one great merit in the iady's ictions, that they
FAITHFULLY delineate life and mannors without
entering on vexed social, religious, or political
issues In India tho reader will find a vivid
dehneation OF the South w est. But this il MOI
All. The characters arcoboldy drawn, the in
cldents natural, and the action of the story ra
pa absorbing. The two heroines are fine

right, and perseYering to the end in whatever he

ENGLAND.

The official news of CRAMrroS's dis
m>>al has been received in England. The
London journals, s"cl as the Times and
Post, arc quite indignant, and demand the
immediate dismissal Of Mr.. DALLAS, our
Minister, and thus to force cessation of
diplomatic relations between us. Even this
step upon the part Of England would not
necessarily lead to rupture Of our peace
'ul relations. Did we take the tone of the
british press as an index Of popular senti-
mcnt, We might entertain weli-foundcd ap-
prciensions OF a disruption. This will not
''o for true criterion it is not always a
reflex of public opinion. We believe that
the great mass Of the English population
heartily desire peace. The reasons why
Eng'an'l desires peace, are multi;.rious.-
Her people arc essentially manufacturing
people; their wealth, their luxury, are de-
rived from this branch of industry; and
she is dependent upon our Southern staple
Tor her supply Of the raw material will,
which To keep her millions of looms and
sp'nd!es i'll motion. Indeed, the product
OF Southern slavery, though much abused
even in England, has and is now saving
thousands of poor English laborers from
that awful death, starvation, by atfording to
them the means of supporting life. Know
ing that in time of peace her chief source
OF prosperity is derivable from us; and that
IN time Of war, this channel Of her COM
mercc and her wealth will he closed, it
Is na'ural-se!l-intcres dictates that she
should make every honorable concession
before an appeal to arms. Believing that
large majority of her people are favorable
to peace, we dismiss all apprehcnsious Of
war.

Northern politician, and not an American
statesman. CAMrnELL, of Ohio, or his
compecrs, GlDDISGs, Of Ohio, SEWARD, of

You sec the State is infested with pseudo

you then suspend the building of State

to act her part in civil war begun in

Law, the claims of AFOREMENTIONED COLLEGES.
DC, measures which are thrust upon us TO
divide our people and make us an easy
prey to the hcllish purposes of Northern

Will you not get the State in readiness
to meet the AboltioniSts on the plains of
Kansas, and, if need he, TO anticipate the
disruption Of our Government, which will
assuredly come within few years?
The schools Of Il State or Commonwealth,
without State College to direct them,
cannot produce amy lasting goodwill
you not trim the lamps Of the State Col
l'Se, and weed out from among her guar
dams those who would work her ruin?
a school and college, like the tree anil
waters of enlightened freedom, is alike the
property Of the savage, Nahomc,lan and
Christian, irrespective Of their chosen rcli-
gion distributively.
