MU sIoAL MADNESS.

Some young gentleman--we know not whom-inocu-
lated with musical madness-we know not why--has
taken to himself in the neighborhood of our Office ho
low stick bored with numerous holes and commonly called
flute On this instrument it is his delight to exercise
his lungs through all hours Of the day. and as long into
the evening % the mosquitoes will permit What degree
of meodous merit ne has attained is altogether unknown
to u.s. as the only indication OF his attainments is
tinued nevetsnding, shril sharp sound vibrating be-
tween the noise of saw sharpener and iewsharp.
Disappointed affection frequently drives men to extreme
measures and music is said to have soothing influence
on the soul Perhaps therefore, love is the cause Of the
incessant stream Of melody that flows through our win
dows like the whstling Of December storm II So the
love must have been as intense that Of Leander
Jonathan and become part and parcel of the utists
being
Love Of money, or, 1t is phrenologically styled
aequstivsne is powerful in the breasts of some The
large receipts Of Jenny Lind, Sontag Julien, Koepig.
Maretzek and Gottschalk have perhaps affected the
gnaton Of young friend and induced him to turn his
attention to the same golden channel If So he must be
remarkably fond Of gold as his perseverance in conquer
ing the gamut is beyond parallel.
Love Of fame s great incentive to exertion Apollo
discovered the Tyre and for long sges music has been
of the dominant institutions Of the world 1t has made
mortality immortal and carved names on eternal
monuments. Perhaps mehuous aspirant 10 dream
ing omusca aurels and the overwhelming applause Of
great audiences Ifso his love of fame must rival that Of
Cicero Sir William Jones, fer he beats their tins in
application 70 his pursuits well the time Of all the
tunes at which he practices.
There ore thousand and one reasons which might
account or bis industry and interchangeable auteblowng
which cannot give In the hopes however, that this
isvorabnoce Of his nascen efforts may reach the young
musicians eyes and heart We beg to say that until his
training reaches higher degree Of perfection should
be willing todispense with further efforts even though
they be voluntary The sound of the drnm at the auction
store and the pipe of Pan which he plays, vii
dering enhancing and absorbing, that mail clerk is
quite unable to direct the wrappers and the porter fire.
quenty forgets to bring the exchanges Demosthenss
practiced oratory in Solitude the Haa-shore Can't
young autia 60 down TO the lake and blow into hi
stick there we'll here 1t would be great relief as
well great novelty to the people round about here tc
lose the instrument for a few weeks.

RATHER FUNNY THAN OTHERWISE

We have looked carefully over the speeches
delivered ct the great Democratic ratification
meeting held on Canal street, as reported in the
Courier of the 10th inst, and have come to the
conclusion that the funniest part Of the per-
formanees was almost entirely unmentioned by
the press. We, among the rest, feel constrained
to plead guilty to the sin Of omission, We will
now endeavor to make all due and proper repa-
ration.
Well, whatiwas that omission? Let us see.
The American party was abused without stint.
Americanism, and all that savored of Ameri,
canism, was denounced in unmeasured terms,
And Mr.. Wickliffe, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, bestowed eloquent and deserved
praise upon certain distinguished foreigners
who assisted our forefathers through the revolu-
tionary struggle.
Not word did he say, nor did any other
speaker, about Washington, or Adams, or jeff
erson, or Hancock, or Henry, or Franklin, or
Harrison, or Pinckney, or any other of the
glorious old men Of the Revolution-who were
born upon the aoil-and without whose sterling
honesty, strong arms, unequaled sagacity and
great craftsmanship, the Declaration of indie
pendenee would have been bootless and bloody
farce. @
Oh, no Everything native was ignored and
everything foreign applauded. So we go. How
amusing.
This is what we consider the funny part of
the business. 1t is exceedingly laughab1e, and,
under no circumstances, should excite an out
burst Of Indignation.
Why Il Americans are SO poor in all that
pertains to honorable history; in all that leads
to thrilling reeollections in all that tends to
make one proud Of his country in all that
induces native and national respect-.in fine, if
they can find nothing of their own worth homo
rable mention i'll the annals of Christendom,
why let them hide their degraded heads in
shame, and keep the silence that best becomes
| them

Missouri SLAVERY CONVENTION. --The Con-
vention Of the friends of slavery in Missouri
met at Lexington, in that State, on the 18th q
large number Of delegates were present, and
after temporary organization, Senator Atchison
and Col. Doniphan were called on to address the
Convention They declined, however, and other
gentlemen addressed the meeting, expressed
themselves in favor of establishing slavery
in Kansas by all lawful means. The Conven-
tien having been permanently organized by the
choice of w T. Wood as presiding officer, reso-
lutions were introduced requesting the Legisla-
ture of Missouri to pass acts retaliatory upon
and discriminating against the products Of the
States of Massachusetts, Vermont and Michigan.
President Shannon, Of the University. by in
vitation, delivered an address setting forth the
scriptura1 arguments in favor OF slavery The
speeches were very ultra and infammatory.
Much excitement prevailed. Some propositions
were strongly objected to. The Convention was
still sitting at last accounts.
