We are pleased to perceive that our neighbour,

We are pleased to perceive that our neighbour,
the Enquirer, is seriously disconnected by the no.
tice taken of the dis crepancy between its views
of Mr. Seddon's course on the Compromise, and
the, unanimous endorsement of that course by
the Richmond Democracy in the adoption of Mr..
VIM. W. Crump's resolution. After quoting
some paragraphs from this paper and the Wing:
the Enquirer ngeniously strives to vary the issue
thus:
"The drift of all this is, that because the Democratic
party re nominated Mr. Seldom they opposed TO the
compromise; that because they voted him unanimous
resolution sof thanks they endorse every sentiment Mr..
Seldom ever entertained, imagined, dreamt, wrote,
spoke published; and that because Mr. Seldom is lin
their northernly infected opinion rank disunionist
therefore, perorce Willingly or unwItngly, the Dem
ocratc party are SO likewise
Ono-it was not because they voted him una
nmous resolutions OF thanks" merely, but be-
cause they voted unanimously that Mr. Seldom had
uniformly maintained the great principles of De-
mocracy, in all his public course, including neees
sarily his opposition to the Compromise measures
and his declarations that the South would be de-
graded if it should submit to them. Here is the
exact language of the resolution
Resolred That for the steadiness, zeal and great
ability, achich he has uniformly displayed, in the
maintenance of the great principles of the Democra-
tic Republican party we offer to him our unqualified
thanks.
We should like to have Mr. Crump's opinion
as lawyer, and Calhoun man, whether these
words do not signify that Mr.. Seldom, through
out his public career, has steadily, zealousy AM
ably maintained Democratic principles.
But, the Enquirer, not content with one plea
in avoidance, resorts to another that has no re-
lation whatever to the case. 1t consists in q
reproduction of Mr.. Fillmore's old Buffalo letter
of which he has long siuce repented, and every
obiectonale doctrine of which he has repudiated
not merely by professions, but by his official
acts as President. Until the Enquirer can
show that Mr.. Seldom is penitent for his ultra
ism in Congress, it can take nothing by this au-
thority. The Southern Wings would not sup
port Mr.. Fillmore if he adhered to the Buffalo
letter. The Enquirer defends Mr.. Seldom not
withstanding his counseling resistance to the
Compromise and his deliberate reiteraton of his
first opinion. But our neighbour, not willing
himself to endorse Mr.. Seddon's course (let that
be marked) says he takes 'shezter' under that
gentleman's motives which, are very good
excuse for his errors, but no sort of apology for
the imitation or approval of them by others
The Richmond Democratic meeting applauded
not only his motives but his acts. Can the En-
quirer?

INFLUENCE OF 4 SMIEE-It is related in
the life Of the celebrated mathematician,
William Hutton, that a respectable country
woman called on him n day, anxious to
speak to him. She told him, with an air Of
serenity, that her husband behaved unkind-
ly to her, and sought other company, fire.
quently passing the evenings from home,
which made her feel extremely unhappy,
and knowing Mr.. Hutton to be a wise man,
she thought he might be able to tell her
how she could manage to cure her husband.
The case was a eommon one, and he thought
he could prescribe for it without losing his
reputation as a conjurer.
1.-The remedy is a simple one," said he,
" and / have never known it to fail. III
tOqys treat your husband Nth a smile"
The woman expressed her thanks, drop
ped a courtesy and went away. A few
months afterwards she waited on Mr.. Hut
ton with a couple of fine fowls, which she
begged him to accept. She told him, while
a tear of JOY and gratitude glistened in her
eye, that she had followed his advice, and
her husband was cured. He no longer
sought the company Of others, but treated
her with constant love and kindness.
