From the North American Review.
Progress of Society.

We know not more glorious thought, and we
believe it to be true-one that should move, ami
mate, and inspire, while it awes and controls US
than this that free principles of government
liberty of opinion and action upon our rights and
duties, are but part wider extension of that
stupendous, yet beautiful plan, which originated
in Judea on the birthday of our Saviour. We
know not more glorious thought and we believe
it to be true-than that Christianity and republi-
can institutions, as far as they are based upon the
same foundation Of universal liberty and personal
responsibility as far as the design Of both is to ell
evate man by giving him his free course, are to
walk hand in hand through the earth, brethren OF
the same family, children of the same Father
Christianity we know, the elder and strong
er-the nober and more exalted brother,-and it
was meet therefore, that it should lead the van as
it did in the march of decentralization that refor-
nation began at time when its younger and
weaker brother, political freedom, would have
been overwhelmed and crushed. The battle to be
fought was tremendous, and it was fit that some
thing more than human should come forth to meet
its brunt. And Christianity came forth to meet it.
1t came forth to battle with mems prejudices and
passions, to dspel the msts to scatter the rub
Dish, and to teach them-what has proved their
hardest Observation-Disclosures. And when it had
opened way, and when all things were ready,
it called to its younger brother to come out to its
aid. And that brother has gone forth The time
we say has come, and these two pioneers of liber-
ty have joined their hands-friends compeers,
and fellow-abo they are going onward,
each encouraging and supporting the other, and
both enlightening and emancipating the world.

SUICIDE OF one OF THE Pirates OF THE
BRAGANzA.-Ioseph Van Bruggeu, one Of
the two pirates who were on Wednesday
last convicted in this city Of the murder
of Captain Turely, of the Braganzo, was
found dead in his cell this morning. having
hung himself during the night. In order
to effect his purpose, he tore the blanket
of his bed into stripes and wovc them to-
gether into rope, and then took one of
the wooden stats of his bedslead, and made
of 1t what seamen call n toggle, or in other
words, he tied the rope across the centre
Of The Stat, and slipped it through the iron
grating of his cell, and then pulled in the
rope, 81 that the stat rested across the out
side Of the bars, and thus formed beam
from which to suspend himself. He then
raised himself from the ground, fastened
the rope round his neck. and launched
himself into eternity. Besides the slnt
from which he was found hanging, there
was also another Stat found at the grating
with another rope attached to it, which
had evidently broken, from which it would
appear that the unfortunate wretch had
made one unsuccessful attempt to destroy
himself, and only succeeded in the second.

THE LEGISLATURE

dnons and laboriOus sessions held for many
years. The amount of public business
transacted has been immense; and. a. usu-
al, large number Of public and local bills
will be left on the general ordera Enacted
upon In State so extensive IN territory
as this, and with interests so vast and d
versfied, it cannot be expected that the
necessary legislation can be disposed of in
few weeks as it formerly was. As our
population, wealth and resources increase.
the local wants OF the people create a vast
and increasing thunder Of applca'ions for
the action of the Legislature. An unusu-
al number Of this description have been
pressed through during the present session,
and many of them will remain in an untin.
'shed condition for the action Of subsequen,
legislatures.
Nearly all the important bills of the ses
sion of general and public interest, have
passed the House of Assembly and will be
come laws, unless The maiori,y in the
Senate fail to discharge their duty. The
internal Improvement bls-or at least
some Of the most important of lhem-havc

VIRGINIA ELECTION.

We never saw the Richmond Enquirer
so fierce, so much alive, so jealous and an
imated, as that paper now is on the ap
preaching election. Old Virginia and old
Vrgnians arc forgotten, showed aside and
sacrificed; the Old Dominion sinRs-its
pride, patriotism, influence, long services,
proud position; the only cry Of the Rich
mond Enquirer is, Save Mr.. Van Buren,"
The magnitude Of the contest to the party
may be imagined from this fearful and
tromuous zeal. Nous oerrons. We can
not tell who will win the day, but the pride
Of Virginia is up, and much is to be hoped
for. The Portsmouth Republican says:
The General Prospect, In the districts
Of Virginia last represented by Me ssts.
Wise, Mercer, Tallaierro, Robertson, Hun
ter and Mallory, (Whlgs,) there wild be no
political change at the election in .hay. In
the district represented by Mr. Hopkins,

elected with no dlflicuty-so also in the
Franklin district, where Stewart ". B. is
opposed by Goggin az where every coun.
ty but one is Wing. In Abemarle district
the contest is between Garland and Cor

feated by the influence Of the Rlvcs party.

the election Of the latter.
In Augusta, &c. Moore ,Whig) will
beat Craig(V Z. by handsome majority.
The loss of the Vanues in Botetourt
throws Craig into the voca,ive. Messrs.
Bierne, Coles, Rives. Dromgooc, Sleenrod
and Johnson all have strong opposition, and
are in imminent danger. The Shenandoah
and Chesterfield districts alone are wIthou,
q contest. Here Van Burcnsm lords it
nnmoles'ed. In the Prince Edward district
Hill tWhig)is running handsomely agains,
Wilson lsub-lreasury Whig.)
On a review Of the field. it is upparcn,
that the Wings will elect eleven members
securing majority. and the prospect is
fair for elecliDg fourteen.
Whatever may be The vote Of Tennessee
and Indiana. that of Virginia will preserve
Wing majority in the House of Repre-
eentatives.
