The Brain and the Mental Faculties.

If we investigate the condition of the
various orders ofvertebrate animals, which
alone admit of a comparison with our own
species, we find on the one hand, great
difference among them, with regard to
both their physical and mental faculties,
and on the other hand a not less marked
difference as to the structure of their brain
In all of them the brain has a central or
gan, which is a continuation of the spinal
chord, and to which anatomi>ts give the
name Of medulla oblongata. In connec-
ton with this, there are other bodies
placed in pairs, of small size and simple
structure, in the lowest species of fish, be
coming gradually larger and more complex
as we trace them through the other classes,
until they reach their greatest degree of
development in man himself That each
of these bodies has its peculiar functions,
there cannot, we apprehend, DC the small
est doubt; and it is indeed, sufficiently
probable that each Of them is not single
organ, but congcries of organs, having
distinct and separate uses.
There is reason to believe that, whatever
it may do besides, one office Of the GER
ebellum, is to combine the action Of the
voluntary muscles for the purpose of loco
motion. The corpora quadrigemina are
four tubercles, which connect the cerebrum
cercbellum, and medulla oblongate to each
other If one Of the uppermost of these
bodies be removed, blindness Of the eve of
the opposite side is the consequence. If
the upper Of the cerebum be removed, the
animal becomes blind and apparently stu
pifed; but not so much so but that he
may be reused, and that he can then walk
with steadiness ard precision. The most
important part Of the whole brain seems to
be a particular portion of the central organ
medulja oblongate While this remains
entire, the animal retains its sensibility,
breathes, and performs instructive motions.
But if this small mass Of the nervous sys-
tenn be injured. there is an end to these
several functions, and death Immediately
ensues. These facts, and some others of
the same kind, for knowledge of which
we are indebted TO modern Psychologists,
and more especially to NJ MAGENDIE, and

but upon this, as upon all other practical
questions, tie Republican party have no
settled policy, or unity Of sentiment,
During three years that they have been
in power in this State, they cannot point
to one useful act of legislation, which was
the fruit of their power, and which can
be given in evidence of their ability to
govern. While their two years of. supre-
macy in the L. s. House Of Representa-
tiyes resulted only in the passage through
that body of what is known as "Dunn's
Bill'-for the pacification of kansas
which received every Republican vote but
one in the House. and which in direct
terms, positively lie enacted the Fugitive
Slave Law, and extended it in full force
over the territories of Kansas and Nebras-
ka. and that too, in the face of the contln-
ued assertion of these same Repubhcan
Members of Congress, and their followers,
that the Fugitive Slave Law was uncon
stitutional and inhuman; and therefore
ought TO be repealed, and not respected.
We repeat, that a history of the supre-
macy ofthe Republican party in this State
or in the National House Of Representa-
tives, is from beginning to end, but de-
tail Of blunders, and of bungling, and in
consistent and impractical legislation; such
as proves that party destitute Of purpose,
or ability, for anything but getting up
political excitement.
We believe the time has come, when a
majority Of the people Of this State have
become satisfied Of the incapacty, and
recklessness Of the Republican leaders, and
long for the political quiet, and economi-
cal administration Of Democratic State
Government; and we have but to make
good ticket at our State Convention, to en-
able the Democracy to carry the State at
the November Election

the last Pilot, wherein we remarked that
his language against the President of the
United States, was unbecoming and I'M
warranted. Tie Tribune of the Dist,
however, proves that its editor is not as
brave as we supposed a military man Of
his experience would be, and we are real
ly sorry that he has already taken offence.
But, Captain, don't be afraid, our article
was only Paper bullet. We don't intend
to shoot you with the regular Mexican

or legislative talent
In this Republican party, "tlIis bundle
of factions" as their High Priest, Horace
Greeley, terms it; political opinions are as
various as political creedS; and the lead
ers, as we'll as the rank and file Of the par
~, agree only in two things amongst them
selves, and those things are, first, the de
feat of the democratic party, and second,
the desire to possess the spoils of office.
Upon ali other subjects, they are wide
apart, and DO not agree upon any one
great political question, or measures Of
public policy.
In the New England States, New Jersey,
and Pennsylvania, and to great extent in
New York, and Ohio, the Republicans
and Know Nothings together, have but
one political organization, and all in fact,
and effect, one party; the great mass ofthe
Republicans, accepting as a part of their
political faith, the proscriptive doctrines Of
the Know Nothing~; and nominating
prominent members of the Dark Lantern
party, as republican candidates for office.
Every New England Republican in Con
gress is of that stripe If one want still
further evidences of the fact, witness the
adoption of the recent amendment to the
Constitution Of the State of Massachusetts,,
which was recommended by Gov. Banks
Republican; passed two Republican Leg
lslatures; every Democrat therein voting
against it; and was then adopted by vote
of the people, three fourths Of whom are
Republicans: every Democratic journal in
the State and out of the State, opposing it;
and every Republican paper in the State
supporting it.
But in tie West, where the vote of our
foreign born citizens is so large as to form
a formidable element in our political struc-
gles, the proscriptive practices Of the Eas
tern Republicans, is professedIy ignored by
the members Of the same party; not be-
cause the native leaders here do not SYM
pathlse with their eastern brethren, but
because they have not strength enough for
success without 'ie a'd Of 'l'at class OF
voters, whom their New Engiand partl-
Fans prescribe

to the reason, or the practical common
sense Of the people; but seeks 10y appeals

Escape Of Forty-two Convicts

There appears to have been precon-

Of killing them and in this manner the

were preparing to follow suit, when the
