cooPER's NAVAL HISTORY.

Honorable as this work Is 10 the author, and to
the country, il is still mol without much wreiched
rhetoric.
We defy the aeu,est critic to understand on the
first reading, the following brief sentence, which
occurs In the introduction 1t Is so painfully nper-
spicuous
"The man who, refusing to adopt remedies that
he believes unsuited 10 his constitution, Is discreet,
when he carries his system far TO forget 10 look
for others TO supply their places becomes careless
and culpable."
The following brief paragraph in the description
Of the burning Of the Philadelphia in the harbor of
Tripoli, contains no less than fee desperate viola
tions of English grammar, 10 wit
"Mr Decatur, with Messrs. lizard and Rowe and
Is men, tcere TO keep possession of The upper deck
Mr.. Lawrence, with Messrs. Laws and McDonough
and 10 men, icere 10 repair to the berth-deck Mr..
Blinbridge with Mr.. Davis and 10 men, lcere 10 go
into the wardroom and steerage. Mr.. Morris, with
eight men, foere 10 go into the cockpit. Mr. Thorn,
with the gunner surgeon, and Is men, tcere 70 look
after the ketch."
ADAM Burr, and other Men Of Character. By
Douglass Jerrold. . vols. Philadelphia: Lea g.
Blanchard Washington: F. Taylor.
This book Is full Of fun and the most laughable
drollery. We defy any body TO read 1t without
ordinations the most irresistible. We recolIect
reading The story Of job Pippins, or the Man who
couldn't help H." some two three years ago. when
It first appeared in one Of the foreign magazines,
and we had not forgotten poor Job-he made an in
delible impression, He couldn't help H." To this
amusing character Jerrold has added, "lhe Man
without a Shirt" the Man Of many Thanks, !"
"the Man who Felt his Way, "the Man OF Wax"
"the Man Of many Hopes" and other men Of cha
racter set forth in the lveiest coors by one Of the
most graphic pens OF the day.

RELIGION AND POLITICS.

At meeting held in London, May 4, Mr..
Edward Dalton made the following remarks,
which are worthy Of high commentator
1--WE are not among the numher Of those
who consider that religion has nothing to do
with politics, and who would plant the legis-
la,ure and the government Of the country on
the ground of passive infdelity neither
can we subscribe to the notions Of certain
political economists and amateurs of statis-
tics who calculate a nations greatness and
prosperity by the amount of the national re-
venue, the prosperity Of her agrculiurallsis,
and the Opulence Of her merchants. These
may be the natural fruits of nations great
ness, but they are certainly not the elements
Of that greatness; they may be produced by
it, and yet exist long after the tree that bore
them is sapless and withered. We look to
the national character for the elements Of
nations greatness, and we confidently believe
that all tends to enervate that character dete-
riorates, and that all that elevates sublimes,
the national existence And if we turn 10
Scripture, what do we find That prolific
harvests, an overlooking exchequer, success
| full commercial enterprises--no! but that
righteousness exaltelh a nation. And il we
tuln to history, every page furnishes an ire
sistible a,testalion to the truth Of the asser-
ton. This, then, is the great fundamental
| doctrine on which the Protestant Association,
so far as she is connected with politics, is
based-that righteousness exalteth nation,
but that sin is reproach to any people. We
consequently bring every political measure to
the unerring test Of the scripture Of truth, Tor
we feel assured that, nationally as well as in
dividually, the blessing Of the Lord it maketh
rich and that exactly in proportion as we ma
,ionally acknowledge God, sanctily his Sab,
baths, take his word as the national standard
Of faith and instruct, the people in The prlncl-
pies Of that blessed book, will the country
assuredly prosper and be exalted above intldeI
nations. We are not to be deferred then from
our course by the senseless defamation
our antagonists we tell them that the sane
rifying influences Of the gospel upon the hear
Of man furnish an unfailing rectifying allen
bic, through which may pass and be purified
of their dross even the irritating subjects
political contention.

marks, delivered in his usual happy and eloquent
style, accepted the nomination. and returned his
thanks to the Convention for the honor which the

Upon the arrival of the Baltimore delegation in

Pitts to inform him Of his nomination. performed

In the contest for the Presidency, the Messenger
will not enter the list except SO far as to approve or

TENNEssEE AGAIN.

The cheering accounts we gave in our last
paper of the prospects Of the opposition in
this State, excited the Cockney wit Of the
Globe and its organic penchant for the aboli-
lion Of truth. II tells us, in a style which
Boz might envy, what an English horse
chaunter is, and then adds:
The Baltimore Patriot affords short specimen of
Wing chaunler in the following extract
n'7sanessee Extract Of letter from gentleman
of great responsibility at Gainsboro, Tennessee,
May 24ih.

Congress takes place in August next. feel conf
deut the Wing candidate for Governor will be elect
ed by majority OF Is or 10000 votes, and there Is
strong probability that the entire delegation 10 Con-
gress will be Of the same politics. You may rest
assured let other States do as they may, Tennessee
Is right"
This is certainly gratifying intelligence for
the Opposition, and is con6rma,ory Of our
own statement, though not SO particular. By
way Of breaking the effect Of the news We
published, the Globe honors us with the fol-
lowing overwhelming jeu desprit:
"The simpleton who conducts Mr.. RlvEs organ
In this CITY, draws this very chaunt out in editorial
article, and makes Il his own!l!
We cheerfully confess to the simpleton !
but the latter part Of the clause happens to be-!
utterly false. Can the Globe write three
consecutive lines without falsehood The
letter from which our intelligence was de-
rived, was written from Nashville, and by one
Of the highest authorities in such matters.
| The other letter, which we did not see, until
after our own was in type, was written from
| Gainesboro, which is in another Congression-
al district, and rs miles from Nashville! The
latter is in Davidson county, and the other in
Jackson. This fact increases the value and
certainty Of the testimony. Two gentlemen
Of intelligence and great responsibility write
from two different and distant points in Ten
nessee, and the statements so nearly cores
pond that the Globe believes them the same.
The inference is, that they are both wrong or
both right Truth is every where the same.
We believe both letters told the truth, and that
both are therefore right, and the Globe, when
the smoke Of the battle has cleared away,
will discover who are the greatest simple
TONS" its own deluded partizans, or the VIC
torious Opposition.

How is the Richmond Enquirer to be be-
lieyed! In one article il announces that
Rives' friends cannot elect him Senator, and
in another, that those same friends are about
to elect him Governor If they cannot elect
him to one Office, how can they elect him to
the other?
The Globe and the Enquirer have made
themselves eminently ridiculous in their futile
attempts to make figures lie. Their simple
ton echoes at the North and elsewhere, when
they get the truth, will be under great obliga-
tons for the cruel imposture to which they
have been subjected.
