"GOD WITH U.s."
uggested by examination of IVers picture, 'Iht
Embarkdtion ofthe Pugrims.'

Suggested by an examination Of Wcir's picture, IN
Embarkdtion of the Pilgrims.'
by WILLIAM o. BOURNE.
1t may be promised that the Pilgrims are por
trayed on the deck of the vessel in the act o
supplicating the guidance and protection o
their heavenly Father; and OH the corner Of thu
sail which was hung up to cover them is inscrib
ed the motto, "God with U.S." suspended just owe
the arch Of the rainbow, which is conspicuou
behind, thus uniting faith hope, and the promise
covenant in the same glance and recollection
Under this inspiration the lyrist seems TO hav
written his animating ode.

When darkening tempests lower and sweep,
Bevond we see the Fearless ray
That lights our path across the deep

LONG Boards AND HARD KISSING. Mr.
Brooks, in one of his letters from Russia, has
the following in regard TO Russian bearos and
Russian kissing
Apropos, of boards, as run from one thing to
another. The Russian wear them here of mon.
strous dimensions, as long and as bushy as a
horses tail, and about as handsome as such an
appendage would be, hung to a mans chin.
Few of the Mojaias shave at all, but the abon.
ination Of musachoes, as thick as a shoebrusIl,
and beard in proportion, is confined rather to
the Stevens than The gentlemen Of the country.
Often have seen two fierce looking Russians,
with the beard OF Mahomet upon their backs and
dirty faces, looking as ii they had never yet
found an acquaintance with razor's SOAP or wa
ter, and stroklng away their boards Tor kiss
Both hands are kept busy in separating the en-.
tangled web that SO beautifully surrounds their
mouths, and when once it is found, Russian
can kiss his fellow man with all the gusto that
lover would kiss his lady. This is the fashion
with all here, and though, as old John Bunyan
said, maiden may sometimes be kissed with
more than Christian relish wherewith, as with
holy kiss the dIciples were commanded to Sd
Lutte one another, the men seem to embrace one
another, and to kiss each other as though they
were pair OF turtle doves.

RESPECT TO OLD AGE.

A young gentleman fresh from college,
who had more knowledge of books than OF
men, was vending his way to the Rev. DR..
c.. of CT. The doctor was extensively
known and respected for his energy of char
acter. his learning, and picty, and moral
worth. But like the great apostle, he did not
disdain 10 labor with his own hands,"
With letter of Introduction 10 the aged d.
vine, whom, he had known only by reputation,
our genteel young friend was seeking the
privilege of an acquaintance with him.

Without condescending to thank him for

the lady of the house, awaiting the expected
arrival of the doctor.
In due time the host appeared, having re.

The confusion and modification of tn
young man were indescribable. He coul

aTHE APPROACHING q CAMPAIGN IN
Il ~ KISSTS SIPPI.''

The last number OF the Mississippian m an
article headed with the above tltles after ur.
eing the Democracy to united and concert
ed action in the approaching campaign, and
depFecating any tendency to dssention or a
division i'm their ranks, proceeds TO make up
the issues which It insists shall be the only
a uestion brought into the contest These are,
Bank, Tariff; and the assumption Of Slate
debts, by thelgeneral government.
Now the Wings claim for themselves tie
right of determining what measures they viii
advocate, and propose to carry into operation,
in the policy OF the government. They utter
" refuse TO receive such issues as their oppo-
nenis may tender them. The question Of as.
sump:ion has never been in any degree con-
nected with the Wing party, and the insdous
attempt which is made by the democratic or
gans. to saddle upon the Wings an unjust and
odious measure, which had its origin with a
few individuals in Congress, is'in perfect har>
mony withthe uniformly liberal and honorable
treatment which they have received from the
L0ccfocos,
- 1ne "A1iSSisSipplan says "noHe can DC so
blind as not TO see that the entire Wing party
of the Union viii ina short time come out in

From what source does that Journal Ctrive It's

Is II from the sIanderous inuendos not yet
amounting to direct charges contained in the
Globe, that the Wings are the advocates Of
this measure in Cong resrl
The only project for the assumption Of state
debts by the Federal government, is tie one
proposed by VIM. Cost Johnson, and that mea-
sure has never rece ived The support Of the
Wings its advocates are so few, that altho'
il has gained some strength since it's original
proposition, il can scarcely yet be said 10 have
a party, and has never been connected with
the moments Of the Wing party, except in
the slanderous charge Of the Loco Focos. No
circumstance in the history OF that project, can
Be adduced 70 establish any identity Of the
Wings, as a party, WI h the advocates ofthat
measure. and stu they are repeatedly accused
by :hc opposite party Of entertaining such a
design.

AwFUL RETRIBuTIoN-- few days since,
considerable excitement was produced by
1.-The disappearance of young girl, aged
about 10, the daughter Of Mr.. Mercer, one
the most wealthy and respectable inhab-
itants Of Southwark. A young man of this
lefty named. Hutchinson Ileberton, was
arresled-on suspicion Of heing concerned
lInIer abduction, but was discharged in
consequence Of the 81 rs return to her.
/ parents. II was ascertained, however,
THAT Herbcrton had seduced the young
girl. and that she had gone TO D house Of
I'LL fame in The ueigh bourhood of Pine and
Twelfth streets, where he had been in the
| habit ofmeeting her. Her abssnceas well
as her return we believe. was voluntary.
The anguish ofthe family at the knowl-
rdzzo OF 5tt,sr aial-asaa- thas had fallen npnn
the daughter. Of their house, no. tongue
can tell nor pen describe. To wipe out
ths stain rs far as possible so to do, mar
r;are was proposed to tho seducer This |
was declined on his part, and the brother
fine seduced then challenged him. This I
was also declined. Tae infuriate brother,
stung almost 10 madness determined not
to be banked in bis revenge. He watch
cd tho movements of Herberton, and llav-
ing ascertsined that he was to leave theI
city last evcing in carriage, by way of
Camden, he concealed himself on board
ofthe ferry boat armed with one Of Colts
six barreled pistols. Shortely aiter, the
carriage was driven on hoard with the
blinds drawn up,and within few yards oil
the Jersey shore, Mercer approached the
carriage and fred four balls into lin quick
succession. One Of them proved fatal,
taking effect under the left shoulder blade. l.
and another entered the BODY or Herber.I
ton. He was conveyed 10 tavern 10
Camden, where he expired in few min.
utes Mercer Immediately gave himself
up TO the authorities. , H
Thus has the atrocious crime of seduc-
i m been visited with awful and summary {
'etribution at the hands Of the outraged
brother. We have been acquainted with 9
Her6crton for some years, and have al I
Ways known him as mild, gmiable and | !

e committed was Of too black and damn. l'li

Georgia. The Wings have rallied finely and
elected their candidate &c. w. Crawford,) to Con-
gress, in place OF MIR. Habersham, by more than
5000 majority. The locofoco candidate was Gen.
McDougald, who has recently killed Col Hep
burn, brother loco. 1t seems these men had
personal quarrel, and accidentally met OF the In
surance Bank at Columbus. Hepburn, Just as
Med. entered, raised his hand to his breast peck
ct for letter: Med. supposed he intended to
draw pistol, and instantly shot him through the
heart Appropos the locos have majority in
the legislature, and recently attempted 10 pass
most ridiculous batch Of resolutions against Sena-
Tor Berrien. Among other things, they say they
will not recognize him in any manner as Sena-
tor Of that state, and address to him no commu-
nicalion as a Senator. The Wings refused TO
vote, Sc THAI there was no quorum. The locos,
however, declared the resolutions adopted though
not by quorum. Now behold The verdict of the
people, giving 1000 Whig majority in an election
by general ticket.
