, . MR. RANSOM'S ADDRESS.
An esteemed young friend at Chapel Hill has
sent us a copy of tho Address delivered before
tbe Dialectic and Philanthropic Focieties of the
University of . North Carolina, June 4, 1850, by
Matt V. Ransom. Esq. Tbe ulyect of tbo Ora
tion is the '-American Un'on," the preservation
of which tho author very feelingly and patrioti
cally urges upon his countrymen. On pago 8, is
the following :
"I ih to see the American Union solidly en
trenched in the strong citadel of American Liter
ature its destiny iucorporaled with the death
less truths of Science its name and its bleasin.a
engraven upon the enduring marble of Art and
brightened and hallowed by the ever burning
light of El' quence; that this master work of the
world, thus resting upon the cloudless heights of
Reason and Justice, may become sacred in the
eyes of all men, and, like the Palladium of the
encii-nts, set in tbe clear skies of intelligence, for
ever stand in glory above the fortunes of party
and the storms of human passion. The Sun of
Liberty and the United Stars around it, will shine
upon our eyes ' with a steadier and purer Inster
when btheld in the serene vault of virtue and
wisdom. Tho Roman orator, gasing upon the
splendors of the City of the Casiars, exclaimed.
' that there was nothing in which human virtue
more nearly approached the dignity of tho Gods
than in buifiTTng States, or preserving them when
founded," and surely an American citizen as be
surveys the boundless prospect of his country's
grandeur may well add, that, to preserve thin
government is a divine duty, and the brightest
pago in the history of our scholars will be that
on which shall be inscribed their devotion, their
attachment and their services to the Union."
From tho 17th page we extract as follows:
"And shall Bunker Hill be divided from York
town, and Mecklenburg from Philadelphia?
Shall our sires of the Revolution have left the
bloody tracks of their naked feet on the snows
of Valley Forge in vaio 1 f-ball Wahington
have lived for nothing 1 Is American history,
like llercnlancum and Pompeii, to be buried in
ruins and only jdug from oblivion as a curious
wonder 1 Is this last experiment of self-government
to fail, aiid is 'man never to bo freel Are
we, in our day, to sec any Slate leave tbe Union
as "Aagar ui'h young Ishmael wandered from
the tents of Israel"' with hands raised against all
mi ii and the hands of all men against bet? Or
are wo to witness the sadder spectacle ofa sec
tion of the Confederacy following the hated ex
ample oftliu false Mother in King Solomon's
Court who det.ii cd tbe living child to be cut in
twain, that she might have one-half of the dead
corpse! Is the flag of the Republic to be torn
in two and divided, the stars pulled opart and
the stripes rent asunder, its bright folds stained
with brother's blood, and wet with patriot's
tearsl Shall the Constitution Itself perish as a
scroll, and its mangled scraps and shreds be
ldwn about by tho winds and trampled in tho
dust, the melancholy Insignia of the dismember
ed Republic! These would bo some of tho tro
phies of disunion.
"But it cannot be. Enlightened, . considerate,
patiiotic America, will not, cannot commit an
net of folly and madness, the greatest and the
darkest which human error ever conceived, or
liuraan depravity accomplished. See that beau
tiful ship in full sail upon the flowing ocean
how nobly sho moves along her trackless path
way. Her wings of canvass bang like sunlit
clouds about the steepled masts, and the wares
in glad barmony play around her ample sides as
the gallant prow steps from billow to the mnsic
of the tides. It is the flag ship of liberty she
carries the fortunes, not of Ccaiar, but of man
lier deck is the tribune of the people, and the
altsr of tho living God."
Tiieso extracts will give onr readers some idea
of the stjle and manner of this truly oratorial
and somewhat poetical effusion. Those who read
it will admit that the societies made a very judi
cious selection, by inviting Mr. Ransom to par
ticipate and aid in the "beautiful festival" of the
4lh of Juno last.
TIIE BOSTON TRIAL. '.
Our readers sro aware of the trial going on in
Boston, of a preacher called the Rev. Mr. Kal
locii, for crim. con. with another man's wife, him
self Icing a married man. The testimony before
the Court is exceedingly filthy, as we judge from
the reports of the newspapers, and about half a
column which we read.
This clergyman is a noted abolitionist, and
among those who are exceedingly grieved at tbe
immorality produced at the South by tbe institu
tion of slavery. In all our knowledge of south
ern lifo wc never knew any one so mean andbaso
its tliis fellow nor by any means, in a wido range
of population, one tithe of the gross immorality
nnd defiance of tho laws of God, than now abounds
in the New England States.
THE NORTH CAROLINA CHRISTIAN AD
VOCATE. Wc think the Editor of tbo above named paper
should have given credit to The Commercial, by
name, for tho editorial matter he copied from a
late number of this paper, and inserted in the
Advocate of the present week. The matter quo
ted embraces a subject of great social and politi
cal magnitude; and is one that will require all
the energy, talent and conservatism of the Presses
of the Union to discuss it In a proper manner.
We do not know that any other paper has taken
the constitutional ground that The Commercial
lias hi the matter refcrod to. There are other
reasons besides a simple act of justice, that might
be named In this connexion ; but we urge no oth
ers at this time, nor shall we at any time hereaf.

OUR BOOK TABLE.
" A Sew Method of Learning the Gender of
French Nouns. By L. E. -Jouanne, ISew Vorkt
Roe. Lockwood Son. 1867." Thi is a small
rolume, but an examination of its pages has con
vinced ns that it is really one of the most valua
ble contributions to our series of school books
which we bave seen lately. Its value to all l,or
sons who study French is very great. The main
difficulty in the acquisition of that language ia
in the proper management of tha French. "Cob
bett declares that the only really practical meth
od, is to copy from the French lexicon every noun
contained therein, together with the gender, and
commit them to memory." Bat .when it is remem
bered that there are 20,503 nouns in French, who
will undertake itl Prof. Jouanne, whom we bap-
pen to know to be a most estimable gentleman, a
man of genius and a proficient in tbe philosophy
of his mother tongue, has made a scientific anal
ysis of the language, aud demonstrates by his ro
suits that this affair of gender is not the unsys
tematic thing it has ordinarily been supposed.
He shows that in French, as in the ancient classi
cal langnngea, the gender may be determined by
termination, and in four mnemonic rhythmic ver
ses, easily committed to memory because the
verses compose fables, he gives tho whole sys
tem. We most heartily commend this hand-book
to our schools,' in the certain persuasion that its
use will greatly abndge the toil of teaching, and
the labor of learning. y
" Iarper's Story Boots " The April number is
very interesting. It Is called " Lapstone" and
ives such first rate sea stories and such quanti
ties of information about affairs on the water, that
all the boys cf Wilmington ought to bave it. It
costs a quarter, and is worth more than twenty
pounds of candy.
" The Pioneers of the West ; or Life in the
Woods. By W. P. Strickland, New York: Carl
ton 4 Porter, 185 ." Thero is no end to the ro
mantic incidents of early Western life. And so
rapidly have the appliances of civilization modi
fled our modes of living in the Eastern part of
this great country, that there are men 'still alive
who penetrated dense forests and settled their
young families far from the abodes of men, and
who have been overtaken by the swift and pow
erful tide, and now Sod the fpots they selected
surrounded by cities and united by rail roads and
telegraphs. To us and to our children, the story
of the caily adventurers must always be fraught
with exhihrating interest. Dr. Strickland's graph
ic pen invests these stirring themes with new life,
and it freshens one to read in one's parlor or qui
et chamber his life-liko pictures of the bold hero
ism that dared tbe great mystery of the unbro
ken woods and wild rivers of the wonderful west.
Indians and sotllers, hunters and preachers,
scbo'ohTiasleis and hermits, are presented in those
scenesj which pressed their manhood to the sur
face and made the actual lifo of the western men
strongly dramatic in its combinations. We like
this book. It is healthy and hearty.
The Home Jounal for May is received. Pub
lished by T. S. Arthcr, Philadelphia, No. 103
Walnut street, at $2 a year in advance ; four co
pies for $5. This work is steadily making its
way among the people, and is deservedly popular.

well be supposed, at the duep andabidiug Inter

spectators, but not so on tln occasion ; they were
all actors, impelled by a common interest, to ac

' New York, April 7, 1857.
The week opened with May weather, bnt on
Wednesday we had a blast of wind from tbe very
heart of the North Pole, which caused all living
and breathing things to shrink back into the ut
most depths of" their winter woolens. Tbe fash
ionables bave been qniet enough as there is noth

retailing tbe adventures of this merry conple,
embalmed in woful rhyme, and hilchcd" to the
K)pnIar airof "ViHikin's and his Dinah," for the
very moderate consideration of "only one cent."

"Especially It from Ireland, fas I tell yon they can,
"When they try, blarney over your and my alary Ann."

minaries of tbe stage ; Matilda Heron, prima don
na, Laura Kee.ie, lesser light, and Mrs. McMahon,
a tallow candlo which will not be hid undei a"

others failings through tbe medium of tho public
press, when they have no more important mat

who draws melody from the intestines of the

travagancies of the times, to say the least- Less
money paid for costly dresses and more for those
adornments of home which cultivate at once the
mind and heart would be an improvement in our
dome.-tic economy. Cotton goods of borne manu
facture bring pretty fair prices now, though al
our manufacturers both of cotton and woolen fab
tics sre losing money at the prices obtained in
this market. The importers are doing a losing
business, and some heavy failures may be looked
for, especially , in the silk trade, if the present
state of things continues long. Western debtors
are disposed to stay out west ; at least, very few
of them appear in this city either in person or by
proxies in the shape of bank notes.

Previous to the dissolution of Parliament, Lord'

government, however, would not be satisfied with
such a course. Naples was merely emptying her
prisons to fill them again.

Da. Svatsi.- Dear Sir: Believing it a duty I
owe to the public, and in justice to you. I have
thought pioper ta make known one ef the most
ez traordinary cures, In my own case, that ha ever
been truly recorded. In he month of October last
I -was- afflicted with , a severe gathering ia my
brenst, which formeo" a large abscess, and also
communicated to my Lungs and very much afflict
ed them, and disc&arged large quamiiies of corrup
tion, ex Itrnal and internal. My breath could also
pass through my Lungs and out through ihc cav
ity of my breast with apparent ease, attended with
a violent cough, day aad night, Jots of appetite,
and extreme debility, so that my physicians
thought my cae entirely hopeless and beyond tbe

condition" for a lone lime, until I was Wasted to a

me; but having read in the public papers of ihe
many wonderful cures performed by your COM
POUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY, I im
mediately, sent to Baltimore for five bottles and
commenced its use. and to my great satisfaction
and my anxious family, the abscess or opening in
my lungs ben tin to heal, and the cough subsided
and on using (en bottles I was restored to perfect
health. 1 believe, that to your valuable medicine,
under the blessings of Divine Providence, I am
indebted for this great change, and I am happy to
