But the theological, psychological and philo-
sophical part with which the sentence concludes
we cannot comprehend. Does the Colonel wish
to state that Divinity and democracy are synon-
ynous, or that progressive democracy" is O
sort of political school. master abroad If he
does, how is he going to prove it, and if he
does not, what does he mean We have had
very respectable view of the democracy in oul
day, and never thought that they were much
more religiously inclined than other people
Indeed, if the democracy of New York city may
be taken as an example, we should say that
they plainly "diverged" If they don't, will
the Colonel tell us when and where they are
going to converge" and what the effect will
be when they do it
We have been told here that progressive
democracy meat &c Young America and that
Young America meant Cuba, Canada AND Cali
forna, the extinction of old fogysm and the
pursuit of manifest destiny But neither Soule,
nor Downs, nor Slidell have ever told us that
preaching and psalm singing were included and
that progressive democracy had for its object
the perfection of mans mental faculties, and
hat portion of his being which approximates
divinity" The progressives" here are ele-
waited only by the undiluted agency of old Mo-

CLOSING SToREs-We have lately received
quite number of communications with regar,
to the propriety of closing stores and offices il
this city at three o'clock on Saturday evening
during the remainder of the season.
1t is impossible for us to furnish space for the
publication of all these articles but we can in a
few words state their position and give currency
to their wishes
Under the present management of affairs
clerks in large stores and Offices are compelled
to arrive at o'clock in the morning, and with
the exception of about two hours and half for
breakfast, dinner and supper, remain penned up
until nine or ten in the evening. nitself alone
this is wearisome and fatiguing, wearing out
body and soul, exhslsting the energies and
leaving only some nine or ten hours for rest and
recreation. This is too little, and particularly
in warm climate like ours, where work is in
the highest degree oppressive, and where relaxa
ton is essential to restore the vital energies,
worn down by toilsome delving under sultry
atmosphere.
The merchants of NewYork, Boston and St
Louis, with praiseworthy consideration, have
agreed to close their Offices on Saturdays at three
o'clock; and it is hoped the merchants of this
city will not be backward in extending the same
liberality towards their own jaded employees
Those interested will at once perceive the great
good that would result from such a move.

Hon. N. B. BAKER.-We see that the New
Hampshire Democratic Convention, lately held
at Concord, has nominated Hon. Nathaniel b.
Baker for Governor of that State; and we see,
moreover, that great many wing papers
throughout the country, are congratulating
Col B. ON the occurrence. If there was the
slightest chance for the election of wing Gov
ernor in that State we should regret the present
nomination-as likely to lessen it. Inasmuch,
however, as there is not the fraction of hope,
and inasmuch as we, with a great many others,
have some knowledge of the sterling merits and
personal excellencies of the candidate, we Join
our congratulations to those which have gone
before, and hope that the Coloners Gul ernato-

WEDNESDAY MORNING. JUNE %, 1853
VIEW ORLEANS IN rDsU.WMER

The approach of midsummer in NewOrleans
begins to manifest itself quite palpably ard dis
agreeably to those whose circumstances compel
their sojourn here-who belong to the class jocs.
larry styledthe "Can't Get Away Club" After
all, the discomfort of such fate is more fancilul
than real, for when the pain of parting with our
friends is over and we settle quietly down to the
necessities Of our position, we are agreeably sur
prised to find our summer residence here the re-
verse of lonely and disagreeable. We find pleas
ant sea breezes, frequent cooling showers, de-
hghtful resorts, and people more sociahle and
genial than during the busy period of the season
when the mind is perplexed and the spirits are
oppressed with care and responsibility. Soon
we forget our errant friends or begin to wonder
that they should go so far from home in pursuit
Of health, comfort and recreation when our own
beautiful coast presents SO many advantages
and attractions--not to be found at any of the
famous resorts in the North. Where can they
get purer air than that which ruffies the
calm bosom of Lake Borgne, or find more lux
urious bath than in its mild bracing surfs
Where can they enjoy with keener relish ali
the marine Injuries, the lucious fish and oysters
than on our coast Sucn is the conclusion the
+" can't- getaways soon come to, and by the
time our truant citizens are worn down by the
sultriness of the North, they come back with
pretty much the same conviction But let us
not exult over them. Nor let them look too
happy and too pitiful upon our own long faces,
as with baggage Gnd other appurtenances they
hurry aboard of the steamboat or into the car,
full of bright hopes of unmixed pleasure and
enjoyment. Let their good by's'' be seasoned
with moderation, slightly tinged with affected
sorrow, SO that we may be able to accompany
them with our good wishes, without scntila
of that malice which some French philosopher
asserts mingles with the purest friendship, and
makes us find some satisfaction in the mstor-
tunes of our best friends. All that we demand
of them is to hurry back
The increasing Importance of our city its
rapid progress and growth the impulse which |
it has received in the last two years, demand |
larger employment of the means and energies OF
our citizens than have ever before been required
The immense business of next year will require
an earlier commencement of the business season
Now, that yellow fever has become an obsolete
idea in New Orleans, there can be no longer an
excuse for our citizens remaining from home in
the early fall. From the middle of August our
climate is delightful; produce begins then to
pour into our port, and commerce only needs
the presence of her agents to resume her full
sway. A short summer and early fall are. |
therefore, great needs of New Orleans; we |
trust they will be borne in mind by those who |
are now taking their flight Northward

MORALS IN BRluSH GUnNA-A late Dem
arara paper tells the following tales of crime in
that locality:
The records of criminal sessions show an
amount Of crime unheard Of in the history of
the colony; for, save the butcheries under mar
tial law, it has never been known in that coun-
try that five persons forfeited their lives in ex-
piation of violations of the law, of a character
so heinous as to preclude the hope of mercy In
two of these cases which have been tried in there
cent sessions, the accompanying circumstances
have been invested with diabolioal malgnity
which have rarely been equaled In the one a
woman, native of the colony deliberately
dashed out the brains Of her own child, because
from natural infrmity it was backward in the
development of mind and body In the second
coolie, in fit of jealousy cut his wife in pieces
with a cutlass, and maintains his right to do So
