Wnether they are absolutely not, is of very
little Importance, They are new to most persons,
and few, 1t any, use them commonly. All the me-
tnods mentioned in your columns shorter, and,
what Is OF vastly greater consequence, being less
complex than those in common use, diminish very
much the liability 10 errors. To the most practised,
no trlflng strain of the mind, laborous and perex-
ing, Is requisite in performing the operation
persons perform it, and to those not in constant prac
tice II Is almost impossible to get through without
errors, sometimes of magnitude, and always embar-
rassing when detected by others.

generally adopted, would save in the aggregate, an
lncalcuable amount of labor and vexation. Mine

Sc bled on this solemn occasion to
pay tribute Of respect to the death
of our distinguished statesman and
fellow-citizen, Henry Clay, who de-
parted this life on the 29th ult., at

1t is with feelings of deep solem-
nifty, that attempt on this occasion
to allude to the life and character of
this distinguished patriot. The sol
emn STORYTELLING kuell has already
announced his departure, and the
deep sympathy which is now being
felt over our happy country tells too
truly that one is gone whose counsels
in our assemblies will be missed, and
who has SO long shone unsullied, IN
clouded, uneclipsed, as one of Amer
ica's brightest co nstellatious in the
galaxy Of true greatness.
1t would be vain for me to attempt,
with the time allotted ne, minute
detail of the many important events
connected with this great mans life,
and in all of which he bore conspic-
uous part. Time would be too short,

GREAT SCHEME. We see il sta
ted in one Of our exchanges that
the Legislature of Georgia has
granted a charter to certain capital
lists in Brussels and Antwerp, to
construct a railroad from Savannah
to Natchez, distance of about 500
miles. The money for its construc-
ton is to be raised by citizens of
&c orgia, Belgium, and England,
and the liability of subscribers
is limited to the amount of their
shares in the company. One of
the leading objects of this work
is to facilitate emigration. BY steam
navigation, the journey from South
ampton, Liverpool, or Antwerp can
be accomplished in fifteen days. but
the passage thence TO the Mlssissip>
pi through the Gulf Of Mexico is
difficult and dangerous, and ire
qufntly consumes a month. BY
me ans of The proposed railway 10
Natchez from Savannah, it will be
effected in twenty-four hours.

BURNT THE BRIDGE The wings

much as the Wing National Conven-

proves to be a mistake. On the I'd

nominations had been received in

vate advices, that MIR. Gentry said
he had nothing to retract; that he
chad burned the bridge behind him,

Our Ticket.

From every part of the Union, SO
iar as heard, there is but one re-
spouse to the nomination Of General
Pierce, as our candidate for the Pres
idency, and that il a cheerful and
ready endorsements full and une-
quivocal approval, of the ticket
The democracy, to b man, hail him
as the man for the emergency
very one, asst is proven, who should
have received the nomination.
They find him sound to the core on
tie slavery question. He is one of
the few men at the North who have
raised their hands ahd voices, and put
forth their best efforts, TO stay the
progress of the fanatical abolitionists,
in their aad crusade against the
rights of tie South! To him, more
than to any other man, is t9be
awarded praise for arFesting in its IN
Icipiency, that fell bosom Of destruc-
ton, free-soilism, which was making
a desperate struggle to gain footing
in New Hampshire, utter having
/
"stalked abroad at noon-day'
Throughout the Length and breadth
of tie New England States, almost
unchecked. For this reason, the
abolitionists are now rnarshaling their
forces against him they have al
ready denounced him as friend Of
The South-as one who is in favor q
sacred observance Of the compro-
mise, as fnality AS one who
spurns with loathing the "higher
law doctrine, and its progenitors
and defenders-as one who reveres
the constitution as the cornerstone
Of this great confederacy, and insists
upon its rigid and faithful fultilment.
Because he holds to this belief-and
we glory il knowing that he does
thew have turned their batteries of
biliipgsgate full upon him, and have
announced their determination to op-
rose him "to the death" But let
them come. The knowledge that he
is opposed by such disgraceful pie
bald crew, will prove one of his very
best recommendations the fact that
he is condemned and opposed by
them will serve but to incite the
American people to greater exertions
in his behalf, and an unconquerable
resolve to elevate him to the most
exalted station under heaven-the
Presidency of the United States.
But, one thing that we admire,
If possible, more than any other
about Gen. Pierce, is his manly, fear
less candOr. This is a prominent
trait in his character Whatever he
thinks, he speaks; and that, too, in a
plain, sensible manner, without any
pircumlocution for fear of the conse-
uuences. He is no Jan US, with one
face to the North and another to the
South he has but one set of prlncl-
pies, and they are as broad as the
Union itself, based upon the constl-
tuition and the laws, and given IN
such q manner that any one can IN
derstand them. When asked for his
views upon any of the great topics
which have agltated the country, heI
does not point alone, in dumb show,
to his conduct in years gone by, but
tells what his beliefis nog, That,
fer tie South, is the safe chart for a.
candidate to exhibit. Mutation is
written upon avery thing change is
