05" Senator Walker's Pamphlet, to which we referred last week, had the census returns of the colored peopleof the frend slave States, showing that in - freedom, tb colored blinde insane, deaf and dumb, idiots. &c. are vastly more numerous than in tlie slave States. It has been most satisfactorily shown that these statements originated from carelessness in taking the census. Figures wcre placed in the wrong columns. For instance, take the following contradictory statements of the census of Maine in 1840: Towns. Total col'dinhab. col'd insane. Limerick, 0 4 Lymington, 1 2 Scarboro' 0 6 Poland, O jjDixfield, 0 4 Calais, 0 1 Total, l 19 To make I9crazy men out of one man, is pretty fair calculation even for 'down east.' The census is equally incorrect as to the proportion of deaf, dumb, &c. Ö At the Depot last week we found thee car loads of stone ware, tnanufaclured by Eliih Tylcr, at Detroit. Ir. is fforded st a reasonable price, and all Whigs and olhr who believe in encouraging home manu - factures should patronize Mr. Tyler. Lest Whis should have a prejtidice against the manufacturar, we will stato that he is noí a retative or supporter of Juhn Tyler, but is a tmight out Liberty man.CC?" The following is stated to be Ilenry Clay's opinión of the great Irish Repealer. - In reforence lo Mr. Stevenson'u attempt to bully O'Connel in. o a duel, he sald: ♦He [O'Connell] would exclude us [slavehodcru] from European 8ociety - he who tiimself can only obtain a contraband admisión, nnd is recoived with scornful repugnance into it! If he be no more desirous of our s.iciety than we are of hif, he may rest assured that a state of :tornul non iniercourse will exist between us. Yet, sir, I think the American minister would best have pursued the dictates of true tlignity, by regarding the language of the memoer of the Bntish House of Commonp, ns the maiignanl rarings of the fbunderer of kh own country, and the libelier of a foreign and kmdred peuple." How different was the hnguage of C. M . Clay respecUng O'Connell, as published last week! Tyrant8 and Aristocrats hate refortnersl Qi? A writer in the Michigan Expositor suma up our national taxes thus:Th 8 is equal to $6 80 per annum lor evKjr bouI in tbe Union, or $40 80 for cvery famüv of x persons. (E Messrs. Leavitt and Aldcn, of Boston, have issued a prospectus of the Daily Moro'mg Chrontcle, a Liberty paper, at 95,00 o yoor, or tavo cents a copy. It will advócale the Liberty principies and candidates, the Britiah systèm of postage, (two cents a'ïetter for any diutance,) and go for moral and legal fiuaeion against intemperance. It will regard Commerce,Finance and the Currency, as ques tions to be eett lod on their own merits, by calin deliberation and conaul.'ation, and one prominent object slwuld be to place them on n permanent basie.
