The TEMPERANCE APosrLE.-Father Mathew,
writing from Pensacola, Fla, gives a very ami
mated account of his labors for the last six months
Ills mission has been most abundantly successful.
Alter leaving New Orleans, early in May, where,
during the six weeks previous, he had received
fourteen thousand adhercnts, he proceeded up the
Mississippi, and having visited Donaldsonvlle
reached Natchez. Next he visited Vcksburg,
where Mayor Rock told him that he had instituted
a most rigid scrutiny the result of which was that
out OF seven hundred disciples, only three have
violated the pledge. Similar cheering statements
were frequently received by him from the Judges
and public authorities of the different States he has
visited. They say crime ia disappearing, and that
self- respect and moral progress everywhere fol
low in the train of temperance. Father Mathew
spent the midsummer months at the hot springs
of Arkansas, whence he returned in improved
health and spirits, and then week ut Little
Rock, Arkansas, and then proceeded up the Mis-
sissippi, to Memphis, where most cordial
thoriues, and the citizens all united to render his
stay agreeable. He proceeded from this to St.
Louis, which he reached ut the close of Septcm-
Der, where, during five weeks he administered
the pledge to over ten thousand persons. Among
these were large proportion of the young men
engaged in commercial and mercantile pursuits
He says he intended proceeding from st. Louis TO
Cincinnati, but the weather becoming suddenly
cold, he felt affected by the change, and fearing a
recurrence OF that severe attack, TO which remain
ing too long at the North exposed him, he, on the
unanimous recommendation Of his friends, and the
earnest advice of his physcian4, postponed his
visit 10 the latter city until spring, and proceeded
direct from st. Louis to New Orleans, (" route to
South Florda,'' where he purposes 10 pass the
winter months, and resume the campaign carly
IN March, when he will visit Nashville. Louisville,
Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Buffalo, and Albany, to
reach New York in August and, having termi
mated his labors where they commenced, will re-
turn to Ireland next fall-JIobile Register.

JUDICIAL DRoLLERY.-We have heard Of wag-
gerry the bench, from the terrible and cruel hu
enridge; but in our experience we have seen no
example ofthe combination Of fun and dignity that
ia sometimes exhibited by Judge Mcclure, espe-
cially when annoyed by the hair splitting of the
lawyers. The other day some case turned up in
which the truth was perfectly clear, but which the
attorneys seemed determined to keep out Of sight,
when his honor, apparently wearied out, remarked:
"Gentlemen, the object Of the law is unvei fact,
not to conceal it. If the defendants are charged
with having laid their heads together like three tad
poes it is not important as to whether their tails
were in similar juxtapostion' The earnestness
OF the learned judge ovcrshadowed his rather sin
gular imaginary.

SOUTHERN CoNvENTIoN.-Should a Southern
Convention ever have to assemble for the protection
OF southern rights. we think that the period has
not yet arrived and therefore dissent from the pro-
his letter to Langdon Cheves, esq. From a letter
heretofore published by General Hamilton this
subject we somewhat surprised at the position
which he now occupies. We took him for con-
servative and friend of the Union; but the inca
sure which he recommends would be the militia tory
step TO dissolution Of the Union. Why not let
things remain as they arc9 Shall the South assem-
bic convention to demand Of Congress guarap-
tees not already embraced in the Constitution?
Would such demand be granted? and if not grant

made, and drop the discussion of the agitating
question of slavery altogether.
