Extraordinary Grand Jury Proceedings in
washington-ProbabIe Explosion OF the
Cabinet.
We give, elsewhere. very important tclegraphic
despatch from Washington, detailing the second
arrest Of Doctor Gardiner, On a new indictment,
growing out Of tie recent Mexican claims Il comes

the evidence thus for disclosed, on which all these
indictments have been found against the unfortunate
Gardner himself
believe that the origin and Of all these pro-
ceedirgs against Gardiner, arise not 80 much FROM
his conduct, as from very remarkable conflict
which has been going on for time between the

President, who is an honest man, is determined to
find xogt and show. up before the expiration
of his term of office Mr Fillmore, we believe, is
the principal master-ririt in bringing out these
strange develope ments and he does so because he
means to leave hewhite House untarnshed by any
improper transactions asfsr as his administration

The result of theae Investigations il they go on,

for endurance, and that the frequent occur
renee Of those suferings, made return to
the remedy likewise necessary. Doubtless,
many readers have followed De Quincy, as
we have followed him, through the thrilling
narrative Of his intense pleasures, and more
intense suferings, his extacics and convul-
sions, after Seventeen years use, and eight
years abuse" of opium. Does the reader
know what De Quincy means by the abuse
Of opium5 1920 grains of opium; THAT
is almost 5000 drops Of laudanum) per day"
How fearful the expiation was, We find in
those terrific dreams, so wildly portrayed in
his Confessions" In that "sea paved With
faces upturned to him-faces imploring,
wrathful, despairng, surging upwards by
thousands, by myriads, by generations, BY
centuries" In that burial, ''for a thous-
and years in stone cofins, with mummies and
sphinxes, In narrow chambers, at the heart
Of eternal pyramids" In those "cancerous
kisses Of crOcadiles," and that abode "With
all unutterable Shiny things, amongst reeds
and nilotic mud" How lasting has been
the penalty exacted for intemperance 50 fear
full may be seen in the shattered and broken
constitution, which, we are told, makes ex-
istence well nigh q curse to De Quincy.
We have introduced this hasty glance Of
Coleridge and De Quincy, in connection
with opium, because they are examples most,
frequently cited, and sometimes in excuse of
the indulgence. Surely, no man in a slight
degree acquainted with the subject, can fail
to draw but one conclusion respecting its
disastrous effects upon their happiness and
success. That they aOere successful, is due
not to opium, but in spite of its effects. If
any man possess the genius or requirements
of either, all the opium which the human
constitution can endure will not forbid him
an equal greatness. But if he trust to OPT
um to lead him to that summit of vision,
and that vast domain of wisdom, it is dan
gerOus experiment. Thousands have tried
the same and perished. Men but dream as
they think. Sometimes on higher spheres,
with clearer, brighter views, but still in the
, range to which their constant hopes and
thoughts are tending.

COLUMBUS MISSISSIPPI, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1852

-Ye women Of America hearken unto nv
voice cast ye off the skirts that ye have
worn, and make unto yourselves breeches,
whereby ye shall be known as free women
and not bondWomen. But the saying pleased |
them not; nevertheless, few gave heed un-
to her voice, but the rest knew not what to
do: as is the custom of women from the time
to which the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary, they lifted up their voice and
wept Then a certain woman from the city
of Incidence, in the land of Slovenly Hab-
its, rose up before them and said-It is a.
shame for daughter Of America to wear
breeches: but this do I command that we
make unto ourselves garments of silk and
wool and fine linen, like unto those worn by
our husbands, called in the English tongue,
Sacks; and then we shall be free from the
gaze of men when we go into the streets,
and to the assembly Of the people, and es-
pecially the idle fellows who stand in the
market-places and at the corners of the
streets, to behold US as we pass by; for men
do not like to look upon women ill-favored
and deformed; for behold when we put on
the sack they cannot tell whether we be old
or young, fair to look upon or blear-eyed,
and crook-backed; for behold it hangeth
like bag, and toucheth only on the shoul-
der; and besides this, if we have sack,
preadventure we shall not have need of any
thing else clean, because it coyereth all the
uncleanness of the other garments, and saw
eth much soap and toll; and moreover,
when the young men come to take unto
themselves wives from among us, they can
not tell the humped-shouldered and wiery-
necked from the well-favored and comely
so shall we deceive them, even as Laban de-
ceived our father Jacob in the matter Of
Leah. And this saying pleased them well
and they lifted up their voice and shouted
and made great tumult and every one de
parted to her own house, and made unto her
self and to her serving women sacks of di
vers colors; so that in every house, and il
; every congregation of the people, sack
. were abundant; and the men were pleased
; because it saved them their breeches, ant
they knew not the thing that was hiddeI
= therein, and were as birds taken in an evi
net And the daughters of America wer
, no longer constrained to attire themselve
. with neatness, for the sacks covered all th
rags of their garments, and all the deflemen
: thereof And no man dared to wag
y tongue against the custom, because it wa
the law of fashion, and whosoever spake +;
n gainst it was put out of the synagogue, an
? pronounced a heathen .man and an infdel.

LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.
CONCORD, June II, 1852.

CONCOhDy June ~ 4OOHs
SIR: A National Convention of the demo-
cratic republican party, which met in Bald-
more the first Tuesday in June, unanimously
nominated you as a candidate for the high
trust of President of the United States.
We have been delegated to acquaint you
with the nomination, and earnestly to re-
quest that you will acceptit. Persuaded, as
we are, that this Office should not be pur-
sued by an unchastened ambition, it can
never be refused by dutiful patriotism.
The circumstances under which you will
be presented for the canvass Of your country
men are propitious to the interests which the
constitution entrusts to our federal Union,
and must be auspieious to your own fame.
You come before the people without the
impulse of personal wishes, and free from all
selfshexpectations You are identified with
none of the distractions which have recently
disturbed our country, whilst you are known
guarantees and compromises. You will be
free to exert your tried abilities, within the
path of duty, in protecting that repOse We
happily enjoy, and in giving eficacy and
control to those cardinal principles that have
already illustrated the party which has Sc
lected you as its leader-principles that re-
gard the security and prosperity of thewhole
country, and the paramount power of its
laws, as indisolubly associated with the per-
petuity of our civil and religious liberties.
The convention did not pretermit the duty
of reiterating those principles, and you will
find them prominently set forth in the resO-
lutions it adopted. To these we respectfully
Invite your attention.
f It is firmly believed that to your talents
and patriotism the security of our holy Un-
f ion, with its expanded and expanding inter
ests, may be wisely trusted, and that amid
! all the perils which may assail the constitu-
a ton you will have the heart to love and the
arm to defend it.
1 With congratulations to you and the
4 country upon this demonstration of its exalt
! ed regard, and the patriotic hopes that clus
ter over it, we have the honor to be, with al
i respect, your fellow-citizens,

A Short Chapter on Sacks.

In the second year of thereign Of Millard,
whose surname is Fillmore, over the nation
that is called America, there arose strife
among the daughters of the land, about their
garments, for their hearts had Waxed proud
BY reason Of the prosperity Of the land, and
they said one to another, Goto now-let us
change the garments that our mothers did
wear, and let us make unto ourselves other
garments, of many colors, Of scarlet tand blue,
and purple, and Of fine linen, and let US make
them after the manner Of mems apparel, for
behold our husbands require Of us submission,
and If We continue thus to humble ourselves
unto them peradventure they will increase
our burdens and take away our rights and
make us bondWomen. Now therefore let us
show unto the men Of the land, that ne Be
not bondwomen, but free. And there stood
up one whose name was Susannah, The wife
Of james, aurnamed BIoomer, which being in-
