THE EFFECT OF POVERTY ON THE MIND

DIR. Charming thus sensibly describes the mar
rowing and depressing effect of poverty on the in
tellectual powers:
The condition of the poor is unfreudly to the ac-
ton of and unfolding OF the intellect, and a sore
calamity to n rational being. In most men indeed.
the intellect is narrowed by exclusive cares of the
body. In most the consciousness of its excellence
is crushed by the low use to which it is perpetually
doomed.
But still, in most, degree of activity is given
to the mind, by the variety and extent of their
plans for wealth or substance. The bodily wants
of most men carry them in a measure into the ft-
ture, engaging them in enterprises requiring inven-
ton sagacity and skill.
The great idea, which stirs up in other men a
world of thought, the idea Of better lot has almos,
faded from the poor mans mind He almost ceas-
es to hope for his children well as himself
Even paterna love, TO many the chief quickener
OF intellect, stagnates through despair
Thus poverty starves the intellect The Door
have no society beyond their own class that is. be-
yond those who are inclined to their own narrow
field Of thought.
1t is fact for political economists to URGE upon
every government, that the inhabitants of every
nation are enterprisng not according 10 their pow
erty. but their independence. The most degraded
people have the least care for the future while the
ever present is always misery.

MIR. FILLMORE AND HIS VIEWS UPON
THE SLAVE QUESTION.

We call the attention Of the Democrats of the
South, who seem read the letters of Willard Fill
more with such jaundiced eye, TO the subjoincd
epistles:
From the New York Express.
To set our Wing Editorial friends in the South
all right the subject Of Mr.. Filmore's position,
and to rive them ammunition to kill the LOcofoco
abolition" ghost that the Richmond Enquirer has
conjured up, we addressed letter to Mr.. Fillmore,
requesting him TO define his position on one givcn
point,-for we took a point, and only point, be-
this ''glosi or wolf" never be killed I'M
less you stand him point. The cOrrespon-
dence explains the point, and speaks for itself II
is only necessary to add, that have delayed pub
fishing it, in the hope, that the silly Richmond
ghost would lay lf,-but as it yet hauns the
public there, here is the shot that will kill it:
(CopY.)
New YoRK, Sept. 10, 1s4s.
TO tte Hon. Willard Fillmore:
Dear Sir: You may not be aware, as am, whose
business i, is daily to read Journals from all parts
or the Union, that, while Gen. Taylor is denounced
in the North by what calls itself 'sthc Democratic
party" here, for being Shareholder, YOU are not
the less denounced by the same SO called Demo-
cratic party in the South for being abolition
Isl, and for holding extreme abolition opinions. We
who have known you here need no reply to caumny,
but calumny every where, concerning you, cannot
be treated with contempt, as among your
friends and fellow citizens
For an example of what is said concerning you,
| see it charged in the Richmond Enquirer, that
you hold it to be within the power of Congress, to
interfere with break of the transportation
val, or disposal of, persons held as slaves from one
slaveholding state to another. was SO sure, not
only from my own knowledge of your opinions. but
from your Difference to the Laws and Constitution
Of the country, there could not be word of truth
in such charge, that peremptorly deniedt tosomo
Richmond friends, who wrote mo on the subject,
and promised to write and TO ask you if was not
correct. In pursuance of this promise, have writ
ten you this letter.
Yours respectfully, JAS. BROOKS.

TIIE REPLY.
ALBANY, Sept. ]

James BROOKS, Esq.
Dear Sir: | returned this morning from the
West, and have yours of the 10Th. in which you
say that it has been charged in the Richmond En-
Guirer, that | hold it to be within the power of
Congress TO interfere with, or break off, the trans
portation, removal, or disposal Of persons held as
slaves from slaveholding State to another
am not aware that this question has ever been
discussed in Congress, or was ever presented for
the consideration Of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States. before lS4l. In that year the celebra-
ted case from Mississippi was decided, and Mr..
Justice Mclean gave an elaborate opinion oil this
point in which the Chief Justice concurred. He
came to the conclusion that the Constitutional pow
this matter vested in the several States,
and not in Congress. So far as my knowledge en-
tends, this opinion carried conviction TO every
prejudiced mind and the question was considered
settled AT any rate this was my own opinion then,
and have seen no cause TO change it SINCE
Should do so, should not hesitate to declare it.
You will therefore perceive, that you did me no
injustice in representing 10 your friends that these
were my sentiments.
write in haste, amid the pressure of official du-
| ties, but remain, Truly yours.

FROM THE MOBILE HERALD AND TRIBUNE.
The ScOtchman'S Description Of Gen. Taylor.

Thank God, I've ken'd the good old mon
WIZ locks o. sna' and eyes o. fire;
We fought beneath his eagle glance
And sturdy heart that does ma tire
l've ken'd him in the loud ioray,
When death was laying low the clan.
And blood stain'd grew the chapparel,
And red old Rios waters ran.
Pve read o. Wallace and o. Bruce,
o. daring deeds by Campsells done,
But ne'er saw one approach SO near
Perfec,ion's picture as this mon:
He's ma so tall as lords of old,
But Draw and bold TO look upon;
And if ye saw him in the fight,
Dell take me, but ye'd blush to run.
He's aye so muckle cool and brave,
Ye'd think the field lady's route
The more the danger pressing grows,
The easier he can take ye out.
marked him well at Monterey,
When he rode i'm beneath the wall
How coolly he held Death at bay
How calmly he gave the recall.
Ye Southern folks may well be proud,
And tell his deeds in song and story
The laurel wreath that decks his brow,
Encirclcs the whole land wi glory:
For. were the world a mighty scroll,
And every tree and branch pen,
The sea all ink, ye'd fail to write
The glory OF earth's greatest mon.

How DO MEN GENERALLY GET THEIR Wives

How DO MEN GENERALLY GET THEIR WIVES
Where do men generally discover the women
who afterwards become their wives? is question
we have occasionally heard discussed, and the re-
suit invariably come TO is worth mentioning to our
young lady readers. Chance has much to do in
the affair; but then there are important governing
circumstances. 1t is certain that few men make
choice from ball rooms, or other places of public
gaiety ; and nearly as few are influenced by what
may be called showing off in the streets, or any al
lurements of dress. Our conviction is, that 90
hundreths Of all the finery with which women dec
crate, load their persons, go for nothing as fai
as husband catching is concerned. Where. and
how then, do men get their wives? In the quiet
homes of their parents or guardians-at the freside
, where the domestic graces and feelings arc alone
demonstrated, these the charms which mos
surely attract the high as we'll as the humble
Against these, all the fnery and airs in the worlc
, sink into insignifcance.

THE GOLD MEDAL TO GEN. TAYLOR

Whilst Gen. TAYLOR was on his late visit TO
Pass Christian, occasion was taken to present to
him the Gold Medal voted TO him by Congress-
In delivering the medal, Mr.. Charles Harrod, 10
whom the Secretary of War had committed this
pleasing duty. addressed the General as follows:
GENERAL TAYLOR: You are already aware, sir,
that am the bearer OF Gold Medal. voted TO you
by Congress, to commemorate your brilliant achieve
ments at Monterey.
1t was handed to me in Washington by the
President of the United States through the Hon.
Secretary of War, with request that would
place it in your hands; and now | have the honor
of doing 50, together with the official documents
accompanying il, handed me at the same time
Permit me, General, on this occasion, TO express
my qualification at being the bearer of this Medal
and having the opportunity Ia present it TO you in
the presence OF such numerous and brilliant as
sembly of your fine country women, and ut the same
time TO pay my respects to you, whom the nation
thus honors for bravery and skill in conducting her
armies.
This, General, is tribute from your country in
which our whole people from Maine to Oregon will
cordially unite, as proper, though feeble, express
sion OF the nations gratitude TO ono of its bravest
sons and most faithful patriots.
The Generals reply was follows:
Iaccept, sir, from your hands, with emotions of
gratitude which | can never adequately express
this high testimonial Of my country's appreciation
These repeated evidences of The kind favor with
which my countrymen have been pleased TO look
upon my humble services in Mexico have already

their bravery and patriotism, rather than through
any personal merit service of my own have

thanks for your kind offices on this occasion, and
