Religion.—We pity the man who has no rc-
igioo in his heart—no high and irresistible
yearning after a better and holier c.\istence—
who is contented with the sensuality and gross
ness oi earth—whose spirit never revolts at
be darkness of its prison-house, nor exalted at
he thought of its trnal emancipation. We pi
ty him, for he affords no evidence of his high
origin—no manifestation of that intellectual
pr orogative, which renders him the delegated
;ofd of the visible creation. lie can rank no
S ghcr than animal nature; the spiritual could
never stoop so lowly. To seek for beastly ex
elements—to minister with a bountiful hand
to depraved and strange appetites—are the at
tributes oi the animal alone. To limit our
hepos :«nd aspirations to this life and this
world, is like remaining forever in the place
oi our birth, without ever lifting the veil oflhc
visible horizon which bent over our infancy.
1 here is religion in every thing around us;
a calm and holy religion in the unbreathing
things of nature, which man would do well to
imitate. It is a meek and blessed influence,
1 tealing in as it were, unawares upon the heart.
It comes quietly without excitement. It
lias tro terror; no gloom in its approaches It
docs not rouse up the passions; it is untram
melled by the creeds and unshadowed bv the
superstition^ cf man. It is fresh from the
hands of its Author; and glowing from the im
mediate presence of the Great Spirit, which
pervades and quickens it.
It is written on the arched sky. It looks
out from every star. It is on the sailing cloud,
and in the invisible wind. It is among the hills
ami valleys of earth—where the shrubles?
rnounfaro top pierces the thin atmosphere of
efi ma! win’rr—or where the mighty forest
lluctuates bef’ro the strong wind, with its dark
waves of green foliage It is spread out like
a legible language upon the broad face of the
unsleeping Ocean. It is the poetry of Nature.
It is this, which uplifts the spirit within us un
til it is tali enough to overlook the shadows of
our place of probation; which breaks, link af
ter link, the chains which bind us to materiali
ty; and which opens to our imagination a
world of sp ritual beauty and holiness.—Essex

FRENCH EXPEDITION.
Lokbov Morning Herald Office, )
Monday Morniee, June 21,4 o’clock. $
We have just received, by an extraordinary
express, the Paris papers of Saturday, accom
panied by a letter from our correspondent, con
taining the important intelligence ofthe French j
expedition having effected a landing on (he
coast, of Algiers. The following is the letter
of our correspondent:
Paris, Saturday Evening, June 19.
The most sinister reports respecting the
French expedition against Algiers were in cir
culation throughout the whole of yesterday;
hut tiiev were, 1 am happy to state, complete
ly negatived by the telegraphic despaclhes,
from the General and Admiral commanding the
expedition, received last night, and which you
will find in the journals of this day, which your
express will convey to you.
The effect of this news upon the public mind
you might infer from the descending prices of
ihc public funds on our Bourse this day (which
I subjoin;) but you must have been present at
the Opera, when it was announced last night,
jo order to credit the enthusiasm with which
it was bailed by, I may say, a fair representa
tion ofthe Parisian public.
At half past 3 o’clock yesterday, the funds
?tod mounted; but, from that time, till the close
of business, they continued to descend in con
sequence of the unfavoralc reports every
where circulated. The fall within the last half
hour amounted to nearly a franc.
As you may conceive, the Bourne wa9 crowd
ed this day long before the hour of business
/o o'clock ) A groat number of transactions
t ook place in what j s called the Coulissa. The
•.prices being almost incredible after such news
ns we have had—below the closing prices of
v enter day! On more than one occasion I have,
and truly, ascribed the maintenance of prices
to Ministerial influence. I nc^v assert, on
good authority, that the depression of the
funds this day is the work of the Liberaux,
who wish to defeat the hopes of Ministers
founded on the Telegraphic despatch.
At the commencement of public business
this afternoon the opening price of the Three
per cents was 77f 50c. ofthe Five per cents
fell to 104f 20c. Shortly alter the Three per
cents fell to 771 30c, at which price they re
main when 1 am obliged to close my letter.

display of enthusiasm. The debarkation com
menced at four in the morning of the 14th of

position, and a battery of nine guns and two
mortars had been taken possession of. Ttie
French army occupied the heights in front ot
the Peninsula. The Telegraphic despatch is
dated from the hay to Turetta Chica, June 14,
■and is as follows:
The fleet yesterday anchored io the bay ofj

been issued by the King, expressing the utmost

duty, regardless of the attempts "ofinaiduoos
men” to poison their mind«. j
The Norfolk Beacon contains extracts from I
letters, dated on hoard the United States’ ships
Java, and Warren, at Mahon, May 24th and
27th, from which we select the following:
"The squadron arc all here, with the excep
tion of the Lexington. The Constellation and
Out nrio arrived on Sunday last from Gibraltar, j
and vviii sail in about a wc» k for the coast of
Italy, where they will probably remain about
six weeks, and then return here; at which
time Corn. Biddle, it is expoct«d, will have ar
rived. The Fairfield will sail in about ten j
days for Malta, thence up the Archipelago or i
Smyrna. The Warren will remain here until;
the Commodore arrives, when she will take on j
hoard all those whose term of service has or
nearly has expired, and sail direct for the Unit
ed States. The squadron is healthy. \
"The Dev of Algiers told ao officer of rank
in the United States’ Navy, a few days since
after showing him his preparations for defence,
that he had 200 000 men to oppose the French,
that they had been talking of destroying Al
giers; that he was ready for them, nod wished
they would come.”
All foreign Consuls, saving ours, have left
Algiers, and his situation cannot but be regard
ed as a most critical one. He had an opportu
nity of leaving a few'days since in the Ontario,
but declined doing so—now the French Com
mander, cruizing before the city, has positive
orders to suffer no vessel, whether man of war
or not, to pass in, and what will be the situa
tion of Mr Lee, if the place should bo taken by
assault; he has his wife and children with him
The Dey offered his protection as far as it
would go, to all foreign Cqnsuls, but none of
them, saving Mr. Lee considered the offer
worth much. The general belief among the
officers is, that if the Commodore was now
here, that he w ould go-over to Algiers with all
(he squadron and contest the right of entering
the harbor with the French Commander.
The result of this business will, beyond
doubt, have a considerable effect upon our
Navy. Should the French succeed, tho neces
sity of a Naval force in this sea, will, in some
^measure be obviated. Should the Dey be suc
cessful, he will become ten times more hard
than ever upon the Christians, as he will, of
course, regard his city as impregnable.—New

THE PRESIDENT AT HOME
Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city,
dated
Nashville Julv 14.
You will have seen before this reaches you,
that the President refused Io accept a public
dinner, offered to him by the citizens of this
place. Yesterday at ten o’clock he attended
at the Nasltvillc Inn. where lie saw’ and shook
hands with hundreds of his fellow citizens,—
Our friend |I. H. had invited the President to
dine with him at his new and splendid house,
with a number of his old friends. He accep
ted Mr II’s invitation, and set down with 7-
bout one hundred greyheaded gentlemen, and
about sixty or seventy married ladies. It was
a company of his old tried friends from difier
ent counties, which Mr. II. had invited, and a
few strangers from other States It was one
one ofthe most pleasing parties aver conven
ed—we appeared like a number of brothers
who had been long absent, and had met at our
younger brother’s house. At half past two o’
clock we sat down to one of the most splendid
entertainments ever given here or else where.
Upwards of two hundred sat down at the table.
The General appeared to be in fine spirits, and
enjoyed his meeting with his old friends in the
happiest manner. Mr. II. had so fixed it,
that at seven o'clock ail the young ladies and
gentlemen were to take tea with him; and af
ter the old people had broken up, the Presi
dent was invited as a guest. This party was
given to Mrs, Donelsor» About one thousand
young ladies and geutlemen were present,
who must all have an introduction. The
house was crowded, the rooms being filled
and some hundred on the top of the house,
which was finely illuminated. I think this
houschds bcee built since you was here; it is
thought to be one ofthe most splendid build
ings in America Seldom has there been
more good feeling and cordial affection—The
President mingled with the crowd, embracing
iue tittle boys ana girts, mnl conversing with
the young ladies and gentlemen, as it they
were all his own children. He continued a-
mong them until ten o’clock, and then retired;
shortly after which the company broke up
Bisop McKenbree waited on the President at
his room this morning, and spent an hour with
him in private. He highly approves of hi-
course in refusing to accept of public dinners.
To-morrow the President is to meet a large
number of his frieds at the forks of the Road
two miles from this place, at a good spring —
They wil he principally Tenncsse farmers, who
will testify their gratitude to him tor his noble
acts in saving the country from direct taxation

South Carolina and "State Rights”—In our
last we gave our readers the speeches of
Messrs. Drayton and Hayne, at the public din
ner in Charleston, on the 1st of July, and an
extract from that of Mr. Langdon Clieves.-—
We now publish entire, the speech of Mr J.
Hamilton, Jr which will be found on the pro
ceeding page. The present aspect of politi
cal affairs in South Carolina can but be looked
upon with alarm and sorrow, by every candid
and liberal man, and every lover of the peace,
happiness and prosperity of his country. The
(ire of sectional and political jealousy, which
has been for several years smouldering, is now
bursting into a flame and spreading its terrors
through the land, under the favorite appel- j
lation of "Nullification” and "Secession.”—l
The unwelcome "calculation ofthe value of;
the Union,” is forced upon the public; and the j
advocates of this new revolution have gone so j
far as to “calculate” the physical ^sources of
South Carolina, and the aid and co operation
she could expect to receive from the other
Southern States, in the event of a civil war.
The speakers generally seem, in their re
marks, to deprecate the dissolution of the Un
ion; but what less can Mr. Cheves mean,
when he says:—“the present state of things
should not be borne, and ought to be resisted
in some way or manner, at any and every haz
ard'’—when he hints that the oilier Southern
States will co-operafo with South Carolina,
and deprecates a separate action on her part
as impohtic and premature—that the question
with all of them involves great pecuniary and
great public rights, “and that it is more impe
riously their duly if they rely upon their (:bc
Southern Slates) co-operation sti any difficul
ties which may involve national force ” to seek
such aid before they progress any father. For
our part, we would adopt the opinion of Mr.
Drayton, in regard to ‘nnllificaton,—“I cannot
perceive any substantial distinction between
the abrogation of a law of Congress, by a State
and tbe separation of that State from the U-
nion.” Mr Drayton has ever been a firm and
undeviating friend to the South and Southern
interest, and no man, perhaps, ever enjoyed a
greater share of the confidence of his fellow cit
izens than Col. Drayton, and his sentiment
thereof, is rather to he received than those of
other individuals, whose zeal has outstripped
their discretion, by grasping at ton much, rath
er than following (he maxim of TH. Jefferson
—“patience aud perseverance may achieve
much—despair will ruin every thing.”
W hatever may be tbc motives and intentions
of some of the leading- spirits in this new
and violent faction, wc cannot think that such
men as Gen. Hayne and J unes Hamilton, Jr
are actuated by other motives than tho«e of
an ardent, zealous devotion to the good of
their country and (heir fellow citizens —
From the best information we can glean on
the subject of the present excitement in South ■
Carolina, wc are disposed to believe that the!
fire-brands of ‘nullification’ and ‘disunion,'
which have been so industriously thrown a-
mong the people have .is yet tailed in their
intended effect. We hare conversed with in
telligent gentlemen fom South Carolina, who
frankly deprecate the course pursued by some
of the leading men in their Slate—and de
clare themselves safe in saying, that, tbe ad
vocates of the “nullifying” or "disunion” doc
trines arc few, very few, when compared with
those who sensibly feel the enormous burthen
of the Tariff and the limitation of commerce,
but who are unwilling to risk their ail upon the
“hazzard of a die”—those who have not for
gotten even decency, in their complaints, by
railing at the General Government in the most
opprobrious and aggravating terms, as if every
sentiment of allegiance had been eradicated
from their minds, and the only alternative was
to "stand by their arms” against what thdy
arc pleased t * term a Northern confederacy,
which stands in the same relation to them now
as England did to the colonies, before the Rev
olution. Can this be-the case? Is South
Carolina really in so deplorable a situation as
some of of her self-constituted organs repre
sent her? Has the Federal Government
"plundered her seas, ravaged her coast, burnt
her towns and destroyed the lives of her peo
ple?” No; she has been fairly and ably repre
sented in Congress, and her voice has been
patiently heard. Those laws which have
been passed whether of good or evil tendency,
have b en unfavorably felt, and in almost the
same degree, in all sections ofthe Union, ano
the same power which imposed them, we have
every reason to hope, will indue time so mod
ify as to render the weight equal upon every
section. 'The public sentiment which has cv
ery where been expressed of the Veto»jfthe
President against appropriations from the Na
tional treasury, for State or private benefits,
and the gradual repeal of the duties on Stilt.
Tea, Coffee, and Cocoa, arc favorable indica
tions of a change in public opinion, and should
go to inspirit them and us with respect for the
benign Government under which we live, and
form a part.
ThC|evils which would result from a divis
ion of the Republic nrp too numerous for reci
tal—ivc will not "calculate” them: but God
forefend their visitation on tbe people of the
Union! After a lapse of scarce fifty years,
shall the only living signer of our country’s
hopes,survive to witn ss the horrors of a civ
il war, and close his eves ••upon the fragments
of a once glotious Union?” God forbid.—AT.

JOSEPH BUONAPARTE.
Joseph, Count Survtliiers, Ex-King of Spain
lodged at our village Hotel last Monday night,
on the way to his lands at the North. i he fol
lowing anecdote concerning him is copied
from the Commercial Advertiser.
"Among the steerage passengers ofthe Fran
cois 1st, on her last passage, there was an
old weather-beaten grenadier of the Imperial
Guard, with the legion oi’*!onor in his button
hole, one of L1Q0, who, s.xteen years ago, had
followed Napoleon into the Island of E!<>a.—
The French police, however knew him—little
thanks for it: and the poor fellow was so vexed
and harrassed that in order to escape starving,
he resolved on leaving hi*> country, lit? did
so, and embarked his tnmily on the 2d June, in
the Francois 1st. The old (nan’s fate excited
a lively interest among the cabin passengers,
and they, among other means, advised him to
address himself to Joseph Buonaparte, for
which purpose they drew up for him a petition.
Provided with this, and his military testimo-
nails, the old man resolved to seek access to
Count Survilliers. Arrived at Ncw-York, he
hastens down to the wharf, to enquire into the
amount of the'fare to Bordentown, at the very
moment when the Philadelphia steamboat ar
rives. He boards the boat and looks around
for a French face, aud addressed himself to
the first gentleman in his way. IIis question
is politely answered—lie begins to talk about
his intentions—about going to Bordentown,
aud the gentleman becomes more attentive
and seemingly more interested. At last the
gentleman asked the old vrenadier about his
paper®, which he examines with the petition
Mv friend, said the gentleman, I assign you
fifteen dollars a month n= a pension for your hfe
time. I am Joseph Buonaparte—you may
proceed to Bordentown, where you shall be
so provided for t.s to make you forget your
past miseries. This scene look place yester

Curious Discovery.■—Caot: a:tp r.r.r.fF.ov err
carious teeth —M. La Beniirnn, tho medical'
electrician, has mafic a very’ curious discovery„
that the accumulation on the teeth termed
' tartar.’* is occasioned by animacula, which-arr?
visible on microscopic examination. Accord
ing to this gentleman, they gradually bori’ovr
between the teeth and gums, penetrate the en
amel, and *-nter the interior of the teeth, there
by producing the destruction, termed “curies ”
and also toothache. Mr. La Beaume, after nu
merous experiments, ascertained that the truo
malice acid (the purified acid ofthe crab apple f
not only immediately destroyed them, ’out dis
solved the mucus collection which protected'
them. He. therefore, recommends the teeth
to he brushed every morning, and also the
tongue, which, when loaded with foul shrnc,
is covered with similar animalcnla, with a lo
tion composed of malice and rose wafer, and
afterwards with the prepared areca-nut char
coal. This mode of managing the teeth is ex
tremely beneficial, as it not only removes, and
when used only once a w^ok, prevents its rc-
nccurnulation, but cleanses the tongue and pro
duces a relish for food. It-! good effects on
the tongue and palate, proceed, in fact, from
sympathy, or from a continuous influence trans
mitted to the stomach. Tbc irritation pro
duced by the animalcnla, and the offensive ef
fluvia from them or their surrounding slime,
nrohably of a fiscal nature, are extended to
the saliva glands; the consequence of which
is, that their secretion is unhealthy, and, no
doubt, a very common cause of indigestion —
Hypocratcs, who, in all cases, paid particular
attention to the state of the stomach, was ot
similar opinion, that a perfect or good diges?
| tion depends as much on the healthy state cT
the te^th, as on the sound condition ofthe di
gestive organs.
