From the Boston Olive Branch
Be Polite.

There is but very little politeness about some men; are you of that sort? A really polite individual will always avoid giving unnecessary pain. He will not do an act that will injure the feelings of another in the presence of company. On the contrary, he will try to make him as pleasant as pos sible in strange places, and if he commits an error, makes false step, or does anything to excite the laughter of others, the polite man turns the attention in different chan mel, and makes the person feel at home again. You will always notice the regard for polite man. At church, in public as- semblies of any kind, on board a steamboat, or in a stage coach, he is respected and his company is sought. The unprotected, as by instinct, seek shelter by his side. And yet, how very few are polite. Every day the low bred and vulgar insult their neigh bors. In our daily walks how sadly def- cient of this rare quality do we find man. kind. Without large share of politeness person cannot become respected and be- loved. It is necessary to the discharge of a pastors office. It is equally so in the ed itorial duties. A polite editor will give no offence to his unlettered correspondents He will not quote his crude remarks, to bring him into contempt. He will not take advantage of his power to abuse and slan- der his neighbors. All will be treated civ lily and kindly by him. Politeness is rare virtue. Would 10 God it were better cul- tivated in the coarse and rasp-like natures of multitudes we could name.

Webster to vote for the insertion of the Wilmot proviso in the new Territorial bills, and against the bill of MT. Mason, concerning fugitive slaves. Mir.

EThere's Room Enough for All"

What need of all this fuss and strife,
 Each warning with his brother? Why should we, in the crowd of life, Keep trampIing down each other? Is there no gaol that can be won? Without squeeze 10 gain it. No other way of getting on,
 But scrambling to obtain it? Oh, fellow-men, hear wisdom, then,
 In friendly warning call- "Your claims divide-the world is wide There's room enough for al!'' What if the swarthy peasant find
 No field for honest labor, He need not idly stop behind,
 To thrust aside his neighbor, There is land with sunny skies,
 Which gold for toil is giving Where every brawny hand that tries
 Its strength can grasp living. Oh, fellow men, remember, then,
 Whatever chance befall, The world is wide--where those abide, There's room enough for all! From poisoned air ye breath in courts, And typhus tainted alleys, Go forth and dwell where health resorts, In fertile hills and valleys; Where every arm that clears bough Finds plenty in attendance, And every furrow of the plough,
 A step to independence. Oh, hasten, then, from fevered den,
 And lodging crampedand small; The world is wide-in lands beside There's room enough for all! In this fair region, far away,
 Will labor find employment A fair days work, fair days pay, And toll will earn enjoyment. What need, then, of this daily strife, Where each wars with his brother? Why need we, through the crowd of life, Keep trampling down each other! From rags and crime Columbia's cline Will free the pauper's thrall; Take fortunes tide--the world so wide Has room enough for all

Cure for a RingW0rm.

The editor ofthe Plough, Loom, and the Anvil, furnishes the following recipe, which he says is infallible for the cure of the ring worm: "Heat shovel to bright red; cover it with grains of Indian corn; press them down with a cold fiat iron. They will burn to coal, and exude an oil on the sur face of the flat iron; with which rub the ringworm, and after one or two applications 1t will be kih as dead as Julius Cesar"

The Richmond Whig, commenting upon the evident design of some of the loud mouthed brawlers about "Southern rights ; &c., to make political capital out of the present state of things, and 10 distract and weaken the people of the South, so that their partizan schemes may prevail, remarks that people must excuse the Wings, who have personal interest in the institution of slave ry, besides some regard for their party, if they do not Cooperate active y with them in their game of agitation and discord. It is very plain that many do not desire the union of the South half so much as they do the ascendancy of the Locofoco party. Certainly, Wings do not expect to be called upon as Wings to assail Gen. Taylor's Ad- ministration and the Whig party, and to bolster up Locofocoism, under the pretext of protecting Southern rights. And they will not do it. They will know how toI maintain and vindicate the rights of the South by their action, and, at the same time, support the patriotic and noble old Presi- dent now at the head of the nation.

PRETTY SrIFF.-The Massachusetts Le- gislature has passed stringent license law, prohibiting the sale of all spirtuous or fer mented liquor in less quantity than twen- ty-eight gallons, except for mechanical and medicinal purposes. It authorizes town corporations to appoint suitable agents for the sale of liquors, who shall be paid for their services from the corporation treasury. The penalty for infringement of this law is i'm prisonment in the county jail, or hard labor in the house of correction from ten to thir- teen days, $20 fine, and sureties to keep the peace for one year. For second convic
 ton thirty to sixty days imprisonment.

Mr. HilIiard and the Nashville Convention.


 MT. Hillard, Gone of the Representatives in Congress from Alabama,) in letter to friend of his, distinguished gentleman ot this place, (says the Tuskegee Republican0 speaks as follows of the Nashville Conven- tion and the slavery question. The letter is dated 20th of March:
 'As to the Nashville Convention, my opinion, as things now stand, is against it.. l adhere to the position taken by me last summer-that no Convention ought to be held in ddVance of some act of aggression on the part of the Government. The most the Legislature should have done, was to agree upon some clear, sensible, firm reso- lutions upon the subject, and empower the Governor, in the event of an aggression, to call Convention of tie People to consider the question in all its bearings: the wrong, the remedy.
 "I quite agree with you that there was no authority on the part of the Legislature to appoint delegates. Our friends ought not to connect themselves with it.
 'We shall settle the question. California will be admitted and the other portions of the Territory organized into Governments without the proUiSO."
 MT. Benton is likely to be sustained in Missouri, after all. The Wings have raI- lied to his support. He will probably be reelected, through their union with the Benton Democrats.
 Washington cor. ~. r. Jour. Com. The Wings will not be guilty of the folly of keeping any such company. Benton has disgraced himself, and the Wings have no idea of disgracing themselves by being tackled to his coat-tail. If we are not greatly mis- taken, the Wings of Missouri will give the Locofocos as handsome fight as they want; and if we are not still further mistaken, in the squabble between the two factions of the Locofoco party, the Wings will have everything their own way.

Dr. Webster's Eldest Daughter Lunatic

A despatch from Boston says, that the eldest daughter of Prof. Webster, was on "Wednesday confined as a raving lunatic Her friends were compelled, to save her from self destruction, to fasten her limbs The New York Express says:
 We hope there is some exaggeration in this, though it certain the wife and daugh. ters of the condemned must die a thousand deaths while he will die but one. God pity those who longest survive of the afflicted family, for the earliest gone will have the qucket release from anguish. If men could but see the horrible consequences of their crimes both to themselves and others before they are committed, it seems to us they would shudder at such wrong doing. In a case like that of Dr. Webster's, human sympathy, while it is most grateful, cannot relieve the load which weighs upon the heart. Pride is hurt, confidence lost, love misplaced, and an aching void is left which nothing but God and the grave can fill. One such terrible example as this ought to tell for all time upon the community as a warning from evil indulgence and unholy temptation, and yet we doubt, such are the paradoxes of mems constitutional charac- ter, if such trial does not rather increase than diminish crime. A morbid appetite for the horrible is gratified by records of crime which instead of prompting one to fly from evil rather grows by what it feeds upon and induces an acquiescence in the wrong we condemn. How true it is in re- gard to vice
 "We first endure, then pity, then embrace" The only safety is to shun the very beginning and appearance of evil.

A PosER-An Irishman and an English man, a Romanist and Protestant, were once disputing about their respective religions, and as usual when this topic is debated, they got little excited. Said the Irishman- "You belave in the Apostles. sur, I war rant me!" "To be sure do," replied the other; "and lave always done that to the letter as much as any man." "WelI, then," said the Romanist, "you must belave St. Paul was good Catholic, for didn't he write an Epistle to the Romans? Now list be after telling me, if ye ever heard of his writing any to the Protestants!" This was poser which the other was not able to re- but, and he very discreetly mizzled.

tune. In this effort, which is generally very shallow, all sorts of absurd stories are indulged, and the poor mortal who supposes that he is deceiving the world, and contrib uting to his own importance, too frequent y deceves no one but himself, and is only laughed at for his folly. Sooner or later, too, the bubble is sure to burst, and the in- Hated and conceited, instead of being pitied and sympathized with, is but ridiculed and derided. The pompous and self-sufhcient are generally the hollow anu unsubstantal, It is safe rule to doubt the man who as- sumes to be better than lis neghbors-bet- ter in wisdom, in purity, in integrity, or in patriotism. The truly meritorious are not those who are constantly prating their own perfections. Exaggeration in almost every condition of life, and upon all topics, is either hollow counterfeit or worse. Too often it is encouraged by example. Parents employ extravagant language in their in- tercourse with their children, or they per init or approve of the use of such language in early life. The habit once commenced, grows by indulgence. Innocent at first it soon becomes inxeterate, and failing to find sufficient food in the real things of life, it resorts to anUenti0n and thus soon degene- rates into scandal and falsehood. Simplici- ty is great beauty not only in dress, but in manner and in language. A fact modestly and plainly told, is far better than when adorned in extravagant terms, and so in- volved in words, that the reality is lost sight of. There is no beauty like that of truth. Once establish a character for veracty and reliability, and your reputation will be based on foundation not likely to give way under ordinary circumstances. Let your name and authority be associated only with what is TRUE, and youl character will be bright ened and adorned by one of the purest and most radiant of the jewels of heaven.

Georeia on the Nashville Convention.

The Augusta (Ga) Contitutiona1ist, an earnest supporter of the Southern Conven- ton, gives the thing up in Georgia. We copy few of its own worls:
 "The meager vote giver for delegates in the recent election is a virtual defeat of the Southern Convention movement in Georgia. So far as this State is concerned, we look upon it as dead and buried No exgency that might arise on the slavery question be- tween this and the first Monday in June can revive it. No eucnniy of anti-stavery legislation by Congress ought to induce the delegates voted for in Georgia to take their seats in that Convention. Nor should the delegates elected by unanimous vote of the Legislature do so. The action of the Le- gislature has not received proper endorse ment by the people of Georgia"
 In the Columbus (Georgia) Enquirer of April 9, we find the following decided and entirely rational views of the same subject
 "The election for delegates to the Nash vile Convention is over, and it must now be apparent to every man of ordinary sense that the people of Georgia desire to take neither part nor lot in that proposed assem- bly,. The past history of our State furnishes proof enough that her rights cannot be trampled upon with impunity. On many occasions of real wrong her authorities have bid defiance to the power of their oppress- ors, and been sustained by the hearts and hands of the people. Such will be the case again, when the hour comes to peril the peace and sacrifice the union of the country in order to save the rights of this particular section. Even then, however, we think it extremely doubtful whether it will be deem- ed important to send parcel of men to Nashville, or any where e SC, except to our own State capital, to teach the people the mode and measure of their resistance. On these subjects, indeed, they need but little teaching. Intelligent, watchful, and patri- otc, they stand prepared at all times, not only to vindicate their rights, but also to rebuke, as they did last Tuesday, the inso- lence of demagogues, and the low cunning of political underwriters.
 ''It was admitted on all hands that the proposed Convention would possess no pow CT 10 redress the grievances of which the South complain. Many regarded it as un- constitutional; still more deemed it inexpe- dient; and thousands on thousands thought that any thing but good would result from its deliberations. In short, there pervades the minds of the people of this State one universalan all-pervading feeling of sorrow and regret that the Legislature should, in inc excess of ifs fOllv have Uiven inc sanc ton of it's high authority to a measure of such doubtful and perhaps dangerous policy We make no particular quarrel, however, with the Legislature, but will merely sug- gest, and recent events have rendered even that suggestion unnecessary, that the great body of the people have no sympathy in political movements which may endanger the integrity of the Union, and cannot en- sure the safety of any particular section. Such movements are always regarded with suspicion, and will always be checked in time."

sweet words, kind remarks, pleasant
smiles, as she passes along-who has a
kind word of sympathy for every girl

and who never teazes her mates, nor
seeks in any other way to diminish, but
always to increase their happiness
Would it not please you to pick string

An Irish girl, apparently 20 years of
age, and franticalIy insane, was taken

noon. She appeared in the road nearly
naked, and waved an old shawl before
