It says: “ We protest that the Republican Is nothalf right, now that tho election Is over, and the faces or vanquished as well as victors nretoUold asasummor lake,’ In raking up what we said against Us party daring an exciting con tent, which seemed as likely as not to result In a sound •thereof;’ by which we mean to say that we can t accept our neighbor’s challenge to discuss tho comparative merits or tho two parties until tho approach of the next canjrnM. In the mean time we an) willing to regarf our Whig IT tends, as wo know many of them are, as tho cleverest eltowstn the world. As men and as gentlemen we like -homjual as weUas wo do their opponents.” • We understand, tom this, that our. contemporary Is filling to regard the Whigs tom this this time until tho 'next election, “as tho cleverest follows In the world.* 1 ■For the present, he grants thorn an amnesty, but at“ the approach of the next canvass,” he will bo ready enough to discuss their principles, and to denounco them fo .their want of consistency and honesty. Now, we submit, whether th# calm which succeeds an election Is not ‘more favorsblo to fair and dlspaislonaie discussion, than ho blUerneas and excitement of the canvass. In the former, men’s minds ate cool and unclouded; In the latter, they are excitod, and warped by such flagitious charges and intemperate appeals, os those recently made by the '.Otorgian. , “The cleverest fellows In the worldP’ Whigs will appreciate this compliment at Its true value. How our conteioporaiy can “like them ns men and genlle- .men,” Just as well as hts own political friends, and still stigmatise them us renegades, ready for “anything, po matter what,** Is beyond our understanding. The man who U destitute of political virtue, In our Judgment, Will be found to be destitute of personal virtue also. If lie be corrupt In politics, he will be corrupt In private lire. To diner tom a man Is not to Impugn Ids sincerity pud honesty. But the Georgian went beyond this. It was not content to differ tom the Whigs, but went on to aoouse them of offences, of which no honornblo man tu private lire could ever be guilty in a public capacity, or a like character was a recent communication In the Morning JWwv, (that neutral press!) which charged the committee or SI, appointed by tbo Cllixeus’ meeting, with being ” tools" In tho hands ortho Republican. We trust the Georgian will be more careful for the Al lure, and that it wilt not again have to decline a discus sion which ita Imprudence was calculated to provoke. > 'Kindness to Gan. Piaaca.—Nineteen out of the twenty-three Pierce Electors, of the Bute of Ohio, have pulled in recommending Bamokl Mkdary, the editor of the Columbus Stateeman, to a place In Pierce’s Cabinet We observe that the Presidential Electors of Penney!* • Vania have passed a resolution declining to recommend ‘ any person for the Cabinet tom Pennsylvania, and this forbearance has been greatly extolled by the Democratic press.' ■' 1 Now, we beg leave to ask, what these Electors have to do exfcept to deposit their totes for Mr.Plerce and go about - their business? If the democracy do not think Gen. Pierce capable of appointing his own Cabinet ministers, they ought hot to have elected him. Thu action of the Ohio Electors Is sublime Impudence, which regards as llttlb the dignity of the Presldont elect, as It does the pos sible claims of other States in this large family. The magnanimous forbearance of tho Peunsylvanlu electors, shows almost as much decadence In national pride, and absence of genuine patriotic impulses, as the Ohio recom mendation. - ■ - New Boon.—We nrj indebted to the publisher for the following work which may be found at the Bookstore of Col. W. T. Williams:— Tub PatVATa Lira or Danikl W*»stkr. By Charles • Laninen: New York, Harper Sc Brothers. This small volume Is written by tho Private Secretary 61 the great American Statesman.

It was extinguished iqa few minutes before any damage was done to the building, but not until the several Churches in the dty were nearly emptied of their congregations. Various suggestions are offered aa to the origin of Ihe fire.

It la auggested that they got up too great ahead of steam during the late canvass, and that they do not let it off fast enough—In consequence of which some malicious Individuals have beeu expecting an explosion for several day*. We trust our contemporaries will keep a “bright look out.*’ They havo elected their President and their Mayor and Aldermen, and wo see no uae In their keeping up steam any longer. Commodore Conner and family were among Iho pas sengers who arrived here Saturday by the steamship State of Georgia tom Philadelphia. Macaluster was greeted by another full bouse Sat urday bight.

Lawrenco bears dato London, May 7, 1853, and be gins with presenting reasons for a chango In the present rales for letters and papers, which havo already become amlllar to our readers. Tho more Important portion of tho letter la as follows: “After our experience In Iho great Increase of corrcs- jndence consequent upon the reduction of the Inland rate of postage, there cannot, 1 think, bo much doubt foat a corresponding Increase would take place, were a re duction made In tho sea-rates between this country and the United States. It would seem foal tho treasury of the Uulted State* Is In a condition to try this experiment —If It bo an experiment. During the first two or threo years, perhaps some aid tom tho treasury will bo requi red. But it seemsto mo that foe amount which may be temporarily necessary, will be of small Importance cora- pared with tho Immensobcnefllsto result tom IU If any thing is to be done immediately In this matter, ie example must be set In foe Uulted States. 1 think that the great body of the people of this coun- are in favor of the system; but 1 havo somo doubt jether the Government will not view the question en tirely in a financial light, and be unwilling lo make any sacrifice; They maintain a steam navy, lu part by their high ocean postal rater*, to almost overy part of the “lobe. During the great exhibition of 1851. au associa tion was formed for the purpose of promoting a cheap and uniform system or International postage for letters and printed papers, and a largo Committee was appoint ed, which has had the aubject under consideration. A taw days since, several of those gentlemen called upon mo. as a deputation tom the General Committee, for the lurnose.of discussing the question. Lord Ashburton U ho Chairman of tbe General Committee, and was to havo been the Chairman or the deputation, but was prerepled rom attending by Illness. Tbe deputation consisted or Sir John Bollenu, Bart.; Sir John Bbrgoyne, K. C. B.: T. Wriout. or Ui.

They stated that tho system of cheap «>ceanto postage must begin in the United Suites; that when commenced It would, in their Judgment, be adopted here tom necen • ty, as In tbo ease of refusal on the part of this Govern ment, all the correspondence betweeu the two countries would be transmitted by American vessels—since no Government, in the present state of oplnior, would probably wish to renew the severe measures pursued to ward the Waahlngtolt—and that their efforts would now be given to effecting u cheap international postage be tween the United Kingdom and tho United States.” It appears tom this that the matter now rests In the hands of our Congress. Lot our merchants, and all Interested In a reduction or ocean postage, then pour their petitions In upon Congress at an early period of the session. Let them come from every part of tbo Union,—there la no President now lo be made, and the good of the, people may possibly havo bo mo influence over the deliberations at foe capital. Anecdotb or Poor Hoorn.—Booth onco concluded an engagement with n Manchester manager. Manches ter, then, as now, a manutacturing town, waa devoted largely to the production of buttons. Booth appeared before bis new nudienee, determined to make a hit. We have forgotten foe name of the play In which he appear ed—enough that he threw himself Into It with his whole soul. But, alas, foe house would not “coma down.” Hla choicest efibrta were thrown away, and his heart be gan to sink within htm, and aelf-dlstrnst to steal over him. At last, there came In the play a personal set-to, Into which Booth went with such a hearty zest, that the cheers and shouts thus Tar repressed, broke out in a per fect storm. Booth caught tho secret, and, forthwith, eo belabored hla fellow actor that he fairly yelled with pain. The applause was unbounded. Then Booth sat dowu in bis chair, and, stretching his neck toward hts audience, with a face ou which was depicted the most bitter con tempt and disgust, exclaimed In a way all his own— What do you think ol that, you d—n button-makers J" He was obliged to leave foe stage as well as foe dty with a mob or Ihe button maker* on hla track. In New York Booth was arrested one evening (some S3 years since) in a state of aicohollc oblivion, and aa he refused to glvo any other name than that of Lucius Ju nius Brutus, ho was sent by Justice Wynansto the old Bridewell, lu the course of tbe day, Simpson aud Price, the managers, came in search, slating that he hod sud denly left Ibe theatre Iho night before. The Justice, on discovering who be was,'sent an ordor for his release from durance vile, aud in Ihe afternoon a cart load of provisions of various sorts, with frail, wine, Acc^ were delivered, together with a letter from Junius, to “the gentlemen inmates, with whom he had had the honor of spending a few hours In the morning.” NanrauavroaTCoTTON AIills.—At a recent meeting of foe stockholder* orthe manufactories at Newburyport, It was found that Ihe profits for tho lost six months had compensated for Ibe depression and loss of the laat year, follows; The Bartlett MUli have made a profit of near ly f 15,000 in the last six months, and have declared a 3 per cent dividend; foe Globe AIM haa mode a profit of 912,000; and the Ocean Mill 915,000.

But the lime drew near when old Jacque must die. It was In vain that mamma gave him l»er per sonal attendance, sent hlmdal'y luxuries, and anticipated his want* with almost filial tenderness; the golden cord ol his lifo was loosened, and wo were told one morning he had died, breathing a prayer ter hla ninster’a family. Mamma had asked him, many yearn before, If there was any thing sbo contd do ter hi* comtort. “Tank you much, my missis,” ho answered: “Jacque hab overyting him want In dla world, ’ccpl do praise God.” Mamma gave him money, nnd he expended It on grave- dothce. He had taken them out and aired them tom year to year; now they were, tndoed,to enfold hla ven erable remains t and we were a mourning family; true, we were not clad In weeds, but a tender lie had beeu riven, and It was riven with tears. Nona but those who live uuder, our peculiar Institutions can Imagine the strong bond existing between faithful servants aud the families with whom they are connected. t was informed by Mauin Nanny, Jacque’a sister, that he had left something ter me in tho eitt of his chest, aa his dying bequest. An- old pocket book was fount! there, which 1 opened, and discovered several bills of continental money, carefully wrapped In paper. Plantation negroes preter to bury their dead atnl„ before sunrise. Neighboring plantations are notll , aud all who can obtain tickets from overseers attend. A spot or ground Is allotted for their burial place, and slm- K o monuments or affoctlou may usually bo found In ein. The ceremony at interment Is commonly per formed by a claasdeader, a pious colored man, who Is lie spiritual teacher of the neighborhood, and prepares hla brethren, by an examination Into their belief, aud a watch over their conduct and fbellnga,for communion. The “pomp and circumstance” or the burial, for It is nut less among slaves, In proportion, than In palaces, de layed Ihe funeral until midnight. Aa the visitors assem bled, they crowded tho but or thedeosased, and when tho hut was frill, stood around tho entrance near the coffin. At abort Intervals, some among the group com menced a hymn, In which all Joined; refreshment* were then decorously distributed. The death nr Jacque had been particularly affecting to me, for 1 had been fils especial favorite. 1 went with the boys to see him after hla decease; aud though 1 did uot feel the frdntnesa that canto over me at witnessing the remains of grandmamma, yet I had that dluy sensation which youth often experiences nl tho Immense difference between a bright Intellectual glanco and the glazed eye or moveless ltd—between tho warm touch of atfocUcn, and tbe Min; cold hood that returns no pressure. Tito night of hla Interment waa mild, aud 1 aat at my window by tho starlight, watching the approach or the negroes as they crossed foe fields, or came through the aveuue.

Fillmorr.—Thq Washington correspondent of foe Charleston Coan'er says: “Mr. Fillmore will leave office, with the reputation of haring done no foolish and no mischievous aet. He will, J learn, return to Buffiilo, aud to hla law office, where he will receive clients and give counsel, but will not again appear in the courts. His friends anticipate for him a political ftilure, but the-future is not qaslty to bo read.” ChtEEsa Juuolers.—Tho steamship Falcon lately brought to New-Orleans a troupe of Chinese Juggler*. The company consists of twenty persons, male and fe male, and Ihelr performance* arc said to bo the most as tonishing that haveever been witnessed on tbe American continent. They exhibited a few nights in San Francisco and Sacramento cities to foe largest audiences that ever assembled together in California. Accompanying tbe Musicians Is a Chinese dwarf, twenty years of age, and less than three reello height.

England.—Tho volunteering for foe militia has so far been successful that no less than 30,000 out of the 50,000 wanted have been enrolled. But only thirteen of the fifty-two countie* of England aud Wales have furnished their frill quota.

Webster’s He ad.—He was a great man, a man of the largest mould, a great body and a great brain: he seemed innde to last n hundred years. Sinco Socrates, there has seldom been* besd so mosslve,Bohuge. Since the stormy features or Michael Angelo, “Tho hand that rounded Peter’s dome, And groined thenlslo* of Christian Home.” Ho who aculpturcd Day and Night Into such beautiful forms—ho looked them In hta face before he chiselled them In stone. Dupuytren nnd Cuvier are said to be the only men in our day that have bad a brain so vast. Since Charlemagne, I think there haa not beeu such a grand figure In all Christendom. A large man, docoroua In dress, dignified In deportment, he walked as If be felt himself a King. Aicu tom the country, who knew him not. stared at him as he pawed through ourstreeta. The coal-heavers and porters of London looked on him as one of tho great forces of Ihe globe; they recognized'* native king, in the Senate or the United States, lie look ed an Emperor In that council. Even the majestic Cal houn seemed common compared wlfo lilia- day looked the some, and Van Suren but a fox. Whuta mouth in hod. It waa a lion’s mouth. Yet there was a sweet grandeur In hta smile, and a woman’s sweetness when ho would. What a brow It was! what eyest like char coal fire in foe bottom of a deep, deep, dark well.

Alany a death occurs from A Free Soil Institution.—The CloroJand Herald, speaking Qf spiritual rappingism, says” In many minds It seems to finish the work commenced by Second Ad ventism—the fruits being neglect of business, neglect of families, running after visionaries and pretending Boors, acouUng of Christianity and Ita Institutions, spiritual wlfclsm, Insanity, and lu some cases suicide.” Vtaatnu Legislature.-—The Virginia House of Del egates, on Monday, passed a bill Increasing foe capital ■lock of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Company 91,500,000—also a bill increasing the stock or foe Manas sas Gap Road 9160,000.

No other American book, probably no modern volume In the English tongue haa nltracted so much attention on the Continent.

Gioantio ILllroad Project*.—A now nnd gigantic railroad eulerpr so Is In contemplation, looking to the es tablishment of a direct six feet gaugo railroad between Cincinnati and hew York. The CiRcraatti Gazette says, that the project is pressed with great earnestness by eas tern capitalists, is well os by many enterprisiug citizens of Ohio. Tho Gazette says: “It Is In contemplation to construct aline of railway from Clean, Now York, through Pennaylvanla and Ohio, to connect with lines leading to Indiana and to Olncln* nail, at some suitable point In Ohio. This track to con nect with Ihe Nov York and Erie Road at Olean, and to be a six Toot trade, so as to open nn unbroken wldeguage tom New YorKto this city.
