At New Orleans on the Odd inst, the
excitement growing out of the recent dis
,urbance in that city had not entirely
subsidized, in consequence of the endeavors
of some Of the malcontents to excite the
populace to another outbreak. Placards
had been posted up, calling on the clil-
Gems to assemble in the public square with
arms in their hands, but as the police and
military, both militia and U. S. Regulars,
were ready to arrest all who assembled
in compliance with the call, no meeting
took place. =,
The notes of the first and second Mu-
inequalities passed readily at par, as ar
engagements had been made for their
prompt redemption. Those OF the third
Municipality, however, could not be pass
ed at all, and some OF the discontented a
dopted novel plan of coerclng the au-
thori;ies into redemption. A large por'
ton of those who supply the markets IN
that district refused to attend themselves
or permit others to do so. Consequently
the markets were bare, both ofmeats and
vegetables, and the people returned home
with empty baskets. The police, how
ever, was well organized and no difficulty
whatever was apprehended.

ApMoNIIIoN TO WIVES.

The alluring and even course Of right
acts, with silent yet resistless force, leads
husband, all unknowing that he is led,
to the only peace which the world can
give--domestc felicity. "Love betters
what is bes.," and let his love be bought,
not with weak and wanton compliance
with bis wishes, bu, with the obdurate love
Of duty. Let the wife in Der pursuits dis.
play that fifmness and good sense-lhai
vigor in the prosecution Of business, and
presence OF mind in an unlocked for crisis
that men are disposed SO little to give
her credit for. Let her diffuse light into
every department, allow nothing to flag
and by proving that she is capable Of high
er efforts, by the arrangement and econo-
my Of her establishment, she will, event.
ually, have no cause to complain that she
is excluded from her husbands more Sc.
rious thoughts and graver BURDENS
Whatever be her station, let her meet
every thing with pleasure, and even pain
with cheerlulness and openness Of temper.
Let her society be the best her husband
can get; let him find her, even in her
room alone, surrounded by more comfort
more refinement-the fire brighter
the hearth cleaner-the mind merrier---
than any has to offer him. Such wo
man has rarely to complain that her hus.
band has neglected her.

The Tariff cannot be much longer
made party question, and We rejoice
that the fact is so. The great interests
of the country will always suffer while
questions Of such vital magnitude and ALL
pervading Importance are liable to be Sc
riously affected by the fuctuating fate OF
political parties. AT Loco Foco Con.
vention, for example, recently held in
Washington county, Pa. it was resolved
'rhat in the depressed state Of the curren-
cy we look TO tine tariff, as measure
calculated to afford relief, in protecting
the industry, enterprise and skill Of our
citizens, against pauper labor and foreign
capital" And for the purpose Of render
ing the Wing party odious there, they
denounced them as "being passive on tbs
subject Of tariff for the protection OF the
home industry Of the country" They
then nominated Mr.. Patterson as candi
date for Congress, to supply the vacancy
in that District, occasioned by the deatf
of Mr.. Lawrence, and hoisted the flag o
"PATTERsoN AND A TARIFF! But il die
not take. Patterson was defeated, BY

Happiness does not so much consist in
having much to enjoy, as in the faculty to
enjoy little. He who cannot be happy
without taking great pains, will always
find his pains greater than his happiness.
1t is beautiful thought Of Addison's, that
one man often takes more pleasure in the
contemplation Of fine estate, than ano-
ther does in the possession.-The former
derives much pleasure from estate, with
out being burdened with the care of pos
session the latter burdened with the care
of possession, derives little pleasure from
the estate. The one finds an estate in
the beauties in the estate. The posses
sion Of enjoyment, is better than the en-
loyment Of possession.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The l,igated questions that have been
pending between the Old and New Schools
of the Presbyterian Church, have been
settled, the New School having Withdrawn
the suit, The following is an extract
from published letter of the Committee
ad interim, of the New School, on the
subject
In relation TO the case at law oC the
Commonwealth Us. Green and others, the
Committee came deliberately and unani
mously to the result, on the 18th Of No
vember, ls4l, TO instruct their counsel to
withdraw the suit, and thus, for the pre-
SENT and they hope forever, to end the
legal controversy.
"Their powers are limited and not f.
nal. The Assembly Of ls43 mus, review
all their doings, and approve and confirm,
or censure and annul them. Hence the
final arbitration OF the whole matter is
with the Assembly alone. In the inter-
val, however, the Committee are the only
organ that can represent the Assembly
or give any authoritative counsel in the
case. Other Committees having expired
by limitation, The Committee ad interim
have necessarily acceded to duties unde.
sired and unnnticipated, 10 these relations
and are therefore the more required to sci
forth, both to their ecclesiastical brethren
and to the christian public generally
though they know no reason TO apprehenc
that the Assembly will at all disturb oil
censure their DECISIONS brief manifesto
at least of the reasons which have actu
ated and determine them in this proce
dure."
The same letter has the following il
relation to the present state of the schism
which gave birth TO the old and new scboo
parties
THE SCHISM AS 1T is.
"The two parties have now become
two denominations and agreeing as the.
do, in so many and such important artl
cles Of faith and order, with Interests
sympathies, dangers, and adversaries, s.
much united, having the same hope, AM

that continue to embtter life, to scandal

men. OF the great sin Of schism, we cal
not plead peculiarly, or in these relation
comparatively, if at all, guilty. An
henceforth we exhort all parties to cult
vate the spirit Of pacification and catholi
christian brotherhood. praying for tn
grace Of the Holy Ghost to be poured
copiously, on all the churches. Let y,

FROM The Richmond W1ig.
PRESIDENTIAL ASPfRANTS

There is palpable and growing unea
siness IN the ranks Of the Loco Foco Par
~, about their candidates for the Presi
dency and Vice Presidency. Each OF the
lpretenders has his pariizans, who are be.
coming more and more jealous Of each
other. The one apprehends that the 9TH
er IS attempting to gain the advantage,
and all are struggling hard for the prize.
As mere lockers on, we note, that the
Globe has not paid Mr.. Calhoun even a
passing compliment for three months. -
The Enquirer, on the other hand, has no,
whispered commentator of either Col.
Benton or Col. Johnson Tor six months
and il is even sparing Of its compliments
to Mr.. Calhoun, although its present pur.
pose is to persuade that gentleman and
his friends, that il is his devoted friend.
II writes editorials calling for one year
more of delay, and publishes letters from
Washington, weekly, urging the same
thing. IL Mr.. Calhoun can be amused
with promises for twelve. month, his
friends, il is supposed, will become so firm
y committed to :he party, that they will
not fly of, when Mr.. c. is set aside, as he
will be. II would be too much to have Mr..
Clay and Mr.. Calhoun the opposing can
didntes. That would be a redundancy OF
gen,iity. which the Locos could not stoni-
sch. In Pennsylvania, Mr.. Buchanan's
flag is flying, and his adheren,s say il
shall continue to fly. In the great West,
Col. Johnson's advocates are active, and
being confident that their favorite is the
strongest man of the party, are determin.
ed to adhere 10 him through good and
through evil report. The only danger
they have to encounter is, that Mr.. Van
Buren,, or some Of his agents, may tbrus,
another Buckner in the Coils way, and
tempt him to abandon his friends for ano.
Their loan Of $4,000.
Whilst Col. Johnson and Mr.. Buchanan
and Mr.. Calhoun are actively electioneer-
ing, Mr.. Van Buren, is no. passive. He
is openly in the field, and has made his ar
rangements with Gen. Jackson and Gov.
Polk.
The "Truc Wing" has the following
article, in which it strangely omits the
crack ticket OF Van Buren, and Polk.
BEHIND THE TINES.
II has been suggested to US that we
were entirely behind the news in our last
number, IN relation TO the loco candidates
for the next Presidency, and that il was
due to that party, which we were always
willing to oblige, that a corrected list, up
to the latest information from the knowing
ones here, should be given before their
followers take side. We therefore give
the following as the latest:

On LIES rouga journey girt with woman's love,
And womsn's ruth, jewels Of priceless worth,
That sorrows dim not, trials can but prove;
To stand with her bedside the shrines where lie
