That coalition, for the time being at

" Northern man with Southern principles !"
and the " Southernman with no principles"

derstand, from what we deem sufficient
authority, that Mr.. CALmouN's friends, in
giving their adhesion to the Admlnlstra-
ton, have stipulated, almost in express
terms, that the Administration shall not ia

the Globe is not to thwart the views of
Mr.. CALHOUN. Mr.. CALmouN's influence

AN INTERESTING SERIES OF LECTURES.
series of Lectures to be delivered before the
New York Mercantile Library Association this
winter, will be a subject of prominent interest
Philip Hone, Esq. will deliver the Introductory
on the subject of the literature of the Eliza
bethean age. The Hon. Gabriel Furman is to
lecture on the Antiquities of America, subject
that is beginning to attract general and strong
interest. The mystic remains of people of
whom neither history nor tradition gives any
certain intelligence, naturally claims large
share of our curiosity. Professor Haskell will
lecture on F'The Importance of general diffu-
sion of knowledge in the United States" The
influence of steam navigation is interesting
subject, and will be treated by Mr.. Lanman
A course OIL Anatomy will be given by DIR. Bed
ford. MIR. Sedgwick proposes to lecture on the
memorable reign of Louis XIV. The Antiqui-
ties of Mexico, the changes which time has
wrought in her conquerers, and her present con-
dition, are to be considered by MIR. McCracken.
He will also lecture upon the influence of Com
rnerce upon Character. MIR. Silliman is to lee
ture on the Commerce of the Ancients. Mr..
Duer will lecture ON the State Debts of the u.
States. Mr.. Patterson's historical lectures will
embrace most interesting period-insluding the
celebrated actors in real life, Henry VIII. Fran
els /. Charles V. Solyman, Ferdinand and Isa-
bella, Cardinal Woolsey, the admirable erich
ton, Martin Luther, sc. Sc A notice of our
Aborigines will be given by Prescott Hall, Esq.
Mr.. Tucker will lecture on the Merchants of
the time of Elizabeth Judge Inglis and Hig-
be, and several others are engaged fer lectures.
In the above enumeration of subjects and lee
turers, it will be seen that the winter course Of
the New York Mercantile Library Association
will be one of great interest and Importance
In our own city, the proposed lectures of the
Mercantile Library Association, from the known
talents and learning of the lecturers, will, we
doubt not, be highly interesting and useful. 1t
is to be hoped that such of our citizens as feel
an interest in the advancement of knowledge
amongst us, will not fail to encourage the
praise-worthy exertious of this institution. The
mercantile classes, particularly, should foster
and aid the Library Association. What such
an institution may become, when properly sup
ported, is shown in the success of the Associa-
ton in New York

was the tyrant's plea, and he hoped the day
was fer distant in this country, when a
magistrate should be excused under that plea
for doing any act affecting the right Of citizens
which was not sanctioned by law; he said also
he disapproved OF magistrates assuming the
office and practice of project ofpolice in des-
potic countries, and that in his opinion they
should confne themselves 10 their appropriate
duties. He did not intend to discuss all the
points of law raised by the Recorder, but re-
commended the jury to consult the district at
torney, who was their legal adviser, as to any
matter which might come before them; they
were entitled TO call upon him for his opinion,
and the authorities upon which it was founded
Judge Lynch remarked that he should consi-
der it indicate to make any observation on the
subject of politics to body of intelligent men,
such as that jury was composed ST, who were
acting under the solemnity Of an oath; that the
Recorder might be considered as answering for
himself in the remarks he had made on that
head, but that, making the allowance for the
infrrnity of our nature, he hoped and trusted
ttat he Judge LYNCH would not be influenced
while he hello seat on that bench by any con-
siderations of that nature.
