Any man who upend* hi* tin e in reading tho ephemeral literature of the prcient day, niu»t ho struck hy the frpquar.t occurrence of cant phrases- dr. tngiva the tin* and plain nume *»T the thing, hy . tho volt quantities vif .lung, in the work* of men, who certoinlyknnw better. In vain do wo look for the homely sweetnes' of tho Eli**l»ethnn literature, or the policed *ty!c of the *uhjeela of Queen Anne. Even tho burly vigor,and awkward magnificence of Johnion, lin* at la*t ren*ed to be Imiinted, und our whole language seem* about to bo rccu»t ill the mould of tlnng. Now wo are nwatn that thi* manner of writing oripeoking, hn» it* ndvnntngos, nnd, so far, *ome excuse. It save* time; it save* trouble; and, more than nil, it *aves brain*. It i« murh easier to *ay, ‘“proceed the entire twine,” or“OK," than to «• pt«f* iho vhW.*i idea in plnin, *impj.q KngTTeli. Tim ••'ndviintagc* of this mcrtiodlire ao ohviou*, that a writer In tiro Knickerbocker, aoma year* ago, a« several of our readera may remember, proposed to sterentypo sucji phrase* in a oonci«o and di*gui«cd fom s cajling tho fir»t of the.o expressions, for In- stance, by a more leomed nume, “To Pancboiire, thenco “Panchorism," Pancliorlst,'* and so forth.

But where it all this to rndt In England.Coleiidgo with hit metnphy»ico*ihoologico-nnn*en*ico-pro* fundity, k-tl the way, introducing mathematical for mula*. and Greek philosophy and Gormnn clmidi- ties*, into out good Eugluh tongue. Then Tlioma* Carlyle, with his “English in German worde,” camu forward; and ho unhappily hat his imitator* in ihi* country. After him, though at an iminun* surable distance, come, smirking nnd curveting, tho motley group of mngnxinc writers. Wo mean thtwa who write what is facetiously termed tin* light rending, in the English Monthlies. It should be called, light writing. Every one must have •observed bow ambitioudy they imitate the sbubby- gci-teel langaage of llio London Cockneys Kvon Blackwood, that Prince of Magazines, is sorely dt Ajed with this thing. With utl, tho wit, solid sense, cod genuine force of that periodical, it has, nobody ct n deny, toumuch tinsel and gewgaw. If wo turn our v.-e* to this country, whaT do we sect Our Mugazlne.. indeed, arc fieo from this fault. The 'flush writing Is left to the newspapers. And free v barn some of u... both in the political paper* and the penny pre*s, averted ourselves of our monopoly. Wo nuver hear r^w of a man's air sconding from hi* cieditor*; heisbnly “G. T. T.

But wo must expect to see this corruption cftrii. ed still further. The people rule in politic* in thi* country, nnd they are about to do so in England. We doubt not their capacity in so doing, for they ore awoke to their own Interests. Bui tho people are likewise beginning to make laws for language*; and tho best writer* mu.t now be content, not to lead, but to follow. Now tho mass ofrendorr, and wrltors, have neither sufficient taste to guide thoir rending, nor sufficient reading to create a taste. So they giope on in darkness, doing what they can to deface the noble structure of our language. One feel* inclin. od to exclaim ••The name of English tongue is past and gone! But a reaction i* also coming. By theso very moans, the people will be forming themselves to something better. Without subjecting ourselves to the charge of enthusiasm, we may *ay tbit tl.e time is approaching, when tlm wlio'e people will bo pre- pared to npprecine not merely Penny Magazines and the works of Box. odmirnblo aa both of'these are. nor be contented with Crocket Almanac*,Jnck Downing, and Harrison songs, but will demand and receive such bunks ns men of genius can w rite, and o nation of cultivated and refitted tastu delight to read. * (Correspondence of the Savannah Georgian.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. If there is any truth in what we hear, the FJori da war is at last approaching an end. A letter from Gen.

The bill making oppro priations fur Revolutionary Pensioners was then taken up,ami Mr. Thompson moved tbe a mend me a 1 alluded to above. It was supported by Mr. Preffit* of Indiana, in a short speech. After Mr. P. concluded, Mr. Guiding*, nfOhio, a rank Abolitionist, (and of course a “Whig,") rose and addressed the Committee in opposition to the amendment; und went et length into an examina tion of the slave question. As soon as lie touched upon this, Mr. Black, of Georgia, called him to order, and Mr. Habersham supported the question raised by his colleague, ^But a* the subject of In< dians bolding slave* was derided to be relevant in a discussion on the Florida war by a vote of the House, Guiding* proceeded in one of his usual in* rendiary speeches, which lasted about two hou.s.

But suppose the dec! sion correct, what did It amount to. Only that a law ol Cmigres*. constitutionally pnssed, is superior to the Inw ol a Stnti; und the Senator says ergo, this Government cannot tnx corporate property created hy tire Stnte. Is tho Senator willing tossy tit it nil property which might be covered by aotaflf. incmporatton shall he exempt from taxation? flew York has passed a Inw by which all religious>ocl« tics may incm potato thoinralves, with .ut furthsr nnprul to Stole It gislntion.
