CraWfish Philosophy.

J. F. Ennis, ESQ., in his address at the COM
mencement of Georgetown College, tells story
about a certain band of Persian Magi the moral
of which is, that we should look backward, and
not forscard in our efforts to become wise and in
struggling to meliorate the condition of our race
His idea, it seems, is like that of our grandmcth-
er's,-that fashion. taste, industry. economy de-
cency. propriety and wisdom died with the last
generation! Like the cunning Mag in the story,
who we are told. were struggling for low pecu-
mary prize, Mr.. Ennis would have us look behind
while we press forward in through life's
course. and thus prepare US, like the blind lead
ing the blind, to fall into the first ditch CROSSING
our way This Darlington philosophy may dc
very well for children in their hornbooks; but
when gravely incucated by men. selected for Their
supposed intelligence as public mentors of our
citizens and youth, it is pitifully pedantic. and
grossly injurious to the progress and happiness o.
a free people.
Intelligent American citizens, are familiar with
all that was known to the ancents, and all tina
was acquired in the middle ages, together will
whatever has been discovered in modern times
then, why turn US back to the Egyptians, the Jews
the Greeks, the Romans, the English. the Amer
can Colonies, and our revolutionary fathers t,
learn our duty and become wise? Truth. wisdom
and success, lie in nature and things around ant
ahead Of us; and not in the superstitious teach
ings, vague speculations, and opinions and acts O
those who lived in less enlightened times.

81 am Nothing If not Critical"

Mr.. Fillmore says, 'the fame of our illustrious
statesman Mr.. Webster belongs to his country;
the admiration of it to the world" What does he
mean? What is fame is it a material thing that
may be confined to particular locality? Fame
is name acquired by great deeds alike in words
and actions. Did any body ever admire the fame
of great man? The deeds of men constitute
their greatness-fame is but the shadov. The
acts and words of Mr. Webster belong TO his
country; the fame resulting thertfrom belongs to
no one in particular, and it has already fitted
away into many distant parts of the earth.

The defeat of Gen. Blances, by the French
Count, is confirmed, and the latter has proclaimed
Sonora Independent and has annexed it to France.
The revolution was progressing everywhere.
Nobattle had taken place yet between General
-Urega and Gen. Velaez, the leader of the fede-
raj troops, but the latter is in fortified camp, and
had been summoned to surrender by Urega, and
it was thought he would be forced to do SO as his
situation was very critical, and but little possbi-
ity Of assistance being rendered him from the
Capitol.
The inhabitants of Gudalajora had received
Urega with the greatest enthusiasm. His forces
amount to near 1000 men. Generals Meser and
Rohelledo, had pronounced in favor of the plan
of Gudalajara, and had 1,1oo men at their com
mand yz5.
Judge Conklin had arrived at the city of Mexi-
CO on the l4th ult, but had not presented his Gre
dentials s
The Gardiner investigating Commtte had left

Congress had been in session a month, and but
