mind, while disdaining all narrow and sectional
views, and has been alone among the monthly per
riodicals of America in defence of the peculiar
Institutions of the Southern States. To this Of
fee it will still be devoted, and will be prompt to
repel assaults upon the South, whether they come
under the specious garb of fiction, or in the direct
form of anti-slayery pamphlets. At this CRITICAL
juncture, while our enemies are employing ltera-
ture as their most potent weapons Of attack, the
Southern people will surely not withhold their

to strike blows in their defence.

readers with Reviews, Historical and Biographical
Sketches, Novels, Tales, Travels, Essays, Poems,
Critiques, and Papers on the Amy, Navy, and
other National Subjects.

the Messenger, the Proprietors, though they in
tend greatly increasing the size of the work, have
reduced the Price of Subscription, which is now
only THREE DOLLARS PER ANNUlI, IN AD-
VANCE, or Four Dollars if not paid before the

can or Foreign works of general interest and val
ue. The Editors opinions will always be honesty
and fearlessly avowed. sz-e-s

Held up your he'd with difficulty, and
How tremenjus you are now, I feel

To git down off tho fense, and git shot,

Before I'd see slit tore in ye, the sackrelijus

Niverous desperation by eatin whole nashun.

And make me skringe and hitch about,
And threaten to tare my Noase, and make me

THE WASHINGTON SPECTATOR.

YTyHE SPECTATOR IS PRINTED IN THE
i Quarto form, on double royal sheet Of supe-
rior paper; and is devoted to bellies lettres, and
scientific and miscellaneous intelligence. The
aim of the publisher is to make it welcome visi-
tor to ever household where sound knowledge and
correct moral sentiment can be appreciated
With this view he eschews all the senseless twad-
die, under the name ofliterature which serves on
ly to beguie idle moments; and strives to confne
the matter of the SPECTATOR, to that which will
leave useful impressions on the minds of its read
ers. Besides large weekly amount of matter ap-
propriate to papers purely literary the SPECTA-
TOR contains summaries of government doings in
Congress and the Executive Departments the
important news Of the day, foreign and domestic;
reviews of finance and markets; notices Of new
books, new discoveries in art and science; new
inventions, including weekly list of patents is
sued from the Patent Office; articles on education
on agriculture, business and domestic economy;
and candid essays upon the leading topics of the
day. ,....,.-l.
Though entertaining for themselves decided
views on questions of political economy and relg-
ious belief, the editors do not purpose to give to
the paper partizan or q sectarian character
The discussion of these subjects they leave for pa
pers established for such purpose At the same
time they reserve to themselve the right to expose
hypocrisy, and to oppose bigotry and fanaticism
in all forms; and Of offering, when they deem oc-
cason to require it, their opinions and reasons
therefor on seperate questions involving the inte
rests and vested rights of the people among whom
We are located, without thereby subjecting them
selves to charge Of violating any pledge.
One of the editors Mr.. Hayne, will remain for
the present, and probable spend most of his time,
at his residence in Charleston 8. c., an arrange
ment we think, better enabling him to furnish
matter of local interest to that section Of the Un
ion, and affordng some convenience to our friends
and those whom we hope to have for patrons, in
that vicinity. = za ss-es.-

weight of character and comprehensive opin-
ion belonging to Lord Ashburton. Amer
leans, who have any pretence at all 10

quainted, not with the constitution of Eng

generally its condition. But even Oxford
graduates are ignorant Of some of the most
prominent fac's connected with our mer-
camille, social and industrious life, as Peo-
pie; while the peculiar and complicated
working of our State and Federal Govern

of America is widespread and profound

In passing along Brady street last night
We were attracted to the building now used
for St. Lakes Church, aud found there a
number Of ladies and gentlemen practising
Glees and Madrigals. On inquiry we
found il to be the 6rst meeting of the "Dar'

just formed, consisting Of about equal mum.
ben Of ladies and gentlemen amateurs ana
that it was intended to meet every Tuesday
evening for rehearsal Of sacred and secular
music. The &, ntleman who had started
the society has been appointed conductor
and we learned that the society was 70 pc
limited At present to twenty-five members
of whom from twenty to twenty-four were
already enrolled. We need not say how
much the labors Of such a society, II judi
cisusly conducted and restricted to the best
class of vocal music, will tend to the cult
walton and improvement Of the musical
taste, not only Of its own members but oil
the general public, and We heartily wish 1T
the success which the effort deserves. The
number OF members can doubtless be doub'
led at once should the members desire il;
and we do not think they will act Judicious
" in restricting too much the admission to
the benefits which the society is calculated
to confer.
