" THE AMERICAN ART UNION Mr.. Thos
W. Brown, of this place, who is one of the Hon
Norary Secretaries of this institution, has pre-
scented US with a pamphlet containing the de-
tails of the objects, &C., for which it was in
corporated by the State OF New York. The
object of the institution is 10 cultivate and
promote taste for the fine Arts in the United
States Every one who will contribute So
becomes member for one year, and is entitled
to a splendid engraving, which we should say
was worth the money of itself. In addition
however, to this, large number of painting:
are distributed By lottery, amongst the mem
bers every year. The institution is doing Z
great deal towards accomplishing the end fol-
which it was established. We are requested
by Mr. Brown to say that he will be happy
at all times to give those who may desire it
all information on this subj

Mr. VAN BUREN's LETTER-We call the
attention of the reader TO the letter of Ex-
President Van Buren,, which will be found in
this weeks paper. AS whole, we have been
much pleased with the sentiments contained
in this letter. We do not, however, coincide
with Mr.. Van Buren,, when he says that
" scarcely ever has the essential welfare of
the country been in more critical condition"
We cannot, believing as we do that the pa
triotism of the American people is fully equal
to the crisis in our foreign affairs which at
present has arrived think that we are placed
in any very critical situation. We do, how
ever, fully endorse that portion of Mr.. Van
Buren's letter which calls upon the friends OF
the administration to rally around it and give
TO it full, free, and generous support. This
is essential, and any man calling himself a
Democrat who fails to do so, will assume a
responsibility, the extent of which time alone
can develope. We like this letter the more al
the present moment, because of its enlarged
and temperate views, inasmuch as the son OF
Mr. Van Buren, has very recently figured in
the State of New York as one of the leaders
OF the faction which has lost to the Democrat
&c party that great State We bespeak for the
letter q careful perusal

The NORTH CAROLINA REGIMENT.--W e
publish in this weeks paper no less than three
articles, all bearing upon the recent (and we
fear presenD difficulties in the North Carolina
Regiment now on the Rio Grande. In devo-
ting to them such a large space in our col
umns, we think that we are but doing an act
of sheer justice to the actors in the various
scenes TO which they refer. We think, too,
that as public journalist, it is our duty to
spread before our readers those things which
we feel confident must interest each and every
one of them For surely the honor OF the
whole State is involved in the recent difficult
ties which have occurred in our Regiment of
Volunteers; and most assuredly the people OF
North Carolina should be informed, as far as
may be, by whom these unfortunate difficult
ties were brought about, We, for one, in
tend that they shall.
That Col Paine has acted in a mannerao-
tally unbecOming the character OF a comman-
der of a Regiment of American soldiers, none,
we presume, will, at this hour, attempt TO
gainsay That he should resign, we also
think is the opinion Of all, if only to save
the State from an accumulation of evils
by his being made to quit under the
sentence of a Court martial; for we sup
pose that an inquiry will be made into his
conduct; and if there is we have little doubt
of the result of that inquiry We forbear al
present, however, from saying more on this
subject

ing President, and Capt Lee of the ordnance
department, acting as Judge Advocate Gen.
kearney the prosecutor and the main witness
was called to the stand The charges for
which Gen. Kearny arrested Col. Fremont, at
Fort Leavenworth, and which he is now en-

Positive and wiful disobedience of orders,

plne. Col. Fremont has engaged the services
of Hon. Thomas H. Benton and w. Carey
Jones, Esq, as his counsel, to assist him in
conducting the defence. It is supposed that
the trial will occupy at least three or four
weeks. We very much regret that such an
unpleasant difficulty should have arisen be-
tween two officers of such distinction and gall
lantry.

New JERSEY ELEcTIoN.-The Election
which took place in this State on the I'd inst,
for Governor and members of assembly, result
ted in the triumph of the Democratic party.
Daniel Haines, dem, is the Governor elect bv
a majority of about $500 votes Thus have
we during the last few weeks, carried the pop
ular vote of Georgia, Ohio, Maryland,
and Pennsylvania States, too, which
are generally so nearly balanced as to make
both parties confident of victory up to the
time the votes are counted out. This does not
look like the administrations being SO very
unpopular.

far ,Uorms.-The origin, development, and support
Of worms in the human system, are to be attributed
to depfaved and debiatng condition Of the
stomach and bowels; it being established fact
that where the digestion is unimpaired, and the
general powers of the system in a healthy state
they can find no hsbtatioh. This preparation
has the peculiar advantage Of not only destroying
every worm but also Of producing a healthy &C
ton Of the stomach and other organs Of digestion
thereby relieving many complaints arising from
arrangement OF the digestive organs. Although
prompt and certain in its operation, and not un
pleasant to the taste, it is perfectly safe and aaaP
ted to the tenderest age.

Hs-Does our neighbor of the "Chronicle,

D-Does our neighbor of the "Chronicle
claim the New York election as a Wing tri-
umph? Neither the National Intelligencer
nor the New York Courier & Enquirer do
Again: does the Chronicle, under all the cir
cumstances, claim the late election in New
York, as Wing victory? If he does, then
he must admit that the Wings of New York
have triumphed solely on the strength Of their
adoption of doctrine against which the
whole South, whether Wing or Democratic,
is most strenuously battling; and if the Dem.
ocratic ticket has been defeated, was it not be-
cause the Democratic Convention which NOM
mated that ticket, refused to adopt this, to us
of the South, obnoxious doctrine-the Wilmot
Provlso? Does not the Chronicle know these
facts? Does not the Chronicle know that the
New York Wing State Convention adopted
the Abolition resolution Wilmot Provi-
so-which had been rejected by the Democrat
ic Convention which met at Syracuse? and
will the Chronicle, a Southern paper, still
claim New York wings as brethren?

EXHIBITION OF THE DEAF AND DUMB.-We
did not have the pleasure of being present at
the Masonic Hall on Monday night last, when
Mr.. Cooke gave his very interesting exhibit
ton. We did endeavor to be present, but the
crowd was so great that we found it impossi-
bic to get into the Hail. A gentleman who
was more fortunate than ourself, furnishes us
with the following communication -
Mn ED1roR-Dear Sir: know it will
afford YOU pleasure to grant me little corner
in your Journal to express my great satisfac-
ton at the exhibition OF some of the pupils of
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum of our State, by
its very worthy conductor, VIM. D. Cooke,
Esq.
At very early hour on Monday evening
last, the Masonic Hall was crowded to over
flowing, and after short but pertinent address
from MT: Cooke, explanatory of the object OF
the exhibition, the nature of the institution,
and the mode of instruction, the pupils were
invited to take position on the stand. They
were then taken through various exercises OF
the most interesting character, afording the
most ample and satisfactory evidence of the
value OF the institution, as we'll as of their
proficiency in the different branches of English
education.
Among various other things, Mr. Editor, it
was peculiarly interesting to witness their
description or relation of various tales; some
taken from the Bible, others from profane his
tory, and interpreted by Mr. Cooke for the
audience. In short, sir, everything was OF
the most interesting character, and we would
earnestly recommend TO all parents and guar
dams who may have the care of any of that
unfortunate class of persons, to place them
under the care of the worthy manager of that
institution. Yours, very truly,
A VISITOR

N-Does our neighbor of the Chronicle
know that it is one of the articles of war that
no officer of the army shall be dishonorably
discharged from the service, unless he is so
discharged either by the sentence of Court
Martial. or the order of the President of the
United States How, and in what manner
were Lieutenants Singeltary and Fender dis
honorably discharged from the service of the
United States Why, by the simple order Of
Gen Wool, without any hearing whatever
Still the Chronicle thinks the President ought
not to have interfered We think that the Pre-.
sident would have failed to perfom one of his
most binding and important duties, had he re.
fused to reinstate these two officers We
thought the Chronicle was great stictler fol
claw and order" Did not those who dismiss
ed these two officers from the army, withou
any sort of trial, clearly violate all g law anl

repair the wrong which had been done by this
violation' What say you, neighbor?

Mr.. CLAY.-From present indications, we
should not be surprised if Henry Clay would
again be a candidate for the Presidency. The
" Lexington (Ky.,) Observer" is we'll known
TO be Mr., CIay's organ, and several articles
which have appeared in it recently, strongly
indicate that Mr. Clay, if nominated, will again
run. In that paper of the Sd instant, there is
a notice of public meeting of the citizens of
" the county," to be held on the 18th inst,
and the Editor of the Observer Uexington)
states editorIally by authority, that Mr. Clay
will address the meeting, and will also present
resolutions for the consideration of the meet
ing. What does this mean? We would not
be surprised to see bold move upon the part
of the friends of Harry of the Vest to start
him once more on the Presidential track. Ger
tainly his addressing public meeting just at
this juncture, looks some what as if he
wouldn't mind taking another heat, if he can
only find bdckers We wait with some inter-
est for a report of his views as expressed at
the meeting in Lexington.

CoNcREss.-The fear is, in certain quarters,
that the coming session will extend to eight
months. The press should speak out upon
this subject. and in language not to be misun-
derstood. Long sessions are often productive
OF much mischief. They keep the public
mind in state of constant excitement. busi
ness is deranged, apprehension and uncertain.
" exist, and the important measures are post
poned from week to week, and month TO
month, with little or no reason. Congress
should not act hastily or rashly when grave
questions are up for consideration. But the
absnrdity OF occupying SO much time with id e
political speeches, intended for particular dis
lrlcts, and not for the business OF the nation,
cannot be too strongly denounced.
We clip the above remarks from an ex-
change, and entirely endorse them. We do
really think that The manner in which the
time of the House of Representatives, during
the last three or four sessions of Congress has
been consumed by angry and Improbable dis
cusslon, ought TO be put an end to in some
way. If members of Congress must make
speeches for the sole purpose of letting their
constituents know that they can make a
speech in Washington, why, we say, let them
suppose they hare delivered them. This will
answer all purposes just as we'll as if thew
were in truth and reality to bore the House
with them, besides shortening the session of
Congress very materially 1t is really too
bad to have weeks consumed in the delivery
OF speeches, which, in nine cases out of ten,
throw not particle of new light upon the
subject matter discussed Wet trust that some
mode may be devised to abate this. as we
conceive it, increasing nuisance.

they will not allow to him, even within their
own borders, the rights of citizen.
