‘I be Yanker. Tin: I EV. . R. FOMEROY ON THE CHARACTER OF THE YANKEE. Avery facetious and interesting lecture war and livered on Tuesday evening, in the Taberna cle, Iy R ev. D. R. Pomeroy, of Boston; sub jeet, “The Y ankee.” He said that, in orifer to come on the subject of his lec ture, it would fie necessary to call their atten tion to a few historical facts. ‘J hose who dwell in houses and know sciences and literature art usually called civilized, and those who dwell ii tents are called savage. Ihe Assyrians, Chal deans, Medes, Persians, Greeks, and Roman. 1 had their frequent wars ofplunder and conquest and whenever they came in contact with th< northern tribes they have given us memorials of the people they have conquered. lt"*has been satisfactorily ascertained that three races hail passed trom Asia into Enrope. The first of these waves of emigration were the Celts cn Cimmeri, who passed across the continent t.ll thev reached the British isles. The second wave of emigration was that of the Scythian 01 Gothic race, some six or eight centuries -before the Christian era. The Celts vanished before them from the page of history, except those who had been in the west of the continent The Scotch, YVeldi, and Irish were the descen dants of these Celts. There is also more or less of the Scythian element in France, Italy, and Spain. The third wave of emigration into Europe was the Sclavonic. But our present purpose was with the second race, the Scythian. ‘Plie lecturer triced their course through the various countries in Europe. In the second cen turv there were three tribes oflhe Scythian race in Jutland, who were called Anglo or Teutons, from whom have sprung the Westphalians. English, and Americans. Three hundred of them landed in Thanet, in the river Thames, in the year 439, after the Romans had vacated Bi i tain. On the island they met a party of Celts, when a scheme of intervention was made be tween them —they invited more of their country men. and afterwards erected the little kingdom of Kent. In two centuries more they extermi nated the Celts, and reduced them to bondage, with the exception of the Welsh and Scotch. Tne Saxon Heptarchy lasted till the eleventh century, when the Norman element became predominant after the Hastings. These Anglo Saxon and Norman worthies were bold, hardy, indomitable, fierce, cruel and ferocious; they were kindred in blood with Goths and Visi g >th., Vandals and Ostrogoths, who had bat ti ivd down the blood-cemented walls of old Rome. There is no evidence, however, that they were savages, like the American Indians. They had arts. They manufactured armor. In the third or fourth centuiies of our era they ap peared in the page of history *as pirates, and a mo e cruel, bloody, and relentless horde never disgraced humanity. They were the fillibus ters of those dim ages. The terror of their name is hardly conceivable by us in these times of peace. The conquest of England led them to abandon their piratical habits; and then, in t'ie middle of the eleventh century, came the Norman element; and finally, in the sixteenth century, came the Protestant Reformation, all of which had a great effect in civilizing them. The lecturer then came down to the Mayflower emigration of the Pilgrims to the Plymouth rock. They must contemplate the institu tions—civil, social, political and religious—which they founded, and then they will understand how the people of New England are what they are. What is a genuine Y ankee ?—that is the question. He used the term Yankee as deno tinjr the natives of New England and all theii descendants. He would observe, in the first place, that a true son of New England is a very close observer. When lie travels he sees every thing within the range of his vision, and, walking up Broad way for the first time, he will be seen carefully scanning the names on the signboards and on the doors. He is verv in quisitive, too—there is always a question at the end ot his tongue just to minister to his curiosi ty ;in a railroad car he is quite annoyed, from the fact that he can neither see nor hear to the best advantage; on the steamboat, too, he will tax his übiquity to the utmost prying into eve rything; find him where you will, lie is a true, well defined interrogation point. All the world may laugli at him, but still he is no fool, and he will ask questions. Socrates was condemned to drink the poison cup because he had examiti ed everything ii heaven and earth; and if this he a capital offence, alas for the Yankee! He is, however, capable of becoming a very gentle manly person, though no conceivable art could make him a Frenchman or a dandy. None but a Y'ankee could give such a definition to the word “dandy” as that which may be found in Webster's durtionary. A Y ankee may have a carriage and a servant, but if you see that servant in livery, then you mav be sure he is not a Y ankee. (Applause.) This love ot plainness, simplicity, directness, has shorn our courts ot justice of all their ridiculous ceremonies. And even a Governor, if he should put on airs, would find on the next general caucus that his friends on the whole, were rather in favor of the princi ple of rotation. In religion, too, he likes his j minister to speak in plain intelligible Saxon. In j 4 ess, equipage, m timers, speech, and religion, j he is a decidedly plain, blunt, outspoken, umeie moniousindividual. In philosophy, the Yankee belongs to the utilitarian school—not that ol Jeremy Benthain. This philosophy he nas not derived from books or universities—it was boi n with him, and*is an integral part of his nature. There is lodged with the Y ankee race ?t very considerable amount ol strong, plain, everyday good sense. A son of New England has no special reverence lor what is ancient merel y be cause of its antiquity, though it must be admit ted he is often taken by anew theory or pri i ciple liecause it is new. Idle theories or dreamy tjieculations are quite a drt g in the market, and tuey cannot help saying “YVnat is the use?” li is true, no doubt, that New England is in tin habit of coutiibutiug money, and men and wo men, to some foolidi idea; but then it is only what • le has to spare, and she j reserves the real goiu tor works of real value. The ltcturei commented upon the disci iminating qualities ol the Yankee intellect; and for this sharp meta physical acumen they weie indebted to the pul pit, the school house, and the open Bible. This characteristic has been acquired by the great honor accorded to skill iu figures; aud there are undoubtedly at this moment hundreds of boys and gills stiiving to work out a difficult problem in the rule of three, or square root, who will hereafter be heard of in some grand railroad or other scheme in China rr Africa. A true Yankee has a strong sense of justice, which makes him keenly alive to the injuries himself or others ma y suffer. If you touch him wrong fully he will make heaven and earth noisy with his clamors. This feature is Anglo Saxon, and Norman, and Scythian, too. Akin to this ele ment in the New England character in his love j of liberty. Our ancestors never bowed their ; necks to the yoke of bondage. They knew’ liow to subjuga e and rob, aud make merchan dise of other men, but they never were slaves themselves. What would have been the con i dition of Ireland for the last hundred years ii she had onl y contained three millions ol Yankees? He strongly suspected Ireland would not now he as she is. This love of liberty enters large ly into the elements of the New’ England enar acter. A true sou of New England lias a clus- ter of qualities which passes under the name of enterprise. There is a well known Yankee word, which is very significant of his enterpris ing qualities, and that word is “gumption.” ; When you see a young man, the morning when , he is of age. starting into the world, with all his | goods, real and personal, tied iu a bandana, and not having the slightest doubt of his success, you may depend he is a Yankee. Who are the principal teachersand professors of schools ? —and when a President is wanted for any ol the Western colleges, whom do thev send for ( A Yankee. Subtract the Yankee from the commerce and manufactures of the United States, and what have you left? Give a Yan kee, trained in the common school, a few’ acres of granite rock, and he will not only make a living, but grow’ rich anil become a munificent founder of colleges and institutions. From ihe restless, roving Scy tliiau propensity of the Yankees, one might think they cared little for their country, or for the graves of their fathers; and yet, strange as it may appear, they love their New’ England home. Her rocks and val leys, her streams and snows and piercing winds, are all verv dear to them. They love to recall the little babbling brooks, and the mountain for est, and though impelled by a restless enterprise to the farthest bounds of the green earth, there is not one of them who does not Slope to lie down in death in some quiet nook of their own Now England. A villainous Yankee is one of the most villainous ruffians in the world—pro b ably the worst men in the city, a? well as some of the best, are of New England origin. He might refer to other traits of the Yankee, but he knew that among their other qualities they were by no means remarkable for tbeir.patience under a long discourse. The lecturer then concluded. (Times mrtr Sentinel. COLUMBUS, GEOKGIA. SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 3, 1853. ’I he Death of Mrs. Fillmore, “VVliat shadows we are, anif what shadows wc pursue !” The dreadful calamities which have followed swift upon the heels of success in the lives of our public men, teach, and were intended no doubt, by a kind Providence, to teach, the American people the vanity of a 1 earthly pursuits. llakkison and Taylor, hardy veterans, who had marched unscathed through storms of balls in the front of battle to the glittering pinnacle of earthly grandeur, sunk into the cold grave ass h>ii as the laurel wreath was placed upon tin ir brows. The applause of adnii ing millions had not died upon the ear of Polk, before he was stunned by the hollow voice of death, before whose pestilential breath his green honors were nipped as by an untimely frost. The swift winged lightning had hardly nnnounc dto Pjekce his election to the Presi dency—aye, even among the congratulations of his frit-lids on his success, and when his h art beat high with exultation, his dariing boy, his “Absalom,” was torn from his embrace, and his hearth and heart made deso late, by a blow as unexpected as it was crushing. And 1.- st of all, the glim monster has snatched from Fill more’s fond embrace the lovely form of her whose smihs to him were light and life, and left him crushed and beggared to plod his lonely way through a dark and gloomy future, to the tomb, even aitnd the loud notes of preparation to do him honor throughout this broad land What to him now is fame! The voice ot praise as well as of censure falls heavy and unm ailing upon the ear of grief. The hallucination of life is disp iltd — its honors are withered leaves—its wealth, the toys of childhood —its hopes, delusions -its bright sunshine a glittering mockery—there is nothing real i ut death— it h>oms up before him—a horrid monster whose bale ful shadow datkens the whole horizon of 1 fe—he sees it in the glittering lightning—he hears it in the rolling thunder —and every passing breeze whispers death death ! in whose dread presence the mightiest exclaim with Wolsev— “Thi* is the state of ma” ; T o day he p* its forth The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms, And bears hi-* blushing honors th ek upon him ; The third day. comes a fro t. a killing fro t ; A d—when he thinks, good ea-y man, full uiely, His greatness is a opening—nips his root , And then he falls as I do— -1 h ive ventu ed.

Election at New Orleans. At the late charter election in New Orleans, for six Aldermen, and 26 Assistant Aldermen, there were but two whig assistant aldermen leeted. Salary of Judges. The Legislature of La. has fixed the salaries of the Judg*s of the Supreme Court at $4500. — This is an example of liberality which we commend t<> <*ur next Legislature. The saiary f>r a Judge of the Supreme Court ought to be high m >ugh to command th best legal talent in the State. Our pr* sent rates cannot tempt a first rate lawyer from his practice, if he is a p. or man—poor salaries will insure a succession of poor Judges, and pour Judges give ample guarantee of incorrect decisions. Reorganization of the Union Party—Position of Got. Cobb. , A few disaffected Democrats who have forfeited their ; position with their own party by a renunciation of some ( of its fundamental principles and a long continued and bitter denunciation of its prominent loaders at the South, ami the unprincipled of the old whig p rtv who play the card that wins, no matter whether it is taken from the baud or sleeve, have been attempting to galvanise into life the effete body of the Union Party in Georgia The Journal $ Messenger vtry truly and forcibly ie- J marks in this Connection that “there are as yet, in the as : pects of State and national politics, no issue upon which such a party can be fornnd, and no nicessny for its formation. The name of Union, prejudice against the Southern Rigiita Democracy, and the dtad issues of ISSO. are the basis upon which it is proposed to reconstruct a j Union Party. Wc will have nothing to do with such a skinless, bloodless and lifeless organization.” * * “We do not believe that such a re-organization can be accomplished. Th” letter of Mr. Hull (in illation to Gov. Cobb’s position) confirms our previously formed opinion that the Union Democracy did not desire it, and a large portion of the whig party, we know, never have ceased to repent the first organization of the Union Party. Where are the elements to give strength to the resuscitated corpse of the Union Party?” We take it that the*e hot shot will utterly demolish the tottering walls of the “Union Hotel.” and that it its coots are again re-opened by HoLsey and Sani-ord, its customers will be invited to feast on empty di.-hes, imd that, unless they beat a swift retreat, they will be bur ied beneath its tottering walls. Governor Cobb was the Atlas upon whose broad shoulders the Union organization rested. We barn from Mr. Hull s letter, an extract from which we pub li-.li below, that *he has withdrawn from the odious task and “now stands prepared to sustain the great Democratic patty to which he has always belonged, and to tight as a private in the ranks, for the imp risiia ble principles of Jefferson, Jackson and Polk, and which he hopes and believes will derive additional strength and lustre from the administration of Franklin Pierce.” Mr. Hull says— “But my object in writing : s not to discuss these mat ters, but to disabuse your mind, and thoseot your readers, as u> flit* pos ton ol Gov. Cobb in that matter. Your aiticle gi'is me the opportunity of do.ng Gov. Cobb what Ins magnanimity prevented his doing or h msclf. I write without h.B knowledge, and possibly what he would not p rtrsit if lie knew it. Bui it is due to truth and justice that nis pos tiou should be known. The writer of this professes to be as well iitb rnitd as any othir n an. as to the opinions, sentiments and views of Gov. Cobb, and 1 affirm that which 1 know, when 1 say that the ticket wh eh was put up alter ihe Atlanta m etitig was brought out against his wishes and advice, and against his ear nest ejurts to prevent ii. “i know that he wrote urgent letters to Judge James Jackson, at Carnesville, win re General Wi.ff.rd was du riug Cos irt, press.ng upon hnn to see General Wofford, and endeavor by every argument to induce him to decline running on that ticket, and aicipt the place on the regu lar ticket, which fie was then adv.sed would be tendered to him. fck> far from his ‘sympathy and secret efforts,” being for tl e “Tugalo Ticket,” he disapproved of the movement from fiist to last, and his friends knew it. “It is true that Gov. Cobb was in favor at Atlanta of a different course from the one pursued. From the day when the Unon elevtornlYtckct was nominated at Mil k dgcvilie, he had labored to br.ngabouta compromise of tile ticket on terms which would secure cordiality and harmony all the friends of Pierce and K ng. “The Atlanta meeting was called at Sns suggestion, and for the purpose of promoting that object. Before a.-setn bhd it badge onto obvious that our proposals ot eom prom se would ii/t be responded to. Gov. Cobb proposed in that ease to nominate a tiekit composed of those gen tlemen of the other ticket, who had eviucid a willingness to arrange the matter,and to fill up the other places with <he names of Union Democrats, and call on the whole D jntocraey of the State to rv-buke by their votes Lire spirit of proscr ption and persecution wh eh had been manifested by some of our Southern Rights brethern. This was his wh. le course in the matter. The Atlanta meeting deci ded and ffcrently, and in their decision Gov. Cobb acquies ced, and gave, as I said before, no encouargement w hat ever to those who did not. “Is it nskt and why he and and not publicly announce that dis npprobation ? It would h ive bten pol cy in him to do so, hut the noble and generous heart of licwi ll Cobb shrunk from striking a blow that would wound his triends, even though he thought them in the wrong. The! jut. of mum s advocating the movement included many who were his bi st and nearest friends. They had stood by him through s onn and sunshine, and though his sense of du’y preven ted his aiding them, he was not the man to hit up his hand against them. He has pat ently home all the vitu peration and obloquy wh'ch has been In aped upon him on that account, and still bears it. “The time has come—now when then the election is over—now when the new Administration is fully formed, and the suspicion of seeking Cabinet offices can n > lon ger be arous -d in the minds of the most uncharitable; that his friends owe it to him to make his true position known Gov. C“bb now stands prepared to su tiin the great De mocratic party to whi hhe has always belonged, and to fg it as a private in the ranks, for the imperishable prin ciples of JefF rs >n, Jackson, and Polk, aud wh eh he hopes and bel eves will derive additional stredgtli and lustre from the Administration of Franklin Pierce. Rospec.fully. WM. 11. HULL. Later from Mexico. By the schooner Ed ward Bernard, the Picayune re ceived full files of papers from Vera Cruz to the 19th. and from the city of Mexico to the 15th inst. With the exception of Vera Cruz, there seems to he little feeling produced in Mexico by the publication of Senor Escobar’s report of his interview with Santa An na. Several of tile papers published extracts from ii after having had it some dajs, but without editorial re mark* of any kind In an article on the government of Gen. Lombaid’ni. the Siglo of the 15th instant has the following : • in fact, as yet no one can tell the final result of the revolu tion.

NOMINATIONS AND CONFIRMATIONS— APPLI CANTS FOR OFFICE——WORK IN THE CENSUS OFFICE, ETC. Washington, March 24, 1853. The President to day nominated John Sli dell, of-Louisiana, as Minister to Central America; Joseph Laire, as Collector at Pensa cola, and Mr. Humphries, of ‘Tennessee, as Judge of that Stale. The Satiate confirmed Mr. Moneyponny, of Ohio, as Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and Judge Mason, of lowa, as Commissioner of Patents. A considerable number of postmas ters, registers and receivers of office were also confirmed.

I From the N. Y. Tribune.] The Vacant Jal^eship—The Spanish Embassy —New York Appointments. Washington, March 22. Much to the disappointment of the Southern Union Savers, the Supreme Court vacant seat has fallen to the lot of the other wing of the party. John A. Campbell, Esq , of Mobile, who carries off that piize, was about the most ultra Secessionist in all the Southern States during the late struggle in that quarter over the Com promise questions. I may truthfully add, that though comparatively unknown north of the Potomac, (for he has never been in either branch of Congress,) lie is about the ablest man connected with the ultra State Rights organiza tion anywhere. That is, lie is chock full of talent, genius, industry and energy, to say nothing of his proverbial shrewdness as a poli tician, yet he is sadly deficient in ballast, lie Utils woefully to carry lha ii proportion to his sail. Mr. C. is about 45 years of age, not oldet, and was born in Georgia, whence lie emigra ted to Mobile on enteiing manho id. For the last ten years lie has been, deservedly, at the tiead of the Alabama bar. During the Nash ville Convention times lie contributed to the Southern Rights Press the ablest, bitterest, and j most violent articles against the Union {perse, i if I am not much mistaken,) which grew’ out of that never-to be forgotten controversy. If ft am not greatly mistaken, Mr. Campbell was not an ippheant for the position, being urged on the Prtsident in all probability chiefly by Col. Jef ferson Davis His appointment vvi 1 take capi tally in his Judicial District, wherein be is ex ceedingly popular, and as a ju ist and a3 a man he commands the respect and co ifidence of every one, notwithstanding the ultii.ism ofhislate ; secessionist sentiments. Gen. Downs, of Lou- I isiana, desired the place, in ease he could not command the Mission to Spain. The appoint netH of Campbell to it satisfies me that D. will (btain his first choice, as he is about the only leading Union party Democrat in all the ex treme South, who deseives and really enjoys the entire confidence of the President. I have no idea that Senator Souie entertains the slightest notion of going ; b oad ; nor can 1 con ceive that he would be sent to Spain under any j pressure in his favor, however enthusiastic the President may be in his admiration for certain peculiar traits in his (Soule s) public character He is decidedl y too much of a genius for the Administration’s purposes at the Spanish Court where our Representatives for the ensuing foui vears may expect to have a far more exciting time than will be encountered by either of hL colleagues at other European capitals. W want no dashing diplomatist in that quarter no man of peculiarly brilliant points-.huP steady, safe going, long headed, patient anil plodding man —one who carefully looks* after small matters appertaining to his duties, and will, therefore, busy himself in noting, collab ing and keeping alive the little items of* the ac cruing account against Spain, which, in time may be useful as the basis of, or justification for* events to occur, which are sooner or later t> end in our acquisition of Cuba, according to th* calculations of the “manifest destiny” men ; Downs, of all the statesmen of the South jj i this man, to a notch* and I am persuaded that his peculiarities w ill ere long cause him to | Jt . dispatched thither. “Mother,” asked a little girl, while listening to the reading of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” “why don’t the book mention Topsy’s last name ’ 1 have tried to hear it whenever it spoke of her but it has not once spoke it.” “Why, she had no other name, chib’.*’ “Yes she had, mother, and 1 know it.” “What was it ?” “Why, Turvy— I Topsy Turvy.’* “You had better go to bed, my dear,” said the mother. “You are as bad as your old grandmother, for she can’t say poik without beans, for the life of her.” THREE .DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
