Impartial Criticism.

We find the following just observations h the Washington correspondence of ths BaIti,nors Sun. Coming from a source neutral in politics, 1t carries with it additional force
 "The resolutions of Gen Csss 10 suspend diplo- Eaatic intercourse with Austria are strongly sup ported In the Senate and 1t gives me great pleasure to announce through the Saa that Daniel " ebster, whose Neg Hampshire table-tslk win live in the hearts of his connuymen when the bull in Presi- dent Taylors message will be forgotten, will sup port It cordially Austria, then, will be tried before the high court of Impeachment Congress of the sovereign people of the United States. !. A Daaiel come to judgment! yea, a DGniel. The ayes and noes will be had on the question ; and the answer wil be the best reply to ihe chilly announcement in the Inessage, that are GU ''an. cable terms" with Russia, Austria, Prussia, &c. "I charge you by the law,
 Whereof your are weII-deserving pillar,
 Proceed to judgment"
 It Is certainly singular that Mir. Clsyten's in- stFuctions to all ministers and charges abroad should have agreed tn one respectna1Iely, ito act with great caution sud circaSpection in regard to every revolutionary or liberal government and to consider themseves accredited only to the s0Herega of the country with which they were charged to maintain diplomatic intercourse." Our agent in Vienna did not proceed to Hungary, where his pre- sence would have been worth army of hundred thousand men. Our charge in Rome has been in- s,rncted to wait for the return of Plus K. Our minister in ConstautinopIe received no instruc lions how to act in regard to kossuth and his brave com paDions in exile. In short nowhere do " the stars and stripes" appear to have much as sym pathzed with the heroic efforts of the martyrs of freedom. Yet these ''striPes and stars' 10 the lovers of freedom throughout the world what the cross is to the Chrisan-lhe symbol of his living | faith-which will yet be borns in triumph In u fresh crusade against despoiisn Mr. Clayton looks | on all things as statesman of the regn of Louis XIV. lie represents the immovable, unfeeling, ab- stract government, and not lhe people of the Uni | ted States.
 But to pass from the sublime to the ridiculous, there occurs in Mir. Merediths report remarkable proposition iu regard to our domestic industry, which is this; "lh he cotton seed bears the same relation 10 the cotton which the raw cotton bears 10 the manufactured arIice;' in other words, as the seed is to the cotton, is the cotton 10 the l calico. Cotton, then, is what in mathematics Is casled Ia mean proportional between the seed and the calico. Continuing the same geometrica pro- gression we shall, Il corolary, have the follow ing proposition the cotton is to the calico, Is the calico 10 the frock With the talent of Swift, we might continue this sort of reasoning To a very interesting terminus. These important oiscove- ries in political economy, which will astonish Cob den and Sir Robert Peel. and put Mir. Meredith in the line of advancement over all former lheorizers"

The slavery question.


 While the whole country is so violently agitated by the discussion of this vexed question in Congress aud tine passions of tine people heaving ike turbulent ocean, we delighted to find occasion ally in the columns of some of our northern CO., tsmpOraries plain, candid and appropriated Opin Ion anpn the subject
 We make the following extract from the W ash isgton correspO adent of the Boston Post
 s.The different stages through which the slavery question has passed for the last two years renders it's settlement at this Juncture an imperative duty of Congress. It must be met now, if would preserve the peace and tranquility of the Union.- The south will not consent to have the question an loager sgiiated over their heads It deprecistes their property, and jeoparses the security of their persons. In a worJ, il destroys that. for which States and Governments expressly Instituted, aud diminisss in their estimation at east the price of the Union The agitation must cease if IL shall not destroy our domestic peace, d-precate the national credit, and perpex our commercial relations. Cali fornis presents herself with State constitution for sdmissioa into the Union Si,s has abolished sla. very and all invountary servitude within her terri tory. Caifor1ia will thea be admitted as q free State aud the question historically settled without reference to slavery in the abstract There remain now nothing but New Mexico and Deseret If New Mexico, now claimed by Texas, were ce6ed 10 her the slaves of the south would be divided by an impeneirable waste-a barren desert from the free State of California. or the two States iato which the latter may be divided. There would then be solution of the question which, while 1t would appear reaso nabe la the abstract, would at the same time convey to the south the sentiment of justice. without which no confederacy will ever prosper or prove permanent. Non-iuterference with the question of slavery is all the south ask at our hands and they have really to bear all the evils of slavery, it seems but reasonable that they should be grati6ed.'

WOMAN.-.By yvm. Leggett.

No star in yonder sky that shines
 Gan light like wonan's eye impsrt; The earth holds not in all its mines,
 A gem so rich as woman's heart Her voice ia like the music sweet
 Poured out from airy harp alone; Like that when storms more loudly beat, It yields clearer, richer tone. And woman's love's holy light.
 That brighter, brighter burns for aye {; Years cannot dim its radiance bright,
 Nor even faIsehood quench its ray: But like the star of Bethlehem, of old to israel's shepherds given, It marshais with it's steady flame
 The erring soul of man to heaven.

 To which he replies in the New York Sunday Times--noihng beyond what painting has eivea us of the representation of the serpent. We have abundant conjeetures of ancieat and modern phil osOphers. but oaiy con nectures and of liiile value The impression is that the serpent had the power of changing its appearance, complexion, and charac- ter. Dc Lyra indalged in the idle conceit that Il assumed the face of fair virgu; EagahIaes thu that the serpent was bssslisk; Deirio, a viper; Petrus Comestor conteDded that the serpent walk ed upright like a man; and Dr. Adam Clarke consid- cred the serpent to have been creature of the ape or ourang outsng kind. Our impression is, iha, there outward visible form prese nt when the forbidden frsit was eaten. The serpeat which temp ted Eve 10 do wrong is the same serpent which tempts us all at this ume to do what Is not right

King WitIaf's Drinking Horn.
BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.

Witlaf. king of the Saxous. Ere yet his last he breathed, To the merry monks of Croyiand
 His drinking horn bequeathed. That whenever they sat at their revals, And drank from the golden bowl, They might remember the donor, And breathe prayer for his soul. So sat they once at Christmas,
 And hade the goblet puss In their boards the red wine glistened Like dew-drops in the grass. They drank 10 the soul of WitIaf, They drank to Christ inc Lord, And to each of the Twelve Apostles, Who had preached His holy word They drank to the Saints and Martyrs Ofthe dismal days of yore, A nd as soon as the horn was empty, They remembered one Saint more. And the Reader droued from the pulpit, Like the murmar of many bees. The legend of good Saint Guthlac, Aud Saint Basil's homiies. Till the great bells of the convent,
 From their prison in the tower, Gnthlac and barthoiomeus,
 Proclaimed the midnight hour. And the Yule log cracked m the chimney Aud the Abhot bowed his head, And iEe fameiet Tapped and fiickered, But the Abbot was stark and dead. Yet, still in his paiid fingers
 He ciutched the golden bowl, In which, like pearl dissolving.
 Had sunk aud dissolved his soul. But not for this their reyrls
 The jovial monks forbofe, For they cried, " Fill high the goblet. We must drink to one Saint lnoren'
