The AGE.-One Of the most disgusting
features Of the human character, is that dis
position which we all evince to dispise the
unfortunate, and adulate the prosperous. -
This moral delormity is not peculiar to the
present generation; it is one Of the ulcers
of the human heart, hereditary in the fam
lily Of man, and dis6gures as much the page
Of history as the annals Of our own imesi
vet az we are grieVOusly afflicted with it
ourselves, it properly ranks among the
evils Of the age.
When a man who already possesses
wealth, but eager for more, embaFks his
capital in trade, we give him our dollars in
exchange for the commodities we require,
and augment his wealth by the profits be
derives from the transaction.
We do this, not because the man requires
our aid, not that he serves US better than a
poor man in the same line Of business
might, not that he is more civil or obliging
10 ne, not that we suppose he cares any
shing for US, or would give Us sixpence it
we were 10 need: no, not on account Of
any Of these considerations, but simply be-
cause he is, we suppose him TO be, rich,and
we cannst resist the innate baseness Of our
nature which is ever ready to PROSTATE us
at the shrine Of wealth.
The small trader, who probably makes
himself the article be sells, whose only
capital is the hands and capacity to labor
which nature gave him, who wants our Gus
tom, that he may give bis children bread,
who solicils by the humanity, the mOdesiy
and the need Of his appearance, soliciis II
in vain; we pass bis unprelending pier
With indifference or disdain, and spend the
dollar that would have reioiced the hearts
Of his wife and little ones, with his rich
neighbor; bestowing that which might have

TME.-Time is the only giR or CONS
modify of which every man who lives has
just the same share. The passing day is
exactly Of the same dimensions TO each of
US, and by no contrivance can any one Of
us extend its duration by so much as a
minute or second. 1t is not like sum
of money which we can employ in trade,
and put ont TO interest, and thereby add to,
or multiply its amount. It's amount is un-
alterable, We cannot make it s'breed."
We cannot keep il by US. Whether we
will or no, we must spend il, and all our
power, therefore, consists in the manner in
which it is spent. Part with il we must,
but we may give il either for something or
nothing. It's mode Of escaping from US,
however, being very subtle and silent, we
are exceedingly apt, because We do not
feel il passing out Of our hands, like sOmuch
told coin, to forget that we are passing with
il OF all, and thus from mere heedlessness,
The precious possession Is allowed TO pass
away, as IL il were a thing Of no value.
The first and principal rule, therefore, in
regard to the economy and right improves
ment Of time, is to habituate ourselves 10

the vulgar srsOrs Of the day, and one which

Oh wilt thou be dear maiden

Near where the sun is setting;
But where eur sun must rise.

But in my grasp 1 hear

The forest nations fear;
The wild Cumanche flies the track

And when / wind this yellow horn,
The tiger seeks his tree.
And gay with richest Aowers
And green with leafy shade,
Shall be the forest bowers
That love for thee has made;
No high and naughty palace,
But smiling through the green,
OF waving sea-like vallies
Our snow white cot is seen.
But il like maid Of Europe,

to organize territorial government, and afford
protection to our citizens there.
Mr.. Black, also offered resolution as a mod

the best interests of the country, that Texas
should be re-annexed to the United States as
soon as the annexation can accomplished upon
fair and legitimate terms

taken on the above resolutions, and decided in

The trial of Daniel O'Connell, and other prom
inent Irish Repealers, has been terminated. Af
ter an able address 10 the Jury by the Lord Chief
Justice, the jury returned with verdict for the
Government, against all the traverses, except the
Rev. Mr.. Tierney.
The return of the verdict of guilty caused the
most intense excitement in Ireland. Crowds
were assembled in every town.
The sentence has been deferred until thenext
term, but it is said to be doubtful whether any
punishment will be inflicted
The duke of Wellington is determined that
Mr. O'Connell shall not be sent to prison, believ-
ing that the moral effect of conviction will be
sufficient, and that punishment would be use
less piece of severity.
Mr.. O'Connell has declared that as soon as the
sentence is passed, he will submit the matter to
the whole body of Judges in Ireland, and in case
their decision is unfavorable, he will appeal to
the House of Lords, before he will submit After
the trial he appeared in his seat and made very
forcible speech on the subject of the state o.
Ireland.
Large quantities of arms and ammunition were
continued to be sent into Ireland. The meeting
of the Repeal associations still continued. The
proprietors of the various newspapers have with
drawn from the society, in consequence of the
doctrine asserted by the verdict

"TITE DEFEATED CANDIDATE.n

The wings persist in calling Mr.. Van Buren
the "defeated candidate" but they seem 10 have
forgotten the important fact, that Henry Clay
their own candidate, has been defeated three
several times for the Presidency. Mr.. Van Bu-
ren received in 1910, much larger vote than
any other candidate, whether successful or un-
successful, ever received before. True he was
then defeated, but is there man in his right
mind who will assert that he was defeated on ac-
count of there being fair, legal and undoubted
majority of the voters of the U. States against
him? There was an organized system of fraud
and pipe-laying established by the opponents of
MIR. Van Buren, that they will not dare TO estab-
lsh again. Besides infamous stories were con-
cocted, as black as Erebus and false as Tartarus
and industriously circulated throughout every
district by pensioned agents. They asserted
that MIR. Van Buren wished to unite the purse
and the sword in the hands of the Executive
that he desired to establish standing army like
that of England-that he opposed the late wal
that he wished to deprive poor men of the
elective franchise--that he wanted to reduce
mechanics wages to twelve and half cents PEE
day-that he had men travelling through the
country to tax chickens-that he was an aristo
crat-was counting the Queen of England--cor
responding with the Pope-that he slept OF
French bedsteads-rode in an English coach
supped out of gold spoons, &c. &c. &c. Thes,
and many other falsehoods were kept constant,
ahoat against Mr.. Van Buren. But after the elec
ton was over, and the people began to reflect
they soon discovered how egregiously they ha,
been duped and led astray by political lnaves
