such vengance upon and hostility to the South, as the same parties—Messrs. Giddings, Greeley, & Co.— preach ordinarily. A man is known, politi- cally, a8 otherwise, by the company he keeps. Mr. Blair bas no right to expect that those among whom he resides will regard him as any more entitled to their respect and confidence as a man, than they do the men he has chosen for his political friends and sympathising as- sociates, who make it a boast that they regard it a virtuous act to aid in stealing the negroes of his neighbors or any others of the South It strikes us that in accepting his recent Balti- more appointment, and in acting as the Presi- dent of the Pittsburg convention, he has placed himself, as a man, on a level with those with whom he acted so complacently until he found that he had made Maryland almost too hot to hold him. Railroads —The whole country has lately been vocal with newspaper complaints of mail failures, even over the best conducted and usually most regularly and extensively run railroad mail lines in the United States. There can be no question that these com- plaints are founded on fact. In our mind, however, there is serious question as to their justice. We believe that a season so fruitful of embarrassments for all out-of-dovr’s busi- ness as the present has not been known in this country—certainly wilhin the iast quar- ter of a century. We have felt it in our own business, wherein unlooked-for contingencies, Growing, for the most part, out of the disa- bilities oocasioned by the extreme tempera- ture and accumulated snow, cost us, during the months of January and Fe! bruary, the ex- penditure of at least an extra thouzand dol- lars; and that’ too, without enabling us to remedy satisfactorily the embarrassments to the proper conduct of our business thus brought on it by the uncontrolable elements. There are vessels |ying in the Potomao river that have been stationary in the ice for at least two months, costing their owners and those of theireargoes thousands on thousands of dollars through the unexpected detention The various railroad corporations have been the principal fafferers, however ; though in the most of their troubles the popular voice, as expressed by the newspapers, has been loud in condemnation of the futility of their efforts to overcome impossibilities. We travelled last week some four hundred miles by rail- roud, and were an eye-witness to the terrible destruction of railroad paraphernalia grow- ing out of the extreme weather, notwithstand- ing the unexampled good temper and perse- verance exhibited by every officer and ser- vant of the companies over whose roads we wended our way. Our trip was to Rishmond city and back, via the Orange and Alexandria ‘and Central Virgimia roads. Though some time since the embarrassments from accumu- lated snow on the tracks ceased, those re- sult ing from undue metalic contraction and expansion continue. The rapid rate at which such leading routes are run heats the bearings of the wheels now, as much as in the summer; and when stopped, the extreme cold (on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad down to 29° below zero) cools them so much faster than under ordinary circum. stances, as to result in flaws and contortions of car machinery producing stoppages, which end in mail failures notwithstanding extraor- dinary exertions on the part of the railroad men to prevent them. The engines, too, are subject to similar accidents from the same cause, and no scientific skill has been compe- tent to guard against the evil up to this time. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad company are now said to have piled up at a single point on their long line—Piedmont—quite eighty tons of disabled wheels, the fruit of the unpropi- tious temperature of the last two months! No other railroad is better conducted than the particular lines we name; nor have their been fewer ‘failures to connect’? on any other routes in the Union located in so high latitudes, in the course of the season. It will be a fair estimate to say that the enormous dertruction of machinery to which we allude above, arising from the causes we mention, will sweep away at least what would be the season’s profits of all the companies from the southern boundary of Virginia to Canada, during the unpropitious season. Save Him from his friends—He cant ake care of his enemies —We have no earthly disposition to write a harsh paragraph con- cerning Mr. Fillmore, for whom. personally, we entertain deep respect and kind regard. But wo should be unfaithful to our duty as a chronicler of current events of interest, were we to fail to explain to our readers the phases which the contest for the Presidency may take with reference to him from time to time. His own State voted in the Philadelphia Con- vention for the most part for Live Oak George Law, the gentleman who figured s0 conspicuously in the Dry Dock Bank case not very long since before the United States Su- preme Court. Since the nomination of Mr. Fill- more, the George Law delegates have, in sol- emn and mournful conclave, repudiated his nomination, for various reasons Among them we find enumerated the declaration thathe is a bogus Hindoo—a false fire worshipper,—one who eats the devouring element only as the juggler does; taking due care not to scorch his throat while seeming to the gaping crowd to be gulphing it down in yard-long flakes or streams. They protest against his nomina- tion because— “First. The nominee is not a member of the American party ; ho has never been inside of a council room, and no act of his life, no word spoken or line written by him of which we have any knowledge, indicates that he sympathizes with that party, orthat he would carry out its prneipler, ‘Second. His nomination we regard as an utter betrayal of the great American move- ment—a traitorous attempt to wrest it from its purpose and make it minister to the selfish ambition of the leaders and demagogues ofthe dead organisation of the past. “Third. He was forced upon the State of New York by Southern votes against the wish of our State delegates, and from those States which no man pretends can carry their vote for an American President. ‘Fourth. He was forced upon the State of New York against the express wish of a large majority of our State Legislature. against the express wish of a majority of the State officers, and, we repeat against the express wish of two thirds of our delegates in the Convention. ‘Fifth. He was not nominated by a fha- jority of the States, or by the delegates of a majority of the States. ‘Several States were permitted télast their votes through a single delegate, who cast the whole manta of votes to which his State would have been entitled. Such votes were cast by parties who had pre- viously protested against the proceedings and retired from the Convention.’ Oregon Territory.—Returns have reached the General Land Office from the Surveyor General at Salem, Oregon Territory, of the sectional surveys of fourteen townships and the exteriors of five townships. These sec” tional surveys are situated south and west of Columbia River, commencing opposite to Fort Vancouver and extending to a point down the river about ten miles below Rainier, and run- ning back to near the head waters of the Tualatin river, whilst the township exteriors lie between the forks of the Santiam river. Appointment of Indian Agents.—Mr. Mi- chael T. Simmons, of Washington Territory, to be agent for the Indians in that Territory. Mr. George Butler, of South Carolina, who was commissioned during the recess of the Senate, to be agent for the Cherokee Indians. Messrs. E. A. Stevenson and James A. Pat- terson, of California, to be agents for the 1n- dians in California.

In the Senate, to-day, after disposing of a few Executive department communications, that were on the President’s table, Mr. Cass rose to a persoyal explanation, wherein he reviewed certain misstatements found in this morning’s National Intelligencer, signed “J. W. W.,” upon the Enlistment question; which said misrepresentations did great injustice to himself, (Mr. C.) On motion of Mr. Rusk, they proceeded to consider a Yee resolution for the relief of the Muscogee Railroad Company, on which they were engaged when we went to press. In the House, shortly after the reading of the journal, they went into Committee on the Deficiency bill, (Mr Pennington in the chair.)
