cBJRcH,s PICTURE OF NIAGARA.

Through the kindness of the gentleman in
charge of this wonderful work of art. VIC were
permitted, yesterday, together with several
friends. to witness 4 private exhibition of it.
The unanimous expression. Of the whole com
pany asscmbled-colnposed of gentlemen Of
been upon the spot-was unqualified praise
and admiration-indced. that the picture is
the greatest triumph ever achieved in that de-
partmcnt Of the painters art. The difficulties
attending a successful representation of the
Great Falls as Nature has arraycd it, must he
apparent to every one who has seen the sublime
original, and nothing short Of inspiration could
give to canvass all the power and magnitude
and sublimity which the wonderful and awe
inspiring reality conveys to the bcholdcr eyes.
To one who has never seen Niagara, it is
futile to attempt to convey m idea Of its ap-
pearancc or effect. The details Of its height
and extent, the force of its current, the i'm
mense volume Of its never failing flood, the
boiling Of its restless foam. and the ever as
cending cloud Of rainbow tinted spray, may be-
| wilder and confuse. but no figures or numbers
or word painting can represent to the mind the
awful grandeur Of the real. Even to those
who have witnessed and studied il. all human
hands can give but a faint picturc.) Such per-
sons can only look ut Mr.. Church's painting.
as a painting; but even in that light it possesses
an interest of great power and beauty, and
places him high up on the list of the landscape
artists Of his age.
The thousand acceSsionS with which nature
has dccked the desi9n Of her great work, are,
Of course, beyond the painters art, and can
never be reproduced. But. if it We're possible
to be placed. for awhile, beyond the reach Of
the laundering diapason OF its ever unsteady
swelling roar, and be so situated As not 10 per-
ceive the heavy rolling of its ponderoaS emerald
tide, cutting of every sense hut that of sight,
and then .ta:thtuiy represent the scene. no
more could be done by mortal hand, we hon
estlv believe, than the great master has already
accomplished in this great triumph which he
has achieved.
In Il picture so accurate, and possessing 50
many attractions, it is diiiicult to single ont a
single point to c%riticIse bat what struck rs
with most force was the manner in which sGr.
Church has represented the rapids above the
falls. Combining himself to about an inch and
4 half of canvass, he has given the truest touch
Of nature we have ever seen from Il painters
pencil. Thirty miles Of that wonderful stream
are thus dealt with in this marvellouSly narrow
compass. And pouring from their very source,
there come these raving pillows, rioting with
gigantic powers along the rocky shores until
they reach the awful cataract, where they seem
to plunge with majestic leaps into the boiling
vortex below.
We advise all who love the beautiful and the
true to 90. by all means, and see for themselves
what we have poorly attempted to describe.

the duty of that body to exercise. But the
advocates Of "expcdicncy" Ia word which be-
comes q f,lschood when employed in any ma
,ionsl SENSE. a. contradictory to, or inc9mpati-
hle with. a strict adherence to principle sug-
rest that the South has no longer q reasonable
ground for hope, that Congress will ever again,
in any contingency. exercise an immediate pro-.
lection over slave property in the Territories;
that although the Constitutional doctrine of the
equality of States requires equality Of protection
TO all property, yet, in this instance, actual pro-
lection has become impossible; and that by in
sisting on the rigid application of n rule of right,
the Democracy must continue, usclcsslv, to
pursue a barren abstraction.
Admit the premises, and we still deny the
of the General Government has become so ire
tricvably dcInoraliZcd that we can no longer
reasonably expect the due fulfillmcnt Of its
constitutional duties; still We deny that con-
tinued popular or party adherence to the prin-
Siplc which dictates the duty, promises to yield
no frui, Of practical benefit. A strict adhe'
renee TO principle, especially in the instance
under consideration, affords us the only means
Of prevention against still greater encroach.
mcnt on the rightful powers of the Federal
Government. involving equal encroachment on
the right, Of the States. We purposely cou-
pie together the maintenance Of the rlghttul
powers OF the Federal Government and the
maintenance of the rights Of the States.
There are many narrow sighted intel
lccts. which profess the doctrines Of State
Rights, and yet find no danger whatever 10
State sovereignty, except in the assumption by
the Federal Government Of powers not granted
bv tho Constitution. Like every one-sidcd
view of Il great subject, this mode Of thought
is not only incomplete, but invariably involves
its p~artiSanS in the very errors which they seek,
or pretend, to avoid. Thus it is that we so
frequently see protested ultra-S tates-Rishts
men running into the worst errors of Federal
ism. True philosophy is never ultra. The
mind which recognizes = great political truth
in its entire proportions.
