A day or two ago, while seated in the editorial department of our establish ment, posting books, pondering over debts due us by delinquents, and show ering left-handed blessings on tbe credit system, our reveries were suddenly bro ken in upon by the entrance of a sub scriber who has taken the Standard for seven years, during which time he paid on account 0 dollars, ditto cents ! ‘Hol loa !’ thought we, 4 here’s a promise to pay one of these days ’ A mistake, as the following conversation proves : Subscriber—Mr. Printer, I believe I have taken your paper about—let me see—ah, yes, about seven years ; and all that time, too, I have lived off the Postage Road, how you have lived, I do _notJtw6lU but p rectus little of my mon ey have you fingered.

For this and other reasons he was a benefactor of his race and na tion, and they will remember him. witli a personal and cordial affection indepen dent of the admiration to which bis ge nius entitles him. That he inspired ma ny of the nobility of England with a love for Ireland as well as his bosom friend Lord Byron, is well known ; but tbe latter has recorded bis feelings in imper ishable verse which it is not wholly in appropriate to quote in this connexion : My voice though, but humble, was raised for thy right: My vote as a freeman’s, still voted thee free; This hand tho’ but feeble, would arm in, thy fight, And this "heart, tho- outworn had a throb still for thee; For I loved thee and thine though thou art not of my land; I have known gallant hearts and great souls in thy sons ; And I wept, with the world, o’er the patriot band. Who are gone; but I wept them no long er as once. • * * * * • Eut if aught in this bosom can quench for an hour. My contempt for a nation too servile though sore; Which though trod like the worm will not turn upon power, ‘Tis the glory of Grattan and genius of Moore.” Moore was born in Dublin, on the j 28th of May, 1780, and was educated i at Trinity Cortege where he was a class mate of Robert Emmett. He was in tended for the bar and kept his terms for a while in one of the Inns of Court of London. But he was fonder of Greek than of Norman French or Law Lattin ; and he made a poetical translation of Anacreon instead of studying Ft-arne on Remainders. His name therefore is not to be found in the 44 Reports ;” but it is written in other volumes some of which at least will have a perpetuity as endu ring as our language. The stars of literature have always ap peared in clusters. In England we have had great constellations of poets id tbe reign of Elizabeth and of Ar.ne, and j of George the 3d and 4th. The last star has°now faded from ibe sky. AH the great cotemporaries of Moore had gone before him—Byron, Scott, Cole ridge. Wordsworth, Southey, Shelley. Moore, all are now gone; and it is not unkind to many excellent living poets both in our own country and England to say that the thrones are vacant and that there is every prospect of a long in terregnum. We shall take occasion in an other no tice to speak to the characteristics of the genius of Moore ; we have now barely time to record the intelligence of his death; but we could not let the occa sion pass without expressing our affec tionate admiration of jhe man and bis by a horse mail twice a week from Co lumbus.

Then we always swore 44 like old Tom Woodward, of Arkan sas ” On one occasion, however, the mail-rider made his appearance, about seven hours in advance of his time—a negro teas to have been hung that day, and the rascal knew it J As it turned out though, a pardon came from the Governor, and tbe negro was not hang ed. Perhaps we didn’t let out the next week on the mail-boy ! Ob, but we raked him; and we suggested that tbe Federal Government should have a ne gro executed every Friday, in order to ensure a regular and speedy deliverance of the mail. The next mail brought us what was in those days called a 44 buck- ett”—it was from the mail-rider and ran thus: 44 Mr. Hupper sit yew thing yew plaid b—1 publishin the mail rider now i want yew to no that ile see as many niggers bungd as i chuse an i hop you ma cacht the saim yew thing yew are mity grate with yer cstern allybamien but i like to no boo the b—1 keers for yer dernd estera allybamien an ef it did nott cum out etall the peeple wud stil traid in Columbus an bull yerrlins horns wud gro out as yewsul an water run like it did its maid a dernd fule ov yew an yew hadent but mity little sense befor.” That brief, candid, straight-beaded document, was tbe very first expussion of a harsh opinion that we had encoun tered ; and not one of the many hard cuffs that we have had sinee, ever hurt us half as much. We nevar troubled that boy again. porated every principle of doctrine and duty necessary for the salvation of man at that day. To enter the ark was to be confirmed in tbe life of religion which it represented. The flood of waters he considers the emblem of an inundation of evil and impiety, and refers to vari ous passages in Daniel, Isaiab, Jeremi ah, and the New Testament, for the pur pose of showing that tbe encroachment of fallacious reasoning and false princi ple are not only compared in tbe Scrip tures to floods of water, but are actually called floods and the ovetflowing of riv ers. This, he argues, is the real import of the flood in the time of Noah. The perishing of the millions by the deluge is to be understood, he says, in a spirit ual sense, as the perishing of souls bv the overwhelming influence of sin. In a lecture upon the subject, deliv ered by Mr. Stuart, he advances many plausible arguments in support of bis theory. A literal flood, like that des cribed by Moses, the reverend gentle man says, could not have taken place.— Men of science reject as an absurdity tbe idea of a universal deluge having occurr ed since the creation of man. Geology utterly confutes this supposition. The learned Dr. Buckland, tho orthodox Dr. Hitchcock, and many others equal ly worthy, have abandoned it, and none stand out for a literal flood except a stub born few who make the omnipotence of God the scape goat of physical impossi bilities. These arc Mr. Stuart’s views, as we find them reported in the Cincinnati pa per, and we give them as somewhat start ling innovations upon the general belief, without expressing any opinion as to their soundness. Hit iiim again.—Tbe following item from a New Orleans paper, we publish for the benefit of those who ought to ad vertise but don’t: 44 At New Orleans, a man who bad but recently commenced business, found bis creditors rather too prompt in urging the payment of their little bills. ‘What is the matter ?’ he at length asked. ‘Do you fear me?’ 4 Yes,’ was tbe hesitat ing reply of a modest dun. ‘Fear me!’ he exclaimed, ‘on what grounds? Has any one said I am not honest ?’ 4 No ; Credit. Strange, indeed, the delusion of the whole credit system, which, in all its branches, b a system of usury— in ef fect, if not design ! It sheds its intoxi cating influence over all wbo come be neath it, and bewilders, for a time, the most intelligent and best constituted men. The impression of a credit—postpon ing tbe day of payment—is like tbe im pression of a far off period of death, an accountability on the mind of the way ward, vigorous, and healthful sinner;— who, though in bis moments of calm re flection realizes the certainty of the com ing event, and may believe in the full retribution of stern and irrevocable jus tice, yet banishes tbe thought in ment with but a slight twinge of con science, and goes on, still keeping the day of penitence and change in the illu sory distance. The man who receives credit, receives goods of certain value, without the impression of returning val ue in exchange, as he would if paying at the time of reception. lie deals, tbere- Speech of Hon. Junius Hillyef of Georgia, On the Union and State-Rights Parties cf Georgia, in the House of Repre sentatives, March 16, 1852. On motion by Mr. Houston, tbe Committee of the Whole on tbe state of tbe Union proceeded to consider House bill No. 207 , 44 To supply deficiencies in the Appropriations for the service of the fiscal year ending 30th of June, 1852. Mr. HILLYER obtained tbe floor, and said: Mr. Chairman : I desire to call tbe attention of the committee to a remark made by the gentleman from Virginia, [Mr. McMullin,] some weeks ago, hi reply to tbe gentleman from Florida, [Mr. Cabell,] in which tbe honorable gentleman from Virginia took occasion to say of the Union party of Georgia, that it was composed of factions of all parties ; and he saw proper to apply to that honorable and patriotic association, the term 44 piebald.” Mr. McMULLIN, (interrupting) I did use the word attributed to me by the honorable gentleman, but I used it under the excitement cf the$nom#nt. I intended nothing disrespectful te that party ; for the gentleman is, perhaps, not awaro that I acted and co-operated with it during the last Congress. But, sir, with the permission of tbe gentleman from Georgia, I will mako one further remark, for I do sot expect to trespass upon tbe House again. I did feel somewhat sensitive upon the subject of tbe Union party— [Mr, Brooks here rose and made s point of order, that the debate was ont uf order, according to the 31st rule of the House. Tbe chairman decided, that by the usage of the House tbe debate was in order, from whieh an appeal was taken, and the committee sustained tbe decision] Mr. HILLYER, (resuming ) Mr. Chairman, I have no objection to reliev- ing tbe gentleman from Virginia, but the same position and the same senti ments have been often avowed by oth ers—by those wbo grossly misapprehend ,n0 * j however, the history of the Union party in Georgia ; for I am proud to say to day, and on this floor, that so far from the Constitutional Union party of Geor gia being composed of factions of all parties, that from the mountains to the sea b>ard, down all our line, there is not one Disunionist—there is not fonnd one Abolitionist—there is not found one Free Soiler—there is not found one tar- fore, more liberally—holds less question _ of the price takes more, as if a gift, iff man for protection—there is not found and feels grateful to- the creditor, as to ward a beuefactor, and goes on undream- jng of the usury that is heaped upon him, and tbe fact that ho’must pay dear ly in the end for the bland manner and apparent generosity of the machine which extends to him the hand of coidiality his own wi h condescending no,' replied the other, 4 but—* 4 But i f!: a ^ ID ° , . .. . . what,sir?’ ‘Why to be candid with ! t:ndne ^» but to-piace it at last in the ’ .
