All theories (and there are many,) account
ing for Dreams, seemed to us obscure, doubtful,
and unsatisfactory, until phrenologists informed
US OF the complex structure of the brain. On
this theory, and on this alone are the phcnome-
ma Of dreaming cxplicable.
Were the brain a unit it could not act in some
parts, and not in all the others, as we see takes
place in slcep-whcn some faculties of the mind
arc awake and actively engaged while the rest
arc in a state of the profoundcst repose; it would
be obliged to act all at once or to cease all to act
Now the first never occurs during sleep, and the
latter rarely. But admitting tho brain to be
composed OF distinct organs. and to each organ
assign faculty Of the mind, the matter is east.
ly explained, we readily understand how dreams
may arise from the partial seton of the brain,
one faculty of the mind or rather one organ of
the brain being in action while all the others
are in q state Of qucscence. II is not neccssa-
ry that all the organs of the bIain should be at
once in a state Of action or rest. This is never
the case when awake, neither is it 50 when a.
sleep, at which time some arc active some mac
tive, some in enc state and some in another,
their harmonious control over each other is lost,
and their irregular actions give those incongru-
Gus products which constitute Dreaming. ss*

From the Globe,
POLITICAL ABoLITIoNIsM.

The abolitionists have heretofore been
looked upon entirely as a fanatical sect,
aiming only at general emancipation, be-
ginning with emancipation in the District of
Columbia. But this is too narrow view
That sect is now political, aiming at po-
litical power, and allying itself with the
federalists to carry the elections in the
non-slaveholding States. All this is ap-
parent, both in the abolition newspapers,
and in the speeches and doings ofthe lead
ing federalists. Nothing can exceed the
kindness and affection with which the abo.
itionists speak of the federalists, and sas
for these latter, they fulfil tho instruction
which is given TO indulgert husbands TO-

Judge James f. Trottcr, of this CITY.
was elected United States Senator to sue
coed Judge Black However much we
may be opposed to Judge Trotters Van
Burenism, we are ready to say that we

acted right in choosing a man of allowed
talents and practical good sence, and. a.
boye all, gentleman of unimpeachable
moral character. Judge Trotter has long
presided on the bench of the 9th Judicial
District OF this State, and as far as we
know, has done credit to his station. As
a man the Judge was our first choice for
the station he has been elected to. because
we know him; but as politician. we should

wards their gentle spouses; "Be 10 their

blind" This tho tedcralsts realize every
time they speak of the abolitionists g. ara
perfectly contcntcd, and extol the lodcr.
alists to the skies, while covering the re.
publicans with calumny and opprobium.
o. this love of one side, and hatred of the
other, we present the following specimens
from the last Enancipator:-
"Rumor says that a talented vouno
member from Kentucky, Mr.. Mcnifce.
astonnded the convention by burst of
powerful eloquence, in which he deprecated
this separate organization-exposed the
tendency Of the course of certain gentle
men-and reprobated in the most indig
nant manner every thing that looked, how
ever remotely, to disunion. He gave the
meeting to understand distinctly that Ken
lucky would not hear of a dissolution of
this Union, in any event now likely to
happen. From all that learn, amcer-
tain that Mr.. Menifee spoke like true
patriot friend to free discussion-to
the Union-and to the whole country.
Mr.. Menifee is a stakeholder.
"Kentucky and Tennessee, the two
most decisiDc'y ~hig States ofall the slave
holding section, will Indignantly frown
upon the undue excitement and violence,
which certain clique appear so anxious
to produce. The members from those
States will consult with their general COM
mittee, composed of one member from each
slaveholding State; which has been ap-
pointed; but venture to say, they will go
no farther. There arc many members
also from other States, such as Mr.. Pres
ton of South Carolina, Mr.. Wise of Virgin
ia, Colonel Dawson, and others of the
same high character, devoted above all
things to the Union and the Constitution;
and to them we may confidently look to
give such direction to the proceedings of
their associates, as can scarcely be ex-
pccted from difiereut set of persons,
whose chief aim is to combine the South
for political purposes oftheir own,'
