Southern Literary Messenger,
The May Number of tins very beautiful and
ably-conducted work has been lying f>r some
time on our tabic, wailing a leisure opportunity
to Jo it the justice which may not ho awarded in
a mere passing notice; and as such opportunity
docs not yet occur, to avoid further delay wc
adopt the following remarks upon it from a long
mid able critique of the Richmond Compiler,
I abridged to less lhan half ol its original dimen
sions, for which we could not at piesont find
room.
“ The Messenger is undoulitrd'y among the
first periodicals of the day. and continues to mer.
it the decided apt lolia ion of the South. Devo
ted to general literature, it now opens to South
ern wnlc sa most ample opportunity of inlrodu
cing thein-elves to the reading public. The li
berality and independence with which it is con
ducted, throwing its pages freely open to all dis
cussions orVon nbu ions, which have a tenderu
cy to advance the course of literature, science or
morals, inu-l ever command lor it popularity and
support. The editor has added a now depart
ment to his journal, which is much needed in
our section ol country, and through wine , the
new issues from the ptoss will be speedily intro,
dueed to die reader.
“Influence of Alurals," is the continuation of
toe able lender of toe March number of the Mes
senger. The ability in the use of Hie pen, is as
ptominrnl in ibis as in the first pan of die essay,
and we award Ui it much praise for the richness
of the style and the high tune of its morality; hut
wc are at a loss to perceive die propriety ol the
nntpudifi. d denunciations ol (he liberalism, nr as
Ibe writer misnames it. the hcen ioiism ss of lin
age. We fear we shall never appiceiale such a
crusade against the Hisiituiions, customs, nor li

in no past lime were die morals ol tlio eoininn

“Desultory Thoughts on Human Credulity
mid Versatility ,” is Ibe production of an übsei
vanl and relleeuiig mind, and ably pounrays the
ui sur.iiii s and ultraisms ot Ibe day. Were
gret that die writer has referred to the peculiar
doctrines ol one or Iwo churches, as insumees of
supeist.it-on, while the fact is staring us in he
lace that olbcrs are ut c.opting to wiu can equal
ly exlermliia ing warfare agai st the licedoiu ol
opinion and rational liberty. Ills the spirit of
die age and if not chetkeil will riot upon'he
dearest ol all hum m rights, die freedom of
thought. The inquisitorial edicts of the nine
leendi, less boldly issued than ihose ot the sis
teenlh century arc less fatal to the progress o(
1 1 tcraturc and the rights of man. The -in ject is
fruitful with lessons of benevolence and virtue,
and wo tru-t will exercise the public mind. The
article will he read with ■ merest, and heartily ic
sponded to, by every well wisher of tbe human
family.
“Adam 0 Drien ” is*a narrative of an inter
v tw With tme or Virginia’s front ter men ; ,p
w li bn mien s'itig to many renders of the
Messenger, bin for ou-solves, w snou'd rather
see its gifted author in another and more yiold
i g Held. He will understand it, when wo
say that the present, uidde lacks “creative
skill"
The biographical sketch of Francis W.
Thomas , is h ghly interesting to us, ior w
have nut forgotten Ins interesting face, as he
peregrinated tlie streets oi 13 Idtnore, resting
upo i Ins red-capped crutch. He was then an
interesting boy: years have rolled by, and
manhood has unfolded iiilclleclnal powers
winch were thou quiescent in infancy. Mr.
Tnomus commands a Ingli place among Am
erican poets, but us a novelist, seems to have
devc op' d his talents but partially.
“Jack O' Lantern" is a wordy chapter, but
as yet wo tin nut see the wit of it.
“Innovclions in style. —No greater service
can he rendered to the cause ot literature,
than such cautions and criticisms ns are found
m the article under notice. The gene nil ex
tension ot education has brought upon tin
stage an almost innumerable host of writers ;
and md -ed, the quest ion, who is not an utn hor?
is more apposite in tins age, than who arc the
authors ol the day.

The Son thorn people ought to ho proud of a
work so well calculated to advance their charac
ter, generally, hoth at homo and abroad. They
should promptly and zealously afford every means
in their power, to enable its enterprising and pa
triotic editor to continue the improvement hereto
fore so strikingly manifested. We feel assured,
from our knowledge of the character and past ex
onions of Mr White, that no possible exertion
will be spared on his part, to render the work
every tiling that its most sanguine friends can
hope or dedre from it; and it is truly painful to
learn, as we do privately, that owing to the delin
quency of many of Ida subscribers, bo is now en
abled to sustain it only by the proceeds of other
property, which has been greatly injured by the
drafts upon it to sustain this enterprise. This
is really too bad; and can it be possible, that there
is any Southern subscriber, professing to patro
nise the work from a liberal regard for Southern
literature and character, so callous to his duly,
and to -in or jtislice, as to defer any longer rbe
Jn.-t and strong claims upon him, rnpeaiedly pro
furred, after learning this tact? Indeed, lire no
tice in the last number (again calling for such
dries, and again, promising that “if subscribers
tyiil generally pay r p promptly, so as to enable
hmvjo meet the necessary expenses,the Me.-.err
ger sbMliu every respeetbe materially improved l
a d rinse.l to a yet higher rank, unsurpassed hy
any similar American^or foreign publication,”)
ought of itself to prompt every delinquent to
pay up at once—at least, every one who makes
the least pretension ol regard lor Southern litera»
i lire nod char actor, and who on hi to liln»h with
shame in the sight of such a c.arrn upon South

Mr. WRIGHT presented a communication
front the Governor of the Stale of New York,
containing the j ant resolutions of the Legisla

action by Congress in referent e to Duelling. Laid
on tire table and ordered to he printed.
Messrs. WRIGHT and HUGH AN AN pre

perty at Key West. Referred to the Committee

Mr. CLAY ('resented a petition for the estab
lishment of a National Hank signed by a large
number of persons. He took occasion to present
ids views of the conditions and regulations under
which such an institution should ho placed in or
der to lie productive of the greatest advantage to
the community. Many people, he said, were ol
opinion lhai the design ol him and his friends,
was to erect the Pennsylvania Bank into a Na
tional Institution. He had the giealcst confidence
in the financial skill, and integrity and patriotism
of Mr. Biddle. No one did he know in whom
he would have equal confidence ns the manager
of such an institution, except Mr. GALLATIN
Hut he was not runleiiTlii g for this or that indi
vidual,—this or that institution; and though ho
would be content that nit exis ing bank should I e
made the hirsts of a National institution, he
thought it would he mote expedient to have a
new one. It was the institution, a properly or
ganized and beneficial link of the I doited .Slates;
he was anxious (of. He then proceeded to stale
at le igth and in regular order the conditions
which might to be annexed to any proposition lor
such a bank. He declared, Ire would rcgrci to
see one established mi o-s called for hy. public
opinion He was ready to reqniesce in the de
cision of the po pie whether lor m against a Hank.
Afer a little declamatory twaddle from Mr
ALLUN of Oht a Mr. Buchanan rose and most
gratuitously assuming dial New York City was
to be the place for this New Dank, and that Piri.
ladelphia was to be abandoned, po cceded to p o
test with a vehemeney quite amusing, against
the establishment ol any such monster in New
York. I am, said tie. opposed In any and every
Na’ onnl Bank, hut it we are to have one, I pul

Mr CLAY expressed his surprise at the grain
ileus assumplioii of Buchanan. He had not sug
gested a sing e syllable as to place. He had
gone into new details. He made no formal pro
position for a National Hank si all. He would
not submit such a proposition to a packet! jnry.
He then cmnini Hied in a lively and pungent
mam er on the remarkable fact dial Buchanan
was so earnest nr urging the selec ion of I’niladel

Itany Editor can he found hardy enough,
after reading the following paragraph from
the same paper, (the Ed tor of winch is an

parties of the North nre identified, we shall
give hnn over to a reprobate heart and a per

“VVc do not pretend to understand the

The statements of that paper m regard to
the treachery of the great body of “the party”
to the principles of old fashioned democracy,

—in its extreme nnx’Cty to secure Ihe favor
ol the slaveholdmg South, it has overlooked
a multitude of important (acts, tending to
show that the principles of emancipation have
found a resting pi ice even tinder the banners
of inoilerii democracy. The Globe speaks ol
