Tact and Talent.

In capital book of essays and sketches now having its run of popularity in England, we find the following amusing f-hand poftraiture of tact and talent The writer recognizes the just distinction in these two qualities. Tact in its highest manifestation, we have always con sldered as only little short of absolute genius.
 Talent is something; but tact is every thing. Talent is serious, sober, grave and respectable: tact Is all that and more too. It is not a seventh sense, but is the life of all five. It is the open eye, the quick ear the judging taste. the keen smell, and the lively touch: it is the interpreter of all rddles-the surmounter of all dfiicultles-the remover of all obstacles It. IS useful In all places, and at all times; it is use ful in solitude for it shows man his way into the world; 1t is useful in society," for it shows him the way through the world. Talent is power-tact IS skill: talent is weight-tact is momentum: talent knows what to do-tact knows how to do 1t: talent makes a man re- spectable-tact will make him respected: talent IS weath--tact is ready money For all the practical purposes of life tact carries it against taient-ten to one. Talent makes the world wonder that It gets on no faster-tact exctes astonlshment that It gets on so fast; and the se- cret Is that 1t has no weight to carry; it makes no false steps-it hits the right nail on the head 1t loses no tlme--takes all hnts--and by Keeping its eye on the weathercock, is ready to take advantage of every wind that blows It has all the air of commonplace and all the force and power of genius. It can change sides with a heypresto movement, and be at all points of the compass while talent is ponderously and learnedly sitting sngl, point. Talent calcn- lates e'rlv, reasons logically, makes out case as clear as day light, and utters its oraces with all the weight of justice and reason. Tact re- flutes without contradlcting, puzzles the pro- found with profundty, and without wit outwits the wise. Set them together on a race for pop ularity, pen in hand, tact will distant talent by half the course. Talent brings to market that which Is wanted; tact produces that which is wished for. Talent instructs tact enlghtens Talent leads where no one follows. tact follows where honor leads. Talent is pleased that it ought to hay succeeded; tact is delighted that it has succeeded. Talent tolls for a posterity which will never repay it; tact throws away no pains, but catches the passion of the passing hour. Talent builds for eternity; tact on short lease and gets good interest. Talent is certain lv very fine thing to talk about, a very good thing to be proud of, very glorious eminence to look down from; but tact is useful, portable applicable, always alive. always alert, and al- ways marketable: it is the talent of talents the availableness of resources, the applicability of power, the eye of discrimination and the right hand of intellect

Horses Superceded.

A correspondent of the N. O. Delta, writing from New York, thus notices new vehicle:
 This is another project which is occupying some attention, and which is destined to occupy more before the lapse of very long period of time. One Is already completed, and has been used with great success. A friend of mine took ride in it the other day, of six miles, with much pleasure, and considers it perfectly adapted to the exigences of a city public ve- hicle This one is about three horse power, weighs 27OO pounds, cost $500, and looks like an artillery wagon. In fact, it is simply an ordinary locomotive tubular boiler on four wheels, and goes at the rate of from F to 15 miles an hour. This size holds six persons- It can be guided in and out of the intricacies of great thoroughfare with the greatest possible ease the only drawback being the terror which it excites in horses.
 Were it brought into general use, however. it is probable they, like every thing else, would accommodate themselves to circumstances after a time, and at any rate there would be less need of their services, and saving from the fright full loss of life which daily ensues from their wretched treatment. It would also afford a large amount of employment to machinists and develop the natural resources of the country to an incaiculable extent. It is rather singular that the originator is poor ignorant man, en- hrely unacquainted with scientific principles, and unable to explain the action of his own machine. He has neither tact nor shrewdness apparently, and whatever way his new inven- ton makes in the world, will have to be done on its own merits

delegates to the above convention. a
 VIM. B. THOMAS, Chairman of the Republican State Com. Philadelphia, June l, 1858.

InHddelphad, June l, 1S5S. In view of these things, we reiterate our as- sertion that there are, really but two parties in the country-the democratic and the black re- publican. He who is not with one, is to all in- tents and purposes, with the other He labors with them, if not for them, gives them aid and comfort assaults on the right while they attack on the left-strikes on the rear while they give blows in front. Yet in spite of all this fusion, democracy will again triumph, and this consolidation of its old enemies will only serve to draw the members of the party more closely together, and nerve them to greater deeds.
 As pendant to the above we copy some re- marks from all abolition journal published in Cincinnati. From its tenor, the reader would suppose that We are quoting from the Gazette of this city. His language on the subject of l Kansas is almost identical: He says, speaking of the union of the opposi- ton forces
 "Should this bond want enarging or strength ening, it may recieve the additional cord of re- proof to the miserable chicanery and monstrous imposition of Lecomptonism, which has deep CT meaning, and broader bearing than is in dicated by its merely local relation to the Kan sas question. It embodes and exempliies a principle of action on the part of the govern ment that the people utterly reject, and will never be brought to sanction.'' He then goes on to speak of leaders, among ! whom he classes Bell, Everett, Crttenden, Fill more and others, and winds up by saying: We are not sure, however, that the nomi- nation to the chief offices of the nation. of John J. Crttenden of Kentucky, and Wm Mont gomery of Pennsylvania, would not be respond ed to by the unanimous voice of the American people,"
 It will be seen that Fred. Douglass is preter- mtted to make room for Montgomery of Penn sylvania. There is policy in this, for their brothers in the south are not yet ready to swal.

SPRING WEATHER.

It shines, it rains,
 Then shines again, What does the weather mean? It hangs in doubt,
 The sun comes out, With drizzling mists between. Now dark, now light, Like day, like night, 'Tis changing 6ckle weather, It misss at times,
 Then rains or shines, And sometimes all together. Oh, now I see,
 It Is like me, A wise head and a dunce; l fret, smile,
 Then cry awhile, Then sometimes all at once. I pout, pet,
 We'll pleased I get, Both diligent and lazy; In my own way,
 Is such day, When rainy, shiny, hay.
