MT. B. stated, afier reading the paper, that the gentlemen who had signed repre- sented both wings of the State--all its public men, its hopes, its character. and its fortunes.
 Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, as chairman of the Arkansas delegation, desired to say single word to go along with the paper which had been read. It was his desire that that portion of the Arkansas delega- tion who had concluded to leave the con venton should have waied until the dele gation could have had consultation. Why did he hesitate? It was because he con ceived that the stability of the Union itself was involved in the action taken here by the southern representatives.
 He had been taught from bovhood to he. lieve that If the Union was to be preserved at all, 1t was to be preserved by the demo. cratic party as a unit. (Cheers. He wished to consult with other southern men as to the best course to be pursued-( cheers l deserving to himself the right to decide the question, which he would do in few hours.

A PERSIAN RELIC or AsTIoUirY.

A PERSIAN RELIC or ANTIQUITY.
A very interesting antiquarian dis
covery, says an exchange, has lately
been made public. Gibbop had, long
ago, in his great work, pointed out as
"the most authentic Of relics" the
bronz serpant on which wa, placed
the golden tripod, made by the Greeks
from the spoils Of Xerxes, and dedi'
Gated in the Temple Of Apollo, at
Delphi, rs related by Herodotus Of
ter the battle Of Plata. This was
carried to bis new capital by the Ew-
peror Constantine, and though multi
ated by the iconoclastic real Of the
conaueror Mobsmmed H., it still re-
mains erect in the Hippodrome at
CopstantinopIe. As IL was difficult
TO reconcile the present appearance
OF the monument with the descript-
ion Of ancient authors, some doubt
had been thrown on its authenticity |;
but during the recent occupation OF
Copsssn,inople by the Allied Powers
In the Crimean war, excavations were
made, and the Serpant Pedestal laid
bare TO its base, where, by application
Of chemical solvents, the original Hell
icpic inscription, recording the names
of the Greek States who had fought
against the Persisps, was recovered.
IL Is In the most Archanic form Of
Greek writing, well and deeply cut,
and written in the boustrophedon

alternately from right to left. The
resppesrance ola record actually seen
and copied by the Father Of History
and many centuries later by Pausan
ias, which has been lost to the world
ever since, is a remarkable link in
the chain OF discoveries which have
Of late gone 80 strongly to rehabili
tate the credit of Herodotus as oul

And this leads me TO q piece Of

very valuable advice, but l ask 10th
ing for it. / know something about

is almost the only matter that do

truth Of the maxim which l am about
to declare appeal to those Senators
on both sides Of the Chamber who, il
they have not had greater experience
than l have in that honorable profess
sion, have reflected greater credit up
on il. 1t il this a paper that can.
not support itself cannot be Of any
service to . party; to depend upon it
is ike leaning upon . man who can
not stand up, to spend money upon il
is like wasting fuel 10 the attempt to
kindle . stone. The day when such
papers were read has passed; and the
day has long since arrived when q
paper, to be Of service to . party,
must first establish q value to the
public. 1t must acquire character
for the reliability Of its facts and fol
the caudor Of its arguments; it mus
be, in q considerable degree, indepen
dent Of party, before a party can de
rive any great value from its services
Of oil the foolish expenditures tha
are made for political purposes, non,
are more useless and wasteful thai
those for the support of the class o
newspapers that very few read an,
that nobody believes.
