On the Tongue.

A good deal has of late been preached rathe than practiced upon the subject of ruling the un ruly member, and much more might perhaps b' said, and with a grace and propriety that should have some practical effect
 The evil speaking of the tongue has been : proper topic of discourse from theearly times o contentious christians, through all ages of tho world, down to the present.
 But it takes man whose personal uprightnes; and evident suitability of character is above sus picion or doubt, to enforce these important pre- cepts, and give directness and force to the discourse, which shall send home the truths ol what he utters to the conviction of his hearers and to the direct benefit of the community.
 A man in the community thoroughly honest upright, and whole-souled, stands above and is protected from the slanderer's claw, and never receives lasting detrimcnt from all assaults O the reviler, the hypocrite, the malevolent and the mean.
 But the terrible malice of the slander anc the blackguard Lit would scorch and scathe the character it assails, tho it were pure as all angel and spotless as saints. It would rob the defenceless of his honor his purity, his nobleness and his truth it would besmear and bedaub an unoffending man, and with its venomous slime would corrode his character, and revile his name it would seek out histories of the past, and find food for it's malevolence in predictions of the future it would ruin where it could, and chuckle with fendish~ satisfaction over the wreck it leaves.
 From such defamers, deliver us!
 But geatleman can never be a blackguard The terms are contradictory, and opposite as light and darkness, and whether with loud mouthed denunciations, or sly, sinuous, slimy islanders, a creature is found so low who stoops to this, his character stands confessed, and all the suayity and hypocrisy and selfapproval in the world, will not conceal the venomous slime that covers that character all over as with gar ment of poisonous leprosy.
 Ithis coat fits any of us, let us put it on, though 1t burns as the shirt of Nemesis, remembering always, that blacken it as you will, cover it all over with the filth of foul calumny and hate, the character of an upright, conscientious, pure and spotless gentleman, will stand forth confcssedly brighter and more shining still, after the slander CT and his islanders, the ibeller and. his bes, the liar and his lies shall have been long buried ir obloquy, and despisedly forgotten.

Prentice sends this rife shot in the direction of Mississippi:

The holders of this stock will doubtless soon own the ship. A N. Y letter writer says she can never pay except in the government trasport service or in the slave trade.

R2~ Our Fairfield County Republican breth, ren are already in arms and lighting their camp fires in all directions.
 At Danbury-ever wide apake, since the days Of the Revolution, in regard to all good words and good works-a large and enthusiastic Wide Awake Club has been formed, which numbers among it's members the most active and nromis- ing young men of the place, and which is doing yeoman service for our party and principles On "Wednesday evening last this Club turned out in full force with uniforms, torches, banners and music. After parading the principal streets thev halted in front of the Wooster House, and with large concourse of other citizens, listened to short addresses from Ex-Gov. Dutton of New Haven, N. L. White of Danbury, Amos S. Treat of Bridgeport and Henry s. Sanford of New Milford. The greatest. enthusiasm and good feeling prevailed, and without doubt Danbury will give good account of herself in November
 We ought to have some good rousing meet ings in this County. We should be wide awake in every town, so that when the leaves fall in November the worn out Democracy may fall too and "sleep the sleep that knows no ending"
