 1. When one man is taken by 'nistake for another, and committed by justice of the peace 10 jail for the night, how does it answer to charge him costs the next morn ing
 2. When person Is carried before a magistrate for galloping a horse through the street, and acquitted, ought not the costs to be exacted of him as a compensation " for our fHie trouble 2"
 3. If man is hired to dig grave at the expense of a corporation, and has the impotence to ask for his pay from the off, cer who employed him, does not juSiice demand that he should be elapped into jail, and charged costs enough to cover the price of the grave, and d dollar or two over
 4. Do not justice and humanity, demand that all magistrates, peace officers, &c. should rebuke every free negro who suffers dying man to breathe his last under the shelter of his humble roof!
 5. Is 1t legal for a constable to march in- to mans house or store, without written authority, and seize personal property on account Of arrears of store tax

THE PRESIDENCY.

1t IS, Tn our opinion, not yet time to se- lect a candidate for the Presidency in op- position to the candidate whom the sup porters of the men and measures of the present administration have already indi- cated as their choice. In time, no doubt, a selection must be made. Respecting the manner in which that selection shall be made, we see no harm in exchanging opin- ions now. To let our readers know what is said on the subject, we copy the follow ing paragraphs from two Whig journals of recent date. Nut. hltel.
 From the .Nitionat GaxpHe
 at IS subject of satisfaction that the wHIG public writers and speakers seem disposed to set aside, for period, their ia vorite candidates, and unite in simple eff fort to overthrow Jac ksoaiS,ii, which means, 10 save our liberties and Union. Let all the intelligent, seflecting, aid patriotic citi- zens of the Union be rallied under the sirl- gle and transcendent banner of the Coasta- luton with the comprehensive and glori- ous common title of wHIGs, which implies devotion. not to men. but to free gov ern- ment and pure political morals. There is little doubt that the aspect and results of the elections of this year will be so favor able to the wHiGs as to warrant a conf dence almost that, with unanimity of choice and concurrence of effort, they would carry single candidate against the candidate of the cabal and the tories.- Those indispensable conditions, unanimity and combination of power and eadeavor. might, we think, be accomplished by means oi general convention of the Wings of ihe Uninn, tp be held next winter al Wash ington, with the object, principally, of re- commenting to the country, some proper statesman as the successor of President Jackson.n

Forthcoming Works.-The New York Commercial Advertiser gives the follow ing account of several works shortly to be published.
 " Among the American works shortly forthcoming, or in forward state of pre- paralon, are several in the hands of Ga rey S Lea, which We are quite impatient to obtain. First of these nay be noled volume, or volumes, from the Rev. Charles ;. Stewart, Chaplain of the U. States Navy, giving the result of his observa- tioEs during a visit 10 England, in I632- B. Mir. Stewart Is one of the best de- scriptive writers in our language-as we'll of men and manners, as of natural scene ". Miss Fanny kemble's (now Mrs. Butler's} work, upou our country and its manners, Is in forwardness, and will be published in the course of the autumn. The author of 'sswallow Barn." who can place himself at the head of American mo- yelists if he closes to do so, has another work in hand, whleh Carey & Go. will soon publish; and Miss Leshe is prepar- ing another volume of her agreeable "Pen- cii Sketches" The author O! "Jeremy Lewis" has written new book-free, as we are assured, and as We hope, from the blenisbes and immoralities of the former. Professor Dunglison's new work on Hy- geine, will also shortly appear; and d friend who has seen 1t, writes that, "as it Is calculated for all such nervous people as yourself, 1t Is to be hoped that much good may be done by it.o Now, We should like to know whether MT. Dunglison has ever had the dyspepsia, or whether he was moi born before nerves came in fashion If aye; he IS not competent to write upon the subject. The same publishers have likewise in preparation the notes of Ger man Traveller upon things in general in the United States. The writer, as we learn, must be cousin Germon to Prince Puckler Muskau-or perhaps the redoubta- ble Pckle-and- Mustard himself---who knows Dr. Bird, the able and popular dramatist, has likewise a new novel in the hands of Carey, which may be looked for soon. Itis entitled Calavar; and the scene is laid in Mexico, at the time of the con- quest Thus it will be seen that the trade of authorship is thriving amongst us, not withstanding the distress and difficulties of the times"

ators to the Congress of the United States. The census is to be completed by the sec oDd Monday of November, and the returns to be immediately made after the compile ton of the enumeration of the inhabi- tants.
 They passed acts extending the laws of Michigan to the country west of the Missis- sippi. which was annexed by congress to this territory, and organizing counties in that conntrv, as well as 9 new county io be called Milwaukie, east of that river.
 And they unanimously adopted resoIu- tions, declaratory of the right of the people of Michigan to the protection and privile- ges of q permanent State government. as soon as they ascertain that they have pop ulation ofsixty thousand souls; declaratorv of their just and rishtful claim to the boun- daries established in the ordinance of l767 and the acts of Congress passed in pur- suance of that ordinance, and calling upon the Stafe of Virginia to require from the government ot the United States faithful observance of tic provisions contained iii the ordinance, and the act ceding to the Un- ion the Territory northwest of the river Ohio.
 The Legislative Council merit the thanks of their constituents for the promptitude, intelligence and firmness, with which they have executed the purposes for which they were convened, and for the determination they have evinced to assert and maintain the rights, interests and liberties of the peo- pie whom they represent.

! That his ear was no less correct and accu-
 rate than that of Byron, tlle melodous
 rhythm of his blank verse, leaves no room
 to doubt.
 With respect to the diction of both poets Ito their command over language, their Icopiousness of expression-the coio,4ag.
 of their thoughts, we need say little. With
 q greater variety of language, Shakseeare has produced no more brilliance than Byron. ii4Ihese .s peculiar dazzle in the verse
 of the Iatter--and the words are so richly
 and properly disposed ard applied, as to remind one of the glowing pictures of Ra- Ifael, Titan and Guido-for at times his verse resembles the different style of each of these masters of the sister art.
 have dwelt upon this subject long, and I would fain hope that it has been with some small pleasure to this society. Crit ieism is at all times a difficult task. The charm of poetry consists so much in the undefnable and mysterious effect produced upon US, the course of which we can sci den, distinctly perccive--it t Is so far from depending on mere words, or measure, or thought-that to analyze the merit of that which delights us, is almost impossible. We trembte, we thrill with passion, We shudder with horror, we are excited to en- thusiasm as we read. If we go back and ask ourselves what particular train of thought, or cadence of verse or connection of words have produced these effects, and from Them attempt to define the poets pow CT, we are in a trackIess desert. The eff fects produced on Us, prove inc power, not the instruments which be used to produce those effects. The simplest word-a sin- gle expression is often all that acts upon the soul like silyen trumpet and there fore it is that criticism Is difficult Every man will judge of the poet by the effect produced by that poet on his own mind and as that effect often, and in some nlea- snre, always, depends on the peculiar tex ture of that mind, men will judge of genius, each one differently. and each one more or less hy rule derived from his own nature.
 If therefore, should have been mistaken in any position l have taken, trust that the true reason will be given for it in your minds-that it is the fault of our nature and 1t may be considered that no eye pur sues the towering flight of inc bold eagle into the hottest sunbeams, without being bewildered and dazzled, if not blinded by the gaze.
