Our aim has been to economise space, and at the same time to make the Star even more legible than heretofore to those whose eyes may be failing. This change has heen an expensive one. But we enjoy the encouragement of knowing that our journal has acquired the general good-will of our fellow- citizens, of all parties, to an extent which thus smounts to positive insurance to us against loss by the present and prospective change incident to this improvement. se PERSONAL. -++- Thalberg is performing in Boston ---+ Rev.

WASHINGTON NEWS. AND GOSSIP. Ax Istznzstive Letrer.—It will be recol- lected that, some months since, A. Hogeboom, pai & well-known ultra-abolition writer, ber aged George Fitzhugh, Esq., of Virginia, distinguished author of ne on the social economy of the two of the diseuss with him the slavery qu : gun of the latter was fired first, and way into the Liberator. re | . pod was quite recently fired t same nal. " He published in the Yast number of the Liberator a letter to Mr. Fitzhugh, which that gentleman answers through the Star of this day. We take from the Lrderator the letter from Mr. Hogeboom, and append to it the reply Mr. Fitahugh requests us to publish, which will be found interesting, pertinent, and able. as everything is that emanates from his (Mr. Fits- bugh’s) aceomplished pen : SLAVERY VS. FREEDOM. Grorok Fitznven, Exg.—Dear Sir: As the readers of the Liberator wish to know what has become of our sp guid and as I wish tomake to you publicly a proposition for a test of the vir- tues of your form of society in regard to bringing ail great questions to the test of reason and inves. tigation, I address you a few lines through a pa- per which finds its way to your study. T had hoped that niy friend would assume a share of the trouble of the publication of our cor- Tespondence, and give the work a circulation at the South as well as at the North; but this you thought proper to decline. After much oar: ments have been made for the ion our letters. The pamphlet, one thousand copies, will be outin al three weeks. It il contain about forty » end will be brought out in excellent style. As you directed, your manuseript was sent to your friend, Mr. Gerrit Smith, for connection. Now, Mr. Fitzhugh, what I propose is simply this, that you take a share of the imphiets for circulation in your section. I shall put the work at the very low price of ten cents per single copy, or eight cents in packages of not less than fifty, to be sent by express. But I will not charge even these rates. You may have a few hundted copies at the bare cost Fel aprons Of course, Ido not wish boy to take the pamphlets, if the proscriptive spirit of your form of society would preclude their circulation. What does my friend think about it? Does the Sonth love da: kness rather than light? If so, is such a form of socte- ty, to be recommended ? Is it, Mr. Fitzhugh ? A note in The Liberator will be expected in re- ply to this. Very truly, yours, A. Hocrsoom. Shed's Corner, Madison Co., N.Y ., Feb. 22, 1857. Wasuineton, April 2, 1957. A. Hogrsoom, Esq.—Dear Sir: exceeding- ly regret that my absence from home has pre- vented my earlier attention to yours of February 22d in the Boston Liberator. he comments of ! the Liberator on my work “Cannibals All!” in | the same number in'‘which your letter appeared, | Were of such a character as precludes the proprie- | ty of making that paper the medium of a reply | to you, as you setaest T have many personal | friends among the leading A bolitionists, together with whom [aspire soon to enro? yourself, and have been extremely mortified as a maa at the violence of Mr. Garrison’s assaults; as an author, it pleases me, because it shows that my shaft has told. Mr. Garrison and I, you know, entirely concur as to the utter failure of free society. In- deed, you know, he goes much further than I; | for he thinks it has failed utterly even at the | North, and should be substituted by Heaven knows what ; for whilst he distinctly disapproves | all Auman government, I understand. he denies the existence of God; for, as he most logically | concludes from his premises “that slavery being an enormous crime and evil, and always univer- sally prevalent in some form, no God would have perinitted such a state of things.” I repeat. I think, Mr. Garrison and I agree admirably in the | general idea that free society has failed, and only differ as to the remedy. Why should he abuse me who propose slavery as the remedy any more than Mr. Greely ‘ales Bos weg Fourierite Phalan- steries; or Mr. Grodell, who would get up 2 mil- lenium ; or Mr. Andrews, who thinks Free Love will do the business; or Brigham Young, who cures social evils by the multitude of his wives; or Philips and Parker, who would discredit the Bible as the seape-goat for human ills; or Gerrit | Smith, who would make “land common to all as | air and water;"’ or Seward, whose higher law would make each man’s conscience the arbiter of right and wrong ; or Parson Miller who, less san- guine than the rest, exclaims, “votla la picie finie, allons souper'’’ * the play is over, the world is ended, put on your wings and let’s go to heaven ?”? All of the leading Abolitionists agree with me that free society is an utter failure, and all pro- pose different remedics. Why single me out for persecution because my remedy differs from others, when no two agree? ‘IT, too, ama bro- ther.” a Why, Mr. Hogeboom. 1 admit Vii tell i and assect that but for socialists and abolition- ists free society, as an exceptional organization, is admirable. “i contend that in new countries ere lands are too closely monopolised, general liberty begets eect aay! oo and competition. I maintain that so long as the west offers a vent for the nonproperty holders of the north your in- stitutions are excellent. In forty-eight hours almost any man among you may becoine a pro- prictor, and it is better to be a proprietor thana slave. New England. and eastern New York and Pennsyslvania, are like the Hans Towns of the middle ages; you flourish not only because you are free, but tere because you trade with, manufacture for, an supply all productions requiring skill, to slave society. Free pes he an admirable exeeptional forin of society, but slave society only is normal I do not agree with Greely, and Garrison, and Smith, and Goodell, and Seward that societ: has failed at the north. No, I propose to punis them for their more than treasonable agitati to Lring about social, moral, religious and g ernmental change “Hine ille lacryme!”? Mr. Garrison abuses me because I think a thousand times better of the northern society than he does. I am conserva- tive north and south. I would preserve all our institutions. He would upset themall. I would punish all agitation directed against those insti- tutions, because I believe in the sovereignty of society; Le inthe sovereignty of the individual. This brings me to an answer to your letter. If your reply to my letters is calin and philosophic, I will with pleasure disseminate the hiet, but I cannot undertake to scatter fire brands un: der the delusive mantie of freedom of discussion, for I don’t believe in the right of free discussion at all times, in all places, and under all cireum- stances. From my correspondence with you I feel ae sure that there will be nothing objec- tiunable in your replies to my letters; but I un- pega” | refuse to give currency to the pam- phlet until I know what it contafns—no matter what were the subject of controvers: y; provided it were moral, social, economical, political, ethical, or religious, I would not undertake to dessemi- nate it until I knew its character, for, in Virginia, I should subject myself to criminal prosecution and punishment, if it violated in any of the de- cencies and proprieties of life. I hope Northern | lined will publish this reply, so that you may ove no advantage by the churlish conduct of Mr. Garrison—or that he may get into a better tem; per, barre the amende honoratle, and publish it him- sels. With respect and regard. yonr obedient servant, Gxo. Firzuven. Tus Cavet Expgeivext.—The camels in Texas have been heard from up to the 17th March. They are doing well, and those firat brought over are in use for the transportation of supplies between San Antonio and Camp Verde. Three littles ones were born in March and are thriving, and five or six more births are expected. From the reports of the condi- tion of the animals, at present, and through the eleven months that the first importation have been on the continent, we may regard all doubts as to their acclimation dissipated, and that so much of the experiment is a fized Sact, The only remaining indeterminate point is the character of the stock that may be produced. For this, time will be required. The officers in charge are, however, sanguine that it will fully equal that of Asia Minor and Africa, and may, by proper attention, be more highly developed. Knowing the capabilities of the animal, and the uses to which it is put in Asia—the im- mense trade there carried on by means of it— the only question now presented to our minds is—W hat advantage will be derived from the pauriage og bars animal among us? A com- e interior and Asiatic continents ne oe sicn. 1 extents of country with- out navigable streams or practicable roads and cut up by deep ravines; uninhabited and inter- rupted by deserts of sand, volcanic debris and salt. Through the one, trade and communica. tion are carried on expensively and slowly by wagons, horses and mules. Through the other, in addition to the same means, they are largely facilitated by the use of the camel—a powerful animal, transporting on long journeys five hun- dred pounds and more, sure-footed, independent of water, and to a certain extent of food, costing no more to keep thana mule. Of the two coun- tries Asia is much more difficult to travel over. Some idea of the value of the animal as a trahs- Porter may be formed from the fact that in “that marks the age; and especially our country, | ; ) gr the interior of America | a of ! Looking at its ‘three centuries? aid in the meantime may not} the camels prove of great utility to trade, and4 iri aasaseasneniisetnsiates statesmen isos ab notaries iaemiaeiaaiacsisiasneaasis: 1833. the ~velue - of, merchandise transported through Central Asia, to and from Orenburg on the confines of European Russie, on the backs of camels, was estimated at five millions of dol- But, itmay be said, in the progressive spirit vast exterit; and measuring the future by the we may ask—How soon? In one, two, or even contribute to the building up of the very roads in question? These are matters for seri- ous consideration, and should be examined with- out prejudice, and intelligently. At any rate, sustained as the experiment has been by gentle- ism, whose only interest in its success is the welfare of our common country, let us accord to it an impartial support. Fair play, gentlemen, for the camel experiment! The opinions of Humboldt, Marsh and Secretary Davie-are en- titled to some weight. . Tempest 1x 4 Tga-por.—Theterrible disclo- sures (in the newspapers) with reference to the alleged failure of a high disbursing government officer to pay his employees, is based on the fol- lowing circumstances: On the 31st December last the appropriation to pay the folders in the. office of the Clerk of the House of Representa- tives was exhausted, and up to the enactment of the Deficiency bill in the last hour of the late session, there was not a dollar in the House contingent fund that could be lawfully used for that purpose. Since the adjournment the dis- bursing officers of the House Clerk’s office have been industriously engaged in stating their va- rious accounts arising under bills passed before the enactment of the deficiency bill, and in pay- ing them off each in its regular turn. They very properly refused to take up such accounts and bills out of their respective order, and of course have been abused like pick-pockets by penny-a- liners and others interested in getting the money into the hands of the folders in question as early as possible. The deficiency hill will be reached in its turn probably by Monday next, and ere the close of the week we presume every person en- titled under it to a dollar from the House con- tingent fund will be duly paid off. These are “tight times’’ for the manufacturers | oC rumors from the Federal Metropolis. Hence, and hence only, arises the fact that more or less “Washington correspondents’? have built up hage wonders on this so slight foundation. PresiventiaL Aprointexts.—The Presi- dent has made the following appointments in cases where the commissions of incumbents hive expired, &c.: e Moses Bates, jr., Collector ot the Customs for the district of Plymouth, Mass. Amos Robins, do. for the district of Perth Amboy, N. J. William 8. Jackson, do. for the district of Vienna, Md. John R. Sharpstein, Postmaster at Milwau- kie, Wis. Daniel C. Brown, do. at Janesville, Wis. ‘Samuel Edwards, do. at Belfast, Me. George R. Berrell, Appraiser of Merchandise for the port of Philadelphia, Pa., vice Gideon G. Westcott, appointed Postmaster. Also, the following re-appointment : Lyndon Taylor, Surveyor of the Customs for the port of Pawcatuck, R. I. eo Hathaway, Postmaster at Eastport, le. Edgar Whidden, do. at Calais, Me. R. H. Glass, do. at Lynchburg, Va. Tue Wasutnaton Uston.—By way of ‘“‘set- ting right’’ the absurd stories with reference to the future of this journal, we have to say that Mr. Appleton is expected soon to enter the State Department as Assistant Secretary of State, for which position no other gentleman can be better qualified. Mr. Wm. A. Harris of Missouri, formerly editor of “ The Constitnu- tion,"’ published in this city, will succeed Mr. A., we presume, as editor and proprietor of the Union. Mr. Harris has been abroad as an U. S. Charge, has served in the House of Repre- sentatives of the United States, and is a writer of force and ability. As a politician, he has always been a consistent Democrat, and his pen and experience will doubtless prove great ac- quisitions to the columns of that journal. It appears to be understood that he is to mount its tripod as early as the middle of the current month. Tue Lona Bripce.—We hear that the exam- ination of the condition of the Long Bridge. instituted recently by direction of the Commis- sioner of the Public Buildings, has resulted in the conclusion that $8,000 will be the maximum Cost of its repair. We apprehend that there is quite that amount in the hands of the Commis- sioner that might legally be used to put the bridge in proper condition. It is, indeed, to be hoped that the Secretary of the Interior may realize the propriety and importance of at once directing his subordinate to prosecute this work of so very great necessity to the end of re-open- ing the communication between the North and South, over the Potomac’s waters. Tae Executive Patroxace.—It seems to be understood that the Administration have determined on the following appointments and reappointments of Collectors of Customs, which we expect to see announced officially shortly— Jease Sharp, Wilmington, Del. L. D. Starke, Camden, N. C. Stephen Willets, Little Eggharbor, N. Y. W. W. W. Wood, Vicksburg, Miss. Moritz Schaeffer, Milwaukie, Wie, W. S. Bowen, Bridgetown, N. J. Thadeus Sanford, Mobile, Ala.
