offer the least possible resistance to the exc

Gov. Hubbard on Transcenden.
talism,

The following brief, but comprehensive para
graph occurs in a note from Gov. Hubbard to
the Tsmmany Society, acknowledging an invi-
tation to participate with them in the ceiebra-
fion of the fourth of July:
"Transcendentalism is. in these times, over.
leaping is original boundaries in the fields of
pcculative philosophy and of religion, and in
vading the political word. 1t remains to be
seen whether it shall be more successful in its
attempts to set aside the wise counsels and
measures Of the fathers of this republic and To
override the laws imposed by Providence upon
human society. than it has been in Germany
and elsewhere in perfecting the religion of the
Son of God, and adapting it to the necessities
of man. Our hope is in the common sense of
the democracy" ..--
That there is 4 characterization abroad in
politics. which threatens the body polite, is as
evident as that there is characterization at
work among our religious creeds, which is IN
sidiously incorporating into them vague and
visionary ideas of a bewildering, uncertain ma
ture. Its tendency is 10 overturn the estab-
lishsd order of a government founded by brave,
wise and benevolent men-whch has been
and which has hitherto been smiled upon, and
blessed by a gracious God 1t seeks to con-
troll human actions by something higher than
human lao, surnamed the la,o of conscience, and
which is as indefinite and undesirable as the
visionary Authorizations of its orisinators

OF strength in his latter years. Whether ma
ture atones for deficiencies by slow growth,
or whether the inferior faculty becomes stimu-
lated BY the action of those which are in ex.
cess, or by the direct efforts Of the individual
who is conscious Of his impsrfection. it may be
difficult to determine. But the fact il well
marked in the history of distinguished men,
Mr.. Webster reached his culminating point as
an argumentative orator more than twenty
years ago, in the celebrated controversy on null
LITIGATION with Gen. Hayne in the Senate. In
his speeches within a few years, there have
been passages not merely illustrated by Apo
site poetical quotations, but marked strongly BY
the ideal, creative faculty, and quite the oppo-
site of his more early displays. If to his other
splendid endowments had been superadded
the grand directing powers. and the lofty firm
ness. and moral intrepidity of jackson. what a
magnificent character would have been the re-
suit Of the combined action. But with all his
talents Webster is the weakest of American
statesman. He is small man of very great
talents. ,......t... .. I... "..

Cholera at the Canaries.

The following is an extract from an official
from the British consul At Grand Canary, Civ
ing an account Of this terrible fatality, and
which we fear is too true.
'Ou the 9Th, the sconrce broke m, :, fill
force. AT the time of the emigration If ,bose
from San Jose, the principal inhabi,an,, of The
city were escaping in all directions. On ,he
9Th and 9Th, the greater part Of them were on,
of the town, driven by the most horrible panic
To take refnge any where. Outof a popuIa-
ton of about 10 900 inhabitants, there did no,
remain upwards of 1000 on the 10Th for, not
only did those fly who could count upon the
means of support, but snch was the cousterna-
ton, that the distressed people who had not a
days sustenance at their command, wildly es-
capped anywhere they could fathers left their
children, and children their parents all ties
of relationship were forgotten, and nought but
the safety of the moment was thought OF.
Many were the victims of such conduct
The roads were soon covered with dead bodies,
and the disease seized lis prey in many of the
adjacent small towns and villages. Every ca
lamity now approached. On the 10Th, llth.
and 18th, the deaths were upwards Of 100 dali
ly. The hospital was overrnn with the dying
and the dead. Assistance was eagerly de-
manded by the few rational witnesses OF snch
scenes. but nowhere tn be tnund. Public
funds there were none. The wealthy inhabi-
tants had only thought of their own security,
and the paltry sum Of $500 that is said to have
been received FROM the provincial board ought
to have been expended in few hours. No
pen can give you an idea Of our suf1erings.-
Such was our state that the living could not
bury their dead before corruption commenced,
and the only remedy left was for the soldiers
to seize on any one they could find-some to
dig trenches, and others to hunt in the narrow
defiles and filthy huts for the bodies that had
been abandoned BY all connected with them.
This state of things continued with unabat-
ed rigor till the 10Th, the principal question
asked by those who still maintained any de-
gree of composure being. whether it was pos
sible To inter the dead and the echoing noise
in the void and empty streets, of the sledges
and carts conveying the naked bodies, covered
by few mats, made but comparatively little
impression, as the only anxiety was that they
should be hurried away. On the evening Of
this day this sad work was in some degree
surmounted, and yesterday some approach to
tranquility was evinced. This morning the
accounts are more satisfactory. The deaths
during the night have materially declined in
nnmber, and it is said many of thuse who were
in desperate state overnight show symptoms
OF improvement. t.-.
We have now what is called here lepantc,
being hot and dry wind the day is sultry,
but the sky is bright, and whether it be from
the propensity TO persplratlon or the dryuess Of
the air, there is evidently diminution of the
disease, aud indeed ii is time, for ii has already
carried off nearly 900, the the fourth part
OF thuse who ablded It's fury"
