* • __ Elg.lt Ihr wreck nj the ‘l'ivo Pollies■ I RoCKAWAY. I.- 1.. rtl*|ll. Ifi, 1837. J To the Editors of (he S. 1 ork Dailey Express- I got one of your |rper* m ivlncli you printed mv lasi letter to “ Unrle Sam,” anil when readin un'i, il was foi innately for von that yon whs twen ty miles oil'—tor I nevei tliil see such tarnal wink as you made of Siio< w parts of my It'tier. How ever, all I’ve pot to say about il t-, if folks who read my letters in print, find any thing in ’em 111 it don't read smooth, and uint uorrecl as to dales and facts, they may set down against I lie p. inters. Il tv,is jest so once withs young Don* lor, a ftien.lol mine, iu Ilia Colars limes. He writ a lone letter once, ahoul how he cured lolks I v giving Calomel, he will “Calomel in doses every minute,” and the printers put it in print ” Calomel in doses every minute.” Up went C .looicl among the i'othec-trys —and down went toe poor sick folks. It warn! the Docloi's laull, for % il was all the primers, and little ”e.” Now alorc 1 trust yon with other mailers, I'll give you the priutiu of a story I have got In tell, and you may stick as many K’s and O'* I's into it as yon please, and I ilunt care what you make uo’t so long as folks take Ilia mother nil and hrain on't. It is a slory about ‘ Uncle Sam,’ and some of his capers among the women folks. • Uncle Sam,’ you know, always was a socia ble kind of kriitur, and Irom Ins first comin into life, never could get along well without liaviu Ins hull family shout him. allon ‘em given him ‘ a boost up ttie tree,’ but • Uncle Sam’ found ns ni ioy lolks do afore they gu gray, that unless he look a wile to take of Ills bullous and keep things slirk'd up ahoul house, lie would g> l into trouble and so forth. Well liter Iryin vaiions plans and secin a good deal of trouble one way and an other. lie mok advice some twenty years ago. aml got married to a smooth quiet qnaker Lilly, woilli 23 Millions nl dollars, and as Uncle Sam was considerable libeial in his way. he put into (lie family stock several iiiiluuts of dollars, (not in the • rale grit,’ however, Imt ultal he said then was just as good as * giil,') and ,n together they had do Millions. Well, do millions iv as no trifle, anti things went on smooth and slick for nigh upon 20 years, and every body said at h one anil, abroad, there never was a happier couple. Un cle Sam’s wife did all . wife could do, and tlio’ Uoclc Sam would once and a while, swell lip and talk big. his wife said nothin, toil kepi slichen up his breeches when he'd split ’em, hi and sew on Inn - tons when lie’ll iwicli'd'em off. Hut by and by * Uoclc Siam'got mix'd up with odd company, anil among oilier things that got a kink in Ins head in.lot Fanny Wright's doctrines llial a man of so much importnice liid'i.t ought lo slick lo one wife, hoi have as many asllie great Mogul.‘l swow.’ says Uncle fsam I'm n good mind tn’ry it. >o tie talked to other folks about it, and to rights thv galls got tiie notion too ; and then Uncle Sam got one Amns Keiulle to go round anil sound about, and sen il the gall* would stand the racket, and he come h ick and says lie. Unde Sam there’s no mistake about it ; the galls arc all ready and more than you can shake a stick at; and sure • noiigh just then the gals aII havm got the no tion gel, ihey praised up *• Uncle Sam and abused liis good old qnaker w .fe—O shaking ! there’s no leihti what they did'ut say ; and among oilier things they said Uncle S till's wife was—Ssliaw/! you dont siv so ! ! and ■■ mercy on us! ! Well tire next thing we see of Uncle Sa ■■ was be looked as tine as a fiddle—ruffles round both rods of his shirl, and sicii a captain as lie cut among his new wives for a spell, uevci vs as seen afore—and stch frolicks ! ! and all his own cioii les so busy as he was among ’em, till some folks begun In wmk and whisper llial Uncle Sun had wives emit lor himself and friends. Things went nil llius for inree years when Uncle iSam In gin (as most lolks do, when they git 100 iiittch ofag-nod ilmig) lo smell and led troubled; and iesi iiicw | got back from foreign parts and I met Unde Sain and il il had not been lor his bein my own relation and known him and lovin him, in any shape, as I do my o n father or mother ] never would have known him at all. Why says 1 Uoclc Sam is this you ? says I. I dont know, AI ijjr savs he; hut why do yon ask, don’t 1 look as mural as ever ? says he. And there lie stood, hnldiu his breeches up with Iruili hands, and ins elbows boll) torn out and a dirty shill sleeve pe pin fli r ougli, and holes in Ins slockins, and Ins all plastered over. Why says I Uncle Sam what in airih ails yon ? Come, say I. give me your hand my old Iriend, and let us talk it all over lo geiiier. I am sorry Major says he, 1 can’t shake hands with you just now, my hands are busy says lie. VVliat says I hidden the money aye. Uncle 8 no. boil* hands foil ns osu >1 says 1.

And won lhai / looked, uuil sure euuf, there never was a m in hi such a picket. Well says / Uncle Sam, this comes from folks givin you bail advice—or rather by your not ta kiog ‘oil advice. You forget says /, mie fact— wml that if, that it was intended that your family milters slioul I he regulated on die same plan of every other well regulated family, and that llio’ yours is (lie General Government family, it was intended io be legulaleil jest on lie same plan as the family ol the humblest of • your masteis,’ and liitie, say* / was me (licitlie* wit of the llm g hi 100 bfgmiiin. \\ hat masters? says he spunken up and iry in to swell, (lull takm care to hold on lo Ins breeches,) -who aie my master* ?J*ays he.

We take pleasure in publishing. Iruili the Kdge field Advertiser, tile following ,t-iv interesting ar ticle in relation to the consummation nf the Kn lerprise ol our energetic fellow citizen, Mr. Shultz, for establishing a direct trade between 1 Hamburg in ibis Slate, and the (most important commercial points of the European Continent. In (he present midnight of commerce, such intel ligence as this is like a ray from tlie morning star, telling-of the coming dawn; •• We have received the follow iug most interest ing letter in relation to llie arrival of Nlr. Delius in Hamburg, and feel assured that our readers will rejoice with us, that the laudable enierprize of Mr. Shultz, to establish anew and most iin poitant commercial intercourse, is now about to he consummated. All doubts must now he dis pelled; and Mr. S in the accomplishment ol his purpose, his vindicated anew that reputation for public spirit, lor which he is so disiingnisliid. We 11 ive not taken our pen with the view of pas- | sing a lulsome eah-gv upon him or Ins town ; but on an occasion so appropriate, we cannot lint coiiL'iatulaie the Stale on llie bright prospects , which now open before if. Mr. Editor. Lilwaid Delius, the bearer of despatches from the Government of Hamburg, j Germany, to Mr. Shuliz, and preliminary Cuun- 1 siil of the government of I'russia, tn the Town j of Hamburg, Ameiica, reached Hamburg till I Thursday ilie 4lh iast. at 12 o'clock. He was met by Mr. (Shuliz, noil oilier citizens al the llridge, and by l lieni escorted, under the firing of cannon lioui the ramparts, and the inspiring influence of Mr. Shuliz'* line band of music, In his private mansion, w here lie was cheered bv all that geueioiis hospitality, so characteristic of the lonnder of ibis new town. A large concourse us citizens from the town and country had collec ted for the purpose ol testifying their considera tion for the highly respectable gentleman, who appeared lieloie them in a somewhat public ca pacity, ami who was received wiili great cordiali ty, il is proper lo remind the reader that Mr. Delius is also one of llie Direciors of ** The American and German Trading and Insurance Company,” appointed in the Act of Incorpora tion of llie Ligislatuie of S. Carolina, in 1835 “After an introduction to the company. Mr. D. read a communication of a public nature from the Senate of Hamburg, in Fnrope, which ac knowledged the receipt nf certain doeitmenls for warded by Mr Shuliz to that city iu relation tn the imioiliiciioil of a commercial intercourse be tween the lno places, ami cngratulaled Mr. S upon the growing prosperity and opening pros pects ol his new Town. “ The cominunicati n also contained a sugges tiou to Mr. S. to make some prefix to the name ’* Hamburg.” by which il could lie distinguished from Hamburg, hi Germany. To this sugges tion, Mr. D. added some suitable anil appropri ateteinarks of his own. Mr. Slmhz wishing to give an opportunity to the citizens present to ex press their opinions, pioposcd that the meeting he mg-anized by ihe appointment of a Chairman and the question Ireely discussed. Col. Hronks, ul Edgefield, was called to the Chair, whereupon Mr. Shuliz submitted a Resolution lor the ap pointment of a Committee of live, lo consider amt report al some future meeting, upon the pro priety of it. The Chair appointed Mr, Shultz. Mr. Giay, Mr. Oliver, Mr. Sullivan, and .Mr. Ilubbaid, a Committee, to which, upon mo tion was added the Chairman, and Cul- l’eiubir lon, from Georgia,” ” Tiie whole ceremony was an interesting one. It was a proud day for Mr. Shultz. A highly respectable and intelligent gentleman bad teceiv ed m charge from the Senate of the city of Ham burg. the duty of congratulating him upon the growing prosperity of his yet infant town, anil of expressing a flattering solicitude for tile establish ment ol a commercial intercourse between the two places, mutually beneficial lo each, thus le alizing the proudest hopes of Mr. S. and the confident promises which he had held out to ihe public. This Public Agent w asjbefoie him, and in the presence of the citizens of his town, official ly performed the important duty assigned him by Ins Government, w ith the greatest dignity and ability. In conclusion let me say, that not the least interesting incident of the occasion was the cor dial welcome piveil Mr. Delius and Lady, by the German residents of Hamburg. And if I may lie pardoned lor speaking thus publicly us a La dy. I will add, that Mrs. D. by her very uuaffec ted kindness and courtesy, ni idea most favora ble imptession on all present.

The National Intelligencer publishes the reply of Mr. For syth ; from which it appears the IV-sideiit de clines entering into the negotiation on the giound that •• So long as Texas shall remain at war, while Ihe United Slates are at peace with tier adversary, the propsiuon of the Texiati minister plenipotentiary nects'aiily involves the question of war w ith that advcrsai v.” The President also thinks there are Coilstinnional questions which it would lie inexpedient, under existing ciicumslan ces io agitate. So far a* the piiucq )c of the malter is concerned, e cannot ‘t-e how the ne gneiatinn “ involves 1 lie question of w ar” with Mexico any more than Ihe acknowledgement of the independence of Texas.

The pertinacity with which the majority in the House of Representatives re sist the proposition, lolly justifies the reintnk of Mr, Wise, that “ the leopard would as soon change his spots as this House w ill change its de termination to do nothing towards exposing 1119 corruptions o( this government.” On Finlay lust Mr. W. met stie party on their mvn grounds, and presented them with‘specific charges.’ He read several letters, dis-losiog a must disgrace- Ini transaction, which proves beyond a doubt that fraud and corruption have attended this In dian war.
