MR.. LEIGH.

The ENQUIRER threatens Mr. Leigh IN the true
Trces' yco.-N'c quotea few. of the r1eing zen
fences of the mad pyestess:
"The People of ireinia will not quietly sub
njttosnch an ahusc-'fher DELEGATES will be true
10 their trusts The Press Will openly, freely, and
firmly speak ont. w have given IN this d. 5
papcr several Essay, from the pms OF Our CORES

will WAY warmer aud Narner
The people Of VIRGINIA will not quietly submit
to such an abuse" What ahusa Why, that
Mr.. Leigh shall take his seat in the Senate, To
which he has been fairly elected by the representa-
tiycs of the people |, that an "abuse'! Why,
was but the other day that the Enquirer itself adj
mued that all it asked of NJ. Le-h, or had RIGHT
to ask, was to "fesign or o6ey instructions.
Why, then, is it not content to wait until he has
refused to do one or the other of these thing, !
WHY does the venerable Editor Of that Paper
the crewhilc friend of !" Ngcrnon Sl. =, when
both of them believed that Gen. Jackson = cec-
ton would he curse to the country,-wht docs he
urge NJ. Leigh to resign ao1c, before instruction,
have been given, much less disobeycd How does
he reconcile his present dcnunciations Of Mr.
Leigh. for determining to accept the Office which
las been conferred upon him, with hi, own pre-
Won, admission that all which the opponents Of
Mr.. L. had liaht to demand that he should
either obey such instructions as may be given to
him, or resign!
The Enquirer however, tells Il, thai this 81
premcy ridiculous clamor against Mr. Leig'I will
wax warmer aud warmer. Its RoasaR lcgion>
fiNina their lanccs in rest, and the Whole band
led by the modern Jalius Cesar, are To hur them
at Mr. Leigh throughout the summer Docs the
Enquirer suppose thai Mr. Lcgh is vulnerable to
such weapons or that he can be deferred by such
dotard threats from pursuing the course, which he
has deliberately chalked ont as the path OF duty !
We thought it know Nj LEIGH better All the
" small poiHejaRs," whose nonsensical produce
tons iil the columns once adorned by the magai-
hccnt essays Of Roane and Hay, may fire Their
por-guns until doomsday but the Rock ct Glib
ranr will remain as firm though no powder
had been burnt Mr.. Leigh will take his seat,
though :" all Bedlam and parnassus" be let loose
and the din of the battle deaen even the cars Of
the valiant complaints themselves. And still far
thcr, he will discharge his duty, in dat fearless
manner which becomes Senator Of the Cd DO
minion. The time never was when the denuncia-
tions of the Enquirer could have driven Mr.. LEIGH
from his course though it mas triohenel many
other more timid spirts.-But if that time bad ey-
cr been, it isnot non. Public opinion in Nirei-
MIA is not now, as formerly, moulded in Mr.. Ril
ohic's matriX The people feel like dispensing
with thinking machine.

TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD.
There's tunefhl river,
In Erin's Isle,-
Where the sunbeams quiycr
In siivcry smile;
Where the leaves that fall
Meath the autumn sky,
Grow gcm-likc all,
And never die;
And r><sh IL the stream, by truth enlightened,
That leaves the breast by wisdom frightened,
Whcte even the JOYS that the storms disscscr
Are turned 10 gems that glow forever.
There's darklng lido
In the Indian cline,
BY whose hcTblcss side
There's suphcry slime
To the flower that il touches,
scorching wayc,-
To the bird that approaches,
wcltcring grave
And such are tho waters OF bitterness rising
In the desert bosom of dark Disgusting;
Aud the birds of Joy, md the flowers OF feeling,
Must perish, wherever that wave is stealing.

HALLEl'S COMET.
PROM rms NrV HAVEN HERALD. Sept.

fh'h ilih NV NAV IN HER Al ID, sept. >.
Having been favored with sky unusually Sc
fenr, We have continued Our obscr, a,ous on the
Comet every morning since the 3lst August, from
one to three o'clock, during which time it has
moved on its way about one degree and twenty
minutes very nearly in the course assigned BY the
computation. TIN, morning its position was We
~ favorable for observation, being in the same
field III the telescope with fine cluster of stars
whose place Is Given in ller>chel's Catalogue
published IN the Philosophical Transactions for
1888, being No. By of the catalogue.
The Comet appears nearly circular, is about
two minutes in diameter, brightest in the centre.
and fading away in an lll-dctincd mar GIN ap-
pearng more like a log than like planetary body
lis position tbs morning at two O'Clock was, as
nearly as we could determine, in right ascension >
hours oi.b minutes, declination y p deg. - IN.
The orbit OF this body has been competed with
immense laborby three distinguished astronomers,
l.nhbdek, Damoi,eau, and Pontccouant who have
seNcrally fixed ii, perihclion passage, or that of
least distance from the sun, for Oct. 81 Noy / and
\ov.7P onteeoulnt, however, subsequently, rev,
ed his computation, and fixed the pcrlhclion on tin,
lith OF Novcmbrr BY rather hastv calculation.
founded on the best observations we have been
able to make, Ii appears that the pcrihelion will
occur still later, proahy to the amount of two
days.
10 give some idea Of the correspondence OF
our observations with the last results OF calculations
il may he rcmst! cd, (l) that the place where the
comet was first observed on the 3lst of August
differed from the raee due 10 it, according to the
lmal estimate OF Pcntccoulant, Only about half a
degree and therefore the observed and compli-
ted places are found in nearly the same p0int on
the artificial Globe j; (2) thai the velocity obSc,N e,
Is extremely near to that given in the Nautical al
manack for the present time and (3) that the time
OF pcrhelion will probably come out within day
or Two oi the time assigned, or indeed on the yer,
day, rs by Littrow.
These condolences show with how much are.l-
ter accuracy the elements of the comet have been
calculated on It's present than its previous
visit, since the nearest approximation then
made 10 It's time Of prrihcon was about 80
days and It's place when first observed. was so IA,
ia' from that assigned by computation that it for 4
long time cluded the search OF astronomers and al
last was observed tust by German shepherd.
The presence of the moon IN the morning slly.
will interfere with observations for the next fort
night. At the end OF that period, we may expect
10 see the comet exhibit far more IMPOSING an
ptardnCc than at present.
