'But never again, In our after years, blr0a 1 Wev with a love an true, A?1 1igs wh hope, andi as f'ee from tears; "Ali the love that we earliest knew. N. k dave may gain more than an honei man for a day, but an honest inan will gai the most.irs a year.

A WORD TO THlE WISE Don't touch the lute wthen drums are re sounding. A wise man remains silent whilt fools are speaking. Sophistiy is like a window-curtain; i plbases as an orament, but its true use .to keep out the light. iEvery thing great is not always good, bu tall good things are great. Except good emal potatoes.

If abolition agents make their appear. ance in the South, with treasonable and incendiary objects, we have laws which will be strictly enforced against them, and there is no powor which can avert the consequences of guilt., Why shall we not deal out equal justide with incen diary publbations ? Why should mails be allowed to convey them to the South? Why should people living in the South and protected by Southern laws be per. mitted to receive and circulate such publications ? The National (?) Anti. r Slavery Standard attempts to force a e circulation of its filthy sheet -in every part of the South, and has insulted US and numerous other Carolinian journals by asking an exchange. Now this is not a question of 'free-soil or free terri tory in California: it is an incendiary sheet sent into the South, to urge and advocate immediate emancipation. D Pamphlets of a similar character, al. tho' striving to maintain a Southern authorship, sent by Northern abolition agents, in various guises, are flooding the South, and we contend that every southern Pos:,master would be justified in throwing them all out of the mails. No act of the United States Govern ment, which endangers the safety of a State, can be carried into effect in that State. Every citizen of a State, is, ex-ofcio, a magistrate, and bound to protect the safety of the State and peo pIe, whenever, or wherever, it may be threatened. The power given to the United States to control ai regulate Sthe mails, a mere convenient power for facility, safety and expedition, probably Irevenue, confers no right to transmit publications, which may endanger the safety of the State and probably, the whole Union. That one member of the Southern Press, who, would ex change with the Anti-Slavery Standard, gives that paper by so doing, a direct invitation to pursue and carry out its object, A difference of political opin t ions, should be always tolerated and I treated liberally; but here is an incen diary attempt which involves no politi cal questions, at all, and is intended as a blow against the South and southern institutions. If we permit it to fal upon us, without an uplifted arm to prevent it, the fault will be our own! The State at large now awaits the de liberations of the Committee of Safety, at present holding its Convention at Columbia. THEATRIcAL RIoTS.--An extensive crowd of rioters interrupted Mr. Mac ready's performance at the Opera House New York, and behaved so shamefully that the military on being called out, fired on them killing thirty and wounding over one hundred per sons The rioters are said to have been in the pay of Forrest, whose hostility to Mr. Macready is well known throughout the land.

The royalisti dedlare that they will be English in language, laws andreligion; that toleration is one thing, but- princi ple is another; that the moment Canada was conquered it became an English colony, but, to conciliate the Canadians it has been continued Freticli since 1765; .that laws are passed in. the French languages that the 'debgte in Parliament are in Frendhi-tbat J'udges and Ministers of the crowxi ate Ftench; that the Canadians can speak English, but will not, and their bishops, curates, monks and friars unito to. compel the English to maintain the French ascend ancy, and so, the war is one of Nation ality, one against the French and not the Government. As yet there has been no very serious fighting between the troops and the people nor is it likely that there will be any. If Lord Elgin be recalled, it may soothe the English party, and should a successor be ap pointed- he ought to be an enet getic, conservative man. Neither side express any desire for annexation, with our Federal government; the French have no wish for it, and the English no desire, but, if the British Government in this outbreak shall take sides with the French party, the English party will declare in favor of annexation and all upper Canada will join. No immedi. ate steps will be taken until hearing from the parent government, excepting personal, quarrels breaking windows; and breaking heads; but the seeds of disunion have been planted and we shall see how the tree will grow.

SPECTATOR. A WORDn TO PLANTERS.-AN intelli ent Planter (says the Columbus Demo. :rat,)desires us to call the attention oftheo armers of the country to the faict which e has discovered in relation to the present ondijtion of the growving corn. On exam. nation of the stalks which appear to hanvo efied the Iato severe frost and to be putt. ing forth bhlades, luxuriantly, he found a lack mould or rather blight in the centre nd running dowvn to the root. This ho uphposes to be the flower of the plant, or ructilying principle, from wvhich the isel of the corn shoots. The absence *f this, or its imperfect state, wvill not etard the growvth of the stalk, but will tTctually prevent thtesame bearing "corn ai the car." It will yield a fodder but cot a grain product ! It is well then for he plhmter to observe this result of the ate frost and provide against a failure of avest, by a general replanting of a corn rop.
