W t U::, ......'..-ier iro.n Texas to the United States, is said to have 1 been captuivJ by the Mexicans, in the schoon- > er Independence. A long-legged candidate tor sheriff or con- j stable in the West is said to stand a poor chance. Voters wont support a man they cant j out-run. We ask the attention of our Southern read I ere to the article which we take from mo Mercury in support uf the Southern Review, j We trust that so strong and just are appeal will j prove effectual. There is a subscription list at Cunningham's Bookstore, in this place. A list is published of m arly 250 mercantile ! houses that have lately failed in the city of | New York. ? There are about as many more, ! whose names are not' given ? small fry, not ! worth mentioning, who merely owe sums of I a hundred thousand dollars, and downwards. There is stiil o;ie Bank in the United States ; *" that valiantly and magnanimously continues j to pay specie. The Manual Labor Bank of Philadelphia gives notice that all their "bills i "under the denomination of ONE DOLLAR, are redeemed in SILVER ! when preson'ed j in sums not exceeding ONE DOLLAR ! ! !'' j It seems to be apprehended that the assem bling of Congress, in the impure atmosphere j of Washington, during the sickly month of September, will prove fatal to some of the ?nembejs. This, at first sigiit, appears pro "bable, but a little reflection satisfies us to the contrary. It is an admitted principle in Pnysio, tint nothing is so etfteaious in resisting con tagion, as that the mind should be engrossed by some strong Sentiment, some intense Em otion, some overpowering Thought, that forbids all others to approach it. This being the case* we do not see that anv bodv has anv thins1 to ? <? - 3 fear. The Whigs will be occupied in thinking of the distresses of the country, and the means of remedy. ? The Yankees will be busy in reflecting that they are reaping an additional harvest of eight dollars per day.

The foP owing is the answer of the Post- ; -master Genera!, to the communication of the Chairman of the Meeting of the citizens of Columbia, held on the 19th ult. Post Office Department, ) May 26th, 1837. ( Sia^Your letier of the 20th instant, enclosing resolutions adopted at a meeting of the citizens of ; Columbia, S. C relative to the requisition of specie for postages, is just at hand. Deploring die events which have drawn a line between specie and bank notes in the currency of : the country, and subjected your citizens to the in convenience of which they complain, 1 cannot per suade myself that I have legal authority to authorize or sane ion the receipt of the notes of Banks which have stopped payment, in discharge of debts due to the United States through the Post Office Depart ment. On the contrary, the laws prohibiting their use either in receipts or payments, appear to me io be clear and explicit. If Congress, when they assemble* shall deem it expedient to make irredeemable Bank notes and the change tickets used in the various cities, towns and - villages of the >everal states, a tender in payment of all debts due the United States or o;"postag s in par ticular, it will become my duty, as it is now, to ad- | minister the Department in obedience to the law of : the land. 1 beg you to assure your fellow citizens of my de- [ termination to omit no exert Ons which I may pro- ! periy make, to relieve them fiom the evils they are j now suffering, by means consistent with the consti- I tution and laws of the land, and the true interests of the people and their government I am, very respectfully. Your obedient serv't, AMOS KENDALL. J.J. Chappell, Esq.,Chr'n- &c Columbia, S.C. We believe that the whole history of the world can furnish no example of such a pre^ cipitate decay of institutions and manners, as the government at this Uuiofi and the morais of the majority of its citizens, now present. Corruption can scarcely be earned further, .in several centuries, than it has at been pushed in this country, within a few years. It has risen, indeed, to such a pitch as to form an ac tual portent, seeming to threaten nothing less than the utter dissolution of all those pri nci pl< s of simplicity, intelligence, public virture, and love of country, upon which alone a free com monwealth can be securely founded. Such a decay, it is true, has been sometimes seen, in ether countries^ to seize upon nations. Hut never, before, until a certain course of national glory had been run through. Final corruption, indeed, seems to be the penalty which nations pay for a too eminent success. The realm that has missed a long prosperity and renown, u sually escapes corruption tco. Not so in our precious Union, of which it is the received boast to have overleaped all those tardy steps bv which other governments toil up to the height of a noble polity, and to have reached the very topmost summit of greatness and < f secured liberty, at a single bound. This dream of most juvenile vanity threatens to be a sauy short lived one. We have reversed the cus tomary process of history. In the attempt to anticipate more than a nation ever can, we have missed better honor and liberty; and have fallen at once into the weakness and the cor ruption of exhausted old age, without having ever known the vigoi and the glory of uiair* hood.

She w;ii present a rallying point for the j hone-t and brave of the whole Union.? She will continue the battle for freedom and prin ciple, which she has so well begun?that im mortal Old Cause, which, when nobly persevered j in, is sure to prove invincible at last. In the following article, trum the Nationals Intelligencer, Old Virginia is hit o3 to the j very life -Every nation has been, in turn, the victim of some j particular imposition upon its confiduig rrcduhj ? The American Pkjhi-E are pretty well aware of the nature of the humbug by which t'<ey have b e cheated, and are now differing But the most curi ous gull trap of the age ,s that in which he l'e,p e of the ancient <ommonwea.th oi \ ikgima h^? 1 I themselves? which is. that they will permit a I resi_ , aenTof the United Suites to commit any degree of . mischief, amt indict on the country any practical j ?ils provided he will give his assent to a tew ab- , I s tract dogmas which the State holds to be the Alpha I and Omega of political w isUv.n. That is to say, it a Chief Magistrate wili (while he sanctions nppropria | t.otis lor Internal Improvements) admit theoretically that the Federal Government has net right to make a ruad in Virginia, . r to fos er domestic >?d,istry b> a protective tariff, or to create a .National Bank (how ever indispensable as a fiscal agent ot Government,) if he will, in mere words, deny to the Govern ment these three powers, he may destroy the cur rency, destroy commerce, depress the prices of all the products of the earth, prostrate industry, make the rich poor, and the poor beggars break all the ? banks, and bankrupt the merchants. In short, he j may assume any arbitrary powers, and inflict on the , country any sufferings whatever. His orthodoxy j : in theory shall redeem all his practical errors : and, j I though he be in deed and in tact 'to use the emphatic I language of the Richmond Enquirer, "a curse to the country " if his creed be sound he will be uphel ? a political saint. Such was the merit ot Gen. Jackson, and the foundation of his popularity, in the flight ; ened commonwealth of V irgmia j>uch and the same the Old Dominion continues, in the rear eveno ne j ! own offspring, as is shown by the genera results j ! her recent elections, which prove that political^ mi posture still holds its own within her limns. With the first pari of the following remarks, ! in the National Intelligencer, we perfectly agree. .As to the panagyric in the concluding i paragraph, the American People are carrying their" ?'respect for the laws" very tar indeed, since they even humbly obey that which is not law/ No people of Europe would do so much, except perhaps the frozen Russians of the broken spirited Italians. "There is no example, we dare to assert, in all the records of history, of a nation being subjected to so sudden, universal, and disastrous a reverse m its affairs, as has overtaken this unfortunate country within the last few mouths, by the ignorance, per versity, and mismanagement oi its own Govemmen | ?no: indeed ..fits Government in the true sense ot the term ? bnt of a single branch fit, having no le gal or constitutional right to act by itself, and acting not only not in concurrence with, but in lawless and reckless opposition to the will of the oth?-r and co ordinate branches. The mis ortunes ot the country have, in fact, been inflicted on it by the exercise ot a pure Despotism under the forms of a tree Govern ment. The st-rm, though long foreseen by carelul observers, has burst so suddeiily upon tho I eople, that thev stand amazed ai the Ruin, by which ihe> have been overwhelmed without the slightest warn ing ;rom those who have been its architects. The condition of the United States, up to the fatal period when Gen. Jackson commenced his series ot usurpations and follies called the Experiment, might be compared to that of a glorious ship, nchly freighted, under full cail, with bright skies . and ^ a favoring wind, careering over the waves to her des tined p^rt, her joyous crew radiant with hope and confidenc \ In a moment has tins gallant bark been struck down by an overwhelming storm, and belore a sail could be furled, thrown broadside on the rag ing main, her masts shiv ered into splinters, and her abounded crew clinging to the r.gging for hie- -Just so sudden and overwhelming is the craslnn^ and as tounding ruin brought on the country by the com mand ot our ship ot State having been trusted to in competent hands, governed by a stubborn and head ! strong will. , , . i Hut, if the suddenness of the calamity that has be fallen the country be astounding, the firmness and ! respect for the laws, and for public order, with I which the shock has been borne, -is the most gratily ! ing trait in the character ofthc American People that i has ever yet displayed itself. It will justly attract the | admiration and applause ot the civilized world, similar-result of maladministration ot the Govern ment in any country in Europe would have inevita bly brought on revolution and bloodshed. We have, in our exemption i'r jm violence and popular tumults under these circumstances, additional reason to be proud ol our Republic. [CO >I.>I ink; ATION'S. ] Ion ; A Tragedy in Fice Acts. By Thos. Noon Tal f turd. New York. This elegant and finished po?m has exci ted a most remarkable degree ol attention in th : read ng public of tins country, and Great Britain ? most remarkable, if we consider the ago, and the peculiar character of the work itself. Had we been told before its appear ance that a production embodying the very spirit of the antique, and formed on the sim ple p'an of t.We Grecian Tragedies ? whose merits should consist chiefly in the more deli cate beauties not to be fully appreciated by superficial observation ? should comm ind uni versal admiration and give universal delight i in tlie.se ant; poetical times ? we sliould li&ve ! had well ground. -d doubts in the truth of the prediction. But 4 Ion" has happily removed j our scepticism ; and we rejoice to find that amidst the abundance of feverish and trashy ! publications that literally inundate the press j in our day, the public taste will distinguish a ?' work ot sterling and surpassing merit. For | our pa-[, we experienced a rich and rare treat. : There is an elevated simplicity and majes j ty about the poem that is quite different from j the stiff pedantic imitations of antiquity which claim our attention in so many of the modern schools ? known bv "the Athenian garment they have on," but destitute of intrin sic dignity ur grandeur. The conception and j execution are eminently classical. Whether I in the fine develop nient of character, eleva^ ted to a lofty idee!, in harmony with the rep resentation of a remot e and shadowy age, ? or in language of such exqusite melody, that the , i he initiated reader may fancy himself actu i ally reading the verse of the ancient poets ? > while the imagination and the ear are alike j charmed by the musical flow of the diction I and the rich delicious imagery ? the work is marked by a classic sp rit. Mr. Talfburd himself states the leading idea of his hero's ! character to be the "Ion" of Euripedes ; but he has in no respect imitated the Greek play. His tragf dy, besides its more recondite excel leucie.'has a charm for all readers ? all at least who possess taste to appreciate the beauties of poetry. The clear and varied pictures it offers, iis polished and vivid vet by no means labored versifiation, its magnificence of bril liant and appropriale imagery, happily illus trating as weii as adorning the thought, ? i impress the reader with a senss of noble and exalttd beauty, which he would in vain seek | for in most. p.ctures ofkmodern tilings. It will (. ::sj y be perceived tht:t, noble and ! .-ubiime as this production certainly is, ^ would be absurd to compare a work ot sucn a stamp to the plays of Shakspeare. I be wide difference between the two school* placed such a comparison out of the question. We have no space tor an analysis ot the story or even for extracts to prove the justice ot our praise ; ? but we are tempted to add the fol lowing beautiful description of the hero. 41 ? . No emotions rude Have his clear spirit vanquished ; ? Love ? the germ Of his wild nature, hath spread graces forth, Expanding with its progress, as the store Ot rainbow color which the seed co*ceals Sheds out its tints from its dim treasury, To flush and circle in the flower. No tear Hath filled his eye, save that of thoughtful joy When in the evening stillness, levely things Pressed on his soul too busily ; his voice, If in the earnestness of childish sports, Raised to the tone of anger, checked its force, As if it feared to break its being's law, And faltered into music : wh n the forms Of guihy passion have been made to live In pictured speech, and others have waxed loud In righteous indignation, he* hath heard Witlrsceptic smile, or from some slender vein Of goodness, which surrounding gloom concealed, Struck sunlight o'er it. So his lift; hath flowed From its mysterious urn a sacred stream. In whose calm depth the beautiful and j ure Alone are mirrored ; ? which, though shapes of ill [ May hover round its surtace, glides in light, And takes no shadow from them."
