lNToxICATIoN OF THE EAR.-During the
hallucination produced by talking the Indian
hemp (CGnnabiS Hsdica,) the intensity of the
sense of sound is most striking. The cele.
brated Gualtier related to DR.. Moreau, in poet
ic language, which it is hopeless to attempt
to translate, so as to give an idea of the style
OF this imaginative author, the sensations
produced. He says that his "sense of hear
ing was prodigiously developed. l actually
heard the noise of colors-green, red, blue,
yellow sound, reached me in waves perfectly
distinct. glass overthrown, the creaking
OF footstool, word pronounced low, Vi
brated and shook me like peals of thunder
my own voice appeared to me so loud, that
dared not speak for fear of SCATTERING the
walls around me, or of making me burst like
an explosion shell more than five hundred
clocks sang out the hour with an harmoni-
Gus, silver sound; every sonorious object
sounded like the note of an harmonica or
the Aolian harp. l swan or hoated in an
ocean of sound" Such is the exaggerated
language which has been used by an individ.
ual whose taste and enjoyment of music have
rendered his criticism on that art so much
sought after.-JonpGl Of Psychological Medi-

without emotion the cruel servitude which
capital exacts of labor all the world over
There was time when canting philanthro-
pists instilled into us belief that slavery was
wrong. Investigation has entirely changed
the once common sentiment on this point.
The South now believes that a mysterious
providence has brought these two races to-
gether on this continent for wise purposes,
and that the existing relations have been mu-
tually beneficial. Southern slavery has ele-
waited the African to degree of civilization
which the black race has never attained in
any other age or country. We see it now ex-
lists in its true light. and regard it as the most
safe and stable basis for free institutions in the
world. Had the slave trade never been closed,
the equilibrium between the North and South
would not have been destroyed. Irrespective,
however. of interests, the act of Congress de-
claring the slave trade piracy, is brand upon
us, which think it important to remove If
the trade be piracy, the slave must be plum
der; and no ingenuity can avoid the logical
necessity of such conclusion. My hopes and
fortunes are indissolubly associated with this
form of society. feel that l would be want
ing in duty if l did not urge you to withdraw
your assent to an act which is itself direct
condemnation of your institutions"
Gov. Wise of Virginia, it is supposed, will
follow suit in long message recommending
the re-opening of that traffic, upon similar
grounds.

BfesaS. Editors:-In your issue of this morning

is 70 sustain vice, by giving the votes Of Wards
three, four, and five, which Wards he terms spur.
leus Of vice and crime" stating that they receiv.
ed a majority Of two hundred and nine votes in
these Wards. Let us apply his own argument TO
the last city government, which he supported,
and also 70 himself personally. We find by the
records that the last city government received a
majority Of tioo hundred and sixteen votes In these
same Wards And by referring again 10 the re-
cords, we find that d. +, Parker himself received
a majority Of the votes in these same Wards on
the fourth Of the present month for representative

DIsUNIoN AND THE SLAVE TRADE RECON-
NENDED BY SOUTH CARoLINA.-The Charles
ton papers contain the message of Governor
Adams to the South Carolina Legislature,
with regard to the recent presidential election.
Gov. Adams says =
"Our enemies have been defeated-not
vanquished. A majority of the free States
have decided against the South upon purely
sectional issue, and in the remainder of them
formidable minorities hercely contended Tor
victory under the same banner. The triumph
of this geographical party must dissolve the
confederacy unless we are prepared to sink
down into a state of acknowledged inferiority.
We will act as wisely to employ the interval
afforded by the late election in earnest prepa-
ration for the inevitable conflict.
The governor then discusses at some length
the slavery question, and suggests several
plans for extending the peculiar institution,
and for adding to its security, among which
is the re-opening of the foreign Slave Trade.

WoMAN's RIGHTs CONVENTION is in ses.
sion in New York. A collection of women
arguing for political rights, and for the privil
eges usually conceded only to the other sex.
is one of the easiest things in the world to
make fun of. There is no end to the smart
speeches and the witty remarks that may be
made on the subject. But when we serious.
attempt to show that a woman who pays taxes
ought not to have a voice in the manner in
which the taxes are expended. that a woman
who pays taxes are expended, that woman
whose property aud liberty and person are
controlled by the laws, should have no voice
in framing those laws, it is not so easy. If
women are fiji to rule in monarchies, it is dir
fcult to say why they are not qualified to
vote i'll republic; nor can there be greater
indelicacy in woman going up to the ballot
box than there is in a woman opening a legis-
lature or issuing orders to an army.
We do not say that women ought to vote :;
but we say that it is great deal easier to
laugh down the idea than to argue it down.
Moreover, there are great many things be-
sides voting that are confined to men, and that
women can do quite as well, or even better.
There are many employments which ought to
be opened to women, there are many ways in
which women can be made to contribute more
largely to their own independence and com.
fort, and to the general good of society," All
well directed plans to this end should receive
the support OF thinking men. The danger is
that conventions of this kind are apt to over
look the present and attainable good in their
efforts for results which are of less certain val
ne and far less practicable.
