Esq., in behalf of the nicm ibcrs of the Bar, on presenting the above reso lutions to the Cuurt, said : Hay il please Your Honor: By a resolution adopted at a meeting of the members of the Bar, in.attendancc at this term, it was made my duty to bring to the notice of the Court the melancholy event which baa just occurred in our midst, and which now fills our hearts with the deepest sorrow. It is to announce the death of James Iredell, a member of our body. - pre-eminent for the extent and depth of bis pro fessional attainments who has won and worn the highest honors his native State could con fer but remembered and endeared to us more by his private virtues and his moral worth. i It cannot be necessary, in this place of his early triumphs, to tell who our deceased bro ther was. I need not refer to the period when he represented his State, in that most august tribunal, the United States Senate and again when be occupied the Executive Chair nor to the manner in which be discharged his official trusts, v Few men have lived to acquire and deserve " to such a degree the good opinion and entire confidence of those who have known him none better deserved that opinion and confidence. Endowed by nature with a strong and vigo rous intellect that intellect was disciplined and invigorated by thorough training, to the exercise of its highest powera while in beau tiful harmony with them, the nobler faculties . of bis moral nature, under a generous culture, . were developed and strengthened. No man '. was better fitted for distinguished usefulness, in civil or professional life. His great abilities equalled only by the excellence of his private character, and the possession of a noble heart, ho has passed through life, aud its vicissitudes, with his -patriotism unquestioned, and the purity of his aims above reproach. We are not unmindful of his services to the profession. For more than twelve years he has digested and reported the decisions of the high est Court of the State, and during this interval, besides his abridgements of the Statute law, he 4 as contributed a valuable work on the iaw of Executors. It has not been my privilege to form the ac quaintance of Mr. Iredell, until since bis remo val to Raleigh. By this community he is inti mately known, and here, during his absence, S his affections have still lingered, clinging to the . scenes "and associations of early years. Ho had returned o resume the duties of his profession, with a heart doubtless buoyant, yet sad. His purpose is doomed to disappoint ment. These walls will-echo no more to his eloquent appeals. He returns, as if led by an invisible hand, to end where he began life, and lay his own by the bones of his kindred. It is the spot of all others where he would most have desired to close the days of his earthly 'pilgrimage. The unexpressed wish has been realized, and his dust will soon mingle with the dust ofi the illustrious dead. To us the occasion is a fresh admonition. Let us aim to emulate his virtues and profit by his example. It remains for me only to present the resolutions adopted by tho Bar, and to re quest your Honor to direct that they be spread upon the minutes of this Court. KESPOXSE OF JIDCX SAUNDERS. Mr. Smith having moved that the resolutions adopted at a meeting of the Bar should be en tered on the journals of the Court, bis Honor, Judge Saunders, said in reply: He had long personally known the deceased, having met him as early as 1815, then a member of the lloufe ' of Commons from the town of Edenton. He was elected Speaker of the House, and by his high qualifications, and graceful manners, ren dered himself one of the most influential mem bers of the Legislature. He was an able and zealous adrocato of the system then adopted for the internal improvement of the State, and always to be found iu support of every enlight ened measure calculated to advance thecbarac- ter of the State. He was elected by tho Legis-! lature Governor, Senator of the United States, ' and filled other places of trust and of honor with great credit and distinction. He had been long a leading member of bis profession in this Circuit, and by his manly and flowing eloquence, his clear and sonorous voice, hi easy and pleasing" address, had occupied the foremost, rank at the Bar. In this old and beautiful Hall, of Colonial structure, his manly and commanding eloquence and powerful ar guments have often been heard. But alas 1 that musical voice shall be heard no mere. His health for a few years past has become greatly impaired, and,in some degree lessened his ca pacity for business, but to the last he was a la boring man, It is one of the mysterious orders of Providence, that, after an absence of ten years, he should have returned to the place of his nativity to the scenes of his early manhood, for which he bad ever cherished the fondest at- ' tachment, here to end bis days, and to have his remains repose by the side of those ancestors, whose virtues are found recorded on the monu mental marble, and whose distinguished public services are stamped, on the brightest page of out Revolutionary history. Let the resolutions I be entered on the records of the Court. I The Court was then adjourned by his Honor, I until 10 o'clock Friday morning. - A. Centenarian Negro, familiarly known as "Old Jacob died near Augusta Ga., on the 5tb inst He was purchased by Mr. Thos. Walker one of the oldest settlers ot the county, in 1768 as the bill of sale declares for 800; being then 20 years of age, making him at the time of his death 105 vearsold. During the Revolutionu- ' rywar he was frequently taken from his owner by marauding parties ot Whig or Tories, as one or the other happened to be in tho ascend ant and was eye-witness to many of the scenes of that eventful period. He would narrate with considerable eloquence the inglorious defeat at Brier Creek, of the Americans under Gen. Ashe. His ideas of the merits of the glori jus contest then going on, seem never to have ' been very well defined,' for when asked which service be preferred, Whig or Royalist, his reply was "wer'nt" no difference--all rogues, sir, all rogues." Doubtless a correct commentary up on his individual experience. - We understand the Hon. Solon Borland has declined the appointment he recently received -vuwr w siexico. vies wuarr Lane, removed. - ... From the.LondonLcader, April2.-vr , J ;A STORY OFDRESS:?4 AmonVtlie sijrhts'of London' I encountered rtm;tht ff tittle xnnitaA .t uo and It mav not be unintcrcs'ting)to some of ourT readers" down Sooth.' r I wm looking at the palace of the Kings not at al equal itt tho'White Housft which- Is o pen tdjBvcry citizen and it wsrs there "that a sigh struck, me "whTch was not quite pleasant forgone of uncle Sarns " nephews.' "A, bevy of fair ladies were leaving a great house with "a Crowd of folks looking at them, and. poliee ..to kcej order. The ladies had been attending a meeting to sympathize-, with Uncle 7b that benighted and maundering old -nigger, whose jargon helps to prevent our real statesmen from making the men of the South even listen to rea son. 1 Tbo poor ladies, however, ' looked more fit for a ball or a morning concert than for any political work 'in earnest v and their counte nances were guilty of nothing worse than a lit tle holiday bustle newly spiced with black pepper. ' " " ' But somothin g was . to happen besides this Uncle Tomerie." In tho crowd I saw a young couple who were waiting out of more than mere curiosity. You could see that by the eye of the girl. The young man also watched tho ladies as they came out, but evidently his care was the girl. At last a lady issued from the door a tall, handsome woman, with fine aristocrat ic features, bold yet delicate ; a very voluptu ous countenance, if the sensuous look had not been rendered harsh by a slight habitual sneer of scorn, very common with English people of "high birth," her face being also, if it is not rude to say so, a little hardened by time. She must have been a gloriou creature, aud she looked to think herself still so. She was in no hurry haste would have spoiled her costume. I wish I could describo it, but that jwould need a less republican pen than mine. Her noble throat rose out of a wide expanse of delicate and brilliant silk, softened with a largo white shawl and a variety of laoe, or whatever else it was ; but the taste of arrangement disposed the ma.sof soft strips aif todisplay.'and not to disr guise, the grace of her tall and rather slender figure. " That gown," said I to the young man, "cost more in the making than in the stuff." " It might in your country," he answered, turning round sharp to look at ue though I did not know that I had any peculiar accent ; but in this country the laoor is the least part of the cost, except to the laborer." He had an accent not quite English. "What have all these fair ladies been doing, sir !" I asked. "Meeting about Uncle Tom," said he, "I wish they would look to tho slaves in their own country." " We don't get up abolition meetings for the white niggers of Manchester, sir," said I. "No," said he, "I wish you did. But Man chester is not our South. There are worse places than that not so far uff." The fine lady came down the steps, and then the young woman, who had not attended at all to us, stepped close to the lady and spoke to her. A policeman came forward to reniovo the girl; and my blood boiled to seo a fellow in a glazed hat attempt to touch a female; but the lady herself stopped him with a wave of her hand. The girl repeated what she said, but I did not hoar it. The lady looked not surpris ed, she was too "proud for that, but unbelieving. The girl azain spoke ; and the lady again re plied ; and then thj lady motioQcd to the girl i ran i t . J! to get into ner carriage, iney uotn got in; ana after a few words to the footman a tine gentle man, in a lovely, delicate, blue coat, with white gloves, and cheek like a girl's the carriage drove off. The young man looked for an instant into my face, and then aJted me if I could run. Without reply, I joined him in following the carriage. We ran barely a mile and then we arrived at the door of a poor house, in a small street, before the carriage. The young man followed the woman, and I followed him; uo body stopping me, I suppose, because I did not look as if I expected they would. A sense of silence came over us as we went up stairs, and the rustling of the fine lady's dress was the loudest noiSe as we crept up. U e all entered a small room, and as we did so a child began to crv. The young woman took it from another who held it, to suckle it, and to stay the little voice which disturbed the quiet room with its healthy discontent. ! The silence lay thickest at the further end on a narrow, white bed, which the lady ap proached, and gazed upon. On it lay a young 1 woman, but partially undressed, ghastly pale, with her eves closed. By her side, with its head pillowed on the arm that partly clasped it, lay a little child ; like its mother in paleness, like her in its closed eyes, but unlike her.whose breath was scarcely heard, in its short and painful breathing, which would have been loud had it not sunk to the hurried whisper of de parting life. Wc all gazed for a minute in silence and in reverence for mortal suffering, which calls alike republican and aristocratic, rich and poor, to account. The lady looked at the sick woman and then at the dark-eyed1 young girl who had brought her, and who kept her eyes fixed on the lady : the proud woman's look seemed to say, why she had been brought there. .." Jessy wished mo to fetch jou," cried, the happier mother, for she could nourish and quiet her child. I noticed that there was no ring up on her finger, however. ' Poor thing ! But I would have assisted her without" and tho lady put her hand into her pocket for her purse. " No, it is too late for that. You must do something else for her. and you are bound, you are doublv bound." Again the lady's proud eyes looked a ques tion. There was no fear in her face, but her glance round implied a challenge of tho right to keep her there. " It was your haughty haste that killed her ; it was your's that brought her so near death. Yes, Lady Julia, I do not mean to offend you, but you oxujld to know the truth such as you ought to know it. That is a beautiful dress you have on, very beautiful, far too beautiful for poor Jessy to wear. But when did you order it? Was there time for human hands to make it before 'you must have it,' for this very dav ? And who set the finish to that beautiful dress T Whose aching fingers put the last work into it? Jessy's there; and when I took it from her last nijrht, she lay down to die!" The proud lady was silent ; hef eyes bent upon the dying woman without retort, and her haughty features softened to a gaze of reflect ing sorrow ; for these English women hate hearts in their bosoms, haughty and cold as they seem at least some have. Suddenly the lady's manner altered, as if she threw off some man tle of prido and restraint, and turning once more to the girl who brought her, with a low, simple, direct way of speaking, she said, "and what can be done now ?" "One thing to let pride of luxury come and do homage to want and misery, when death raises the lowly above the high." "I have done that" Next, to bring justice and consolation to parting life. On tbaf bed lies, half conscious, the poor seamstress who died at her needle it is a' common end enough. But that same woman not half your age do you see her child?" . The lady bowed. ... "How much would you rate its Jifo worth ? Why isv.it there at all ? Why come into the world only to look for a few uncertain days up on iu misery ? .. Who called it ?'.' . j. . The girl paused, as a sigh from the 'dying woman summoned her attention, but she went on, bent to make out the retribution where re demption could not come, v. 1 "Lady Julia, do you know what it is to have temptations hopes of the heart where no straight path of hope appears ? . You cannot. If ever you are tempted and you are- and you yield, your face tells ft you hava not been driven by total wretchedness and despair love never visited yon in misery, and privation." and endless toil i never came from a distant world of pleasure and power ; never whipererinto J your wearied ear, that pleasure mightJn? itself i bis a reUaie from slkvePf I never -won you" to one short dream of delirious delight. and then I left you; back in thai nightmare ot pieasureies 'toiL-.to await th consequences of , pleasure fcikeru-pleasuro srrairted. without bond exacted. "Bat it did come so to poor Jessy there. V r -J The lady began to look impatient. I notice oT these English that tney can never nsie" any narrativo of suffering save when they tell it of. themselves. - ' " . ' You are looking at my hand," said the girl, holding ifoirt, to confess by the act that it was ringless, "but I was not deserted. Trouble and sorrow.have t but do not despair. .Bertrand, take the darling." She gave ber own baby to the young man, and stooped, over tho other's child. . Now, 'Lady Julia, look closer, and see if in this poor deadi-wtricken creature's face you can trace a proud likeness. Jessy, on her deserted death-bed, has conceived a longing to seethe father of her child. Both will be gone soon,' and why should not that little wish be gratified? Would the father grudge that trou ble ? he took more to persuade Jessy out of her hard poverty into his pleasure! Would he be too much of a coward to visit this poor room where suffering and ghastly death havo suc ceeded love." Lady Julia looked to 6ec if an answer was expected to questions that seemed so abstract. "Do not be amazed, for it is you only can answer. Poor Jeasy's last toil was to finish the gown you wear. The father of her child is your sun. A dead silence followed this somewhat start ling announcement, and the girl evidently took a pleasure, which Bertrand shared, in driving home the knife. Doubly had poor Jessy's life been sacrificed to the pleasure of Lady Julia's blood. The lady stooped down and kissed the child, not hastily ; and then Htooping lower, she kiss ed the moveless hand of its mother. "Send for him," said the girl. "I will fetch him," said Lady Julia, rising. "I seo the likeness. But take this, my gaod girl ;" and she tried to force her purso into the reproacher's hand. "It is too late." "I hope not skilful aid ; and," 6he added, yielding to the hopelessness plainly written on the aspect of that cheerless room, "if not for them, at least for yourself and your " With a passionate burst of tears tho girl dashed tho clanking purse upon the ground, and then kneeling to the dying woman, whom her grief startled from the apathy of death, she cast her arms over her, and cried : "Forgive me, Jessy My darling Jessy ; I could not help it, dear; I would not bear that offered to me here, by your bedside. Get better, dear, for he will come : and do not tell me that I killed you by my wicked thoughtlessness. Jessy's faint lips moved with a smile that died in coining. The girl laid her head upon her friend, and gent:y nobbed. "For Heaven's sake try to calm her," said Lady Julia to Bertrand ; I will go to fetch him. I will bring him myself." She left the room with a head less proudly lifted than when she entered it : but I thought her face looked far more beautiful in its down cast tears than when it was confronting the public gaze in tho great portico. Bertrand, who is a ..young Frenchman, bred in England, told me tho whole story ; but there is a little more to add. Wc left Jessy to die alone with the father of her dead child, who wa honorably brought back to her. And some atonement has been made to Anna, her friend. I think she had the subscription meant for "Uncle Tom" many times multiplied ; but that did not, truth makes me confess, rein her tongue when she found that Jessy could no longer be disturbed by the reproach showered npon the recreant lover. I must confess, too, that he boldly did his duty in undergoing the pen ance ; which I believe few of these demoralised Englishmen would have had the manliness to bear, and which it relieved Anna's hoart to in flict. Also, he did duty in attending as mourn er when we buried Jessy. But how much bet ter if he had thought of his penance before ; how much better if thoso well-meaning, easy going reformers, who set up to teach us in America how to put the world to rights at a blow, would think of the path by which their luxuries reach their own dainty selves ! How many Jessys, each following the other as she perishes, it takes to clothe tho Lady Julia through all the seasons she enjoys ! In our paper, to-day, we copy from the Loudon Leader, one of the bot of English weekly journals, a story which is worthy of pe rusal. It is not all a story. It is really a fea ture of the results of English society. Aunt Harriet has never been enabled to rake up any thing in the South that can at all t uipare with execsssive distress and misery as this story, not at all overdrawn, brings before us. In the se quel to her book, a review of which, in the Tri bune, has been for some days before us, she has attempted to substantiate the justice of her "Uncle Tom" by the display of what she calls facts ; but there are some of them that are grossly distorted, and others utterly untrue and unfounded while the Examiner shews that one case, located by her in Charleston, newr happened there at all, but took place in Penn sylvania! Yet, admitting that all she says were true, it would fall short of the misery, the awful consequences of illicit intercourse, seduc tion and vice, in the North as well as England. Old Mrs. Stowe has endeavored to maintain herself by seeking out horriblo things to prove the debased state of morals in the South the same mode of reasoning would prove a far great er condition of human degradation in the North. There are monsters every where Aunt "Beeeher" Stowe is rather out of her place, if not a monster herself. But there are fewer social monstrosities in the South than there are either at the North or in England, and the consequences of them are of a type in conceivably milder than those in any of the ab olition countries that can be i.amed. This fact is maintainable with proof. If Aunt II. is a lunatic, and not a knave if she be entitled in the slightest degree to the titlo of Petticoated Peter the Hermit (Peter was sincere) she will look into the w hi ted sepulchres of England and when sho does, she will find that she has struck upon something many fold more horri ble than any thing connected with American slavery ! Richmond Dispatch. Female Compositors. The New York papers are rejoicing at the success of the girls in that city as compositors.' As the journeymen have attempted to limit the number of apprentices the "bosses" shall take, it is proposed to open schools for teaching boys and girls to set type, otherwise printers would become scarce in this country, except by emigration. The New York Times, in an article on the subject, is glad that a new opening is found for the working girls in the printing offices, and rejoices that tho Day Book has made a practical beginning in the matter. The editor adds : "We see no reason why type-setting should not bo made accessible to them, (thegirls,) in many of its departments. They cannot, of course, do the hard and heavy work of news papers, and especially of morning journals. But upon weekly papers and book-work tho labor of girls, so far-as typesetting is concerned, may be made at least as available as that of boys. In Boston they are already employed in this way to a very gTeat extent; and we hope the system vil. bo introduced, encouraged and ex tended here." We see. that on account of a strike among the journeymen printers, some of the northern offi ces have determined to adopt the plan of em ploying female compositors. We would favor the plan in our office but for the fear the boys would not work as diligently as under the pre sent system, and -were we to. employ girls alto- fjetber, we should have to make our better half oreman, and then we might be -dismissed, per haps. - So, taking all things into consideration, we think we shall, stick, to the present order of thing and-Ietthe'womenfolia attend to their own matter. If 'arremton 2?evs- LOCOFOrO nARMOXY;. v The harmony of 1 the Locofoeos - is truly sur prising. Ever where at the South the Tnion men; are being hammered by the .anU-compror mise wing.! , -Did eve a clown' In .Pan,Jice s circus turn so many amaxing somersets as some of the leaders and newspapers, of thw party, are continually performing -Locofoeos, we sincerely believe, are made of gutta pereha. How they do stretch 1 They elected Mr, Pierce on the grounds of his compromiseafRnitics, yet they abuse every Southern Compromise man! They praise n compromise man at the north as the pink of patriotism, yet they condemn him virulently at the South. Pierce is truo to the south.' Why ? becauso he will carry out thvj compromise. ''Hurrah! we'll elect Pierce ' 'Foot and Cobb are treacherous deceivers, and should not be considered Locofoeos. Why? Because they are compromise men !' During the election it was the compromise this, and the compromise that, and the compromise every thing. .Mr. Pierce was a walking compromise bound in calf-skin : Scott was a terrible anti compromise man. The Whigs were gulled. They were lukewarm and refused to vote for Scott. The Locofoeos elected Pierce, and now they abuse the very men and the very measure which secured his majority I Isn't this the moat astonishing political somerset that ever you heard of? Before the election it was all harmony, all conciliation. There was no thun der to render sour the sweet milk of part. Leading Secessionists united with leading Union men : distinguished Abolitionists shook hands with great Calhounites. The rainbow arched up, formed of tho tears of the Whig party, and promised a glorious and happy future. Now, every body is abusing the compromise men. What adhesiveness the Locofoeos do possess ? They cannot be separated from the common mass. Were we compromise Locofoeos we should commence a bittor and exterminating war against all other Locofoeos. And were we Southern Rights' Locofoeos, we should fight the other Locofoeos to the death. Really we get bewildered when we revolve these things ; we do not know what Leofocoism is coming to. We won't know what wc are writing about or against if the newspapers don't havo soino con sistency. They talk excessively about harmony, yet they quarrel nil the time. They iuvito all the Locofoeos to meet in convention, and yet they say a compromise man can't or should'nt be a Locefoco. The fact is, Mr. Pierce's course is fast bringing on a dangerous crisis. He is fast converting the Locofoeos of the South into hot Southern Rights agitators. It was imagin ed that Mr. Fierce had some judgment. It was supposed that therein laid his qualifications for the Presidency ; for it was known that he was not possessed of distinguished talents. But we think he has less judgment than any man we ever saw, so far as appointments to office can prove the want of it. lie has chosen tho hot test tire-eaters he could tind to fill the most im portant places. What's the use of his talking of love for the Union when his official acts are fostering that party which hates and abhors the Union ? That he is sincere, we believe, but nature has not endowed him with the usual amount of judgment and discrimination, lie has been desperately gulled by a few abolition ists and freesoilers. They have given to them selves an im portance which they never possess ed, and Mr. Pierce, filled with the absurd ideas which Northerners have of the South, has fan cied that every body had his sword drawn ready to march to Washington to butcher the North ern females and children. That party which was in favor of Secession was prostrate, over whelmed and utterly beaten. It had no vitalit in it. It hid its head even in South Carolina. Mr. Pierce has breathed new life into it. It stalKs proudly through the land. It brands compromise men as traitors. It refuses to re commend or nominate them for office. Was it wise to reanimate this dead monster? Was it wisdom to open the doors of a menagerie and 1 loscn the animals to roam untraramcled ? Yet, Mr. Tierce has done these things, and has thereby given a severer blow to this Union than all the legislation that our records display. Had Andrew Jackson been in office, does any man believe that he would havo done these things? Would he have pursued this half-way, namby-pamby, rnnciliatin-i (!) ourse. We would like for Mr. Pierce to read a few news papers that are published in this and adjoining States, that he might see how the Locofoeos speak of Foote, and Cobb, &o. lie would dis cover to his strange enlightenment; we suppose, that the conciliation and love that he is culti vating are like no other recorded lore but that which a savage had for some great and good good missionary (we forget his name). A brother missionary newly arrived at the South Sea Islands was inquiring about his predeces sor. Said a very mild and christian looking savage : " lie was a very good man, I liked him very much I ate a piece of him ." The anti-compromise wing of Locofocoism will some day make a similar answer to the dis tinguished missionary of Southern lovo and conciliation who now occupies the Executive seat of this united people. They will say : we liko the Compromise Union men very much ; they we're very good people wo finished them entirely. Stliua Reporter. THE WHIG PARTY. The Whig party has c mo out of the late Presidential contest in a better condition, and with fewer drawbacks to its u timate success, than has ever before been its fortune. It is now happily rid of all tiro mere hangers-on, and camp followers, whose connexion with any party is always a mere dependence upon its ca pability to distribute patronage. It is now tho true pietal purified by the last campaign of the dross which served but to diminish its efficien cy and acknowledging as its members none but those who are thoroughly and 'radical ly grounded in its established faith. It needs but a proper presentation of its principles and its policy to the people of this country to attract to its banner all who love country more than par ty, and who are disposed to throw off the gall ing yoke which selfish leaders, for their own private ends, have imposed upon them. Fredericksburg Herald. Sensible to toe Last. It has long been observed by the medical writers that death is frequently preceded by insanity a fact which has occasioned the remark that it was not as tonishing, foe, everybody knew that when folks get madder they were about to dye. This re minds us of .a case which occurred many years ago in the Philadelphia court, where a pretty young widow was in danger of losing two thirds of her husband's estate ;his relatives grounding their claims on the alleged insanity of the def unct. It may be as well to premise that the presiding judgo was not only convivial but alio very gallant. "What were your husband's last words?" in quired the attorney. The pretty young widow blushed, and look ing down replied, "I'd rather not tell." "But indeed you must, ma'am. Your claim may bo decided by it." Still blushing, the widow declined to tell. . At last a direct appeal from the bench elicited the information : "He said, "Kiss me, Polly, and open that other bottle of champagne!' " We knew not whether it was admiration for the deceased husband or the living wife that in spired the judge, at this instant, but he at once cried with all the enthusiasm of conviction, 44 Sensible to the last by Blackstone I" An eminent chemist in New York, under the direction of the District Attorney, visited the Tombs bow appropriate the name! where the four persons died in one cell from foul air, and tested the condition of the cell in which the un fortunate men were confined.

Odom, Sec'y. I W1IAT IS "PROGRESS The following from Henry Clay, which we extract from a speech delivered in the Senate, on the 7th of January, 1850, in reply to a speech of Gen. Cass, on his proposition to suspend di plomatic intercourse with Austria, breathes the sentiments of true progress, and should be con stautly held up before lite National mind, aud indelibly impressed upon the National heart. Ltesburg Wash inylouiaii. "Mr. President, the honorable Senator admit ted that he entertained an apprehension that I was one of those stationary politicians who re fuse to advance us the age advances ; one of those politicians, 1 think his expression was, that stand still ; that he was in favor of Progress in favor of going ahead. Sir, I should like to understand tho meaning of this word "Pro gress," of which the honorable Senator speaks. 1 should like to hear a definition of it. Has not this nation progressed with most astonishing rapidity in point of population ? Has it not by tar exceeded, in this respect, every other nation in the world? lias it not progressed in com merce and manufactures ? Has it not increased in power with a rapidity greater than ever has been known before in the case of any other na tion under the sun? What is the progress which the honorable Senator means? 1 am alraid that it is not an internal progress he is in favor of; for, whatsoever his own peculiar opinions may be, the school, of which he is a distinguished disciple, is opposed, as I under stand, to the improvementof our magnificent har bors and rivers ofolir glorious water-courses throughout the country. That is not the pro gress, I apprehend, wnich the honorable Sen ator is in favor of. And again, with respect to the manufactures of the couutry, I do not un derstand the doctrines of the party to which the honorable Senator belongs, to be in favor of progress there. They are for arresting progress. Their progress is backward in reference to these matters ; not intentionally so, I admit, but by the course of their policy, they carry us back to the colonial days, when we depended upon Great Britain for everything in the way of sup plies that were necessary to existence. "What, then, is the progress which the hon orable Senator seems so desirous of making? Ah ! I am afraid it is the progress in foriegn wars. 1 am afraid it is the progress in foreign conquest in territorial aggrandizement. 1 am afraid it is progress as the disturbers of the possessions of our neighbors throughout the is lands adjacent to it. If that be the progress which the honorable Senator wishes to effect. I trust that it will bo long before the country engages in any such objtct as that; at the least, at the expense of the peaceful portion of the world. " Sir, the gentleman says what we all know that this is a great couutry, a vast country ; great in fact, and will be still greater in future if wc conduct things with prudence, discretion, and wisdom ; but that very greatness draws af ter it great responsibilities, and those respon sibilities should incline us to use the vast pow er with which we have been blessed by the kindness of Providence, so as to promote jus tice, so as to avoid unnecessary wars, main taining our rights with firmness, but invading the rights of no others. We should be content with the almost limitless extent of territory which we now possess, stretching from ocean to ocean, containing millions upon millions of acres as yet uninhabited. "Sir, if the progref a which tho honorable Sen ator means is a progress to be accomplished by foreign wars, and foreign conquest, and foreign territorial aggrandizement, I thank God that I belong to the party that is stationary that is standing'still. If that i8 not his object, I should liko to know what he means by progress. I should Irke to meet with a definition of the kind of progress which he thinks it is desirable for this country to make." The Heart about to .bk Conquered bt the Stomach. The principal hotel-keepers of this city have raised the price of board. The land lords who have hitherto charged $2 per day now charge $2.50; $1.50 houses have advanced to $2, and 1.25 houses charge $1.50. All the hotel-keepers but two have entered into thin ar rangement. This raising the prico of bread is ticklish bus incss. It occasioned more than one revolution in Rome. The speech of old Mene nius Agrippa, on tho "belly and its members," should not be forgotten. The movement of the hotel-keepers is a "death-blow" to the bache lors, a highly respectable class of gentlemen, 1 wuo, uis wen Known, embrace nearly one-half of the hotel customers. Those inoffensive indi viduals will now, from necessity, have to do that which they have hitherto declined to do, even for love's sake. The hearts that have withstood beauty will have to surrender or die.
