T From a Canadian paper,

Since our last the lons wished for intelligence
from the Tni'ed States has arr rived. The blow
has been struck which forever sunders the United
States. South Carolina aud Georgia have re.
spectively taken the stand from which no force
at the command uf the manufacturing States can
remnve them. Hence all apprehens1ns Of 4an.

are dipeHsd. New and never failing markets
will be thus opened for the products oi her indus

to the acme of national strength and greatness.
This Union. which was 10 endure forever, and
to be an everlasting example Of mans caPabl'ity
Of self government, il seems however. ha> not been
calculated TO last even the term of single life
Opinions to this effect, have been thousand
times expressed BY men read in human nature.
and coinc,dent with and confrmatory Of them,
is the extraordinary fact. that during the sitting
of the South Carolina Convention which met to
seal the doom Of the Union, that body were
called upon to pay the last tribute Of respect to
the last signer Of American Independence.

unto WISDOM" and learn from such things az

From the Baltimore Patriot. I

Tue NEXT PREsIDENcY.-We observe that
several papers in different sections Of the country
have already evinced disposition to enter upon
this question. by throwing out the signal OF their
individual preferences. Without censurins these
we must only say, for ourselves, that we are not
so ena,uored with party strife, as to adopt sim.
liar course of proceeding. The agitation Of this
question seems to Us the more premature, as
the present incumbent-but recently elected
has not vet even entered upon his second term
Of office. 10 US it would appear but natural,
that those who went the most earnestly into the
long and ardent conflict SO recently ended,
should now he willing to take breathing spell,
and enjoy the calm Of respite.
The free discussion Of all public questions, of
men aud measures, Is one OF the rights guaran :
teed 70 every American citizen. 1t may be, too,
that the preservation Of our liberties is partly de-
pendant on the occasional exercise OF this right
But sure We are, there is possibility of carry
Ing this right to an extreme. As 10 other matters
SO in -, one may have ITO much of good
thing" The liberty of disagreement, If perpet.
ually enacted, would, in our view Of the subject,
stand some chance of falling into that predica-
ment. There are times, when as free citizens,
Jealous Of our rights, and anxious to secure the
interests Of our country, by 'eievatlns the best
himself impeled into the warfare. But the con.
lest past it is not less certain, that most men, al
together free from motives Of personal interest
are willing to put an end to hostility in fact, as
well as in form. and to enjoy, white they may.
the tranquilizlns pleasures OF PEACE.
Such at least, we acknowledge to be feelings
uppermost IN our own mlnds. IL we are ready,
when the times require it, to "bucke on ar
mour," we are no less ready, when fair occa-
sions Offer, to cultivate the arts Of peace TAX
ing the present period to be one Of those happy
conj0actures-how long it may endure, is not for
u to determine-we are exceedingly we'll dis
posed to enjoy a respite. Ia another month we
shall have the second inaugural OF President Jack
son. He is, "nolens volens," our president for
the next four years. Wishing the best for our
country, we cannot but wish, he may improve
upon the past, and make good president. Now
as heretofore, we are willing to "judge the tree
bv its fruit" When, in our view it brought
forth evil, we were never backward with the sen.
tence OF our condemnation. When, happily, it
was otherwise, we were willing to give just ere.
