Sir Walter Scott.

The Southern Literary Messenger for April has
. very able reply to the nonsensical attempt of
Mr.. Curtis, of Putnam's Monthly, to underrats Sir
Walter Scott as novelist We have read the ar.
ticle in the Messenger with great interest. The
following opinion of Macaulay, $50 beautifully ex.
pressed) which the reviewer quotes, will proba.
bly, weigh ~ much with the literary world as the
notion of Curtis:
"At Lincoln Cathedral there is beautiful paint.
cd window, which was made by an apprentice out
of the pieces of glass which had been rejected by
his master 1t Is SO far superior to every other in
the church that, according to the tradition, the
vanquished artist killed himself from modification
Sir Walter Scott, In the same manner, has used
those fragments of truth which historians have
scornfully thrown behind them, in q manner which
may well excite their envy. He has constructed
out of their gleanings works, which, even consid.
cred as histories, are scarcely less valuable than
theirs But truly great historian would reclaim
those materials which the novelist has appropri.
atsd. The government and the history of the peo.
pie would be exhibited In that mode in which alone
they can be exhibited justly, in inseparable con.
junction and intermixture. We should not then
have to look for the history of the wars and votes
of the Paritans in Clarendon, and for their phra.
seology In Old Mortality for one-half of King
James in Hume, and for the other half in the For.
tunes of Nigel"

We give elsewhere an account Of the frst
private execution under the new law. A negro
was hung in Bedford county, on Friday, the 11th
inst, in the presence of few people, instead Of
the motley and excited crowd which would other.
wise have been assembled. The gentleman to
whom the public are indebted for this benefcent
change in the laws, is Mr. johnson, the able Sena-
tor from Bedford, whose agency in the matter we
mentioned and appauded at the time. The NOR
nj effect Of private executions win be excellent in
more ways than one. The absence of all celia,
with which this criminal in Bedford was swung off,
will satisfy other criminals that there is not much
chance for them to play the hero at the gallows,
n some of them have done. Men hung here
after, instead of being followed to the scaffold by
q gaping multitude of Ave or six thousand admir-
ing souls, win be strung up in the jail yard in the
presence of only about dozen people, and have
their necks broken in the most quiet and business
like manner.

High Aspirations.

The Philadelphia Bulletin remarks that, OF late
year,, every other man seems to be aspiring to the
Presidency, and every other newspaper mentions
acme Tom, Dick or Harry, the lion Of some little
locality, but whom nobody else ever beard OF, who
by some inacrutable dispensation, has managed to
connect his name with the Presidency. The Bal.
ietin seems greatly disgruntlsd that the country
should have come to such pass, and that peace
able and unoffending citizens should be beset at
every turn by swarms Of political azaroni, hungry
for place and notoriety.
The Bulletin ought to regard the matter in 4
more philosophical spirit It takes all sorts of peo-
pie to make world. "Seme men are born great
some have greatness thrust upon them !" others
spend their lives in the fruitless pursuit of It This
il . free country, and every man has right to
aspire to the Presidency, or to the moon, be sees
At. Moreover, after some of the elevations which
have taken place to that Office there are few indi
viduals, however obscure, in whom 1t would be
presumpsuous to dream of the highest political ex.
altation which our institutions permit.
