PJI R EN OLOG Y. We meutiotied a few
weeks aoo, that Profeajtir Grave wa lectur
ing in Fnyetteville, and !tin ing up an iuter
cst on the subject of Phrenology. Many of
out citizens have receiilly hd their hendi ex
plored (externally) and we leliee buve very
generally been sali.-sficd with their own thainc
ti;rs phieiiol'-gicallv porfra)ed. This might
have been expected ,- for iu the fi'st place, it
ia hnrdly puibable thet any very bad man
would go to a phrenologist ; and in the se
cond place, ihe phrenologist know , enough
of hutnau uutue to know that no man con
sults him to be told of his fault ; he cousult
him, first, from a curiosity to know by his
own experience, how much truth fhere is in
phrenology ; and second, to hear what the
phrenologist w ill say of him ; a ceitain vanity
within prompting him to hope or believe thnt
some hidden virtue may be found by the
phrenologist, which himself has never beeti
able to discover. We speak now of those
who have ptivale examinations. Of course,
iu public examination, especially where the
audience blindfold the phrenologist, all re
straint of this sort is taken off, aud he tiavels
light on, and if he stumbles across the evil
bumps," he lets out on the man who has been
green enough to stand the test.
Abhough it may be said that ' every heait
knoweth ils own sorrows," yet it cannot be
truthfully said that every man knoics himself.
Yet eveiy man has a cuiiosity' to know
himself, and if there be truth in the science of
phrenology, this cuiiosity can be aii-fied;
and whether it be true or not, so long as man
has cuiiosity iu his nature, phrenology will
be patronized- We sometime!, . however,
come across persons who think that they do
knoie themselves; but they are as certainly de
ceived in this, as was the dog who let go his
piece ol meat to bite at its shadow. It seldom,
if ever, occurs, that a man commits an art,
hoivever outiageous, that he does not justify
himself in, or tecoticile. himself to ; for he
thinks of himself no doubt as Richard the
third did, that he is a ''marvellous proper man;'
and yet ihe world knows him to be a villain.
Such a man certainly does not know himself.
And in more common and every day cases,
all must admit that man may have powers
within himself of which h :.s not aware, sim
ply because circumstances have never con
spired lo bring them forth.
Phieuology, whether true or false, has cer
tainly made out some remarkable cases to
sustain hself. Some may think thctn the re
sult of accident or the deep penetration of the
Phrenologist, hile others hold them as gos
pel truths.
But we may state it as an opiuion general
ly entertained, (though rejected by some) that
The general coufurmalioii of the head, is an
index to the powers of the mind. But even
iu this, we doubt if any genetal rule can be ;
laid down, to which there wHf not be found
exceptions enough to upset the whole theoiy
with many stubborn minds. Some believe
much mote iu physiognomy than in phieuol- j
ogy. Aud any one who bas read Lavnfcr, :
the most celebiatrd wiitcr on the subject,
cm not help concluding that his dclintations ;
of character by the features of the face, aie
stiikinglv conect aud plausible;- and so it
is with phieuology. But the physiognomist
will tell you that the ph-euo'ogist :e-oits as
much to the face as to the headt which the
hit'er will deny and tell yuu to blindfold him
aud submit a head- to his examination. But
we believe thai the most general, arid best
sustained opinion at this day, is, that both
phrenology and physiognomy are great helps
to- the eve of man hi forming his opinion ot
the menial powers and moral compoitton- of
his fellow man. .
The science of phrenology has been carried
so far as to excite the ridicule of unbelievers,
who have eombatted it very successfully in
that way. They have dubbed it "bumpolo
gy,' in derision of those who carry the sci
ence so far as to say that the different pow
ers of the miud, and passions of t-he heart
have certain locations on the head; and that
as those powers are strong; or defective, the
fact rUl be indicated by a fullness or
"bump," or a depression; or where all the
powers are uniform and equal, by a general
evenness of the bead. Or where certain
Drooensities or passions of a man grow larger
or smaller, eiliier from , education or other
cause, the "bump"' which indicates said pro
peh-Mty ot passion, will increase or decrease,
as the case may be. For instance, it has been
contended as a fact coming under the obser
vations of phrenologists; that a person avvav
In ui home for a length f time, who was of
a very domestic home-loving disposition, be
came so homesick that the skull over the
''bump" of inhabiliveness', became thin,
as 'though the scull was wearing a way, or the
bump became much enlarged. This has been
asserted as a fact, we believe, and it may
be so or ii may not. But there are certainly
very few whose bump of inarvellonsness is so
I a Tire as to believe it.
e may continue these remark3 next week,
as the subject is interesting.
0&- The New Voik True Sun, thus truly
exposes the fallacy of the agfimeut of those
who have fecetitly voted in Cngiess to ex
clude slavery from auy territory hereafter to be
acquired by the United Slates:
The pretence is that no mote slave ten il.iry
must be added to the union. Slavery does
not consist in ' tetriiory," it cotisi-t iu the
number of slaves. If 10,0C0. slaves are
spread over 100 square miles, there is no more
slavery than if they are confined iu 50 square
miles. The iucrease of slavery is precisely
in proportion to the natural mnhiplicalion of
blacks none being admitted from abroad.
The numbers multiply accoiding to the climate
aud their condition. In Massachusetts Clo
the last 50 years, ihey have been petted aud
their numbers hve decreased; at the Sou'h
Ihey have increased iu a ratio beyond any
other race. If increase of nu sobers is an in
dication of a good condiliou in life,no people
are so well off as Southern blacks. As the
territory of the uuiou extends Sooth, the slave
population presses that way. The annexa
tion of Texas, in a few years will add Vir
ginia and Delaware to the free states ; and
ultimately, as slave labor diminishes iu value,
the institution will become extinct, a-udour
gloiious union be free from the uuiveisally
lameuted stain. The paiasito liwyers -ay
"dissolve the uniou !" How will slavery be
diminished by that means? To diminish
slavery ii not their object; it is to swell the
importance of not; her u factions of politicians.
For this object we find the federal govern
ment trammelled by attempts to violate the
cotititulioo, and to immolate upon the altar
of finuiicism the rights guaranteed to the
South by the Constitution.
MR CALHOUN.
We know it will not only surprise, but
mortify our readers, to learn that Mr Calhoun
has-joined the Whigs nud Abolitionists on
the war question. A few days since he made
a Speech in the Senate, in which he indirect
ly denounced ihe admini--trnlJo!i for the war,
aud advocated distinctly the withdrawal of our
troops from Mexico, and a disgraceful back
ing out from the war. This is all we can
uow say, and all we would l:ke to say oi such
a subject. When Jhn C. Calhoun proves
receant, we give up."
The - above is fiom that able and useful
Democratic print, ihe Mecklenburgh Jeffer
souian a paper that has always heietofWe
been one of Mr Calhoun's most decided
friends and supporters. But never "give up"
friend Hampton never despair of ihe Re
public. Hold ou and fiyht ou the darkest
hour is always just befoie day. The South
has millions ol friends still left, and the Union

to giiwfr.a very explicit aud elucidated acrouut
of the mauuer in which the woik may bo ac

if it is oodei taken with the proper spirit, it
can and will be accomplished, und when
completed, will be the mot useful work of
iuieiual improvement in our Slate. It wtli
fully d'-velope the resources of the rich and
cultivated regions beyond ihe Yadkin, and
w ill le the means of couceu'uiting the pro

between thi-i and our neighboring States
it will also hiing to our mniket those prod clef

It will also create new articles of commerce;
which are uow prohibited, viz! tar and turpen

are t-Xteusive fureMs of pine laud, which are
uow only an expense to their oitncrs, not
yielding enough to pay their taxes. It i to
their ioieet, theiefoie, that this canal sh-oold
be made. Il will of course enhance the valuo
oftho-su Innd-i, aud will theiefore make the

of the canal.
It is for this purpose that I write this com'
iMuuicaiiou to impress it ou the minds of

pay out will be returned to them ten fold in
the course of time, by the increase of the
price of lauds.
