fulfill their mission on cath and all wISdom Ole
with them, If they did not in some way commun'-
cate them to, a,world lying in, ignorance, but ca
perly sasping for knowledge. And with such prod
gies. Il is wonderful coincidence, that generally
IL is hard to ten, whether their thoughts are most
fred with erudites or sntrIiths. And in the con-
duct of those young gentlemen, we have often OBJ
served another oddity-a1d it is-that while they
freely clo,he their thoughts in the sacred language
of Scripture yet in what they say, they seldom re-
member the dscalogue or IFS iniunctions. M ,y-s
We are led to these observations by an Article in
Tuesday evening paper, clipped ftom the Wash
ingtou Sentinel and IepubliShed by the Argus with
grave comnendation. We like the editor of the
Arms much, and would by no means say anything
buTtful of him or be on bad terms with him. We
therefore ftankIy discliim all intention to include
him in our observations about young gentlemen
from the university or their idosyncrasies. .
Were The Sentinel and Argus in the habit OF re-
gariing the Wing party as a hDe party, we 90 Rot
know, that shonldiroubl ourselves or our read
ers with what the-we mean Beverly-it used to
be Bev. at,.ths University-says of. the Wings.
But We know. that whatever may be Beyetlys
omissions or commissions in the matter OF Scripturai
nunctions, he is too good classic, not TO adj
nit that he is bound to speak the truth OF the dead
1t is indeed {, notable moral law that certain ed
iturs now days, are continually saving hard, I'M
kind and umtrutHfuI things of The Wings, and yet
in the nsxt breath telling us t6eya are dead1-yeaT
as some of them will have it, doubly dead.
The Sentinel suys s:the Wings would make gov
eminent as strong as possible" greater depar-
tire from truth in fewer words we never did see.
Was Jackson's administration, OF Van Buren's, OF
Po.k's, or Piercss government Did the Wings
endeavor to make strong those governments
When Jacsson renioTedI The deposits, did the wings
in opposing him, propose TO strengthen the gov
ernment? When Pierce inter(ercd in New York
politics, was he weakening or Strengthening the
arm of government? When the democrats of Vir-
GINA proposed to give the of the State
the control ofthe Banks and Companies for Inter
nal Improvement, and the wings opposed it, which
was making the government strong and which
weak? The wings, says the Sentinel, and the Az
gus aPpFovesit it, would make the government as
strong as possible.". Do the above instances in
our history pIoveiR Men who quote Scripture

The Wings, says this Sentinel, "would neu-
tralize private enterprise and crampPtivate en-
ercy." Is this irue2 Is il not anything else!-
Whenils Wings propose to associate individual
capital and industry 10 accomplish that which can
not be done without them-namely-to make
road or dig canal, and the democrats propose to
take the money and the industry and also the
POtcer and control and the wings oppose separating
the money and the labors from the Contract, which
party is ersmning private enterpFisef so
But, adds This yerocious Sentinel, speaking Of
the Constitution and the Courts, the Wings would
concede powers not granted and DEMOCRATS would
not Here again lie is wide of the Truth, il history

the sins of Wings in this particular, affirm that
judges hsiing from the Democratic party, and Con-
kressmen hailng from the same quaIter, have been
more remarkable far gross stretches of power, than
Wings We do not judge by mems professions and
barren platforms and rssOlu,ipns-we look 10 their
acts-and soIooking, we repeat Democrats have

IRA distressing suicide took place in New Or
leans, a few days ago. a young lawyer of high
standing and attainment, both in professional and
political circles OF the name of Perry s. WaIfed,
was sick last summer, and, Gy advice of his phySI.
clans, took great quantities of opium. These
doses so effected his nerves and mind, that he has
for sometime been laboring under partial insanity.
A few days ago he was brought over from the lake,
and to be perfectly sane mind and body,
enjoying himself with his family, when suddenly
he was seen tosnatch his wi els scissors, and stab

as joke. But the doctor said ii was no Joke, and
demanded that he should be sent TO the hospital
