Sublimity

The Jeading article ot tne last Jackson ïazette, (Whig) displays a depth of hought and argument, an extent of reearch, an original ity of conception, and t sublimity of expression, far superior to tny thing that we have ever known to isue from the Whig press. We can apreciate force of argument and beauty of xpression even in a political opponent; nd we cannot refrain frum quoting the rticle entire. Our fuith in the probabilty of Mr. Clay's election has been somevhat faint; but who can longer entertain oubts when writers like this in the Gaette.bringinto the field their mighty reources? "That same oíd coon" has apeared; and all opposition will now be ushed. Abolition will die away. Dr. Vayland Say, and all other anti-tariif mters on Political Economy will please ide themselves till he disappears into his lole. We must premise, however, that he article is accompanied by the cut of a oon with a label reaching from the tip tf his tailtohead, which says, "you can't 'OOl dis coo.n;" and in the distance is een a Fox, looking forwards with coniderable apprehension. "THAT SAME OLD COON! Surely; the re is that same Oíd Coon!! he very embodirnent of fun and frolic; aughing over the result of the elections n Connecticut. Rhode Island, New York, 5ennsylvania and} Virginia. Has'nt he i comical twist of the finger, sarcasticaly attached to the nose, while, at the same ime, he is eyeing the fox of Linenwald, which is just turning an angle f the fence? He's the perfect quintes, -ence of philosophy - he knows his man?here is a great deal of fun in that broad eep grin of his. He's full of pluck, and ïotwithstanding that ticklish face, is as eady to figHt as laugh. Take him all in ill, we must pronounce him a most corneal genius, stil!, we would advise the riends of the little fox not to stir him up oo much, ina.smuch as they have forced iim for the second time, out of the woods. Pake care tliere, pull that Lindenwalder n the other side of the fence, for if that Dld Coon should get hold of him, he'd jring the bleed! In introducing thi$ illustrious individuü to the locos of this country, we hope hey will receive him in all kindness, (for ou know gentlemen locos that he's been ibsent since he used you up in '40,) and jëstow upon him such tokens of their disinguished consideration,' astheyshall find ïonvenient. He can and will "stand hard vnocks or g"entle caresses equally well. Ie's quite as re'ad}'', too, for one as the )ther; and weshould'nt beat all surprised, nasmuch as the locofocos cali him out )f the woods, if he should be more familar with them than will make them feel z?-together,agreeable. If he should hap?en to mount the Free Press and worry t right smartly - orjumpdown upon the A-bolition Cologne bottle at Ann Arbor - or grab the handle of the SlecJge-Hamner - or take a peculiar squint at certain ocofoco demagoues about town - or fon31e rather roughly Auditor Hammond's Preasury papplings, of which he is tenierly fond - or give a bear-squeeze to Grov. Barryhimself - why, they miist be ;ool about it for it's his season, and he'll 3o it whether they like itornot. They '11 joon find they 'can't fooi' that 'coon.' "ür3 I lie Uorrespondent ot the JLiberty 'Ohio) Herald, thus describes the appearance of things in Baltimore at the time of the Whig Convention: "The Convention was truly a great one, if the vastness of the multifude, the talent of the speakers, or the magnificence of the arrangements be taken into the account; but for me, when the wild revertes of the drunken on every hand salute the ear, when scènes revolting to everv lover of good order and cold water meet the eye, and when argument so destitute of fundamental principie for a basis, is spread before the mind, the spontaneous feeling of my breast is, that it is better far to stand alone than to run with the multitude to do evil. For drunkenness, last night's bacchanalian revel takes the lead entirely of any thing I ever witnessed. In the street - in the rooms of Hotels - at the supper table - in the lodging room - in short, wherever you might turn, the laughable, ridiculous, and mournful, we.re strangely and fearfully exhibited by scores of young men laboring under the maddening influence of the intoxicating bowl."Ö5 All the Whig papers are out in ridicule of Leavitt'sannunciation that Mr. Frelinghuysen is a slaveholder--or was one, as long as God permitted him to be. They do not deny the f act; but they ask if we would have Mr. F. tumble his poor slave into.the streets, or put her in the poor house? We answer, No: that were a most ungrateful return for many years of unreqüited labor. Bat could he not set her free, and yet provide as well for her as before? Another thing: this wornan has been a slave for yeürs to Mr. Frelinghuysen. Why has she not had her freedom? Is there any reason, except that ttMr. Frelinghuysen, through the agency of the law, has withheld it from her1? Q Is not this the principie of all slaveholding? Will the Whigs contend that kind treatment of slaves is a justificafion of Slavéry? O?3 Mr. Frelinghuysen is 'sound to the core' on abolition. In one of his speeches before the American Colonization Society, himself Vice President, he remarked, "We owe it to ourselves not to remain silent spectators while this wild fire is running its course. We owe it to those misguiled men (abolitionists) to interpose and save them and their country from theyèctal cffects of their mad speculations.-See Jay's Inquiry.ff? A writer in the New Orleans Tropic, April 22, says that the Annextion of Texas should be regarded as a Vhig measure, "because one of its fírst nd strongest advocates has ever been our reat leader,Henry Clay"_and "because lso the Whig party are and ever have" een opposed to the Abolitionisteandtheir rinciples; and because the annexation ivHl be carried by Whig votes in theSente." He argües that the Whigg 0Ught ot to let John Tyler run away wjth all ie credit of this measure. OS We cut the foïwinTagraph rom the Free Press. It seems that Mr Tyler is determined to have Texas at all vente, even if we be involved in immeiate war. "The President has informed the Sen te that he had ordered a military forc o repair to the frontier of Texas, to open communication with the President of hat Republic and act as circumstances might require; and had also ordered anaal forcé to Vera Cruz, toremain off that ort, and prevent any naval expedition f Mexico, if any such be attempted, from proceeding against Texas!" ft53 We cut the following from one of our exchanges, but we attach no credit o it. As we ExrECTED. The Corresponent of the Baltiraore True Sun says: "It has been pretty satisfactorily agcertained tbat the annexaiion letters of Clay and Van Buren were icritten by coneri the same programmeserving for each. t is singular that both these letters con' ain the three doors of i-etreat from their opposition to annexation, viz: consent of Mexico- actual foreign interference - nd popular feeling. No one man doubts he concert that existed, nor its motives, he chief of which was iealousy of Mr' Calhoun."
