Crittenden’s Specch in Reply—He Will Not Accept the Presidential Nomination— WM) Ald in Electing a Good Man—Thinks all Agitation Should Cease, and the People be Allowed to Ponder and Think—Recep- tion of the Delegation at the St. Nicholas Hotel, &., &e. Yesterday a delegation from the Whig General Commit- ‘tee of 1858 presented an address to the Hon. John J. Crit- tenden, who is at present sojourning at the St. Nicholas Hotel, preparatory to his departure for Washington to resume his Senatorial labors. ‘The “Whig Delegation,” which numbered some thirty Gentlemen, met at three o'clock at Thorp’s Hotel, Broad way, and proceeded to the St. Nicholas Hotel, on arriving @ which Mr, Crittenden was introduced to the delegation. “Mr. W. T. Jennives then read the following address from the representatives of the democratic whigs of the ity and county of New York:— Mx. Joun J. Crear vecgonaytacoond ame ae one appear before you to-day as representatives 0 | ‘mocratic whigh of the city and hear 3 of New York, oho ishing the memory, the fame and the immortal princi ples of our former leader, at once your fellow statesman, ‘our compeer and your friend, Henry Clay, and recogniz- Jog io you the clements of a social and political bearing near akin to his, and dnding you occupying 4 position in the affairs of our national government, second to few if rivalled by apy in point of merit and worth as a conserva- tive whig and national statesman, coming down to us from. the past, full of laurels green, from the affairs of State. We oa sought this interview to welcome you toour ity, and extend to you the hearty good will and warm congra- tulations of the Oli Guard, froin whom we are proud to derive our origin. We tender to you on this occasion no Danquet—save that of our warm and devoted hearts to the ciples you advocate and whose country you honor. le offer you no obiation, save that which is dictated by the highest motive of man, the free-will offering of a gone- 20us and patriotic constitaency of New Yorkers, who have wot yet bowed their knee to the Baal of Northern jarity to the disfranchising or discomOture of our reihren in whatever quarter of our Union their social and political lot may be cast. We have, sir, many of us ‘at least, been for years past waiting the retura of that ‘ume when, amid the confusion and wreck of the con- troiling elements of ibe political parties now endeavoring to guide and direct our country in ber triumphant march Sbrough the battle of time, to see a halt, when at least the thinkivg men of our day might see the need and fool the importance of thwarting the covtrolling dynasties that ow rule in power, and bring back the affairs of State to the platform and guidance of the old whig party, under whatever name it may be known, or whatever auspices organized. We have watched with great interest the moving of the waters of political strife a3 manifested by what now may be termed the democratic party Soutn, and the republican party North—the one epreading its vui- ture wings over our whole country, facing every suit dealt in the political shuttle, and grasping at everything, North ‘and South, tbat shail give them the least prestige of power on the one band, and the so-called republican party, pro- fersmg to keep step to the “music of the Union. a the same time with their firebrands of section- aliem provoking one portion of our confederacy ‘aguivst the other. We, the old line Harry Clay whigs, with our “tlag, though’ torn, still flying,” are looking about us,and reading in the not distant future that sure “good time coming,” when we can again come back to the first principles of our love, when we can with you or some oLe ob whom we can rely with ay much cout dence—again go forth to battle with truo elements of power and success—when we can again, in wigwam and cottage, in Lown -bouse abd palace , discuss what coustitates: a State. We are, sir, upon the eve of another election in our city. When that'shail have passed we are determined organise a truc and devoted party, knowing no locality fave one, and tliat our country—no destiny save the uni- versal triumph of American industry and American law— and, guided by the ustory of the past, plant our feet irmly upon the platform of truth and humanity, and with the beip the God ofour fathers maintain them till we conquer in the right, We believe, sir, that the time has now come when the couservative ten of the country should arouse and Vetake themselves to @ masterly activity for the establish- ment of ua unbrokew system of national and juternational Jaw, protecting our rights at home and abroad; when we ebould with such protection be ever able with a pro- perly organized finance #0 to administer the affairs of the Slate as wo bid deflance to any arm of power that hereafter may atempt w override our commerce or aifectour nacional honor. We have with us, sir, the Execu- tuve Committee from the ** Ashlanders’ Assoc.atien ,”’ formed to commemorate the man whose home bas given them their name, and whose fortune in life was tbeirs, and though dead, ver coased to perpetuate tue “ me. mory of departed worth,” We have among us men from the mavy waiks and avocations of life which crowd mar deneely populated city, all interested in twe future advancement of the three great pursuits that make usa great and poweful natioo—agricuiture, manufacture and commerce. Are you ready to take our vanguard gbt our batties ia infancy, and bear our laurels in age A host is belimd. Our Object is to ceutralize our powe and concentrate our action, that we may in the end per petuate our caueo. We wish you a safe journey from ti to your more immediate Held of action, and tbat you may be biessed with your health and courage to baule w: your compeers iv sustaining the honor of your calling, and that we may Sg meet to rejoice in the triumph of our cauec. .

The bonorable gentleman listened attentively to each address,and paid marked attention to the sentimon's et pressed, After & pause of a few moments be turned to the delegation, and addressed them as follows — Mr. Chairman and Gentiomea—tI would have you be Heve, in the dret pinee, that came vo this city upon no poltival migsion oF for ho poitical purpose, T came: b with bo other motive that whic is afforde tone little private business to Washington, 1 expectet exch welcome as ths, a* That not and Phave not ap preciated myself go highly. 1 thank you cordially ‘with all my heart for the welcume witel you bave the been pleased to give me, itis an honor winch T dit Jook for, and it is therefore more Welcome and more @ tying my heart, Gentlemen, both these aidresse which I have had the honor us receive, breathe the sem principles and the same sentiments, They are my prin ciples and they are my sentiments. ‘Trained in tiem fo a long course of years, they are deoply graven ia my heart, and | have always @ndeavored to suetaia them ‘with My bumbie exertions on all occas ons. I have Know) no change in aby One principle or im any feehng upon t subject. The whig party was a glorious party, aod ev enemies, in ite weakness, acknowledge it to have been such and when it was the rival of the democratic party aul contended against it far power and for triumph, it ‘was neutral, perbaps, in the course of party wart. and it ie yet destined, hope and trust, in principle, in body and soul, jt notin name, to a glorious resurrection, for ihe ‘of Our common country. AS has been well remark = the mare CA has 118 plattorm, and object w sought to fulilt was the good fof the country.

[ do not come before you, my friends, to make any political addrees whatever, and I thank you for your very kind and ¢ordial reception. You ask me in one of these addresses if T will take the vanj and fight this battie of battles of the great patriotic cause which you all espouse. I thank you for the compliment; but I answer you, gentle- mmen, no—I cannot assume any such leadership. [ am willing to serve witb you; I will endeavor to do my duty as TI have done it heretofore, am- bition” now is to be, as I have said several times before, a patriot rather than @ partisan, and to give to my country that advice which moderation and ex perience engender, Jam now grown to be an old man, and 1am content to serve my country as I have done. (Applause.) I om content with the honor I have received und I beg You, my friends, not to misunderstand me. am hot a candidate for the Presideniship. I sometimes seo my name treated by the pubhe press, and myself spoken of as a candidate for the Presidency, and I never see it without regret. 1am no candidate tor President, nor do lever expect to be. Isball certainly never ask it; for my mind there is something in it of great and weighty re- sponsibility, more to be feared than to be toved. I wish to be a compatriot and co-operator with you in all your ex. ertions, but I do not desire to be @ candidate, and I shall never ask for it—that is certain. All that I fear, my friends, is that the honor and kindnees which you have evinced towards me on this occasion may lead to the idea that there 18 some political design or purpose up- on my part. Be you my witnesses that there is not;and, so help me God, you testify nothing but tno truth, Let those who please ask for it. 1am no seeker for it, No ambition of that sort has ever yet disturbed one moment of my lifetime, nor will it ever deprive me of amoment’s sleep. Yet I think Ihave a heart to feel for my country—to strive for it—to speak for it—to act for it; aud i thank God T have a mind to think for it, and that he bas given me courage to speak what I do speak. That 1 i} do—that } have done, and that F will do at all (Applause.) That is what my noble State taught me from my youth, when I ran wild through her wilder- ness, where there Was none to make any one afraid, Fe! low-citizens, you say you need my counsel as to what there is to be done. I think with you, that it js time this grea jitat‘on had for a time ceased, Then the people might panse ond tuke breath, and that the parties themeelves may see which way they were drifting, and how far they bad drifted. What has been the result of all this agitation upon a subject to which you will allow n to allude, but which I will not name, I am sick of iI the very heart. I am sick of this nigger question in ail the forms in which it has been presented. What has been the result of itall? A united people divided, and a sectional line almost establiehed between us: and with that line will follew, no doubt, @ sectional feeling. We should be one people, in one name, as our fathers were united, and stand side by side as our patriot fathers—as our statesmen fathers—who fought side by side and acted in counse! for their country, side by side, Have w derived from them no other inheritance than that of per petual sectional division and controversies? mighty inheritance did we receive! What a mfghty happiness did we receive! Why, it is enough to make the heart of any human being swell almost to bursting w look at the progress which we have made; and I think that the people of this country are coming rapidly to the idea of examuming this point. I think that but for the disvensione of parties the people them- selves would rectify the grievance. Our govern. ment is founded upon the supposed intelligence and capacity of the people for self-government, and J be- lieve it fully; but such has been the course of events that but lute of this hberty is left to the people. From what is called “‘organization’’—tbat is, to make a mighty machine, by which a great multitude of the people are to be controlled, and two or three are to manage the ma chinery—the people’s voice is not heard. I think there should be an end to all this; it is infringing upon the rights of the people; and when these rights are in the Jeast touched self-government falls to the ground. I be- Neve, geutlemen, that the old whigs could do nothing bet- ter than to propagate that sentiment, as I believe the Learts and minds of the people ure the source of all politi- cai truth. I fear Lam getting into ® speech which I did not intend to meke, Permit me, then, to say again, and J Deg that these gentiemen—if this thing must bs reported— Will report mm with all possible sincerity, when I say that I am no candidate, and that I don’t want any man to consider me as a candidate, and that it is with cere regret I ever see my pame an- nounced coupled with the high office of President. I wish to God, and Thope that it will be 20, that some man more able tw guide and watch over the destinies of this country should have it. I would not, gentlemen, ac- copt the Presidency unless in a contingency which is mot Ukely to happen—that it was the unhiaased Opinion of the people of the United States that } could serve my country. Buti do pet want to be @ candidate. Gentlemen, ther will be bo lack of candidates, and no difficulty of selecting ove; however, ss If said befure, you may count upon mo #6 a true and faithful co operator with you in yourscbemes for the re for mation of the government of this country and the bringing of it back to its pristine excellence and vir tue—to mnake it what jt was in Washiugton’s time. (Ap plause.) Suppose you were to make a comparivon be tween the government under Washington aud that unde Buchauan, Is jt not hyperbolical? There is no like best—noteven & family resemblance. (Lavghter.) We thould, gentlemen, try to get back to those ok! principles, for we bave a great and mighty country, whieh will one day contain one hundred millions of souls, Just thiuk of that great day—it is worth living for—it is worth dying for—the day when this vast country will con- tain one hundred millions of freemen, goverved with the supreme laws of self government! After some further re. marks the bonorable gentleman concluded by thanking them for their vory cordial welcome and reception. He thanked them for their appreciation of his conduct, which Le would try to preserve in future. He would preter assisting them in making a President, as he would rather be a President maker thas Presigent—(iaughter )—and he hoped that we people would elect a traly en ian, and that they would govern, as in time past, in harmony to the country and in the happiness which resulted to us.

The country that finds outlet at Rosario is immense. I will in a short time give you a fuller account of this effort to direct commerce. Shipments of hides continue as before. Last month the river Plata sent away 100,000 hides, and this month 160,000 Will leave. The mountain mines are also sending away large quantities of copper to England, trom the port of Ro sario. But little hag transpired indicating the ultimate result of the controversy between the Bishop of this diocess and the Freemasons, "I wrote that the Bishop denied the use of the church for funeral services, and the Masons have appealed to the Legislature, now in session. Action upon the petition has not yet occurred. In the meantime, the Bithop has sued orders to the clergy in the country to oppose, by all legal means, the extension of the foul heresy ot Masonry, and gives example, I am informed, by promptly ‘excommunicating all Magons, releasing their wives from matrimonial obligations, servants from duty, &e. The Masons take it quite coolly, and are waiting the decision of government. Some improvements are visible in aud near the city of Buenos Ayres, such 8 a repaving of some of ovr roughest streets, a general whitening vp and r-pairing of the chief churches, an extension of another league of the railroad leading Weetward from the city, the erection of an obser- vatory upon the summit of the Merced church, and the conversion of the old Kecotleta church inte an asylum for te poor. The impression is daily deepening that this province must return to its place in the Confederation. A streng party is riing in favor of it, and a new paper to urge the measure is about to be established. BUENOS Ares, Sept. 28, 1858.

No country in the world has more of unbrokev pasturable land within the same number of leagues than the pampa portion of South America. Herds of cattle, horses, and tlocks of eheep incredible in numbers, roam over these plains and fatien on the luxuriant grass. The land of cows produces no butter! In this best grazing land op the globe we pine tor want of milk, and choose ig a luxury imported for the rich. At length, hope dawns. Senor Lopez, a cattle farmer in a remote part of the Argentine Republic, is about to fence with posts and wiro ten leagues of and, to be again divided, and ail to be used for taming and training cattle for the service of the dairy. The object is, ina short time, to furnikh butter and chedse for this city. The posts are of growing willow, which at vo dis tant time will form a circle of trecs all around the farm. This is a novelty in execution, though the plan has been talked of for years. If successful, it will revolutionise cattle arming in this country. ‘The milk excitement has been felt here, as weltae in New York. White compounds of water and other sub- stances have been so long used instead of milk, that the 1p claim it as a right to dilute in proportion to the ntity taken =A few bonest distributors of that primi- beverage have been driven to the necessity of driving ir cows to the door and giving you the lacteal secre- tion Warm trom the udder, At length « company is about to supply us just as your Pore Milk Company agrees to dot. ¢., furnish the milk in closed cans, from whieh it is to bedrawn by funcets.

Buenos Aynas, Oct. 4, 1858. Pampa Indians with their Horses—Eaxpertness of the Horse— Horses Killed at Owners’ Death—Use of the Volas—Skill in their Use— Vola Perdida—Depredations of Indians. The Indians of the pampas are very expert in the management of horses, The horses, too, seem to partake of their owners’ intelligence, and unite in an attack, or retreat, or chase, as (hough they had reason, In attack- ing a town or approaching a troop, the natives have the skill to cling to the s.ce of the horse, and in this manner a troop of horsemen seem only to be a herd of tlying horses. If necessary, they can cling to the belly of the horse as herups. When retreating with booty, they rest not by day or night, until they reach a place of safety.

I have said, sir, that Iconsider this law inefficacious for fomenting direct commerce from the high seas with the littoral ports of the Parana and Uruguay; and I will now expluin my reasons, Without denying the evidence of yalpable facts, no ove can fail to admit that of the 174 vea- sels from the high seas that arrived at the Rosario during the year 1857 and the past months of the current yoar, scarcely a third part bave come loaded with Furopexn merebandise—either remnants of cargoes soll iu t markets of the Plate, or have re-embarked goods int sit, in the markets of ‘Buenos Ayres and Montevideo, » disposed of the most valuable parts of their cargoes, In this reapect there 18 no expedient the Merebant bas not put in practice to evade the law of dit. ferential duties. Twill not enumerate the acts of contra band, for those who know our coasts can form a correct estimate of what bas been doue, and know it as a thing of public notoriety, The same must happen in the export of products deposited at the Rosario, as & consequence of this law; they will ho doubt be embarked for foreign ports, but purchased from Buenos Ayres or Montevideo, and that the cargoes may escape the doudle duties, the word of a mere clerk or Written orders from either market, will suffice; the Denefit of this operation accruing not to the Rosario, but to the merchants of the interdicted ports. Nothing 80 much demoralizes a law and depresses the public antho- rity as the facility of evading it; and im treating of the public revenue, nothing is so dangerous as confiding it to individual probity, Observe that as regards the execu tion of the law with respect to direct cot as regards the custom houge revenue, markets of the Plate; and thougi: I have the pleasure of admitting that said confidence has been deposited in parties worthy of it, that does not lessen the frayility of a mere personal responsibility, the only guarantee of the law of July, whilst that now brought forward as iss com plement can furnish no other, The honorable Senate js aware that at the Rosario no other requisite is necessary for establishing the — for port from which goods have come than (he certificate of « person in Buenos Ayres and Montevideo, authorized to grant such. ‘That the port of Rosario might become a commercial emporium, did not require a figeal system, | onerous to the industry of the country and opposed to the liberty eanctioued in theory.
