And, ia as an angel, it aoated all free,
With wing on the earth and wing on thoHa.
How calm was the ocean! How gentle its swell.

LEEsBURG, VA, Get. g, iS44. Crush truth to-day-to your disgrace and sorrow, She Il nse and stare you In the face tomorrow
 The human tongue is said to be furnished with eleven muscles, and 1t would afford un- speakable delight to the votaries of religion. morals, and philosophy, if these auxiliaries of the organ of speech were exclusively de- voted to truth and sincerity. It would. how ever, be vain to expect this whenever they are enlisted in the vindication of a cause which, Tn its essence, is vicious and absurd. Accordingly, whenever a whig speaks in defence ot the l50 and 300 per cent tariff, every lngual muscle is called into action :: and, like eels confined in jar of vinegar. move with laborious contortons and with surprising nimbleness in all the tortuous ma- gic mazes of sophislical confusion; and though they scrupulously endeavor to shun even every appearance of truth, yet they fre- quently bruise their delicate shouts against Its bold projections
 Ask a whig to define and illustrate the utility otsthe minimum principle, and he leads us into a labyrinth of enigmas, and ends in the stale of absurdity of the ignotum perig- not'ns-or, in plain English, he involves the subject Tn still deeper obscurity, and leaves ltnere. In listening to a coon in defence of hls principles, his bamboozling reminds me of the entangling fallacies of celebrated ancient sophlst in his effort to disprove the

OPENING THE CANVASS.

Gen. Roman WILSON, the Wing candid
ate for ,Elector for this District, addressed
the citizeps of this place on Monday eve
ming last, in the Courthouse. Gen. w.
was not in good health, and came here on
private business, not expecting to be called
on for "a political speech; he however res
ponded TO the cal, and delivered very
humorous and .e3cellept speech, setting
forth the principles and objects of the
Wings on National Rnd State topics, which
was replied 10 by &c. +. Jackson. Esq.
Gen. Wilson spoke in favor of districting
the State for lhe election of members to
tGqpgress, in favor of a convention to
amend the constitution SO as TO egualize
representation in the legislature, against the
currency bills, and the tyrannical and OPP
pressve Tax Law of the last session of the
legislature.
Mr.. jackson, in reply, said he cordially
Rgrecd with Gen. w. on the subject of dis
lriQtiqg the State apd a convention TO alter
the constitpt.on TO eausliEe representation:
stood by and defended his currency bill
said he was willing tc sink or swim with
it--and forgot to say anything on the SUBJ
ject of the tax law.
