.Much yet remains mining. From the Constitution. WHIG ADDUCES TO I HE NATIVES” OF PHILADELPHIA. ’Tis done, the mandate has g-me forth, Deceive the South,and cheat the North—, Deceive, ileiract, embrace. betray, Do all, do every thing (or Clay ; And “conscience,” when is grows uncivil, Throw it, ay, “shrotv it to the devil.” Is principle to ward a b'ovv WOen inten t bids us give it? No! No squeamish thought our feet shall stay, AY hen policy n :.rhs out our way— And shall we Icwe the tempting prize For a prosjteclive parn.li.-e? Av, hotter far lor such vile leaven To “ reign in Hoi! than serve in Heaven.” What though with sacrilegious tread Wo break lie silence of the dead, And scatter, w ith a ruthless hand, Ti ipir skeletons around the lam!— And from the spire that points to G >! Hurl down the cross ’mid fire ami LltuiJ— Dal not the Goths of obi the same, IS hen from the nor ii those robbers came? ’Tis true when first our fathers met, Tne ruthless Briton a bayonet, A foreign host beside them stood. And with them mingled blood with blood; But we litre paid tho countie-s debt, Bv feasting good old Lafayette, And raising o’er Pulaski’s grave, A simple tribute to the brave. And would the foreign spawn have tnore, Than a bare shelter on our shore? True, they may match their fathers still, < rim fought our foes on Bunker's lull; And they may love the land they tread, As loved their mvn illnstrimtsdead ; Still, they were born beyond the sea, And must be slaves when slaves arc tree. And are they slaves beyond the sen ? The stern old Pilgrim, whence came be? A\ ho, ’mi ! the bowling winter’s storm. Trod the North shore with nobler form! Or ’mill the dy in* and the dead, Wi l; scarce a shelter for his head. Laid Freedom’s firm foundations there, AVith stronger faith or holier prayer? And who were they in after time, A\ ho left a iaiu! ii plrte with crime, A'racd with the old Rebellion’s gum*, To guard their wives and little ones; \\ ho made the wilderness to Itoir, And the wild pasture own the plough ; Bade th • s'.vict hells ol Sabbath ring, And crowned the King of Glory, Kir g! Oh. ’tis enough to give them room A\ iiliin the Revolution’s tomb; And Sid tlit* schoolboys lisp their praise O i Freedom's happiest, holiest dayi. AVe have no liberty to share A l > .th old DeKalb nrS cuhen’s heir ; Nor refuge for the exiled ones, In whom the blood of Emmet run*. Approach the sepulchre of year*. Hung thick with laurels, net with tear*, And read full many n gallant name A\ hoes echoes fil ed tin trump of fame ; How sweet they sleep in crimson there, h r.3 ol the Shannon and the Avr; \ host, ti at o’er no ocean’s flood Sought the dread baptism of blood. THE PAVS THAI’ AIIE GONE. A” INDIA* TRADITION —BY O. T. MORRIS. In the days that ate gone—by litis sweet flowing water, Two lovers reclined in the shade if a tree ; The mai I was the mountain king’s rosy lipped daughter, The y oung warrior, chief of the valley was lie. Then all things a round them, below and above, AA er* basking, us now, in the sunlight of love— In the days that are gone— By this sweet flowing sirnm. In the day* that are gone—they were iaid ’nralh the willow, The maid in her beauty—the youth in his pride— Eoiii slain by (lie fieman who came o’er the billow, And stole the broad lands where their children reside : Av hose lathers when dying, in fear look’d above, Ami trembled to think of the chief and lr.s love: lo the days that are gone— By this sweet flowing stream. .Veto Minor. Inferiors.—As there are none so weak that we may venture to injure them with impunity, so there arcnone so low that titcy may not at some time be aide to repay an obligation. Therefore what benevolence would dictate, prudence should confirm.— For he that is cautious of insulting the weakest, and not above obliging the lowest, will have attained such habits of forbear ance and of complacency as will secure him the good will of all that are beneath him, and teach him to avoid the enmity of all that nre above him. For he that would not 1 raise even a worm, will be still more can tious how he treads upon a serpent. A Fr.!NT.--The Richmond Star says : Folks who don't like the way papers are ed ited, ought to ask leave to put in a speci al it of the right sort. Any editor will fce glad to give such individuals a chance at any time. We would—just for the fun of seeing them cut tip and slashed by the crit ics, afterwards. Livery man who thinks! it easy to edit a paper exactly right, and to universal acceptance, ought to try it. May be he would succeed ; and if so, wottld be better entitled to a reward, than was the discoverer of perpetual motion. The N. Y. Atlas tells a funny story of a man with a tremendous large mouth, going tc a dentist to have a tooth extracted. On opening his ponderous jaws, the doctor re marked, “stop, sir, that is sufficiently wide,' as I am going to stand ontsid3 to perform; the operation.” Law. —A celebrated barrister retired from the practice, was one day asked his sincere opinion of the law. 1 Why, the fact is,’ re joined he, ‘if any man were to claim the coat upon my back, and threaten the refu sal with a law-suit, he should certainly have it, lest in defending my coat, I should lose my waistcoat also. The Richmond Enquirer says, in refer, cnee to the cheering prospect of Democra cy in the Old Dominion; “We shall car ry the State triumphantly, and not less than by live thousand. We hare made it our duty to gather the public sentiment from all quarters of the .State—not only at the CharloUsviile Convention, but through cir ca! rr oddrenM-d to every Republican nwmlier of Congress, in every Elector, und . • Uimr well mioritied cit'zeiis of tho State.

We find a letter in the Madisonian from Mr. Wickliffe, our Charge d’Affaires at I Sardinia, which gives some interesting [particulars in regard to American artists [now at work in Florence. The following are extracts from the letter: Power’s Grecian Slave. —“The Gre cian Slave” is a beautiful and poetical conception, executed in the most chaste j and faultless style. In a graceful and ea sy attitude, she. rests upon her right leg, while her left is slightly bent and inclin ed forwards. This position is selected by the artist to give that line of beauty the discovery of which is ascribed to Ho garth, hut which has ever existed in Na ture. Through the whole of this charm ing statue, this line of grace is carefully preserved. Her fair and delicate wrists are manacled with a double chain, most beautifully wrought, and apparently pla ced to indicate her unfortunate condition. In inserting this emblem of her state, the artist shows that he has studied the clas sic models, as well as Nature, to advan tage. Apollo is always represented with his lyre, Neptune with his trident, and Diana with his bow. The right hand ol tite ‘slave’ rests upon a small column, and : her left hangs gracefully on her side, as it | physically submissive to the chains with) which it is lettered. Her averted face; the tinge of touching affection that shades her classic features, tell hut too plainly [ the talc of her grief and the story of her misfortunes. Torn from the dear circle; of her admiring friends, from the protect ing roof of her beloved parents; from the j sweet scenes of her early childhood and i he sunny hills of her own native soil, she has been sold in the slave-market to the tttrbaned Turk. Perhaps the memory of home and of those forever left, but forever dear, at this moment steals over her afflicted mind?— Perhaps the sweet but k -lest images of her father, her family, and her friends, now fill the cup of her tender but touch ing grief? Perhaps she dwells with a pleased fancy but a broken heart, upon | iier affianced lover, who even now, from the sea-side looks, hut looks in vain upon ■ the wide ocean for the tracks of her ruth- less robbers? Who can look upon that faultless form, or gaze upon that lovely face, still lovelier by its grief, or not be hold those eyes whose lustre is softened hut not dimmed hy holy tears, and not be touched with sympathy and inspired with love for the unfortunate girl? Who can contemplate those round and snowy arms and not bunt to break the chains which manacle the lovely creature, and vow that the Grecian maid shall no lonq,- er l>e the Grecian slave? The anatomist may study this divide creation, and learn the matchless beauties and the perfect concord of a faultless form. The enthu siast may here behold a woman attired in beauty, replete with grace, and moulded in a sylph-like shape, found only in the Western Eden that first inspired the ge tiius of the sculptor. The sober and the ! serious may almost deem the artist Impi ous, who thus draws the gift of life from ion high, and attempts to rival, too suc cessfully, the fairest work of God. In terest, pity, sympathy, affection, are the alternate sentiments with which this sta tue fills every feeling mind. The idea is neither drawn from history nor poesy. It is the pure and elegant emanation of the sculptor’s own chasten ed fancy. Who can doubt that Mr. Pow ers is a poet, f>r his chisel produces the same effects as the sweet flow of harmo nious verse? The marble is as pure and spotless as the undriven snow. Neither on the face nr hotly is a stain or spick to be seen. Executed with the purity of the mind that conceived it, no drapery is ne cessary to suppress ihe grossness of tin licensed thoughts. Its very nudity is hut tin emblem of its purity; fills the mind with the most refined emotions, and ena bles us, as it were, to reach the godlike ; state of Adam, when he and the mother [of mankind walked naked in the garden without shame. The contemplation of this statue refines the taste, purifies the fancy, improves the heart, and elevates the soul. Flesh and blood might give color and motion, hut would these animal elements add to the beauties of this char ming creation ? Even Mr. Adams would not object to property in such a slave, ei ther in the District or any of the States. Alas! she will perhaps find a master on English gtound. j Power’s Eve.—ln his “Eve,” Mr. Pow ers has executed a work different in char jacter, but equal in beauty to his “Grecian | Slave,” Between those statues opinion jis almost equally divided. In truth they j are equally excellent, and persons prefer ■this or that, as the subject of the one or (the other is most pleasing to their tastes. The mother of mankind is represented by j the artist as we readily imagine her in ap pearance to have been. Her person, I though symmetrical, is larger than that of la Venus or a modern beauty. Her sea- ! tares, though regular and beautiful, in !spire respect and admiration rather than warm affection or ready love. Perhaps, in our present corrupted slam, our spirits are not sufficiently pure nor our souls suf ficiently exalted to be inspired with the sentiment of love, by a being so pure, so faultless, so divine, as was Eve before the fall. Formed and fashioned by the hand of God, she was, however, as Adam de scribes her to Raphael—' ————so lovely fair, That what seemed fair in at! the world, seemed now Moan, nr in tier Mimined up, in her contained. And in her looks, which from that time infused Sweetness into my heart, uiilell before, And in 10 nit .lungs hum tier air inspire-, The -pirit of love and amorous delight. The appearance of F.ve is described in one of the most beautiful passages of Par adise Lost, when gutau first beholds her and Adam in the garden of Eden. Uv the poet und our sculptor she is ulike por trayed us oi noble shape, tall, godlike, erect, und clad with the native honor of naked mejetty. In tttrtliviat looks ihtnet the image of her gk»rii>s» Maker. Truth, wisdom, sanctitude, are mingled in her features with softness and attractive grace. She, as a veil down to ihe slender waist, Her unadorned golden nesses wore Dishevill’d, but in wanton ringlets waved As the vine curl* her tendrils; which implied Subjection, hut tequired with gentle sway, And by her yielded, by him but received, Yielded with coy submission, inodes) pride, And swe»t reluctant, timorous delay. In the statue, too, her parted hair falls in flowing profusion all over her graceful neck, and terminates in rich ringlets on her right shoulder. The full develop ment of her person indicates that she well might be the mother of a nobler race than that of fallen man. The same fortunate purity of marble; the same characteristic chastitv of idea; the same graceful line of beauty, are observable in this as in the other statue. In her left hand, which hangs carelessly by her side, Eve bolds two apples, and in her right, partially distended, contemplates another of the forbidden fruit. She has not made up her mind to commit the filial sin. Around a column the serpent has twined his slimy folds, and the Arch Enemy of mankind secretly watches the workings of his in fernal lies upon the mind of the woman. She contemplates with pleasure, and thinks that she perceives the virtues of the fruit, which, though admirable in ap pearance, was yet forbidden to man. She exhibits a secret desire, which, though scarcely willing to acknowledge to her self, she is yet unable to conceal from others, to taste of the tree of knowledge —of good and evil. That peculiar self complacency, that satisfied, yet doubting smile, which a sophistry invented to cov er a sin given to the human countenance, are seen it) every Icature of her face.— •She dwells on tfie miraculous elocution which the taste of this fruit has given to the serpent. She has not, indeed, forgot ten the awful command of tier Maker, not to taste the fruit of this tree, but she re members, too, that the very command which tot bade its use, concealed not its praises. From the Cincinnati Mae, October 19. We copy (he following from Cist’s Wes tern Advertiser. Should the truth of this be established, it may certainly he pro nounced the greatest scientific achieve ment of the age. GAS AN “OBSOLETE IDEA.” In the Advertiser ofthe 4th of Septem ber under the head of “Important Disco very,” I announced the fact that a few species of light, fir surpassing the Drurn finond in intensity, was about to make its appearance in our city, and would be sub mitted to the public inspection so soon as the necessary letters patent were ohmic. 1 for the discovery. It was stated that a hall light, of ordinary size for table use, had enabled print to be read at the dis tance of three hundred feet, the glass in this instance, being rendered setni-ohabue iby grinding. This bad become necessa jry to reduce the intensity or light for prac tical purposes, the full brilliancy being c jqual to that ofthe sun at noonday. It was ! stated also that a tower two hundred feet ’high, or even less, would suffice to light 'the whole city, and that the tower when jbuiltjcould be lighted at an expense of (three hundred dollars. Finally, it was al leged that this discovery had been tested j for the last five months. When 1 stated i all this I was perfectly aware that the ac count would stirupa vast amount of in credulity. As my friend Wesley Smead the banker, says, and the remark evinces profound knowledge of temporal matters, “in the affair of this world men are saved not by faith,but by the want of it.” Hence; I was prepared to expect, and even to justify the skeptical air which many recei-; veil the announcement, and the knowing look with which others quizzed rue fir being sucked in ns they phrased it, toush- j er it forth to the community. I have now the pleasure to sav that all this is true, and that, as in the case of the Queen of Sheba the half has not been told. At that time I was not at liberty to say more, but now state — 1. That this light is magneto electrical. 2. That it is produced by permanent magnets, which may be increased to any indefinite extent. The apparatus now fin ishing by the inventors or discoverers in thiscase will possess twenty magnets. 3. That it supplies a light whose bril liancy is insupportable to the naked eye. 4. That a tower of adequate height, will enable a light to be diffused all over Cin cinnati, equal, for all practical purposes, to that of day. 5. That this light when once set in op eration, will continue 10 illuminate without one cent of additional expense. I suppose this light will prove the great discovery of modern times. It is needless to add how much it gratifies me that Cin cinnati! is the place, and two of its native sons, J. Milton Saunders and John Starr, the authors of the discovert'. Mr. D. A. Sanders lias gone on to Washing'on fori litters of patent, and on his returns public! exhibitions will be made of its astonishing! capacities. The whale, that great sea lubber, has been elbowed out of the community by the hog, the great land lubber. Gas for f üblic use has superceded both; alas lor i them all, when doomed to be reckoned a | mong the things that w'ere ! I have not time to specify the many uses to which light, independent ofcombustion [may be applied, and will merely suggest, as one, its perfect adaptedness to mining in which respect it is far superior in effi ciency, as well as scrutiny, to Sir Hum phry Davy’s lamp. Its aid to the duguer- 1 rcotvpeart alone is invaluable. A certain damsel having two ardent lov ers, and being perplexed which to choose, solved the difficulty by marrying one, and immediately eloping with the other. “ If roil were to have your choice, John, what death would you rather die 7” “ Well, J don’t exactly know—l should like to try the m sit fiefo* dwiding * Full anti W‘htter\ a- o o if %.

Having been m.lticcil, at the solicitation of sonic ofthe memtiers oftlie Democratic party, to take charge ofthe Republican Press in this place, we wi l hereafter, on every Friday morning, issue » Democratic pttper, under the atmvc title, at the "t --fict* ofthe late “Wilmington Messenger," in the town of Wilmington. As we Itave given a brief Ant line of the princi ples the “Journal” wilt advocate in our first rmtn iu-r we thiisk it unnecessary again to teiierntf the political doc!tines it wiil he our constant anti ear nest endeavour to inculcate. On the present oc casion, therelore, we will merely state, that the Journal will lie the uncompromising opponent oi each anil every ‘link’ in the whole ofthe ‘great chain’ of Whig measures—a United States Bank —a Protective Tariff-—the Bankrupt Act—liner ■iil Improvements hy the General Government, &,c- While on the oilier hand it will, so liir as our hum ble abilities will enable us, to be the fit in friend aml supporter of the Constitution as it was left us hy our Fathers; and of a strict construction of Constitution, thereby ensuring the rights ol tliese vernl States which compose the Confederacy. But we set out with the idea of not going into demit*- It would be a needless tax upon the readers lime. Suffice it to say, that the Journal will he a Demo cratic. paper, and will always advocate Democratic men and Democratic measures. Although the Journal will he a political paper, yet, in order that it may also he agreeable to the general reader, iis columns will always he open t" such it/ ms of intelligence as i\ ill be interesting 10 the Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic, Sic.

YYe hope ; we will mil lie considered too ‘personal in nur n i marks’ when we older a few suggestions to "-^ r I friends touching tin- necessity there exists for see* | ping on loot a Democratic Press in the J l,wn ‘ Wilmington. . , e In the first place, Wilmington is a ji.ncc n - Commercial importance ol any m me - it is situated in a Democratic District, there - great deal of intercourte carried on h.v 'he c 1 • ol'tlie lower portion of the State with inis |»‘ i and consequently a Press here would beca c ■ to do as iiiucl, .good, in . diffusing inlornia"oiv»» perhaps at anv other point, in the State. - * there are, we believe, three Federal m e ir . , Democratic pa|ier in the S'-!'
