CHINA-CoNTINUED.
RELIGION.

The ancient Chinese adored a Supreme Be
ing, under the name of Chdngzi or Iien J;
and also worshipped subalten spirits, supposed
to preside over kingdoms, provinces, cities, riy-
ers and mountains
Since the fifteenth century, many Of the Chi
nese Llterati have embraced new system; so
that there are two different sects the Literati
whose tenets are embraced by the Emperor, ac-
knowledge Universal Principle, which they
call Taxi, and offer sacrifices to the spirit of
their great philosopher and legislator, Confucils,
who was born A. M. 3453, and died 1926; they
also pay sort of worship to the dead, by burn
ing incense before their pictures, and Offering
fruits. The other sect, embracing the majority
of the common people, is that Of 70, or Xancd,
brought to China from India, about thousand
years after the reformation by Confucius 1t is
akind of gross idoatry mixed with Atheism.
The Priests of this sect, called Bones, ate sor-
cerers and astrologers, and believe in the trans
migration of the soul. Some Mahometans and
Jews, and few Christians, are also found in
China. America has had, for some wears, a
number Of Christian Missionaries there and
several have gone thither since the Celestial
Empire has made peace with England We

THE CASS AND WEBSTER CORES
PONDENCE.

The Chevalier Blair is doing up capital fun
in fighting the wind mills OF his IMAGINATION
The Chevalier, in Fridays paper, admits that IN
the fury, dust and sweat of the attack, he has
made The small mistake OF extracting from one
of Mr.. Cass's letters and attribuing the said
extract TO Mr.. Webster, and has INDUCED In q
column or two of condemnation and vtupera-
ton on its merits. The Cheyalier denounces |,
"wilhoul resele.n But, says this most inge-
Nous and ingenious man, it don't alter the Jdcfs.
Of course not, Blair. When any thing is
eoualiy false a small extraordinary mistake is
only pleasing diversity.
Bu this resolule bearing Of the Chevaller, IN
contending that back and white are precisely
the same colors, puts us in mind OF an anecdote
not long since related TO US by friend. Ii
seemed that he had the pleasure TO be present
at the discourse Of very ingenious and learn
ed gentleman connected with the church This
gentleman maintained that there was some
thing very significant in the fact that David
had taken fire smooth pebbles from the rill,
with which to smte Goliath. He dwelt with
great power on the fact that they were .tre
smooth pebbles. AT last il occurred TO person
present, that such was not the correct reading.
The reasoner insisted that there were five
The authority was produced; and sure enough it
was discovered that there were only three peb-
bles. Well" said the speaker "it's strange
strange, there are only three. o, but then that

valier the facts may be against him, but it
don't alter the argument

THE GREAT MISSISSIPPI MAIL.


The mail service on this great line vi com
munica,ion has been brought 10 high degree
Of efficiency under the present head OF the De
partment.
Official returns show that mails are despatch
ed by swift boats from Louisville TO New Or
leans, aud Vice versa, six times week, under
direction of the vgilanl agents at each place,
and in boats OF the best class, and at rate OF
service very much reduced. Experience
proves that, 10 say nothing of the business hab-
its and industry Of the present Postmaster Gene
raj and. supposing other things the same, there
is great practical advantage in having the
head of The Department come from the heart oil
the great and growing West which is in course
of such rapid development, and where SO many
new mailrouies and arrangements are required
10 correspond with the new settlements and
growth Of the country.
Whatever his opponents may say else OF the
President, they cannot say tina, he has not sur
rounded himself with advisers Of eminent abb
ty aud surprising devotion 10 their duties. la
this, surely they will admit that he has evinced
knowledge of men, and how to select with
rare disc riminaton those whose talents are
adapted 10 their high and peculiar duties and re-
sponsibilities. BY this faculty some of The
greatest men in history have acquired their
greatest renown.

CONSISTENCY, THOU ART A JEWEL
IL is really amusing to witness the desperate
efforts and egregious blund,rs Of those who are
moving heaven aud earth to break down the
President, aud get him out Of the way. In one
paragraph, he is ridiculed as "mon Of straw
"a mere insfrifm enfn in the hands Of others.
and utterly destitute Of any fixed principles. In
the next, he is earnestly "denouHced as the
most dangerous enemy the Democracy has 10
encounter" and must be overlhrown even at
the hazard of shaking the Republic 10 its cen
tire. Political consistency Thou art indeed a
rare Jewel Now ! ask the honest ard ref cling
portion Of my fellow-citizens, who love truth
and justice purely for the sake of these virtues
who value the sacred institutions of our com.

Pefceiving, in very short time, that he was
true as steel to his Virginia principles, and pos
sessed frmness enough to carry them fully out,
they pretended to laugh in their sleeves at his
credulity, and nsidiously endeavored to stamp
the impression upon the public mind, that hey

THAT ORGAN AGAIN.

The following paragraph has been copied
from the Madsonian, by the Globe, and the
Chevalier draws an inference from it, which
he announces as a fact, that the sentiment ex-
pressed in the paragraph in question, evinces
a wish on the part of the President to build up
a third party, aud TO make the Democratic Peo-
pie kill their wives and children, and eat them
selves up without remorse or salt:
"Mr. Hill has shown that he and his friends can't
be put down. With approach to the usual Wing
strength he and they hold the balance IF po,eer in that
State. This is a fixed constitutional fact As long
as the ulras act together, they may beat him. The
time will come when they will quarrel then will
approach the hour of his victory. MIR. Benton, MIR
Blair, Mr. Richie, may you profit BY this example, II
such the vote in .Ns,e Hampshire, hOw eke,ohers ?"
We have but stated fact, viz. that the Hon.
sufficient number to hold the balance of power
between the ultras in New Hampshire. We
beg leave distinctly TO say that the President,
so lar from desiring third party, expects in sy
months that his Administration will be sustain
ed by ,hree-iour,hs Of the Democratic party in
the country.
