COIeridge.

The admirers of the "noticeable man with
large grey eyes," will be pleased to learn that a
new edition of his works is now in course of pre-
paration in N. York. The N. York Times says that
a new and complete edition of the works Of Cole
ridge is in the press of the Harpers. 1t will be
issued in six or eight handsomely printed vol
umes, under the editorial supervision of Profess
sor Shedd, of the University of Vermont.
Wonderful as was his faculty Of verse, and his
power in
" Unt,uisting the secret chords that tic
The hidden soul Of harmony"
in his well known poems, yet are his prose pro-
auctions filled with beauties as rich and rare,
and as full of fascination, as his wild rhymes of
Christabel, and The Ancient Mariner.
The Biographia Literaria is in itself trea-
suie-house, wherein he piled in prodigal profu-
sion of thoughts, fancies and facts enough to fur
nish the material for library Of new books.
He has been accused, plagiarising, or rather ap-
propriating largely from the German writer's, and
it is true that the goods have been found in his
possession; yet in the majority of such cases,
where his habitual inddolence did not intervene,
no so adorned and improved that which he APP
propriated, that even the original owner should
feel obliged to him for the adoption Of his bant-
things.
| CoLERIDGE was astrange compound of strength
and weakness. OF him it might be said emphati.
cally, that the spirit was strong, but the flesh
was weak, for turning from his literary creations
| to his actual life how sad and humiating the
contrast. His sins were more of omission than
commissies. yet of such omissions of duty to
himself and others as involved the highest
criminality. But his better part survives-he
left it in these legacies to posterity. If he
sinned, he also suffered, and even opium could
not ease his unquiet conscience for daily duties
evaded and neglected. His life truly written
would make a sadder tragedy than ever SHAKs-
PEARE writ. His most enduring monument
will be the works which strong inspiration
forced from his Incidence Those works have
stamped upon them the impress of the mind Of
a very great and very miserable man.

SOUTHERN CARRYING TRApE.-The Louisville
Journal is much pleased with the reduction of Erie
Canal tolls upon cotton tobacco pork, bacon, lard,
&C., and predicts that the results will be heavy
shipments of the articles by the Lake and canal
route instead of by New Orleans. The Journal
thinks that this will add much to the prosperity
of Louisville, and gives substantial reasons for
shipping by the Northern route. 1t says
Section and tobacco, under this tariff, can be
forwarded from this city to New York, through
shat canal, at about SIS cents per wet, while the
rates of freight paid for tobacco and cotton to
New Orleans from this and intermediate points
have ranged from "a to IS per hogshead on the
former, and I'll SO per bale on the latter, which is
nearly equal to the entire charge from here to
New York.
The time required for reaching the Atlantic
markets will be much shorter, and the rates o
commission and insurance less, by the Northern
route, and what is of some consequence the
climate does not affect the articles unfavorably
in their transit to tide-water. The policy of re
ducing the tolls is unquestonably good, 1t give
to our canal carrying trade Of great profit, ant
affords increased business for our forwarders and
boatmen at a season of the year when they hav
done the least heretofore.

THE WAY 1T WILL WORK.

II will place all the North on the side of free
dom. Suppose that in Congressional district,
where parties are nearly balanced, 500 Wings
and Democrats should belong to the league.
Both parties are then certain that to elect their
candidate they must take one who agrees with
the leagues on these points. Sooner or later
they will all do so. So of governor, so of State
Legislators, so finally of President.
1t will furnish bond of union and co-opera-
ton to genuine anti slavery men of all parties.
The pledge is no.voting pledge, and there
fore detaches no man from his party. The Wing
is not asked to vote for the Democrat, nor the
Democrat for Wing. He is only pledged to
abstain from voting when his own party can
ddate is an unfit one. Thus the anti-slavery
element is not taken out Of the Wing and Dem
ocratic parties, but is made efficient to bring
both right.
It will prevent political corruption among
| nti-savery men,
AS the league will nominate no candidates, nc
ambitious office seekers will have any motive tc
make themselves prominent in its movement
Nor can any charge of office-seeking be brought
against its active members.
/ IL will give practical aim to moral effort.
The object to be accomplished is to get new
signatures to the pledge, and new members tt
the league. But in doing this, the whole sub
ject of slavery and it's evils of freedom and hui
mainly and justice, is opened up for moral and
intellectual effort.
The above is a hasty sketch of the plan. III
details may have TO be altered. But it's mair
feature of no-voting pledge is the essentia
} thing, and by no means of this new movement
,mmenced, which shall not cease ill
