Keep il Before the People.

81 have hoped for, not feared the coming of the
Judgment of my constituents, though, from the
very inception of this measure down to the pres
ent hour, the country has been flooded with mis-
siles representing all who favor this particular bill
as in favor of the Union, and every sOutherner
who opposes it as opposing it for the purpose of
dsunion. Now, sir, when a respectable man shall
make that charge against me | shall answer
him. When any respectable man shall ever ac-
cuse me of being a disunionist, will answer him
in monosyllables At present | have no wish to
enter into argument to prove that false, which
| hope no gentleman will charge, and which my
whole life utterly condems. If | have a super
stition sir, which governs my mind and holds II
captive il is asuperstitiouS reverence forthe Union.
Ii one can inherit sentiment, | may be said to
have inherited this from my revolutionary father
And if cultivation can develop sentiment in the
heart and mad of man, surely mine has been such,
as would most develop feelings of attachment for

o. Thomas Hawk had many cares
Not cars. of those his share
And happy had he said his prayers,
Before he had one;
For leaping out when he WIS baulked,
his leg was broken-then cut--then corked
But Thomas in lie : may whiil

The editor of Western paper says that he has
three times put on clean shirt for the purpose of
calling on the Governor of his State, but did not
see him, and concludes an account of his disap-
pointments with the following notice:
1.-The Governoris is respectfully informed that We
cannot afford to make another such run on our
linen, and if we have the honor of making his
quantance, he will have no reason to complain it
We are not altogether in trim"

THE CoSsEouENcE.-A Lowell editor says:-
We passed the store of the man who don't ad-
vertse, yesterday. One clerk was cleaning his
dngers with the scissors, another balancing his
yard stick as he sat stleSsfy on the counter, while
he proprietor, with the same lugubrious express
ion that an unbreeehed urchin wears when be
irops his dumpling and the dogs snaps it, was
measuring out by PAGES the distance from one end
Of the shop to the other. Plenty of customers,
like the priest and the Levi;e, passed on the other
side
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald says there is no intention on the part
of the government to remove Mr.. Owen, the con-
sui at Havana, unless after full investigation, it
can be shown that he acted inconsistently with the
presidents proclamation in the case of the carde-
mas expedition.

TRULY SINGULAR.-What will The medical fac
uty think of the following, which was related to
us yesterday, as an undoubed fact, by one of the
oldest and most respectable citizens Of the State.
During the prevalence of the cholera this season,
member of family not far from his locality, was
suddenly taken down with the most violent symp-
toms of incipient Asatc cholera. The collapsed
stage of the disease soon succeeded, and in ft "
hours the victim corp:e. In day or two
after another member of the family taken and
shared the same fate; and thus The fell desiroyt
proceeded until six members of the same family
were consigned to tie bosom of this mother ear h.
What is remarkable about the above, is that three
| of these vivtims died while staying great dis
tance in the country whence they had gone for Sc
curity a straw bed, on which one OF them had
died, was taken out and emptied of its contents
number OF hogs belonging to the farm beddeG

ry one died. They numbered, in all, seven. W.

JOHN TAYLOR OF CAROLINA, ON THE WORD "NA-
TroNAL. "A phalanx of words have been enlist
ed to assail the painest provisions of the federal
constitution. Tie word national" is often made
an auxiliary of sovereign, y supreme, "ne-
cessary" and g convenient, " towards destroying
or relaxing the restrictions imposed upon cons
By the union 1t is contended that congress ms,
exercise national powers Where is this nation ci
which gentlemen speak Is it composed of %
(states) individuals only? so-J the States
n'dde the u'ston and II congress possesses no Fooc-
ers, ercett those bestowed By the union,-then the
term is only an expedient like that in using the
words sovereign" supreme" convenient"
and necessary" to convey to the federal gov
ernment recondcte. in the place of defined powers.
All these words being sufficient to convey 'ndef-
ne. instead of the limited powers really delegated
to Congress, why should we be led round the ra-
dn of circle to get at its centre, omnipotence?-
The premises being settled, the argument would
terminate in sy,logism, and put out of pain.
AS thus such thing is an act of power, con-
gress is omnipotent; therefore, it is within the
sphere of congress. 1t is not the same sort of
reasoning to say, such thing is act of sove-
reisnty, or natural; congress may do what is
sovereign. supreme, necessary, convenient nat
ura therefore, it is Wi hin the sphere of congress.
