How peremptory and comprehensive; how concise and easily understood, is this injunction of the blessed Redeemer. Sophystry is unable to pervert its meaning?it has but one, and that, so apparent no one ^ can be deceived : neither the wise nor the f rich, can hope to escape the penalty ; it ap) plies to the whole human race, yea every one: and considering the sanctity of the source from which it emanated, coming from the very lips of our Holy Saviour in. his sermon on the Mount, the absence of all excuse as to its signification, and the severity of the punishment attached, we should think Pagans alone, would be guilty of disobedience. Is such the fact ? Are there not even in communities that seem to be governed by the principles of Religion, \vho hold the bible in apparent reverence, treat its ministers tvilli rnisrinpt. miH nrofpnH tn believe their holy teachings, many who think it no sin to condemn their neighbor, uncharged, unheard, untried; upon the strength and evidence of some vague rumor, of crimes, grave, dark, heinous ! Is there nol amongst all men, christians, as well as worldlings, an unbecoming proncncss to seek after the faults, the follies, and the foibles of their ieiiows : and whilst bringing out their sins in bold relief and jrivinf? them, too nroat a o.rr.dit: to rlonv p.vf?n O 0 , o ? J ~ " scanty justice, to those virtues which are possessed! Is not this, " plucking at the mote in thy brothers eye whilst tho beam is still in thy own? Would it not be more christian, more manly, and more seemly, to give credit to our brethren, at least, for all the virtues, they possess; and to condemn only, on the best and most satisfactory evidence ! Such is the weakness of poor human nature, and the proneness of the heart to evil> that even then, tried bv tho mildest tribunal, and with ample justice allowed,?their good qualities would be all too few. Many,are the int ocent victims, thus made to suffer: many the virtuous men, changed into reckless crimi. nals, by the cold words, the suspicious glances, the scornful lips, of those who ought to be their friends, but who had prejudged, and passed sentenced without justice, charity, or mercy. But the punishment of such if not now, is certain! for in the next verse Christ says, " For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." From Ike Southern Journal. Mr. Ritchie assails Mr. Calhoun for not, as he asserts, aiding the administration in the measures necessary for the prosecution of the war. He pays, however, very little regard for truth, when he charges that if ^v, Mr. Polk's requisition for troops had been responded to at the early part of the session, the war would have been closed, and peace secured. Now the records of Congress show that the President did not ask for the eleven new regiments before the 15th of January, and then attached to the bill for the appointment of a Lieutenant Genera!, to supercede the gallant Generals who had so long and under such trials, maintained the honor of the American arms. The heroes of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, and Monterey were all to be laid aside to gratify the vanity of a bag of wind ; and it requires no prophesy to say, that had that bill passed, it would have brought odium on the administration. Mr. Calhoun proved himself the best friend of Mr, Polk in saving him from the odium of such a measure?for no man, no President, not even Jackson hind self, couldsully the fair/ame of Rough and Ready with impunhy. Mr. Calhoan stripped the hill (and for which Mr. Polk should feel, grateful) of its incumberance, and refusing to supercede General Taylor he cheerfully granted the regiments of men - ..

Mr. Calhoun has never withheld his assent to any act and means for the vigorous prosecution of the war; he was more thnn ne nro A -T- r? I , ?u ihu muciiuuii rcupte, with Rough and Ready, who having commenced the war in a blaze of triumphs, he was sure he could and would close it in a hallo of glory. The next is tho Three Million Bill to enable Mr. Polk to purchase peace.? Mr. Calhoun would have voted (as he did) for it without debate?but Mr. Wilmot, one of Ritchie's par nobile democrats, thought proper to put on it a rider reproving slavery and denying to the Slave States a fair par- i ticipation in the victories even. Who ! marred Mr Polk's bill?Mr. Wilmot.; Why was he not reproved for casting a ! fire brand in the democratic ranks? The j question is easily answered, Mr. Ritchie's j malignant hostility towards Mr. Calhoun j preferred the assault on the latter. Mr. j Calhoun stripped the bill of the infamous Proviso, and returned it, as presented to Mr. Polk, for his signature. Was he right? j ?in reproving Mr Wilmot for Ins hostility i to a measure, which he knew his Proviso would defeat, did not Mr. Calhoun show himself the sincere and true friend of Mr. i Polk in granting him all that he asked, ! and rescuing Mr. Polk from the responsibil- 1 ity of the veto, which Mr. Ritchie asserts Polk would have exercised.
