A BRIEF DISCOURSE. the old house is . tenantless, and there ..nobody fhere to say good night, and . noth ing but the rain can come in, "and the birds that have built them a nest among the bro ken stories of the hearth, and the sheep that take shelter from : the pitiless storm under" the wall that is whole; 'and yet, now wo think of it, there; is a wonderful dignity about the old place. Its ro'onis were not very spacious,; little tapestry jadorned the walls ; the eaves were low, and mosy, and gray ; but did we not-begin to live, and to love, and hopethere ? Did toot the old i have very much to do with the fashioning of -our. thoughts ? Was it not, as it were, an bumble mould,for the shaping of 'our fancies ?( Did we not bear away wth .us, wherever we went, a cabinet ojf pictures that were painted there? Have you forgotten what a shapeless thing it was; that used to lurk in the dark at the top of the Itairs, always in wait to catch you oir your jsray to .bed, but never doing it? And what long-drawn sighs used to come moaning down the gar ret, and what trailing garment rustle along the garret floor ! How we fancied it 4 was a lady in' a castle a ladv fair and voiinc- and we so many champions to sound the tmgle at the gate, and bear Tier safe away.

But a short time since it was quite dis couraging to the old line Whigs to witnes so many of the educated 'and intelligent young men of , the country forsaking - the faith of their fathres and going over to Democracy.

It is true that through the instrumentality of the Whig party, he had for many years occupied an elevatea and an honerable po sition, and that the Whigs had during.' a long life heaped many honors ugph ' his head, and fetrown his pathway with many fragrant and delicious flowers, yet- who can have the heart to condemn the aged man for the great (love .he bore his Thomas ; or who Can cry but against him because his eyes, which had grown dim by reasonof age, were daszeled and bewildered by the brilliant honors of the Democratic party were heaping upon his family?

Foote Cobb, Clemens, and others did in 1850. - 3. ; Resistance to abolition can be better effected by retaliatory measures in tbe Legislatures of the Southern States, than by a feouthern fusion; ,-. These arguments sliow that even if per to organize a Southern party at sent, it would be impossible to do so upon any bases,; of equality. The Southern Democrats hold all the offices, and are de termined to, maintain their position. They will go into no fusion, at least, as lohg as they hold the Federal and State Govern ments; when those pass out of their hands, elected censors be put. into harness while and realize what it means to mental engine under a perpetual press ( of intellectual ' steam, they would passibly change their views of the ease' with; which they would knock off i little article. 4 , j People who think that editing a paper is a pleasahter diversion than digging cel lars by moonlight, or lugging bricks up a four story building ini a hot July's sun, may profit by the following sensibl of the' British Legation there by the Nea politan Dolice.
