IN debate which took place a short time since
IN the Tennessee Legislature, Que of lis leading
members spoke OF our Ministers to Panama, as

OF manliestmg his contempt for both them and

Frequently breaks down every barrier, however
sacred.
ahle on this subject, we will remark that we
regret the construction which some of the citi-

remarks relative to the duel between Gems Hous-

them to the injury of the Editor ofthe Wbig

a taefa statement Of actual occurrences. Such

regard the remarks of the Wing" on which
they were founded-and in such light they
would have been viewed by any man whose fed

not obscured his perception. This explanation
We owe TO the Editor of the Wing, who has becD

Nashville writer; We hope not because he had
subjected himself to the imputation.

ECSTACY,

Soon after the PRONUNCIATION OF Dr..
Chalmers fame. he preached in Lon.
don, on publick occasion, in Row
land li;Il's Chapel. His audience was
numerous .and principally OF tho higher
circles. Upwards OF one hundred cler-
gymen were pre,ent, to whom the front
seats in the gallery we're appropriated.
In the midst of these sat Mr. Hill him
self, in state Of great anxie'y, arising
from his hopes, and fearful that he
should not succeed before an audience
so refined and critical. The Doctor as
usual began in his low mouoionoes tone
aud his broad provincial dialect was Wis.
IDLY di.agreeabIe to the delicate ears
of his metropolitan audience. Poor
Mr.. Hill was now upon the rack ; but
the man Of God having put his chain ii.
round the audience. took an unguarded
moment 10 touch it with the electyicii
ilaid of his oratory; and in moment
every heart began 10 throb and every
eye 70 fill. Knowing well how TO take
advantage Of this bald stroke, be con-
tinued to ascend and so majestIcIi aud
rapid was his fight, that in few MIN
utes he attained an eminepce 80, high,
that every imagination was enraptured.
The rapid change from depression to
Joy which Mr.. Hill experienced, was
too much tor him to bear. lie felt SO
bewildcred and intoxicated with joy,
that unconsciously be starred up frem

interfere, he streek the front of the

ment, now i'll the city, were present, as
were also the clergy and corporate authori-
ties of the city. The prayer, by the Rev.
Mr.. Post, and the sermon by the Rev. DIR.
Staughton, were fervent and impressive
and the music was in the highest degree
grand and solemn. The powerful choir,
formed from those ofseveral churches, was
aided by the finest instruments of the Ma
rine Band, and Its majestic strains produc-
cd their full effect, as they swelled through
the columns and dome of the vast hall, and
thrilled every bosom with emotion
The services of the day, having particu-
lar reference TO the same striking event,
were closed by those IN the evening at the
