Authority of Law.

The Salem (Mass.) Gazette foFcibly remarks that "eertain popular errors touching the funda- mental principles of society have been brought into prevalence by superficial and ineonsiderate enthusiasts, which need to be rectfed. The au- thority of law in republic does not rest upon the
 inherent correctness or justice of apartcar enact ment, but upon the social compact. The whole people are under an actual agreement, binding contract to obey and uphold such laws as may he enacted by their agents. within the limits of Constitution established by the whole people, Scarcely law passes without opposition based more or less upon principle; but when passed, and while on the statute book, # binds all. A departure from this principle involves the utter overthrow oi all the securities and privileges of society,""

short Dresses.

Mrs Boomer. editor of the Lily has adopted the ''short dress and tEowSes," and says in her paper of this montb, that many of the women ia that place, Seneca Falls oppose the change otherSalaugh; others still are in favor; "and many have already adopted the dress" She closes the article upon the subject as follows:
 Those who taink we look 'queer,' would do well to look back few years, to the tune when they wore ten or fifteen pounds of pettleoat and bastle around the body, and balloons on their arms, and then imagine which cut the qaeersst figure, they or we. We care not for the frowns of every fastidogs gentlemen we have those of better taste and less questionable morals to sus- tain us. If men think they would be comfortable in long, heavy skirts, let them put them on-we have no objection. We are more comfortable without them, and so have left them of. We d0 not say we shall wear this dress and no other but we shali wear tt for a common dress ; and we hope it may become so fashionable that we may weare it at all times, and in all places, without beng thought singular. We have already be- anne attached to il that we dislike changing to a long one.

Like everything from the pen of ihis truly learned man and practical citizen, the ogation on Calhoun IS finished production. Indeed, we might speak of 1t as a master piece, and worthy of the fame of the great Caronan, If any effort of the kind could be. IL was not a small part of the fortune of Achilles to find a Homer. Mir. Hammond, more than any other man m Carolina point of ability deserved the place vacated by Mir. Calhoun, and would, perhaps, have had II, but for Mr. Clay.
 Mir Calhoun stands Colossus in American his- tory. The shafts of envy and maiice could not harm him when alive; his memory, when dead, deies them. He stands
 As zome tall clid, that lifts it's awful form,
 Swells from the vale and midway leaves the storm; Though round lts breast the rolling clouds are
 spread,
 Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
 We have space only for a short extract from the oEation now.
 ''The genius of Mir Calhoun was essentially active, and evct looking forward to she improve me nt of mankind. He sought therefore earnestly the princIples and theo4y d movement that might be onward and unfailing, yet regular and safe In accomplishing thIs task. be sounded anew the whole sclenee of politics; he analysed the Consti tu,ion word by word, it's latter and its spirit; and studded thoroughly the workings of our government The result as. that he lifted himself above all parties, and became philosophical Ststesmsn-the only true and real statesman. And II was m the wild and exhausiscSs field now opened to hun. that he gathered those immortal lauFels whose ysndnFe shall delight; whose blossoms shall refresh bose food shali be iAe food of the latest poSterlty."

The Convention.

In another column will be found the proceed ires of ihis assemblage, for copy of which we are indebted to our nelgkbor Mr. Trousdale of the Gazette and Democrat. who in conjunction with Mir Warner reported the proceedings as secretaries. We rejoice that this meeting has ended so happily aad harrnOnioasly. and that the true Democracy yeeEe sufficiently interested in the result, to come from distant portions of the State for the purpose of declaring the sentiments of the people. For he manner in which business was dispatched, and tss determination of the Convention so readily reached, we are all much indebted 10 the talents and energy of Col Rust, of Union, and General siempsteatd of Pulaski.

Baking of Horses.

We have always looked upon the habit of baH- iag in the horse as incurabie. We have seen it lately stated that the Mexicans overcome fhis pro- pensity by the following kindly treatment. The driver approaches the head of the horse, pats him gently on the neck and head, speaking soothingly to him all the while; after few minutes, while the hcrse's suIky humor somewhat subsidies, the driver commences to blow gently up the horse's nnztrils which he continues to do for few min- utes, then psts and soo.hes him again, and re peats the blowing up the nostrlls, when. 1t IS sad, the animal will be found to have been sub dued. This is the plan, also, as stated by Cathn, that the Buffalo calves are tarncd by the Indians whether 1t will prove successful in eonquering this radical fault in the horse, we know not 1t. may however be worth triai
 So far as our experience goes, hadaess is one of the best coneetyes of bad habits, either in or beast and 1t may be that gentle treatment indicated above may be elicaclous. s.-Amerseaa Farmer.

Before the days of chloroform there was quack who advertised tooth drawing without pain. The patient was placed in the chair, and the instrument applied to his tooth with wrench. followed by a roar from the Gnpleasantly surpassed suaefer.- Stop" cried the dentist, |'compose yourself I told you would give you no pam, but only just gave you that twinge as a specimen to show you Cartrighrs method of opersting' Again the instrument applied, another tug, another roar. '' Now don't be impatient, that IS Dumerges way; be seated and calm, you will now be sensible of the superiority of my method" Another applica ton, another tug, another roar. '' Now pray be quiet that is ParkInson's mode, and you don't like 1t, and no wonder." By this time the tooth hung by thread; and whipping 1t out, the operator ex uitingiy exclaimed, '' this is my method of tooth drawing without pain, and you are now enabled to compare i, with the operations of Cartrgh;, Damerge and Parkinson"

cn,ifernia Fifty Dollar Pieces.

We had the pleasure of seeing. yesterday, if iy-dollar gold ptece, the coinage Of California, winch IS q beautiful and unique specimen of the ability of that infant sister of our coniederacy. It
 Is octagoual n its form, and the front bears the following inscrptIoE ." United States of America. Ss0 Thous. So D. e. 0a the reverse IS a rayed circle la star and around the edges, Augustus Humber, United States Assayer of Gold, 1851"

 thickness, the smaller 5eing about three Of an inch, and the larger, slx-tents."
 The coin $ heavy III its appearance, but taking
 it as an evidence of the progress of art Tn Calfor ma, we cannot entertain the least doubt Of her finally succeeding n the fine arts to the highest rank among her sister States
