To ike Editor of ike Oteryian:
Sir—The Editor of thn Republican hi* mlsnp*
prrhendrd me or misrepresented me, In saying I
have depaited from the rules of courteous criti
cism. I entered into no critical examination, either
of the Inaugural (which I have neverYead.) or of
Ilia dissertation upon it. Ilii had 1ft.vie On Un
founded atseYthfti relative to Bio 111*01 relity In poll*

that hecoftld nt<i possibly he a judge of the conrsu
of that paper, us so far from knowing its politic*,ho
did not know bow many times a week it was pub
lishes!, a* ho called a tri-weekly paper n hebdumn-
da!.
Being a constant reodor of that paper. I thought
proper to defend it from tho attacks of tho Repub
lican.
The epithet of Johnny Cra petal hit* always beett
■plied to Freushmen, in contempt nnd derision,
is not so with thu epithet* of John Bull and Bro
ther Jonathan, fdr tho English nnd Americans fre
quently spenk of themselves ns John Bull and Bio-
ther Jonathan. Naver did a Frenchman speak of
his countrymen ns Johnny Crapaud. It is n deri-
sivo and contemptuous nicknemo, originating In
English antipathy to all that is French. Judging
tho context, it was in this spirit that the Editor
tho Republican applied it to tho Editor of the
Courrier.” Uo who indulges in such a personal!-
is then surely a fit one to setup tho Stamford of
courtesy!
He seems to think thnt he hns stirred up my
Ho is mistaken. It is but seldom that I en
lighten myself by perusing his column*; therefore
hi* power for good or for evil, reaches me not.
Tho paper containing his attack on tho "Conrrior
des Etats Unis," was handed to mo casually, and
noticing it, I thought it but an act of justice to ono
who would perhaps never see the at took, to correct
thoerrar of tho Republican, nnd prevent, if possi
ble, any prejudice being taken up nguinst tho
'Courrier," on account of nny supposed hostility to
General Harrison.
I am aware that it was rash in mo to attempt to
correct tho Editor of tho Republican, for I ought to
have recollected that tho historian of Zndig tells
i, that among other thing*, hi* hero had learned.

bow, and wu struck her right midship*. From tho
force of the collision, it wns evident that either the
ship or the steamer would sink, or pet Imps both.
Instftntly I felt Unit the ship, llio hows of which
were stove in, Was sinking. I cried out to tho
crew (nil the passengers were below) to cndcuvor
to save their lives. They, instead of running for
\vard, through Tour, ran oft.
My first object was to endoavar to savo tha craw
nnd passenger*; hut so rapid win the sinking of thu
ship, I found it impossildu to do tiny thing to arum
plish that objt-ct. i lind the mnto then ran forward,
nnd, finding the ship fust sinking, I tried tojumpon
tho steamer. Failing in my first uttempi through u
momentary fuintno**, 1 made a set-und, und, just a*
the ship wus nt tho water's edge,succeeded in grasp
ing a rope which wus hanging over the steamer's
side. The mate saved Ids life by jumping from the
forc-ynrd urm to tho st- nmer’* dock. In one minute
the ship sunk, with sixiet n of her cow and all die
passoogers, umounl ing together to one hundred ond
twenty two souls. The steumer's bunt wu* inaliuit
iy lowered fur the purpose of making nn aticmpt to
save sui-h of the crew nnd passengets us might bo
flout ing, but it unfortunately swamped alongi-ido.

*• Tho Nottingham, which now lies on the rast
side uf thu Clarence Duck, wus yesterday visited by
thousand* of curious spectators. Her s ta i hoard side
wns a complete wreck; even the ileuses tin the deck
adjoining were shivered into frogmen'.*. The dead
unimal*, cows nnd sheep, covered the deck, nnd
presented n shocking sight, most of them having
been disembowelled by the concussion whichcuusrd
their dentil. The passengers (on hoard tho eini
grant ship) were nil below in thrir berth* when the
collision bet ween the ship and iheltcnmcrtook place;
Tho shock ciinsnI by it would, of course, ruuic even
those who might then Into been asleep.
" No doubt they would make a rusli towards thn
deck; tho inlorvul which elapsed, however,between
tho shock nnd the sinking wu* soshort, srarcnly five
minutes, that very few, if any, could Inivo succeeded
in ranching it. So that, hi ail probability, they per
islied in the stoer-igo. Tit * mate had been married
only a few day* before the ship's tailing; tint captain
had given his wife a berth with tier husbuiid in the
cabin; When tho fate of tho ship became inevitable,
ho attempted to run nftto ro*ciiu her; hut limn failed
him—tho instinct of self preservation became strong
—ho sprung up the shroud*, nnd reached the steam
er by jumping from the ynnl arm ”

Tli*t ho should have time to prepare himself for tho

per, ih-y must M whUp«i" thrir opinions, u* an
lionorahlo Senator hud said t xml that they worn
not to express illrm boldly and like freomet; that
il they proclaimed their opinions in thrir jour
nal or newspaper, tlioy must meet with UDmi*e
ul fiont Congress. Was nut that tho prsctic-tl
I'Oiiohioii? Ai d hnd they no', then, thn right
to turn to thrir opponents, nnd ask them ff they
w.to authorized to ezpect this ns the fust step of
this Administration which wa* to annihilate pro
ecrjptiun! Ho know tho paper spoken of had leen
a warm political pipoil lie did not know thut it
had horn more so limn two otl.ru, and the only
two other prominent join nnis in this District. And
Ire thought lie did kn..w ihnt neither of the oars ins
ciiiiiiccted willi tho Globo had over committed,
oiilni asodlims or as men, sod.grunt nn obu*u
of llio Cingti-st nf thu country, ns another editur
hnd rnmniiitod in a public and ufficlil speech,
within n tew days, in thn streets of this city.—
Ho would not now either road that speech or
comment upon it; but lie mentioned it to show that
nil t-ditois were violent partisans; und that whether
writing Co llirir n.-w»pnper«, or in thoir official
cnpariiy, llt.-y write with u freedom of langungo
sometime* not toh-rntcd hy troth. Could they te
•irniu tit^ir iineutiousnes*? Sh .uld they, silting
there in that capacity, try! In hi* opinion limy
should im.I. Ho hnd already said liu shuuld mu
discos* the question whether tho l'rintor of the
Somite was un officer of tho Senate, or u contractor'
with tho b'niint.;} but this ho simply wutiMsiiy, that
tlm argument of nn hunotnhlo Senator, mndo ye*
tardily, based principally on Webster, did not *a
tl'fy Id* mind. Tjie lionoriibto Senator Imd nrgou.l
llml no oleciiou iiiu.t produce ..n officer, und ilia
Senator usknd if *ny body hnd eVer hetnd or an
election of a contractor. Well, If the honorable
Senator would tell him (Mr. Wright) how hu
could oht--:;u contractor for oven his piiv.te busi
ne*«, wiiliooi uu election ho would answer Id* argu
mmit. Ho (Mr. Wright) know of no other way;
und In* considered, so far ns tlm llonoruhlo Suim
tor’s argument wns concerned, that It was enough
to any .hut the choosing in till* case, or lire election,
by tlm vu o <d tin* Sen'ite, wu* merely llio selection
of u man to [ii.i r..fm time .lory; and llml instead *f
imposii-g it ou thuirSerrotniy Io elect it contractor,
us well a* to make tho cmlrnci, the Senutn chose
In ilnsignulo the individual, luuviug thoir i.fftc.-r o
tnnko llie contract with him. And this appeared
to hen propur u*u of tho term. Webster said, to
■•oloct" was to "pick out, to select front umotig
two or mr.ro—to select or take for ou offico or cin
!<lnvinct<l—to choose front among a number—to so
lect or manifest preference by vo o or dusignution."
And thn dofii.iitan of tire word 'election" in Web
sler, was, "tliu uct of chuasinx; choice; llio act uf
ft. lecling one ot mure frontinliois; the uct of ritoo*
ing a person to fill ntt office or empUymrnt by suy
maiufostn'tion of |irefen-ticu us hy Imllut, uplifted
bunds, or viva voce, u* the olecitonufii king, s pres
idem, or a ntuyor.
Tlioy might a* well elect a mnn in do a job of
work us to elect a I’residenl of tho United Stnte-*;
it wu* only n mudo ofdu*igiinting the individual
whom lliey would [nit in cliungn ufeertain duties.—
They might designate ii parson furncertnin position,
nnd call hint nnuliicnij rin-y might givo him it
cnmmiisionand rank, ii* in tho case of a purser in
thu navy, rneuiinnud yesterday; in another esse,
•hoy might mimu thu cnntraciur to build their
house, nr a post offico, ora patonl office, or to do
•heir priir.mg. lio did not desire, however, to phi
tract title, disco.sion; nor Wu* it necessary, for
this point hud been argued *o much nmro clearly
and nMy thun ho could doit. He would, then,
trom-lo them no longer limn to suy thnt hi* put pure,
yestenluy und tu day, hud been simply to placu bo
fore tl.i* body ililn subject u* it had presented itself
to Ids own iniml, and to. eail upon them to say
whether it wns in confoimity willi wlmt should bo
understood to lie thn declarations nf tho President,
und whulher it was in conformity willi the proicila
tions of thu party bolbrn they ranched power.
And lot iiim sny to tlmso gentlemen, that we (tha
lute mnjuriiy) might havo done mnny things wiong,
but tlmso gentlemen would be wise not to follow
our hnd example. And yot wo never dunivd that
we preferred to tarty on tho GoVehnmsnr, when In
powor, thtougli llio agency of our political friends,
than through that of our opponehts. They d'd not
roptidinte doctrines of this k nd; they avowed tho
doctrines to lire extent to which they practised thorn.
But whut wns cliurged upon them? That they uvow
ed thorn to the whole extent. Weil, luok at their
practice; and ho feared some or tha friends «f ih*
gentleman bppniito wore regretting that lliey hud
n t gone further. Ho (Mr. Wright) said this in no
lit temper.
He find found aoveral of hi# acquaintance, on vis
Ring this city, were astonished to find such n nom
herofoffleo* filled with what they considered "good
Whig*." Yes, the prlsu* were Infinit.ky diminish
ail hoenusu they hud not pushed lid* doctrine forth
er. Tli.-y (the fore Administration) did not repo
dinto it; it wu* the othursido that did so; nnd hn
beg nod lire gentleman nppn.ito would nut lend them
into thu praciico of adoctrine which thasu gentle
men lind themselves prescribed.
