Were it purely a defence we should publish it with pleas- payraent, contemplates a tax of not more than 25 per cent to be levied on the State upon the claims of the citizens of the United States, under the treaty of Guada- loupe Hidalgo, I directed a list to be made out of papers which had been sent to that Commission, and pursuant to the act ofCon- gress, approved March 3, 1840, the papers themselves to be carefully arranged and de posited for safe keeping in the Department ot State. I deemed all this necessarv, as well for the interest of the claimants as to secure the Government against fraudulent claims, which might be preferred hereafter. A few days since, I was surprised to learn that some of these papers had been fraudu lently abstracted by one of the claimants; and upon the case made known to me by the Secretary of State, I referred it to the Attorney General, for the purpose of ascer taining what punishment could be inflicted upon the person who had been guilty of the offence. I now communicate to you his opinion, and that of the Attorney of the United States for this District, by which you will perceive that it is doubtful whether there be any law for punishing the very grave offence of fraudulently abstracting or mutilating the papers and public document 8 in the several departments of this Govern ment. It appears to me that the protec tion of. the public records and papers re quires that such acts should be made penal ami a suitable punishment inflioted upon the offender; and I therefore bring the sub ject to your consideration, to enable you to act upon it, should you concur with me in this opinion. (Signed) MILL AH D FILLMORE. Washington, March 26, 1852. The papers taken appear to have been copies of In voices, Manifests, Bills of Ltd ng Letters, &c., and a Deposition; and were clandestinely abstracted from the possession of a Clerk in the Department of State, who backcharge of the books and papers of the late Board of Commioners. The Attorney General, after examining the laws, states, as his opinion, that the of fence is not contemplated by any act of Congress, and therefore is not punishable. The District Attorney gives his opinion, that the offence is not punishable, except as a larceny, and cites various English au thorities and decisions,, to show that an in dictment will lie against the party for steal ing so many pieces of paper, as goods and chattels; and refers to a decision by fifteen English Judges, in 1845, that it is not ne cessary that an article taken should have any general value, provided that it was of value to the owner. A contrary doctrine, however, he says, was held by the Supreme Court of New' York, ini 840.

We should Withdrawal.—James M. Smythe, Esq., has withdrawn from the Augusta ‘‘Consti tutionalist & Republic,” and is associated with Maj. Whyte in the “Home Gazette.” The withdrawal was not occasioned by any disagreement between Mr. Smythe and Mr. Gardner, but the health of Mr. S., which had been much impaired by the arduous labors of a daily press. We have frequently commended the “Home Gazette” to the public, as being one among the best literary papers in the South; the association of Mr. Smythe with it, wiil greatly advance its popularity and useful ness. We trust that the editors will be amply recompensedin endeavoring to main tain a publication so much needed ir our State. The price of this paper is $2 in ad vance.

There were four persons in all, and it is thought the powder ignited while those in the boat were pre paring to make a blast on the rocks. The men were supposed to have been instantly killed. About three hours after the above was received, the following additional report was sent to us: The schr. Uncle Joe, Capt. Butler, has just arrived from Portland, Ct. Those on board witnessed the explosion of Mons. Maillefert’s boat, which was employed by him in blasting the rocks at Hurlgate, and which contained five persons including Prof. M. Mr. J. White, the pilot who brought the Uncle Joe up to the city, states that five persons were in the boat when the explossion occurred, and that two were killed, while the remaining three were sad ly mutilated, and were taken ashore ir. boats as soon as possible. One ot the kill ed had his head torn from his body. Of those that survived were Prof. Maillefert and foreman, name not aicertained.

Mouse Colored.—-Dry goods stores are some times the.scene of ludicrous conversations. The other "day a young lady stepped into a well known establishment in town, and in quired of a handsome cleik, ’’Sir have.you any mouse-colored ladies gloves?”. “Mouse-colored ladies, miss?” “Yes—assort of gray—just the color of your drawers there;” meaning the store drawers, which were painted gray. ■“My draweis, miss‘” ejaculated the young man, glanciug downward at his dress to see if everything Was right and tight; “My drawers, miss! why I don,t wear any!" The young lady was carried home on a :shutter, ' ted by one hundred and twelve Delegates. The Convention passed a series of reso lutions, embracing the old doctrines of the party, with a submission to the Compro mise.

A friend who was present at a recent ad dress, delivered at Huntsville, (Ala.) by Gen eral Sam Houston, informs us, that Gen. H. stated a fact which seems to be not geuerallf known—to-wit: that the State of Texas, years ago, passed an act, giving to the next of kin of each soldier who fell in that massacre, sixteen hundrd acres, of land to be located on any of the unappropriated public lands belonging to that State. He re quested those present to give as much pub licity to the fact as possibie. In a conver sation with our informant, after the speech was delivered Gen. Houston recommended him to call attention of the people of Geor gia to the fact, as very many Fannin’s men were from this State, and the information would probaly benefit the heirs of those ill- fated heroes. We hope out cotemporares of the press in Georgia, will give this subject a suitable uotice in their columns.— Const. & Republic. ‘Jake,’ said an old farmer, one day to one of his mowers, ’do you know how manv horns there are in a dilemma?’ i ‘No replied Jake,” but l know how many horns there are in a quart of whiskey.’ Washington National Monument ) Office, March 25, 2852. f From the great decrease in the receipts of contributions to the National Monument during the last six months, the Board of Managers feel it to be their duty to make another appeal to the patriotism of the Am erican public. They are unwilling to be lieve that the people of this country under such deep and lasting obligations as they are to the founder of their liberties and feeling, as they must, a profound sense of gratitude for the inestimable services which he rendered to them, will suffer a monu ment commenced in his honor, and to aid in perpetuating his name to the lates ages of the world, to remain unfinished for the want of the means necessary to complete it. It need scarcely be suggested that a fact like this in the history of our Republic would not fair to reflect lasting discredit on the gratitude and patriotism of its citizens, and prove to the world that republics are too apt to be forgetful of what is doe to themselves and to the memory of those who, under Providence, have made them great, prosperous, and happy. It i3 often the fate of the most distinguished and illus trious to be nearly forgotten after they have mouldered in the tomb for half a century. In the busy and ever changing scenes of the world the stage of life is continuously occupied by those whose acts excite the in terest of the livings and exclude the memo ry of such as have preceded them, though their reputation may have been more brill iant, and their deeds more glorious. But is was believed that Washington was one to whom the American people owed the greatest and most lasting debt of gratitude, and to whose memory every honor should be paid by his countrymen; tbat to honor him was but to honor themselves; and that th iy were willing and desirous to pay a i at tribute to preeminent patriotism, and to unequalled public and private virtue. Under this impression a society was es tablished, some seventeen years ago, in the ■ city of Washington, for the purpose of erec ting a magnificent monument to the “Fath er of his Country;” and the Board ot Mana gers of tn at Society have during that long interval, made gratuitously every effort in their power, from a pure feeling of patriot ism and a desire to honor bis. memory, ol its organization. By unceasing and untir ing exertion they have succeeded in collec ting a sum sufficient only to carry up the proposed structure to an elevation of one hundred and five feet above the surface, a- bout one-fifth of its intended elevation; and thev now regret to say that unless tbe con tributions are larger, and more frequent than they have been for the past six months, it will be impossible to continue the work any further. The blocks of stone which have been sent from the different States, associations, <fcc„ to be placed in the monu ment, have done but little to add to its el evation, though they may contribute to its interest. Tbat the public may understand how expensive such a structure must ne cessarily be, it may be proper to state that each course of two feet in height cost up- wardsof $2,000, though executed with the strictest regard to ecouomy. The materials and labor, with a small annual compensa tion allowed to the superintendent, and a Hill smaller to the architect, amount to the expenditure which has been mentioned; and the Board of Managers are well satis fied that, had the work been undertaken by the Government, it would have cost double the amount of the cost of the obelisk so far. From two to three courses can be com pleted in a month, which require from four to six thousand dollars, while the mouthly contributions have not averaged tor the past half year more than two thousand dollars. It will, therefore, be obvious that the woik must necessarily be stopped if a more ar dent and patriotic feeling does not prevail among the people of this country, aud a more extended and liberal contribution be not made. To show with what case this great object could be effected, it is only necessary to state, that three cents from each white in habitant of the United States would be sufficient to complete the monument in a few years; and yet such appears to be the apathy and indifference existing in relation to this noble undertaking, that even that even that small sum cannot be obtained for so patriotic and glorious a purpose. Iu Norway, the three-fourths of the a- mount necessary to erect a monument in honor of Charles XII. was raised lately by voluntary contributions in two days; while in the Republic of the United States, brought into existence by the valor, perse verance, energy, and patriotism of Wash ington—in a nation which now contains a population of nearly twenty-million of souls enjoying a freedom, independence, and prosperity nowhere else to be found—one fifth only of the amount required to com plete a monument worthy of the man in whose honor it is now being erected, has, after the most unceasing efforts for seven teen years, been contributed. To the peo ple; the army, aud navy. Masonic, Odd Fellows, and other associations, the colie ges, accademies, and schools of the United States, banking institutions; city and town corporations, &c., applications urgently re questing pecuniary aid have been made by circulars addressed to all, and still the con tributions received have been insufficient to raise the monument beyond its present ele vation. This is a painful and mortifying fact. It will now become the duty of the different States of the Union to show the interest they feci in this noble undertaking and to evince the estimation and respect in which the hold the character and servi ces of Washington, by contributing to the completion of his monument, that the States as well as the people may have the honor of raising a structure to his memory which will be an imperishable memorial of their veneration and gratitude.

The bill for this purpose, finally passed both Houses of Congress on Thursday, and will, no doubt receive the approval of the President.—It must give increased value to the warrants, as it will facilitate the loca tion of them on the pubic land. The bill provides that the assignment may be made by deed or instrument of writing, according to such form, and pursuant to such regula tions as maybe prescribed by the Commis sioner of the General Land Office, so as to vest the assignee with all the right of the origional owners of the warrants or loca tion. The benefits of the original act, with the supplement, are eztended to the officers and soldiers of any militia, volunteers or troops, who were called into military service, and whose services have been paid by tbe United States subseqent to the eighteenth of June eighteen hundred and twelve. The following are the provisions of the bill for locating the warrants: Any person entitled to pre-emption right to any land shall be entitled to use any such land warrants, in payment of tbe same, at $1,25 per acre, for the quantity of land therein specified: Pr&vided t That tbe war rants which have been or may hereafter be issued in pur*uance of said laws or of this act, raaj be located, according to tbe legal subdivisions of the pubic lands, in one body upon any lands oftne United States, sub ject to ] iivate entry at tbe time of such lot a ion, at the minimum price: Provided, further, That, when said warrants shall be located on lands which are subject to entry at a great* r minimum than $1,25 per acre tbe locator of said warrants shall pay to the United States, in cash the difference be tween tbe value of such warrants at $1,25 per acre, and the tract of land located on at Slavery Resolutions of Massathusetl —The following resolutions have been in troduced into the legislature of Massaelm- ebusetts, but not acted upon : Whereas it has been tbe custom of Mas sachusetts in times past, to express to the general government and to her lister States- her wishes and tbe purposes regarding mat ters which deeply concern tbe general wel fane: and Wheareas, tbe principles upon which ihe permanence of tbe Union and tbe lib erties of its citizens depend, have been put in hazard by a series of measures known as tbe compromise "acts : and Whereas it has been claimed that this series ofmeasurts has by general consent of the people been adopted as a filial and irrevocable compact, be it therefore, Resolved, That Massachusetts has not changed tbe principles she has repeatedly affirmed in relation, to the institution which should be confined te* tire States where it exist, subject to no-control, and that Con gress has no right to involve- the fr< e States- in its shame, or iu its guilt, by laws de signed to countenance, perpetuate,, or. ex tend it.

Resolved, That Massachusetts protests against the delivery into slavery of men found upon her soil, and under the jurisdic tion of her laws, in the actual enjoyment of freedom; especially without due process of law, and without a trial by jury before a legally constituted judicial tribunal.

Imports of Dry Goods.—Ne have com piled our usual monthly summary of the imports of Foreign Dry Good at this port, although the month has not yet expired, in order to make a comparison with the corres ponding period of last year, the statements being kept in seven weeks. The resultshows a decline in the imports entered during the month of $253,742, and an increase in the amount thrown upon the market of $153,- 353. The increase in the latter item has been caused partly by the reduction of the stock in warehouse—the falling off in the receipts making it neefisssry to draw more closely upon the reserved invoices; and part ly by the order of the Secretary of the Treas ury, withholding the usual option of con tinuing goods in warehouse beyond the first year, if likelv to be vranted.Tor consump tion here.-—W. * Y.
