THE POT AND THE KETTLE-BALTIMORE AND two cities have taken each other by the ears. A large public meeting of the "friends of civil and religious liberty" was held in the Exchange in Baltimore on the 23d ult. The object was to pass resolutions condemnatory of the conduct of the citizens of Boston towards their Irish fellow citizens. The meeting was unusually large and the Hall was crowded long before the appointed hour.

A preamble and resolutions referring in strong language to the burning of the Charlestown Convent and the more recent affair of the Montgomery Guards were adopted by the meeting and committees appointed. The Bostonians on learning this news became quite combustible with indignation; they reprobate the idea of censuring a whole community for the conduct of a few hundreds of its most worthless population and contend that even in the very worst view of the case it was rather a good joke for such a lecture to come from Baltimore, the very seat of riots. It was the pot calling the kettle black illustrated. and they would view it in no other light than as the commencement of a farce. Public opinion we believe never will attribute the outrages perpetrated in Boston to the great mass of the community.

We never doubted that the prime movers were a band of dangerous abolitionists and destructives harboured in that city and the only charge that can be made against the citizens generally is a remissness in the punishment of the offenders. The character of the city must to a certain extent assume the responsibility and so long as the Bostonians encourage these abolition knaves by the slightest acquiescence in their movements it is idle to look for either good order at home or a good name abrond.The conduct of the Baltimoreans we think was uncalled for, particularly as affairs at home left them so liable to recrimination.They have embroiled themselves in a quarrel which cannot possibly tend to any good, whoever gets the best of it, by stirring up a subject whose home ought to be its grave. They will find out that they have gone too near the fire and burnt their fingers. the latest news from that Republic, we learn that Congress has passed a law continuing the title of all settlers to 640 acres of land, for six months after the first inst. At the expiration of that time the bonus to be reduced to 320 acres.

From all appearances, the number who will take the benefit of the larger grant will be very great; people are flocking into the country from all parts of the world. New A bill has been introduced into the Legislature to repeal the law which prohibits the Banks from issuing notes under the denomination of five dollars.

CONVENTION OF SOUTHERN MERCILANTS. trade, as well as to the sale and disposition of Southern products. All the foreign, productions consumed in the South are not imported by Southern merchants; they are imported by Northern dealers, and sold with a profit to the South. Certainly there is no lack of patriotism in the South, if the Southern merchants attempt to do for themselves what Northern merchants perform with much profit, in supplying the South with foreign merchandize. If the object of the convention can be plished, the Southern merchants will import their own supplies, instead of paying a commission and profit to the Northern merchants, to undertake the same adventure.

With pect to the sale of Southern products, the Southern merchants should have ti sale and disposition of what naturally belongs to them. In the South, at the present time, ly a bale of cotton can be sold for export, unless it be done through the means of northern, should the Southern merchants not have the sale and and disposition of the products of their own section of the Union? The South does not possess the advantage of selling to foreigners and dispoposing of Northern productions, as the North possesses the advantage of selling to foreigners and disposing of Southern productions! The operation 1 for the sale of our products is circuitous, and attended with heavy charges. A Southern speculator who wishes to purchase cotton, has to obtain the money first in some way or other. Then he ships the cotton to Charleston or Savannah. This cotton is ed to the owner in Augusta.

This owner ped to Liverpool and a bill of lading forward- a transmits this bill of lading to a northern house; and on the reception of this bill of lading, the Northern house accepts the drafts of the Augusta owner of the cotton for a specific amount. The northern house then draws on the cotton in Liverpool. This is the usual operation at the present time. If the object of the convention can be accomplished, the Augusta speculator will be enabled to ship his cotton to Liverpool himself and to draw for the amount, without. the interference of northern merchants, and without additional charges.

These drafts, drawn by Southern merchants, will be purchased by Southern 0 We regret very much to find few of our citizens entertain the opinion that one of the obiects intended to be accompli-hed by the convention of merchants and others, recently assembled in this city, was to sever the commercial relations now existing between the South and the North. and to substitute others for them with a foreign nation. Those citizens who entertain such an opinion. are. we verily believe, greatly If object of the convention had been such, we would not have advocated such a meeting so zealously and earnestly.

The object of the meeting, as clearly and unequivocally stated by the speakers, and as pointedly told in the report and resolutions adopted, is to render the South independent in regard to the import porters of British goods.

JOHN FORSYTH, By the President, Secretary of State. JAMES MADISON. Secretary of State. From the Nero Orleans Com. Bulletin.

A report, circulated several weeks ago, that the Government of the United States has repented of their impolitic measure of employing Indian mercenaries to fight against Indian enemies, and had countermanded the detachunent of Shawnees and Delawares who were proceeding to Tampa Bay, the scene of military operations, against the poor hunted Seminoles. It came to us in such an authentic unquestionable shape, that we gave full credence to it at the time, and rejoiced at the returning sense of numanity and magnanimity manifested by this judicious revocation of an order, tending so deplorably to bring disgrace upon our national escutcheon subsequent senquiries have proved the report to be Our red allies are still wending their way to the swamps of the Withlacoochee, if not already encamped within its precincts, and are likely to share with their white comrades in the honor of having extinguished the council fires and conquered the hunting grounds of the rebellious adherents of Osceola. It seems that the story originated in this -The I government had been apprized that a portion prevent any disquiet or sullenness on the part of the savages. an officer wes immediately despatched to inform them that all who were discontented with the expedition, on the terms of their military engagement, were at liberty retrent and return -In passing thro' our city, this emissary of the Executive gave. probably, an obscure account of the object of his mission, and hence arose the report which we have contradicted.

Greatly indeed is it to be lamented there should be any necessity for anch a contradiction. Better, far bettor for our national honor, would it be to contend single handed for years with our barbarous adversaries, than resort to the subsidizing of foreign mercenaries for the protection of our homes and firesides. SPECIE PAYMENTS. following articleon this subject is from the the Washington Madisonian. RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.

It affords us sincere pleasure to state, that preparatory measures have been taken which can scarcely fail to lend to an early resumption of specie payments, by the leading State banks generally throughout the Union. We have seen a letter froma high source in New York, which states that on the 18th inst. the fficers of the banks in that unanimously resolved, to respectfully invite the in the several States to meet on the 27th day of November next, in that city, to confer on the time when specie payments may be resumed with safety, and with convenience to the community; and on the measures necessary to accomplish successfully, that desirable and important object. committee appointed last August by the same banks, was charged with the duty of communicating the resoluto the banks in the several States. We learn these communications have already been made, There can hardly he a doubt but the leading banks in the several States will accept the invitation, and heartily co-operate in the carryinto effect the object.

contemplated. Wedo not apprehend that the day which will be fixed upon by the Banks for resuming the payments of specie will be later than the 1st of March next. That, we think, will be the most favorable period that can be selected. It would give time for the bulk of the present year's crop to have been realized. That will enable the planters and farmers to pay the storekeeper; the storekeeper to pay the city jobber, and the jobber to pay the banks.

It is the crops alone which can lead to general liquidation of debts and balances. The fixing a period for resumption will do much, undoubtedly, thereafter, towards reguleting and equalizing the domestic exchanges of the country. Necessary precautions and prudence will oblige those dealing in the domestic exchanges, to conduct those on the present crops on the same principles. in anticipation ofa resumption of specie payments that they would, if they had already actually taken place. The act of fixing a day for resuming.

will have the most salutary influence in restoring confidence, immediately after such decision is made by the lanks. It will lead to the immediate commencement and gradual preparation, on the part of the Banks and the community, for the event; and, consequently, the period will be reached and passed over, without any effect, other than the ordinary circumstances of the day. From the Nero Orleane Com. Bulletin. There have been divers contradictory rumors in regard to the circumstances tending the recent disasterous accident happening to the steamboat Monmouth.

From Mr. Eastman the senior partner of the firm of Messrs. Eastman and Brothers, of this city, by whom the Monmouth was owned, we learn the foilowing particulars. Mr. Eastman was on board at the time of the accident, which occurred on the evening of the 31st October, and was consequently a spectator of all that occurred.

He informs us that the Monmouth was chartered by the Alabama Einigrating Co. through the agency of Col. W. A Campbell, to transport the Creek Indians from New Orlenns to Arkansas. On her passage up the Mississippi, when near the head of Prophet's Island, Mr.

E. was standing on the larboard wheelhouse of the boat, and hearing the pilot of the Monmouth ring the bell, he immediately went forward and asked why the bell was rung The pilot had scarcely replied, don't you when at that moment the steamer came in contact with a ship with such violence, as to break in the bows of the Monmouth and causing her immediately to be filled with water. As soon as the ship passed by, the steamer was run ashore, and with such lines as could be procured, inade fast. Scarcely had she however reached the shore, when the hull sunk and the cabin floated down stream in two parts, on one of which was Mr. E.

with several of the officers of the boat and probably two hundred indians. The steamboat Warren which was towing the ship immediately on the happening of the accident, rounded to and made for the portion of the wreck of which we have just spoken, and rendered every possible assistance in saving the lives and property of the Indians. Yazoo and John Nelson steamers which were also laden with Indians, were soon on the spot, rendering all the aid in their power. Mr. E.

informs us that the night of the accident was dark with a drizzling rain and that neither the ship nor the steamboat that had her in tow, were discovered by any person on the Monmouth, until the moment before the vessels came in contact. It having been stated in some of the published accounts, that the accident occurred through the negligence and mismanagement of the officers the Monmouth, and further, that. she was an old boat not well manned, Such we are informed by Mr. E. is not the fact.

The boat was but little over 12 months old, was well manned, all her officers were of experience, and knowing their duty, did not neglect it, and in fine, she ranked among the best boats on the river. For ourselves we cannot but deem it carein lessness of an ordinory degree, to tow a ship a dark night without lights on the river. and such we are informed was the fact. There were on board the Monmouth 693 Indians, out of which number 230 were killed or drowned. Many of the survivors were badly injured.

Several physicians, actuated by the best feelings of humanity, came from Bayou Sara, and administered to the poor unfortunate Indians. OUR Business is again beginning to look up. The river is fast rising, and cotton continues to pour in with unabated violence" We have now some of the finest boats on the Southwestern waters, plying between this place and New Orleans. Judging from present appearances, we would infer that the ensuing season bids fair to be one of unwonted briskness in commercial transactions. Our merchants have all received new and extensive supplies of driu) Intelligencer.

From the Philad-Inhia Commercial Herald. SCHoOL. SHIPS. Wintever may be the fate of the packet shin Susquehanna, of one thing there can be no doubt, namely, that public attention has heen drawn. by its reported cup ture, to some of the faults, negligencies, or want- of the Nuvy Department.

Among other things now loudly called for by public opinion, and which has heretofore been urged upon the attention of the Department by distinguished naval officers, is a Coast Squadron, to be constantly employed in cruizing off our coast for the protection of our growing commerce, and as a school of practice for American seamen. Great difficulty is now experienced by the officers of the Navy, in procurAmerican seamen for our national ships, and it is not, perhaps going. too far to say, that more than one the seamen on board our ships of war, are foreigners. This is a fuct. highly discreditable to us a nation.

inasmuch as government might easily remedy the evil. A plun, not only feasible, but highply benevolent in its character, has been suggested as a remedy for this evil, and to which public attention has heretofore been drawn though perhaps at a time when the public mind was to much absorbed by other matters to take the subject into serious consideration. We allude to the plan of establishing in each of the principal seaport towns in the United States, a School Ship, for the reception of such boys, say from the age of ten years to fifteen or sixteen, as might be disposed, by and with the consent of their parents and guardians, to enter it with a view of fitting themselves for a seafaring life. The plan proposes that on board this ship shall be kept a school for the education of these boys, and that they shall be well instructed in the various rudiments of reading, writing, arithmetic, navigation, as to be competent to take charge of a merchant vessel. The vessel on which they were aboard, would, of course, occasionally make a shorternise along the coast, with the view of practising the boys in seamanship and giving them a practical knowledge of their business.

The School and Ship should be placed under the charge of some judicous officer of the Navy, who would take pride in training these juvenile sailors, and in making them worthy defenders of their country; and who would also have a a a a a a a a a care of their moral improvement, for it should be a cardinal point, in the establishment of these schools, to preserve the boys from vice and temptation of every kind. It may he doubted by many, whether patheir rents and children guardians could be induced to place and wards in such a situation, and whether a sufficient number of boys could he obtained, to warrant the expense of keeping the school. But we have no doubt on the subject--if the school were established and conducted on a judicious plan, if it were made respectable by the character of its officers and were parents and guardians assured the of their children and wards would be strictly guarded, and the boys kept from the contamination of vice, there would be no lack of applicants for admission. Indeed let any one look at the number of lads that are now idle. or worse than idle, about our streets and wharves, and who by associating with the vicious and depraved older than themselves, soon learn the ways of the wicked and adepts themselves -and tell us, whether the parents of these youngsters would not rejoice at the opportunity of placing them where they could not grow up in ignorance and vice -useless to themselves- -a disgrace to their connections, and a burden to the community.

We are indebted for our ideas upon this subject to a distinguished officer of our navy, who has the subject so inuch at heart. that he declares himself ready and willing, if government will adopt the plan, to devote the remainder of his life to it, believing that he could therein render a most important service to his country, and to thousands of individuals endowed by nature with all the requisites necessary to make useful men, who would otherwise perhaps finally end their days in ignominy. We commend the subject to the notice of Congress, and also to the notice of the editorial corps in all the principal cities, and invoke their aid in pressing the mutter upon the attention of all the proper authorities. From the Texas Chronic.e. STATISTICS OF TEXAS.

The powers of the government of the republic of Texas are divided three parts viz: First. The legislative power, which is vested in a Senate and House of representatives, styled the Congress of the republic of of Texas. The members of the House of Representatives are elected annually on the first Monday in September, and hold their office for one year; their number cannot be less than twenty-four, nor more than forty, until the population shall have increased to one hundred thousand souls; two thirds of their number constitute a quorum. The Senators are chosen by Districts, and can never be less than onethird nor more than one-half of the number of Representatives; and each District is entitled to one member and no more. They are elected for the term of three years; go out of office every year, and new elected to fill the vacancy.

The Vice President of the Republic is President of the Senate. When vacancies happen in either House, it is the duty of the executive to issue writs of election to fill such vacancies. No bill can become a law until it has been read three several times in each House, passed the unless in cases of emergency, two by, thirds of the same, House where the bill originated shall deem it expedient to dispense with the rule. After a bill is rejected, no bill containing the same substance, can be passed into a law during the same session. No person holding any office of profit under the government can be eligible to a seat in either House of.

Congress. Members of either House may protest against any act or resolution, and have the same entered upon the Journals of their respective Houses. No money can be drawu from the public Treasury, but strict accordance with appropriations made by law, and no propriations can be made for private or local appurposes unless two thirds of each House concur in such appropriations. Every act of Congress, before it becomes a law, must be approved and signed by the President; but if the come President siould disapprove, then it may beboth a law by being re-considered, and ing Houses by a vote of of the passmembers. If the President shall fail to return the bill within five days, after it has been presented for his approval aud signature, the same shall become a law, unless the prevent its return in the time above specified Congress by adjournment.

The aninal was the property of an apprentice boy, who having won him at a ruffling match, brought him home and tied him to his stand. There Mr. Skipjack, who wasan observing charucter, had a fine opportunity to learn the trade; at least as far as it could be learned by merely watching the movements of others.

How far he profitted by it, will presbe seen. If be did not, in the end, make lently most satisfactory progress, it was certainlv not for the want of close observation on his part. He watched the movements of his young master with the most profound attention. He observed how he set the type and how he distributed them. But it was the latter which most especially struck his fancy.

He saw the the lad throwing the bits of metal about him, into the various departments of the case, A down to Ampersand: and his monkey fingers itched to be employed in a similar manner. At last an opportunity was afforded him. The apprentice and all hands having gone to dinner, the monkey was carelessly left on so string, that he could easily lean upon the case, and have abundant room for his free and easy" movements when there. On the upper case, were a coupie of leys full of type already set for the next paper. Upon these the monkey commenced his distribution.

He was not at all careful about taking a single word at a time; or distributing them according to the alphabet. On the contrary he clawed them up by whole handfuls, and distributing them in the most preposterous manner: throwing them about him on all sides, without caring whether A went into B's box, into C's and into D's-or in how great disorder the various letters became mingled together. Ina word, the monkey, with all his imitative ingenuity, was doing nothing better than making pi of the two galleys full of type. And this he accomplished in the must rapid and effectual manner. Afraid lest the Printers should return from their dinner before he had accomplished his job, he threw with might and main, and had nearly finished his piece of journey when the boy's master.

who had first returned to the office, opened the door and beheld the new printer at work. So tickled was the man. in spite of the mi3chief the monkey was doing, that he burst into a roar of laughter, and called all bands to witness the ludicrous movements of their brother typo. They came just in time to see him throw the last handful of the two columns of type, which it had taken a man's whole day's labor in setting. The monkey having completed his job much to his own satisfaction, round and looked the Printers in the face grinning and chattering, as if to congratulate them on the accession of the strength they had gained to their office.

But whatever the men might have thought of the industry of their new compeer, they were not altogether satisfied with the manner in which he did his work. It was therefore resolved nem. con. that Skipjack should handle no more type in that office. But the discredit he sutlered in that office was of no little service to his reputation out of it; for the story of his distributing two columns, getting wind through Londonderry, he became very profitable object for a new raffling match, and his owner putting him up for forty chances of fire shillings each, got ten pounds sterling for an animal that had rendered himself so famous among the types.

HOME WHERE ER THE HEART IS! From the new Drama -Bx R. D. OWEN. home where'er the heart is, Where'er its living treasures dwell; In cabin or in princely hall, In forest haunt, or hermit's cell. 'Tis bright where'er the heart Its fairy spells have power to string Fresh fountains to the wilderness.
