a Resemblance between the bounty apprepri-
ations for enlistments, in this country, and
the divisions Of the ancient Romans. but
there is no counterpart, we believe, in any
example, to the Republican Virtue of those
American States, who laid such vast gifts
on the altar of our holy Union. MAY Hea-
ven reward them in its perpetuation. That
the title of "whig'' in its revolutionary inn
port, is as foreign to the principles of those
who assume it, as Grace is from Beelzebub,
no one knows better than themselves. They
may strut and swagger in their. borrowed
mantle, and call US names-' agrarian,n if
they please. But all will not do. The de.
ception is only temporary and limited. The
principles of the democratic republican party
are the same as > in the days "sthat tried

are destined to be the triumphant vindica-
tors ofthe rights of man. l" '1.r1' "
We recommend to the consideration OF
the wings, the following remark of an hon.
est editor of their party, in an address to his
patrons :-"Let U.S." says the editor, "then

ralists) and no longer make fools of our.
selves, by trying to make fools of other peo.

MR.. CALHOUN

Some OF the whig presses have lately dis
covered that Mr.. Calhoun is a very inferior
sort of a man. This is the practical COM
ment upon their rnle--as they have all the
talent, instance. Mr.. Crockett, and all the
decency; ,videGcet, Messrs. Wise and Pey-
ton-it follows as matter of course that
any man who differs from them, sinks, from
that circumstance, into immediate ignorance.
In fact, if we may judge from their language,
every thing opposed to the Bank Aristocracy
is decidedly vulgar, illiterate and wicked
The talismanic power of the very name of
whig, converts buffoon into an accomplish
ed orator, & blockhead into "a s'ripe" schol-
ar. There is one sentiment expressed by
Mr.. Calhoun, which we fear the modern
wings will never have the magnanimity or
the patriotism to adopt. Speaking of the
United States Bank, Mr.. c. says: r ... .'...
ssBut if all these, and many other objections
were overcome, there is still one which
cannot surmount. There has been, as we
all know, conflict between one of the de-
partments of the Government and that in
stitution, in which, in my opinion, the de-
partment was the assailant; but cannot con-
Sent, dtleE WHAT mas OCCuTIcu, " give " the
bank triumph over the Government, for
such its adoption as the fiscal agent Of the
Government would necessarily be consider
ed. 1t would degrade the Government in
the eyes of our citizens and of the world,
and go far to make that bank the Govern
ment ITSELF" IT ...,.,. .' s.t...' "a. .
| The noble sentiment of national pride, of
attachment to the government of "our own,
our native land" appears to be despised by
the wings; the household affections of patri-
otism have given way to rancorous preju-
dice-and they would see the government
degraded, they care not how nor by whom.
The above remarks Of Mr. Calhoun well de-
serves the compliment bestowed upon them
by our Senator, Mr.. Strange, distinguished
alike for his talents, his benevolence and his
love of justice. Mr.. 8. says, in reference to
the same subject, the Bank .... --..
| "There is another reason urged with great
force by the Senator from South Carolina,
who sits near me, and that is the triumph
which would thus be achieved by the bank
over the Government. The attitude as-
sumed by that Senator in relation to this
whole subject, is one of high moral sublimi-
ty in which he has noby sustained himself
both by his matter and his manner; and the
argument coming from him, that he would
not yield to such triumph over the Govern,
ment of his country, is an argument which
does credit to the heart which conceived
aud the lips which uttered it,"

~ We are at loss to account for the
phenomena of these spontaneous explosions;
but think it probable that the expansion of
the earth beneath the strata, by moisture, or
some other cause, produces them.
Concerning the state of liquefaction, in
which the rocks might have existed, there
are two accredited hypotheses On record
Werner, a German geologist, we believe, was
of opinion that the substance composing
primitive rocks, were penetrated by and dis
solved in water; while others have believed
that the earth was, in the progress of its for
nation, of SO high temperature, that its
materials were of glowing or red heat
These two have been called the Neptu-
nian and Vulcanian hypotheses. Itis sub
ject on which even conjecture must light
cautiously, for the absurdities of the wise, in
matters of geological antiquity, are stand
ing jest for mankind; and among these va
garies Of the imagination may be ranked the
notion of Button, that the earth was por-
ton of the sun struck off by Comet So
anxious is philosophy to evade the conclu-
sions drawn from great and sufficient Cause
for all things, in the Power of the Deity that
it demands our belief Of absurdities more
monstrous, than any ever engendered by the
rankest superstition. .-.. ;. tsgis
But to the rocks of our Quarry: We OBJ
serve, in several instances that dislodg-
ment of the parts of the rocks has taken place,
and they are united as firmly in their new
position, as those which have not suffered
change of situation by the assures. This
might favor the idea of hquefaction in some
degree; but others present the appearance of
having been broken by straight line, and
again united by cement of equal hardness
with the stone. If we might be permitted
| to guess, we would say that these rocks were
broken by some great convulsion of the earth,
even since the food, and have been healed
by the haad of ma t,ra, In the process of time.
