MISPLACED ENTHUSIASM.

Mrs. Ellis, in her admirable work,
"The Daughters OF England" touches
subject that has we believe, escaped
the notice of our own country women, TO
whose intelligent minds their sex are in.
debted for many volumes Of moral and
religious instruction. 1t will be found
in passage from her book, quoted below,
and may be commended, at this present
moment particularly, to that innuInerable
host of women, married and single, who
have literally gone mad in these latter
days, after certain ear fascinating and
popular preachers.-B Sun.
cannot leave the subject Of the gen.
eral behaviour Of woman to the other sex,
writes Mr.. Ellis, without adverting to a
popular tendency amongst the young and
inexperienced, 10 attach undue impor-
lance to the casual notice Of distinguished
men such as popular speakers, eloquent
ministers of religion, or any who hold
conspicuous situations in society. The
most Objectionable feature which this
tendency assumes, is an exiravagant and
enthusiastic at.achme 10 ministers Of
religion.
| am aware that there is much in the
character and Office OF faithful minister,
Justly calculated to call forth the respect
full admiration of both old and young !;
that there is also much IN his pastoral
care of the individual members Of his
flock equally calculated to awaken feel.
ngs of strong attachment and when
such feelings are tempered with reverence,
and kept under The proper restraint of
prudence aud good taste, it is unqucston-
ably right that they should be cherished.
My remarks can have no reference to
women, whose conduct is thus regulated !;
but there are others, chiefly of enthusiastic
temperament, who, under the impression
that it is right to love and admire TO the
utmost of their power, whoever is worthy
of~dmratlon, give way TO style OF ex-
preston, when speaking of their iavorte
minister and mode of behavior towards
them, which is not only peculiarly adapted
to expose them, as religious professors,
to the rldicule Of the world, but which,
of itself, too pluinly betrays their want
Of reverence and right feeling on the sub.
ject Of religion in general.

The Secretary of the Treasury has ad

lied by the act which has just passed the
two Houses of Congress, and been aPpro-
ed of by the President. The amount ofths
loan now advertised for is three millions
and half or any part Of this amount, in
sums OF FIVE thousand dollars. The tlmo
for making proposals is the FIRST of May.
The story of the arrival Of foreign a
gent here, to take the whole loan for
Hope q Co., of Amsterdam, gains no
credence whatever. Ii is understood.
however, that the great part Of the loan
authorized, will be negotiated abroad on
better terms than it can be at home. The
amount Of the loan now advertised for, is
to meet present Deficiencies or wants in
the Treasury Department, and persons
subscribing are permitted to make pay.

stalments, to be paid the 18Th, LIST June

In the course Of his speech on our Tor
eign relations, when ]. @. Adams was re-
plying to the speech of Wise touching
Mexico and Texas, he thus raSped the
gentleman from Virginia.
The gentleman in his dreams, (shall /
call theml) told US that President Houston
was TO plant this same lone star of Texas
on the walls Of the city oil Mexico, and
that, if President Houston did not do it,
the gentleman himself would. Loud
laughter. And he means, in this heroic
enterprise, to lead on the brave spirits of
| thousands from the great valley Of the
Mississippi, inspirl,ed by the hope of rob.
bing churches and priests! So it is to be
religious as well as a civil expedition -
sort of crusade, in which the gentleman
from Virginia is likely far to transcend
the exploits of Tameriane and Ghengis
Khan. The gentleman is soon TO plant
the lone star of Texas and slavery on the
walls of Mexico and then what is to be-
come Of the liberties Of these U. States
a laugh. Is il conformable to the his
tory OF the world that the leader OF such

one tenth the extent of those which the
gentleman would achieve, should remain
content with the station of an humble and
private citizen7 No. No. The expert
ence of all mankind has given US warn
ing that if that is to be the course OF our
public affairs, and such are to be the bril-
liant fortunes of the gentleman from Vir
gina, our liberties will stand as little
chance in after times as those Of the nine
millions of the people Of Mexico alter he
shall have conquered them.
But am inclined to consider all this
rather as approaching 10 what is some
times called rodomontade, than thing IN
the serious contemplation ofthe gentleman
from Virginia: and look forward to the
time when, in the records Of history, the
gentleman's name shall be placed side by
side. not with the names Of Ghengls Khan
or Tamerlane, but with that of still
more glorious couqueror by the name Of
Thomas THUMB. Roars Of laughter,
loud and long.

That turn ouI thoughts, we scarce know why
To realms more bright above!

To chant their sylvan song,
