The Rat.

I have read pretty tough rat story in
he "Pcnny Magazine" but it is said to
BE- authentic "An open box" says the
narrator, containing some bottles of for
ence oil, was placed in room which was
seldom visited. On going into the ro m
for one of the bottles, it was perceived
that the pieces of bladder and the cotton,
which were at the mouth Of each bottle,
had disappeared; and that considerable
quantity of the contents Of the bottles had
been consumed This circumstance hav-
Ing excited surprise, some Of the bottles
were filed with oil, and the mouths of them
sec red as before. The next mo ming the
coverings IF the bottles had again been re-
moved, and part of the oil was gone. On
watching the room through small win
dow, some rats were seen to get into the
box, thrust their tails into the necks Of the
bottles, and then, Withdrawing them, lick
off the oil which adhered to them

A SilniIe.

We have often had occ sion to remark
while walking out in the evening, when the
snow has covered the ground, the peculiar
lightness shed upon surrounding objects
by the spotlcss carpet beneath and around
us. Even on the darkest night the infu-
cnce OF the snow is pcrceptble, and it seems
as a lantern TO our feet while the ght Of
the armament is screened by = vaporv pail.
Thus it is with the soul Of innocence
However lowering may be our fate-how-
ever dark our prospects or obscure our
destiny, when clothed in the pure and
Il spotted robe Of innocence, there is a
lightness-a checrluness to which success
full guilt is a stranger. The meteor of
pleasure may for a moment illuminate the
mind, or the flashes Of wit draw a smile
from the aching haart-only to leave it
more gloomy and benightcd than before
but the purity Of innocence can alone af-
ford that steady and serene joy, which like
the snow Eliminates our path with lustre
not dependant upon the common accidents
oflif2 and the general order of nature
'lll lal 'llcl may 'hc nlliAlC NC cAlSHueu
for as the snow covers up the roughnesses
in our path-the treacherous bogs and
dangerous pits, so does the guileless heart
Judge others to be as pure as itself; and
for lack of that cautious suspicion in which
the man Of the world is ever prone to in
dulge, it is often imposedupon by fair words
and spccious appearances. rs the snow
covers up the barren spots an mire on the
surface Of the earth, so does innocence gen.
orally look with an eye of charity upon
the tailings Of mankind, while to many it
is totally blind Suspicion is not the COM
panOn Of innocence, and when we note a
pelson who is very quick-sighted to detect
the defects Of others, we may doubt wheth-
er he is wholly free himself from error.

There is kind of sympathy in souls
that fits them for each other, and we may
be assured, when we see two persons engag

there are certain qualities in both their

ly thrown off his balance, but calm, collected, and
selfpoised Such n man is Willard Fillmore, and
so the Wings Of Virginia regard him. We say,
without fear Of dispute from any Wing press in
the Commonwealth, that the Wings of Virginia
have entire confidence In Mr.. Fillmore, and
would be glad to see him called directly by the
voice Of the people to the station which he now
occupies with such honor to himself and the
country
1t is not certain that thisisth prevailing sent-
ment among Southern Wings but it is certain that
the nomination Of General Scott is not acceptable
to them. We happen to know that the conduct
Of the Administration has aliensted some Of its
original supporters, both North and South. 1t is
suspected Of an anxiety to cOnciliate the support
of Democrats, by bestowing upon them dispro'
portionate amount Of patronage. Lately, while
some Wing clerks have been dismissed, and some
Wing salaries have been reduced, certain Demo-
Gratis have been appointed to Office and others
promoted. A general complaint here is that the
business Of several of the Departments is poorly
attended to-that there is unnecessary delay
and we are inclined to believe this true.
On the whole safe as this Administration may
be so far as Slavery is concerned, we suppose the
People will demand better reason for continuing
it, and that this failing, they will seek to replace
it by one more energetic, more business-like less
subservient to local and sectional influences.

neighboring republic, where the interference OF

jealousy and distrust
BEFORE concluding, must be permitted to say
a word or two relative to MIR George Thompson,
Of whose proceedings here gave an account In
former letter.
The visit of Mr. Thompson, like everything
else here. became at once party question and,
accordingly, that gentleman was attacked by the
Pa,rio, a paper that is published bare, and which
il opposed TO all that is liberal in politics or re-
lioiop-not as q public character, but as man ;
and he was charged with being actuated by mer-
cenary motives in his advocacy Of every cause
which. during his public life, he has embraced
This attack was condemned by the more infu-
entail portion Of the community, who had stood
aloof from the anti.slavery movement-not be-
cause they were not enemies Of slavery, but that
they considered it as an improper interference
with the internal affairs Of another country and,
had the Patriot confined itself to this view Of the
subject, they would have given it their support.
When the editor of that paper, however, resorted
to private attacks on comparative stranger, sew
eral Of its most influential supporters expressed
their disapprobation in no unmistakable manner
and DR. Clarke, formerly of the British army,
who had met with Mr.. Thompson in India, at
which time commenced q friendship which had
continued unabated during the last twenty years
came TO the rescue, and addressed a letter to the
editor of the Patriot, commenting with much Sc
verify upon his conduct, and vindicating the
character of his friend, very much to the salts
faction of the communty-John Bull being every
where lover Of fair play, whatever may be hi

The reader Of the debates on the Federal Consti-
tuition knows that they we're the result chiefly Of
the jealousy Of the smaller States, who we're afraid
Of being overshadowed by the larger ones; and
il happens that New York and Rhode Island were,
II possible, more strenuous in insisting upon the
adoption Of amendments, as checks upon the Fed
eral Power, than even Virginia and North Caro-
lima
One might suppose from the nature of the ten
ure by which the Shareholders claim their slaves,
that they would be extremely jealous of the Fed
eral Authority, ever disposed to restrict, rather
than enlarge its sphere; but Power, in its eager.
ness TO extend its dominion, does not always
provide for the security of present possession.
The greatest assumptions of authority by the
Federal Government, from its institution down
to the year 1880, have been made at the instance
and by the aid Of Shareholders. II was they who
planned, and carried, not by their own strength,
but by Northern alliance, the purchase Of Louis
iana-an act incontestably beyond the scope of
the constitutional authority Of the Government.
And who projected and effected the annexation Of
Texas-an act of similar nature7 Who plunged
the country into a war with Mexico, through
which the military power of the Federal Govern
ment-a power always of dangerous tendency to
the liberties Of a federative Republic - was
brought into full activity, in series of for
midable, aggressive movements abroad? Who
since then proposed to invest every postmaster
and collector of the United States with judicial
powers affecting the dearest rights of the People,
and finally procured the passage of law by Con-
gress to carry into effect an obligation imposed
on the States, and for the fulflment of which no
power had been conferred on Congress- And
who attempted to use the power of the Federal
Government few years ago to establish GEN.
sorship over the private correspondence Of the
People, passing through the mails1 We doubt
whether, if we except the case Of the alien and
sedition laws, there is q single enormous assump-
ton of power, of which the Federal Government
has been guilty, the blame of which does not rest
upon the Slave Power
After this plain exhibition Of facts, let US not
be told that to Slavery we owe those checks and
balances " which preserve the State Governments
against the encroaohments of the Federal Power.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Southern Patriot, published at Greenville,
South Carolina, announces that many OF the citi-
zens Of the State are preparing to leave 1t, un-
willing to take part in the revolutionary projects
in agitation. Capitalists are suspending their
enterprises; and In Charleston the owners Of
wharf property are willing to sell at sacrifice.
The Patriot says that the revolutionary party is
not made up chiefly Of large Shareholders, but Of
young men, who have little at stake, unnatUaiized
foreigners, and Northern men, anxious to demon
strate their devotion TO the South.
We observe that the more violent Of the news
papers in South Carolina are wondering at the
signs of lukewsrmness and vacillation among
many of the leading men Of the State.
Perhaps it will do no harm for the strength of
the disunion sentiment in the South to be tested
South Carolina has always been disaffected
member Of the Union, and nothing but the expert
ment of secession, we presume, viii satisfy her.
Judge Butler said his only fear was, that she
would be p4y@itted to go ont Of the Union peace
ably. This fear is quite unnecessary. The Ad-
ministration will not dare to tolerate the organi-
zation of an independent, foreign Government
on our Atiantic coast. we are reauy W 20 w
war with any foreign Power rsther than allow it
to coonize any portion Of the North American
Continent and is it to be supposed that the
American People will tolerate the establishment
of Foreign Power, as South Carolina would be
in the event of secession, upon their very sol?
Doubtless the People Of that State have the right
Of REVOLUTIONARY go have the People Of the
Union the right of self-preservation. Whatever
may be the original rights Of the People of South
Carolina, the Administration at Washington can
know nothing of them. 1t is bound to maintain
the Constitution, and enforce the laws passed in
pursuance thereof-and can recognise no other
law. South Carolina may declare herself out Of
the Union, but as the Federal Constitution has
made no provision for that event, the Administra-
ton cannot recognise or treat it as legitimate.
Its simple duty under the Constitution will be
to treat South Carolina as member Of the Union,
and to enforce the laws Of the United States
therein against whatever opposition may be ar
rayed against them. In plain words, South Car
olina will have to fight for her separate independ-
ence just as the United States fought for theirs.
On one condition only can she secure it-she must
