Christian mother 10 form head for great nation,
the lustre of whose name will live so long as
our Republican States exist, broad shrine Tor
the worship Of freedom. III then the greatest as
well as the brightest example of woman's form
ing influence existed with u.s. i'll our own happy
land, why is not the cultivation of that power as
highly esteemed as il should be by our own fair
country women? In no country, perhaps IN the
world, where Christianity is taught, is woman so
little sensible of her vast powers and influence
as in the American States. The reason of this
is obviously because women here are domestic
in their habits beyond those of other countries,
and do not mingle in public assemblages. At
the fire-side is the stronghold of her power
there is that influence diffused and felt, while she
who exercised it, is totally unconscious of the
great momentum towards good or evil, she is
giving the growing characters around her. Could
they know that upon them devolyed the RESPONSE
bility OF making men virtuous or otherwise, how
lightly would they deem mere external decora-
lion, that only catches the eve and imagination of
the other sex, in comparison to the cultivation of
mind, that controls and influences them. it has
been said by an eminent author that the color OF
a nations morals is imbbed from its women.
Ii this be the case, Americans should be less
corrupt than all nations, for certainly their wo-
men are, as yet, more modest and religious than
those of any other country. Among us, the
marriage tie has ever been regarded sacred, and
society sternly frowns down its violator.
In other countries some females, with the dar-
ing ambition that characterizes strong intellecs,
when combined with undsciplined passions, have
avowed themselves inidels, and striven to shine
as stars in the hemisphere of metaphysical philo-
sophy; but where, in all America, with an extra
ordinary exception, the traveller point to an
atheist woman; and that exception has sunk too
low even to attract the finger of scorn.

TEXAS.

We have received letter from well informed
gentleman in Texas, who assures us that the
JOINT resolution of the two houses of Congress
to withdraw the proposition for annexation to the
States, will pass, as recommended by President
Houston in his address to that body. The feel
ing against annexation at this late hour is very
general throughout the Republic, and it is thought
by all we have heard from, or conversed with,
that the President but echoes public opinion in
stating that the delay at Washington proves salts
factorily that when the infant Republic were
found strong enough to support itself, the annexa-
ton would be granted, though then the aid Of
the United States would not be needed; and in case
our statesmen saw them unable to struggle against
their foes, they would quietly let them sink.
General Rusk having withdrawn, M. b. La
mar will doubtless be elected President without
opposition. Our correspondent says, sshe is
certainly the most talented, honest, and popular
statesman in the Republic, and lls elevated cha
racter will sustain the government under the most
trying circumstances in which it can be placed
His political views admirably adapted to the
condition of the country, and it cannot fail to
prosper under his administration. His popularity
in the southern States will carry thousands of
emgrants to Texas. There are several candi-
dates for Vice President, but it is thought that
Judge Burnett will be elected. A project for
national bank has been brought forward, which
nave no doubt will be established at the next
| regular meeting of Congress nothing will be
zone ABOUT this at its present session."

FE MALE INFL NCE.
BY MRS. p. w. BALL,

1t has been asserted by great French writer
that women form the character Of nation Ma
poleon said the mother formed the man. IF this
be true, the importance of early female culture is
too obvious to need pointing out to the most su-
perhcial observer of national character. II has
been conceded all sides, that nearly all the
eminent men, eminent either for GOOD or evil
have had mothers TO whose training thev owe
that eminence. The mother of WAsu1Scrox i
a brilliant modern example of maternal influence
wisely and iudciously exerted, producina ,ha
most glorious result. She pointed the son - ,
high aim; she taught him that virtue and oreat.
ness are synonymous; that moral courage is the
soul Of physical bravery; that discrimination AN,
falsehood are incompatible with true greatness
She had her reward; for her son stands recorde,
on the historians page pre-eminently GOOD a

the statesman and the philosopher, are all com
bined in the good man we love. The mother
of several of the Roman Emperors, we are told
exercised unbounded influence over tbeir sons
but they were generally vicious women. and -

A Fearful Death.-A slip from the Louisville

Journal, says:
. Many Of our fellow citizens may remember
Mons. Sciarra, French juggler, who was here
few weeks ago with beautiful little daughter
about nine years of age, who, under his direction,
was in the habit of walking on ropes to the tops
of houses. The little girl, we are grieved to
learn, fell from the rope in of her late ascen-
sions at Wheeling, and was instantly killed. The
infamous old brute of father deserves to be
hanged. We should half like to see him glib
beted afterwards, for absconding from Louisville
in our debt"

LICENSE LAWS.

BY REV. JOHN PIERPoNT.
s'We license thee for so much gold"
Said they who filled St Peters chair,
$50 put away the wife who's old,
And take one that's young and fair;
For public good requires dome
To swell like heavens, for us at Rome"
'For so much gold we license thee,
$50 says our laWs,) a draught to sell
That bows the strong, enslaves the free,
And opens wide the gate of hell;
For public good requires that some,
Since many die, should live by Rum"
Ye civil Fathers! while the foes
Of this Destroyer seize their swords,
And heavens own hail is in the blows
They're dealing, will YE cut the cords
That round the falling fend they draw,
And DER him hold your shield Of law?
And will We give to man bill,
Divorcing him from heavens high sway?
And, while God says, "thou shalt not kill
Say ye, 'for gold ye may-ye may?"
Compare the body with the soul!
Compare the bullet with the bowl!
In which is felt the fiercer blast
Ofthe destroying angels BREATH
Which binds its victim the more fast?
winch Kills him with the deadlier death?
Will ye the feon fox restrain
And yet take off the tigers chain?
The living 10 the rotting dead
The God-conremning Tuscan tied,
Till by the way, or on his bed,
The poor corpse carrier dropped and died
Lashed hand to hand and face to face,
In fatal and in loathed embrace.
Less emitting, think ye, is the thong
That 10 6reathing corpse, for life!
Lashes, in torture loatbed and long,
The drunkard's child--the drunkard's wife,
To clasp thai ciay-to breathe that breath,
And no escape? 0, that is death!
Are ye not fathers' When your sons
Look to you for their daily bread,
Dare ye, in mockery, load with stones
The table that for them ye spreads
How can ye hope your sons will live.
II ye, for fish, serpent give.
0, Holy God, let light divine
Break forth more broadly from above
Till we conform our laws to thine
The perfect law Of truth and love;
For truth and love alone can save
Thy children from hopeless grave.

lfications for the SuperIntendence of the
Institution. Indeed. we cannot but ex.
press our conviction, that NE have been
emInently fortunate in securing for this
institution, the services of one so well
qualified for its management.
In noticing the events OF the past wear
we are strongly reminded of the death of
one OF the Trustees, the late John Hell
brook, Esq. The deep interest he TOOK
in the concerns of the institution. his nc.
tual service in endeavoring to promote its
noble object, evinced that his regard for
this unfortunate portion Of the community
was OF no ordinary character. While hs
is thus removed from these active scenes
of humanity and generosity, we trust he
is gone 10 a higher and holier sphere of
usefulness and benevolence. Asa Keyes.
Esq. of Brattleboro' has since been chosen
to fill the vacancy in the board Of Trus-
tees. occasioned by his death.
There is one subject on whichthe Trus-
tees would not fail to remark. The
Asylum is entirely a public institution,
and whatever funds may arise, from the
board of patients and other causes, are ap-
piled exclusively to promote the objects OF
this charity. The Trustees serve gratu-
itously, and in no respect is the institution
source fpecuniary profit to any indi-
vidual. The terms are fixed as low "a
consistent with the support Of the esiab-
liskment
They would conclude their report, by
recommending this institution to The con-
tinued favor of benefcent Providence,
and to the vigilant scrutiny and guardian
ship, as well as patronage of the State.
