L. tIE IMMORTALITY OF TIE SOUL. Ifyou nselithat tuiah Is tberely corporeal;, you say that ho is merely sensual. Fiom this idea it follows, that the brute possesses intelligence superior to ours; for the sebses of many animals are more perfect than those of man. This sitble objeetlot overt hrows the system of the materialists. Every thing does not de pend upon the senses, because those of animals do not Place the!ahove us; and i-every thing does not depend up on the senses, there is then, something in man, which belongs neither td sonse, nor to matter. How sublime is that be ing who in the midst of causes of de struction, without power to arrest the effects by it produced-himself an in strument of destruction, anticipates eter nity1 and raisee to heaven, that thought which can never die! How deeply, is thought impressed on the brow of mian ! HiSfslsect has some ething imposing, atn& sublime, which speaks of his futurity. lie is not a ma chine framed merely for death, which can love with sttch a deptht of passion, create with stath a strength of intellect, atnd command with such a degree of power! His old age even announces that heaven awalts him; on the borders of the tommb, glittpses of his gruntdeurare revealed, antd It is thtere, that all htis vir tues are displayed. It seenms that the presence of atn aged man, does not affect us so mnuch withm a profotiat etnotion or sadness, as with a holy re%'erence; be cause some thitg within uts, teaches us. that the farthmer he is renioved flr Uis, the more nearly lhe approaches immior tality. THOUYGHTS FROM CICERO. Friendship to be durable, prestupposes that one should have triumphed over the passions that tule the rest of mankind; that one should love right and justice; and that each friend should be resady to undertake every thing for the other. At thte hour of death, the remembrance of a well spent lire is a consoling thought. Ac whatever period, the man who has done all ihe good in his power, may die, he has nothing of which to complain,but of the shortness of his existenen. From the Charleston Mturcury, June 12. The systematic attacks of 'the .writers in the Courier's columns upon the Demo cratic State Rights party, have latterly presented a new feature, to wit, a war upon their candidate fur Governor, the Hon. J. P. Richardson. "Up Country," in Monday's Courier. and "A Sub-Treas ury Nullifier" in Wednesda's, have espe cially beset themselves to write him down. Why? They are both opposed to the ad 'tiinisiratldn-both -to ihe State Rights Democratic Party, and they thereibresirilie at him whom they know to be sound to the core, and the man of all others whose election will give in this state triumph and power to the principles on which the South now rests, in the hardest and most hazard bus battle she has ever had to fight for her property, life and liberty. "Up-Country," who can hardly bc'other than a Union man, insinuates evasively (by'ihe "he is said") an exceedingly offensive charge, that "he raised a Company to sustain the Procla mation against South Carolina." It is sultieient to say tosuch a charge, that oce iote -unfounded could not well have been 'devised. WITite CoL..Richardson main tained his opinidons with 'Iminly 'irmness, it is notorious that he was ever found on the side of conciliation. His counsels and in fluence contributed as much as those of any other member of his party in soothing ingr feelihgs and allaying excitements. "A Sub.Treasury Nullifier" comes to the aid of his ally, and makes his nnslaught upon the Camden proceedings and Col. Richardson. upon another ground entirely. W hile he gives color to the charge of "Up-. Country." noticed allove, by pifi ou 'Co. Richardson as trie perv6na'i friend of det.-yacksdn, 'ifot lie tinil bever sen in 1834, and of Mr. Van Buren who was e qually a stranger until two years after wards, he cavils at the Camden Address because as he admitf, although it states what is true, that since the feconciliation oft he Nullifiers and Unioo Party in 1834, to ihe present day, "n M %I'hice of enrol ument or honor has been 6onferred b.y the Legislature on any member of the for'uaier Union Party," yet it is eqnally true that the General Government, of which the U nion Party was the supporter,, appointed no Nullifiers to office, but gave all to its own friends. There is either great forget fulness or want of candor in this, for while it is true. it is not all the truth. What Ntil-. lifier has forgotten the high g'16bnd take'n by hi's party when Gen. Jackson was elected, and adhered to & acted from that day-to this -neither to solicit nor accept office while the Tariff was unadjusted. Who has for gotten that H amilton might have been Sec retary of War-or Hayne Secretary of the Navy ? Who is there that wO not re member how we honored and applauded if gi-nerous pat riotitm of these great men ' b., disdaining 'd6thinti'bs Yvali'ch W%-nbid Ii'Ve drawn them frnin he service of the State, devoted themselves to her almost hopeless cause? Had atly Secretaryship in the Cabinet been op',i; had the whole Suprene bebrh been.vacuat, with District Judge aud District Attorney i6 bwd there would not haie been found in the State Rights ranks one to ask for or take one of these appointments. Was not one of them at least resigned by a Nullifier? las sthe niemorable exampl of Mr. Frost been for gotten? The State Rights party onta rily excluded themselves from the lfederal offices. Bb't suppose they hail not excluded thernselves, and while in opposition to the Government had solicited office, when has it been the practice of any Administ ration to appoint its enemies to oflice? From Gen. Wshingtod tu the presebt day, has not every Administration done d6 the State Rights Party did, select its own friends 1. "A Sub-Treasury Nullifier" ad mits we did thats-nay we did more, we made all of the opposite side who got into office swear to hold true to the State while we g'verned. But a newv order of things has grown up-old dillferehes, by the blessina of Providence, have been healed, and instead of cutting each other's throats, wye are now united, Union men and Nulli fiers, in a high and holy contest for the rights and safety of our common country -Democrats and State Rights men ar~e synonitmods terms, and we hai' within the am?.le folds of this new and great party flag, rallied most ofall of both the two late parties, who still prefer principles to men, end who have notbeen led estray or se duceed. "A Sub-Treasury Nullifier" disclaims being one of us-he protests in his own language, against "smuggling the State Rights Party intto the great rabble of Detnocracy." What does he mean by "the great rabble of Democracy?" The Administration Party of course. He is against us, yet wvrites to persuade us to take Judge Johnson instead of Col. Rich ai'dsttmmire prefer to take advice from our friends-it is easy to see ihat bo 'friend counsels so grenmt an error-he is an enemy, who knows be and his friends will profit by it. No gentleman is more esteemed, honored, nay loved by many of tas than Judge Johnson, but Col. Richardson suits the State Righta Detmocratic Party, the cause he is with thema heartily antl entirely on all the points of our faith, and so known to be both at home and through the union, But after all what is "A Sub-Treasury Nullifier" at, when after writing for Judge Johnson, the balance of his piece is an ar gument against giving power to any union| man while the Taritl'is under discussion ?I is he fighting for a third candidate? It is clear lie is. 4t is clear that be is only car-t rying out the policy relied on to dlefeat our party, by dividing us and letting in his own man. Is it not clear? Look whero you will and see if you can find one man who opposes the Administration and its isifrs,'who is for W, H. Harrison, or Preston,.who is not against Coloqel J. P. Richardson ? Some times od'f'e4h will be found urging Judge Jo1Ifinin, then ango er will ,e idutid fortdl. Hammond, adil en a6ther il be 'found who like "A Sub-Treasury Nullifier" is for both or either. Their game is to distract us-to divide us-to use the name of one where it can be used to most advantage, and of the other where it will be most eFective; and when the election comes on, they hope by these tacics to have ekcited the friends of these gdhelimin'bi mnich 'iTht'thfitInay be united against the State Righs Demo cratic party, ot as "A Sub-Treasury Nul lifier" elegantly terms it "the great rabble of Democracy." We would say a word more as to the great reconcilition of 1834. Every man who lived then and took his part in public affairs knows that it was a most perilous time-nor will he easily forget tlb jbydjts feelings with which the restoration of con cord was hailed by every friend of the country. As a member of his party Col. Richardson exerted his almost boundless inflauence on them out of doors, and in the Senate he rose and ably and eloquepiy advocated the measure'of djusime'nt The sincerity of himself and party was proved in the unanimous vote which thef mime Lliately united in giving to ir. McDuffie as Governor, and Mr. Calhoun as Senator to Congress. Are we less capable of mag nanimity? Are we to wage interminable war on tft "6'fce -ditred-, althlp' we. no*R a's&..

In the proceedings of the Old School Assembly not the slightest allusion is made to the subtject of slavery -in those of the New, resolutions tmemno rials and petitions on that subject, from a dozen of their Presbyteries, gave rise to exciting and prorracted discussions, in the rejsrr of which Mr. Leach from Virginia is said to have assured the Adsembly, that "if they continued to agitate the subject here, Mason and Dixon's line must divide the Church,"-to wvhich Mr. Wells from one of tpe eyeluded Synods is said to have Eapondet (HAt "Ih i :1 B tisti to maftg any threats; bhtt he knew the North and West, and if this Assembly did not take ground on this subject, and speak out against the sin of slaveholding, he knew Presbyteries that would not be represented here again."
