Gen. Gass-on the Sabbath.

We learn from the Washington Telegraph
that towards the close of the late Congress the
session Of Saturday night was continued until
the Sabbath morning. At.the hour of twelve,
General Cass moved an adj ournment and offer
ed the following remarks:
Gas l am believer in the divine institution
of the Sabbath and | believe it is as wise in a
civil as in a religious point of view, never wil
in time of peace sit in the Senate on that day.
The State legislatures, and perhaps ourselves
in the District of Columbia, are passing laws
whenever necessary for the strict observance Of
the Sabbath. What kind Of an example are we
setting in this high place in desecrating Gods
holy day; by this work brought on by ourselves,
in consequence of talking instead of acting du-
ring a long session?-We desecrate the Lords
day by unnecessary secular business, and in the
most public and authoritative manner. This is
throwing contempt on that holy day, from one
extremity of the Union to the other, so far as
our example go. We ought to furnish
better example, and l. for one, will never sit on
that day in time of peace. l do not say l will
never do it in time of war, if necessary, but
viii never do it in time of Peace-nor willing at
any time.
The Telegraph says that for these sentiments
his country should ever hold him dear His
lofty patriotism won the applause of every par
ty, and such sentiments as those above, viii
tend to add new brilliancy to his fame

Our Flag upon the Ruins of Nine

Among the passengers, says New York pa
per, who recently left New York in the steamer
Baltic, for Liverpool, was Lucius D. Duncan,
Esq, OF New Orleans, and graduate of Yale
College. He has now started on a tour through
the Eastern world, and intends not to stop until
he shall have made his way TO the ruins Of
Thebes and the pyramids. Mr.. Duncan carries
with him miniature flag of the United States,
made Of costly materials, and also flag staff,
which was recently cut by President Fillmore,
At Mount Vernon, within fifty feet of the grave
Of Washington. The staff was presented by
Gen. Scott TO Mr.. Duncan, who has had it neat
" arranged in sections, after the manner of the
fsherman's rod, and placed in a very conve-
nient portable case, ready for the purpose to
which ii is destined in the service of the stars
and stripes. Mr.. Duncan means to plant this
staff bearing upon it the costly and beautiful
flag alluded to above, upon the walls of Nine

The Cuban Affair,

gentleman of intelligence, well known az
Washington, where he arrived on Monday. from
Key West, states that the general impression at
that and other places, was that the project for
the invasion of Cuba was not abandoned, but
that it was in progress and would be executed.
He says, too, that the prevailing belief was,
that fifteen hundred or two thousand men would
be landed, and would be a sufficient force, with
the aid of the disaffected portion of the Cubans,
to effect revolution. Such belief must ne
cessarily be founded upon the supposition, that
the Spanish army of twenty-five thousand men
are to be seduced from their allegiance From
other sources, the Government and individuals
at Washington have such information as indu-
ces the opinion that the expedition, weak as It
may seem to be, is TO go ahead, and We may
not be surprised at any moment, TO hear of the
landing of some of the invaders on the Island OF
Cuba; unless, indeed, they be intercepted By
the United States Naval force, or by that Of
Cuba

A resolution, in amendment, was offered by
Mr.. Orr, pledging the convention to abide by
the action of the State Legislature, whether Sc
cession took place, with or without opposition
from the Federal Government. A debate en-
sued, in which no new features were developed:
all concurred in the wrongs the state had suff-
cred and the remedy necessary, but differed as

action of the convention, they viii support it.
Those against the original report were Messrs.
Butler, Orr and Barnwell. The latter consd-

Southern States, the result would be finally de-

MeXIcO--Plots against the Govern
menf.

By the arrival at New Orleans of the barque
Charles s. rOlden, we have dates from the City
Of Mexico TO the 9Th inst.
1t is said that large and influential parties
are plotting for change in the Government.
One party wishes TO join Mexico once more to
Spain, and counts upon the Spanish troops and
authorities of Cuba for assistance Another,
party-that Of the manufacturing interests
trying quietly and slowly to get up feeling in
favor of the return of Santa Anna to power
There is still another party and not feeble
one, in favor Of immediate annexation to the
United States
The Mexican Congress was to adjourn the
18th of this month, but SO much unfinished
business remained, that it was considered ex-
tremely probable an extra session would be
agreed 70 by both houses. A motion had been
made to that effect in the lower house
SenOr Soto has presented law in the Senate
on the liberty of cultivating, manufacturing and
selling tobacco in the Republic The following
are the main features Of his project: The Is

piled to paying off the interior debt, and the
other half to the wants of the Government

place on tobacco an annual tax of not less than
$500 600, without charging anything on the
expectation of the article. The Trait Union,
and other papers, speak warmly in favor of the
project
The Ayuntamiento, municipal council of
the city of Mexico, has adopted a resolution.

per, wishes TO know what persons in Mexico
could speak with certainty of his morality!
The foreigners are by far the most respectable
class in the city of Mexico.

General Scott.

One OF the most striking specimens of poli,j-
cal desperation, is the attempt of the Blgir
County Why to prove that General Scott did n.t
write his celebrated Nativist letter; and the
manner in which this is done is highly chara,
teristic The letter was written in lS4I I'm, :,
ITS recent republication it was dated by mistake
IN 1913; and the editor relies upon the latter
blunder, common enough in newspaper offices
to establish the fact that the entire letter is
forgery. PHH&y7raian

Andrew Jackson.
instant.

| L. DARCY M'GEE, Esq, the able editor of the
-4merican Cell, published at Boston, has written
a work, which has just been published, entitled,
- \ History of the Irish Settlers in North Amer
lea, from the earliest period to the census OF
! l85O'-a subject which IS almost inexhaustible.
| 1t is fact that cannot be denied that Irishmen
have in this continent always been the gallant
soldiers of freedom. In every American war
their bravery has been manifested, and their
blood has been split. There were no Irish tories
during the Revolution; no Irish sympathisers
with Britain during the war of ID and Is /;
while the ranks of our armies in Mexico were
crowded with Irishmen. 1t is a subject for
profitable research to trace the progress of this
great and controlling race in this hemisphere.
| Denounced by the narrow-s -souled demagogue I:
misrepresented and reviled, they have estab-
ished their title to consideration, as well in our
past history. as in the present condition of af-
fairs. Among the other characters drawn by
Mr.. MGEE, in his interesting volume, the fol-
lowing portrait of Jackson will be found unusu-
ally graphic:-
The character of Jackson will be an histor-
lcal study for thousand years. His is one of
those angular outlines which almost defy time
to make them commonplace Like Sextus
Quintus, Columbus, and Cromwell, much reffec-
ton upon him does not beget the sense of dim
ness, but of substantially. We have blood and
bone in every incident of his life and every
word he has uttered. Truly it has been said
he was one Of the sincerest of men, Philoso-
piers might be puzzled at the rigid sequence of
his life and language, did they not know that
there are some natures which, founded upon
certain radical principles, only live life of
unity or of madness. jackson could never have
become inconsistent, unless he had gone insane
American national character has, since his
day, partaken equally of Jackson and Franklin
The Quaker thrift, the proverbial calculation
remains, but with it is mingled a strange and
potent elemental ardor, desire of territory. a
sense OF power, and a Spartan audacity un-
known to the revolutionary generation. The
Virginia presidents had the manners of courts
and the discipline of English Benchers The
man of the West, tough as the hickory trees
through which he often marched. was as
natural in his style, habits, and wants. as anv
hunter OF the prairies. When the white House
was threatened with mob, he dismissed the
naval and military officers who volunteered their
guard, loaded his own and his nephew's rife.
and, so prepared, the President of the United
States awaited his foes in the Executive man
sion. He would not use sheet of the public
paper; he allowed no lackies to attend on his
person. In small things and in great, he was
singular among great men; but all his singular
tiles when compiled, will be found to constitute
a grand original, and compact soIdier-stotes-
man..

The London papers say that there will be

necessary TO preserve the government or keep a
revolution from breaking out. In republics the
government is the people, and revolutions are
always accomplished quietly and peaceably at
