The Belief Measure" has been ably discussed; ha absurdity and justice so fully shown; its inevitable tendency to produce batik inptcy of tbe State—its anti-republican spirit in tax ing one part of the community for tbe relief of another, haYe been so .clearly demonstrated, that we. bare heretofore refrained from writing .or selecting any articles upon the subject. We know the Loco-Focos, in the ag onies of their political dissolution, are grasping at'thin striw for safety; but they roust sink, and with them this hum- tog ■ of State Bonds and Belief. The people arc no longer to be gulled by flattering visions of the glittering of Gold, through tbe instercities of a silken pane, nor still worse, by a prospect of an abundance of Central money, at twenty percent, discount,.while they must pay for it par value.

Aqd. why did he tbua decide ? Were not , the offered witnesses in tbe case mentioned, unimpeachable in all the moral relations of life? That they were, was not denied. But now the crime, the" legal crime which degrades them tol the level of the negro, aye, with rights below even the convicts let loose from our State Prison.—With the priv ilege of free moral agents, thiuking and acting for themselves, they had taken tlie Bible into their own hands, and care fully examining its sacred pages, had honestly come to the conclusion that tbe punishment of our sins was not postpon ed to a long indefinite period, far in thro lapse of ages, but followed the wicked transgressor, in this life. That they did not believe in future pun ishments, constituted their legal inabili ty to testify. What is the nature of the obligation of an oath ? Is it not that an offended Deity will furnish its performance? And do not Universal- ists believe this ?

Concealment of our real position is ridiculous—England has engineered every battery and counted every gun, which now represent tho en masse bulwark of our resistance, and she is not scrupulously careful in letting us understand that she can demonstrate fractionally the extent ofthose resources. The insolence of superior power has made her arrogant, and were it not for overshadowing influence of the unmask ed port holes of the 225 ships of France, England before this day would have dared to speak in a tone, not reconcile- able to even the calculating conscience of America.

Dawson's with drawing from the Gubernatorial canvass in Georgia, we know of none more like ly to shcceed. His affability, talents, industry, and winning manners have secured him the esteem and codfidence of the whole House, and there is no man Congress, who possesses more affec tionately the sincere and permanent re gard of both parties than William C. Dawson. In his dolitical tenets, you behold him firm, generous and undis- gised, a competitor whom eveiy honor able opponent should be proud to take by the hand and enrol on the catalogue of his friendship. Possessing every requisite and qualification he has all the tact to smooth the rugged roads of an gry discussion, and cool the unfortunate bitterness of party conflict. But beyond all this, his lofty and unalloyed patriotism is entitled to the most exalted respect. When the voice and power of his State were against him, when the arm of pros cription was raised, as if to strike with its paralizing influence, did he quail falter ? No—true to the great principles which he had ever advocated and sustain ed, true to himself and the country, he remained firm and undaunted, and as sociated with a gallant band. They warned Georgia of her delusion—they pourtrayed the recklessness of the party in office—they exhibited the sufferings of a whole people, and pointed out the sources whence the injustice emanated —*hey toiled and toiled, until she was awakened—until the lethargy had been cast off, and she sto<Ml forth gloriously redeemed, associated in tha ptoud galaxy of those who had again rallied to the rescue of constitutional liberty. And when the contest was over, and the battle had been won, did we find him claiming any of its honors, or asking for any of its triumphs ? No-—he was con tent that the great object had been at tained—that the country had been saved. He had not been stimulated by self; the common weal was his only object. We hope that Mr. Dawson may be induced to become a candidate, as we may ven ture to prediot a favorable result. The Consulship to Liverpool has been a matter of some discussion, and the prominence of the principal appli cants has, so far, made the result ques tionable. Those in the fore-ground for this appointment, are Silas E Burrows, of New 1 York, and John C. Clarke, lead ing conservative member of the lower House. Both the gentlemen would do honor to the office, and both are eminent ly distinguished. Wo think fortune will turn in favor of the latter.
