Ktok genus. We have as yet been able to give only a rapid glance over its pages; but we have seen enough to sa tisfy us that the Southern Literary Journal need not fear a comparison with any of its competitors fjir the patronage of the reading public. It draws its contribu tions from diilerent sections of our country, with that freedom from local prejulices whic! should ever dis tinguish Literature; and its tone is nevertheless decided ly Southern. This we regard as no small recommend ation. It is impa-sible lor any literary Journal r.ot to exhibit a character more or less tinctured by the insti tutions, customs, and habits of thinking and feeling of the community in wh;c!i it is published. This being the case, we need at the present time especially, i pe ri:jdieal whose literature shall accord with our peculiar institutions and feel in js which shall be, in one word. Southern. That the Southern Literary Journal will lo sjc.'i we have every as- irance. The f -llowuiir is the Talle of Contents to this No : Original Articles.

The c:t:7.ens of Nashville, Ten nessee, have appointed a Committee of Vigilance of CO of their most respectable citizens lor the protection of that Town again&t the inroads of Abolition emissaries. This Committee adopted the following Preamble and Resolutions; which we. would recommend to the people of every section of the South as an example wort ay of imitation. It is, to le sure, a f.ir-ofi" way of react tin j tbr abolitionists; but no means, however small, should be spared, to defend ourselves agninsl their lawless tam enngs with cnir property and safety. It will al-o show those pmonjst us, who are so ret kless as to purtme a course sodirrctly opposed toourbest interests fv)r the' pur p?e of saving a si.rjencr that they are not to encourage men who would not scruple to involve us in a servile civil war that would drench the soil of the South with the blood of its citizens. Tiie Preamble and Resolu tions were wdopted unanimously: " Wiifhi;-, it is believed by tins Committee, that fun is to a laru-e amount have loeii rontrihute.1 !y Ar thur Tappan and other Fanatics of New Vork, for the purpose of disseminating through tiie Southern and "Western S'ates, incendiary pamphlets, inciting the SI ives to revolt; and it is known that many of our Mer chants are in the h i'!t of mirehasing rroo Is of said Tap pau.

Wo see it stated in a M nphis, Tennessee, paper of the cth tilt., on the authority of private letters, that two more men were sum narily execute I by the citizens of Vicksburir a few days previous. One of the men was named Urly, a noted neuro stealer and counterfeiter. Whatever may be the necessity f r protecting the com munity against the inroads of these demons, it is to be deeply regretted that the strong and effectual arm of the law has been so long and often superseded in Mis sissippi by the vengeance of an infuriated populace. There may be instances, we confess, in which pou'ar vengeance does nit excel the deserts of crime, but ours is a government of laws, in which a trial by jury is secured to the meanest culprit; and of this right none ehould be deprived. OT" Sickening. The E liter of a certain paper in Xorth Carolina, announces his intention of stopping the publication of his present she-t, as he inten Is, on the first of January next, to commence another which is t be a real Southern paper in principle ; one that shall assert the rights of the South in a fearless and in depen 1 it manner. We thought this was doing pret ty well for lhat Editor. But, in a littlo paragraph, in the same- no. of his paper, he throws the whole matter into pi; by saying, in good earnest, that North Carolina is decidedly in favor of Van Buren and Johnson, fir President anl Vice President! A follow who would boast of his Southern principles, and, at the same time advorate the dihnof the A'nazamrttion candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, ought to be Eent to a Lunatic Asylum.

So, so! the surgeon tiien is f r curing the sore, by destroying the patient! This, indeed, is curing with a venir'-nce.

This, however, does not reconcile me lo slavery: all things considered, I deem it a sore evil. Had you, then, taking both sides of the question into consideration, shown a willingness to lend us your aid, in devising some rational plan fir removing the evil aye, and a willingness to bear a liberal share of the burden a burden lor which Oi l England and New England are deeply responsible you would have acted the part of brethren indeed.

HILL, Esq., of Wil mington, has created a gloom which is not confined to Wilmington only. Wherever he was known, the mel ancholy circumstance is a matter of deep regret. Mr. Hill died in Wilmington on the 20th ultimo. The fol lowing remarks are from the Advertiser of the -1th in stant : "The event Lad been dreaded for two or three days ; yet the melancholy anticipations could "not meliorate the sincere sorrows that pervaded our whole communi ty, when it was ascertained that the. beloved and inesti mable citizen was no more. His more intimate associ ates alone can feel the bitter pangs that attend the se verance of the finer cords that entwine around the heart and attune it to love and friendship. But all, in their relative situations, feel the loss of the patriot; the cham pion of the oppressed ; the friend of the fatherless ; the consoler of the unfortunate. Mr. Hill was too well known throughout our State, to require the aid of eulo gy to embalm his memory: but wc cannot permit so saddening an event to pass, without endeavoring to of- ier a tniiuta to departed excellence. Ins miiiu was of the higher or a brilliant genius, refined and chastened by an erudite and polished education. He stood in the f iremost rank at the Bir of our State, and his oratorv. if not emendatory of f irensic disputation, was f ascina ting and effective calling to its aid a discriminating judgment, lucid reasoning, and ficildy of utterance. Those parts of Mr. Hill's cliaracter which owed their strength to education, were formed from tiie most per fect models; the original traits arose from the impulses of his own benevolent and honest heirt. While in the I legislature, no man possessed a more commanding in fluence. This influence he owed to his intrinsic merit not to the power of wealth ; for he was too sentient to the wants of others to become rica. It is an allect ing circumstance of this melancholy event, that the nearest connexions of the deceased are absent; and that the o! ject of his tenderest attachment, kt not the sa cred virgil near the couch of her dying husband but, if we could be so impressed, it is best, even thus; for such was the will of Co l.

A gentleman from Lexington, Va., informs us that, on the ii'i.id ult., the orderly itiz mis of that little village were thrown into a state of u little excitement, by the arrival of a mtn whom rumor had designated as an active and i uluetiti il Aboli tionist from the North no less a personage than James F. Otis, a distinguished lawyer f Portland, Maine, and co-editor of a paper printed in that place. It appeared that Mr. Oiis h id been to the Virginia Springs, and, while o:i his return home wards, in the Stag", had indulged the unruly mem ber, with no littlo freedom, on the Abolition ques tion, lie was understood to have asserted, in al lusion to the rewards reported to have been offered in the bouth for Tappan and his leading associates, that the Southern people were "all wind" that, if Tappan cc Co. should come among us, we would be glad to take off our hats to them, instead of ar resting and punishing them and asked, if we were so eager to seize Abolitionists, why he was permit ted to travel unmolested among us that he profess ed their sentiments, was a leading member of their Society, attended Anti-Slavery Conventions, made Abolition speeches, Acc. and was as ready as they to .stiff t martyrdom in the cause ! As soon as these facts were made known in Lexington, a gentleman of the the place, (being led further to suspect .Mr. Otis, from the fact, that, in going to the Natural llridge, he had refused to leave his trunk behind, as his companions in the trip had done,) applied to several magistrates to procure a warrant to appre hend and search him all of whom declined, in the absence of a sjtccific charge, to grant the warrant, until they were at length assured that Judge Lvnch would take the matter in his own hands. A war rant was then obtained. As soon as the company returned to Lexington from the Bridge, the carriage was surrounded by an excited multitude; and Mr. Otis, perceiving the unpleasant predicament in which his imprudence to call it by no harshor name had involved him, endeavored to allay the storm he had excited, by declaring that his sentiments had been wholly mis understood that he had, it was true, his own pe culiar notions upon the subject of Slavery, but that, since he, had visited the South, he was perfectly convinced that Abolition was utterly impracticable, and that the Slave population were in a better condi tion thanthe white laboring classes of the North, that he admitted the exclusive control of the whole matter was vested in the South, and denied that the non-slave-holding States had any right whatever to interfere with it. He made, indeed, such strenu ous protestations of his innocence of all evil design ; and these protestations being. supported, upon an examination of his person a.nd baggage by the ab- sence oPall tangible evidence to the contrary-, that, notwithstanding several persons in the crowd, not' notwithstanding several persons in the crowd, not entirelv satisfied, were in favor of Lvnrhinir hi.n he was, by the active exertions of others, and the gen . ' . - eral repugnance of the community to punish except upon the clearest evidences of guilt, permitted to go unscathed. It is proper to observe here, that Mr. Otis ur gently requested that no publication should be made of the nfiair or at least, that his name might le concealed ; and, in order to ave his feelings, it was so promised. But, two or three day s after his de parture from Lexington, the Richmond Knquirer, of the 2 1 st, was received at that place, containing an extract from the Argus, printed in Portland, ! (Mr. O's. place of residence,) stating that he has "long been a furious Anti-Slavery advocate, has de livered public addresses on the subject, attended Conventions, and disseminated, so far as his public influence extended, the disorganizing and detestable principles of that crew of fanatics,1' and warning the people of the South to be on their guard against him thus confirming the character given bv him- self of himself in the Stage, when he was so eager for the crown of martyrdon, but which he found it convenient to deny when the said crown glittered liefore his terrified vision. This extract, the gen tlemen who promised Mr. Otis to conceal his name, consider absolves them from that pledge; and they therefore feci at perfect liberty to hold him up to the detestation of the South, as a dangerous incen diary, and to the scorn of the Alolitionists them selves, as a dastardly deserter of his principles. The gentleman was lucky in leaving Lexington before the Enquirer reached that place. Had it preceded him, he would, wo are assured, have inevitable been Lynched ; a late from which his talents and his ersonal respectability, so far from exempting him, would only have rendered more certain. We deeply regret the state of feeling which the occurrence of such scenes but too plainly indicate: He the consequences on those fanatics who have excited it. They who sow the wind must uot com plain if they reap the whirlwind. From the Christian 'Watchman. AMERICAN TEMPERANCE SOCIETY. The Aunual Meel" ig of the American Temp ranee Society was held in Park Street Church, on Tuesday, May J0, at i) o'clock, A.M. The meeting hav ing been opened by prayer, extracts from the Annual Report were read by the Corresponding Secretary. These extracts were full and interesting, and indicate that the Report is not mf'-rior to the preceding able document of the society of the sime class. We have room only for a few f icts presented in the extracts read. It appears tint there are now formed in this country S.tMO IVmporance Societies, with 1,500,0'K) members ; that up -.Yards of 1,000 distilleries have ben abandoned; lhat S.000 vendors have ceased to traffic in ardent spi rits since the com neacement ot the reform, and that at least lg.irJJ vessels now sail from different ports in the United States without anient spirits as an article of drink. And the progress of the reform in oiher countries, has b en equally encouraging. In England, particula rly, the attention to the subject of Temperance has increa se 1, with manifestly beneficial effects. Editions, amount ing in all to loO.OOO copies, of tiie American Report on the tratlic have been publislit.nl in that eounjry ; and the subject has engaged the attention of Parliament, in which body a committee has been appointed, whose sessions have already numb .'red twenty days, during which period they have examined a large number of dealers and othr persons. Meetings have also been held in various towns and cities, an l there have been other decisive evidences that the cause is advancing. In England, beer, and not, as in this country, ardent spirits, is the banof the people, ant ibe ple-le, therefore, instea-t of referring only to ardent spirits, includes abstinence from all intoxicating drinks. The Report contains many facts which have transpired at the public meetings of the comon people, evidencing tbat multitude sare interested in the reform, an I that it has been blessed to the temporal and eter nal sahation of many individuals. One individual, who had earned by his debaucheries the epithet, "king of drunkards ater he was reformed, asserted that it he !n I not signed the Te nperance pllge and an opportu nity odere l, with his present feelings, he would press Pur ward "though one hundred devils, and one hundred d n'gers should stand in his way." Another individual, a drunkard of g0 years stan ling, who had tried all the specifis which the friends of moderate drinking had suggested, aud had grown no bet er, but rather worse, when he hard of the totil abstinence society, said, " that's the society for me ;' an.l the event proved that he was right, for h became a thorougly reformed man. A (other of 20, another of 3o, another ot '2o yearsstand ing, and another fir many -ears a confirmed drunkard, bee imp the happy subjects of the reform, and have since all ak a their stations as talented and respectable mem bers of society. Accounts have also been received from Ru-si-u Sweden, Finl md, Burma h, Sumitra. Egypt, Cape of Oood Hop Hia lostan, and Africa. The Re port abounds with ficts, principles, and arguments, all going to show two things, viz: 1, that wherever intox icating liquors have be m use!, they have been signally the great cause of all evil ; and "2, that wherever the moral indue nee of the Temperance reform has been brought to bear, men have been induced to give up this agent of destruction. Tne American Temperance So ciety are therefore encouraged to proceed in their labors. They have been years collecting facts and arguments on this subject; and it is their intention now to embody, in a single volum a con lensed view of all the results of their labors a volume which shall comprise the his tory and the principles of the Temperance reform and to send this volume, with a letter, to at least 2,000 in telligent men of other countries and to circulate it wide ly at home, that the reasons of this great moral move ment to its farther prosecution, till a complete triumph shall have been affected, may be known far and near. Facts are the voice of God in his providence speaking to men. Cod will speak by means of the facts in this volume, in a tone which must command the attention of all who wish to free their fellow men from the cruel despotism of vice. 07- A writer in the National Intelligencer, descri bed by the Editors as a distinguished citizen and expe rienced lawyer of a non-slaveholding State, speaking of the Abolitionists, say3 "Two of the most conspicuous of the n laid the foundation of ther ample fortunes by carrying on an illicit trade with the enemy, (during the late war,) and by making collusive captures" Nothing more natural than that those who commenced their ca reer by one species of villiany should terminate it by another. We suppose they imagine they are buying from Heaven, by squandering in fanatical schemes of mock philanthropy the fortunes they acquired by rogue ry, a pardon for past transgressions and a passport to Pa raside as the deluded Roman Catholic, whose gold is the wages of iniquity, buys from the priest a passport through the fires of purgatory. We wish the Intelli gencer's correspondent had told us the names of the two prostitutes termed prudes Is Tappan ne of them ? Lynchburg Virginian. Singular. There have been many circumstances related of our revolution and the great men who projec ted and carried it through, which, were they not so well attested Led, would almost induce a suspicion of their tr ith; I but the he following striking coincidence is one of which ; we do not recollect ever before having seen a notice of: Washington born Feb. 22, 1732, inaugurated 1789; term of service expired in the G'lth year of his age. Joha Adarcs bora Oct IP, 1735, inaugurated 1797 ; set j term of dtrvice expired in the (5otb year of his age ' Jeder Jelerson born April 2 174?, inaugurated 101 ; teiii i ot s-rvice expired in the Goth year of his age. i- i r u - i-r-t ; , ,.,.1 i;o. .ntuit-uii mnii viarcu .7, ljoi, uiauuunu i tj , term of service expired in the 63th year of his age.
