"THE SECRET OF SUCCESS. There is no

"THE SECRET OF SUCCESS. There is no
more common phrase floating in the newspapers
than this the Secret Of Success" And, as it
is generally used to distinguish this or that
man of business or craftsmanship, or learning,
or arts, or mechanics, there is no phrase SO
misapplied With all such characters there is
no secret" at all in their success. Instead of
secret, their individual merit and open day bold
ness in every characteristic, which, becoming
matter of universal intelligence, takes firm hold
of-the public mind and enlists them friends and
patrons, are the true Interpretation ofsevery
mans success in his vocation.
True, there are many persons to be met with
who, falling into a common error, that there is
a secret of success, resort to many of the cum
ming devices of the day to win notoriety, under
the equally mischieyous impression that noto-
riety is popularity; but after all they have to
run the severe gauntlet of public opinion, and,
if they are not found to be the pure coin, al
ways come out with the mark OF counterfeit
In all the vocations of society, political, mill
tary, professional, mechanical musical, even,
this fact is apparent and applied. No man is
successful without merit-no man is eminently
so without possessing eminent merits.
Shurragar exhibits as much genius and bold
ness in his shears and needle, as ever did Tay-
lor in his sword, or Jackson in his pen, or
"cuoteI III hiS sPeecheS, VI "ehhJ hiiiu ~ MI
songs. The same public taste that decides upon
the great merits of the one will, with the same
frankness, concede to the truth Of the other.
There is truth, too, in the judgment of that
class of philosophers which decides that il mat
tereth not what is the vocation of the citizen,
whether of the sciences or arts, he who ID emil
nently successful is eminently great. When we
want battle well fought, we will look to Scott;
or when we want to hear the sweetest sounds
ear ever heard" we will call on Jenny Lind;
when we want to shine in coat which no other
can excel, we will wait on Shurragar.

THE ACTION OF SoUTH CARoLISA.-A eorre-
spondent of the Charleston Mercury publishes
plan of action for South Carolina, in the formo Of
an Ordinance, which, he says was drawn up by
distinguished citizen of that State, and intend
ed to be that of actual secession. 1t proposes
that the State convention shall declare the per-
petual and undisturbed use OF negro slaves .'in-
dispensable to the full development of the re-
sources of the staple growing States" that the
Southern States can make the world tributary
TO them if they have "no injuriously restrictive
import duties" that the Northern States being
deeply interested i'll manufactures, will not con-
sent to free trade, and, under the influence Of
false views of religion, humanity, and policy,
will not cease to agitate against slavery and,
possessing the numerical majority in Congress
and the electoral college, they are all-powerful
on those points; consequently, union with
those States is injurious to the South that
South Carolina is opposed to the Union, and de-
sires dissolution and Southern confederacy COM
posed of saveholding States alone, and would
promptly and gladly adopt any practical measure
for that purpose, but is restrained by the con-
viction thatno other slaveholdng State would fol-
low her example; and if the State did secede, the
non -slaveholding States possess the power and
the will to force her to submit; and, even If
peaceably allowed to go, she could not maintain
separate existence by herself with dignity
and independence. The writer proposes. there
fore, that South Carolina will not secede at
present, but that, being in hopeless minority,
she shall take no further part iii the General
Government or its councils. He suggests that
the convention shall enact fundamental and
perpetual laws prohibiting elections for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United States,
or the appointment Of electors for the same,
and for Senators and Representatives in Con-
preSs and yacatiup the seats of those already
chosen forbidding citizens to hold office under
the General Government, unless the office be
located in the State inhibitiug the State itself
from accepting any appropriation from the
General Government; imposing double taxes
on all the property in the State Of persons re-
siding in -slaveholding States, &C.

THE SABBATH AT New 0RLEANs.-It is gene
rally known that Sunday in this city is the
greatest day of the week for horse-races, plays,
and other sports. 1t is also the day on which
the great military parades take place. We per-
ceiye, however, by the following extract from
the Daily Crescent, that disposition exists that
it shall be great day also for such as desire to
teach and learn the truths of Christianity:
Parades on the Sa66ath.-We believe in the
largest liberty. If officers and men think the
Sabbath n suitable day for parades, we have no
disposition to interfere with their amusements
But then, on the other hand, we think these
persons should not unnecessarily interfere with
other peoples enjoyments. Yesterday, while
DR.. Neville was reading sermon to the Sunday
school children, band of music passed up
Dauphin street. and down Canal, giving the
congregation the benefit of very spirt-stirring
tune, which for time drowned the voice of the
reverend preacher, and distracted the attention
of the congregation Now, we suggest to the
persons having control of such matters, that it
would be an act of good breeding to avoid dis
turbing the religious services of any congrega
ton. This can be very easily done, as the
places Of public worship are not so numerous in
town as to put q military or fire company to
much trouble in avoiding them.
In hatcher, few years since, q military
company passed the courthouse with music
playing, while the judge was on the bench. He
instantly ordered the sheriff to arrest the cap
tain, gave him severe reprimand, and inflicted
q fine. He said the fact that military duty was
imposed by law offered no excuse for disturb
ing court.
The same remarks may apply with equal
force to the disturbance of religious congrega-
tions on the Sabbath.
We think the municipal councils might well
pass ordinances prohibiting such disturbance on
the Sabbath

A clergyman who had considerable of farm,
as was generally the case in our forefathers'
day, went out to see one of his laborers who was
ploughing in the field and he found him sitting
on his plough, resting his team.
"John," said he, "would it not be n good
plan for you to have stub scythe here, and be
hubbing few bushes while the oxen are rest
ing"
John, with n countenance which we'll might
have become the clergyman himself, instantly
replied,
Would it not be well, sir, for you to have
swinging board in the pulpit, and when they
are singing, to swingle little fax"
The reverend gentleman turned on his heel,
laughed heartily, and said no more about hub
bing bushes.
