the profusiOn of an ocean. His usual Calcu- IatIOn ot the heads which he demanded a. mounted to two hundred and sixty thousand {; and though he sometimes raised it as high as three hundred thousand, it never fell beneath the smallest number. It may he hoped, and for the honor of human nature we are in clined to believe, there was touch of insani- ty in this unnatural strain of ferocity; and the wild and squallid features of the wretch appear to have intimated degree of alena- ton of mind. Marat was, like Robespierre, a coward. Repeatedly denounced in the As sembly, he skulked instead of defending him self, and lay concealed in some obscure gar ret or cellar among his cut-throats, until a storm appeared, when, like bird Ofill omen, his death screech was again heard. Such was the strange and fatal trumvirate,in in which the same degree of cannibal cruelty existed under different aspects. Danton murdered to glut his rage; Robespierre to avenge his inju red vanity, or to remove rival whom he en- vied; Marat from the same instinctive love of blood, which induces wolf to continue his ravage of the fiocks long after his hunger is for his cowardice, Robespierre feared the fe rocious audacity of Danton; and with him to fear was to hate-and to hate was-when the hour arrived-to destroy. They differed in their ideas also of the mode of exercising their terrible system ofgovernment. Danton had cften in his mouth the sentence of Mach iayel, that when it became necessary to shed blood single great massacre has more dreadful effect than series of successive executions. RObespierre, on the contrary, preferred the latter process as the best way of sustaining the reign of terror. The appetite of Marat could not be satiated but by comh ming both modes of murder. Both Danton and Robespierre kept aloof from the sanguin ary Marat.
 Among the three monsters mentioned, Danton had the energy which the Girondists wanted, and was well acquainted with the secret movements of those institutions to which they possessed no key. His vices of wrath, luxury, love of spoil, dreadful as they were, are the attributes of mortal men; the envy of Robespicrre, and the instructive blood thirstiness of Marat were the properties of fends. Danton, like the huge serpent called the Boa, might be approached with degree of safety when gorged with prey-but the ap- petite of Marat for blood was like the horse leech, which says,-Not enough-and the slaughterous envy of Robespierre was like the gnawing worm that dieth not, and yields no interval of repose. In glutting Danton with spoil, and furnishing the means of indulging his luxury, the Glrondists might have pur- chased his support but nothing under the supreme rule in France would have satisfied RObespierre and an unlimited torrent of the blood of that unhappy country could alone have satiated Marat. If colleague was to be chosen out of that detestable triumvirate, unquestionaby Danton was to be considered as the most eligible"

 COTTON.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
St. Louis, March 25, IS

St. Lotus, MarCn 70, loZI.
 When I took my last walk along the wharves in Charleston, and saw them pi- led up with mountains of cotton, and all your stores, ships, steam and canal boats, crammed with, and grooming under the weight of cotton; l returned to the Plan ter's Hotel, where found the four daily papers, as we'll as the conversation of the boarders, teeming with cotton cottOn!! cotton!! Thinks to myself, "I'll soon change this scene of cotton." But, alas how easily deceived is poor short-sighted man! got into my gig and came to the New Bridge Ferry. Here I crossed over in the horse boat, with several empty cot- ion wagons, and found number on the other side loaded with cotton going to town. From this I@continued on, meeting little else than cotton fields, cotton gins, and cot- ton wagons. At Jacksonsborough there is much cotton raised. After meeting number of wagons loaded with cotton, I arrived at Barnwell; where the cotton fields and cotton gins extended even unto the village and where all the talk of him that laboreth, and he that is learned in the law, and him that sits on the judges seat, is of cotton. nAfter leaving Barnwell, O. vertook vast number of cotton loaded wagons, bound to Augusta and at the ferry, three miles below the town, had to wait for ten of thcm to cross before could go over. l now came to Augusta; and when I saw the cotton wagons in Brodd- street, ' vhistled! but said nothing !- But this was not all /; there was more than dozen tow boats in the river, with more than a thousand bales of cotton on each and several steam-boats with still more. And you must know that they have cotton warehouses there, covering whole squares, all full of cotton and some of the know ing ones told me, that there was then in the place from 40, 900 to 50, 900 bales. And Hamburg, (as negro said) was wor- scr, according to its size for there it puz- zled me to tell which was the largest the piles of cotton or the houses. now left Augusta for Milledgeville. l overlook hordes of cotton planters from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, with large gangs of negroes, bound to AL abama, Mississippi and Louisania, "where tho eOtteR land is not worn out" Be- sides these I overlook a number Of empty cotton wagons returning home, ,aDd great many loaded with cotton, going to Augusta. Two of these wagons meeting directly opposite me, the following dialogue took place between the drivers: "What's cOt- ion in Augusta l' says tho one with load.

Integrity is a great and commenda-
BILE virtue-a man Of integrity is a
true man, a bold man, and a steady
man. He is to be trusted and relied
upon. No brides a corrupt him,no
fear daunt him. His word is slow in
coming, but sure. He sh,nes bright
est in the fire, and his friend hears of
him most when he most needs him.
His courage grows with danger, and
,conquers opposition by constancy.-
AS he cannot be lattered or friglted
into that be disIikes, SO he hates fat
terry and temporizing in others. He
runs with truth not with the times
with right and not with migh,-his
rule is straight, soon seen, but too
seldom followed.-PENN.

HUMOUR N WIT.

The first is a pleasant, good natur-
ed companion, who whites away, per-
haps, the hours of a stage coach jour.
ney; the other, a sly, subtle, and
sometimes murderous companion, who
will cut your throat to raise a laugh
at the dexterity of the exploit. They,
though sometimes associated by stu
pid reasoning, are as distinct as man.
slaughter and murder. in-Ghct, there
is nothing in authorship So widely dis
tinct, rs wit and humour. They have
rot the same paren,s-walk not in the
same circle-live not on the same
food. One is a joyous boon compan-
ion, who readily joins in a laugh at
himself or his neighbour; the other a
jesuit, who ,hrusts his dagger into the
bosom of any man except himself
The one, If he wounds, wseps over
the cash which he has made; the 9TH
er smiles at the pain which he has
caused.
Harmless wit is true humour. But
wit with harm is the very attribute of
Satan. W. have known an arrow,
sent from the bow of wit, to tester and
destroy the heart Of his victim. But
true bumour caused misery to
the soul at which it was aimed. Face
tiousness shields the object of humour,
but severity in wit drives deeper the
arrow Of wrong. Humour may be
exercised upon your sister, and you,
as a brother, join in the laugh; but
wit, in its strict definition, would cause
the brother to challenge TO the field
its author. The true distinction be-
tween wit and humour, is like that be-
tween fencing with foils, and a mortal
contest with small swords. The one
causes death, the other admiration at
skill. With this belief, we leave the
subject. and to our correspondents
would wish the charm Of humour, with
out the point of wit.-RosroN SpEc-
TAroR.
