SYDNEY SMITH ON WAR.-Among
the last of the productions of the pen of Sgd
ney Smith, was one son the duties of the
Queen in which this forcible paragraph &C.
ours:
GA second great object which I hope will
be impressed upon the mind Of this royal la
dy is, a rooted horror of war-an earnest and
passionate desire to keep her people in a
state Of profoundpeace. The greatest curse
which can be e~ntailed upon mankind is a
stale of war. All the attrocious crimes com
mitted in years Of peace; all that is spent in
peace by the secret corruptions or by the
lhoughtless exiravagance of nations, are
mere. trifes compared with the gigantic ev-
lis which stalk over the world in a state Of
war. God is forgotten in war; every princi-
pie OF Christian charity trampled upon; hui
man labor destroyed; human industry ex-
tinguished; you see the son, and the hus-
band, and the brother dying miserably indis-
tant lands; you see the waste of human af.
f%ections; you see the breaking of human
hearts; you hear the shrieks of widows and
chiIdren after the battle; and you walk over
the mangled bodies of the wounded calling
for death. would say TO that royal child,
worship God, by loving peace; it not yom"
humanity TO pity a beggar by giving him
food or raiment-I can do that; that is the
charity ofthe humble and the unknown; wi
den you your heart for the more. expanded
miseries of mankind; pity the mothers of the
peasaniry who see their sons torn away from
their families; pity your poor subjects crowd
ed into hospitals, and calling in their last
breath upon their distant country and their
young Queen; pity the stupid frantic folly of
human beings who are always ready TO tear
each other to pieces, and TO deluge the earth
with each others blood: this is your extend
ed humanity, and this the great field of your
compassion. Extinguish in your heart the
iendish love of military glory, from which
your sex does not necessarily exempt you,
and 10 (which the wickedness offatterers may
urge you. Say upon your deathbed, 4 have

We see it stated that Mr.. McLane, the

is an old and consistent Federalist. The

ing of Lafayette, Ia, says:
"As Lafayette and Tefre-H aute are as far
apart as New-York and Philadelphia, it must
be evident 10 the most jealous-minded friends
of the respective advantages of these 'loca-
TONS that there is plenty of room for both of
them, and Covington, too, TO become res
pectable' towns?"
Te which the Lafayette Journal replies:
Groom enough! To be sure. there is
and wealth, and enterprise, and advantages
enough. 10 boot. Nor would we overlook
the prospects OF other sister towns and villa
ges along the line of our great canal, both
below and above US. The long and short OF
the matter is, that our entire valley is des-
tined, at no distant day, to become a perfect
garden, interspersed with beautiful hamIets,
villages, towns and cities. Nature has rem
dered it possible--man has wilIed it--and
industry and arr will accomplish it. Away,
then, with all selfish and narrow-contracted
views. We are one people--our interests
are mutual-and so should be our aims"
Just so. All that this end Of the State
asks is, that this good feeling shall prevail
and il will not be long before we emerge from
the darkness and debt which now surround:

plan for the speedy completion of our Canal
and Indiana will again take her stand among
