MISSOURI.

There appears to be no doubt that the po.
litical treason Of Col. Benton has given the
Estate of Missouri to the Wing party, and
the curtain falls, therefore, indsrkness and
despair upon his setting glory. Here are
two public men, whose position for the last
thirty. five years has attracted a great share
of public attention, who have played great
games on the political chess board-Msftin
Van Buren and Thomas Hart Benton-whd
have both, in the evening of life, surren-
dered their respective States TO their poll
ticaf opponents, and BY this act of unpsr-
alleled treachery sacrificed, as far as they
could accomplish it, the generous and con-
fidng party which for so many years has
cherished, supported, and rewarded them:
The one is stakeholder, who has joined
the free soil party-the other, "s northern
man with southern principles" as long .as
he could secure the support Of the south;
and by these faithless acts both have confr-
med all the charges which their polieai en-
emies have brought against them in long
viable position which both will occupy in
our political history may be useful to the
generation which is to succeed US; and while
it exhibits in the darkest color the selfish
ingratitude Of two leading politicians, dis
tingnished in the annals of their country,
il will teach the aspiring politician that f.
deity to his principles and to his party is
the only true basis of success-the only
enduring monument of fame and charac-
ter.
Mr.. Benton and Mr.. Van BuIen, by their
in.rigues and proscriptive violence, dreve
John C. Calhoun from the chair of state as
the successor of Andrew Jackson; and yet,
If they could both at this day purchase the
honor and renown justly awarded by
whole nation to the dead statesman by tax.
ing his place in the silent tomb, it would
be an exchange which both might proudly
covei; and while evening frowns upon their
withered influence, and they both fall like
leaves in autumn, let them cast last ling
ering look upon the aged statesman and
patriot, Henry Clay, and learn from his
course-not always wise, but always honest,
true, straightforward and direct-that rep
utstion confers higher honor than power.
and fidelity brighter reward than official
influence and Patronsge.-[Noah's Sunday

IRELAND-7he HarCest.-Finer harvest
weather than that with which Providence
has blessed US could not be desired. The
reaping Of the corn fields is in progress in
Dublin and some Of the midland and south
ern counties. Samples Of new oats and
barley are coming in pretty freely at the
Dublin Corn Exchange, and the quality OF
both is described as excellent. In some
of the more forward districts the wheat
harvest has commenced, and it will becoma
pretty general before the middle Of August
There are all the appearances Of an early
as we'll as an abundant harvest, including
all kinds of crops; for it appears that the
injury to wheat is partial, and the yield in
general is likely to approach an average.
Up to this time there is nothing to war
rant the slightest apprehension for the pre-
sent immense potato-crop, and vast guam
titles are now consumed by the humber
classes.
The Potato BEghi-The Galway Vim
dicator and one Of the Limerick papers,
received on the morning of the Sd, renew
the disheartening reports about the potato
blight. It is stated that large portion Of
the crop has been destroyed 10 the Island
of Arran, and in some localities in the vic
Unity Of Lough Corrip; but with the exceP-
tion of these, the accounts received from
every part Of the country are in the highest
degree cheering.

WANT OF CouRAGE.-Sidney Smith, id
his work on moral philosophy, speaks in this
wise of what men lose for want Of little
brass, as it is termed:
ga great deal of talent is lost to the world
for the want of little courage. Every day
sends to their graves number of obscure
men who have only remained in obscurity
because their timiGity has prevented them
from making FIRST effort; snd who, if they
could only have been induced to begin,
would in ell probability have gone great
lengths in the career of fame. The fact Is,
that in order to do anything in this world
worth doing, we must not stand shivering
on the bank, and thinking of the cold and
the danger, but jump in & scramble through
rs we'll as We can. It will not do to be per-
petually calculating risks, and adjusting
nice chances; it did all very well before the
Flood, when man could consult his friends
upon an intended publication for hundred
and fifty years, and then live to see its sue
cess for six or seven centuries sfterwardsj
but at present a man waits, and doubts, and
Ihesitates, and consults his brother, and his
uncle, and his first cousins, and his particu-
lar friends, till one fine day he finds that he
is sixty-fve years of age-that he has lost
90 much time in consulting first cousins and
particular friends, that he has no more time
left to follow their advice. There is such
little time left for over-squsamishness at
present, the opportunity so easily slips g.
way, the very period of life at which man
chooses to venture, erer, is so confined,
that it Is no bad rule 10 preach up the ne
cessity, in such instances, Of little vio-
lence done to the feelings, and Of efforts
made in defiance of strict and sober caleu-
lation."

Prompts the heart TO like-or like not

Our impressions first are led
Into liking-or disliking-
Oft before word be saidi
Why should smiles sometimes repel us?
Bright eyes turn our feelings cclds
What is that which comes to tell US
All that giitters is not goldp
Oh--no feature, plain or striking,
But power we cannot shun,
Prompts our liking or dislikiDg,
Ere acquaintance hath begun.
Is it Instructor some spirit
Which protects us-and controls
Every impulse we inherit
By some sympathy of souls3
Is it instinci!-is j! nature?
Or some freak, or fault Of chance,
Which our liking-or disliking-
Limits to single glance2
Like presentiment Of danger,
Though the sky no shadow filings;
Or that inner sense, still stranger,
OF unseen-unuttered things!
Is it?--oh, can no one tell me,
No one show sufficient csusc
Why our Gkinss--and dislikings-
Have their own instructive laws?
