We concur entirely with tho Baltimore
Republican, and other papers without distinc
tion of parly, in their denunciation of the
bigoted spirit of an article in a periodical en
tiled “ The Protestant," in which the ap
pointment of Mr. 'Pitney to the ollice of At-
torney General of the United States is de
nounced, because of his being “a Papist."—
Such intolerance is against tho spirit of the

ples on which our Government is bused.

The tendency of tho tax, or duty, on tho
imported article is, not only to raise its price
but also, in the same proportion, that of the
domestic article oftho same kind, f;r which
purpose, when intended for prole, tion, it is
in fact laid ; and of course, in determining
"hero the system ultimately places the bur
den in reality* this offi ct nlso, must be taken
in’o the estimate. If one of the sections ex
clusively produces such domestic articles,and
the other purchases them from it, then it is
clear that to the amount of such increased
prices, the tax or duty, on the consumption
ofthe foreign articles, would be transferred
lVoin the section producing tho domestic ar
ticles to tho one that purchased and consum
ed them, unless the latter in turn, be indem
nified l.y the increased preo ofthe objects of
its industry, which none will venture to assert

knowledge are these : the mate und one of
the crew had taken the pilot off in the boat
for the purpose of landing him—and as they
were returning, Captain iiilborn ordered ail
hands from thu forecastle to get up the an
chor, lie made repeated culls, without any
answer, he then stopped into the forecastle
to learn the cans", when ho was mortally
stubbed with a large knife or knives, und died
as W! understand before the mate reached
the brig. The cook nnd a young lad were in
the cabin at thu time, from whom this state
ment of facts was obtained. Tho brig Eliza-

murderers were secured und landed. What
led to this bloody outrage we have not been
able to learn.

The NraiiR.—Already application, wc
believe,has been made toGovernment.by some
of our adventurous merchants, for licence and
protection, or for such facilities as Govern
ment can afford them, for navigating the
Niger. We hear it is projected immediately
to despatch steam-bouts, and to try, if possi
ble, to open a trading communication with
central Africa, It is a curiouB, and indeed
a delightful speculation, to consider what the
moral effect of this maybe; Europe owes
to Africa a large debt for wrongs done, and
sufferings caused ; let us hope that she is
now about to make reparation, and thnt
commerce will introduce civilization ami
knowledge.
Phi Beta Kappa Society.—A writer in
a late number ofthe Free Press says—
“It is well known thnt, at the special iner

Boston, the subject of “secrecy" was long
and ably discussed, und that Adams und Sto
ry, mid Fuller, and J. T. Austin, spoke long
nnd nbl v in favor of taking off all secrecy.
It is also known,that a large Committee were
appointed to revise the whole Constitution
and charter and to report at an adjourned
meeting, which will be held we think in a
few days.”
Our French pnpers state that several

These papers announce, also that one

been sent from Algiers to France, and that
they will be distributed among the great far

in agricultural labor, until theyfshall be judged
capable of applying to the cultivation of their

Man Traps.—Over the ghrden gate of a

•\Man traps set on these premises.” A wao*,
who was passing, chalked beneath the no
tice, “ Fir (tins.” Whereupon he was ta
ken before a magistrate by a police officer.
Being put upon his defence for thus defacing
the wall of a respectable establishment, he
argued “that Vir was the I^atin for Man,
and Gin the English for Trap; ergo, that
Virgin was only another word for Man-
Trap ; though the fact might he that it wos
a highly inappropriate term, and ought not to
be used." The magi were posed, and the
man was sent about his business, with a hint
to beware lest he should be caught in his own
description of trap, as he might expect no
mercy if he were.
Conversation.—“ After nil conversation

REMINISCENCES—No. 2.
I pass over the intermediate scenes of my
h* e , which although they are endeared to me,
by the thousand recollections with which
they are associated, yet would seem trifling
and uninteresting to yourselves. It is a re
markable and striking illustration ofthe char
acter and disposition of maukind, that scenes
winch arc passing before their eyes, seem to
be regarded as objects, which neither instruct
nor interea’; but when they have long since
been buried in the oblivion,which time shrouds
the past in, when years of pleasure or mis
fortune have rolled over, and the laughing
boy has become the venerable und lioury fath
er, when they arc suddenly and unaccouuU
ably presented to our vision, hallowed hy
time, which has consecrated, as well as des
troyed them, bearing with them the associa
tions of youth, pleasure, friends long silica
buried, and hopes, long since withered,—then
il is, that vve turn with sorrow and regret,
from the reminisces of by-gone times, to the
sorrows of the passing moment; and weep nt
the reflection, that our steps cannot be retra :
ced. Thus it is with ine.
Of all the passions of tho human heart,
there is none which bus such nn influence
over the actions and character of mankind, as
Love. It makes the assassin a virtuous and
useful member of society, and converts the
gentle and bushful maiden, into a depraved
und abandoned wretch. It draws closely to
gether all the kindred ties of affection nnd
benevolence, and snaps asunder all the bonds
which had hitherto united those who had been
rocked together in the cradle of infancy.—
Every passion is connected with it, every
pleasure derives its origin from it; in short*
it has its influence over every class of society
and dvery period of life ; it commences with
tho cradle, und ends but with the grave.
Can you wonder that / was in love.
I well remember the first time I ever saw
the object of my adoration ; even now I can
almost fancy I behold the bright blue eye, and
laughing dimples, which stole qjv heart u-
way ; then there wus the affected frown,
which tried to lix itself upon a brow that whs
never made fur aught but cheerfulness ami
good humour, and the burst of merriment
which used to follow ; alas! I can only sou
them now infancy, the substance has passed:
away, and left me nothing but the shadow,
und the undying recollections of that being,
whose memory is to me, as the beacon that
points out. the haven of eternity. 1 thought
then, thnt there was nothing that could snatch
from me inv happiness ; that the love which
bound our hearts together, wouliM'o a shield,
which would enable us to defy poverty ard
misfortune ; affliction with all ltstrain, and
every evil that flesh is Imirto; fools that
we were—we did not remember that there
was a power which even love, all powerful as
it is, must yield to, and that alt ho* we could
defy the pains of life, all our fortitude would
be in vain, when Death came amongst us.
It is a consolation to the wretch who is in
the lowest depths of misery, that the next
change in his life must he for the better, and
it is likewise an alloy to that pure happiness,
which ought naturally tube our’swhilst in
the possession of talents, friends and afflu
ence to reflect, thnt having reached the acme
of enjoyment, our next step must be retro
grade ; that the succeeding events of our ex.
istenee may plunge us m a state of sorrow,
the more apparent, from the contrast we have
just been in the enjoyment of. Aias! I
thought not of this,—I gave up my whole soul
to the ideas of pure nnd unalloyed pleasure
which surrounded it, und when the minister
°f woe . b r °k° like a robber upon the'peaceful
hibilation of my heart, he bore away with
him, the object of my fervent adoration,—n:y
present anil future happiness,and the intellect
which the God of nature hndgiven me. 1 know
that 1 ought not to upbraid Him, for taking u-
way the latter, for it left mo fur a time in that
happy state of ignorance, witch is the pecu-
l.ar inheritance odnsanity, and enabled me lo
calm the bitter feelings of sorrow which
haunted me, even after Reason resumed her
throne. In short, it was the interregnum be
tween uncontrolable despair, and the milder
regret, which bullous the recollection of those
whom we have lost for ever.
It is unnecessary to enter into the details
of my misfortune. A sudden and violent at
tack of disease had converted that form,which
was chid in all the pride of beauty, and of
loveliness, into a disgusting and loathsome
ma>s. I turned in horror, from the remains
oi her, whom a few hours before I could have
worshipped. To add to my misfortunes, dnr-
ing tho time that I was bereft or reason, my
only remaining parent died, leaving me, u
solitary and wretched being, without one to
whom I could unbosom the griefs that pos
sessed me. There is no solitude like that of
the heart. lie. who is cast by some uufor-
scen event upon the shores of some uiiinbubi-
ted countr , iios vet much to console him in
the fond recollections ot'those, who are la
menting liia absence in the hand of his nativity,
and to whose embraces hu rmtu-vet hope to
return; hut when the heart is oust in the
wilderness of sorrow,and its hopes have hunt
crushed by the burden ot its griefs and uill , -
tions, there is no outlet from the paths os’
misery that surrounded it, but that coinnuu
avenue to Joy und Sorrow,—the grave. -
Such was 1 then, und such will 1 ever be, in -
ti! ihe few moments of time which unite me
to this earth, are forgotten in the nifflit-timo
ot eternity. S Lift EX.
