ma somewhat in the rear Of passing events, aud
we have lust completed enough reading 10 or'ns

In the interim. we are happy to nnd' mat al.

We are again indebted to Captain Rose OF
the ship Shenandoah, for files oi London ahu
, Liverpool papers up to the day Ut his SAILING
The conduct Of the authorities of Baltimore
with regard to the health Of that city, continues
! to be the theme every where Of deserved repre-
hension. We presume that they little imagine
the actual injury they are doing their city by
such course as they pursue
With the blessing of Providence, our town has
thus far escaped the pestence which is making
its ravases north and south of u.s. How long we
may continue exempt from the Affections which
press so heavily upon other parts of our country,
no one can say. We continue to rely upon the
goodness of Hin who has thus far preserved US,
and upon the renewed exertions Of our citizens,
and their determination resolutely TO abstain
from every thing which NAV induce the disease.
We trust that every one will feel that he is per-
sonaily concerned in securing the health OF the
town. This may do much to effect the object
desired.
The "madness Of party" was never more full
ly exempi6ed than in the case of the nullifiers
of SOUTH Carolina. II is great consolation to
reflect, that in discussing this matter, "out of
the infected district" we can speak nationally,
calmly, and without reference or appeal to par
tizan feelings, or personal predictions. AApar.
ties north Of South Carolina are Union men-
whatever else may be their political principles
We had hopes upon the passage Of the Tariff Bill
at the last session, that the excitement would be
Iessened. but as soon as the members returned
home, and we observed their speeches, and the
tone Of the press 10 South Carolina, We became
satisfied that our hopes were vain, and that the
danger was just then approaching. At this mo-
ment, reuoimion, or rebellion, in its incipient
stages, is going on in South Carolina. And how
can ii be otherwise, when the people, already in
furated. are led on D. scch men as Calhoun, Nc
Datie. Hayne aud Hamiiton?-men who have 81.
ant mlnds-who honestly think they are right,
and who glory in the course they are pursuing.
We see letter from Mr.. Calhoun, in reply to an
invitation TO public dinner, in which he speaks
of qualification" as " a cause most pure and
patriotic, and expressing his belief that in few
years it will be '.,he political faith Of the coun
try"
To make head against all the excitement in the
South, we have few such men as Drayton,
whose calm appeals to reason are unheard amidst
the thunders of invective, hurled by the nulli6.
ers against the expressions OF the government
COL Drayton has published his promised address
to the people of his Congressional district lie
concludes it as follows
"Shall we (says hej instead Of avaiIins our
selves of that tide in the affairs Of men. which,
taken at the food, leads on to prosperous fortune.
abandon whatever is dear to US as patriots, what.
soev err reno~ nwe have derived from our ancestors,
whatsoever of glory we have acquired abroad, and
whatsoever of liberty and happiness we have en-
ioyed at home, and rashIy barter away these IN
estmabIe treasures, to plunge into the vortex OF
Nuiihcation!''
Would that this important question could be
properly considered and answered by the asl-
tators of the South, who are now SO rashly tam
pering with the existence Of the ohly free RePub.

The detection Of the New York Courier and
Enquirer from Jacksonism has caused no little
| excitement in the political world. and has alrea.
DIV been the occasion of an address of "learned
length" from the editor of that paper, as well
as iunumerable paragraphs from papers all over
the country The loss of such journal as the
Courier and Enquirer will be severely felt by
s. the party" in New York.
Our present purpose is however not SO much
to comment upon the change Of the Courier and
Enquirer, as upon an incident connected with
that change In his notice Of the dissolution Of
co.partnership and sale of his interest jp the es.
