l'S guns.
This is a pretty formidable force, sufi
cient undoubtedly to suppress any i~nsurec.
ton, however formidable, put on foot BY
individual means, should they be able to
"face the enemy" But is it probable
to suppose that these vessels, or any Of
them, will be able to intercept the "bellig.
Grants" when they were reported under
sail before orders were issued by the Presi.
dent for the sailing of the United States
vessels.
The Compromise bills are still pending
before the Senate, and Mr.. Clay expresses
the opinion that there is great doubt Of
their final passage, owing TO the want ola
unanimity Of opinion of Senators, who were
calculated as friends of the bills. Be this as
1t may, one of them will pass, as is conf
IDENTIFY asserted by all-the bill for the ad.
mission of California.
In passing up the Avenue to-day, / nuti-
ced some ten or fifteen Senators and men,
bers of the House standing on the sidewalk,
in earnest conversation and strange to say,
there was not one from north of Mason a.
Dixon's line. This looks something like a
"Southern Caucus hastily got together.
/. On the twenty-first, Mr.. Soule, of Louisi.
ana, made an able and brilliant speech in
defence of Southern rights, He read the
first article of the Constitution of Mexico,
which establishes slavery by name, both by
arrest and debt, damages and costs, &c
1t makes free white persons slaves, precise
ly i'll the manner of peonage. This lifts the
veil from Mexican freedom, and exposes
slavery to view in all its cnormity. With
this fact before the country, can the dema.
gogues of the North say any thing about the
supposed enormity, or censure the South
for holding, slaves, when their condition is
tar superior to class of persons they en-.
tirely overlook. The question may we'll be
asked, is there a semblance of sincerity in
such partial philaaubaopists.
The President and his Cabinet are losing
ground every day, both in the opinion Of
Wing members of Congress, and the poo
pie at large. Both political parties ceusure
highly the conduct of the Administration in
allowing the Galphin, and other claims OF a
-
like nature and unless they can achieve
some great feat in political economy, and
by that means retrieve their lost honor, the
Dynasty will end without the regrets of
those who were instrumental in elevating
them to power. GRArTAN.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF INDUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady Engraved by
D'Avignon. Es

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi
Cal Sketches OF American citizens tho have become
ustrious in the service OF the country Every por-
ton Of the work will receive the most careful atten
ton, and nothing will be sparedto render il a worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re
public. ~ ~ w
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works art glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those Of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be ON
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose 3ix
This work has nothing sectional in its scope ; il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
Of those only are admitted, whose talents
and public services have for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each Of the great de-
partments OF life will have its representatives Art
and Literature are universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend OF our glorious Mon, win respond to our ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in so commendable an
undertaking, that its publication may make an era in
the progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
nstrious men Of the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly. s .iqi.
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most Of our citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit a large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following

public To that Work, to return thanks Tor the IN
variable indulgence which has smiled upon Its
progress hitherto, and TO express the hope that
this countenance will not be Withdrawn, now that

country They represent The highest literary
talent Of the South, and reflect truly with ma

| We entreat the people OF the South, who feel
the importance of such a periodical as the Review,
to excuse its deficiencies, and generously lend
themselves to its assistance. With their counte-
nance and concurrence, it can become the estab-

of our rights and character abroad--the guide and
counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste
at home-the arena in which the better minds OF
the country may always distinguish themselves
and find the proper provocation to execution and
performance---the wholesome authority TO which
we may always turn for the correction and re-
straint of crude and undigested speculation, These
are all objects of the last necessity to civilized
people, who have anything to gain by enterprise,
or any thing to lose by remissness and indlffer-
ence. Once more, we ask from the patrons OF the
Review, indulgence for the past, and such sym
pathy and support for the future, are due to the
vital interests which it faithfully serves, and the
character which it seeks to establish.
