Lofty.

The Cassville Pioneer, Georgia paper, OF
Polk politics, published the presidents mes
sage, and heralded it in the following grand
Eloquent manner:
"Who can or will dare gainsay the prlnci'
pies embraced in the message. If there Is a
southern heart that does not beat in unison
with its position, the body embracing such
light and damned spirit should not be allowed
to tread the luxuriant soil that generates the
beauteous flowers opening upon the bosom
of the generous south"
An editor who could soar SO high upon
such subject as Mr.. Folks message, should
have a committee of reception, to take care OF
him when he comes down.-Lynn News.

Gen. Cass VS.. Humanity.

In speech lately delivered in the Senate,
Gen. Cass is reported to have expressed the
following ideas:
"Let modern pbilanthropists talk as they
please, the instincts of nature are truer than
the doctrines they preach. Military renown
is one of the great elements OF national
strength, and is one of the proudest sources OF
qualification to every man who loves his coun-
try"
Here we have leader of one of the parties
in this country sneering at the principles plain
ly taught in the Bible and carried out in the
lives of the early Christians. What he means
by instinct we do not know, unless he means
that disposition of retaliation so pointledy con-
demned by Christ that disposition to quarrel
which man has in common with the brute, and
which is as honorable in the one as the other.
For our part We think that revelation and rea'
son should decide as to what is calculated to
promote the strength of a nation and its real
glory, rather than brute instinct. National
strength and national glory, we believe. lie IN
q close adherence to the rules of strict justice
and the precepts Of humanity. To hold other
wise, is to contend that God does not take cog
nizance of the affairs of nations or punish
them for their misdeeds doctrine at variance
with the teachings of every page of revelation
and history. The strength of nation, and
especially of republic, lies in the virtue and
intelligence of its citizens, qualities which hit
them for the firm maintenance Of their own
liberties. 1t would not add to the safety of
the nation in the least if we were to possess
the ahlest generals in the world and best dis
ciplined and bravest troops, II the first were
ambitious and unprincipled, and the latter ig-
norant and mercenary, ready to turn their
arms like the soldiers of Caesar, against the
liberties of their country at the command CT
their chief. 1t is true, we may not have such
generals or such soldiers now, we have not
pursued long enough the course necessary to
create them, but we shall have them if we go
on many years in the course this Administra-
ton has marked out they are the natural
growth of offensive war. Let US, then, in
stead of encouraging war against our neigh
bors, lift up our voices in favor of peace-a
lust peace-such as shall be honorable to both
partes-assuredt that the best interests of both
parties require it.

Gen. Scott.


Qutman and Shields, Gen. Shields rose and
said:
81 wish, as a subordinate officer of the
American army, to give the health of that dis
tinguished commander under whom my hon.
orable and gallant friend and myself have had
the honor to serve I feel it due from me, re-
army has been commanded in such manner
by Gen. Scott as to call forth the applause and
estimation and high regard, not only of his
countrymrn, but of the whole world. 1t
would be useless and foolish undertaking on
my part to attempt adequately to describe be-
fore this intelligent assembly the skill and high
military knowledge exercised by Gen. Scott in
the conduct of that army, from its landing at
Vera Cruz until it entered the garita at Next
co. If l should attempt the task l should
fail. l could not portray with business the
conduct of that DISTINGUISHED commander in
the hazardous enterprise in which he has been
engaged. Butt will say this, that in the his
tory of the world-in the annals of all militia
ry affairs and enterprises that have ever read,
l find no enterprise comparable with the cap
ture of Vera Cruz. One Of the strongest po-
sitions in the world-so strong, indeed. that it
was deemed almost impregnable by the militia
ry minds of the world. and yet on coast the
most difficult of access in the world, it fell be-
fore an army of $4,000 men, with the loss of
only two score. And the same skill which
enabled him to accomplish this undertaking,
marked every movement of his progress until
he entered the gates of Mexico.
"With regard to Gen. Scott, if ever l har-
bored aught against him, politically or other
wise-for hasty plate of soup laughter or
a slow plate of soup-I recall it, and make the
ameade honorable to him, and say that should
be very unwilling to see any other man take
an army of 10000 men into the valley of Mex
leo and attempt to land them in safety. Such
an undertaking requires not only unqueston-
able bravery of the soldier and gallantry Of
the officer, but great experimenting military
mind, that had conquered and had made him
self master of his profession, and thus fitted
himself to accomplish such an almost miracu-
lous enterprise"

Mr.. Gray's Lecture.

The lecture Of the Rev. Mr. Gray before the
Lyceum last week, was on the benefits which
Science bestows on man. In the discussion OF
the subject the lecturer considered, first, the
various false notions and superstitions which
the light of science had dispel!ed, such as be-
lief in apparitions and witchcraft &c., &c.
That science has done an incalculable service
to the race in this respect, so far as it has been
extended, is too self-evident proposition to
be disputed and at first seems too much so to
render it necessary to call attention to it i; but
a little reflection will convince every one that
he does not really realize the extent of the
blessings science has in this respect conferred
on man, and the evils from which it has freed
him. One needs but to call to mind the many
who have been cruelty put to death by men
under the influence of these superstitions to
be fully sensible of what we owe to science on
this score.
The lecturer, in the second place, consider
ed the benefits to society growing out of the
various scientific discoveries, such as the in.
vention of the Steam Engine, the Magnetic
Telegraph, &c., and third, the aid which sci
ence gives religion in creating more just and
lofty IDEAS of God than are entertained by the
IGNORANT. The lecturer concluded by showing
the necessity there is of connecting science
with religion, proving that the former without
the latter would prove curse instead Of a
blessing, giving the power without the princi-
pie to direct it.
