To the Governor of the State of Massa chusetts: -Sir : I observe that one branch of the General Assembly of the State of Massa chusetts has thought fit to appoint a com mittee to institute enquiry as to what action shall be taken to procure the restoration to frretom of the three negro men, who were a short, time since sold at Galveston, Texas, under the laws of that State and purchased by me. I hanDened in Galveston at the time these three ne-rroes were detected in the act of kiftnanninrr or abducting slaves from their owners. They were tried under the laws of Texas, found trinity and ot course suDiect- ed to the penalty imposed by the law of that State. In. the execution of this law, they were exposed, to public sale and I became the purchaser. If the Legislature of Massachusetts, or the Abolitionists, are really sincere in their ilisnosition to .restore to citizenship and lihertv these neoroes. I will afford them an opportunity of doing so. x f . therefore, propose to this committee, or to the Abolitionists generally, if they will pay me the amount of nrrmey it has r.ost to reclaim a fugitive slave in Boston, hev ran have, these nenroes.

The Washington. Correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, (X.) dissects Buchanan's ate letter to the "unterrified" as follows: Mr. Buchanan's letter to distinguished citizens of Baltimore has produced quite a . . i l .3 sensation: here, it nas peen remariseu that while Mr. Buchanan in speaking of the olcT-issues, enumerates the National Rank: the Independent Treasury, the dis tribution of the proceeds of the public lands, and the veto power, he entirely abstains from giving an opinion on the tariff; though that measure is even now agnaiea oy me Pennsylvania members in Congress. 1 he inquiry is, are the democrats (since there is no issue on that subject) to stand on the Whig platform, or vice versa.' . Mr. Buchanan also "unnesiiaimgiy reiterates that the democratic party must fallback on those "time honored ' princi ples" which have divided parties "Horn the beginning of the federal constitution;' and this has led to the inquiry whether it would be safe to so back as far as 1S14. - Great changes have evidently taken placee in men's minds since that period, and it would be difficult now to construct a party out of materials no longer in use, or have been strangely meiamoipnuscu an iuuuu.

As citizens of North Carolina we are much rrratified at the zeal and ability with which Mr. Badger has sustained the true nml rnnservative doctriaes of the South in n - . - die TTniteH States Senate, since the Jios- snth mania and other kindred looienes have taken possession of that once digni- tied body. While Cas3, and Douglass, and Seward, and Halej and omers oi uie same stamp, have been playing the JJem agogue. and trying to create excitement out nf whi.-li to make political capital for them selves, no matter what woes might betide the. country . our own true and faithful rep resentative of the unpretending State that sent him! has stood uDon the platform of the Father of his Country, and. with stal wart arm hurled down the Goths and Van dals bv which it was invaded. The whole South annreciales his patriotic efforts in be half of its true policy, and the unprincipled press, that opened its batteries upon him for this course before it had snuffed the gale and ascertained the sentiment of the coun trv. is awed into silence. Three months a-o every Democratic print in the State was thirsting to bathe its muzzle m nis uiouu and foremost of the murderous pack was the Standord of the city of his own resi dence. It pronounced him worse 'than a Turk, and totally repudiated and disown ed him. But the issue of its fierce on slaught is likelv to be similar to that, of the dog that assailed the man of Islington : The man recover'd o( the bite, The dog it was that died." Ibid. EASY CALCULATION. The following simple rule for the caten ation of interest is worth preserving care fully ; and the Raleigh Times recommends to its readers, who do not file their papers, (as all men ought to do,) to cut it out and preserve it. It is an expeditious mode for finding the interest on a given sum for any number of days at G per cent. Divide the number of. days by f and muliinlv the dollars by the dividend, the result is the interest in decimals ; cut off the right hand figure and you have it in dollars and cents. Thus What is the in terest on $100 for 21 days? 21 divided by is 3i ; 100 multiplied by J. is J-jU or 35 cents. Again, what is the interest on $378 for 93 days ? 93015 ; 37Sxl5 5859, or $5 So 9-10. Let book keepers try this rule and they will hnd that it is all right. Mr. Webster is the subject of a very a- musing anecdote, which we find in the Washington correspondence of a New Or leans paper. It is said that when Mons. Sartige, the new Minister trom t ranee, asked Mr. W ebsler wnether the United States would recognize the new Govern ment in France, the Secretary assumed a very solemn voice and attitude, saying "why not? The United Sttes has recog nized the Bourbons, the Republic, the Di rectory, the Council of Five Hundred, tne First Consul, the Lmperor, Liouis A.V1I1, Charles X, Louis Phillippe, the" "E nouirh. enoush!" cried the French Minis ter, perfectly satisfied by such a formidable citation oi consistent precedents.

' The Washington Union takes as its text for a long article on the "Present posture of the Democratic party," Mr. Buchanan's admission in his late Baltimore letter, that TAp. Democratic vartv never was in thnn nt nrriMiiy '.. The g i t.w Union endorses the truth of Mr. Buchan- au's statement in regard (o the condition of the Democratic party. " The truth of the declaration cannot be gainsaid." -. Three months ago, in the view of the Union, the party was stronger than ever now it is in imminent peril or an overthrow. our party," it adds, has assumed no xiew po 'sition for which the people have with- drawn their confidence ; nor have our opponents assumed any new position by 'which they have won the hearts of the ' nennle " Let us trv this statement. The mistake of the Union has been in consid ering the results of the recent elections as triumphs of the Democracy They were the triumplis of the Compromise. North and South, with a few exceptions, the can didates were elected who were supposed to be most friendly to the Compromise sav ing in two or three States hopelessly fanat ical or deceived. When Congress came together, the only point of party union or slrcnth the only question of immediate and urgent party interest was the Com promise. The' Democratic centre nan claimed all along to be the best friends of the Compiomise. They had proclaimed that President Fillmore could not be trusted to carry out his own policy. With these feelinsrs "Congress came together. The. Democratic Congressional Caucus was held, and the Free soil faction of the North, in league with the Secessionists, drove the Democratic centre to the wall. The Buffalo Convention ists had full swing in the caucus, and put down Messrs. Polk, Gorman, Bayly, and the whole Compro mise strength of the party. Then followed the reamrmance ot the Compromise policy by President Fillmore in his annual message, and its endorsement bv the Whisr Congressional Caucus. From that moment a paralysis seizeu upon me Democratic party, and from that moment "hope elevated and joy brightened" the crest of die Whigs. The Democrats with in little more than three months, have as sumed a new position , for which the peo- nle have withdrawn their confidence, and A. ... . t ! 1 . I f the Whigs have more aisuncriy anu jyr mallv taken their stand on the Compro mise, nolicv of a Whiff President. This accounts for the "great peril" of the Dem ocratic party, a peril which cannot be Over come by any eleventh hour dodges of Mr. Fitch. Ueatnoeu penitence cannoi save them. Abolition and secession are on the back of the "Democracy" mastering it -sruidine it bound to triumph or tall with it. Meanwhile the Whig party, stripp ed of its fatal incumbrances, standing out nationalized, patriotic and united, planting itself upon the ground or tne vv nigaamin istration and the Whig Caucus, rallies the people to a decisive victor)' over Abolition ized and Secessionized Democracy. In resard to the extraordihary letter Of Mr. Buchanan, which furnishes the Union with the. text for its political homilv : it is funny, very funny, to hear an old double dyed Federalist, who would have "fet ev- ery drop or Democratic Dioou out or nis veins," talk of the fundamental and "time-honored principles which have di vided lis from our opponents since tnooe- rtning!" This is capital the best joKe of the day. Mr. Buchanan then goes on to state what the Democracy must "in scribe on their banners" in a style that must amuse Young America beyond tell ing. "Douglas and the spoils !" is an in scription that will laugh to scorn "Buch anan and rigid economy," We think we can see the Democracy dividing on these points Douglas carrying the day without a count, and Buchanan, literally nowhere. xupwiw. From South America. -Contradiction of the Defeat of Urquiza, The fol lowing extracts from the Journal of Com merce'of Rio de Janeiro of 12th January, received by the bark Baltimore at this port frnm Rio the 14th of that month,) com- nletelv refute the reports of General Urqui za's defeat, as lately published in the New Vnrlc naners. and lead to 'the belief that the Liberatins army will be ultimately successful, as there appears to be great dis affection towards Rosas, the important city of Santa Fe having declared against him: "The. arrival yesterday of the Lnglish packet Prince, from Buenos Ayres and Montevideo, brinrrs us dates "-from the lat ter to 6th hist, at night, and LSuenos .ayres , j . . n i to 4th inst.

"The Dossession of the province of San ta Fe is of the greatest importance to the r.iheratino- Armv in a military point of view, as it separates all the other provinces from Buenos A vres. " When the Prince left Buenos Ayres, on the 4th, they were ignorant of the oc currences in Santa Fe. "Among the Allied forces there was the sreatest enthusiasm and good feeling.

This resolution was earnestly opposed, as a dissolution of the Southern Rights party, and an adoption of the Georgia platform. It was supported by Messrs. Buford, Yancy, Elmore.and others. Asubstitute was accept ed, which modified the language in some respects, but was considered to amount to the same practically.
