A great -many contradictory and half contradictory statements have found their way into some of the newspapers, rela tive to the position and exact state of the Nicaragua, or Mosquito question, as be tween the United Mates. You will be apt to find the true state of the case to be, that our Government, hold-, ing to the doctrine proclaimed by Presi dent Monroe, that ! no further European encroachments or colonization, upon this continent,- must be submitted to or allow ed, has promptly sent instructions to that end and purport, both to our Ministers at London and our Charge de Aaflaires at ; Nicaragua. ! The supposition that 1 Gen. Tavlor has declared veibally, or proclaimed" through official despatches, that he has taken his stand against the conduct of Great Britain in foisting the -Indian-boylting upon the British-made thronepf the Mosquito coun try, and jwill maintain that stand at all hazards, risbuCa suposition and very idle one at that. - The Union editors profess to hope that our government will stand firmly up to the Monroe, Jackson and Polk doctrine in this matter, and if so, they will sustain it! Here them talk, in their paper of yester day : ..

But the American people will not sustain any aaminisiraiion that is willing to escape ! a rupture witn any European power by such conduct.' does the Union place Mr, Polk in the company of Mr. Monroe and General Jackson, in this matter?

AU.such un natural alliances for the achievement of temporary victories nevetcarry with them any permanent cordiality any ' of that true harmony and mutual confidence which spring from souni principles and honorable alliance. Whle the Barnburn ens keep their flag proudfy waving to the breeze, how can we Hunkers fraternize, with them? At the head ofthe Glqbe i$ the call ofthe Democratic general corh mittee, signed Emanuel Hart, and beneath it is the call of another Democrat ic general committee; signed Anthony J.

"a burning and shining light,' as they say in scripture a good fellow, but crazy as a coot on free-soil. Oil all the committees the Barn burners have' d ovetailed their men with those ofthe Hunkers, and a little above the notch, although the disparity between them is twenty to one. We may pour o.l on vinegar, but it requires great shaking to blend tegether. Another unlucky omen is, that the right kind of men are not there. The bone and sinew ofthe Democratic party have not yet made their appearances They hang fire. Thev do not. as in the j French Chamber of Deputies, cry 7bo lain w mm them the cry is, "JToo early!" The wounds are too deep, too painful, too withering for a healing balm. The Barn burners cry out, "No slavery in free ter ritories!,f The Hunkers reply, "No new political issues! No new questions! The old platform or none atW And here they both stand, looking daggers at each other. A very pretty union, we must coniess. It needs no ghost to tell us that the Van Buren dynasty is in full feather. They intend to rule in Tammany, and vnll rule, if they are permitted so to do by the old Democracy.- N Y. Sunday Times. Mr. RITCHIE IN MISSISSIPPI. The Monroe Democrat, a nrominent Urn. foco paper in the State of Mississippi, dig. gusted with the scurrility and political debauchery that daily fill the columns of the Union in this city, thus rebukes its ed- iters: v "It seems to us that the Washington 'Union is daily lessening its hold u&rKn confidence ofthe couutry by its low and , o:n...i.. u -l- i. .'v ' ' ; a. sihlcicij ucneve, Unainiheu i tacks upon the opposition."

We take the following extract from a letter in the New Orleans Picayune, dated Tiger Island, (Attakapas,) Berwick's Bay St. Mary's Parish, Sept. 22, 1S49: j "An old man, who was a planter j near this, died the other day, leaving, it is said, in money, landed estate and negroes, near ly $200,000. He came to this country poor, and by a course of miserly penuri- ousness amassed his wealth. He dressed worse than his negroes, and some years before his death he had his coffin made of rough, undressed plank, in which were found, after his death, some two or three thousand dollars in gold, Secreted in the ceiling of the house was found $45,000 in gold, and in an iron chest, also, a! very large amount in gold and paper. He lived on Bayou Bceuf, and his remains were brought over to this island and buried in a I mound, according to his directions, where some of his children had been buTied. He - was -put in this roug coffin and ferried over in a flat, two or three boats following in the funeral train, if it could be called such. Hardly a dozen persons attended his funeral, .and he was silently put into the grave without a sigh or a tear of regret without even a pray er said over him for the redemption of his soul. Such was the funeral of a wealthy man. It is said he was very eccentric, and that he viewed all promp and show as 'he vanities ot life. I can well con ceive that a man might become so soured against the world as to despise its many outward exhibitions, and hate its hollow hearted 'shows of grief,' with its 'trappings and its suits of woe.' . If I have done him injustice, then, I hope his spirit will have generosity enough -to forgive the ; error which his course of life has engendered." Republic ' . THE DEVIL'S FRUIT. Potatoes were first introduced at Mos cow by a Mr. Rowland, about sixty years ago. At first the people would neither plajit them nor touch them; saying they were the devil's fruit, given to him on his complaining to God that he had no fruit, when he was told to search in the earth for some, which he did, and found pota toes. A curious Berwickshire legened, which, however, is palpably anachronical attributes the introduction of potatoes into Scotland to that famous wizard ofthe north Sir Michael Scott. The wizard and the dev heing in partnership, took a lease of farm on the Mertoun estates called j Whitehousel. The wizard was to manage tne arm' tne clev advanced the capital. The produce was to be divided as follows: 1 The first year Sir Michael was to have all liL.i i ik j j u: . . i at-illiaiol auuvc mc giuuiiu, auu iiii pari - ner all that grew below; the second year their shares were to be just the oppbsit way. His Satannic majesty, as is usual in such cases, was fairly overreached in his bargain; for the wizard cunningly sow ed all the land the first year with wheat, and planted it with potatoes the secebnd; so that the devil got nothing for his share but wheat-stubble and potatotops: and this scourging rotation Sir Michael continued until he not only beggared his partner, but exhausted the soil. In snite of this legend, however, we must continue . i - to for give credit to Sir Walter Raleigh having been the introducer of potatoes ! in to tnis country. I he first thattned them, we are told, fell into the very natural rhis take of eating the apples, and disregarding the roots. -Shields Guz. fi" It is stated in a recently published numerical system of the universe, which is tp supersede that of La Placej that tt?n? square ofthe numberof a primary planet's day in its year, is as the cube of theldi ameter of its sphere of attraction in the nebular hypothesis." We have not the slfghest doubt of it? Can any thing be phbre limplef fi The opposition journals, some time fince, made themselves mWoverthe wllv invention of some decapitated Locofocos ex- mailers unuct msuwwivu. vui a n? a silent vote. There was no foundation for such a story; but "nevertheless it. suited the purposes of those, whose object it ,was to effect party capital out of the matter,' and to expose the imbecility (as they thought) of the honest old Patriot, who presides orer the Government of the Country. j We were some what'surprised, on looking over a Yohime of Mi: Jstfersom's . published letters) a few days 'since, to find that! the usage, in the days of his Presidency, was precisely 6uch"as thaf whichls hetd "up aa'an evidence of weakness and incapacity id the present Executive. We quote an extract from a letter addressed to William Short, and dated Washington, June 12, 1807." Perhaps the wise-acres of the Locofoco Press may now think such a mode of procedure not so dis creditable, after all : j "The proposition in your letter of May! the 16th, of adding an umpire to our discordant negotiators at Paris, struck me favorably on reading it, and reflection afterwards strength ened my first impressions.; I made it there fore a subject of consultation with my coadjutors,-as is our usage. For our government, although in theory subject to be directed by the unadvised will ofthe President, is, and from its origin has, been, a very different thing in practice. The minor business in each department is done by the Head of the department, on consultation with the Presi dent alone. But all matters of importance or difficulty are Submitted to all the Heads of departments composing the cabinet; some times by ther Predsienfs consulting them separately and successively, as they happen to call on him; but in the ' greatest cases, by calling them together, discussing the subject maturely, and finally taking the vote; in which the President counts himself as one. So that in all important cases the executive is, in fact, a directory, which certainly the President might control, but of this there was never an example either in. the first or the present ad ministration.7' Raleigh Register. LOCOFOCO DESCENCY. The fierceness and malignancy of the op position to the present Administration is un paralleled, as any one may see who reads the Union, and the generality of the Loco foco papers, with a few honorable exceptions. The writers for those papers , are mostly discharged office holders, and they remind one of nothing so mjach as a pack of half famished wolves, in full pursuit of somewhat to feed upon. Their conduct is forcibly de picted in the following letterf from Washing ton to the Baltimore American, which dis closes a fact not before known, that even the ladies of Gen. Taylor's family are not exempt from insult: ," r "The., same selfish and corrupt spirit hat marked every means used by the enemies of the Administration in their opposition to it. Discarding every thing like principle, they have descended to the petty guerilla system of personal abuse. One falsehood has scarce ly been nailed to the counter before another of the same spurious coin is uttered from this, rich mint of mendacity. No act ofthe President or of a member of his Cabinet, whether public or private, has any merit in their estimation. They stop at no falsehood however mean no calumny however malig nant no language however vile and vitupe rative. Contemptible scribblers, such as "Heroic Age," not content with abusing the President in the public prints, have even invaded the sanctuary of his family, and every day thrust upon him letters with ficti tious signatures", filled with the most billings gate. compound of personal abuse and insult. Nor do they stop even here. The ladies of the Presidential mansion have had addressed to them almost daily, letters containing the most offensive and obscene language which a fiend can indite, until they can scarcely dare to open a letter which is not from a well known and familiar hand. Such a mode of warfare may -possibly seem justifi able to those whose moral sense, is blunted by the determination to oppose the Admin istration, whether ngnt or wrons. "to the bitter end;f' but honest and well meaning men of all parties cannot but condemn a course pf conduct so shocking to descency and morality." Ral. Register. The Union is suddenly afflicted with a new-born sympathy for the merchants of New York. It says Gen. Taylor's foreign policy has "alarmed" them excessively, and predicts their flight for safely to the arms of the Loco Focos.. Does it think they have forgotten the "perish : credit, perish commerce" proclamation of its party friend? The merchants of Ne w York have no interests and no inconsistent with the honor and the rights of their country; -and they know that, these are safe in the hands of Gen. Taylor. JV. Y. Courier. . The Election in Maryland has resulted in the choice of three Whig and three Loco Foco Congressmen, a Whig loss of one; in the State Senate the Whigs have a majority of 7; and in the House about 14. This secures the election of a Whig U. S. Senator in place of Hon. Reverdy Johnson. N. Y. Courier. When has the Democratic press been guilty of misrepresenting and defaming Gen. Taylor, as the pri luiwepre sented -and deiamed the character of An- UKirw Jackson?-Wash. Union.' - This is the coolest piece of impudence we have ever seen, even in the "central pfgan." .

' r - A ' correspondent' of the 'NJ Y: Courier; states that in August last, the r second Comptroller of the Treasury examined the ; accounts oi Hon. Isaac Hill, late pension agent at Concord, New Hampshire, which, examination proved that gentleman a de-. faulter to the government, in the sum of $13,000. The third Auditor was there upon instructed to demand of Mr. Hiil immediate payment of the amount, and, in case of refusal,, to furnish a1 transcript, of his accounts for suit. i ! The Union is respectfully informed that, the paragraph reccommending the proic. cusion of that print for its infamous libels on General Taylor, never appeared in the : Courier and Enquirer to which it is accredit ed. We have not the slightest doubt that a suit for libel could be manifested, but we do not believe that any damages could be proved. The outrageous assaults ofthe Union upon the character of the President are undoubtedly most offensive to every feeling of justice and propriety, and ace " calculated to disgrace the country and es pecial the press in the eyes of foreigners. But beyond this, neither Geh. Taylor nor the country has the slightest reason to complain of them. They cannot fail to awaken a sense of justice throughout the country which will cause them to react with double force on their authors and on the party by whom they are encouraged. We should be very sorry to see them made the subject of legal prosecution, or even of complaint in any shape. N. Y. Couiitr.
