CANADA AFFAIRS,
From the Buffalo Commercial, Feb. s

rom tle buffalo commercial, FeD, D.
We understand that General Scott has
received by express, from Governor Ma
son and Gen. Brad V, at Detroit, official
dispatches dated the I'd instant, stating in
general terms that the tranquility of this
frontier has been entirely restored, & that
there is no necessity for calling out a mi
litia force, it being thought that three COM
panies of regulars sent up by the Robert
Fulton, from this place, which arrived on
the 9th ult., will be amply sufficient to
secure that tranquility for the future.
From THE WEsr.-As we have all
along suspected, there is more trouble
brewing by the Canada Patriots. The
Western mail yesterday brought intelli-
gence that the scattered Navy Islanders
were concentrating near Detroit, where
several hundreds-as was supposed, for
their numbers or precise whereabouts ap-
pear not to have been clearly understood,
were collected on the 10 b inst. and were
supposed to be awaiting the appearance OF
a commander-in,chief. Duneombe and
Sutherland were among them, but stillthe
master-spirit appeared to be wanting.

The Correspondent Of the New York
Journal of: Commerce says,
Mr.. Deberry, from the Committee on
Agriculture, reported bill to encourage
the culture of Tropical Plants in the Uni
ted States. / presume that the Bill has
reference tothe project of DR.. Berrlne,
late Consul at Campeachy. to introduce in
the United States the culture of certain
plants, rs substitutes for Cotton, Flax, and
Silk. which can be produced on COM
paratively sterile soil. and with but little
manual labor. Dr. Perrine's views have
attracted much attention here, but not more
than they deserve. II. IS he says, and Of
fers to prove, that he can introduce peren-
NAL and productive plants, which will sup
plant cotton, as. wei as fax and silk. and
which, at the same. time. will dispense
with slave labor, he will become one OF
the greatest benefactors of his country.

The REFoRMAToRY POWER OF REv1-
vALs-It is well said that our only hope
for our country is in the prevalence Of
deep and genuine revivals. Let US be-
ware however, that we do not pervert this
fact. 1t by no means proves that the
concerted action Of the friends Of religion
ought not to bear directly on the morals OIL
community.-N. YEuon
The last sentiment expressed in the fore,
going is too much kept out of sight. Thai
religion which fails to make men homes
should be suspected. Or rather, whatever
a mans pretensions to piety may be, if h.,
daily conduct be a practical violation Of the
great law of love, the plainest requirement.
Of equity, the first principles of sound NOR.
ality-"this mans religion is vain" "I
q man say, love God, and hateth his broth

liberty and bravery; what is she? A
mere picture of what she was. The
once beautiful plans Of Attica, and
fruitful wales Thessaly, so replete with
classic Renaissance, and full of inter
est to the votary OF science, have been
laid waste by war, and drenched with
blood. Athens celebrated for Socra-
ties, a Plato, and others, who, had thew
been blessed with the light of revela-
ton as we, would have been as beacons
to their fellow men, to light up their
pathway through dark and degene-
rate world, and direct them in the on
~ true road tohappiness and bliss; men,
before the splendor of whose talents
and genius, many in the present time,
possessed Of the mtghtest intellect.
would sink into insignifcance. Athens,
where once Demosthenes, by the
power of his eloquence, swayed whole
assemblies, enraptured thousands, fired
their souls to deeds of heroism and
patriotic revenge, and caused King
Philip to tremble on his throne-what
is she? A heap of ruins, Wondering
into dust.
We could here enumerate the wreck
of once powerful empires and king
doms; the ruins Of once populous and
flourishing cities, celebrated in history,
and sung of in sweet and noble strains
by ancient balds-but may not this
suffice? Enough has already been
said to show that there is an all perva-
ding power which we call CHANGE,
and which, on its onward march, can
not impede Gettysburg Star.

AN IMPORTANT DECLARATION.

Sir Walter Scott said seriously, in his
autobiography, "through every part
ofmy literary career l have felt pinch
ed and hampered by my own ignor-
ance.' What world Of thought in
those few lines, and how important do
they seem when we learn that he who
occupies the noblest niche in the tenn
pie of Fame, consecrated by thcachieve-
ments of an intellect unequalled in
splendor, has place an acknowledge
ment of regret on record, that he was
hampered by ignorance. When the
student tires Of his task, let him re-
member what the great author regret
ted-and while he feels that although
he may never match the eagle flight
of the Wizard Of the North, he can
learn lesson of humility as to the ex-
tent OF his knowledge, and receive an
impulse to persevcre.
