would rebound more to the credit Of this gene
rous Governor TO show his solictude for his
countrymen first, and when all their wants and
necessities in regard 10 education are gratifed,
then let his redundant, inexhaustble liberaity, be
brought to bear upon foreigners. But the true
motive of all this affected kindness is concealed,
only however by reticular veil, which requires
but little discernnent to see through. The fact
is, the Dutch, of all foreigners perhaps in Ohio,
can exert the strongest voice at the elections, and
this is the secret of his recommendation in heir
behalf; but it is false policy in the end, he will
render himself odous in The estimation Of every

So strict an eye is kept over the movements of
foreigners in France, that an American, having

he was. where he lodged and where he had taken

1t is stated that in the legislature Of North Ca
rolina the resolutions in disapprobation Of the
efforts in Congress to obtain for those States in
which the public lands lie. undue and almost ex-
elusive benefits by graduating. or in other words,
by reducing the price of said lands, have passed
both branches of that body. ...,. T.
We say to the Legislatures OF all the old States,
go and do likewise.
These liberal and ungenerous attempts, as we
conceive them to be, to deprive one portion Of
the confederacy from equitable share Of the pub
lie domain in which all are concerned by COM
munily ofinterest, we hope will never succeed,
and we are confident that, if the people of the
United States were generally informed on this
subject, these attempts would meet with almost
universal condemnation and opposition.
But it appears to US, that we, as people, are
becoming restless, perhaps reckless, and either
from the desire of popularity, from principle OF
avarice, or from destuton of principle, or
from all these combined, that the very thing
which is calculated to be blessing to the coun.
try, is likely to be converted into curse. This
seems to be the case with every thing worth .

OJ-What is beauty without talent? 1t is like one OF
the apples which Milton speaks of growing by the
Dead Sea shore-tar TO look upon, but ashes within!
The tree which bears this apple, is probably the
same as that called ''Sodomite," in letter lately
published bv us, and said TO be the cause Of the
the West. H.
If we remember we'll, the writer Of that letter
describes this fruit as being fair externally, but
when ripe, as consisting Of nothing but powder in
ternally. Analogous to the apple of Eden, which
although fair to look upon, contained the elements
of moral death, this, equally fatal and insi,lious
fruit allures the irrational animal and imbues its
milk with the element Of physical death.

| The Madisonian in short review of"Sketches
by Boz" says Of "a Christmas Dinner 81, in
culcates 100 much drinking."
We coincide with the Madisonan in opinion,
and we would add-it inculcates too much eating
also the whole scene carries with it the idea of a
complete reuei at the Bacchanalian shrine, instead
of an offering the family altar of hearty graft
tude, which would comport better with the occa-
sion. The Ieviy which characterizes the festiyi-
ty, might be expected from the "children," but
"grand-papa" and ''grand-mamma, are made to
drop all the dignity of age, and to act the most
conspicuous part in this peurile drama.
The writer concludes his description of this
Bacchanalo carnival thus:
"And thus the evening passes, in strain of
rational goodwill and cheeriuIpcss, doing more
to awaken the sympathies Of every member of the
party in behalf Of his neghbor, and to perpetu-
ate their good feeling during the ensuing year,
than all the homilies that have ever been written,
by all the divines that have ever lived"
The sentiment expressed in this quotation is as
Objectionable as its tone is immoral. 1t is dis
paraging to class of men whose great business
in life is the moral Improvement of their fellow
men. 1t is virtual rejection of those principles
which lie at the foundation Of morals, good order,
and social happiness: whether intended or not
As to ''half-formed ice,'' we cannot for our
life form an idea. Ice is frozen water: we have a
practical knowledge of both; but how to get the
notion of something betaceen the two, that is
neither water nor ice, is above our imagination,
and we are just as ignorant of what is meant by
"Hghtea brandy y"-the thing that was poured into
the minced-pies-the astonishing feat that pro-
duced among the young folks such kicking and
clapping and shouting.
We do not desire to be hard to please in these
matters, but we think there is as little to COM
pensate FOR the time spent in reading "A Christ

our time to that amount.

We have not had the pleasure, or rather the
dis-pIeasure of reading Governor Shannon's
(of Ohio) Inaugural Address, but under this head
we find comment in the Cincinnati Whig
from which take the following s.He
recommends that the German children be edat-
Gated in the common schools in the German lam
gAage. This is clearly wrong, and is evidently
demagogical, and put forth for elec,ioneering pur
poses. The first object in reference to the Ger
mans certainly should be to teach them the Eng
ish language, that they may fully and accurately
understand our laws and institutions"
1t is matter Of graduation and lingering hope to

based and is actuaed generally by motives which
look alone to popularity and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,

Of approaching danger, who will not criminally
suffer the enemy to usurp our ortresses under the
delusive pretence of alliances of amity which
must be broken. 10 do so would be to act from
present and personal considerations regardless of
what is due both to the present generation and 10
posterity.
II the German children are to be educated in
their national language. will not dsinteres,ed i'm
parality and equal justice recommend that the
same favor be extended to the French, the Scotch,
the Italian, the Portuguese, the Spanish the Pole,
the Wech, and to all emigrants Of every tongue
and from every nation under Heaven, who are, or
may come, among us? The people Of Ohio must
be ignorant indeed, tamely to submit to such
thing; and if they would thus agree to sink their
nationality, aud merge into every thing foreign,
it goes to prove that it is, for all political purpo-
ses, good policy to keep them ignorant. If they
do not promptly and Indignantly reject that pro-
iect they must be blind to their best interests and
wholly destitute Of selfrespect and national mag
nanin.ity. But does the Governor OF Ohio also
recommend that native children be instructed in
foreign languages? Ii not, the American children
will suffer the disadvantage Of not being put on an
equal footing with the alien: the latter will neces-
sarily perhaps learn something of our language,
and to that extent be above the American who
knows no other than his vernacuar tongue. This
however is of little importance.
Is it designed that these aliens are to live
distinct and separate community, to clan together,
to cherish and keep alive national habits, Gus
toms, prcjudces and principles, with all Of evil
that may be in them! If so, Governor Shannon's
plan is the very best that can be adopted. But if
it be designed desired that the two castes shall
be united, associated, and that all discrimination
be swallowed up in the great American family,
the alien losing his identy such then ii is the
very worst. But we would inquire---are there

Hon. John VI. Maury.

Nh. EDITOR Il feel much gratihed 10 find
that the Hon. John VI. Maury has consented TO
become a candidate for the office of ChanceI-
lor of the State of Mississippi. The Office OF
Chancellor is one of the highest, most import
ant and responsible within the gift of the peo-
pie of Mississippi. In making a selection of
individual to fill it, they should therefore
exercise the utmost circumspection. In order
fill the office with credit to himself, and hon
or and usefulness to the public, the incumbent
should possess mind naturally clear, discri-
minating. and vigorous, well stored with gene
raj information. He should be well acquaint-
ed with the principles of law, theoretically,
and familiar with the practice in the several
courts of this State; and this qualification can
be acquired only by long practice and expert
ence. To these should be added a high moral
characier-purity of purpose should ever cha
iaes-0-t-- him who fills such Office.
Those who know Judge rf~~rv are veil
aware. that in all these requisite qualifications
he has perhaps no superior in this State He
commenced the practice of law in this State
about eighteen years ago; and during con-
siderable portion of the last ten years he has
been on the Bench, discharging the important
judicial services required of him with the high
est credit to himself and satisfaction to the
people As to his person all the discerning
who look upon him must be at once convinced
that nature has formed him to occupy distin-
guished place in the estimation of his fellow
men, His unbending integrity, his fearless
pursuit OF what he conceives TO be right. his
clear discriminating mind and sound Judgment.
and his long experience on the Bench. pre-
