Great Eocitoment at Nauvoo—Destruction of the Printing Establishment of the Nauvoo Expositor, oi On Board Steamer ‘Osprey, une 12, 5 Mr. Eprtor :—In behalf of the Publishers of ‘the “ Nauvoo Expositor,” and for the purpose of in- forming the public, I hasten to lay before your readers and the community generally, the particu- lars of one of the most unparalleled outrages ever perpetrated in the country. ibe On Monday evening, last, a company consisting of some two or three hundred of the Nauvoo Legion, assisted by as many volunteers, armed with mus- kets, swords, pistols, Bowie-knives, &c., marched up infront of the office of the “Expositor”—entered the building by breaking open the door with a sledge-hainmer, and catered the press and all the materials, by throwing them into the street ang setting the whole on fire. : This took place between the hours of 7 and 10 P. M. The particulars are as follows:—A large and respectable portion of the citizens having become fully convinced by the most conclusive testimony. and their own observation, that the character o! Joe Smith, in conection with many of the Mormon leaders had become so base and corrupt that longer countenance would be crime. They early in are last, resolved themselves intoa new Society, styled the ‘*Reformed Mormon Church,” and appointed William Law their President. The old church party felt very uneasy aboutthe establishment of this ‘new party, and commenced a tirade of abuse and slander ies the characters and persons of those who had heretofore stood in high estimation, simply because they dared to think for themselves, and express their honest opinions. © x {The new party, having no organ threugh which tospeak, being denied the privilege of publishing any thing against Joe (however true it might be) had the only alternative left, to establish a Press of their own, or else, quietly submit to the foul and false assertions which were aoe upon them b; wholesale, as often as the ‘Nauvoo Neighbor” made its appearance. re . For the purpose, then, of establishing a free and independent press in Nauvoo, through which he might advocate equal rights to every citizen, and whereby all might speak for themselves, a com- pany ef several gentlemen, (some of whom were taeinbers of the new church, and some of no church,) formed themselves into a committee to publish the ‘* Nauvoo Expositor,” the first number of which appeared on the 7th inst, as proposed in the prospectus. ‘The next day an extra session of the City Council was called tor the purpose of adopting means and measures to bring our youthful paper to an immediate and untimely fate. The ‘* Expositor” was eagerly sought for on all hands— some had the audacity to read it in the public stieet, while others—-poor, pitiable creatures, would conceal it in their pocket, and repairto some private corner, and there peruse it. In the Council various opinions were expressed, as to the modus operandi of suppressing our odious paper, whose only offence was, telling the truth, and ex- posing to public gaze the iniquities of those who Were governing us with a heart of steel and a rod of iron. Some mache the inset of passing an ordinance in relation to libels, jut Joe, and Hi- ram, (Joe’s brother,) raved and swore away with a vengeance, declaring it anuisance, which should be demolished on the spot, together with the pro- perty of all concerned in its publication, if they made any resistance or defence. One liberal coun- cilman thought they should notify, but this wasob- jected to, the ordinance was id, the orders given, and the troops presented themselves, as full of fight as old Joe is of folly. * ‘The excitement here became tremendous. Sur- rounded on all sides by a rathless and merciless gang of ruffiane, and being few in number our- selves, we knew not what to do. Our teelin, were too deeply wounded for utterance—already insulted-beyond endurance, we must now submit to the forfeiture of our rights to the mercy of a mob, and that under sanction of law. We con- cluded to make no resistance. When they had marshaled their troops before the office, F. M. Hig- bee and myself, in behalf of the publishers, for- bade theirentering the premises or laying hands onthe press. They paid no regard to our com- mands, but marched up stairs, broke open the door, entered the office, and demolished the press— threw out thetables, etands, desks, &c., and scat- tered the ‘ype in all directions. After clearing out the office, they piled up the combustible materials, and set them on fire, and burnt them to ashes, while the multitude made the air riug with their hideous yella, = gon This constitutes the eda alee this disgraceful and most outrageous affair. ‘e have given a sim- ple statement of the factsas they took place, with- out the aid of tancy or fiction, and shail conclude this sketch by stating to the public that this is but a specimen of the injustice that is meted outto those whose ambition soars higher than to obey the dic- twm of sucha tyrannical wretch as Joe Smith—a man notorious for villainy—a man whose crimes are too dark to be recorded, whose character is id with deeds that would blacken the bottom- ‘We mean all we gay in relation to this monster. Facts have recently been developed which fully substantiate the position. It is a fact too well known to be disputed or denied, that Joe did employ Rockwell and others to shoot ex-Gov- ernor Boggs, of Missouri, and by J. H. Jackson’s statement, tried to hire him to go to Missouri and rescue Rockwell, and perpetrate the same diabol cal deed, if he had an Cringe Dr. R. D. Fos- ter has made affidavit also, which is now on file, that he oflered him $300 to pay his expenses in go- ing to Missouri and shooting Boggs, stating, “it was the will of God, and must be done,” and would reward him handsomely. It is a lameatable fact, that he has ensnared scores of credulous and superstitious females (both married and single,) in his seductive net, under pretence of Divine authority, thereby involving fa- milies and individuals in disgrace and infamy, and after Brentying his most hellish lust, has, to clear himself, thrown the lie upon them, adding the blackest insult to the foulest injury. It isa fact, generally known, that he has been prominently engaged in the manufacture of bogus money and counterfeiting. It is a fact, he now stands indicted before the eee Circuit Court, for perjury, fornication,and adultery. It is a fact that he has used his office and the as- sumed power of the City Charter, in protectin; ee shielding fugitives from justice, charged with My Lergcrrghe sie f tisafact that he lives upon the spoils of his dupes in splendor, while thousands are in a state of starvation. And last though not least, it is a fact, that he has cappea the climax of his outrages by authorizing the destruction of a public press. Not satisfied with personal injury, he resorts to open contempt and violation of Gne ot the most sacred features of American institutions—the liberty of the press. We repeat it, history affords no parallel to the jni- quities and enormities of this tyrant who, dressed in a little brief authority, perpetrates deeds, at which Heaven weeps and human nature falls back ashamed of her own depravity. In this our situation—robbed of our property— stripped of our rights, and outraged on every hand we present our case before a free and enlightene public, leaving it with them to say how long we shall be subjected to a sacrifice of our nearest and dearest rights at the shrine of unhallowed ambi- tion. Respectfully, &c., Cuartas A. Foster. Mormon Discrosunes.—Another of Joe Smith’s tools has been ‘* confessing,” in the Warsaw Sig- nal. He signs himself J. H. Jackson, and we give below a part of his published epistle PY, degrees, I entwined myself completely into his (Joe’s) confidence. I seemed ready to perform whatever I was commanded, and, to the world, kept up the appearance that I was in reality what I seemed to be. I succeeded in my object—eve; i} every plan, every secret movement of the vil- laineus system by which Joe deludes and strips his followers, was made known to me; and before 40d I say, that a more detestable miscreant treads not the earth. Steeped in blood and crime, guilty by his own admissions, of almost every act of wiekedness that the machinations of hell can sug- gest to mortal man, he stands before the world, not only asthe vicegerent of the Devil, but even as the 1 of his Satanic Majesty, Bat the limits of this communication will not allowome to particularize ; suffice it to say, that Joe disclosed to me, while in his confidence, that he did send O. P. Rockwell to Missouri to assassinate Governor Boggs. He stated, too, the particulars. 1 was gent on the mission to liberate him, after he had been taken. I know all the facts in relation to this affair, and will soon disclose them to the world. After Rockwell had returned, Joe offered me $3000, if I would do what Rockwell had failed to do, to wit: take the life of Boggs; 1 consented; I visited Missouri, for the purpose of keeping up * appearances with him, and on my return excused myself for not having done, what I would have ‘shrunk with horror from doing, by telling him that Boggs was not at home. A Rusaway Satnt.—We copy from the defunct NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 26, 1844. at present Nauvoo eg pase the following adver- tigement.

The following is from the Warsaw Signal of Wednesday :— Furruer Particutars ¥rom Navvoo.—We have conversed with a gentleman of undoubted veracity, who was in Nauvoo, and present in th: council room, at the time the ordinance to destroy the Expositor press was under consideration; and from him, we received the following items from the ‘speeches of Joe and Hiram Smith. Joe became very much excited in the course of his speecn, and appeared wrathy at his own fol- lowers, because of their not entering into his schemes with sufficient zeal. In giving vent to his feelings he used the following language: ‘If you (the people of Nauvoo,) will not stick by me, and wade to ee knees in blood for my sake, you may go to hell and be damned, and I will go and build another City!!! Hiram directed his fire against the Press, and in relation to the editor of this paper, he made use of the following page : “We hadjbettersend a mes- sage to long-nosed_ Sharp, that if he does not look out, he might be visited with a pinch of snuff, that will make him sneeze.” At this burst of oratory the Council were convulsed with laughter. In relation to our press, he said, “If any person would go to Wareaw, boldly, indaylight,and break the press of the Signal Office, with a sledge ham- mer, he would bear him out in it, if it cost himhis farm. He could only be taken with a warrant, at any, rate, and what good will that do?” ‘hese extracts will show, the Rulers of Nauvoo have doffed their saintly robes, and have come out in their true characters of hellish fiends. Yes! Hi- ram, Joe, &c., are as truly Devils, as though they had served an apprenticeship of half eternity in the Infernal Pit. Baltimore.

Being a sojourner here for a few days, with nothing 1n particular to occupy my attention, I can- not pass the time more agreeably than scribbling a few lines to you while enjoying some .of the good things of this admirable and still justly celebrated hotel, notwithstanding the recent loss of old Na- poleon, that prince of hotel-keepers, a model for some people in the line, we could mention, not far from you, who sometimes get almost tov large for their “breeches.” Ihave witnessed two political mass meetings here. That of the Polkites was both numerous and enthusiastic, and from the signs, the fate of coonery is sealed, as far as the city and county of Baltimore is concerned. The Tyler men seem at last to understand their true position, having selected the old Mud Theatre (now dignified with the name of Odeon,) for their place of meeting, and if the former managerscould ave produced a succession of farces equal to that got up on this occasion by the Tyler men and ad- juncts, tlteir success would have been overwhelm- ing. {t was one of the most arnusing scenes to a mere “looker on in Vienna” ever witnessed. _ There is one of the most remarkable curiosities in the way of dwarf or small old man, now ex- hibiting at the Museum, that ‘‘goes ahead” of any thing in that way ever brought out in this country Ishould think he was about 25 years old; inches high, and weighs 26 pounds, official Museum weight and measure. Our old friend, Major Stevens, would make about three “sich,” and as far as recollection and eye serves me, he is shorter than Tom Thumb, but perhaps a little stouter, He is evidently a man—his every look shows it, and I could never yet divest myselt of the belief that Tom Thumb, who is now humbug- ing John Bull so splendidly, was got up for the occasion, and was not certainly over five or six years old. He had every appearance of a mere child, a remarkable one, no doubt, but still a child, taught, parrot-like, to do certain things. This Vir- ginian dwarf, Col. Chaffin, is shrewd and sensible considering his sdventanee of education, &c., which have been slight. He has never been from home but once before in his life, his friends ob- jecting, until very recently, to give their consent to his exhibition. He was asked by some person where or why he had kept himself hid all this time? The Col. eee nae waited until they had brought out all their little chaps; now he had taken the field to smother the whele of them. He is on his way north, and, if properly managed, will create a sensation among curiosity-mongers your way. Yours truly, Cargo... Bridgeport. [Correspondence of the New York Herald.} Bripegrort, June 24th, 1844. Elopement in High Life—Great Locofoco Ratifica- tion Meeting—Great changes in Politics—Case of Gen. Edwards §& Son. Dear Sir :— Your valuable journal is as it always has been, highly prized and much admired by all the intelli- gent and respectable citizensof this city. Many ot them would prefer to go without their dinners rath- er than be prevented from culling the sweets which your truly priceless journal affords. But sir, I regret that you are so unfortunate as not to have a regular correspondent in this city, as there are many things which transpire in this place and vicinity, that would be highly entertaining to many of your readers, and assist you in your laud- able efforts to reclaim and moralize those who have strayed into wrong and forbidden paths. Of late, among the many important events that have occurred in this city, was anelopement,which took place last week. the circumstances’ of the case, as nearly as they can be arrived at, are these: The faithful and resolute swain had for some time been paying his most devoted addresses to the daughter of a wealthy inhabitant of this city, and very much to his dissatisfaction, inasmuch as he, the swain, was a poor mechanic, und earned his daily bread by sweating over the “pads.” The suit had been in progress about three years, and in the meantime he had been forbid coming into pa’s presence—besides having been many times turned out of papa’s house. Yet the emotion of love war go powertul that all these impediments could not in the least hinder or obstruct its ever onward course. The fair damsel had been kept in close confine- ment by her eam for months, in order to con- quer the inordinate desire she had for the company of Mr. N. An opportunity presenting itself, she escaped from her imprisonment, and fled to the idol of her heart with such rapidity, that in avery few moments they were on their way to your Beate, where they were annexed in due form and solem- nity. The father of the fair one has always been o d to annexation, but { have no doubt that he will ratily the treaty made between them ere long. The Locos have had a very enthusiastic meeting here. John Colton Smith, Jr., Esq., and the Hon. Samuel Simons, M. D., M. C., rerales a large and patriotic audience with their brilliant wit and re- nowned eloquence. _ By the wey there have been some changesin po- litical affairs lately. The venerable and beloved Gen. Thos. Edwards of this place,who has for many years been a prominent member of the locofoco party, and who was a candidate tor Congress a few years since, has declared his intentions to support Clay and Frelinghuysen. He intends to give his reasons next week through the columns of the Standard, a whig paper, published in this city, through the in- fluence of which he was convinced of the error of his ways. I expect there willbe some disclosures of party intrigues and party dishonesty, and | should not wonder if this affected very much the KA gh ee ial contest throughout the State. Gen. E. is a man of extensive influence, and well known in the State, and can do mueh for the part of his choice, being intimately connected with many of the most respectable and influential fami- lies of this and other states. Alfred Edwards, son of the General, heretofore known as a successful locofoco orator, has followed in the footsteps of his illustrious father, and 1s now on a tour through the prinbipal towns in the State, emblazouing forth the merits of Clay and Frelinghuysen. The ta- lents of these gentlemen will add much to the are success of the whig party in the whole State. With the most sincere regards, 1 am your friend and constant reader.4 Morr Anon. ‘Albany. [Correspondence,nf the Herald.} Axzany, June 24, 1844. Public Hotels—Delavan House—Townsend House— Bement’s American Hotel—Stanwix Hall—City Hotel— Mansion House, §c.—Erection of Church- es—Candidates for Governor—Weed, Hughes, Fillmore, Bouck— Success of the Whigs predicted —Continual War between the two sections of the Town—A Hospital—Abuse of President Tyler by his Professed Friends. Dear Sin— Amidst the general prosperity which now #0 abundantly prevails throughout the country, it is gratitying to witness the fact that the capitalists, merchants, mechanics, laborers, and all others iw Albany participate very extensively. Every person | who is disposed to industry, need epend no idle hours here. It was never known to be more ac- tive in the business of building. Churches, hotels, mblic hospitals, are being erected by means of pub- fie and private liberality, to an extent unsurpassed by any city of our size im the country. Mr. Delavan, the well known Papperanee pi neer, is now laying the foundation of the ‘De! van House,” at the corner of Broadway and Steu- ben street, which is designed to eclipse every thing else in the ci:y in its size, magnificence, con- venience, and popularity. No expense is to be spared in its construction, as the owner is abund- antly able to carry out any project of splendor which may be devised. 4 Mr. John Townsend is also erecting the Towns- end House, on the site of old Montgomery Hall, in Market street, which is designed also fora large and commodioushotel; but not to be conducted exclusively upon temperance principles. Bement’s American Hotel, located very conspi- cuously in State street, which has been thoroughly repaired and fewhy furnished, will, under the con- stant supervision of Bement’s eagle eye, become one of the most popular establishments in the United States. | i) Stanwix Hall, recently converted into a hotel by Messrs. Wheeler & Bromley, opens for public tavor, upon a scale of elegance,comfort and convenience, which will render it ene of the most attractive places for citizens or travellers. Both the proprie- tors being western men—Mr. Wheeler from Ro- chester, and Mr. Bromley from Syracuse—will naturally bring to the Halla large portion of the passengers from that region of our State. Congress Hall, under the direction of the vigilant and accommodating Landon, will always retain its elevated position amongst the hotels in this Union. The City Hotel, by Mr. Foster, and the Mansion House by Mr. Lathsopgsare also worthy of public support. : Several churches are also in progress of erection, and will be completed during the present season—a Presbyterian, a Methodist, a German Catholic, a Unitarian, a Sailor’s Bethel, are all in the course of completion. So you see, churches increase with us about as fast as taverns. Political matters are not yet suffered to be much exposed to the public eye. Both parties are attempt- ing to dodge each other. Neither dare show their hands. As the great result depends upon this State, the desperate politicians are now more deeply in the device of stratagem than in 1840. The leaders of the whig party sensibly feel the effect of Weed’s pertinacious adherence to Bishop Hughes, but they dare not venture to assail him any more fiercely at present, than the N. Y. American and Albany Ad- vertiser have done. It is necessary to stifle further animadversions until after the election. Weed, Seward, and Hughes, know their own strength, but do not choose to exercise it until after the great Presidential question ia settled. Jt is now pretty generally conceded that. Mr. Fillmore, of Buflalo, will be the whig candidate for Governor, notwithstanding the crusty note of declension which he sent to Weed, just after the gomination of the Rev. Mr. Frelinghuysen. And I unagine he will succeed in obtaining as_ full a vote as any other gentleman of his party. He has been a session or two in the State Legislature, and one term in the House of Representatives at Washing- ton. His talents are highly respectable, but are not considered of a higher order than will conform to strict party discipline. ‘The western part of the State will give him a good vote. | Governor Bouck will be nominated by the con- servatives, and a third candidate will be brought into the field by the radical locofocos. They have not yet decided upon their man. Hoffman, Young, or little Johnny Porter,would be elated with the in- vitation, if for no other purpose than breaking the aristocratic combination of Croswell, Corning & Co., which is becoming more intolerable every day. If a reconciliation is not speedily eflected between the old hunkers and barn burners, we shall have three candidates for Governor, which bydividing the democratic party, will ensure the success of the whig nominee. The internal war between the two sections of the Democratic party, is carried on with much malignity of feeling, between Croswell of the Argus, and Cassidy of the Atlas. Croswell being state printer, and thereby coining something like thirty thousand a year, adheres to the bank and conservative interest with the tenacity of a sheep tick ; being shrewd, bold, and uncompromising Cassidy equally persevering to be state-printer, and writhing under the vindictive and revengeful con- duct of Corning and Bouck in removing him as State Librarian, embraces every opportunity to give vent to his outraged feelings, by public attacks in the columus of the Atlas, upon those and others of like description The project of erecting a City Hospital has en- grossed the attention of the clergy, doctors, and several of our first citizens A public meeting has been held, and a considerable anxiety manifested o erect a hospital. A charity of this description was never more needed, and it is earnestly hoped that the object may be accomplished. But I do not believe that a single individual among those who signed the first public appeal through the pa- pers, will contribute a single penny. ; {t is reported very currently, that President Tyler will soon remove from office those who hold places under the U.S. Government in this city. As he is a candidate for the presidency, no person can attach to him any blame for fortifying himself against his enemies. It is well known here, that Croswell, Wasson, Gallup, Mahen, Seymour and Perry, are holding lucrative offices under Presi dent T ler, but are loudly declaiming against him, every day. Has the President no friend to advise him of such disgraceful conduct? Why hold of fice under an administration which they ridicule and reproach continually? I know if President Tyler was made acquainted with the conduct of certain men here, he would not retain them in of fice a single hour. They are hypocrites to him, of the most Judasite character. Here is a specimen of their devotion to the administration. Short after the news of the nomination of Polk and Dai- las was received at Albany, a call for a Democratic meeting of response was signed by Marcy (who wanted, from the President, the nomination of U. 8. Judge), and Croswell, Perry, Wasson W&c., and at that meeting the following resolution was adop ted without the disapproval of a single one of the government office-holders in this city. Here it is, as published in the Argus, which only, a day or two previous, contained by “authority,” the post of- ice letters, for which it received government pay :— Resolved, Thot in the open attitude of hostility in which John Tyler, the other Presdential Candidate of federalism, is now arrayed against the democratic party, we see the apprepriate Consummation of a long career of ill-concealed hostility to, and corrupt intrigue against the integrity and principles of that party, &c. If Twas bal man, and shoald thus stigmatize and villify the President of this nation, and still obtain thousands of dollars yey from the indal- gence of that officer, I should expect to be visited swiltly with his just indignation. [ask again, has President Tylerj.no person in Albany, honest enough to infown him of the daily conduct of these men? Thy ought either to be represented to him as they are, or a government agent should be sent here, to ascertain the facts as they exist.

A Carp —Mr. Coo.ty—Mr. Guippon-— On re- turning from a recent excursion to the West, I find that Mr. George R. Gliddon and the editors of the New World have been amusing the public with ex- aggerated and erroneous accounts of an unpleasant rencontre which occurred between Mr. Gliddon and myselt, on the day previous to my leaving the city. It is now nearly two years since these men com- menced their unprovoked and libellous attacks upon me; which they have continued up to this time, with singular bitterness—though I have never given either of them the slightest provocation to abuse me ; and, until lately, I have weated the whole mat- ter with contempt. “Circumstances have, however, transpired recently, which seem to render it neces- sary for me to give a brief statementot facts touch- i My acquaintance with Mr. Gliddon, that ail who may feel an interest in the matter, may the more readily uncerstand aud appreciate the diflerences between us. _ My first acquaintance with Mr. Gliddon occurred in the winter of 1840, at the Cataracts of the Nile. On my arrival there, Mr. Gliddon, then U. 8. Con- sul for Cairo, being on an excursion in Upper Egypt, and, at that time, at the Cataracts, came onboard of my boat, and tendered to me and my companions such civilities as circumstances ren- dered available. We met him subsequently, seve- ral times, in passing down the Nile ; and his atten- tions (consisting of little or nothing more than his accompanying us on some excursions among the ruins,—which all, including Mr. Gliddon, as well as ourselves, were desirous to make,) were courte- ously returned. When finally we parted with him, at Thebes, it was upon terms of apparent cordiali- ty; though, it would seem from his published de- clarations, on his second visit to this country, that he was—even in Egypt—satisfied that Mr. Cooley was not a gentleman. ‘For my endurance of his company,” says Mr. Gliddon, ** even on the sandy beach at Aswan, or amidst the ruins of Elethyas, Edfoo, or Thebes, Mr. Cooley was indebted sole- ly to my respect for the parties he was with.””* Thad, certainly, very respectable and agreeable companions ; but neither they nor myselt obtruded on the retirement of Mr. Gliddon. ‘The advances were, in every instance, made by himself; and, | may say, that it would not, probably, have occa- sioned any serious amount of grief, on our part, even had Mr. Gliddon stilted himself upon the dig- nity of his “‘officialstation,” and not noticed us at all’ For one, however oflensive might have been my company to Mr. Gliddon, 1 had, certainly, full as much of his society as! desired—it was no rari- ty—nor, at that time, considered by either my companions or myself, any gzeat de} y. Heac- ted, however, with apparent sincerity, and we were by no means disposed to make a discourteous re- turn for his civilities. I endeavored to treat him with politeness while in Egypt; and when about to publish my book on that country, I inserted the following complimentary paragraph of Mr. Glid don, in grateful remembrance of our acquaintance “We were,” (on our arrival at the cataracts of the Nile,) “immediately waited upon by George K. Gliddon, Esq., Consul, of the United States, who quESIY Radel ereet us his services in any way they might be required. We found him. and his com- anion, another English gentleman, intelligent, at- fable, and very obliging. We met them alter- wards, at Thebes and Edfoo, and shall long retain a pleasing recollection of their urbanity and polite attention.”"+ ¢ This notice of Mr. Gliddon, however, seems to have greatly displeased him—tor, after concocting a labored review ot ‘The American in Egypt,” from a copy of that book which he dishonorably obtained in advance of its publication—a review so deeply loaded with personal abuse and splenetic puerilities, that no journal in New York or Phila- delphia, except the New World, would take the responsibility of publishing it—he renewed his at- tack upon me ‘in pamphlet form,” with the de- clared determination to ** pesrroy ‘The American in Egypt,’ and its author.” In this pamphlet, en- titled, ‘* Appendix to the American in Egypt,” Mr Gliddon, alluding to the complimentary notice of him quoted above, (which comprises, I believe, the only paragraph wherein the illustrious name of Gliddon is mentioned in my book,) says; “ Mr. Caviey apparently supposes that the co with which he his bespattered me, for common ci vilities, extended to his party, are to neutralize any feelings of resentment with which I might here, in America, regard his contemptible defamations of my father; and although intended as deprecatory of my feelings, yet, coming from Mr. Cooley, are to me offensive ™. i 1 had certainly no desire to offend Mr. Gliddon— and, although at the time I wrote the (to him) of- tensive paragraph, quoted above, I was aware of certain facts, touching his career in Egypt, which were in no wise calculated to heighten my esteem for him—yet, as a simple matter of justice, and actuated by no improper motive, I did mention his name in my book ; but I beg the reader to bear in toind that, tothe best of my recollection, the name of Gliddon appears on no other page of “The American in Egypt Tam, nevertheless, charged by Mr. Gliddon with having “seen fit to devote uot (ess than five hundred and seventy lines, equivalent to between eighteen and nineteen royal octavo ges to defsmations of his father, John Gliddon, U.S. Consul in Egypt, or other of his own per- sonal friends, connected in various ways with the consulate in that country.” (a) ‘ I do not intend to deny that, in humorously sketching the phases of Egyptian society which came under my observation, while travelling in that country, | had in view certain rather conspicu- ous—not to say ridiculous—characters whom 1 found there ; but what were precisely the relations of those individuals with Mr. George RK. Gliddon, or how justly the facetious character of the Egyptian humbugs, a8 delineated in my book, may have fitted him or “his own personal friends,” is not now incumbent om me to show, It is sufficient to say, that, 10 the best of my recollection, the name of Gliddon is no where in my book on Egypt, with disrespect. It, however, Mr. Giiddon will assume to himself and “ per- sonal friends” more of that work, as having special reter- ence to them, than what, apparently, belongs to them, it is certainly no affair of mine. The responsibility, in that case, 18 with himsel{—for nothing of the ki thrust upon him, But, if those characters to which he so savage: ly alludes in his pamphist, be drawn “so true to the lite,” an to be easily recognized as those of “ his father and p sonal friends,” he need not give himself much trouble to vindicate their characters in this community ; and, if they be not perfect pictures of his “ personal friends,” it would be ditticult to determine what necessity there was for his attempting to vindicate them at He has, however, com igainst me very ferociously —and in his vindice- tory effusion, declares that, * and,'il sincejthe publicatior it be a work of supererogation, on his part, to place upon public record the petulant vagaries of an upstart ; to re- cul the petty shifts of an itinerant miser—to unmask the insidious insipidities of a would-t eauthor—or to refute the falsehoods of a literary abortion—it will be allowed that deed is none of his seeking, but has been fastened on him, as the only course within the letter of American la whereby a poltrocn can reccive chastisement from those who would have gladly vindicated their honor by means, to them far morejsatisfactory.” (6) ‘ Again, Mr. Gliddon says ‘grieved that, not having been gilted with prophetic vision, I neglected t apply. it fths corbash] in the Thebaid, to Mr. Cooley himself ; for may never have such an eligible chance again.” (c) Probably not—thongh I am not aware that Mr. Gliddon ever had any very eligible chance” for achieving an ki ever, discourses mor res the public tha { my departure from that ail official character, — ire—and Mr. Cooley pasquinads in ‘ Arabia fad hung 8‘ cow-skin should not have Petrea and Palestine, before he on thore reereant limbs !"” (a). Strange what imminent dangers travellers sometimes pass harmlessly through | Nothing could have been more remote from my mind, than the idea that Mr. Glid- don entertuined thoughts of cowhiding me in Egypt ‘Though, a little farther onfin his pamphlet, he declares, that, if he do not now apply o horse-whip to Mr Coo- ley’s shoulders, it ia solely because, in a community amongat which we are both residing, the satisfaction he should derive from a physical expression of his obliga- Teen to Mr. Cooley, might prove more expensive than the pleasure is worth.” (e) A very judicious calcula. tion, that, no doubt ! : Having’ “vindicated the character of his father a personal friends,” with thirty or forty octavo pages of vi {uperntive abuse of me, of which the above are fair speci- mens, Mr, Gliddon tenders his thanks and apologies to Mr. Park Benjamin, (to whom he, very properly, dedica- ted the “Appendix tothe American in Egypt,”) and winds up with the following EPISTLE. Fraxxuin Hor Phila Iphia, August 12, To James Bwrne Coovry, —_ Author of “The American in Egypt.” Care of Messrs. D. Appleton & Co., 200 Broadway, New York. Sin:—Your interesting miscellany has been in my pos- session since the 10th of July, but, until I had ascertained that other copies were in circulation, I deemed it expe- dient to remain silent. I have now the honor of handing you an “Apendi: which I have bad printed in a form a in order that it might be bound wil Egypt,” and thus forwarded to the a tian Society,” at Cairo, where it willbe very accept and will be carefully preserved. It only remains for me to add, that your work you to be a blackguard, and | have branded you Epistolary decorum requires that I should Sir, your most obedient servant, GEORGE R. GLIDDON. Mr. Gliddon, though a foreigner, who—an he says :— “ never having forfeited, and never intended to renounce his birthright as a native Knglishman,for his ellegience myself— 10 consider an Ameri- ite safe asa British subject” (f) seems, neverth it all right to uasail, in any manner he chooses can Citizen—and he, no doubt, thought himself q' in this instance ;—ior he informs the readers ot hi catory effort that, Mr Cooley's fractiousne fined to paper pellets. Innate cowardice ix a guaranty for his never resorting to a different jestation of his vi- cious, theugh innocuous waspisbuess.” ( #-Mr,Gliddon is quite right if he supposes me not to be what is called a" tighting character ;”— though after the provecations he has thrown in my teeth, the wonder has generally been that he had not been attacked long ago. T have, however, never sought an interview with him,— on any occasion—and, although or nearly two year, he has, in his itinerant occupation through the United States attempted to vilily and culumniate my character, to the extent of his “feeble ubiities,” [have suffered him to proceed with his unpriucipled sbuse, unnoticed. Imight ave still permitted fies to goon unmolested, had he not accidentally crossed my path—for, aside trom the ephe- meral attention he has attracted in this country, | consi- der Mr, Gliddon’s standing beneath contempt. But, in an evil hour, we did, by the merest chance in the world, come in colusion—and there can be no doubt that the scented locks and painted moustache of the “ cultivatea Egyptian ,” as he 1 called by bis admirers, did get a good deal tumbled, I gave him a “ physical expression of my obligations” to him. Hie affidavit, however, detailing the circumstances of that affair, so far as he endeavors to implicate my iriends, the Messrs. Appleton, as being par- ties with me in ussauiting Mr Gliddon, ix entirely false He is much indebted to them tor so easily alipping through y fingers. ‘No one, however, can regret more than myself the cir- cumstances which, inthe estimation of at Ieust, a part of this community, required the notice I have reluctantly taken of Mr. Giiddon. Indeed, I may ay that [ regret having ever met him in this country—and, until the hos- ule rencounter which occurred on the 16th ult, [ had net seen him since we parted, with apparent friendship, on the banks of the Nile. ‘An apology is, perhape, due to this community for an infraction of its regulations and laws, which none can more justly appreciate and admire than myself, For the course | have taken with Mr Gliddon, I shall attempt no justification, nor offer any excuse, except the unprovok ed and unmerited abuse wantonly heaped upon me and my friends, tor a long time, by him and his condyuto: "Those who will take the trouble to peruse Mr. Glid don’s pamphlet, will doubtless, coincide with the opinion t 8 own and his father’s personal frien to whom ubmitted the disgraceful production, ‘the Appendix to the American in Egypt,” in manuseript, and who, with one accord, endeavored to dissuade him from the suicidal course he meditated. (h.) His grand fundamental error was in not taking the ad. vice of his triends, But Mr. Gliddon—like many others ef his adventurous country men, similarly circumstanced —was desirous to bring himselt,at a bound, conspicuous: ly before the public. Iie, at that time, contemplated de- livering a course of itinerant lectzres in the United States, in which he was to astonish the new world with the (mysteries he professed to have unveiled sosing a trumpeted twenty-one years residenee in Egypt. He, therefore, deemed it essential to the success of his ca- reer in America, to attempt to dazzle at once—to impress the public mind in advance, strongly in favor of his aprightly parts. He went, therefore, to press—and he has already gathered some portion of the fruits of his la- bors. He reposes on his laurels, My only wish is, now to disabuse the public mind in regard to my connection with him, Mr, Gliddon amiably otwerves in his pamphlet, that: “our relative positions have been, and, so far as may depend on him, will remain perfectly distinct ; for possible affluence will never raise Mr. Cooley to the so- cial standing of a gentleman.” (i) Mr. Gliddon need not have any alarm on this head ; for, if a course of conduct, such as has distinguished his Career in both hemispheres, is indispensibly requisite to the qualifications of a gentie- man, I have come tu the conclusion never to become one. Ihave no ambition to break through the lofty barrier, which distinguishes his “social position,” neither do I envy those wno admire him, the eclat and advantage that are likely to accrue from the association. All I crave in the premises is, that truth may prevail—that circumstan- ces, as they actually occur, may be fairly stated.
