pOstion, he ought to see, in whatever else
tbey disagree, agree wholly in this,-that
he and his crew must be thrown out Of the
Ship of State-that they must have but
one candidate, and whoever is not for him,
i for Mr.. Van Buren, in effect. On this
subject there is no division, for on this, oil
TO a man agree. He hopes then the times
will be better, and that the times will buoy
him up. We tell him, he is not buoyable

him. The wreckers will not take the

more than "the spoils" possessed. The

beaten on his own ground of bargain and
if he attempts to chaffer.--
Again there is no "glory" in him. There
is no "hurrah" in his name, as the hurrah
boy said in the streets. Whatever all
these auxiliary aids may be worth, he has
none of them. He is a DOOMED MAN.
When his epitaph is written from Kinder

what thus:
"IIere lies the man who by cunning, be-
came President ofthe Great Republic, but
who at last became so cunning that he CO.
zened himself. He was the Great Little

NEW ANGEMENT.

The publisher of the Southern Mocha
mic and the editor of the Vicksburg Daily
Sentinel have made arrangements to com
bine the interests of the two papers,
In future, the subscribers to both will be
furnished with the Sentinel. This ar
rangement will, we doubt not, be adyan-
tageous to all parties. We take the fol-
lowing from the Mechanic, of the IL inst.
"The publisher of the SOUTHERN Me
cHANIc has made arrangements with DR..
JAMES HAGAN, Editor of the Vicksburg
Daily Sentinel, for an union of these two
papers. The publication of the Mechanic
will therefore be discontinued after this
day, and subscribers will hereafter be fur
nished with the SENTINEL in its stead
The Weekly Sentinel and Exposition will
be enlarged to the present size of this pa
per, so that our patrons will lose nothing
in quantity, and from the well known abili-
ty of DR.. III. as an editor, we feel justified
in promising material improvement in
the quality of matter to be contained in
the future numbers ofour paper.
We hope our subscribers will approve
of this change. But should there be any
who are dissatisfied, they are at liberty to
discontinue their subscriptions, and if they
have made payment for the paper in ad-
vance, the money so paid will be returned
to them.
The Daily paper will be enlarged, and
otherwise improved, in the hope that by
endeavoring to deserve patronage we
shall take the most efiectual course to
obtain it,"

SPECIE PAYMENT.

AS soon as the banks refused to redeem
their pledges to the people--as soon as
they failed to redeem their notes with
specie, those, and the number was not few,
who were in the possession of specie, held
on to it; in nearly every instance, conse-
quently, shin-plasters became the medium
But as soon as the banks resume, stagnant
metallic circulation will be again active
in proof of this, we give the followin,
from the Baltimore republican:
"The Newburyport Herald states, tina
since the resumption of specie payment
by the banks in that town, their stock O
specie has materially increased instead @
diminishing; the deposits of specie havin,
been very considerable more than the a
mount which they have been called upol
to pay out.
The Salem Essex Register says, tha
the banks in that city have commence,
redeeming their small bills in specie.
The two banks of Kingston, N. Y, be
gan to redeem their bills and other liza
bilities with the precious metals, on tn,

UNION BANK.

Much is expected from this source some
of the plantations in this county have been
valued, and other preparations made; tho
on the whole opposed to banks, we wish
this institution, as it must get a trial, to
get fair one. Unlike any other banking
institution in the state, its interests are
connected with those of the planter
speaking of the Union Bank, the Missis-
sippian says:
''The Directors Of this institution ad-
Journed on yesterday, to meet the Sec
ond Monday in June.
Mr.. GoocH has returned from the
North with the notes, &c. The pros
pect of selling the bonds in the Eastern
cities is favorable. State stocks be-
came better in the market Immediately
after the passage of the bank law by
the N. Y. Legislature.
Col. James c. Wilkins, Judge E. c..
Wilkinson and Mr.. Pinchard, have been
appointed commissioners to negotiate
the sale ofthe State bonds. No furth-
er action of Importance was had by the
board"

cALHouN's LETTER.

In to-days paper, will be found, a letter
written by the Hon. J. c. Calhoun, to
which we would direct the attention Of
our readers; it is fraught with republican
principles, those for which the democratic
party have and are still contending-
expressed in a clear forcible manner, and
will we'll compensate the reader for care
full and attentive perusal. The opinions
of the union Of bank and state, of the mo-
neyed power generally, of monopolies, &c.
are such as we can most cheerfully sub
scribe to.

Cincinnati, Nay 4.
EXPRESS MAIL.

We are gratiGcd to learn from the
Postmaster in this city, that the South
ern Express Mail, between Louisville
and New Orleans, will be continued.
This information is given on the auth
ority of Mr.. Hobbie, Assistant Postmas-
tcr-General, now in this city. The
Express Mail has been discontinued
between this city and Baltimore, and
between this city and Louisville; but
as the steam boat mail from Cincinnati,
intersects the Southern Express mail
at Louisville, and is transmitted with
quite as much celebrity as the Express
formerly carried it, we lose nothing by
the change on the Southern route.
The Southern Express is even more
important to Cincinnati than the one
from the East, and we are therefore
gratified that the branch is permitted
to be continued Uhig.

election of John p. Kennedy, Mr.. Pat

usual therefore, we conclude that the

In speaking of dobate that tNokplace
lately in the Massachusetts Legislature,
the Boston Advocate has the fcllowng,--
"The Conspiracy Of the leading federal
politicians to prevent specie assumptions
which is now their greatest terror, has
been clearly developed in the debate in
the House. Mr.. George Blake let out that
the Banks would not resume till they
changed the administration, and MIR. John
C. Park confessed that the wing party
thrives the best in times of distress and
panic"

whether parents, who are the natural
guardians Of their children, or those en-
ployed By them to educate, and entrusted
with the management and formation Of
their tender minds.
But il has been said that it is too hard
to deprive youth of pleasure by confining
the mind and body to incessant study
Youth is the spring of life, say they, who

FEMALE INFLUENCE.
Extract of a Lecture delivered in the Ma
sonic Hall, Natchez, March oath, before
the Ladies Institute and Lyceum. By
g, V. IL. FORBES, Esq.

Influence, like knowledge, is power. 1t
gives to one the force and the ability OF
many: and, as influence is often invisible
to the superficial spectator, who looks only
at the effects and the proximate agents, Il
becomes the duty of philosophy to trace
all'actions up through the various agen-
cies to the first cause. In doing this, the
student of mind is often astonished to find.
that some of the most illustrious deeds en-
blazoned on the pages of history, though
achieved by the ruder and sterner sex,
where yet the direct results of female in
fluence.
vi the Importance of Female Education
there can be no question; Of the power of
Female Influence not doubt. Should
philosopher unbosom the motives that ac-
tuate favored youth Just coming upon
the stage of life; show that his earlier as
plratlons contemplated the favor of a mo-
ther, sister or some loved one, whose
happiness he supposed either to be con-
nected with, or promoted by his success !;
and should it be discovered that the ardor
OF his spirit was kindled at the shrine of
female virtue and beauty;-that the vision
whether near at hand or more remote, of
female loneliness, beamed in upon the
Loneliness of his midnight study, and SEEM

FROST! FROSTY

On the morning Of yesterday the 25th
inst, we had smart frost; in our cline,
on the tropic border, at this season to see
frost, is something new, indeed.
Old Jack compelled us to remove from
our fre-places, the ornamental boards and
flowers that for some time past occupied
those places; reminding the fire round
which the social circle formed, and round
which it is still found quite comfortable tc
remain, especially evening and morning.

EDUCATION.

We are not excusable for that apathy
and Indifference so generally manifested
to the young around US. Daily they move
and enjoy the present, content and care
less of the future, or of the part they are
destined to act in future in this busy and
bustling world-ignorant alike of duty
and responsibility. This is the result Of
circumstances over which they had and
have no control--for which they are MOI
TO blame. We, like them, were born 10
norant-we know that all we nor know
we had to learn. Is it not the duty of ev
cry one, be his influence ever so small, I'd
exert it? Are we excusabe for not urg
ing the necessity of education, and for MOI
giving it all the aid in our power, be i
much or Ettle-we, who have minds moro
matured; who have experience in the aft
fairs of the world, and know full we'll, how
impossible it is to get through this world
to say nothing of preparing for another
without education, and the great advanR
tage it gives its possessor in all things, in
whatever engaged; that we must all act a
part in the drama of life, and should do it
well, but in order so to do we must first
learn how. With these facts before us is
it not our duty on every proper occasion,
to insist on the necessity of, and the ad-
vantages derivable from good education?
Certainly it is.
Children, who are the hope; who must
be the dependence of the future genera
tlon--who are destined to occupy all the
places of honor and prolific fill those
their parents now occupy, whether in dis
charge of personal or relative duties. How
!. necessary is it then, that they should be
lnstructed-prepared by education to act
well that part, that in the course of human
events, or, dispensation of providence they
may be called TO fill whether as parents
guardians, magistrates or ministers, from
them society will take its character
will be whatever they make it, The con
. situations, institutions, civil and political
human and divine, will be in their hands
how necessary then to cultivate their un.
derstandings, to educate them-tomature
and strengthen their reasoning faculties,
that they may be prepared to discharge
all those various, complicated and indis-
pensable duties that must devolye on them
as members of society.
Whether we consider man as a solitary
or social being, he must be comparative
ly miserable if devoid of proper education
with it an evil conscience only can
make an individual miserable-with it.
unaided by friends of fortune; or rather
with it, friends and fortune can be obtain
ed; one is able, unaided by the one or the
other, to win way to honor and distinc-
'tion, and to inscrbe name on the endur-
ing pages of history, numbered with the
friends of the nation and the benefactors
of mankind.
We therefore hold il to be the duty of
every member ofsocjety to act, and by ev-
