Spring. what Pott lujs not sung thy loveliness?
Anil who mid ;i!l the throng lias justice drnc
To this’ \ Not one ! They feel the blissfulness
Os thy renewing presence : but not one

As well might Artist.-* strive to paint the Sun.
In mid-day splendor ! They summon courage high,
And o’er the theme they think they have control,
But a- the subject deepens, high wrought eestacy
Ineffable, steal-* in and overcomes the soul.

Tlie Caning affair.
We are as much the friends of law and order
n:ul of freedom of speech and of the press ns it
is rcasonsnb'e to bo, but not of the abuse
which are twi often perpetrated in t> e names.
There are points beyond which even the most
salutary and conservative rule may become a
palling oppression, and that is when it tolera
tes licentiousness and thereby requires passive
obedience and non resistance under circum
stances of the greatest, provocation. We con
sider that an ember of the court, or of legisla
tive body, forfeits lrs privilleges of free discus
sion when be decends to scurrilous and libel
lous personalities; and that he lays himself
open to personal chastisement,as thconly remedy
within the reach of the aggrieved party who,
if he chooses to inflict it, cannot be said in
strict truth end justice to have committed <>uy
breach f ] rivilege. though lie may of the
peace, and cons qncntly subject himself to such
penalty as a jury ot his peers shall assess. Nor
have we any fears for the liberty of lie press
r sympathy with any member of it when lie
draws down upon himself a severe retribution
from some party whose feelings and character
he has cutanged by abusive and s’anderous
jKTSonalilies. No Good end can be attained
by a dcpaiturc from courtesy and respectful
language, c.ther on the floor of Congress or in
the columns of a newspaper. It was Gold
smith. we believe, who uttered tlie sentiment,
that the heaviest calamities are often borne with
philosophic resignation, where little villanies
penetrate the soul and sting it into madness
And thus while the severest wounds are given
in the polished language of debate, (gentlemen
use no other,) and borne without wincing,
< aurse and slanderous invective defies all hu
man efiort to preserve an equanimity of tem
per, i:; keeping with the d : gnity of the House
—and ‘quite athwart goes all decorum.’
With regard to the special case of Senator
Sunnier, cur only regret, if we may allow our
selves to feel any on the occasion, is, that he,
a member of so grave and dignified a body as
the Senate of tlie United States*—perhaps we
might here add, once was —should so far have
furgot what was due to his senatorial position,
to the State which lie represents, and to his
own self respect, as to have indulged in such
language ns ho used in debatc-so grossly scur
rilous, vituperative and insulting as to have
provoked the chastisement, lie received, Mark
you—although it was inflicted on him in the
Senate chamber, it was not until after the
Senate had adjounifd, His attack on Mr
Butler was the most dastardly, unmanly and
unpardonable, from the fact of that gentleman's
absence from ‘Washington—added to which,
bis advanced age and venerable character made
him no match in a personal contest with Mr.
Sumner, who is in the prime, of life, even if lie
had sought personal redress.
The affair, it seems, has produced an im
mense sensation in Boston. The black repub
licans regard it as their exclusive property,
and held an indignation meeting of their party
at which it was resolved that none but black
republicans felt any interest in the mauling
which their Senator had suffered, and that all
but black republicans were indifferent on the
occasion No doubt they will do their ugliest
and worst to turn the Sumner licks to political
capital in the approaching contest. They had
better admonish their Senator to keep a civil
tongue in his head for the future, though per
haps that he has already received will suffice
forthat.
We have presented our views of this affair
in no sectional spirit. They contain just such
sentiments as we would have felt and uttered
under the same circumstance*, if the geograph
ical position of the parties had been changed.
In all matters of national import, save those
involving Inc constitutional rights of the South
we know uo North, no South, no East no
West.
ltcilglou in Adversity.
The life of man has always been a mix
ed state, full of uncertainty and vicissitudes,
of anxieties and fears. In every religious an
diencc, snrs Blair, there are many who fall
under the denomination of the unfortunate;
and the rest arc ignorant how soon they may
Ik; called to join them —for* the prosperity of
no tnau on earth is stable and assured Dark
• loads may soon gather over the heads of those
whose sky is now most bright. In the midst
ot the deceitful calm which they enjoy, the
storm that is to overwhelm them has, perhaps,
already begun to ferment. ‘Jf a man live many
years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him re
member the days of darkness, for they shall be
many.
Hence, to a thoughtful mind no study can
appear more important, than how to be suit
ably prepared for the misfortunes of life; so as
to contemplate them, in prospect, without dis
may, and, if they must befall, to bear them
without dejection. Throughout every age, the
wisdom of the wise, the treasures of the rich,
and the power of the mighty, have been em
ployed, either in guarding their State against
the approach o( dUtress, or in rendering them
selves less vulnerable to its attacks. Power
has eudeared to remove adversity to a distance
philosophy has studied, when it drew nigh, to
*o quer it by patience; and wealth has sought
out every pleasure that can compensate or al
leviate pain.
“While the wisdom of the world is thus occu
pied, Religion has been no less attentive to
the same important object. It informs us of
a ‘pavilion’ which God erects to shelter his ser
vant ‘in the time of trouble;’ of a ‘secret place
in his tabernacle,’ into which he brings them;
of a ‘rock on which lie sets them up:’ and we
are told, too, of a ‘shield and a buckler’ which
be spereads before them, ‘to cover them from
the terror by uight, and the arrow that flieth
by day,’ Now, of what nature are those in
struments of defence which God is represented
as providing, with such solicitous care, for
those who fear him ? Has he reared up any
bulwarks, impregnable by misfortune, in order
to separate the pious aud virtuous from the
reet of mankind, and to screen them from the
common diseases of life ? No. To those dis
asters we behold them liable no less than oth
ers The defence which religion provides is al
together of an iuternal kind It is the heart,
uot the outward state, which it professes to
to gard. When the time of trouble comes, as
come it must to all, it places good men under
the pavilion of the Almighty, by affording
them that security and peace which arise from
the belief of Divine protection. It brings them
into the secret of his tabernacle, by opening to
them sources of consolation which are hidden
from others By that strength of mind with
which it endows them, it sets them upon a
rock, against which the tempest may violently
beat, but which it cannot shake.
Auctions do not attack the Christian by
surprise, and therefore do not overwhelm him.
He was equipped for the storm, as well as the
calm, in this dubious navigation of life. Un
rier those conditions he knew himself to be
brought hither; that he was not to retain, al
ways, the enjoyment of what he loved: and
therefore, he is not overcome by disappointmet,
when that-which is mortal, dies; and when
that which he knew to be transient, passes

Point of Honor Settled.
On the morning of the 2d inst a party from
Montgomery, Ala. arrived in this city, for the
pnrpose of settling a pcint of honor. Mr. H.
Hudson and his friends arrived on the night
train and stopped at the Perry House Mr
George W. Lyman and-his friends arrived at
noon. On the affidavit of V. 11. Tommey, of
this city, a warrant was issued for the arrest
of the parties. No sooner did the second par
ty set. foot on our soil than the deputy sheriff,
Brooks, arrested Mr. George ‘A . Lyman and
B. L Possey At the request if the parties
arrested, they were carried before Judge Wor
rell. His Honor, however refused to hear the
case, holding that the Magistrate was fully
competent to determine the matter. A writ
of habeas corpus was then sued out and grav
el by Judge Bull as to Mr. Posey, whose
name was not included in the affidavit on which
the warrant was issued, hut refused as to Mr.
Lyman, who appeared before Justice McKeh
dre, and there being no evidence to sustain the
warrant, was discharged. Mr. Hudson avoid
ed arrest by going over to Girard, Ala. as
soon as notice of the issuance of the warrant
reached him. During the afternoon a meeting
was agreed upon for Tuesday morning, but
was prevented by the interposition of a party
of friends from Montgomery, rho reached this
city in time to prevent the shedding of blood,
by an amicable arrangement honoiable to both
parties.— Times & Sentinel.

St. Louis, May 30, 1856.—The St. Louis
Republican, this morning, publishes a letter
purporting to come from Independence, May
26. which states that eight pro slavery settlers
