Richmond, June 12tb, 1847, Mr Dear Sir Your letter of the 12th May, accompanying an invitation from tho Committee of Correspondence, "to attend a Northwestern Harbor and River Convention to be held in Chicago on the first Monday in July next," was duly re ceived, and its not being answered at an earlier day, arose from the earnest bop that I had indulged, (notwithstanding the great distance from home) that I should have been able to accept the invitation, and to bavo been with you on that inter esting occasion in person, as 1 shall be in feeling and principle. 1 am lorry, however, to say, that just now it seem to be altogether impracticable. Nevertheless, at a future day, and up on a different theatre, I hope to have it ri my power to render you more efhesent aid, than I could in your proposed Con Convention. - vention. Convention. On the subject of these Nation Nation-si - si Nation-si improvements, I have no morbid sen - sibilities, I labor under ne constitutional difficulties, and I indulge no metaphysic al abstractions; for in my judgment we should have bemowed very unmerited eulogy upon the wisdom of the illustri illustrious - ous illustrious dead, the framers and builders of that godlike instrument, V which our govern government - ment government owes its existence, if they had neg neglected - lected neglected to confer upon the Representa Representatives - tives Representatives of all the interests, of all the people in the land the power to protect the prop property - erty property of those same people, by removing obstruction to navigation, constructing and improving Harbors, and erecting Light Houses, as well within 'our own territory as well as beyond it as well upon the River and Lake navigation aa upon the high Seas as well upon the Mississippi as upon the Lakes and aa well upon the shores of Lake Michigan as upon the Atlantic const, provided the "commerce of the several States" in the language of the Constitution should ren der it necessary and expedient. That they did not neglect, but fully provided for the exercise of this indispensible pow er, is clear to my mind, ana uowmucn more would it have become an enlight ened and civilized Government, and hor much more our individual and National . prosperity would have been advanced by the expenditure ofthe untold millions in the accomplishment of such works, than by indiscriminate and wholesale slaugh ter of a defenceless and unoffending race of semi-barbarians, whose chief cause at least, (as will be found) consisted in own ing territory that "must be acquired" un under - der under the guise of "Indemnity," is a ques question - tion question that time will determine, and that the people of all classes and- of all par parties - ties parties will have an opportunity of under understanding - standing understanding and appreciating, before we get " through with and recover trom, tne enecta of this horrible and most unnecessary and iniquitous war. Yet it ia pretended that he who can make war, after two bloody battles bave been fought, communicate its existence to Congress, and thereby himself escape the responsibility: who can, through his subordinates, annex territory, and dis dismember - member dismember empires, and establish civil Go- - vernment; swear in citizens by the whole wholesale, - sale, wholesale, require thero to take iba oath of al- legience to the United States, try them by a drum-head Court Martial, and hang them up in six hours, as rebels or traitors; . . t.

Written for the UN. Y. Spirit of the. Times" Abuul Billy M'Daniels and So On. BY TllOMAS THE RHYMER.-''' . Many years ogotherelivedoponone of llie ronds leading to Nashville, a fat well to-do, jolly inn-keeper by the name of Billy M'Dahiels. This said Billy was a man of substance in estate and person; and moreover, being piously inclined was a deacon of the church. He was very much liked in spue of some peculiarities, and liis house was a fuvorite stopping place for nil lawyers who went by that road to Nashville during Court time. Among these last were Felix Grundy, Thomns H. Benton, Hoys, theAttoruey theAttoruey-General, - General, theAttoruey-General, Sam Houston idgenuiomnc , M ' Daniels or rather M' Dunnels, for hi s neighbors always knocked tho "i' out of his name was'possessed of a very even temper, except in-' one matter. Colonel Thompson could not abide a reference to Merino sheep Billy M'Dauiels was e e-quail - quail e-quail y sore on the subject of buying his own cow. J. tie why. ana wlieretore ol this, it is necessary I should tell you be fore I come to my main yarn. - lou must have the glass shivered, before you tan got the real out of our bottle. - Unce upon a time a party ot jolly fellows coming up the road, .on a dark evening, observed a fine Tat cow at the road side, patiently recumbent ami con contentedly - tentedly contentedly chewinghercud. The foremost man dismounted, and stirring up the vac cine lady, drove her before him to Mc- Daniels door, which was about tour hun dred yards from where they found the cow. Biily was at the porch talking with a neighbor, and greeted the new comers. How uro you gentlo;i?t driving a cow home, ehl" . . ' ' . ' Oh," answerd the foremost, "it's a cussed brute. I brought down to Nash ville, for aunt Martin, wav over yander. She's got some ofthe Dunumin her they say but dern her, &he s gin me more trouble nor fifty cows and I've got nine miles as you know to drive her.' Rot my skin ef I wouldn't sell her for what she'd fetch to get rid o' the critter. I wouldn't drive her a mile further to save her life, ef I could sell her." ' " "And so you's Sally Martin's nevy.is youl Nice old woman Sally Martin, 's everdraw'd on a shift. What'd ye ask for tho cowl" . . And Billy inspected the animnl by the dim light thrown from the door and win win-dowsof - dowsof win-dowsof his own house. "Why, I'd take anything, a'most. I'll tell ye what it is, Billy, there's six on us here, sharp set for a bust. - Ef you'll gin us as much as we can tuck under our lin- sey, in toddy and chicken-Axens, from now till mornin', the cow's your'n." It's a barn-am! said Billy who order ed one of his boys to drive the animal into a stall. - 1 he party adjourned to the house, where they kept it up till near morning, when they departed, oblivious of cows and care to parts unknown. The next day, bright and early, Florin Florin-da, - da, Florin-da, Billy's colored girl went into the sta stable - ble stable to drive out the new cow and milk her. Presently, she returned with her eyes dilated to their utmost extension. "Why", laws a massy, Missus," cried she, "dat new cow Mahsler's went an' bought's Brolcly." "It can't be," replied Mrs. M'Daniels. Mr. M'Duniela wouldn't buy his own cow, 1 reckon. , "Well, Missus, lest you come see. Ef you don't say 'is Brokly, den dis colored p;al don t know nulhii, at s all. - , 'And Florinda leading the way, Mrs. M U, made a visit to the cow, and be came a convert. Off sho went to her husband, who was busy . talking to a cus tomer. '-."' ' ' "Why, Lord bless me, Mr. M'Daniels, what on the face ol the. terrakyus yarth were you about! That thar new -cow's Brokly!" . , ' - "What put that in yourheadl" "Jest you go we, Mr. M'Daniels." He did go eee, and became convert No. 2, to tho Florinda theory. Maybe he didn't pitch. The story got wind: and was the theme ofthe whole county, much to Billy's chagrin.. - - And now to tell of Billy's first effort as a Temperance lecturer. One day in autumn, tho day previous to Court week, bam Houston, then Cow nel, and. a practitioner at the Tennessee bar. came alone to co to Uourt. -Un his way he stopped at the residonceof Hays then Attorney General, who lived some miles above W Daniels, and who was usually Sam'a companion down. Hays was a man ot much talent but rather lazy and if feeling unwell, prone to exaggerate the extent of his sickness, bo lie told Houston that privato business engaged his attention uiiavouledly, and said he "I- wish you'd attohd to my cases till 1 hursduy. 1 teel so sick that 1 can t git down til! then, and you may as well prose cute as not. : ," Well," replied Houston, "I'll take your place' until Thursday; but if you don t como then 1 II drop all your cases. "Oh, I'll be there on Thursday, suro.' On rode Houston until he came to M Daniols', -where he dismounted. ..You must know that Sam was a kind of gallant, nay fellow, in those days a prime favor ite with overy one, ladies especially and . his presence was always hailed with delight. " ' ' ' . M'Daniels shook his guest by the hand "Glad to see you, Cumel Sam, as ef I'd found a dollar. Come in and take some thinir. Mrs. Mac'll be clad to see you Mrs. M Daniels came for a momont from the kitchen, took a handshake, and dar ted back again. M'Daniels wont on "But whar s Mr. Hays that he sin t a long with vert". . , Houston s countenance Jell. -, "0 "Why, you don't say he ain't sickt ' "He says he's sick! " roplied Houston "Why, now! what do you meanr " i ."Mr. M'Daniels," said. Houston, with agraye tone and , manner, "did it ever occur to you that Mr. Hays was a little too

Is court week, and he ought to be in IV ashville to-day, do nl believe he It be able to get there 'till Thursday. It is a pity that people will drink to excess.'" "flow you really the man with the poker, ehl It's a pity it is Why don't you speak to him, Curnel Samt He thinks n power o you. ' "It requires some older man, Mr. M' M'-Dannels. - Dannels.

If a man of sober habits of high social standing a member of meeting yourself, for instance, were to say something in a friendly way it might be lirouuctive ot a deal of effect, The excessive use of ardent spirits clouds tho mental and benumbs tho moral faculties generates a lossoftsclf-respect, and, if not speedily checked produce in the end, premature decay, disease and death." "Eh! what's that, Curnel Sam." " "I was observing, Mr. M'Daniels, tlint the excessive use of ardent spirits clouds the mental and benumbs the moral fac faculties - ulties faculties generutes a loss of self respect; and if not speedily checked, produces, in the end, premature decay, dtsoase and eath. "I'll do it, Curnel Sam," shouted Billy, I'll do it I'll speak to him. 'Ginerales iW yes; I will 'premature decay' 'II talk to him what'll you take now duease and death. Houston "imbibed," and gettingonhis orse rodo to Nashville,, waiting until out f hearing to give vent to a shout of laugh ter as in his mind's eye he pictured Billy iving it strong to Hays. , Ihursday came - rather cool day aud Hays came with it, stopping at M'Dan M'Dan-nel's - nel's M'Dan-nel's as a matter of course. . -, "Ah, Billy, dow d'ye do--how ore you. You look fine . and healthy give us a toddy, Jiilly." "1 ou ve been sick Mr. Hnyes, Ilearn." 'Yes; quite an attack just able to get to business but hurry on that toddy. Billy and make it pretty hot. Why on t you keep more fire?" : "1 don't think, Mr. Hayes, that a toady would be good for you." "Why, coutound it I you re not my octor. No nonsense get us the toddy ready." "Mr. Hayes! exclaimed Billy, using; the toddy stick as a kind of truncheon.

" "But, Mr. Hayes, the excessive use " "If you say another word of that " "But, Mr. Hays, consider your nairer escape What the u 1 are you driving at, you pudding headed old blockhead!"
