THE SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
January, 1841.
In the rxcitemqnt of daily business it would he
unwise to throw n»ido tlm literary Periodicals,
which advance the literary Insist of our country men,
nnd cling to that chain, which, if nut dropped from
our grasp, will drag us prematurely to our miutal
homes.
It is right, it is praiseworthy, nay, it is the duty
of man to apply n portion of his exisinnco to those
labors necessary to fulfil tho Inw of Divinity, hut
when they nro pursued, without reference to tlrse
high enjoyments, which consist in mental recrou
linn, they prove irksome, whilo they piostrato mind
before matter.
It is n source of pride to tho American bosom,
that where commerce policlinics, schools uml col
leges ore tube soeo'disperising tlio light* of science
und tiro fruits of literature.
If wo wish to look upon ignoinneo nnd mental
sloth, wo must seek thoso sections of our country
where the population is so dispersed that tho rising
goner*tion, unless blessed with honeficent legislation
and funds to curry it out, arc cot oil' from tlio founts
of knowledge,nnd grow up to Int uuahle to sign their
own names, or to read even the truths of Revolt
lion.
But Tvc believe this reproach will, ere long, bo r«-
moved, and nil will be seen emulous of those privi-
legos which olevnto man to his priqwr upbore, nnd
enable bint to nssurno n position among hi* content
poruries.
Tlmro is no man so wise but that lie may leant
instruction fratn a child.
Wat riant nod Stnloimcn have, in their hours of
recreation, joined In their sports, nnd gambolled by
their side, when nt another hour sums little playfel
low might lie seen on the knee of Ids Senior und by
his interrogations almost puzzling the mind ond the
memory.
Sutno think however, that there are tin children
in this generation. Wo ask lenve, however, to dif
fer, for ulthuugli sotnn may nuticipnte in fusliion the
manners oftlie ndult,sonic by,tlieir precocity of mind
exetio tho admiration of their seniors in age, there
nro still others, who frolic in the sports of child
hood, uncurbed by the restraints of weakness in pa
rents, nnd ill whoso actions wo may recur to the
games in which it wn* our ambition to excel. Such
are enjoying the gradations of human life.
Tho world is hot only a singe, where each man
has his part to perform, his exits ond Ids outrun-
ces, hut it i* n great school, wheiico man can derive
instruction, never failing ond never ending-
Who so vain ax t« belie.vo that ho bus acquired
ult tho learning—all the knowledge requisite for
tins contests of this life I
If thero is such u one, Id him mnrk the nnalmny
of tho human frame, nnd when puzzled hy its inlii
cocv, acknowledge tlm finite powers of tttun.
Wo have Wen led tu these de-idtory reflections
hy turning over the page* of the Messenger, which
treat uf tho reorganization of i!:u Nuvy.
Thu Navy, thu right arm of our Nut ion requires,
it is said, a material rourgmdzutwm. Shall it Ini al
lowed to fall from its pride of place hy tho neglect
of Congress. Wo trust not.
Tho nblo writer uf Scraps from the I.ueky Pag,
himself mi officer of our gallant Naval Marine, has
strongly depicted tho abuses of the present system-
I iu bus intimated that tlio models of the Nnvnl
Architects have boon supervised so ns to destroy
their soiling, nnd this loo nt tint Navy Board where
tho Commissioner tuny or may not he a connoisseur.
Thus those vessel* which should eclipse others in
sailing, to ho efficient, nro rendered comparatively
useless, and thu commercial nr packet ship outstrip)
in sailing the inun of war, fmlghtod though the Int*
iui is wiiii ihi.-ii mrii uMiicir piuics.iiiii, uou uuining
fur distinction.
Tho writer to whom we nlludn, nsks—“Every
body know* who built the Ohio; hut who c»n lel|
the fntlmr of tho Fulton or of any of our new nnd dull
ships? Kckford nnd tho elder Humphreys were
each wholly und entirely responsible fur tlio success
or failure of hit own tnodul.”
We can well imagine that n beautiful nnd quick
vessel lit her movements it tlm pihlu of a sailor’s
licmt. Who would wish tu ho placed in a dull ship
to fight the bullies of hi* country ? To ho out-ma-
nmuvred in tho tliicke»t of tho fight—to sec his men
mowed down by hostile shot, because the vessel will
not fly to obey his wishes. Tho consciousness that
such a ship i* their* must, in the, hour of danger, re
press the spirit of her officers und make them feel that
they are contending against foorfol odd* Our
readers well remember with wlint grace tho Cow
stitiilion rodo into action. Bonding gracefully to
the breeze, arid bounding gallantly over the deep to
measure weapons with tlio then mistress of thu svut,
the leapt to ohuy tho wishes of the gallant Hull.
Her battery was nt first silent, but when it was
unmasked she appeared liken bluzoofflro, so rapid
were tho flashes of her artillery. Thu roomy w u*
dismantled, whilo hardly a ropa-yurn of thn Yankee
was injured, and very fuw of her bravo crew sulfur-
art.
Tlm fact was that her Captain not only confided
in thu cuurngnof his officers and cruw, hut their
“ocean.favorite" was known to bo a madid on which
they could, not only in tlm mint end silent hour,
look upon with delight, hut In tlm hour of danger
depend for activity, as the horseman, in tho inutneii*
of the charge, confides in hit gulhat stood. Wo
will conihitio lids subject.

when such a line of policy Ims been struck out nt to

ly iih n bull of yarn. A greater secret limn tlmt
sought for by tlio alchyhmt*of old will hnvo been
discovered, while the political lions und the poliii-
e.nllnmhs will iio down together.
Not being itt possession of the details ofthi* grand
discovery, we nwnit It# development with hnpa
lienee. In all former times, the trouble has been,
owing todiffurences of interests to tho effects of educa
lion rind "to various nccidontnflcniiso-yhnt there were
nt ionsttwo sides to every question. Sometimes
there wore ns many sides ns Rufiiiunto lmd points,
and tho consequence was thut, ns statesmen do not
usually pn*scss the ability to rids upon a whole drove
of liaises at onoe, they buc.-mc identified more or
loss with one side or the other. From this, of
course, parlies arose;—new parties, where old party
lines were effaced, and such, to our view of the mat
t*-r, must cimtinua to ho the rase until human nature
is revolutionised, nr until the Ilarrismiinn panacea
for diversion of sentiment ir generally administered-
Tlio common cunt about, parties, upon which the
promise of a President of tlio nation is founded, is
exceedingly ridiculous. The excesses of putty spir
it, its prejudices and its bitter liostiiiticii nro ropre
liensihlcnnd deplorable enough. But still, parties
there must be. We might as well iiudortnko per
mnneutly to equalize the condition of men hy n di*
trihuiion of propel ly, ns to endeavor to prevent tho
firmntinn of parties. Neither elf-irt cottl.l ha sue
cessful for more than a day- Ifu President oxpressu*
sn opinion, avows n principle, or sanctions n metis
tie, ami somonf these things he must necessarily
do, or else assume the position of n monarch nnd
place the responsibility of every*king upon his cnbi
net, tlint instnnt will parties arise, nod upon one or
ho other of them must ho depend for support.—
Thoso who think w ith him. will rally m ound him—
those who entertain different views, will bo found
in opposition, and he is then what is meant by the
President of a party, lie becomes identified with
opinions and principles.
Hu is prai-ed and defended on tlio nnu hand, and
decried and assailed on ill* other. lie may, iis wo
have seen, he a no.pnrty candidate.in tho canvass.
It is often policy, under such circumstances, to
hnvo "no principles for the public eye,’! but will:
success collies the period for action, nnd even the
most careful medium course 1 —tho most cautions
trimming nod balancing between conflicting ideas—
cannot, where such antagonizing impressions nro
entertained upon points of nntionul policy, prevent
the r.iimatioii of parties. Not oven tl.o cunningde.
vice of one term enn make it otherwise—for it is
tij.nn principles that tho people will divide, not
upon men, except so far as men are identified with

It is clear, therefore, that in a freo government,
llurc must he parties, und that the head of the nu
tint) must in effect ho the representative of the doc
trines uf one or tho other of them.—"tho Piesideoi

An ancient prejudice prevailed ngainvt the Jews.
Tlio ignorant believed that the Jews were nccustont
ed to sacrifice a human being, to mnko use of his
blnoil ut their fen-t of the I’nssovei.
In cmiM-qucnccnf this opinion, the Jewsnf Damns

piie) have (icon persecuted hy other int ion*. Tin:
calumnies which have been nticred against the Ji
and the vexations to which they have been subject
ed, have at last reached our Imperial Throne.
But a short time has cliqued since some Jaw
dwelling in the Isle of Rh'.xles, have been brought
fiotu thence tu Constantinople, where they have
been tried and judged according to the new regula
tions, nod tboir innocence of the accusation* made
against tlii'in fully proved, That, therefore, which
■juNlico am) equity required, has been done iu their

uniination i«, tlmt it is (build that i hv Jews aro strong
ly prohihiled not only Itom using human blood, hut
even tlmt of niiinuris. It therefore follows, thut tho
charges made against them and their religion, are
nothing hut ptito calumnies.
For this reason, nnd tho love we hear to our suh-

In ancient times the Lord God brought our people

who live therein may enjoy the shadow of your sub

ship tlio God of iheir Fathets, Their prayers us
rend to him, whoso wisdom is nb*olut-*, whose de

“ The nominimicntion mndp, and tlio sentiment*

It wns the remark oi Leigh Hunt, that it sweetens
the nir, rejoices tho eye, links you with nnture snd
innocence, and is something in hive. And if it can
n.'t live you in return, it cannot hate you; it cannot
utter even n hateful thing, even for your neglecting
it; for though it i* till beauty it hni no vanity; and
such being the case, and living, does purely to do
you good, and afford you pleasure, how will youbt
able to neglect it? We receive, in imagination, the
scent of there good nntnred leaves, which allow

—For tho ponm itself Milton received ten pounds,
five being paid in advance nnd five ni the end of
two years, when 1300copies had been sold. For
each edition, not exceeding 1500 copiat. fivcpoiiiiiii

Milton was more than fifty yenr# of age, blind, in

of hi# great epic. At a similar advanced period of
life, Sir,Walter Scott, struck with ntisfomme, enter
ed into an engagement to liquidate, hy his literary
exci-iious. a debt of £ 128,000. Milton rested his
long cherished hopes of lusting fame upon tlm work
thus liue begun; Scott staked his character nnd ropu
ration upon the fulfilment of his last engngment —
Both enieie I with characteristic ardor upon their
MNks, and, amid the pressure of increasing age nnd
infirmity,never lost sight ofiheiranricipiited reward.

To which n contemporary add*: “This is upon
tho principal tlmt a man, who is prompt and honest
in small matters, will ho in large ones. For he,who
would defraud an editor nf a year’s subscn'ptiun,
