Mr. Neal, a bill to authorize the Sher

rprtse he may engage.—
Although the customs, fashions, and
stale practicalities of the present age,
may be regarded as objectionable in a
certain sense, as tending to decoy pub
lic attention away from the pursuits of
science and philosophy, to offe
more fervent devotions to the God of
wealth; yet we think we can clearly
discern in the wonder-working influen
ces of the present generation, powerful
and irresistible motives to active dili
gence and industry in every practical
science of the age, and so much of
philosophy as is made practically sub
servient to the wants nnd convenience
of man in his schemes of invention, and
in all the moving spheres of improve
ment. What shall we say, then?—
Shall we condemn the spirit of the pres
ent age? No! But let us improve up
on it; let us hold it in check, and if phi
losophy and science are forgotten or neg
lected in the race of riches, let
them forward, and bring them be!<
the public mind, and claim for them I
that share of public attention, which
shall comport with the lofty hearing ami
influence which they control over men
and manners in the social, civil, and do
mestic circles of society, notwithstand
ing the many objectionable features and
unfavorable inclinations in the spirit ol
the present age. Yet it is probable
that weean point to no era in the world’s
history, where the principles of pro
gress, and the spirit of enterprise, and
rigid; constant perseverance, hartno-
lized better, or were more beautifully
xempilfied, than at present. Although
ve charge upon the present the weighty
ihjection ol being the age of prnciicali-
ies, yet they are practicalities of a civ-
lized kind, borrowed from philosophy,
science and religion—the power and
influence of which is spread out on the
wind, and waited to every land, and
every sea on the face of all the
earth.—Princeton Herald.

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
Washington, Jan. 23.
Gen. Cass’s elaborate anti able argu
ment against the Wilmol Proviso was
concluded yesterday, and is highly
commemied. G» n. Cass announced,
in the outset, that he would vote against
the Proviso, contrary to his instructions,
and resign his seat. If he can establish
his principle of non-intervention, he will
gain an immortal triumph, but nothing
has occurred to show that the N'
will yield the assumed power to prohibit
slavery in the Stales. The Senate, as
now constituted, will not deem if expe
dient to exert the power, and it is yet
to be seen whether Congress will ngret
to a compromise of the question. 1
has been stated that the passage o! the
( Wilmol Proviso, in the Senate, will de-
cai O j pend on the vote of a Senator from Del-
aware. But I believe this to be a mis
take. Thirty-three Senators, as I am
assured, will vote against it. Of the
