LONDON, Aug. 26.-The Times, refer
ring TO to the condition of the British
colonies, says: Canada is in all respects
independent, and is fitted to become 90.
She has institutions of great power, and
it is fair subject of inquiry whether she
ought not to assume her appropriate po-
sition.

SPEAKER OF THE SENATE.
Dorsey ID. Thomas she Man for the
Position.

Position.
To the Editors of the Union and American.
WEST TENNESSEE, Aug. %, 1852
Seeing several names spoken Of as prob
| able candidates for the speakership of
the Senate, desire to suggest the name
of one that think eminently qualified
for the place, and whose election will
give peculiar satisfaction to the people of
West and Middle Tennessee. That man
is Dorsey B. Thomas. He has been one
of the most unfinching advocates of the
right and stern opposers of wrong, we
have had in the State during the four
long years of oppression through which
we have just passed. lie has integrity
and high moral WORKMAN amount of
talent equal to this or any other position
in the State-a man, in fact, of the
largest common sense and truest patriot.
ism-a gentleman in every sense of the
word, without fear and without reproach
one whose services in the great cause
of Acknowledgement entitle him to the
gratitude of the people, and whose abili-
ties enable him to serve them well,
wherever he may be placed
Mr.. Thomas is well known in West
Tennessee, perhaps better than in his
own section; and we believe that the
suggestion of his name in connection
with the speakership will meet hearty
response in this end of the State. We
from West Tennessee who claim to know
him best, ask earnestly that his name be
considered, in reference to the position
indicated, and we feel sure that ne will
well and faithfully meet its responsible
tiles, and perform Its duties, as he has
heretofore done in every position that he
has been called to fill, whether in public
or private life. \. y. \.
Edmund Cooper.
From the Memphis Sun. Aug. "a.
This is regarded as position Of the
gravest Importance. In Tennessee, we
have no Lieutenant Governor, the Speak
er Of the Senate usually succeeding to
the governorship in the event of the |
death or resignation Of that officer. 1t
is not likely that Senter will be elected
to the Senate, and still less likely that |
be may vacate the chief executive Office |
before his time expires. Nevertheless
the possibilities of the future make it
important that a good man may be.
chosen as Speaker Of the Senate, and for |
that position we would suggest Hon. |
Ed. Cooper, Senator elect from Bedford.
He is one of the best lawyers in the |
State. Has served with distinction as
member of Congress and as President |
Tohnson's private secretary. He is able,
capable and faithful, and will reflect
honor upon the position, whether as the
presiding officer of the Senate or the
chief executive officer of the State.

DRINKING WHILE EATING

A recent contributor to the Herald OF
Health considers the practice of drinking
during meals an Injurious Ole, and ar
CUES his cause thus:
Whoever, contrary to his usual Gus
tom, will turn down his glass at the be-
ginning of meal, and not make use OF
it till the close. may perceive that a
great many consequences flow from so
simple an action. In the first place, the
only aid to mastication and deglutition,
apart from the teeth and tongue, will
be the saliva, of which, from long disuse,
there probably will not be the desired
abundance. The time occupied liz dis
posing of a mouthful of food will thus
be prolonged, and the character of the
food make a greater impression on the
palate.
The stomach will not be treated to a
cataract of half-drowned morsels, but
at proper intervals to weil-prepared
material for digestion. There Will be
no haste, no bolting; the tendency to
stuff and overload the stomach will be
checked or fairly overcome--at least
there will be leisure to consider wheth-
er one is eating too much. 1t is need
less to add thas these changes would be
in the interest of good breeding at the
table, there being few things more re-
pulsive than the sight of a person who
darts at his food, gulps it down in an
instant, and, before it is fairly Deposit
ed in his mouth, has caught up more
with which TO pursue it,

NINE AT LAST.

Mine at last the words are spoken,
Mine at last | all ties are broken,
And 1 clasp you to my bosom though ]
hold but senseless clay,
But your hair is soft and golden
AS in the days long past and olden;
And the lovelight meath your eyelids hath
!, not wholly past away.
Mine to-day-and though tomorrow
Bringeth parting, bringeth sorrow,
Shall waste the hours in weeping, shall
/ shring with vague alarms?
For to-day L may possess you,
may clasp you and caress you,
And the grave waits to receive you when
lay you faom my arms.
o my faded, broken blossom!
You are dropping on my bosom,
There are none to take you from me, there
are none to scoff or chide.
While my hand is soft caresses,
Smoothes your silken, shining tresses,
Death and 1 to-day have claimed you, and
we will not be denied
Though your lips have no replying
To the sad words am signing,
Yet it wears the sad sweet smiling that /
recollect of yore,
And your hand lies in my grasping,
Though 1T ne'er returns my clasping,
And 1 whisper words of love, though you
answer me no more.
From the grave until tomorrow,
Your pale beauty l will borrow,
l will dream that you are living while my
watch DER you keep.
On my heart your head I'll pillow
Till the dawn shall yon willow,
Dropping ON your grave new heapen; till
the morning sleep, dear sleep.

$ is the stocking displayed when she
walks ;
L is the false teeth she shows when she
