THE MOUNTAIN. By r. NJ. S. JAcRsoN.
VI. D., PHILADELPHA. J. LIPPINcoTT, & Co.
We turn with pleasure from the barren
field of politics, in which no salutary plant
takes root, to the work of our friend Dr.
jackson. We have perused it carefully and
confidently say that it is production of
which he has just reason to feel proud. The
book contains large amount of reliable
information written in graceful and fascina-
ting style. It contains a large amount of
valuable information with regard to the Geol-
ogy, Hydrography, Hydrology, Botany.
Zology climates &c, of the Allegheny
Mountains. In pursuing it we have been
particularly struck with the facility with
which the author can in moment transport
himself from ''grave to gay. from lively to
severe" While pursuing grave chapter we
| are startled by humorous observation, clothed
in the graceful language of Addison, while on
the next page we encounter erich joke" a
''palpable hit'' which Sterne would have gladly
Incorporated into Tristan shandy."
The Mountain was evidently written by
an enthusiastic lover Of Nature-by one who
might say to her in the language of Shelley.

SPEECH OF HON. JEFFERSON DAVIS.


From the speech lately made in the Sen,
ate of the United States by the Hon. JEFF
Davis, we extract the following finished par.
agraphs:
Mr.. President, briefly and reluctantly
referred, because the subject had been intro
duced, to the attitude of Mississippi on a
former occasion. I will now as briefly say
that in 1851 and in 1860 she was and is
ready to make every concession which it be.
comes her to make to the welfare and the
safety of the Union. IF, on former occa.
sion, she hoped too much from fraternity,
the responsibility rests upon those who fail,
ed to fulfil her expectations. She still clings
to the Government as our fathers formed it.
She is ready to-day and to morrow, as in her
past though brief yet brilliant history, to
maintain that Government in all its power,
and to vindicate its power with all the means
she possesses. l say brilliant history; for
it was in the very morning of her existence
that her sons on the plains of New Orleans
were announced in general orders to have
been the admiration of one army and the
wonder Of the other. That we had division
in relation TO the measures enacted in 1850,
is true that the Southern rights men be-
came the minority in the election which re-
suited, is true; but no figure Of speech could
warrant the Senator in speaking Of them as
subdued as coming to him or anybody else
for quarter. l deemed it offensive when in.
dcated, and the scoru with which repelled
it at the time has only sOftened into con-
tempt.

THE SPEAKING LAST MONDAY NIGHT.

The Hon. w. Brooke addressed the Opposition
meeting last Monday night, and although he is
known to be one Of the best stump speakers in
the State, we tAink he made rather poor effort,
and the reason Of it was, he had no foundation
to build on, and it was tedious tiresome and
except he fred up a little when he said that edi-
tors of newspapers and pot-houss politicians
would try to make the people believe that Bell
and Everett were not sound. He seemed to know
that such charge might be made and sustained
by the record and tried to break the force Of what
editors would say by affecting to disregard their
allegations. In our humble opinion, information
received from editors and small politicians is
about as reliable as that which comes from big
Dengue politicians. But as we now have Mr..
Brooke upon our side we have no doubt that on the
first opportunity he will retrieve all the honors
lost on the last occasion.
After Mr.. Brooke closed, Judge Gibbs was
lo0dly called for, and made his appearance upon
the stand We regret our reporter was not
present, for we would like to have given the
speech in full to our readers, but it is, we can
but barely allude to Is. Judge Gibbs commenced
by saying that he lad taken no part in party pol
,itics since the old Whig party was swallow
ed up by the Know Nothing party-that he could
rot join the latter, for he was opposed to mixing
up politics with religion, and the consequence
was that for the last FIVE or siz years he had been
floating about loosely and mjscelaueOusly, but
he. thought the time bad now come when be could
with prepriety ''pitch I'M Withan air Triumph,
he asserted that Bell was pure patriot, and emf
nently conservative man; thathe had been true
friend to the South, and that he had clean record
The Judge evidently showed that while he had
been floating around miscellaneously, he had
grown quite rusty in political history. We think
Mr.. Bells record is as foul as a cage of unclean
birds. He voted for the reception Of abolition
petitions-aganst the admission Of q slave State
against the; repeal of the odious
Missouri restriction If such a course constitutes
o man friend to the South we say God deliver
us from our friends. Fhe truth is, Mr. Bell has
had his eye on the Presidential chair for the last
twenty years. and has been looking to the North
to place him in it, aud uponevery qnestiOn'where
the rights of the South have been involved he
has voted with our Northern enemies. ~ 4
