them, they are wholly morbid upon the subject;
but, this morbidness ? rather their misfortune j
than their fault. They may be said to be Abolitionists,
by birth, education, and habit. Whilst
we deplore this condition of the public mind in c
the Free States, without censuring the masses ; (
we conceive that the politician ; and preachers (
of morals and religion of the Theodore Parker j
regime, who continue to fan the flame of fanati- ^
cism amidst an already deluded people, within ]
their own preciuts, and who, not being content- r
ed with the perpetual tumult which they have
excited at home, on the subject of slavery, have r
associated themselves under the banner of Je- ^
hovnh to exterminate the institution, and who, t
by the most diabolical and insidious means, are j j
endeavoring to sap the foundation of the insti- j j

tion of every Southern man. What Southern t

any sense of danger in his composition, and will j j
take the trouble To avail himself of the Eclectic 1 |

secutively to page 376, and note in his mind the j ]
rancorous Abolition doctrines therein contained, J j
his blood will curdle at tne legitimate consequen- \
cos which must necessarily flow from the use of j (
such an unhallowed publication in the South. :
He will find that the Abolitionists, Wayland, ;
Diamon and Barnes, are quoted with the warm-! |
est approbation. He will see it there affirmed, j
that "it is the tendency and design of the ,
Christian religion, when fairly applied, to abolish j
the system." He will see that the negro is stim- ,
ulated to resist his master, if in the judgment of '
the negro, the master directs him to do anything (
incomputable with his notions of propriety. In ,

Northern and Southern Whigs.?As an

and speaks of a sovereign State and its whole f
"representation as contemptuously as if it were a c
mere dependency?holding its existence even at ,
the will of the North : ]
"Where under heaven, except in the resources f
of a boundless impudence or a boundless folly, j
a chap from Florida can find strength to say to j
the people of the United States, who shall be (
President or who shall not be President, we are ?
at a loss to guess. Yet one Cabell, a rcprcsen- ]
tative, of that puissant State (it has one whole
representative, the State of New York has 31) t
has just issued an ukase to the effect that no ]
man shall be elected President this year who is ?
not violently in love with Fillmore's Compromise
measures, and facile at genuflexion before the <
almighty South. If the North had not just re- <
deemed t'.i; fdlow and his brethren from out of
the hands of the Seminoles, and fed him and his ?
whole State out of the army chest, and the Trea- |
sury stealings, this, this slaveholding behest, i
would be heard simply with a feeling of morri- <
raent. But it now inspires amazement. Its <
impudence is astonishing. Why, sir, you are ]
not master of vour own State even. A handful <
of Indians distresses you, and flings you upon
your knees about the War Department. Your
very alligators defy you, and moek at you with
their ivory?and you talk of what the Whigs of ;

say, that the party or the man who pays a
moment's attention to such absurd vaporing on (
the part of a Congressman, mast be weak indeed,"
Interview with Henry Clay.?A correspondent
of the New York Express, who visited
the room of Mr. Clay, and found him in company
with two friends froin New York, a few
days ago, thus describes his appearance:
" There is hardly strength enough in his hands
to .convey food to his mouth, and he is helped
to and from his bed like a feeble child. lie rises
very late, and as he told me, has not known
for a long time what it was to enjoy an hour of
6\\e<et, refreshing, natural sleep. But like an old
forest oak, beautiful even in its decay, the lustre
of his eyes is undimmed. Ho both sees and

as fervent, earnest, and kindly impressive as ever
it was. His vQiee continues to be ail sweetness
and melody, except when its tones are marred by
that bodily weakness which makes it painful for
him to speak?and it is always very painful for
him to 6peak long. But the greatest blessing
*hich God vouchsafes to a dying man is his.
"He baa that peace of mind which the world

iancy. Most of his thoughts arc devoted to
hat change of existence from which none of us
ire exempt, and that change may come in au
lour, or a day, or it may be postponed till the
pring or summer flowers fade and die. In the
nea-n time Mr. Clay is tranquilly prepared for

1 Stone of Stumbling?the Pope and
Jonathan.
The Pope lias now found out that his fatherly
are and infalliahle attributes are not npprcciaed
in Britain quite so highly as he had been led
o anticipate. Neither the Cardinal's scarlet
lose, nor his ship load of truinjterv relics, had
irtuc to shake, in the least degree, the pillars of
Protestantism; and giving this nation up to liardless
of heart, he lias withdrawn his affections
md reserved them for brother Jonathan. The
eligious position of the United States is somcrliat
different from that of this country. There
he tyranny and oppression of a papal hierarchy
save never been known nor felt as they were in
h'ituin, and, as a consequence, what was unknown
has not been dreaded. The Pope has
K-en allowed to send as many cardinals as he
leased, and to found as many nunneries as his
inissarics could find tenants to fill them; but
iitherto, at least, the priest has been made to
"onform to the laws, not the laws made to conbrm
to the will of the priest. Matters have
toodthus for a considerable time, but the period
las arrived for papacy to try to advance a step.
X has many ways of making advances, but all
jf them areof the sneaking and insinuating charK'tcr?and
hence we find that a block ofmarble
las been forwarded by his holiness to the United
states for the expressed purpose of making a
tatue of?St. Peter? No! but of General Washngton.
A block of marble sent by the Pope,
'or the purpose of making a statue to a heretic,
md the founder of a republic! Surely this must
5e a mistake. But we forget that the Popes is
nfallible, and that the ends of the church may
ic better served, in this instance, by a statue of
i heretic than by one of the virgin. When the
Pope cannot extirpate he may canonize, and if
lis ends be gained by the one when they cannot
>e by the other, the means is of no moment whatever.
It is not for nothing that Popes give preicnts,
and few will think it improbable that Pio
S'ono expects thai upon this stone he will build
lis church into more importance, if not into a
. olitical institution of that country. It would,
io doubt, be a glorious vision for the Man of
{oine to think that presid -ntial consecrations,
vitli their parade ofbi.-hops and cardinals, and
re iMtms, should take place at the American
dapitol, as well as at Notre Dame; and that the
vide territories of the western states should, like
ftaly and Spain, l?e brought tinder his cnlightming

Amusing Incident.?The senior editor of the
irecnville Patriot, in a letter to his paper from
dulumbia, mentions the following incident:
"A good joke was told mo this morning by
}ov. Richardson. Last night both parties had
i caucus. The secessionists had theirs at Hunt's
iIotel,and thoco-opcratiunistsat the State House.
Vn old member of the Convention, who had nev
>r before been to Columbia in :i representative
:apaeity, and why is a great secessionist, burning
villi separate State action, entered the room at
limits Hotel, in which all the wisdom, dignity,
md valor of th" secession party had assembled
n canons. The good old fire-eater was a straup!r
to his own friends, and lie saw a man in the
:hair that he took to be the senior editor of the
southern Patriot. He supposed, of course, that
ie had gone to the wrong caucus, and immcdiitcly
quit the room. Thence lie went to thcco
iperation caucus in the lions: of Representatives,
boldly pushed op. n the door, looked about, and
seeing nothing of Perry,' he took his seat. Col.
\ldrich came up to him and said,441 presume,
dr, you are mistaken ; this is the co-operation
aueus, and 1 know you to be a secessionist.
Vour caucus is held over at Hunt's Hotel,' 4 No,
sir,7 replied the old man most emphatically, 41
have just been there, and Perry was presiding,
:uid I see nothing of iiini here.' 4 Nevertheless,'
said the Colonel, 4 what I tell you is true.' Very
well,' remarked the old man,' I shall risk it any
liow, rather than go back to where Perrv is presiding."
Tiie Convention.?We publish to-day the
proceedings of this body, who adjourned sine dit
on Friday, after a harmonious session of five days.
It adopted, with great unanimity, the report ol
the Committee of Twenty-one, only nineteen out
of olio hundred and fifty-five members voting
against it.
The action of this hedy moots ruir approval.?
It could do no inoro than it has done, and we rejoiec
that it has done no less. Although it did
not pass an ordinance of secession, yet distinctly
affirmed the right of seperate seccession, for such
causes as South Carolina may, in her sovereign
will, deem sufficient to call forth its exercise.?
The resolution and ordinance which were passed,
assert principles upon which all true State Rights
men may stand. Let one and all, therefore,
* * ? ' - J 1 1
take their position upon them, joinea nana in
hand in an att itude of resistance to the encroachment]
upon the rights and institutions of the
South. Let peace and harmony once more reign

The editor of the Macon Telegraph gives the follow- J

I "Old Fogy:" "The term 'Old Fogies' is not applied 1
by us to those ' veterans who have grown grey in tbo V
service of the Democracy;1 but to thoso greedy pension- ^
i ere who suppose the party to bo solely intended for
serving them. Neither is is it applied exclusively to J
i men of a certain age. A very old Fogy, may somo- f
> times boa very young man. The term is applied indis- f
i criminately to those young men who have none of tlio t
' vigor of youth, and those old men who have nono of
tho wisdom of ago. Mr. Buchanan, for instance, tho' I
1 far advanced in years, is the" very opposito of an ' Old c
1 Fogy.' Timo always enfeebles the body, but some c
intellects never grow old. Such an intellect is Mr. t
Buchanan's. Ho is fully up with the age. Lives for t
tho present, and wastes none of his time in mumbling c

such matters.
14 The Constitution is thus becoming a dead

The Emigration from German/.?a bedim
letter of the I4th ultimo, sap: "At the last sitting
of the Central German Emigration Society,,

cause of this inereaseis to be sought in thesocial

the continual effort* of the emigration agent*,
who endeavor to procure as many passengers for*
the shippers as possible; and, to decide the peasI
autry who may be inclined to emigrate, but still
hesitate to take such a step, spread all kinds of'
reports among them ; the inexperience and ignorance
of the people of remote districts are so

How to Bear Pain. *
We know the case of a man, who lay groan1
ing with the toothache, all through one summer,.
! and declaring that he would not submit to have
; it extracted, yet who afterwards submitted to the
: amputation of a leg, and bore the operation so
j stoically that a lady, who sat in the next room,
; could not hear a murmur, though she heard disj
tinctly the ticking of the old fashioned clock that
j stood in the corner of his chamber.
I Nor is this a remarkable case by any means.
i We all endure pain a great deal better than we
| bear to contemplate it. In fact we conjure up
:il the imps that torture lis." The sharpest bodi1
ly agony which . cience can inflict, is nothing
' compared to the suffering that it steps in to re- q
j lievo; and yet many a person, rather thansubj
mit to the former, has groaned under the toothj
ache for weeks, or allowed a limb to gangrene.
! It is the imagination that docs all the mischief.
Children, who have no knowledge of what is to
come, shame manhood by quietly agreeing to
operations, whose mere name would terrify the
adult; and persons stupified by fever, or coina|
tose from severe wounds, allow themselves to be
1 ?.l 1-1--. 1 n
tortured wiiu ousters, or irepumieu, hjihuui m
iiiuniiur.
And .'is it is in reference to physical pain, so
also is it as regards mental suffering. Two-thirds
of the misery in tin's world springs from the fancy.
Thousands of men, who have become involved
in pecuniary difficulties, have endured
more agony of mind, in the contemplation of
being some day possibly forced to bocjtne insolvent,
than if they had stopped payment and
faced disgrace at once. Thousands more, in other
situations, lnuc suffered ten-fold as much from
suspense, as they could have endured from the
most cruel reality. We always imagine disaster
to be more terrible than she proves on acquaintance.
Nature, it would seem, has that kindly
affection for her children, that she comes to their
assistance in the very crisis where they expected
to he wholly abandoned. The dark clouds tint
appal us in the distance, fade into a twilight
mist as we approach them, and grow thinner and
thinner yet the further we penetrate within them.
Or, like seeing ghosts that freeze the traveller
I with horror, misfortunes, when we oosuiy marcii
I to meet them, turn out to be but creatures of
the brain. In a word, pain, whether bodily or
mental, flies as we approach it, in this respect
resembling an igni$ fatuus, that is but a delusion
after all.
Would you go through life happily ? Then
conquer pains by bravely meeting it. Physical f
pain, if you have a healthy organization, will
trouble you but little, and therefore advice on
' this point is scarcely worth treasuring up: but
mental suffering must bo your lot, more or less,
' no matter how wealthy you may be, or how numerous
the blessings surrounding you. No man
can escape the uncertainties, much less the sor- ?_
rows of life. It is a cup that all have to drink
of. and the longer it is delayed, the more bitter
| will it be when it is mixed for you at last. But ^
though we cannot teach you how to avoid mis- '
fortune, we can at least inform you how to en
dure it. Waste no idle tears over it while it is

for it will bo time enough to be cast down when
it knocks at your door, and forces an entrance.
It is no crime to be gay, even under impending
poverty: nor is it a sin to be cheerful, when
grief is nigh. The world has actual sorrows
enough, without our making them greater,
through the aid of the fanoy.
If this philosophy of bearing pain was better
understood, mankind would bo the happier-(>f
all nations, we Anglo-Saxons, perhaps have
less of this philosophy, and the Kreuch the most
