The Knickerbocker which is itself, if we mistake not, by no means a mealy-mouthtd journal, says :' y " . " The law estimate placed by foreigners on the New York press, is scarcely undeserved.

To make a paper spicy-, it may be necessary to resort to this sort, of blackguardism, but we really think it is in exceeding bad taste. " Ashe quarrel proceeds, the circle widens. What was once a matter, between the Day Book ana me Hinquirer, nas gone on bpreaaing udui the London papers have become enlisted in the cause, and the reputation of a certain married lady is made to depend on the denouement Carolina? He says "she is in error in thus tepara. ling Iter self from her sister sUtceholding States.1'. Ah, indeed?. The eyes of the Editor are being opened to the dangers ahead! But he must speak in plainer and bolder terms, if he expects his opinions to do any good. If she 'is in error," in thus endeavoring, yea, resolving, to do all in her power to-dissolve this Union then why does not the Editor of the "Standard" come out like a good citizen and rebuke such conduct, and expose its ruinous consequences. South Carolina stands ready to break up this Government, to dissolve the Unions to separate herself in destiny from the other Southern States. Is the Editor for South Carolina or for the Union? Will he encourage and stand by her, or the other States of the South? Is he for peaee, or war ? Is he for secession, br Union? What is he for, and what is he--fish, flesh, or fowl ? In this day of threatened danger ne while the "anti-half hog party" lustily urge that "a flitch of bacon" is the side of a hog minus the ham and shoulder, iioih nt these parties however agree on one point that the meat must be the hog's meat, and must be cured before it can be called "a flitch of bacon," bat as to the other point, unless the annexed communi patio n from a benevolent gentleman, who does not wish to see the peace of the community dis turbed, can settle jt, we fear there will be "a whole hog" of a fight, in 'which some of the in habitants may eome on minus a snouider or nam.

My Dkar Sie : I am sorry to be obliged to de cline your invitation. It is not m my power to mm gle actively in the canvass which now interests ; so warmly all the mends ol freedom ; but tnougti toy voice may not be beard, my heart will be with you.' I trust no pains will be spared to secure the elec tion of Mr. Palfrey, the very able, honest, and inflex ible candidate of our party. H is character commands the admiration of all ; it should command their votes also. No person familiar with the public sentiment among us out of certain -streets in Boston can doubt that, whatever may be the professions of poli ticians, his well known opinions on the vital question of the day find a response in the bosoms -pf an over whelming majority of thj good people of this com monwealth.

Such men, while serving the Union loyally, and m the spirit of the Fathers, will never forget the true principles of the Constitution, according to which free dom, and not slavery is national, while slavery, and not freedom, is sectional. Ever faithfully yours, CHARLES SUJUJMJ!Jl. Dr. Este Howe, Chairman of the Freesod District Committee, Cambridge. Now the fault of the existing Whig Administration in Mr.SoctfEE's eyes consists simply in the fact, that the President and his Cabinet are resolved upon en forcing the laws which carry out the guaranties of the Constitution. This is bis grievance and th only grievance, and all hisdevotioe to the Union is pre dicated upon the assumption that it can be perverted to the accomplishment of his seetjpnal and fanaticaj purposes, 4 tt?" The ,s Standard" speaks of the" "infamous Se- ward" as having travelled with the President oft his late tour, making speeches to the people. "What pitifql demagogueism I The papers dc state, we be lieve, that he happened to be on the same tram of cars with Mr. Fiixmoee, atone point on his route, and in that sense "travelled" with him ; we believe, too, that he was called out somewhere, on ene occasion, and naade a short speech but that be either travel? led with the President, otherwise than by the purest accident, or was at all considered as a part of Mr. Fillmore's retinue, is, of course, untrue. But wht says tbe ' Standard" to the fact that Senator Douglass u travelled" with the President and of course, with Seward, in the eyes of that paper, and 'made Speeches to the people.' And not oofer -made speeches," but was actually guilty of the monstrous enormity of saying,that it "gladdened his heart to see the entire population thus turning out to welcome the Chief Magistrate of thjs great nation V Horror of horrors and altogether horrible ! settle so important and grave a question, and the lollowing is the result of my research. I send it to you, sir, for publication, as your valuable paper may meet the eyes of the two disputants ere I have again the pleasure of seeing them, and with a sincere hope that it will put the matter forever at rest Henderson, in his valuable Treatise on Bacon and ham, p. 486, says : The animal should be left fasting for full twenty-four hours before killed; andf after the carcass has hung all night, it should be laid on its back upon a strong table. The head should then be cut off close by the ears, and the hinder feet so far below the houghs as not to disfigure the hams, and leave room to hang them up by ; after w'lich the carcass is divided into equal halves, up to the middle of the back bone, with a drawing knite, and, if necessary, a hand mallet Then cut tlie ham from the side, by the second joint of the back bone, which will appear on dividing the carcass; and dress the ham by paring a little of the flank or shinnv part, so as to shape it with a half round point, clearing off any fat that may appear. The curer will next cut otf the sharp edge along the back bone with a knife and mallet, and slice off the first rib next the shoulder, where he will find a bloody vein, which must be taken out, for, if left in, that part is apt to spoil. The corners should be saaared off when the ham is cut out" . " When this is don?, give each 'flitch'' as the sides are called a powdering of saltpetre,and then cover with salt, and lat them remain in a cool p'ace, and proceed in the same manner with the hams." Can anything be more plain, Mr. Editor, than the distinction he here makes between the flitch and the ham 1 Bnt again, further on, he re marks : "The Drying of Hams and Bacon. The flitches will in general, be sufficiently cured in tittle. less than a fortnight, without much loss ol weight ; but hams, if thoroughly smoked, require a longer time." - ' I think; if thesfe extracts are n t sufficient to con vince the most stubborn that a flitch does not con tain a ham, nothing else can :so I will conclude, albeit mqch further evidence might be adduced. Thy lriend, saiEJV, STATE PRINTING. The delivery of the Laws, Journals, etc., of the last Legislature, to the carriers for the respective routes, has been considerably retarded, this year, on account of the great accumulation of work required to be done. The time strictly allowed for it to be executed within, under the present arrangement, is so limited, as to render an exact compliance impossible. The con tractors and printers, and our venerable and efficient Secretary of State have done their utmost to have the work pressed forward. The latter is at present busily employed in des patching the v olumes, and they will now be deliver ed in doe order. mission to Austria, Stimson, of the Day Book, published a series of articles reflecting very se verely on the Colonel's character. These artic les were republished a few weeks sipce in the London Times. Last week the Colonel went in" for a little revenge, and came down on N. P. Willis with an attack as savage as it seems un called for. What Willis has to do ith Stjnison's sins, is difficult to discover, while it is full as dif ficult to discover what Willis's seduction of" an only daughter ' has to do with the remaiks of the London Times. " The Co onel'a course is not only strange, but wrong. 'J'he difficulty lhat exists between him and his opponents, can be, or at least ought to be, adjusted without dragging into the arena the pame, and perhaps the happiness of an unoffend ing woman. We are perlectly willing the belli gerents should throw dead cats at each other, that they should post themselves as miscreants, ruffi ans, libertines and slate prison birds, but we pro test against their doing any or all I his at the ex penseof afar distant petticoat. If it were base in Willis to seduce " an only daughter' it is full as base to retive its remembrance. The matter in no manner relates to the attacks made on Col. Webb, and for this reason it should not have been connected with them. If anybody has libeled the editorof the Enquirer, it is Stimson of the Dy Book Stimson of the Dat Bonk is the man. therefore, that the Colonel should " pitch into,'' Willis is no more responsible fur Siimsnn's re marks tuan we are, while the on y daughter" referred to has less to do with the squabble than the man in the moon." The Day Book says : ' We publish the above not only because it is very good in its way, but to correct the impres sion it is likely to convey. In the first place, then, Stimson never wrote nor said a word against Col. Webb while he was absent from (he country. He never abused, him, slandered him, nor libelled him. The first of this quarrel was the charging Mr. Stimson wiih a crime, by the Courier and Enquirer. Col. Webb was asked either to prove his charge or acknowledge its falsity. He did neither, but tiirew himself upon his dignity and pretended that we were not rorth noticing. It remained for us then to show to the world who and what this man is that thus sets himself up above others. We have done it only in part, but will finish him before we drop him." It is evident that among the many reforms of the day, there is none wh eh is more needed than a reform of the manner and, we may add, morals of the press in some of our large nofhern cities. We say Northern, because it is rare to find a Southern paper which deals in gross personalities towards its opponents, or which pollutes its columns wiih pictures of crime painted in glowing colors, for the purpose of pandering to vicious passions. The attack of Col. Webb upon Mr. Willis, is one of the most gross and in excusable of all the abominations which we have seen tor a longtime in the filtbv sew- ers ot iNew xork lournalism. L.ven it it were true, what man, not lost to every spark of humanity and delicacy, would have lifted the veil from the frailty of "an only daugh ter" of a "dear friend," that he migh gratify his vengean.ee upon an enemy ? Were Wil lis the guilty villain he represents,, the fact of Webb thus holding up the child of his de parted friend to public infamy, would satisr fy any man that the accqser is as depraved as the criminal. The probability is. however, that the" charge is utterly destitute of found ation, and, if so, jt is hard to imagine a greater depth of degradation than that which Webb has reached. A journal conducted in a proper and intel ligent spirit, is an advantage to the business, the morals, and the happiness of society. But a nespaper which departs from the high mission of disseminating knowledge and vir tue, and becomes an engine of vindictive malice, and a panderer to the vilest desire qf the human heart, is a powerful and unmiti gated curse. There is po poison so deadly and so dreadful as its influence. The ser pent's tooth pan but bite the heel; this stings the soul; the serpent can but assail one vic tim; a degraded journal, at the same moment, can blight a scoie of reputations and diffuse into a thousand hearts the vemon of the basest passions. couse regarded as suspicious, and efforts have for some time past been made to obtain a knowledge oj meir wnereaoouui. a tew days since ajrs.

It is useless to separate this question from dol lars and cents. Our low country planters, who live easily, may scorn the pecuniary considerations which embarrass this business, but the working peopfe every where, both in the low country and the upper country, have mere sense than chivalry, and begin to inquire what all this is to cost and what is to be gained by it? . With very consider able opportunities for ascertaining public senti ment in our. country districts, I can assure you, it is hard to find a man from theupper country ,who is willing to avow himself for separate and immedi ate State action : nearly all who have come under my observation deprecate the present position of our State, as one of great difficulty and peril, and would rejoice if any means could be found to ex tricate ourselves from the embarrassing platform upon which onr too? nasty politicians uf piaueu us.

Since the above letter came to hand, we have Conversed with a gentleman direct from Chestestown, who was present at thejail when Shaw was confronted with the prisoners, and made his confession He says he never saw a more hardened set of men collected to gether. The excitement in Chestertown was intense, and great joy was manifested by the. people at the certainty of all murder ers being in custody. Webster, the Uncle of Mrs. Cosden, is now acknowledged to be free of all participation in the bloody deed, and will be discharged in a few days. The prisoners are heavily chained together, and present a most revolting spectacle. Their trial will take place next week. Bait.

The Georgia Journal and Messenger speaks of this address in the following plain terms ; We know not when we have read a more de liberate, gross, or ioexcasab'e insult, than is offer ed to the people qf the South iq the address of the Carolina Convention, in another column, A stran ger would suppose that there is no spirit, no manhood, no common sense out of South Caroli na. The studied indignity offered to Virginia, to Oorgia and in fact to all the other Somhern States, is not without its significance. It shows that the object of the agitators is not onlv to dis-1 solye the Union, but to' dissolve it in a sea of dIoqu. We are last approaching the re-enact ment of the scenes of the French revolution. These men arebent upon civil war a war of extermination, and the sooner the people know it and prepare for it the better. Again : The truth can be no longer concealed-the mask has been taken off. and disunion in all its hideous propjrtions, stands revealed. Let those who doubt the fact, read the proceedings of the Caroli na Convention, and then turn to the letter of Mr Poinsett, for a truthful picture ot the consequen ces that will follow uch action. What will be true ot Carolina, will be equally true of Geoigia under similar circumstances.

Moore, were entirely con sumed by fire on yesterday (Friday) morning. The fire was discovered just before day, and but- for the stillness of the atmosphere, would inevitably have swept tbe house itself, and very probably the whole block. The great wonder is, that Raleigh has suffered of late, comparatively so little by fire. We owe our security, certainly, to no good facilities of obtaining water, or well organized fire police. Few towns in the Union, even of half the size and population, but are infinitely better provided against conflagration. We have no security that is worthy of the name, and the sooner our Commissioners look into the matter, the belter will it be for all interested. FOURTH OF JULY.

A young lady, a stranger in this city.profne naded State and Genessee streets yesterday, wearing the short dress and trowsers which have been so much commented upon by the pre83flate. She created a marked sensation arnons the lords of Creation, the maiortty ot whom, we hear, are quite fascinated with her appearance. "Who is she f was the yery general inquiry, but it teems that no one was able to answer the question. It matters not who she was. or where she came lrotn sne presented a fine appearance, and should not be at all modest about, exhibiting herself in the most refined and cultivated society. Her dress was decidedly lich, and made her ap pear more like a celestial being than one confined to earth. -Tbe lady seemed ready for any emergency. Ifthe streets were in bad condition, she was capable of gliding along without the least inconvenience; if they were dry and dusty, her dress was not called upon to do the drudgery of a broom; and if it became necessary for her to quicken' her pace on account of a threatening storm, she was ready to put herself in competition with the most fleet pf the opposite; sex. We say, Hunan for the short dress ami trodsersf ' jftifaern Advertiser, The Louisville Journal (the leading Whig Pa per in Kentucky)says, and the Bah imare Patriot to the full endorses, " The Louisville Democrat asks us whether we wish the Whigs or the Locofocos to succeed in the next Congressional election of Indiana. We hard ly need say that we wish the Whigs to succeed if their candidates are men who will honestly sop port either the present fugitive slave law1 or some other law which Will vvith fully equal effective ness carry out the requisition of the constitution fof the extradition of fugitives from service. If, how ever, it shall happen to be the case iq any Con eressional district, or any drier State, that the Lo- cofoco candidate shall be in favor of the present or some other equally efficacious law, while th'e Whig shall be in favor ol the repeal or tbe etnas eolation of the existing law, the Locofoco candi date, as the Democrat very well knows, will have our best wishes for his success. The constitution expressly says lhat slaves es caping into free States shall be restored to service, and we earnestly hope that any party which goes for annulhng that part ot the constitution Joy not tolerating a law for its effectual execution, will be beaten.
