southern Presbyterian church.

The Convention of the Southern members
of the New School Presbyterian Church
consisting of delegates from Tennessee Ken
lucky and Mississippi, at Murfreesborough,
Tennessee, in session recently, referred to a
committee, for consideration, the action of
the General Assembly late sitting at Buffalo
NJ Y, on the subject Of slavery. The re-
port of the committee strongly condemns the
uncalled for interference in matters that they
say do not concern the Northern Chruch.
So long as their brethren of the North and
West remain on the constitution, the South
ern Church will stand by and and with them;
but 1--WE quote litterally.) when they leave
that, they leave us. The constitution ofour
Church, it is contended, is founded on the
Word of God, and the Word of God
Distinctly and definitely recognizes the
relation of master and slave, as one of the
many relations of man to man, existing by
social forms under which society may choose
to organize and liye-as political institu
ton. with which it is no part the design of
the gospel directly to interfere
Thr report. which is an elaborate docu-
,ment, concludes with the following resolu-
lions:
1. We hold ourselves and the members
of the churches We represent, to be an inte-
gral portion Of the Presbyterian Church in
the U. States, and entitled to all the rights
and immunities of said church.
g In regard to slavery we stand upon the
platform Of the Bible and the constitution Of
the chnrch. which in our opinion nowhere
teaches that the holding Of slaves is sin
or discipinabIe> offence; thot consequently
the resolution passed at Detroit in 1850. de-
fining wherein it is, and is not. an offence,
Is unconstitutional, and Of no binding force.
8. That we shall look with interest to the
course that shall be pursued by the conser-
yatiye brethren Of the Northern and Western
portions Of the at the next General Assem-
bly, Whether they viii lend Us their aid
in preserving the the integrity Of the church
and arresting the course Of sectional agita'
ltion and settling the church on the basis
lofits standard.

DEMOCRATIC AND Vine PRosPEcTs IN
New. YoRK.- The editor of the Albany Reg.
lister, whose judgement is always sound and
reliable, speaks as follows Of the present
condition and future prospects of political
parties in the Empire State:
The self-styled Democratic party is ire
concilably divided. It's union IS impossible.
It is torn asunder not only BY conflict Of
principle, but by the bitterness Of domestic
hate. It will have three tickets in the field
The Independent Democracy has called 9
State convention to be held Syracuse. This
is the old Freesoil portion Of that party that
clings to the fragments of the Buffalo plat
form. The National Democracy, headed
by Dickinson and the Argus, VII have its
ticket, and the Radical Democracy. headed
by Marcy and the Atlas, will have another
# the Wing party, therefore. Is true to il
self, the question so arrogantly put by the
radical organ, land which we quote above,
will be easy Of solution. The Wing party
will carry the whole State ticket and The
Legislature

tory. The only man in the Cabinet who
combines the requisite discretion and abili-
lily for such occasions, Secretary Marcy, stay
led at his post, and the rest of the Ministers
were left TO pursue their voyage ofeloquence
without rudder, chart or compass. Mr..
Guthrie converts miscellaneous festive par
! ty, at Philadelphia, into Locofoco caucus.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis, at New York. bored
men of all parties with his diatribes upon
free trade. Mr.. Caleb Cushing, who never
lacks in ability for anything committed a
most atrocious crime against good taste, and
against the tone of the occasion, when at
New York, instead of directing his eloquence
to an illustration of the peaceful trimuphs
of Industry, he preached, in dicatorial man
ner, the most beligerent and fllibustering Of
discourses. Even this might have been toll
cradle, if our President had supplied the
deficiency. either by marked talent or ap-
proved judgement, neither of which he man
ifested. His sophomorical display of the
tar-spangled banner at Baltimore, his pro-
longed hifalutin at Philadelphia. his osten-
tatious parade of patriotism in New Jersey
with his entire omission, in every one of his
speeches, ofeyen an allusiou to the grandeur
of the Industrial Exhibition to which he was
given him permanent
residence on the level ofcommonplace, where
his Inaugural Message in March had prepar
ed his countrymen to believe that he belong
ed. It might have been supposed that the
scene at the Crystal Palace would raise him
to conception and style, corresponding in
some measure to the inspiration of the occa-
sion. But there he made failure oft: his
remarks were feeble and tame. The New
York Courier; and Enquirer makes a sug-
gestion that is full of thought to every A
merican citizen. Suppose Daniel Webster
had stood in his place. How would that
dome have resounded with an eloquence that
might have challenged the language for its
parallel; how every American heart would
glowed with pride as those words traversed
the electric wires, and were spread before
the eager eyes of every man that could read;
how they would have been translated into
all languages, and persued in all countries,
carrying every where the fame of American
art, and American labor and American elo-
quence. But Daniel Webster is no longer
upon earth; and the President is Frank

TIlc Pecrage fIl EngIamd.

| It has frequently been asserted, and al
frequently denied, that the Peerage of Eng
land cannot boast Of particularly ancient
blood. In the July number Of the West
minister Review, we find an article german
to the question. The particularly of the
writer in the Review mag be considered
to set the matter definitely at rest. From
this authority it appears, that, in 1928. out
of 249 nobleman, 35 ''laid claim" tohaving
traced their descent beyond the Conquest;
40 prior to 400; II to 1900: 26 to 1900.
At the same time 80 had THEN origin but
little before 100. It must be borne in
mind, however. that these descents are ira
ced Unfortunately through the male and
female line, and thatthe chief authority for
the antiquity Of many of these descents IS
but modern herald's pedigree.-In 1890
Sir Harris Nicolas made table Of English
peerage and proved that the ancestors Of but
one third of the body were of baronial or
even knightly rank, even so late as the reign
of queen Elizabeth. Nearly two centuries
ago, Dugdale, writing Of the Roll Of Battle
Abbey, said, that, out of 270 families, but
eight were represented in the direct line. and
but twenty four had left representatives in
any younger male branch.
The rapidity with which peerages become
extinct is very remarkable. Charles the
First created fifty peerages, of which all
but six are extinct. though but little more
than two centuries have elapsed. From
1884 to 1880, there were created 1876 peer
ages, of which "a had already become ex-
tinct, at the last of these two dates. The
of Northumberland is an illustra-
ton of the peerage. Three times the line
of the Percys ended in an heiress, who car
ried the estates and title to new families.
The last times was when the heiress married
Sir Hugh Smithson, the son Of an apotheca-
ry, the ancestor of the existing duke. The
present dukes of Buckingham represent
neither the original Stafford family. which |
had Plantagenet blood in its veins, nor even
the Viliers family, but the Grenville fami-
ly, of which Lord Temple. the brother-in
law of Chatham, was the representative a
century ago.
Within the last hundred years, the peer
age has been recruited principally from sue
ceSsful LAWYERS, politicians and merchants |
most of them being, however, what are call.
ed men of family, that is entitled to wear
coats of arms. Very few creations have
been made from among country gentlemen
Of ancient descent and good estates. Yet
he purest blood in England, heraldFically |
speaking exists among this class. After
Ill, however. pedigree is not much of a re-
;ommendation. Burns has well said
"The rank is but the guineas stamp
The mans the man for a. that"

DEoIryrrY OF R1vERs.-A yerY sllght

DEcIIvITY OF RIvERs.-A very slight de-
clivity suffices to give the running motion to
water Three inches per mile. in smooth,
straight channel, gives velocity of about
three miles an hour. The Ganges which
gathers the waters of the Himalaya noun
tains. the Hottest in the world, IS, at 1900
miles from its mouth, only about 800 feet
above the level of the sea-about twice the
height of st. Paul's in London, or the height
Arthur's seat in Edlnburg- and to fall these
800 feet in its long course. the water re-
auires more than month. The great riv-
er Magdalena, in South America. running
for / 900 miles between to ridges Of the
Andes, falls only 500 feet in all that dis
lance; above the commencement the 1000
miles it is seen descending in rapids and
cataracts from the mountains. The gigan-
tic Rio de la Plata has so gentle descent
to the ocean, that in Paraguay, 1900 miles
from its mouth, large ships are seen which
have sailed against the current all the way
by the force Of the wind alone-that is to
say, which on the beautifully inclined plain
Of the stream, have been gradually lifted
by the soft wind, and even against the cur
rent, to an elevation greater than that ofour

Mother.

What magic spell there is in the very
word; what a cluster Of associations hang in
rich profusion around the name. Mother is
a word which strikes responsive chord in
every bosom. and thrills through the cham
bers of the soul, awakening sweet echoes,
It wraps our hearts about with sacred re-
membranes in the early days Of youth. and
forsakes US not when many wintry storm
has bleached to Wilderness the venerable
locks Of age. When, ia the affairs Of lie.
misfortunes have crowded strangely about
us-When the bosom has been agitated by
contending emotions or torn, it may be, by
the bitter feelings of remorse, how soothing
to the heart are the fond words of sympathy
and forgiveness, as they distill in mellow ac-
cents from the lips of the mother. To the
wanderer in foreign lands, or among strang-
ers, far from the haIlowed associations of
youth, bufeting with cold aud cherries
world, how the remembrances of home, and
the bright, joyous face Of a sWeet-spirited
mother allays the throbbing anxiety Of
fretted heart, and brings peace to the trou-
bled mind. If fathers are looked up to as
the head of the family, for protection and
guidance, mothers are relied on for tender
ness and undying affection. If fathers arc
looked up to for the development Of noble
principles and examples of sterling integri-
ty, mothers are resorted to as the fountain
of true love and solid consolation. Amid
the stormy contentious and opposing factions
of earth-along the busy marts of commerce
where the darker passions Of men are made
to play an active part, chilling the finer SEN
sibilities Of the soul. causing the kinder feel
ings and sympathies Of human nature to
recoil in bitter disappointment upon itself
driving the man to seekrepose in. the sacred
retreat of home-then it IS that the mother
assuages the storm and relights again the
spirit of love and hope. The influence Of
the mother is as balmy, refreshing breeze.
floating over the fowery mead, and singing
ever so sweetly amid vine clad hills, shady
bowers. and along the banks Of gently flow
ing brooks How soothing is the soft witch
ing voice Of the mother, hushing to silence
the jarring passions Of human nature calm
ing the troubled and billowy ocean Of life.
and BY her power spreading all around US.
an enchanting scene Of loneliness. God
