Read the fiollowing and see how mnch more just and reasonable is .Mnjor Noah of the New York Sunday Times than some Southern editors. Major Noah, in the following remnrks, shows his goid sense. and his love of truth and justice. We can but express the pleasure We experience at being able to copy his excellent article: "One half of this formidable missive is devoted to the inconsistency of 51r. Cal- houn. n ho approved the Missonuri ' m- promise, which excluded sl.ivery fro a vast portion of the Vest, and to show that he is a disunionist, and ,was himself originally the founder. the approver, and the justifier of the Missouri Compromise. All the Wbig papers, in ecstac) of delighit, rub their hands together, nOd declare that Col. Benton has imrale out a strong case ngninst Mr. Calhoun. We cannot see it. Slavery has always been a political quea- tion. -It origitnated with Rufs King to cripple the represntitative power (if the South. and this has alway been the ex- tet of its Ititrinnity. The M issonuri Corn- promise wa s rol to exclude slavery in that Stale: the opposition was directed against a clane in the new Constitution L hich preven'ied fre negroes and mulattoes from settling in that State under any pretence Iatever. It was contended, anid with renson. that this excltusion violated the spirit of the Constitutiotrof the Unired States. Missouri insisted upon her right nQ a State to adopt this provision. Wrnen the bijl again came up for cottsideration, Flederalisis threw the fire brand into Con- gress Iy insisting urpon engrafting the fo!- I g section or rider to the Itill: 14-:c. 8.

The storm. however, was up. -r n mmiifl- ou nt1t1 be a Suite. .e f.:deralists had got the wen ther-gage o -Ae StuthI. WIhat was to be done ! Congress had no more right to insert this section in the lw IV than to Itave tntroduced a bull of the, Pope inito nu act of that biudy. Mr. (;dhoi. theni Secretary (if war wns firced to s'bmit to tbis assumption of power. He feared that ' issouri. if not then ad- mitted. W.nlJ exercise the rights of a soverei.n sate, nr.d en her a eltter (if in-. depet'eiit states, disctnn ecitl witl the 'eIeral overnnent. which would reach the 'adie ( Ocean. To preserve the Union, Mr. Calhoun coNsctitel tt Ihis cottIpronmise. This is the widtn. ireaddth. and deuth of Air. Calhoun's inonsistency. I"nt did the sumuission to a wrong under those cir- cumstances jtnetifv tihe infliction to another wrong ! Bec,it:,e Congress said they had a right to prohihit bv law slavery in terrn- tories. did it tmake it so. ,-The Sotih has no belief that slavery will ever be introduced into California and New ilexico. but they are firmly united against the right of Congress tt prohibit it by law in territories. They have no desire to g iit) those territories with slaves; hnt as metmers of this Repulbc. thoy will not pertiti Congress to a-sune a tight which the Constit itn does not confer. If this w;q not a political question, all would aditit thatt the position taken by the South i a j nst nd proper. What is precedent to- day bec.omes doctrine to-morrow. If Cttn- gress has a right to say to the South, 'You shanl not take your property inltt new ter'- ri ttries,' that btody nay say, -You shall tnot hold that property in your on a Stautes.' The Sittoh most hy union preserve the Union, atndl protect t heir own rights." e"Col. Bentont wilnmake tio capitaul from :his attack ont Nr. Calhoun, or in the de- cIlaration t hat Con gress possesses the power because she exercised it some thirty year~s ago. It is sidt that M1r. Detntotn htops by this movement to make himself the Demo- cramic candidate fur the Presideuey. If he has found such favor in the eyes of his old political enlemies, suppose0 they try him for a single term ! he has no such views. Mr. Van Burear, a much more popular man, with more tact andI address, tried this one prtnciple with singular bad fortune. Mr. ifentona will never try it. Thte whole ss a quarrel with- the Legialature nf his own State. for an attempt to compel him by in- structiton to carr.y out .4r. Calhoun's views otn slavery instead of his own. He makes- fight withI the Legisfature of Missouri, with wha'. success- we shall know hereafter. The WVhigs of his State (vill go with him, and he may succeed in sostaining his- views. He considers the question of the ftee soil settled-, and so do- we, from the action which the people of California them- selves, in fortminig a State Government, may take. He wishes to hear no more discussion in Congress on the subject ;but as the question hias always been political, and nt one of right or humanity, he is in error if lie supposes that die qutiion will sleep, or thatt the slave States will catlmly look on andI subm~tit to assumptiotns of pow- er unknown to the Constitution.". The Hungarian leader, Kossuth. has ap. 'pointed his sister general superintendent *eof the milhiary hospitals anti she has pu- blished an address, calling on all the ladies to lenin their assisstance to this work of ceharity.' ENGLAND AND RUsSIA.-The followin letter presents facts -r.d suogeste question worthy or prorotind reflection To the fLditors of the Union: Take a map and look a Rtussia and yo will find that her right flank resis on th Baltic and Vistula, her centre on TransvI vantia, and occupies Mldavia and Walla chia, anl tIhe mouths of the Danube. He left flank is extended to Bucharia and th eastern frontier of China. The Afiglai mountains alone separate the Russian ani English sentinels. This flank is supportei by the oasis of Khiva .(250 miles long h 50 wide) and the Aral sea; by the wholl of the Caspian sea, including the depend emt rivers of Persia, and 'he right of Wa3 through Persia towards lerat. Let England look to it. (and if she tie it will hardly arrest her fate,) that th< present open operations of Russia in Mil davia and Wallachia, and the march intr Hungary, do not conceal a gran.l.m-ve. mencut on her left flank (that a Napoleon could conceive and executP) that 'iould chunge England, by the waving of a mar- sl's baton, into i third rate power. There are at least 100,000 Russian sol- diers, a force mobile. beyond the Caspian sea, that can bb marched 'in tienty lays to the banks of the Indus. Leta that force appear on the banks of the Indus, and "the terror of the British name" will be as a thing lost upon eartl. All Indin, fron Ceylon to Catil, and from Bomhav to 3.ootan, wouldl rise in arms, and the BrIlish pldver cease to exist. Englind without Indin wotld sink to the level of Naples, wit h no nation so pour as to do her reverence.

ANo-rnER GaEAT DISCOFnY-SENS - tyr. GLASs.-We had occasion aone ime since to say something about the )rnids and their worship. The gentle- nan who iz xetting up an arratging the aivsteties and ceremonies for the Druidi- ni exhibition. is well ktnown to uS as a ractietl chemist, but as ie does not wish o appear before lie public nitil the pro- ier ite, we withhold his name, lhnt take he liberty of speaking of the wonderfol irocess of science. - The persont alluded to spent same weeks n Pitts'>mr in endeavoirin-g to produce the agien g ols of the Drtijils, lit dil not Oucceed. The experimtents have bcen onaiintned here, and th Ite Urntidish musical ones. from tubes ofl iss are perfect, antd make sweet harmony. But the senitive drass goblets are the most wonderful. It ivas a secret of the Arch.Druid to make lis glass sensitive to poison, and tradition Says that his food and beverages were sub- mitted to a test itt those gohlets, %nd if they containied poison the glass would break. One of these glasses was shown s yesterday, in which water was forced, and it remained as sound as any other itmbler, but on adding a little poison, the glass flew at ontce into several pieces. This is snmethiig more mysterious than has been exhibited Vet, and we can say tm all confidence that ihe exhibition will be rne of rema~rkable scientific wontder. [Cincinnattd Coms.

BENTON'S RECREANCY.Read the fiollowing and see how mnch

more just and reasonable is .Mnjor Noahof the New York Sunday Times thansome Southern editors.

Major Noah, in the following remnrks,shows his goid sense. and his love of truthand justice. We can but express thepleasure We experience at being able tocopy his excellent article:"One half of this formidable missive is

devoted to the inconsistency of 51r. Cal-houn. n ho approved the Missonuri ' m-

promise, which excluded sl.ivery fro avast portion of the Vest, and to showthat he is a disunionist, and ,was himselforiginally the founder. the approver, andthe justifier of the Missouri Compromise.All the Wbig papers, in ecstac) of delighit,rub their hands together, nOd declare thatCol. Benton has imrale out a strong casengninst Mr. Calhoun. We cannot see it.Slavery has always been a political quea-tion. -It origitnated with Rufs King tocripple the represntitative power (if theSouth. and this has alway been the ex-tet of its Ititrinnity. The M issonuri Corn-promise wa s rol to exclude slavery in thatStale: the opposition was directed againsta clane in the new Constitution

L

hichpreven'ied fre negroes and mulattoes fromsettling in that State under any pretence

Iatever. It was contended, anid withrenson. that this excltusion violated thespirit of the Constitutiotrof the UniredStates. Missouri insisted upon her rightnQ a State to adopt this provision. Wrnenthe bijl again came up for cottsideration,Flederalisis threw the fire brand into Con-gress Iy insisting urpon engrafting the fo!-I g section or rider to the Itill:14-:c. 8. That in h.11 that territory ceded

however, was up.-r nmmiifl- ou nt1t1 be a Suite. .e

f.:deralists had got the wen ther-gage o-AeStuthI. WIhat was to be done ! Congresshad no more right to insert this section in

the lwIV than toItave tntroduced a bull ofthe, Pope inito nu act of that biudy. Mr.(;dhoi. theni Secretary (if war wns fircedto s'bmit to tbis assumption of power.He feared that ' issouri. if not then ad-mitted. W.nlJ exercise the rights of a

soverei.n sate, nr.d en her a eltter (if in-.depet'eiit states, disctnn ecitl witl the'eIeral overnnent. which would reachthe 'adie (Ocean. To preserve the Union,Mr. Calhoun coNsctitel tt Ihis cottIpronmise.This is the widtn. ireaddth. and deuth ofAir. Calhoun's inonsistency. I"nt did thesumuission to a wrong under those cir-cumstances jtnetifv tihe infliction to anotherwrong ! Bec,it:,e Congress said they hada right to prohihit bv law slavery in terrn-tories. did it tmake it so.

,-The Sotih has no belief that slaverywill ever be introduced into California andNew ilexico. but they are firmly unitedagainst the right of Congress tt prohibit itby law in territories. They have no desire

to g iit) those territories with slaves; hntas metmers of this Repulbc. thoy will not

pertiti Congress to a-sune a tight whichthe Constit itn does not confer. If thisw;q not a political question, all wouldaditit thatt the position taken by the Southi aj nstnd proper. What is precedent to-

day bec.omes doctrine to-morrow. If Cttn-gress has a right to say to the South, 'Youshanl not take your property inltt new ter'-ri ttries,' that btody nay say, -You shalltnot hold that property in your on a Stautes.'The Sittoh most hy union preserve theUnion, atndl protect t heir own rights."

e"Col. Bentont wilnmake tio capitaul from:his attack ont Nr. Calhoun, or in the de-cIlaration t hat Con gress possesses the powerbecause she exercised it some thirty year~sago. It is sidt that M1r. Detntotn htops bythis movement to make himself the Demo-cramic candidate fur the Presideuey. If hehas found such favor in the eyes of his oldpolitical enlemies, suppose0 they try him fora single term ! he has no such views. Mr.Van Burear, a much more popular man,with more tact andI address, tried this one

prtnciple with singular bad fortune. Mr.ifentona will never try it. Thte whole ss aquarrel with- the Legialature nf his ownState. for an attempt to compel him by in-structiton to carr.y out .4r. Calhoun's viewsotn slavery instead of his own. He makes-fight withI the Legisfature of Missouri, withwha'. success- we shall know hereafter.The WVhigs of his State (vill go with him,and he may succeed in sostaining his-views. He considers the question of theftee soil settled-, and so do- we, from theaction which the people of California them-selves, in fortminig a State Government,may take. He wishes to hear no morediscussion in Congress on the subject ;butas the question hias always been political,and nt one of right or humanity, he is inerror if lie supposes that die qutiion willsleep, or thatt the slave States will catlmlylook on andI subm~tit to assumptiotns of pow-er unknown to the Constitution.".

ENGLAND AND RUsSIA.-The followinletter presents facts -r.d suogeste questionworthy or prorotind reflectionTo the fLditors of the Union:Take a map and look a Rtussia and yo

will find that her right flank resis on thBaltic and Vistula, her centre on TransvIvantia, and occupies Mldavia and Wallachia, anl tIhe mouths of the Danube. Heleft flank is extended to Bucharia and theastern frontier of China. The Afiglaimountains alone separate the Russian aniEnglish sentinels. This flank is supporteiby the oasis of Khiva .(250 miles long h50 wide) and the Aral sea; by the whollof the Caspian sea, including the dependemt rivers of Persia, and 'he right of Wa3through Persia towards lerat.Let England look to it. (and if she tie

it will hardly arrest her fate,) that th<present open operations of Russia in Mildavia and Wallachia, and the march intrHungary, do not conceal a gran.l.m-ve.mencut on her left flank (that a Napoleoncould conceive and executP) that 'iouldchunge England, by the waving of a mar-sl's baton, into i third rate power.There are at least 100,000 Russian sol-diers, a force mobile. beyond the Caspiansea, that can bb marched 'in tienty lays tothe banks of the Indus. Leta that forceappear on the banks of the Indus, and "theterror of the British name" will be as athing lost upon eartl.

ANo-rnER GaEAT DISCOFnY-SENS -

tyr. GLASs.-We had occasion aoneime since to say something about the)rnids and their worship. The gentle-nan who iz xetting up an arratging theaivsteties and ceremonies for the Druidi-ni exhibition. is well ktnown to uS as a

ractietl chemist, but as ie does not wisho appear before lie public nitil the pro-ier ite, we withhold his name, lhnt takehe liberty of speaking of the wonderfolirocess of science.- The persont alluded to spent same weeksn Pitts'>mr in endeavoirin-g to produce theagien golsof the Drtijils, lit dil not

Oucceed. The experimtents have bcenonaiintned here, and thIte Urntidish musicalones. from tubes ofl iss are perfect, antdmake sweet harmony. But the senitive

drass goblets are the most wonderful. Itivas a secret of the Arch.Druid to makelis glass sensitive to poison, and traditionSays that his food and beverages were sub-mitted to a test itt those gohlets, %nd ifthey containied poison the glass wouldbreak. One of these glasses was showns yesterday, in which water was forced,and it remained as sound as any otheritmbler, but on adding a little poison, theglass flew at ontce into several pieces.This is snmethiig more mysterious thanhas been exhibited Vet, and we can say tm

all confidence that ihe exhibition will berne of rema~rkable scientific wontder.

to ax y gal her age. The old maids,reckon, sed that. Now I think it's full

LI as unfair to ax a gal tier iweight, as iB is to ax her her age, 'case it's-a tufiques

staver, 'mongst the gals, lie is, and liedon't 'kare a straw what he sez to anyon 'em, tie don't.

Cusen Jeff, tie cum over to our house-one Sunday, and he sez to me. "Pete,les go to see 'Squire Greeny's gals,''Agreed.'.sed I. And so not we struck.I felt 6rtul bold when wp airst started,but suimhow the nearer we got to'SquireGreeny's the worte slieared I was. AndI wished we had never-, started; but itwas too late now, so-in we went. 'SquireGrgny's got two gals, Sally and Betsy,as nice gals as you ever seed, they is.They tit seemed mighty perlite, andme and cusen JeIf thouglit we was gittin'on fust rate, we did.

Cosen Jeff was all the time talkin'like all nati;r' to Betsy. After a whileSally she proposed we s'iould all go andweigh. So out we all went, SquireGreeny goin' along to weigh us. WhenSally's turn .cujm. 'Squire Greeny, helookId sorter 'stonished. 'W by Sally.'says he, ?you weigh a hundred and lif,ty.' 'Law ! par,' sod Sally. 'Aint itJeff?' sed.the squire: 'Yes sir-ce,' sedAJef. And sure enuff Sally weighed ahundred .nd fifty; the hevy est critter inthe whoie' gang on us.

Well, me all went back to the hous.!,

'No slit don't sed the old lady. 'Yes,but I tell you she doz,' sed the Squire.'Don't she JeffI' 'Yes sir-ee, she dez,'sed Jeff.

'I don't b'leve it,' sed the old lady.'Well. we'dl weigh Sally ag'in, and

So Sally was struNg up att'in, and theSquire liebalanced the stilyards to thefast kickuir place; and then lit, comnc.cc-ed lookin over his specs and couitingIiis fingers 'Jeff,' sez he, how much isthat ? Jh looked over the 'Squire'sshoitlder. 'One hundrcd and thirty-seven, wIN"etf.

Dr KIND TO EVERYBODY.-There isnoithing like kindners-it sweetens evervthing. A single look of love, a smile, a

orasp of the hand, has gained morefriends than both wealth and learning.'Charity suffereth long and is kind.'See 1 Cor. xiii.NEVER STfKl MAci.-That is, never

twice, think what to speak, how tospeak, to whom to speak, and with allto hold tip your head and look the per,sons to whom you are speaking full inthe face with modest dignity and assU-ilance'. Sonie lads have a foolish, sheep.ish bashfulness, sheer off, hold downiheir heads and eyes, as if they vereguilv of sheep-stealing ! Never beushatned to do right.-N. Y. Star.

A CoNVALESCINo "SoCN."-The Pic.lyune is responsible for the followinginecdote:Gough/'d.-We are indebted to a

riend fron the country for the follow.ng lirtte anecdote, showing how one ofhe "Sons" recently got gough'd, which,ieing interpreted, meaneth gcItingi'high," "tight" "fuddled." It seem'siat our teniperncerman had a "slike"vithlathe cholera, but fortunately re-overed. When he was getting conva-'scent, as the doctors say, hi's physi.ian prescribed a little brandy--an ounceer day-and the patient at once sentutaind procured a quantity of ihe arti-le."

O'n tire folrowing afternoon. the pfhvsi-0ian paid a visit to the cholera nian,bad, to htis astonishmnent, found him inbmost excellent flowv of spirits-or, in 1

iher wvords, quite gongh'd ! O'n in-"uiring into this singular statn of things,te maedicinie man exclaimed : Did I v
