he poets mentioned in Griswold's Poets and Poetry of America, 122 are of the Free States, and only 16 of the Slave States. Of the poets whose place of birth appears in Read's Female Poets of America, 71 are of the Free States, and only 11 of the Slave States. If we try authors by weight or quality, it is the same as when we try them by numbers. Out of the Free States come all whose works have a place in the permanent literature of the country, —Irving, Prescott, Sparks, Bancroft, Emerson, Motley, Hildreth, Hawthorne; also, Bryant, Longfellow, Dana, Halleck, Whittier, Lowell,— and I might add indefinitely to the list. But what name from the Slave States can find entrance there? A similar disproportion appears in the number of Patents, during the last three years, 1857, 1858, and 1859, attesting the inventive industry of the contrasted regions. In the Free States there were 9,557; in the Slave States, 1,306: making a difference of 8,251 in favor of Freedom. The number in Free Ma

By way of aspersion on Mr. Motley and myself, the country is informed that he is time I had no conversation with him about Mr. Motley, until after the latter had left for his pos paper in the following terms: The dispatch to Motley (which I learn by a telegram from him has beenr me, is beyond comprehension.

The facts hehe fair fame of the most brilliant historian America has yet given to the world, that the insult to him should be hurled back where it came from; and that another illustration may be given of the glorious fact, that the fame of such men as John Lothrop Motley and Charles Sumner, is in the keeping of the Muse of History, and not of the politician.

Grant as President, he was at my house with Mr. Motley in friendly communion, and all uniting in asg the rejection of the Santo Domingo Treaty, Mr. Motley was summarily removed, according to present cteristic was constant vindictiveness toward Mr. Motley, with effort to wound his feelings, and this showing that the pretext put forth to wound Mr. Motley was an afterthought. Still further, the dis time I had no conversation with him about Mr. Motley, until after the latter had left for his posncealment; that the wantonness of assault on Mr. Motley was so closely associated with that on me, ting my suggestion he authorized me to invite Mr. Motley in his name to prepare the memoir or essay oation, unless we except the last dispatch of Mr. Motley.
