Are there smiles up-.n Thy cherished face, or sombre clou is and rain? My soul grow? dark, f »r genius like thine own Is but the power of suffering more. Its gift is tears, yet tears so sadly beautiful An angel might stoop down and ki«w them off. And yet eouldst thou but know one eye to-night I? gazing on that moon, but sees it not, Because her soul hath other work to do— Because a brighter light is shining for And wide from her young spirit’s sky—would not A gentle smile sprea ! its wine, although It might be damp wi’.b tears, across thy brow ? Sweet notes from surging water-fall? swell through The moonlit air, and, winding through mine ear, Throws iouud my soul a cloud-like n be of song. There is a sped cf perfect beauty round ; The deep unfathomable blue above Hath all its glory on. none but o r God Could give th it glorious tint of ?pirit-b!ue And softness gentle as a motujr’s eye, Beneath whose surface wave of holy love, A front of tears lies darkly beautiful. My soul hath wings to-night, and resteth not On earth; it mingles in the moonlight's pure Sweet essence, and it poises o’er the brook’s Sweet music, blen ling fondly with the soul, The very spirit of itstonzs; it pours Its little being in the floweret's breast, And listen? to the story of its Icves ; And oh, it floats upon the air tot hee, And, folding fond'y round thy fairest brow, It wanders through the masses of thy hair, Ard there absorbs each smile which spreads a irorn Os glory round thy cheeks, and gathers up Each sound that L aves thy jewel-dripping lips, Then glides into thy soul and fond y breaks Tta quiet of its natureji' ■> thiakj|jp- Os me full oft and fondly. Heaven is full Os stars, the air is bright with teauty, earth I’ full of dewy music, and inv soul Brimful I of all around me and of love. What tenderness is u’ent with natures’s wild And sweet perfections. Ay, her eye is bright, And yet the lid seems ever charged with tears. This is the clearness cf her glory, this The chain w hose tear-drop links unite our hearts, These human hearts of ours, to her in love. Here let this sweet and ?oflly kissing breeze Twine through my fl >iting hair its finger? cool And dewy; ab, tueihinks it have been With its sole presence round some brow I love, Or caught to-night, ’mid mingled smiles and tears, My murmured name, sweet as thine own toft sighs. It may have lingered round some kneeling form, And felt its being stirred with prayer. Come, then, Thou breeze, 1 take thee to my very soul. Thia world of melody, this wide-spread sea Os light ineffable, this yie’ding. Fofc Ethereal love-tmile, glide, oh glide into My soul. Give me one swee’ and deathless drop From thine own sea cf liquid lig* t, to dwell Within the chalice of my being here Forever and forever. My soul feels The quiet glory of thia n-ene.

New and Portable Air Gun. —We were yesterday afternoon admi ted to a private in spection and demonstration of the powers of a newlv invented air gnu, the production of Mr. F. D.

The whole of the bul lets perforated most completely a'hick plank target, and indented a plate of quarter inch sheet iron placed at the hack- The exhibition cook place in the large L*sc ure room, No. 11, Lime street, and was attended by many scien tific gentlemen, who freely inquired as to the various properties and advantages of the in vention, all of which were Ka i-daciorily ex p’aincd by Mr. Arstu'i and his int dligeat assis tant. By means of thia gun, a charge of at mosphere air can be effacted in two or three minutes, sufficient to propel at leas: a hundred balls in instantaneous succession; ai d as (here is neither flash ner report, nnd the weapon is much lighter than the ordinary musket, we have no doubt that, among many ocher uses to which it may be applied, in new colonies, where settlers are thinly scattered, it will prove in- afford - agamst predatory incursions. For our own part, we were more particu larly struck with the advantages offered by the adaptability of the weapon to a charge of car bonic acid gas; a power so easily generated, the material* being so plentifully found in ail countries and situations, and the otter impos •ibility of explosion beirg so Fecurely guarded against, simply by keeping the acid and alka line solu'ion in separate tub’s, and allowing a small drop of each to meet in the gas tube at each opening of the trigger. The inventor states that he has only par ially perfected his ideas at p esent; when completed, we have no doubt it will prove the “ head pacificator” of the world, by the very intensity of its destruc tive power, and its portable and cheap ammu nition.—Liverpool Chronicle. June 28 Coal the C*uss of Englands Greatness— 7Ae Future Grcatu .si cf the V. Sates— During a brief sojourn f f that einmen; i.eologi.-t, Hugh Miller, in England, he critically examined the carboniferous districts, especially the coal fields of central England, to which she has for so many years owed her flourishing trade. Its area, he remarks: ‘•Scarcely equals that of one of the Scottish lakes, thirty mites long and eight broad yet how many steam engines has it set in motion ? How many railway trains has it propelled,and how many millions of tons of iron has it ra sad to the surface, smelted and hammered ? It has made Birmingham a great city—the ‘‘first iron depot of Europe ” “ And if one small field has done so much,” he says, "what may we expect from >hoao vas*. basins laid down by Lyell in the Geological map of the United Stares? When glancing over the thee huge coal fields of the Unueu Slates, each surround ed wth its ring of old rad sand-stone, I called to mind the prophecy of Berkeley, and thought I could at leng h see what he could not, the scheme of its fulfilment ilo saw Persia re signing »he seep re to Macedonia, Greece to Rome, and R ime to Western Europe, which abuts on rhe Atlantic. WhenAmesica was cov ered with forests, he anticipated an age when tbst country would occupy as prominent a place among the nations as had been occupied by Syria and Rome. Its enormous coal fields, , some cf t'em eq ia' in extent toad England, seem destined to form no mean element in its greatnt as. If u patch containing but a few square miles has done so much for central En gland, what may not fields, containing many hundred square leagues, do for the United Sta.es ?” Inventions.—lt is said that a young artisan of Cincinnati has succeeded in the art of japßiinii g free stone slabs with an enamel of a kind of g‘an, which will resist the action of com- < mon acid’Jhtreby making the stone to represent perfectly the finest Egyptian marble, and that ata very tr.fl ng cos..

Tne Sumatra “ Outrage ” —TAs otAe* fide of the Story.— A writer in the Boston Daily Advertiser, who seems to know what he is wri ting about, opposes the suggestion that a U 1 States vessel of war should be sent out to pro feet American ships and American seamen from such depredations and assaults as those recently recognized. The Advertiser’s caries ponden’, indeed, looks upon those Sumatra savages, as more sinned against, than bion.ng. He says: “During the year 1841, I was for five months on their coas-t, in versela employed in this trade, and am well convinced th it a well disciplined ship, with twenty turn, and well armed, is inviacib’e to any force they can mutter—and n»“reover if all our cap- V ins who go there, would bat deal fairly with (hem, we should not heir of these cares <f murder and rob bery. 1 was there three months, with Cttpt.

Curious Discovery in Bulgaria —A very curious hat just been mads in the province of Bulgaria, in Turk y. Some Greek workmen, in cfigg‘ n S °fifr the village of tnaui'eah and the 10‘*<hof Hadzah, found a large table of grey colored marble ; they re moved it. and found one fy-neath exactly sim ilar ; having removed that also, they saw a great numberof objects ahiuing like gold and silver. They hastened to the capta nos the district, snd that functionary, assi-ted by two ecclesiastics, proceeded to make an examina tion. They found a skeleton of larae stature, with a copper helmet on his head, surrounded by a thin crown of gold ; the hands and arms up to the elbows were stained with something of a bronze color x in the right hand was a copper chain, withan inceu«e box of the same metal covered wit.i verdigris, on the third fin ger of the left band was a gold ring, with the figure* in Roman characters, 966. By the side of the skeleton were three cups inaiiver very briliant. and twenty rx cups in iron very rusty but bearing traces of having been grided; there were also an immense number of nails, and about five hundred arrows,and the points rusty.

After examining at Vienna aii that cou'd be learnt of the natuie of thi Austrian Go vernment, he won’, on fjot, as has teen his custom elsewhere, into tbe Magyar country in Hungary.— He was hospitably received among thi late rebeh. as a citizen of that land which bad sheltered the Hun gnridD exiles, and he visited many of tht count:y Beats of the leaders.

Prince Schwartzeuburg informed Mr. McCurdy that the accusations against him were that he bad letters of introduction to the late rebels fron refugees in Arae rica; tbit a printed copy of a revolutionary pamphlet had been found ia bis carpet bag, and that he took circuitous paths to v sit euspee’ed persons. from the representations made to Mr. McCurdy by tbe Austrian ■uthorities, it would eppeir that he must undergo a regular trial, which will be a painful thing for a voting mao of twenty fi*e, separate far from every countryman, in a nation that looks with jealousy upon every Ameiican. Our Minister observes that he has been promised by tha highest auihoriliea, that nothing harsh or un jus' shall befall him. Au investigation has been made in Vienna, of his character and pursuits while there, and that has been favorable to his final release. We think tnat this is a case which calls for the immediate, prompt aud energetic action of our Go vernment, and we are much mistaken if such an ap peal will be iu vain.

Jwmal of JW9IX Oregon* Tho Bobtun Traveller La? a loiter dated at Columbia river om thp 23d May, from which we muke the following ex’rac a: “Oregon is fait heroming a State; its in crease is as rapid as is oonshtent with durabil ity. The census taken last tall shows the population to have been 13.000, and, allowing 2.C00 for that portion of the Into emigrants not included in the above, we have 15,000. By advices frotu the frontier, and the constant influx from California, we may safely calculate upon an increase of 10,000 during the present year. Thus you see the time is not far distant when we shall be knocking at the door of the Union for admission. And a valuable acquisi tion we shall prove. Oregon is not only un surpassed as an agricultural region, but she ia rich in minerals. Vast beds of coal of an ex cellent quality have been di'covered on the Cowlitz and in Puget’s Sound- iron ore ia abundant on the Columbia* and gold, p’aiina, copper, lead, plumbago, sulphur, and salt, are among those already found in this but little known Territory. Her hill sides are clothed with gigantic timber, and her valleys need only the ploughshare and the seed to make them rich with golden crops. “The commeice of Oregon is rapidly'in creasing ; already three fines of oc?an steam ers connect us with our more southern neigh bors, and sail vessels are last multiplying. Ttie over'and emigration of the prevent yetr will be enabled to avoid a very difficult part of their journey by a line of steamboats that will ply above and below the Cascade*, beisg connect ed by a railroad around the Falls. This will obviate the necessity of climbing (he precipi tous and barren road that winds around Mount Hood. “ The land bill passed at the last session of Congress is far frum being satisfactory. Tne clause which makes it necessary to reside upon the land for four successive years ac:s vory unfairly upon the mercnanls, mechanics, mari ners, teachers, &c , who from the nature of their calling, are obliged to live in towns; so that in fact the land is only donated to farmers. This, with many other parts, meets with uni versal con jemna'ion. “ The young ladies went out by Gov. Slade as teachers have arrived ; and notwiihstanding the bond of five hundred dollars imposed ou them in case of marriage wahin a year, they have created qui’e a sensation among the un married gentlemen. And as the land hill makes every lady worth three hundred and twenty aerts, if taken before December next, you will be quite safe in behev.icg that Oregon will soon be without teachers, unless another supply is dispatched immediately. Ihe Board of Indian Commissioners will leave on the 28ih to visit severs of the great tribes living iu the north east.” Observations on the Mamboth Cave. — The May number of Silliman’s Journal contains an interesting account cf the Mammoth Cavn, in a letter addressed to Prof. Guyot by Prof. Benj. Silliman, Jr., who has recent!/ made an explo ration of its mysteries; and also, in connection with Mr. R. N. Manteli, made a collection of the animals found there. One atmospheric pheno menon attracted the attention of thete gentle men, and tasked their ingenuity fora satisfac tory explanation, viz : The blast of cool air blowing outward from the mouth of the Cave, which renders it nearly impossible to enter with a lighted lamp. If the external air has a tempe rature of 90° Fahr , the blast amounts to a gale ; but if the air without has a temperature of 59 60 J , no current is observed, and the flame of a lamp held in a favorable position, indicates none, it immediately occurred tome (said Prof. Silli men) that there must be two curren is, one above of warmer air, passing inward, and one below of colder air passing outward, and the reverse, but experiment s.>on satisfied me that this was not the case. Only one current could be discovered, andon inquiry of our intelligent guide, I found that this phenomenon hid attracted hia atten tion, and that he was satisfied from many ob servations that only one current existed, and that this flared out when tbe external air was above 60°, and inward when this was below 60°. The phenomenon is accounted for by Prof. Silliman on scientific principles, as follows: The mouth of the cave is the only communica tion between the external air and the vast laby rinth of galleries and avenues wnich stretch away for many miles in the solid limestone. The air in these underground excavations is pure and cxhilerating which may, in part, be accunted for by the nitre beds of incredible ex tent, as the nitrogen which is consumed in the formation of the nitrate of lime must have its proportion of five oxygen disengaged, thus en riching this subterranean atmoshere with a larger portion of the exhlierating principle. The temperature of the cave is uniformly 59-’, Summer and Winter, and this is probably very near to the annual mean of the external air. The expansion which accompanies an eleva tion of temperature in the outer air is immediate ly felt by the denser air oi the cave, and it flows out in obedience to the law ot motion in fluids, and the outward current continues without interruption ns long as the outer air is possessed of a higher temperature than the cave. The phenomena of life within the cave are comparatively few but interesting. There are several insects, the largest of which is a sort of cricket, with enormously long antennas. There are several species of Calenp(era, mostly burrow ing in the nitre earth. There are some small species of water insects supposed to be crusta ceou«. Os fish, are xma of which, as is well known, is entirely eyeless; the other has external eyes, but is quite blind. The only mammal, except the bats, is a rat, which is very abundant. Prof. Sifiiman is of opinion that the excavations of the Mammoth Cave have been formed by water, and by no oth er ca use. Foucault’s Printing Machine for the Blind —in a recent notice of the proceedings of the Paris Society for the encouragement of Arts, <fcc., we mentioned that a i .edal had been awar’edto M. Foucault for an invention, by which the blind are enabled to communicate their ideas by writing, or rather priming A go.d medal was also awarded to M. Foucault, by theiuryatthe Paris Exposition, in 1949, on which occasion the instrument was first exhibi ted. ‘ln order fully to appreciate,” say the jury, in their report on this mat hme, “the great im portance of this valuable invention, we have but to think oi the great length of time which has elapsed s:nce the want of such a machine has been felt, and the number of experiments which M. Foucalt must have performed, to have ena bled him to overcome the numerous difficulties with which he had to c jnleud. “Many effort i, and those too deserving of the highest pra’se, have, from time to time, been made, in order to enable the bund to correspond with those to whom the faculty of sight has been granted. “The dependence, sometimes dangerous, and always embarrassing, on the hand of another, to communicate (heir ideas in writing, is now, thanks to the discovery of M. Foucault, rendered unnecessary. Os all the methods adopted to give graphic expression to the ideas of the blind, M. F oucault has chosen the one which may be considered as the simplest and most perfect. In fact, by the use of this machine, the bli id are even more favorably circumstanced than those who are able to see, inasmuch as th* y are enabled to write without having learned how to form a single letter. Ali that is required is, to know how to read by the touch, in order to be capable of expressing their ideas in an eminently legible manner, since all the ie. ters are in typogiaphic characters. “The process employed to obtain this interest ing resut is as follows : All the letters of the alphabet, executed in relief, and of large dimen sions, are sited in the upper extremity ot a me talic rod, made to slide longitudinally, with a suitable contiguous canal; they are placed on the same plane, and in th .• form of a vane, each of them exhibiting on its lower part, the same letter as on its upper part. This letter, of a small size, is exactly that of a printing charac ter; the mechanical arrangement is such, that all the ’etiers converge towards the same point, and on being successively pressed r»y the fingers, the impress of each becomes p-aced above, form ing only a black mass; but whenever a letter is touched, the paper by the same movement, changes its place, and thus the writing, or rather printing is produced, which is at the same time distinct well arranged, and properly spaced, when the line is fi fished, ihe paper changes place in a perpendicular direction to the former and the operation is renewed. •‘ln addition to this, a series of types, forming ciphers, and all the supplementary marks used in writing, is placed in the same way, and in a place convergent with the former; the general arrangement being, that all the types, whatever their order may have been at first, set their im press on the same point. M. Foucault prefers the use of tracing paper, such as is employed in copying machines. Th? manipulation is ex tremely simple, and admits of great rapidity of execution.” The jury concluded by complimenting M.

AarincraL Tortz.—M. D.iubrec has commu nicated to the Paris Academy of Sciences the resultsot some researches on the artificial for mation of Topaz. Pure alumina, j reriously cal cined by a bright red heat, is submitted to the action of a current of fluoride of silicon. After two exposures of this kind, the alumina increas ed tn weight 70 per cent. The product contain ed fluorine, and what was more, this fluorine is in such a sure of combination, as not to be acted upon by boiling concentrated sulphuric acid. By thischaracterist c jione, the substance produced offers a great resemblance to topaz, the four eonrtituent elements of which it also contains. A quantitative analysis indica ed its very near approach to, if not identity with, topaz. Its identity, (specific gravity 1) which is 3.47, is the same as that of natural topaz.

The chances of temper ature ol the atmosphere, the electric shock, the caueesof rain, snow and hail, the wind, earth quakes, volcanoes, &c. can pever be understood or successfully investigated without a know ledge of Chemistry. In the natural world around us, the earth with all its varied produc tion-', the germination a d the growth of plants, the structure of the eartli itself and its ten thousands of singular formations are all striking ly illustrated by the laws and principles el chemical science. As un art, Chemistry is also ! intimately conncccd with every kind of manufac ' turee. The smith at his forge, the founder at j the furnace, the goldsmith at the crucible, the , dyer in his shop, and the mason at his labor ass ' all practical chemists. The potter, the glare I blower, the tanner, the bleacher, and the soap , maker all illustrate the fact that a knowledge of j chemistry is almost indispensable in every de ’ partment in life. Even the agriculturist who has heretofore generally been considered as in dependent ol science in his calling as any class of men, finds a knowledge of chemistry not only necessary, but so intimately connected with a successful prosecution of his pursuit as to render it now a subject of special interest and constant study. A knowledge of the soil which he cultivates, its chendealanalysis, its constit uent parts and properties, their nature and quali ties, are absolutely indispensable to its success ful culture ; and tn medicine, perhaps more than anything else, a thorough knowledge of this science is requisite. Who would be willing to trust his life or his health even, in the hands of one without a full knowledge of the ingredient? and their properties which he administers 1 Who would sufleran individual to administer a deadly narcotic, even in the most minu.e parti cles without a proper knowledge of its chemical qualities and effects I We venture the assertion that none would willingly be guilty of an indis cretion like this, and yet many there are who look upon a knowledge of chemistry as unim portant and the time necessary to acquire such knowledge but little better than lost. The principles of an art of such practical utility cannot be too well understood, even by those who do not aspire to be scientific men. There is a harmony as beautiful as it is useftlin nil the arts and sciences, and a knowledge ol each, to a limited extent, at least, seems indispensable to the well being and success of every person, no matter how humble his calling. But an art or a science which has to do with almost every occu pation, as already intimated, ought to be en titled to a more general study. We are amongst those who do not believe that anyoi the arts and sciences have as yet attained their ultimatum in accomplishing all that they are destined to do for the welfare of our coun try and the world. The almost universal appli cation of steam as an agent acting upon matter, and the use of electricity as an agent acting upon mind, are only so many evidences of whit is yet to be accomplished by a more perfect de velopment of the arts ami sciences when their application shall hat e been brought to a greater state of perfection than at present. The pro gress which has been made from year to year in developing the application of the arts made from year to year, in contributing to the happiness of mankind, excites onr wonder and admiration ; and we apprehend that succeeding generations are to witness such diplays of them as com pared with those at which we now wonder and •o much admire, will be as oceans to the small drop in the bucket. Excitement at Lexington—Man Snot by a Woman I—We learn by passengers in the cars from Lexington yesterday, thit someting like a tragedy came near being enacted at that place, about 11 o'clock, on Monday mzring. We could not learn the full details, but the gist of the matter is about this. A short time since a young lady of some 15 years, a Miss Merrill, ian oil with a man whose name we did not hear, and was married to her at Aberdeen, opposite Maysville. More recently, some difficulty hav ing taken place between the parties, the man stated publicly that the marriage was a sham, and cast reflections on the character of his wife. Incensed thereat and curing with a desire for revenge, the injured lady begged her brother and brother-iii-law to resent the insult. Failing to comply with her wishes, the resolute female took the matter in her own hands. She pro- < cured pistols, and having familiarized herself | with their use, she sallied out in quest of her . husband. Meeting him on Ma n street, she drew j the weapon and placing it at his head pulled the . trigger. In her hurry and agitation she had only half-cocked it, and it would not go off. In 1 another moment it was properly fixed and dis- ’ charged, but the man having in the mean time < turned round, the contents, consisting of three buck-shot,only grazed his aim and back, inflict- i ing flesh wounds without doing any serious < aamage. Thinking she had killed him, the lady | gave herself in charge of a magistrate, but soon ; ascer'aining he was only elishtiy hurt, she J drew another pistol and started after him again. ( He had employed his time to good advantage, ' however, and succeeded In making his escape and secreting himself. The citizens of Lexing ton were so incensed against him, that in order to avoid being lynched, he fled the city that night.— Lou Cour. Sih inst.

POLITICAL. From the Savannah Republican. The Constitutionalist and Secession. Origin of tha phrase “ths best we can get " ‘■Hut it is salutary to show up these pliant tools of party —these ftcilesheets. — Constitutionalist. June VUh, 1851. We were so struck with the truth of the above remark of the Constitutionalist, that we determined, in the language of Gov. McDon ald, ‘'to vet it down as a political axiom, to be acted on” as occasion might require. But where were we tn begin its application 1 The question was a puzzling one- In onr '‘large hberty” wo decided to let the Constitutionalist get the benefit of its own rub, and out of the manifold inconsistencies of that paper, all nesd inp to be “shown up ( ' ! to select as a specimen of its course on the subject with which we head this article—Secession. As above binted, the difficulty whs not in finding matter, but in "electing it. The number of “rich hits” to which we fennd that paper exposed w»s ex ceedingly perplex ng. The truth is. we a'e uncertain even yet whether our choice has been a correct one. On the compromise quo - tion in general, the Constitutionalist lies "de lightfully open ” Whatever sides the question a- to “non-intervention” has to it, the Constitu Honalist has been on trtem all. As to the right of Secession, it has been consia'ent in only one of its applications, and that has been the exer cise < f the sovereign right of “seceding” from its own position, whenever it seemed good in its own eyes. Any body on either sido of this question—or as it has had more than two sides —on any side of it, may find hie side advocated in the files of that paper. Let not the moder ate man, nor the extreme man—no matter a' which end —despair, for a persevering search will at length reward him with arguments for his posi'iou, amongst olhe'S. The Secession man may find his side ablv ro presented in the C onstitulionatist of Sept. 11th. 1850. If one doubts about tecession, howev er, yet is anxious to do something or other, let him turn for argument to the Constiiut onalist of Oct. Ist. Here be will find a ‘‘word of caution” with which to add teas hie fiery neigh bor. If that neighbor be too tame, turn him over to the Constitutionalist of Sept. 21e*., at.d he will learn that Secession is preferable to “Unconditional Submission,” i. e. the Com promise as it stands. The leaning of the 25<h Nov. is evidently towards a Southern Confed eracy, (if we are at liberty to judge of mea surer by their tendency, a doubtful point.) If any one was frightened by any of the foregoing positions, he ht r only to turn on till he reaches the 28th of April, 1851. to find se cession butied, and it* obsequies observed. Il is neither advocated by lie Constitutionalist nor by any body else—at or about that time. Should a fragmentary doubt remain on his mind, lest a Southern Confederacy at least is contemplated, the Constitutionalist will at length be found on the Southern Rights plat form of May 28th, which gives the go by to all such ideae. The lapse of lime alone can show where the Constitutionalist will next be found. There is. however, no Van Bureniam about it. When it is on one side, it is on that side, and no mistake, till it changes. There is no mis aking ils present direction. The difficulty with the Constitutionalist is solely in keeping direction. It always takes it decidedly The article of Sept. 11 th, 1350, to which we refer, is an adopted editorial from the Colum bus Times, under the caption, “The Gaoigia Convention—Secession the Remedy." We quote but one or two sentences :—“lf the ac tion of Congress makes it imperative on the Governor, under the instruction of the Legis lature, to call the Convention, our own first choice will be for secession, and outvotes and efforts will be steadily given to effect thatend.” ‘We go, then, for secession—quietlv, if let alone; forcibly,if ma la necessary.” Perhaps even “separate State action’’ would not then have been too strong for the Constitutionalist, for see how it continues: “Georgia has said to abolition, ‘Do this thing if yru dare.’ If abo lition does it. sha I Georgia ue sustained by her sons, or abandoned to humiliating defeat and disgrace? We ataud by Georgia. Who speaks next?” The next one that spoke was the Constitu tionalist, adopting the editorial. The conclu ding words, “who speaks uen‘” seem to have been a banter by the latter for more allies to join the two who had already spoken. But the paper of October 19th undertakes to clear the whole matter up, and to render it as ‘ clear as mud, ” that tho editor was irresponsi ble for the adopted editorial. The explanation is made to the editor of the Southern Banner, and runs thus: “Wo will kiu.lly mention, therefore, for his relief, that when the article frvin the Times was copied in our paper, we had no’ returned from a tour prompted by enfeebled health, and that we never siw the piece which has produced so alarming an effect up»n the editor ol the Bsnner, until after it appeared in the Constitutionalist. Our absence, we suppose, was no Becrety—ConstUutionaiist, Oct. 191A, 1850. We wonder if the editor ever got hack any more. There seems to have been no retraction published, e*se the Banner would have been re lieved without the article of October 19. h. The credit of the Constitu iomlist seemed pledged for the redemption of its obligations until the paper was b,ought home for payment. Then tbe act of the sub edi or seems for the firat time to have been publicly rebuked. Be fore that time, it passed current under tne sign manual of ihe Constitutionalist, good for its face, made by the Times and endorsed by the Constitutionalist in blank. We add, however, ihat the issue of October Ist did represent se cession as a thing io be considered’’ of very carefully, and helped to relieve the Consfitu fionalist from the chaige of favoring it then as '•firit (hoice ” This it must be remembered, passed with its readers, not as a repudiaiion of the former editorial, but merely tuona of its cjs umary changes of sin.iment. If any bod y was left in doubt as to the posi tion of the Constitute’ naliil on the subject of Secession after the Ihh Sept., on which day recession seems to have been *fi-«t ct.oice,” and failed to have his doubts removed by the issue of October Ist. on which day “secession” was a thing to be gone into very considerately, a reference to the issue of October 19th would probably have enabled him to perceive that • Bece*aion” at that time was not far off from “last choire, 1 a continuation of his search to Apiil 15ih. 1851. would have shown that • secess on,” (forsaken of i s friends!) was ac tually a “false issue” and grown obsolete The programme of Nov. 25th was a South ern Congress, and thorough sectional organ isation. As ihe Constitutionaliot now stands square up on tha Southern Rights platform of May 28 h, 1851, which is silent as death on •bese points, it is probable that even a “South ern Confederacy,” much less secession per se, would not be endorsed by it- It would seem on the whole that on at least this one of the great questions of the day this paper has displayed a lau iab’e impartiality. Every man who likes to hoar both sidts, but only wishes to take one paper, can do equal justice all round by subscribing to the Cousti t Htionalist. We have referred only to the of secession—or rather its applications— but a like impartiality has been extended to ot he r issues. It fi as been, and now is, prodigiously “anti- Comp. T omue.” It defends i.self vigorously, ho we vt’r, against tie charge of ever having been “f<.' r Compromise ” in its issue of Oct. 6th, after quoting the editorials of Miy loth, 16th and it states “this may be called advocacy o« ’ the Compromis?, but it certainly looks also like U with faint praise. 1 The Cons tituaonalis: is perfectly correct on this point, an d we do it the j rstice to acknow ledge it- Ine ver was /or tha Compromise ' perse,” but o uly •« “the best we can get ” By the way, wl w was the author ofthat phrase? It id a very notu We phrase. We find the Corn promise sustained, nvt upon its merit!, but as “the best the Sou t<h can get,” by the Consti'u tionalist of the 9.h May, 1959. Can anyone trace it further back ? We do find it the Con stitti ions ist of May 15th, the que»t*on a.-keds “Canbetter terms be gotforlha Sjuth I”—but these are not the identical words. Much sar casm has been indulged in by the press at the expense of “the bear we ran get” policy, and if we mistake not, the Corntitutiona ist has not let me ludicrous phrase escape i s own w tiicism. We wonder if it was “poking fun” at its own offspring! We have not got a com plete file, but, as the Constitutionalist was very variant about that time, think it likely it laugh ed at “the best we can «el” about November or December. 1850 We are confident it has done so at some time. 1 he inexorable impartiality which leads the Constnu ionab.st to mske of its own po si’.ions is highly pran’eworhy. As the paper has a wide circulation it can do no harm to offset its present positions by its past, gad let the public judge upen the wtele case- We have appealed only to the pusiic course.of the paper having no information bi? what is com mon to all i a readers. We may be tempted at some future time to help me pubuc to de cide on the merits of the Comprom 'se bills, and o her great questions by presenting' thorn with e Zaideaof chose questions as adv.tcai.ed m the Cori’Htmtonalist. 1/ any plea was v’ant ing for the liberty we have taken, and prepose piobably to take again, the motto we have iec.ed would furnish it.

Wiggins, and your chairman General Tarver, with the aid of Governor McDonald, the President of the disunion Convention at Nashville, hove done as much to break up and ruin the old Democratic party, as any man in the S"itf; exempt the old nullifiera, Colquitt, Howard, Henry G Laimr, and other* who were hi :ked out of the Whi« party in 1810, and crept, like serpents into PuradiFe, into the Dem ocratic party and have now succeeded, together with you, in laying their polluted hands on old party al tars, breaking them to pieces; and now you wbo have broken up our old party, have the face in many places to denounce tbit most uniform, consistent Democrat of the party, Howell Cobb, as a rentgade, and claim yourselves to be (he party. 1 notice in the newspapers that your party (roes by the name of Democrat in some co'intie», (Dooly amongst the rest,) an I State Rights in ethers, end Southern Rights in others At the Convention in Milledgeville you adopted no n ime for your party, and your escalation sterns to te to pracice fraud and deception on the peo' le. But my opininn, Gul, Wiygin*. is, that the people can see farther into ilia motives of you and Gov, McD »na'd than you think fcr. You are both vreat men, 1 know, but the peo ple are not as bin fools as you seem to take them fuF, anil I think the election in October will convince you of the fact.

Howsll Cobb.—This distinguished gentleman addressed hiefe low-citizens, in this (lace, ou Wednesday last, in compliance with bin published promise. Ou no occasion have we seen assembled in our city more of the voting population of the coun try, and surely we have never seen a p ibiic speaker listened to wiib more fa’icnce and attention. Con trary to former custom, there was n > interruption, no demonstrations of party cr personal violence, no at tempt to overawe the speaker, or control the free opinions cf men by ar» exhibition o( tumult and force. That evil time is passed, and men now fin.i it more prudent to address their arguments to tne reason and judgment of the miuaes, rather than to their fears. it was our purpose to have let the speech of Mr* Crbb pass wiihcut note oi coinmen', inasmuch ns he in'ends to addresi '.lie people throughout toe a'most entire region of the circulation of our paoer, but as be has been arraigned by our neighbor of the Times as a federa'ist and a comuli la’ionist. we tnav be par doned for asking in what potion of hi* speech any federal doctrine was nreed ? Throughout tn* whole address he maintained the rights and sovereignty of the States, yielding to the general Government such powers only as are expressly grunted by the Cons i tution. Is this federal octrine 9 He urged that in & great crisis of the country, when pa riots every where were trembling lor the safety cf ttie Union, and dangers from every quarter were threatening to destroy the Government, men of both the pjr* lice in Congress jlined in an effort to w.rd fff the catastrophe and tute the country. In this effort ha joined, and was proud to think th t the effort was successful. W« suppose this was the act which made him a federalist.

But according to the views, or pretended v'ewi rather, of our opponents, t jere is Lui one thing now that ii worth talking ebcut, and that is the abstract, naked light of secession. This right Mr. Cobb ad* milled and in express terma avowed that when a State in its sovereign capacity and by its regular con stitute i and eenstitutional agents to k its course, ttui’» the Federal Gevernrsent had no legator conslitutiaa al authority tu control such State by force.
