Sir : ‘l'lie pressure of otiicial business and confinement to a sick room have prevented an earlier answet to your letfer of the 3d instant. Yon first state, in substance, that I have been under a pledge, which has ot been redeemed, to distribute offices in my gift among different sections of the Democratic party, and then pre scribe the course you expect me to pursue in fu ture. You do not complain that my appointees are not proper persons for the places they occu ; py, or that they are not sound Democrats, sin ! cerely attached to the principles of the party, and firm supporters of the National Adminis j tration. But you think! have not properly re- I garded ali sections of the party. When Mr. Dickinson declined the Collector- j j ship of this port, in April last. [ was asked by j | several friends whether I would allow my name ; to be mentioned to tho President for the place j ! and answered in the negative. 1 thought no j i more of the mattter until two day's afterward, j I when I saw in tfie public prints a telegraphic i ■ dispatch announcing my appointment. 1 had j I two years before, resigned mv place as Chief | Judge of the Court of Appeals with the inten- j ; tion of never again accepting a public office ; ] 1 and, grateful as i was for this new mark of con- | . fidence, l should have declined the appointment j but for the high opinion wheh I entertained of j the President and his principles, and the assu- , ; ranee of friends that ho earnestly desired mv . ! acceptance of the trust. I When 1 accepted the place 1 had never seen nor j , had any communication with the President, and i I of course there were no pledges between us, save j i such as may he implied between honorable men i j holding the like relation to each other. He had j : a right to expect that I would diligently and j j faithfully discharge the duties of the office, and , maintain, in all proper ways, the principles which restored the Democratic party to power; aud so i ; long as 1 performed that implied obligation, l ; had a right to expect that his confidence in mo would not be withdrawn. I have never com- j plained that the President has not discharged j his part of the obligation, and am not conscious j ! of having omitted to discharge mv own. You tell me that tho President and his const!- ! tutional advisers stand pledged before the world ! to the principles and policy laid down iu the j | Baltimore Platform and the inaugural address, . “and had reason to believe that all gentlemen who consented to accept office under the ad- j ministration stood pledged to the same prin- j j ciples and policy.” I agree to that ; and j | though it is but an implied pledge, t ad mit its full force. But it proves nothing to the ‘ t present purpose, for there is not one word either | in the Baltimore platform or in the inaugural address about distributing offices among differ- j ent sections of the party. If the President or j li* appoint.>es are pledged to anv such distribu tion, you must look to some other document to find evidence of the obligation—some document 1 which I have never seen. It may be inferred from the acts of the Presi j dent, that he regards as eligible to office all de- I moerats who cordially united on the Baltimore i platform in 1852, and are sincerely attached to : the principles of the party, although at some former period they may have been out of the ! way. That is a proper rule. It is the one on j ; which I have acted in making appointments to \ j office—not because 1 was under any pledge to \ | do so, but because 1 thought tho rule just in it- j self. But your letter proceeds upon the ground ; that I should go beyond the inquiry whether ap- ; | plicants for the office are good democrats now, I j and ascertain to what section they formerly be- j | longed, and then make such a distribution of j [ offices between the different sections that no one ! jof them will have just cause for complaint. It j I is not only impossible to administer such a rule I j as that with success, but the consequence of i | adopting it must be tha t we shall never have j I one democratic party united upon a broad basis ; | of principle, but a mere combination of difl'or- I ent sections held together by no better bond ! than the love of office, and ready to fall to pieces I the moment one section thinks itself aggrieved in the distribution. Notwithstanding what has been -*aid 1 think it j would be found, on a proper scrutiny, that the S section which has so loudly and bitterly com- I 1 plained of injustice lias received its full share of j j the otlices which I have bestowed. It is un- j | doubt.edly true that more appointments have | | been made from one section of the party than | i from the other, and a single reason will be suf- I ! ficient to show why it was proper to pursue that course. Most of the Custom House appoint : | ments for this port have always been made from ] ! the counties of New York and Kings, in which I | are three large cities which form a part of the j | port. In 1848 the democratic and Free Soil j i votes in those counties bore the relation of more ] i than four of the former to one of the latter.— j i From the Free Soil vote should lie deducted the j | Whig Abolition vote, which went iu the same j j direction. After making the proper allowance ! j on that account, I think it safe to conclude tha’ j ! no more than one out of seven of the democrats i in those counties voted the Free .Soil ticket in j 1818. In this view of the matter, I think it will be found that the Free Soil section is far fr >rn | having just cause for complaint. I have acted i in this liberal manner, not because I was under j any pledge, but because I wished to do what 1 | reasonably could, to promote the harmony and continued ascendency of the party. It is possible that i am mistaken in supposing teat the Free Boil section has got its full share of the places, for, in distributing the little offices in my gift, which have for the most part gone among the rank and tile of the party, 1 have nei ther had the time nor the inclination to do much by way of investigating the antecedents of men who were supposed to he all right now. In reference to your remark upon the recent rupture of the party at Syracuse, that the divis ion could and ought to have “been prevented,’’ it is enough for me to say that 1 not only had no agency in bringing about that division, but I tried to prevent it. My counsel was not only given in favor of the united action of the Con vention, but I sincerely hoped that harmony would prevail. If any Government officers are chargeable with what took place at Syracuse, the burden must rest on those who were there —of whom three were from this city—and not upon the Collector, who was at home attending to the duties of his office. I do not state these things by way of apolo gy, for 1 have none to inaake ; nor by way of courting favor for I have none to ask. Y'ou speak of “the re-union of the party in 1848,” which “re-union wa3 supposed to have been thoroughly cemented in the great and tri omphant ooatest in 1852.’’ Although I ardent ly desired a re-union, if it could be effected up on principle, 1 never approved the mode in which the attempt was made to bring about that desira ble end. I thought then, and think still, that those who hYt?deserted the demo -ratio standard in 18- 48, and thrown the State and National Govern ments into the hands of the Whigs should, if convinced of their error, return again to our camp without exacting conditions, and should then be treated with the utmost kindness. The patty would then have been strong, and we should have heard no more about sections. But a very different course was pursued ; and the Free Soil leaders came back, so far as they came n t all, under a league or treaty between them and a few leading democrats, with no stronger bond of union than an agreement to divide the j offices. Tlie arrangement was based upon no i principle. The Free Soil leaders were left at i liberty to adopt the course which they pursued, ! and, instead of again hoisting the National ban ner, they marched into the democratic camp | with their own sectional colors (lying, ami thus I became an independent element in the party. Indeed vour letter proceeds upon the ground j that the party has all along been divided into ; sections ; ami consequently, that accounts | must be balanced between them in the distribu- ! | tion of offices. Ail experience proves that such j j a coalition as was formed in 1849 can never be I | thoroughly cemented. .Sooner or later it will , \ fall to pieces. The cohesive power of patron- ! | age cannot long save that which has within it-j ! self the elements of dissolution It is not there- I fore, any matter of astonishment that the “re-j ; union was dissolved atthe late Syracuse Con- j j vention After the league of 1849 had been broken, ■ j and the section had again become seperate par- ! ties in form as well as substance, it became nec-1 1 egsary for me as a citizen of Now York, to make i j mv choice between the two tickets which had J I been nominated. My reasons for preferring i one and rejecting the other before the public ,| I aud no one has the right to impute to me any I | other motives than those which 1 liave avowed. 1 l rejected one ticket because the nomination had ! been effected by means which no honest man ; could approve, and because the nominees had ; been brought forward by men who had been hos -1 tile to what I deemed the best interests of the I .State in relation to the canals. 1 approved the ; other ticket because the nominees were right ;on the question of State policy, and because , those who supported it were contending for the i : principles which restored the democratic party ! | to power, and placed Franklin Pierce at the ! “head of tho Government.” 1 presume there | can bo no objection at Washington to my main taining now, as 1 have always done before, the principles on which the National Administration j stands ; and with questions of mere State policy von must allow me to say the Administration i has no rightful concern. What consequences will follow the recent 1 break in the party is more than I can tall; but I feel reasonably confident that if the National ; Democrats had a fair field, and the Free Soil Democrats were not fighting under false colors, their ticket could not get votes enough to help the Whigs through with their nominations. But we have not got a fair field. The Washington I'nion. while professing to speak the sentiments of the Administration, inns thrown its weight on the side of the Free .Soil ticket, It lias under taken to decide upon the regularity of our con ventions, and to sit in judgment upon questions of mere-State policy. It takes the side of those who have once proved faithless to the party, and put the U nion in jeopardy, and denounces those j who have all along supported the principles | which restored the party to power. It is now a co-laborer with the Free Soil prints in this | Btate, some of which it so lately read out of the | Democratic party. Though that print is not in j itself of great importance, yet when it professes, | without rebuke, to do these things as the organ I of the Administration, much mischief may he I done, it matters little what disclaimers there i may be in private circles, so long as there is no | public declaration that the paper speaks without | authority. How ever unfortunately the election | may terminate, the responsibility will rest upon j others, and not upon me. Let me now notice the time, manner and mo tive of your letter. As to time, it was after the rupture and nomination of two tickets at Syracuse, and the two ratification meetings in this City; after the | Collector had been denounced by the Free Soil leaders and presses, and the President had been called upon to remove him; after hungry office j seekers and bitter politicians had visited Wash l ington to misrepresent and traduce that officer, j and to whose clamors, as you well know, be | never made any reply ; after The Union had ta j ken ground against the ticket of the National Democrats, and in favor of the ticket of their j opponents; then it was that you first discovered j | cause for complaint of any kind against the Col- j ! lector. You had approved all his nominations I | with a single exception, and in that case the I | office was abolished. Down to the receipt of | | your letter of the 3d inst., you had never inti- j ! mated to the Collector, in any form, that you I S disapproved of his appointments, or of the man- j ; ner in which they had been distributed As to the manner. You did not pursue the | ! usual course, and issue a circular laying down j | a uniform rule for the government of all Custom j House officers having patronage to bestow; hut j confined your instructions to the port of New York alone. If the doctrine of the latter is a sound one, it is obviously proper that it should be applied in other places as well as here; and it should regulate the conduct of all classes of government officers having patronage to bes tow. Marshals, Postmasters, District Attorneys and others, should act upon it in the selection of their deputies, clerks, and other agents. I will here mention another fact o t no little insignificance. The next day after the letter was written, it was loliowed by another requir- j ing me to submit for your approval the names | of all clerks proposed to lie employed iu the Bondes Warehouses and Public Stores. In this matter you not only departed from the practice of all former Secretaries of the Treasury—who had left ttiose appointments to the sole discre tion of the Colloctor—but, so far as I have learn ed, you again departed from the usual course of issuing a circular to all the Collectors at our great ports, singled out the Collector at New York, and prescribed anew rule for him alone. These facts need no comment—they speak for themselves. As to the motive of this movement, let others judge. This is, I believe, the first instance in which a member of the Cabinet has interfered with the discretion of a collector, marshal, postmaster, or any other government officer having patron age to bestow, and laid down a rule for his government in the selection of his deputies, clerks, or other agents ; and it certainly is the first instance in which a public officer has been instructed to go into an inquiry about sections, and see that a just distribution of offices was made between them. You have a right, by law. - | to give instructions on many subjects connec i ! ted with the collection of the revenue, and such instructions it will be my duty to follow. But • | when you go beyond that, and undertake to - direct in matters which the law has confined to my discretion, no such obligation exists. !’ As to some officers of the customs, the Col - lector has the right of nomination, and the Se cretary the right of approval or rejection ; and i as to the other officers, the power or appoint ■ inent is vested in the Collector alone. 1 shall i t not interfere with the exercise of your powers, ! > and I trust you will render the like justice to i ■ me. If you or any other high officer of the ! i | Government, desire the appointment of a par- j | ticular individual, I need not say that it would ! ‘ give me great pleasure to comply with the wish. ■ ’ But 1 respectfully deny that you have any right ; | to issue instructions for the government of my j , | conduct iu making selections for office. So far as relates to the mere dispensation of ii patronage, without regard to my responsibility i for the acts of the persons appointed, 1 would ; gladly transfer the trust to another. 1 have no | taste for such matters, and my comfort—aspira j tions ( have none—would be greatly promoted |if someone else would perform the service for ; me. But the law and my commission have cast j I the burden upon me, and l cannot surrender it | to another without a dereliction of duty. As you have given your letter to the press, ‘’ | saving “the subject is a public,” I shall give the ; ! same direction to the answer. ! i am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, j GREENE C. BRONSON, j Hon. James Guthrie, Secretary of the Treasury, j ! ~~ ! “ | itliscslUmoMs. j French Courtship and Marriage. Did you oversee a French wedding 1 Here i yo. are on the St. Sulpice. Houses built for the I | great and rich, now deteriorated, degraded into sordid lodging houses, are on all other sides ; out in the centre is the beautiful edifice of St. ! Sulpice, with its two open tovvors. It isgloomy i enough within—silent and solemn. But now all is bright. If the light of the day comes but ! dimly throuuh the windows, hundreds of wax candles illumine the aisles. On the stone floor a rich carpet has been Jaid, rows of velvet and gold surround the altar, and the altar itself the | masses ol white camellas, roses, jessamines, j i and white lilacs almost exclude the sight of the ‘ sacred images. Fhe aisles are filled with new j straw chairs ; the sa testa ns are in their best ; j the beggars in their worst—for that is their wed- j ding garment. AH stand in waiting round the door. On the steps is the Suisse, looking to the uninitiated uncommonly like the drum major of j a regiment, all good lace, with cocked hat and : feathers, and a sword by his side—in hand a long pole with a silver knob. His legs are j models and he knows it. Now the carriages ] arrive. The Suisse stamps Iris stick upon the j stones, and down gets the bride, led by her moth ers—fathers are rather in the back ground on j these occasions. Fire organs peal, and the j whole procession, headed by the Suisse, march” j os up to the altar. Then theaislas fill with eve ry sort of magnificence of dress—one, two, [ three hundred, or even a thousand people. Eve- .! ry hotly* whose name was ever known to either . bride or bridegroom came of course to the wed- ] ding or at least to church. While thequestion, “Wilt thou take this man?” j is addressed to the bride, she takes forever her j leave of maternal control, by turning with a i profound courtesy to her mother to ask her per- j mission to answer. Mamma responds bv an other inclination, and then her daughter savs the “yes” which gives her her freedom ever more. The yougest sister or cousin of either bride or I bridegroom then* handed by the youngest gen tlenian of the party, preceded by our friend of j the fine legs and his sounding silver pole goes i through the crowd with downcast eves, and a j fine velvet hag in her hand, soliciting contribu- ! tions. “Pou les pauvres, a’il vous plait.” They j then adjourn to the vestry ; and then, for the first time the bridegroom calls his wife by j her Christain name—though the mid bride does ; not drop tee “.Monsieur” till some days after she I has become a wife. Then there is a feasting at , home, dressing, dancing, and a little crying ; I j then the bride installed in her home by her moth- ! er, leaves forever tho parental roof. Now, in all probability the two principal ac- I tor haee never spoken twenty sentences to each j other since they were first introduced. This is j the way they court in France. One lady says j to another, “My daughter is eighteen. .She has much.’’ Every girl has a dowry’ it it be but j 500 francs. ou have known her from a child. You see so many men—cannot you think of one ! to suit her.” Os couise the lady can ; for men are asea j j ger to marry in France as girls are to get bus- j | bands ; it is an increase of fortune and a patent j | of respectability in all stations, in all professions. ! j The young man is spoken to, and of course the i | young lady is named to him. A party is given j ! and they meet ; or sometimes the girl is taken | to tiie opera, and the iover examines her through | his glass. II satisfied with the survey, he is al j lowed to pay her a visit. Then the girl, suppo | sed to be in entire ignorance of the proceedings up to this point, is asked how she would like so | ami so fora husband. Now, it is but just to say, if the girl does not approve, the negotiations go no further; but as she has never spoken to this suitor, and knows j she will not speak to any future suitor, if the j man is tolerably good looking and his tailor has j done his duty, why she being assured by her I parents that the money is all right,generally says j yes. Then the mama of the bridegroom comes j one evening when the house has been set in or- ! der and everybody* dressed in his best, and after i the first salutations, she rises and in a solemn i ; voice asks the hand of Mudlle, Estelle , for j Monsieur Achilla . ‘Then the mamma on the opposite of the house rises and accepts Ihe j offer ; Madlle weeps and throws herself into her future mamma’s arms; whilst the sou in law ern- ; braces the mother of “he intended. The papas ‘ shake hands, the betrothed lovers, released trom ! parental arms, mutually bow to each other, and j the servants bring in tea. Then the lawyers set to work to draw up con- ] tracts ; the mama orders new dresses, Are., for 1 her daughter, and puts new caps and drosses on herself. ‘1 lie bridegroom conies every evening with a grand bouquet, which he offers to Mad emoiselle, flirts an hour or two with the moth er, hows to the daughter and goes off. The bride elect has only to embroider quietly by her mother’s side, Emile, blush, and simper. Then the negotiating lady comes in grand state, preceded by an enormous trunk. Mam ma and the bride receive her—never of course, heeding the trunk. Then the lady makes a speech opens the trunk, and presents the bride with , the corbeille namely, the wedding dress, veil, and wreath, two or three Cashmere shawls, ditto vel ; ret dresses, a set of furs, a set of lace flounees, | [TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE. i a set of diamonds, a watch, a fan, a prayer book ; and a purße of gold. Those come from the bridegroom. In return the lady gets a bracelet from the bride, and many thanks for the presents and tho husband. The mother scolds the inten ded for the reckless magnificence displayed, when he comes at night. The bride says, “Ah monsieur!” blushes and throws herself into her mother’s arms. Then the mamma gives her pre sents to the bridegroom—six cambric shirts and ! six white cravats, the whole trimmed with Va ! lenciennes, chosen with an eye to the future j pocket handkerchiefs of the bride; for, after i the wedding day, what man will be bedecked | with lace ? At last comes the signing of the contract. The j bride takes onestep into the world shereceives her j visiters, and speaks—nay, converses with ail ex- I cept the intended ; that would be improper. She ; gives a token of affection to her unmarried rel atives, bought from the purse in tho corbeille. File wonders of tho corbeille are displayed in one room, whilst the trousseau of the bride (given by the mother) is exhibited in tho other. Em broidery, linen cambric, laces, tAc., are hero lavished on the personal underclothing of the bride, made up in dozens and dozens of each ar ticle ; piles on piles of table cloths, sheets, towels ’ Are., all marked and tied withjpink and blue i ribband. This is the way they manage marriages in | France. [From tho Aucupta Constitutionalist.! List of Premiums. YVe have already published a list of the diffe rent articles to which premiums were awarded jor honorable mention made. The following are | the remarks of the Secretary at the close of his ■ report: The above list embraces the premiums award ! ed atthe annual Fair of the Southern Central j Agricultural Society, which closed on Friday \ last in this city. The incidents of stich a busy j week certainly suggest many and varied reflec tions to those who observed them, and which, j no doubt, might be of profit to those who are hereafter to participate, either as managers or ; exhibitors in out* Fairs. Unfortunately, how ever, for him whose duty it has been made to sum up tho matter—the everlasting, “Just one word with you, .Mr. Lewis,” and “step this way a moment,” have left him without the ability or inclination to indulge in reflections of bis own. To the remarks and opinions of others we may here briefly allude: It is said on all sides j tnat the number of exhibitors and visitors and | articles exhibited is below that of previous Fairs. This is conceded. But it is true, at the ! same time, that with the exception of field crops, i horticulture and floriculture, the exhibition has produced more that is rare and valuable than | has ever anyone exhibition. That the number \ of articles is reduced, has probably been the re sult of the new feature of the last premium list, which offers no premium for a “second best” 1 article. Two leading questions have been brought before the country by this exhibition, which, of themselves, when satisfactorily settled, will well repay the trouble and expense of holding it. One of these questions is, “What is the j cariety of Cotton which will produce the best ! staple In the Upland of Georgia—with the inode | ol cultivation and management before ginning ?” The gentlemen who were successful competi j tors for the premiums of the YVarehousemen ’ and Society will be called upon tor their views iu writing upon this subject, and these views, when submitted, as they will be, to the public, will fairly place this question before tho | Planters. The next question that has been incidentally but properly raised by this exhibition, is “whose • ■in gins the best cotton in the best way to pre serve tho staple.” This is a question as impor j taut to the Planters to the Gin maker, and which, in my humble judgment, it is important to set : tie as soon as practicable. The successful competitors for tlie cotton premiums, will also be called upon to state the qualities of the gin i and the name of its maker, as a beginning to wards the settlement. Ido not knew what the ; tacts elicited by the late contest between the | gins would indicate. The gin of Mr. Latimer, who look the first premium, was by Oglesby— j the gin of Mrs. Perrin, of Columbia, who took the third pitcher, was by Wynn. Dr, Whit j ten’s gin, who took the 20 bale cup ot the So- I ciety, was either by Oglesby or Henderson, of Covington. ‘l'he 10 bales of Mr. T. J. j Bmith which took the Society's cup, were five by Parkhurst, and five by Oglesby’s saw gin.— iSo that perhaps nothing conclusive has yet | been reached on this point. I suggest that the manufacturers of gins have their machines on the ground at the next Fair, and that they be i tested by ginning cotton of the same quality and a comparison of the staples (Ac., when j ginned. The Society has closed its Eighth Annual Meeting with a larger amount of silver plate on i band and a larger cash balance, than ever before j —and what is better, with having produced a stronger conviction in the public mind, of the ’ power of such a .Society when well organized | and conducted to do good. The inefficiency of the organization, as it now stands has engaged the attention of the Executive Committee, and they have ppomted a special Committee to pre pare an address to the people in Decetnlter next, upon the importance and plan of perfecting it. rhe great desideratum is a permanent fund and a permanent membership. Both could be obtain ed by admitting life members at twenty-five dol lars each, bv which a large fund may be had, the interest only of which shall be used for So i ciety purposes. D. W. Lkwis, Secretary. Augusta, Ga., Oct. 24, 1853. Dr. Hines. —iu our evening edition we stated j that this notorious character had made a second | advent into our city. Although we were tolera j bly sure of his ideuitv, ns well as great inanv who had previously seen the Doctor, vet as he had not acknowledged himself to be the renown ed swindler and forger, there was a slight doubt | on the minds of many ; but now every shadow , of doubt lias been dispelled, for on being closely i questioned by the Cbeif of Police, Mr. O’Leary, | and recorder Winter, lie became himself gain, | —discarded his aliases, and stood forth a self | confessed Doctor Hines—one of the most no. [ torious characters of the age. The Recorder i questioned him as to the reasons which induced him to return to the city, from which, a few years since, he had been so ignominously ex pelled. He replied that lie had come out here on a speculation, and that he expected to make sixty or seventy thousand dollars out of the Government. It is very strange that coming out here with such noble intentions, he should have so soon surrendered up his higher aspira tions, and stooped to the commission of so petty an act as the one be now* stands accused of— that is, swindling a small boy out of the insig nificant sum of four dollars. YVe congratulate our citizens upon the fortunate circumstance, which led to his arrest and recognition, however for he might have made some of them bleed pret ty freely.— N. 0. Delta. Number 45.
