All are aware that the impulses and desires
Of some men lead them TO Stealing, Gambling,
Fighting, Arson and Murder, and that the tolerated
qualification of these tends to the utter destruction
nor only of Society but of the Human Race. What
Psssional Attraction really teaches is, that these
are the manifestations Of perverted distorted, mis-
developed springs Of action, which might and

ORIGIN OF THE GIANTS CAUsEwAY &c
Commander c. Morton, r. NJ, has propounded a
new geological theory respecting the basaltic
columns of the Giants Causeway and of Statfa ::
contending that they are not volcanic but of peg
etd6le origin, and the splendid relics of stupen-
dous bamboos of far distant age In support
OF this hypothesis he aludes to the fact of the
separate joints, both in bamboos and bdsaltic col
umns, being articulated with semi-spherica ten
ons, and corresponding sockets or mortices; the
tenon or moitice being, in both productions
sometimes in the upper and sometimes in the

THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.


The discussion among our Wing friends as 10
who shall be their candidate for the Presidency,
has been quite amusing. There appears TO De
as much diversity Of opinion among them as
there are aspirants for the office; and specla'
tor is led TO enquire what will become OF The dIi'
terent factions The Taylor party is growing
small by degrees and beautifully less. The lac
ton for Harry OF the West will hardly muster
corporaps guard. The Corwinites though lole-
rably large, SAVIOR loo strongly of our enemies,

And there is another demonstration made IN
