Mr.. CHoArE's LECTURE There was a large
aud respectable audience convened at Mechanics
Hall. last evening, to hear the lecture Of Hon.
Rufus Choate on Hamilton and Burr" He
commenced BY presenting glowing and patriotic
tribute to the character Of the Father Of his
Country" saying that " in all his lite never had
! he done noble deed, which earned him fame,
greater than in this, that in all his great life,
Washington never led. and never acted with
party. But at his death the age OF parties arose.
Jefferson and Hamilton, being the principal lead
YRS Of the two opposing parties, respectively, and
Burr ranging in the party with the latter. In the
of his lecture, speaking Of the distinguish
ed leaders of the revolution and their great works,
Mr. Choate alluded to the nobIest OF them all,
the Declaration OF independence, as " the lasting
momento OF all their virtues, which will forever
remain over their graves in magnificent columns
more lasting than bronze marble-the De-
claration Of ofIudependeRce-(ap applause Ia column
gased upon by us all every fourth of July of the
year, and a monument which speaks their glory
in filter terms than were ever craven or stone,
ana which fad their proper and appropriate tab
let on every American heart" Mr Cnoate con-
tnued on this point.
rhe speciallties OF eloquence and wisdom Of
James Otis, John Adams, Patrick Henry, Samuel
Alams, and Washington were all embod ed in
that Declaration. Yet we cannot eriticse 1t,
understand it, interpret it; love it, we can, but
criticize it We cannot l hold it for expression
almost unrvalled by the productions Of uninspired
men. l would not add to it if l could, or take
| from it single word would not ptch it on a
tune higher or a tune lover l would not alter it,
if might. in argument expostulaton, or epithet'
On the morning of every fourth Of July, it should
be read and medtated anew as the wisest expres
sion of our wisest men, speaking for Congress,
speaking for man. speaking for America IN her
sublimtst moment "
This exhibits a wonderful and most commenda-
bic degree of improvement in the estimate con
csysd Of that immortal instrument. by Nj.
Choste, as expressed by him year since in a
political speech, in which he termed the Declara-
ton OF Il dependence mere " mass of glittering
generaries''.
Mr.. Choate then proceeded to brief delinfa-
tior of the character Of Hamilton, aud Burr con.
trasting the two former with the latter in their
personal character.
Mr.. Choate has evidently lost somewhat OF his
former FIRE and bril- ancy in manner Of delivery,
nevertheless his lecture was very interesting

THIS SWEET BRIAR.-A correspondent inquiries
of us ~heiher the sweet bTiar 1.-THE wild upland

answer thatlt is not at all adapted to that pur-
pose. It never grows large enough to turn cat
tie, 'wsver hi ok hedge of it might be made
But there is still stronger objection to it, even
for fincy hedge. Like most Of the rose tribe
the sw4et briar sends up it's shoots from near the
root, making hle growth the Hrst year. with
olt branching or hD@ering. The next wear il
sends out side btauehes from each JOINT, which
h1wsr and prolues seed. rae next year or the
year, after these die down nearly to the earth and
are suseeeied b. the new shoots which are annu
s'v sent up. Thus, unless constantly and care
tu attended to-, t, cut out the dead wood
" ,ich must cost vast am unit Of labor and trou-
Bile, the hedge would always present an uusighty
appearance. II our correspondent would do as
we have DONE cultivate the sweet briar in his gar
den. he would soon be satisfied of the correctness
OF our opinion.

WEST COAST OF AFRIcA.-Seyra Leone, Feb.
IL Within the last ten days a very import

made war Oh tie Sooso chiefs, who were about
to attack Sierra Leone, and who had murdered
several British subjects. The expedition was
seven days absent, during which they burned
all the enemy's towns and killed between
three hundred and four hundred Of fther forces.

but the casualties on our side were but small

The House Immediately adjourned.
From YNnshEnston.

Among the distinguished persons in the
House, yesterday. were the British Russian,
Mexican and Dutch ministers. The only
members seat vacant was that of Mr.. Caru-
theirs of Missouri-sick.
Notwithstanding the result in the House,
the friends OF Lecompton are still confident
of ultimate success. They point to the fact
OF AZ majority against the rejection, as evi.
dence of the disposition of the majority
to admit Kanzas in some shape, under the
Lecompton Constitution. The Senate will
non-eoncur in the House amendment and the
Democratic calculation Is that the vote will
be very close in the House on the question to
recede from it. should this fail, the disa-
gfeement must go to a Joint Committee of
Conference, and on their report the question
will be presented on the fnality of the mea-
sure.

enormous quantity of nine hundred and

snuff dippers are included all ages, oolors, and

This practice is generally prevalent among
the poor whites, and is akin to the practice Of
