Nurtured and brought upas we have been, in the admonition of the Republican State Rights doctrine —in a contest in w hich their preservation is sought on the one hand by the lovers of Constitutional Lib erty, and threatened on the other by the renewed as saults of re-anitnated Federalism, it may be easily conjectured on which side we are to be found. We aspire to belong to the Republican State Rights Party, professing such principles as sustained the Fathers of that faith in ’9B and ’99—as bore that parly in Geor gia triumphant, through the political conflicts of'2s and 26. and to which it has not proved recreant in ’32 and’33 VVe claim to be disciples of the School of Jefferson, as taught in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. But professions of repuhlicrnisra have become mere cant, when every party lays claims to that title, from the Union L/emocratic Republican par ity of Georgia, tip to the great National Republican ■party of the Union, and hack to the remnant ot the party which rejoiced in the subsequent election ot a Sedition law Judge, as the triumph of the democratic Republican party of New England! Equally vague is the pretence to belong to the State Rights Parly, since many of those who profess to be State Rights adher ents, deny to the States all other rights, but those of remonstrance and submission. Still more uncertain • s the profession of belonging to the Jeffersonian 'School, since many who pretend to be followers of that i’atriot, publish to the world, the. preposterous, the humiliating notion, that the labours of his whole life were intended to prove that the States have only the right of petitioning for a redress of grievances--©! remonstrating against unconstitutional Federal Legis lation, and finally “when all other remedies fait” of - protesting !! ! To prove that our profes sions are not of this character, let thn columnsol the Herald oe our witness. The ears ofthe people have of late been drummed almost to deafness with the continued and popular cry of Union! Union 11 Union !!! VVe too profess, not emptily, to love aud venerate the Union, and to beas highly sensible of its incalculable value and im, portance, as those who are most loud and boistersous jin their clamours. But we seek to have a.

It shall be our purpose to make the Hera d wor thy the perusal of all classes of readers- -ot those who delight in the pleasure of romance aud the ‘ Uu-ic of Poetry”—of those who prefer to pursue the. drlightlul paths of historic or of scientific research.--of those whose business it is to delve in “mother earth," in pursuit of her glitteiiugtre.asu-es. as well as of those who are connected, either through choice, ofnece ssi tv. with the agitating, political contro verc.ies ot tne day.

A thrilling Pa^wa^e—the Dea Hi There is a powerful article in the last num ber of the American Mag izine, under the title ot “ Passages* in lhe Life of Mary Stuart.” Unable to find space for the whole of it m mtr columns, we cannot refrain from giving- the following extract, which, we priGeivp, basal ready won a compliment from lhe iNew York American. 'I tie til-fated Chasiclar, having lirsi confessed Ins love to lhe object of if, and bc< n indignantly dismt.-tsed, iba scene is thus conrinm-d. An hour In id s moi !•/ elapsed, before the hgh 8 were extinguished throughout the vault* ed halls of Holyrood; the guards were posted for the night, the officers had gone their rounds, the ladies ofthe myal circle were di<mi--*ed. and all was darkness and silence. In Mary’s chamber a single Limp wa- burning in a small recess, before a beautifully ex* coied piinling ot'ilye v rgin, but the light was not -off -u-nt to penetrate the obscurity which re'gned in the rp/anv angles and alcoves of that irregular a > irt /teent, although liie moonbeams were adirirttcd through the open t -semen’. Her garb of ceremony laid ah?, her lovely -hap*’ s jiitdy versed by a -ingle r he " ■*(»'>•- less linen, her auburn tresses !; >'-• mg f” '!< •> - strained luxuriance, almost to er feet i io had been a creature of perfect human bcoiiv when viewed in ab ’lie pomp f ' c r -y'!' png- • .dr . she now appeared a being of supernatural love liness. Her small white feet, unsandelled, glided over the rich carpet with a grace, which a slight degree of fancy might have deemed 'he motion peculiar to the inhabitants of anoth er world. For an instant t jere she turned to her repose, she leaned nghtnst the carved mul lions of the window, and gazed pensively, and, it might be. sadly, upon the garden, where she had so lately parted frotn the unhappy youth whose life was thus embittered by that very feeling which, above all others, should have been its consolation. Withdrawing her eyes from the moonlight scend, she knelt before the lamp and the shrine which it illuminated, and ber whispered orisons arose, pure as the source from which they flowed—the prayers of a weak and humble mortal, penitent for every trivial error, breathing all confidence to Him who can alone protect or pardon; the prayers ofa queen for her numerous children, and, last and holi est of all, a woman’s prayers for her unfonu nale admirer. Yes, she prayed for Chastelar, that strength might be given to him from on high to bear the crosses ofa miserable lite, and that by divine mercy the hopeless :c,x-e might be uprooted from Ins breast. The w- rds burst passionately from her lips; her whole form quivered with the excfess of her tmotibn, . and the big tears fell like ra n from her 'iphTi: d eyes. While she was yet in the Very fiord of passion, a sigh was breathed, so blearlv audi ble, that the conviction flashed like ligb. :ug on her soul, that this most set ret prayer ae listened to by other ears than those of heaven ly ministers. Terror, rente terror, took pos session of her mind, banishing by its supi riot violence everv less engrossing idea. She snatched the lamp from its m- ho—waved it slowlv around the chamber—and there in 'he most hallowed snot of her widowed chamber, a spy upon her unguarded momeri s, stood a dark figure. Even in that moment of astonish ment and fear, as if by instinct, the beautiful instinct of purely female modesty, she snatch ed a velvet mantle from the sent on which it had been cast aside, nnd veiled her person even before she Oh God! it is de CiiastelarJ* 4 ‘ Sweet Queen,’ —replied the intruder— “ bright, beautiful ruler of my destinies, par don— ’’ “What ho?”—she screamed in notes of dread intensity—“a moi a moi mes Frttncbis.

The Queen stood erect in the centre of I the room, pointing with one white arm bare, to the shoulder towards the wretched culprit, who with folded arms and head erect awaited his doom in unresisting silence.
