Mr. Neal, a bill to authorize the Sher iffs and Clerks of the Superior, luferior and Clerks of the Court of Ordinary of 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.
