NoN-CoMMITTAL.-Ephria H Foster, is whig candidate before the legislature of Tennessee for the Senate ofthe United States. A few days ago, the democratic members of the Upper House of that state addressed him a very respectful communication, asking his opinion on certain measures before the extra session of Congress. Many of those measures, it is well known, new, and as the whigs remain long in any particular opinion, it was thought probable that, MT. Foster might have changed with the times Hence the curiosity to know what Mr. Fosters opinions are. That gentleman, however, refused to answer, and instead, published letter in reply to the members of the Senate, which consider ing the occasion, and the men whom he addressed, is as insolent an episte as can well be imagined.
 As counter-blast to this letter, the democratic members publish reply, from which we select the following pertinent queries. which seem to indicate that Mir Foster, like of the great exemplars of his party, anxious to get his office before he com mits himself to any opinions.
 .sThe people will not be inclined to believe, that Mir. Foster has formed no opinion upon the public questions enumerated in ette of the 10th instant Does he fear what hls opinions are in regard to these measures! Is he unwilling to take ground with the federal majority in the late extra session of Congress in reference to the measures enumeratedi Is he afraid that if he undertakes to sustain these measures he will be supported in such course by large portion of those who have hitherto been ofhis own party in this State1 Does he desire, by con- cealing his opinions, and refusing to make them known to secure an election the Senate, and when safely seated in that body, to take part with the ied eral party in supporting the measures referred to2 Can he desire to practice such fraud upon the State, the legislature and the peops7 That such IS his purpose, his refusal 10 answer, seems too plainly to indicate; and no other inference, conceive. can be drawn from his course either by the undersigned or the public" .,..st-i ,;..s

ALABAMA SYEoD.-The Synod of the Presby- terian Church of Alabama, assembled on the Fist ult, at Tuscaloosa, and adjourned on the 25th. On account of the absence of the Rev. Mir. Wtherspoon, the Rev. R. s. Gladney was chosen moderator, and the Rev. J. N. Carathers and K. H. Chapman, clerks. The Rev. Robert Nall, of Marion, was elected stated clerk. We have no account of the proceedings of this ecclesiastical body. From the Tuscaloosa Monitor, we extract the following com plimen. to the delegate from this city.
 "These we took pleasure in, and have seldom heard more interesting discourses from any pulpit, particularly those by the Rev. William T. Hamilton, pastor of the Government street Church, Mobile. This gentleman occupies high rank in the ministry, and his masterly and eloquent efforts here In the cause of souls, excited only admiration, but what
 is still better, the serious inquiry into the lemn truths he announced. We did not hear his ser- mon in the Methodist Church on Sabbath, having gone to another, where he was expected to preach; but we are informed it was among the most eloquent ever delivered in this city, At seven o'clock we
 listened his last discourse, in which his appeal to the young reached many throbbing heart.
 ''There were other clergymen of the Synod who preached excellent sermons, and gave very genera pleasure. We ought not, perhaps in justice to hav0 singled out any superior to the rest; but the wide reputation of Mir. Hamilton, and the fact that his mind ranged in sphere beyond the capabli,y of most men, in any pursuit, seemed to justify dspar ture in his case, which hope will be received by all in kindness, in such spirit we have refereed to him."

THE Farmer.-lt does ones heart good
to see a merry round farmer. Soindepen-
dent and yet so free from vani,ies and
pride. Sorich aud so industrious; so pa
tient and perseveripg in his calling, and yer
so kind, social, and ohlising. There are
thousand noble traits about him which light.
up his character. He is generally hospita-
bile: eat aud drink with him, and he wont
sci mark on you, and sweat il ou of you
with a double compound interest at ano,t.
er tilne-you are welcome. He will do
you kindness without expecting returN
by way Of compensation; it is not so wnh
every body. He is generally more honest
and sincere-less disposed to deal in low
and underhanded cunning than many I
could name. He gives to society its best
suppon-he is the ediice of governments
and The lord ofnalure. Look at him ir
homespun gray and black, gentlemen;
laugh. you will-hut, believe me, he can
laugh back ifhe peases.
