The ENQUIRER AND THE CONVENTION

THE ENQUIRER AND THE CONVENTION
| II does not become us to interfere in a
matter in which we have no concern; and
surely If there was ever one in which not
only we, hut the large majority Il this
country had no inter st, il is that OF the
approaching Loco Foco Convention. Let
the NOMINEE be who he may, let him &c,
in Convention what number Of votes he
may, he is yet doomed to be not only b. at
en- but utterly anuihilated, by Old "tlar.
~ Of the West" when he comes before
the people. But we are glad portion Of
the Democracy, are now enabled to see
the manner in which the wires have been
working in this State for the last Thirty
years.
The Editor Of the Enquirer is asked by
him of the Mercury, ifm certain con.
tingency, he will do or submit to GER
tain thing. Every man in this commu.
nifty knows well enough what the vener-
able editor would say, il he we're put up
on his oath. Blu, candor is no part Of his
game. He processes the deepest hunoill-
ty /; he will not venture, no, not no, TO
answer for the Democracy; but he will
gather their opinions on tho moo,ed point.
How does he undertake to effect this de-
sirsbe object7 By calling primary as
semblies all over the country, discussing
the matter, and thus elciting the spntI-
ment of the maj rty Far from it. he
takes care TO run no such unnecessary
rlsqus.
lie issues circular to the faithful,
aud requests them to give vent, to their
sentiments, through the columns of the
Enquirer Forty thousand men giving
their opinions through the columns of a
semi weekly newspaper!!! Blu; i, is Mt
to be presumed that all these voters will
appear in their own right. They are TO
be represented OF the rate Of some ten
Thousand 10 q representative, by few Of
the Enquirer, old Romans, who are The
true opponents Of public opinion in this
State. The editor himself has no doubt
at leest half of them 10 his own pocket at
this present time Of writing, and he can
find Romans enough in this city TOR ;he
residue. Truly this is a very modest and
Reoublicsn-lke method ofse,tling affairs.
We shall keep sharp look on, upon the
columns Of the Enquirer We shall 90
doub, be gra,ified with an ample display
Of public sentiment ; that is, ii being con
ceded that Richie and his Romans are
the public. OF course If any should dis.
sent, he is wig in disguise. and no por.
ton Of the public therefore the commu-
nic.,ions Of oil such will be published, or
not, as the editor may see fit.
We do not hope to have any influence
on the Calhoun men, nor do we desire
any. We will beat them and their favor
lite GU, Of sight, whenever they may
choose to run him. Blu, we must think
more indifferently Of their understanding
than we are prepared to do at present, if
they allow themselves to be taken in by
such shallow device. Why the ostrich
that sticks his head in the sand, and leaves
his posteriors exposed. thinking tina, no.
body can see him, because he can see
nobody, is prodigy Of wisdom compared
to the perpetrator of such shallow Rrti-
fec. Rich. Wing.

1HE WINGS OF VIRGINIA.

We have taken occasion very lately
briefly to exhort tho Wings Of Maryland
to come forward 10 their strength ut the
approaching election, and assert their po-
li:ical power, and at the same time vind,-
cate their outraged faith by taking the
Legislative authority OF the State into
their own hands. We have felt at liber.
ty make this spneal to them from the con.
sanguinity and relationship which exist
between this city aud the State Of Mary
land, and from the large circulation which
this paper enjoys within its limits.
We do not feel that we have aitogeth.
or the same RICH, to appeal to Virginia,
Though our circulation il, numerically,
even larger in that State than in Mary
land y but we should isel that We we're
rcmiss in our duty were we not to assist
IN giving currency, rs far as we con. to
the following ,imeous question and sug.
gestions, by those who have every right
IN the world to make them:
F'rox tAs Richmond WhiS.
Are THE WING MEN OF VIRGINIA Do
ING THEIR Dury AND Their WHOLE d.
rYt we put that question to every Wig,
and trust he will take il home to himself
and if not now prepared to answer il in
the affirmative, that he will lose no time
in getting ready.

objects in view--l, The dissemination of
truth among the whole body Of people !;
2. The making every wing twenty.one

dspuiable and. 3. To bring every man
to the polls on the day OF eleciion-the
political position of Virginia will a, once
cease TO be matter of doubt. We earn
estly entreat the Wings TO begin this
good work. Let no one, from sense OF
mistaken dslicacy, wait for another to
begin. All are equally worthy to lead
in cause like this. The humolest az
we'll as the highes,--,he poorest as the

INTELLECTUALLY IN EDEN

INTELLECTUALLY IN EDEN.
The following opinions Of the Philadel-
phia Christian Observer and Charlotte
Elizabeth, are somewha, scandaous of
our fret parents:
Some theologians describe the inteliec-
tuol powers evinced by man, in Eden, ss
incomparably superior to every develope.
msnt OF mind witnessed since the fall
Their imsginations represent the great
sire Of the race as endowed with various
accomplishments; of a high intellectual
order,-suc as great discrimination, su.
perior judgment, cultivated taste &c, pre-
senting, in the infancy Of the world, a
picture of mans intellectual nature in its
perfection. Accord ng to th,ir theory
the best condition Of mar since the fall,
under the combined influences Of religion,
science, civilization. and the arts, is but
an humble approximation to his intelec-
tual grade in Paradise. Whether their
teaching is in all respects credible, is
question on which we have no opinion to
offer. We nutice it to observe that it is
not sustained by the following remarks,
from the pen Of an accomplished female
author. We refer 10 Charlotte Elizabeth.
In one of her late works, she SAYS Of Eve,
our common mother:
"She showed herself .eminently
fool in crediting the extravagant false
hood, (of the serpent) tina, He who Great.
ed her husband out Of the dust Of the
earth, and herself Of bone of that dust
b,rn body, was afraid of their attaining
to rivalry with HIM by eating the frui,
oil certain tree. The pride of carnal
reason too often consuers iaith +; but here
was an instance of presumptuous folly
oveIpowering both. Eve was help
meet for Adam; in his sweet task Of
dressing and keeping the garden, in the
exercise OF continual prayer and praise,
and in all the happy employmenis Of his
blissful lot; but, with sad proof of her
extreme inability before us, we had better
refrain from specializing on the subject Of
her supposed equality with man, in the
highest powers Of their common nature :!
And, we add, the same admonitory les
son gives no countensncs to the theory of
mans intellectual sup ,riority in Eden"

PORTUGUESE JOE.

At the Battle OF Lake Cbsmplain, a sailor. call
d Portuguese Joe, performed the gallant exploit
mailing tho stripes and stars to the mast, after
hey had been shot down. He p-ished in the
anne. at the late Are in Exchange Place, New Or
Fans.
Upon The lake the battle ragged,
And warmly was each heart engaged.
To win their nations liberty
To conquer Or TO die
Tho iron bsil was Aying fsst
Agsinst IL ~, sgsinst the mast.
And msny = Nsrsn and gallant frame
Tbs rssy q death became.
And louder grew the cannon's sousd,
And faster few the bslls around.
And ssdly rose nbove the strife
The groans Of parting life.
Still the bravo ssrs bebsld with pride
The stripes and sssrs exulsipg tide
Where many an eye was fopdly cast,
Upon tho towering mast.
Blu, ha,k, q shot twas guided well,
And suddenly the colors fell
Another-snd snother--now
The flag is lying low
Upon the deck the stripes and stars
Dip IN the blood OF dying tsrs,
Oh. surely tie glorious stain,
The life-blood OF the slain,
But who Is this Who nobly dsres
Replaces these precious stripes and s,arsl
The tsttered shrouds his fingers si,ze
'Tis Joe--the Portuguese,
Into the rigging quick he springs,
Close to the spiin,ered mast he cliug.,
And now sloft how eagerly
lingering every eye
A long, a loud, a deafenine cheer,
Bursts from each gallant ssilor near,
Behold, the flag of liberty
Again is waving free.
Three cheers! the flag once more is spread
Joe's shining hat waves Der his head
And bark! shout Of triumph now.
Three cheers from those below!
The fight 10 o'er-the battle done:
Twas bravely fought--'twas brsvely ~op;
And Jos glorious part did play,
That lopg-rememhered day.
Long years have passed and Joe is dead;
His ashes to the winds are spread
Long live within our memories
Brave Joe---the Portuguese!
