THE PHENOMENA OF THE BRAIN.

One of the most inconceivabIe things in the ma
ture of the brain is that the organ of sensation
should itself be nsen:ibe. To cut the brain gives
no pain, yet in the brain alone resides the power
of feeling pain in any part of the body. 1t is only
by conmunicat on with the brain that amy kind of
sensation is produced, yet the organ tseIfis nsen-
siblo. But there is a circumstance more wonder
full. The brain itself may be removed, may be cut
down to the corpus calosum, without destroying
life. The animal lives and performs all those
functions which are necessary to simple vitality,
but has no longer mind. 1t cannot think or feel,
requires that the food should be pushed into the
stomach; once there it is digested, and the animal
will even thrive and grow fat We infer, there
fore, that the part of the brain called the conyou-
lions, is simply intended for the exercise of the in
tellectual faculties, whether of that low degree
called instinct OF that exalted kind bestowed on
man, the gift Of reason Wigan on The Quality of
the Mind.

LIEBIG WHEN BoY.-Liebig was distinguished

LIEBIG WHEN A BoY.-Liebig was distinguished
at school as "booby," the only talent then cult
waited in German schools being verbal memory
On one occasion, being sneerihgy asked by the
master what he proposed to become, since he was
50 bad scholar and answering that he would be
a chemist the whole school burst into laugh of
dersion Not long ago, Leiebig saw his old school
master, who feelingy lamented his own former
blindness. The only boy in the same school who
ever disputed with Lehig the station Of "booby,"
was one who could never learn his lesson by heart,
but was continually composing music and writing
it down by stealth, in school. The same ndvd-
ual Lebig lately found at Vienna, distinguished as
composer, and conductor ofthe Imperial Opera
House. | think his name is Rueng. 1t is to be
hoped that more rational system Of school in

more absurd or deteslable than a system which
made Walter Scott and Justus Lielig "boobies"
at school, and effectually concealed their natu
raj talents, that, for example, Lebig was often
ectured before the whole school, on his being sure
to cause misery and broken hearts to his parents,

Il. If our votes were an expression of our will
on the subject, we cannot be responsible for it, for
we expressed our unqualified disapprobation of
the measure. Southern papers urged Mr.. Clay's
election on the ground that he would be more
likely to secure annexation than Mr.. Polk. But,
allowing he was opposed to it under some circum-
stances, which was all he ever pretended, Mr.
Birney was opposed to it under all circumstances,
and we are the only men in the nation who have,
by our vote, expressed our unqualified oppo sition
to it. Had the wings voted with US, it might have
defeated the measure, but had we voted with them,
there is not the least reason to believe it.

scores, if not hundreds of the wings say, since the

row; but hardly think any of them will die of
grief on that account.

OPERATION OF BAD LAw--At Columbus Ohio,

into the Scioto river. The only witnesses by
whom the murder can be substantated are n col
ored family with whom she lived, and the testimo-
ny of these against white person being excluded
by the law of the State, it is probable that the
guilty person will go UNPUBLISHED. Could anything
be more absurd than such law? To exclude n
witness on account of his religious profession
would be comparatively honorable, for thai may
he changed; but to exclude whole class, howev-

ME>sRs. EDITORS The wings will insist that
the Liberty voters are answerable for The annexa-
tion of Texas? Well it seems, after all, that
Texas could not be annexed without the help of
three lchig Senator'S, all honorable men. These
were in the market, and by their assistance the
treason was carried through Had three more
senators been wanted, think you that they could
not have been bought up? What lucky circum-
stance that honorable wbig senators can be bought
up by Captain Tyler and the Pokies! Surely
our senators should be called Senator'S for sale
Who buys' who buys' Texans have now Meth
ing to fear. Their gold is as potent as British
gold. Really, sir when our editors SIT down to
repeat the old story about abolition votes, they
will kindly tell US how much it cost the Texans
to buy up three wing senators-just all they want

PRESIDENTS MISUNDERSTANDING.

.
Our neighbor of the Patriot is disturbed with
the "amiability" of our notice of Presidents Poks

the truthlulness Of our remarks? We defy him to
do sol
The first remark Of which he complains, is this:
"We have never seen more hypocrisy and absur-
dities crowded into so small space" And we
are ready to re-afirm it. Mr. Polk, in speaking
of our free republic, says: "A are entitled to
equal rights and projections" while be klopcs that
every sixth person in the United States is deprived
of every conceivable right, without protection, and
subject to the will and caprice of their masters to
all ntents and purposes. And Mr.. Polk himself
is the owner and controlling power of nearly one
hundred of these human beings Again "All
distinctions of birth and rank have been abolish
ed" while Mr.. Polk we'll knoles that ever child
born of a slave mother is doomed to life of inter
minable bondage, one hour of which, Jefferson
pronounced to be worse than ages of British OPP

adopted, are placed upon terms of precise equal

stones would have cried out-"Is Mr. Polk knave
or smpleton?"
The Patriot further complains of our quotation
from scrpture-"May his days be few, and anoth
er take his ofice"-menning, evidently, that We
hoped four years would complete his presi
dental term, and that Birney, or some other Lib.
erty man, might "take his office" And to thi:
end we shall labor with hearty good WILL the
Patriot to the contrary Notwithstanding.
