The Editors Of the above Journal, are cer-
,ainly exhaustng their ingenuity for inveclve
sgunst Mr. Calhoun. In the editorial Of their
last issue, we find the following remarkable
sentences:
"siessrs. Polk, Van Buren. and Calhoun,
have constantly played into the hands of the
most bitter and ever active enemies OF slavery"
Again. on.the subiecrof the Southern moVe-

"Mr. Calhonn and all other disunionis,s

That Journal, protesting to be a leader in
party politics, should be the organ Of such vile

Intelligence of our people. 1t is evidence OF

lural labor of the country.SIt will likewise
beget an improvement and prosperity in the
mechanical arts, and in agriculture for the

which cannot fail 10 lead TO Improvement and
TO increase in wealth.
The objections oihe manufacturing system
in England cannot apply. with force in this
country. 1t may there woIk hardships, and
shorten life; hut here it need not. There the
population is crowded 10 oyefaowing; and it j:
difficult for the laboring classes to gain lIveli'
hrod, with the closest economy, and the sever.
est labor. From this cause.-the operatives are
taken at "a very early period,or life and forced

or diseased, and lOngevilSis greatly dirnin

In this country, the population is yet, ane

Of labor. This must in great measure, free

All is action, all is hetiOn,
In this mighty world of ours!
Like the current of the ocean,
Man is urged by unseen powers.
Steadily, but strongly moving,
Life is onward eveTmore;
Still the present is improving
On the age that weEt before.
Duty points with OutStretched fingers
Every sOul to actions high;
Wo betide the soul that fingers
Onward! onward! Is the csY.
Though mans form may seem victorious
War may waste and famine blight
Still from out the conflict glO5iossS
Mind comes forth with addeA light.
Der the darkest night of sOrTOmJ

Springs truer, nObler life.

Human progress none may stay;
All who make the vain endeavor,

Hints TO Young Men,

Be economical. No matter if your parents
are worth millions, it is not the less proper that
you should understand the value of money. and
the honest, honorable means of acquiring it,
What multitudes of young men, especially in
our cities, make fatal shipwreck of reputation
and health and eventually of property, by a
neglect Of this maxim! They are aware that
their fathers Obtained their wealth by habits of
industry, but they are ashamed of the name.
They forget that wealth in this country passes
rapidly from one to another, and thar he who is
rich to-day may be poor to morrow; or that he
who relies on wealth amassed by his father may
end his days in a pauper house. 1t is for the
young man to say, whether, by industry and
economy, he will secure competence and respec-
liability, or by idleness become a worthless beg.
gar and sponging ouIcast.
just. In the course of life man frequent
Iy finds his interest or his opinion crossed by
those from whom he had right to expect bet.
ter things, and young men are apt to feel such
matters very sensiby. Be not rash in your own
condemnation. Look at their conduct care.
fully, and be just 10 the motives that prompt it.
Y Iou may find that, were you placed in their po.
sition, the course you now condemn would Be
the proper one for you, and the one you would
be under obligations TO pursue. A little cool
consideration would avoid much consciousness.

LOOK TOWARDS THE LIGHTr--The sailor on
the midnight sea, if he would behold the star
that alone would guide him across the uackless
deep, must look not on the dark, troubled waves,
but at the clear blue Heavens.
lfthe sky is overcast, and the star is yelled
by clouds, he must turn to his compass. and its
needle ever true to the pole, will poin, TO the
star, though it be hidden from his vision.-
So we, tossed on many billow, if we would
see Heavens guiding light, must look not on the
waves of temptation, that dash and break
around, but above to God. Should darkness
and clouds gather in the sky, let US turn to the
Bible, and it will point to Him who shines be-
yond the clouds in unchangeing glory.
