I have compared the foregoing with the copy I furnished, and tiod -he sftme corn el. I DAVID TRUEMAN. Auditor of Belmont County. MRS. STOWE IN GLASGOW. In another column may be rend a report of the grand ovation which Mrs. Stowe enjoyed at the City Hall, Glasgow. It will hi re membered that the invitation for her to visit Europe came from that place. Upwards of two thousand persons were present, lilliny the hall entirely. From the description, it appears that the enthusiasm was of that char acter which only religious Conviction can jive, when a multitude moved by a common sacred Bpirit limit u common Hngktgt fur its utter ances. The speeches on both sides are mark ed hy goad taste; Mrs. Btowe said nothitiEr, but Professor Stovvc made n speech. One sentence of his was a home thni-l in Enirland. "In this country (England) is the great mar ket for American cotton, and it is cotton that sustains American tlavery. I do not es.y that you can do without it. It is cotton that makes the system prulituble, and cotton makes the price of man 300 in the markets of the U nited States." Mr. Charles Dickens in his ffofUAoU IVorali said not long6ince in substai ce: '-There are four millions of men, women, and children I in England, depending for their daily sub sistence on the cotton trale with America; und Enoltnd cannot condemn American sla- : vary without condemning herself." Now, wc have no hesitation in dee luring our conviction that the ollgarebo character of the English j Government which necessities for its eiist-j ence the subsidizing of the world tlie con-1 quest of India, the opium trade in China, the j Turkish and Portuguese treaties, the pOTCU- pine attitude of the continent of Europe- the ! scuttered population and the commercial con vulsions jf this country, necessities too, thai perpetuation of Slavery in this country. We believe that if the false policy of the United . States did not impede or crush our unlive manufacturing industry ia order to build upi hat ol" Glasgow, Manchester, lEriuiu-rhain I and Sheffield, 'he South would bristle with, Cultini Mills and Forges, and the slave would be un tlie high roud to Emancipation, and I hut road one of progressive intelligence. The history of mankind teaches us this les son: Economy of means is necessary to the' growth of liberty. Now nothing cun be fur ther from economy than the persistance of the Southern States in a policy which re-' quires them to send their raw material on voy ages of seven thousand miles to be manufac tured and returned to them, merely because England has contrived a monoply which pre vents the natural growth of o.ir native manu factures, and forbids the putting ol the Cctton Mill on the Cotton Plantation. We see not why the raw Cotton should not ba sent to , China with equally good reason. It is sheer nonsense to separate any moral question from material involvements. Such logic may suit angels, but not men. What ever transcendental views wc would wish to inculcate, we jnust bear iu mind the possible and practicable. Now, so long as American manufactures are checked in the Soti h, so long w ill the ubolition of slavery be postpon ed; so long, too, will sluvebreediiig, anJ the soul-wrenching scenes described bv Mrs. Stowe, be likely to prevail. If "England can not do without American cotton," on the terms which ahe asks it, namely, the monoply Uiills, then is England the chief conserva tor v( the system against whirh the Suthcr- land H. use manifesto hat teen launched. X. Y. 'lVibune. THOMAS CORWIN. I i me political enemies of the late Admin, ijtruti.m of the National Government, knew how little this gentleman cares for their a ; buse, they would not take to much paint to ; work themselves into a passion and say hard ! but r.diciilutis thinge of him. Except on the one point of personal honor, he is as deaf a an adder and as blind at a beetle to all the charges that political opponents mny make against him. Always meaning to do right and ever striving to carry out his just intents careful in the formation of his opinions, and conscientious in the discharge of his duty w.-r ly patriotic as a statesman, and eminent ly boner t as a man, he pursues tho calm and even tenor of his wsy. indifferent to the abuse i of enemies, unsolicitous of, and shrinking from, the praise of friends. Void of ambition j almost to a fault, he neglects the means that men ordinarily retort to to "keep themselves before the people." Fund of society, of home, and of his library, he regards plnce as not worth seeking, and power as a responsibility to be shunned. He baa been forced into eve ry office that he has held since ho reached middle life, and was a happier man on the 4th ol March, when he felt hi limbs freed from the harness of the Treasury Department, than he had been before in the course of many years of conspicuous and honorable public eervice. The harpies of the press mnv stump and denounce such a man as an "abolitionist," as a "political aspirant," as an "enemy to pop ular progress," they may misrepresent him with pertinacious and intentional falsehood, as "denouncing his galhnt countmnen in anna, hoping and praying that they might be greeted with bloody hands to hospitable graves," they may shoot their red and forked tongues at hitn from every stump in tlie land, and spit their venom through every column ol' a newspaper they can control or iriiluence, hut the whole of it will not disturb hit sleep, jr ruffle the serenity of his temper. On the point of honor Mr. Corwia is sensitive; but hi whole private and public life mav be ran lacked, by the bitterest and most re'cklessen smy he has, and nothing be found to impeach us rectitude. The baseness, therefore, that or the hundredth time charges hitn with hav ng received a large portion ol the money a .varded to Dr. Gardner by the Mexican com nission, when not one dollar of that money aaa ever touched his hands, must recoil on the calumniator who is guilty of it. Two things have induced us much ao-aintt what we know would have been the pleasure uf 3Ir. Corwia had he been where we could have consulted with him, to make this refer ence to him:frj(, some recent attacks np,,n him, in reckless Locofoco papers in this State, grossly libellous in their nature; anJ,srco;iJ, numerous reports, some of which have found their way into the newspapers, to the effect that he intends toon to leave Ohio and return to the State of his nativity, Kentucky. No man could remove from aDuther State into this, we are well ealUlied, who would be wel comed with so much enthusi asm as Thomas Corwia) but on the other hand no man would be suffered to leave Ohio with more regret, and we doubt very much whether the personal anJ political friends of Mr. Cor a-in will per mit any such step without interposing obsta cles w hich he wouid hesitate to remove. We know nothing as to what may be the present intentions of Mr. Corwin, but we feel safe in pronouncing us premature each and all of llie several reports in the newspapers to the effect that he his become possessed ol the old family homestead in Bourbon coun ty, und intends to remove to it that he has purchased property neur Lexington, and will soon occupy it that he has recently invested money In real estate in Frankfort, and intend to becume .a resident ut that town this spring, und that he has bought an estate near Louis ville, with the intention of spending the rest of bit days iu this ci'y. The prime of Mr. Curwin's lile (about thirty years) has been given to the service of his country. A part of that tune, he was in situations in which for tunes are made every year; another ptrt of it, lie svas where much muney passed through his hands; but nothing has stuck to his palm which did nut belong there, and at this day he is not a rich man. If he hud the desire for such investments as are attributed to hitn, he has nut the means: but he has no such de sire never has had, and never will hava. If he Joes come to Kentucky, it will not be for pecuniary speculation, or political place, hut to get himself a comfortable limine, in which ho may spend the remnant of his life as a christian und a gentleman. That he may finally determine lo remove to this, city, we join hundreds and thousands of warm-heurted men and women here, in ho ping. On their behalf as well as our own, we promise that he snail not be troubled with politics. He will have to put up with a little Miami total, however; for the man who stood by Henry Clay as he did, in an eventful period of that statesman's life the man who has al ways Bean a max, much more than a 8l :.;es man, or an orator, great as he is in both these capacities the man who has dared to take the unj'opuhtr side, because ho believed it to be the right side the man of transcendent qualities ol head and heart, such as he has, can never be other than an object of warm, enthusiastic rogard, to the people of Ken tucky.

S.mie Southerner was invited, by some mistake, tu Tom Corwis's table, at Wash ington, and in a letter to the Southern Patri ot, ho narrntes some "table talk" with Mr. Ciirwih, in which the Abolitionists are Visit ed with a copious shower of abuse. C. M. i 'i.at, who writes for freedom and fight for slavery, catches this up nnd pours out a tor tent of abuse on of Mr. OuBWIBi in which lid betray more personal hatred toward a north, i ern man, than of love for the northern pn'nci 1 pie of freedom.
