pression that Presbvterianism originated with Calvin.

will deliver this evening at the Baptist Church a lecture on
Education. The public are respectfully invited to attend.
To Correspondents.—Several communica-
tions ofissues not immediately relating to us or
our interests, have been left out this week for the
want of room, and others laid aside for maturer
consideration.
CO" The Communication sent by H. L. Ber-
ry, Esq., is unavoidably crowded oat this week,
owing to a press of other matter.
00° We are under obligations to the -Hon.
Daniel Webster for many useful and valuable
documents.
CO" We call attention to the advertisement of
S. D. Wood. Those in want of groceries
should give him a call.
CO" We publish in another column a com-
munication over the signature of " Shelby," ad-
vocating the claims of M. T. Johnson for Gov-
ernor of the State. This article, coming from
an intimate friend and schoolmate, we are indu-
ced to publish, not, in doing so, that we intend
to advocate the claims of this gentleman. We
have not determined whom we shall support for
that high and responsible station. The gentle-
men are all, we imagine,' competent to fill the
Gubernatorial chair with honor; and, after form-
ing a more intimate acquaintance with the cau-
ditates, personally as well as politically, we
shall lend our support to ihat candidate who will
"do the greatest good to the greatest number."
Improvements.—We are agreeably surprised
to notice the many valuable improvements go-
ing on in'our town and country. Tesas is fast
settling up by energetic and industrious citizens.
Harrison County has had a very material in-
crease of emigrants during the last fall and win-
ter. Among the improvements going on i
Marshall, we see a commencement being made
to erect a Presbyterian Church a little north of
the Public Square. The College building is
getting under good head-way, under the control
of Judge Adkins, which we hope will not be de-
layed on account of the anticipated " honey-
moon." Messrs. Perry & Hynson are com-
pleting quite an addition to their Livery Stable,
which we think will make it one of the most ele-
ganJ. and compiodious stables in the State. We
must forbear extending our remarks. We only
say," success attend the enterprising.
00" We are sorry to read that CoL Vqlney
E. Howard and Gen. Hugh McLeod, (each a
id ¡date for C ongress in western Texas) are
|. so wordy a war of personal imputa-
Their speeches at San Antonio, as also
se at Austin under date of the 17th May, are
t moat vituperative character.
Tbc Temple of Honor.
We were pleased to see the numerous and
processional appearance of the members of this
order of Temperance, as they exhibited them-
selves on this day two weeks ago. We are
the advocates of any association that gives re
lief to the tough-task of getting along in this
everv-day world. Time will allow us the op-
portunity of making but a few remarks in favor
of this munificient charity, which has so often
raised its stalwart arm and reclaimed, in its man-
ly kindness, from the prostituted gulph of ruin
the parent, the child, the jurist and the ministers
of religion—saved them from the inevitable ten-
dency of what awaits the drunken and the sav-
age man, and caused ambition to seek an empire
of thought instead of the loetid rest of the abo-
minable gambling room—dissipated before their
eyes the dusk and shadows of the night of dis-
sipated life, and caused them to vanish before
the glory and gladness of the morning dawn ol
moral reliance and a fellowship that has en-
couraged to a better life those upon whose fates
the most unfortunate anc^abiding habits had fore-
told a temporal death and 4# eternal ruin. The
question is well proven, and its developments are
too numerous and mourniul, and its evidences
too tangible and touching, to have escaped any
perception.
Every feature of the Temperance relation
had its origin at home. Though the world en-
gaged in the work, its beginning was local,
compared with the extent of its ultimate opera-
tions. It professed neither conquest or conver-
sion. Reformation was its motto and abiding
terms, otherwise its sphere would not have com-
mensiirated its professions. It was at home—
in all homes—that the tree of evil, the moral
upas, worse than that fabled of Jara to the ani-
mal man, had taken root and was flourishing in
rank luxuriance; whilst its deadly influence,,
borne by every breath into every dwelling, was
doing hourly the work of death among its occu-
cupanfs, 'till in very despair of the power of
numbers, computation ceased to máke on esti-
mate. The fireside, the table, the chamber, the
hall and the altar, were alike profaned, and a
common shame overspread our common land.
Vice and reeling idiocy howled victoriously
through street and court and thoroughfare, pros-
trating public order. A common shame over-
spread our common latad. There was scarce a
circle in which the demon of Intemperance had
not made its sacrifice and caused wife and child
to/weep. Over,the slow torture of the husband
anid father, whéáé helplessness placed him in
the grave, no heárt felt, no eye wept, 'till an as-
sociation like the one.at the top of our column
arose. Who were its enemies ? They were
the bloated.eyed victims of the vilest degenera-
tion, culled from the pulpit, the bar, the trades,
and every connection with human intellect and
human industry. These were the victims of In-
temperance, and they were brought from high
places, where they Bad shone' as lights and pla-
nets. In the grasp , of an Intemperate power,
the oijjects of' slaughter were torn Irom the
seats of justice; they were t ;rn from the solemu
councils; they were torn from the very horns of
the altar, where they had been administering
before God. So generally prevalent and pow-
erful became this distempered agent of vice,
that not content with the ruin of his victims, he
made themloathesome in the sight of those who,
otherwise, through every trial of life would have
loved them, now was unable to stand by them,
as they hated the sight of so much degeneracy
and beastly cupidity. Intemperance liad made
them leprous to the touch, and covered them
with a shamelessness that had no shame, and
Was insensible to dishonor and disgrace.
Time, marked by physical decay and the cor-
rosion of an abused mind, threw these victims
into an unknown grave, unwept and unhonored,
only at the fireside of those whose nature ac-
knowledged allegiance. At this period up starts
the moral might of men to reclaim man. A-
mong the noblest effort is the one bofore us,
whose pledge has no limit, but wages an ever-
lasting war with the use of alcohol in any way
whatever.
00° We see vvfth pleasure that Mr. A Doug-
lass, the Owner of the Tyler Stables, has recent-
ly started a weekly coach to run between Tyler
and Marshall.
By this arrangement we have two good lines
connecting Shreveport, Marshall & Tyler, giv.
ing to those who visit the Supreme and Federal
Courts an opportunity of passing through some of
the finest portions of Eastern Texas.
The coach will leave this place for Tyler on
every Sunday morning.
The La Grange Monument is for requiring
our candidates for Congress to come out infavor
of abolishing the franking privilege—that stu¿
pendous Congressional nuisSance to the Postof-
fice Department, and fraud upon the country.—
We heartily concur in this suggestion.
The above is from the Texas State Gazette.
It causes to occur to. our miné, that so.far as the
press is concerned, we have never known to be
received so few public documents from our State
Senators and Representatives, as we have seen
acknowledged by the Texas press at large.—
While we see one old-State,document on finance,
weighing scales and shad.fisheries here at home>
we find basket-loads of their speeches and con-
tributions acknowledged northward. We could
tie-up in a child's apron all we have received
from our Senators and Representatives, and are
daily beginning to think that the franking privi-
lege is a "Congressional nuisance." We owe
many thanks to other Representatives, while we
owe but very little to our own.
CO" When we feel a strong desire to thrust
our advice upon others, it is usually because we
suspect their weakness ; but we should rather
suspect our o wn.
Is tbis Union worth Preserving 1
This is a question which every secession pa-
per, and every secession political leader of a vil-
lagfi crew, is now asking. The press and the
slump are their means; but we mistake not if the
people''shallot box will not chant a requiem to
their unjust pretensions. The question is too
lightly asked and too audaciously presented by
those who ask it, regardless of the ^>vc of coun-
try that exists among the masses. Our govern-
ment is one of popular will. It is a government
of common consent, and not one, the bonds and
bandages of which are to be unclenched by lo-
cal factions, led on by village aspirants and brief-
less lawyers. This Union, considered in every
phase, cither as regards its past influence, or its
prospective control over the moral, political an^
progressive condition of man, is to be too highly
valued to be so irrelevantly applied or irreve-
rantly considered. Its advantages to the culti-
vated world, in proving the capability of man
for self government; the vast check it has had
in causing the most arrogant governments of
Europe to legislate more > !ldly ; the influence
its intellectual and moral progression has had on
hufttan condition: the blood and treasure it cost
Our forefathers to form i , .Ve pearls of too dear
cost to be dissolved in a cup of vinegar for the
sake of a single draught. Our appetite nor our
wishes have ever reached so extravagant and
reckless a height. Hence, we would urge ev-
erv lover of his country to rally around the stan-
dard of the Union, and at the ballot box give a
death-blow to the bloated pretensions of ser.es-
sionism—a growth that bloomed here a year ago,
but owing to the peculiarity of our soil, will nev-
er, we think bloom again ; but be found hereaf-
ter (if at all,) liftiing its weak head amongst
weeds, like spontaneous tobacco and mullin
plants, which grow best in the most neglected
spots of an overwrought farm. Otherwise we
should be mad, reckless and treaonable. We
should be giving up everything for nothing. We
cannot close the above hastily written remarks
better than to close them by an extract from the
Hon, Edward Stanley's pamphlet on " Ad-
justmtefti Measures."
Certain "malcontents" are charging that the
Compromise bills of the last session are "bills
of surrender." Such &en tj>re neither true
Whigs not true DemocrafKr The leading men
ofthe Democratic party justly abhor these mal-
contents. The Whigs disown them. They are
enemies to their country, and in opposition to
both parties. It is the duty of every patriot to
oppose such men ; and it is tip> duty of every
good citizen to support the administration of
Presidnt Filllmore, now so furiously denounced
by the abolitionists tor his noble course, in rela-
tion to the Compromise acts of the last session.
In his message to Congress he said, in words that
ought to be printed in gold :
"The series of measures to which I have allu-
ded, are regarded by me as a settlement, in prin-
ciple and subs'ance—a final settlement—of the
dangerous and exciting subject which they em-
braced." ******
"By that adjustment we have been rescued
from the wide and boundle^^ftgilation that sur-
rounded us, and have a firrfl^PKnit, anc* legal
ground to rest upon. And the occasion, 1 trust,
will justify me in exhorting my countrymen to
rally upon and maintain that ground as the be$t,
if not the only means, of restoring peace and
quiet to the country, and maintaining 'inviolate
the integrity ofthe Union."
Let us look to our country first, and party af-
terwards. Let us give our grateful thanks to
Clay and Cass, Foote and Webster, and other
patriots of both parties, for their efforts to allay
agitation, and to restore harmony to the country;
while we brand with reprobation the malcon-
tent disunionists—-the Rhetts and Giddingses,
and the half-crazy satellites, playing the second
fiddle to them, whether in the North or South.
In the language of Webster's noble letter to the
Union meeting at Westchester, "The peace of
the country requires this ; the security of the
Constitution requires this; and every consider-
ation of public good demands this."
Judge Evans not a Secessionist.
Our readers will recollect that we long since
avowed our determination to give our support to
uo man who was featured with secessionism.
We have written severa! articles commending
Judge Evans as a Union man ; but have heard
rehearséd in our daily hearing that he was not
of our " kith and kin." We thought it then
commendable in us to use n o false advocacy;
hence we ceased to speak. But assured as we
now are of his being a Union man, predicating
his political opinions' upon the most indisputable
grounds, we now give preference to his claims.
We do this the more cheerfully, as we have
lately read in the Northern Standard an analyt-
ic article of signal ability, the purport of which
is to charge upon Judge Evans the charge of
secessionism. We know enough of the Editor
of that paper to know that he will "stand cor-
rected," when \Ve give him the publicly ex-
pressed- assurance that the Hon. Lemuel D.
Evans is not a secessionist. Such was rumor,
and such were our apprehensions" at one time ;
but Mr. DjíMorse will accredit the authority of
the many friend/ of Judge Evans upon whose
assurance we most éniphatically now announce
him to be a lull Union man—one dyed in the
wool—and willing to abide the question.
It is an act of justice on the part oFthe press
to give iifair representation of the avowed po-
litical principles of any one, w ho stands before
community, (as does Judge Evans, and as do
others,) candidates for popular favor. Our as-
surances are well grounded, and we hope our
pen wrll fait an unnibbed quill, our tongue cease
to speak, and the silence of death quiet every
impulse of our heart when we shall fail to make
the press theeeho of public opinion.
As our colamns are about being- filled up, we
feel authorised to pledge Judge Evans as a sup.
porter of the Union on Edward Livingston's
views, (a household name in the South ;}on the
views of Jackson's Proclamation, and the doc-
trines as laid down in the Virginia and Ken-
tucky Resolutions. .
CO" The first term of the Supreme Court at
Tyler adjourned on the 30th ult¿
The Moral Power of the Press.
We know it is frequently 3aid of the press,
that it is too utilitarian. We recognise its agen-
cy as far out-breathing and over-reaching any
such narrow purposes. If such were its distinc-
tive sphere, it would present an anomaly to
which no known period of time could produce a
parallel. A man looks but little beyond a most
superficial and unprofitable appearnce of extern-
als who judges the press, which is the reflection
of community, to be solicitous of those achieve-
ments only which belong to the animal neces-
sities of life. The Press would thus stand oppo-
sed to the experience of mankind ; the philoso-
ophies of every age and nation; the precepts and
promises of religion ; the dictates of wisdom and
the wise ; and the leading object of human life,
and what ought to be the leading object also of
every human endeavor. We look upon the
commonwealth to be the common felicity. Unless
the world and its great lever-agent, the press, en-
tertain these views, society ceases to exist and
man declines in caste, might, ami every instance
and appropriate purpose of moral, political and
religious association. In view of the above, we
will admit that our age is somewhat too fond of
pecuniary result; too fond of shewing its capac
ity to diminish the labour, risk and expense of
I rave/, and to reduce the necessity of manual la-
bour to the purposes of mechanical«appliances.
But have other triumphs for exhibition,
which are not found only in the exercise of a pow
er by whfeft Cottoh is to be carried to riutrket,
grain ground, plank roads made on paper, and the
Sabine lined with villages by advertisements.
Our trophies are of a much greater result and of
a much higher purpose. We have other boasts,
and fortunately for our fame and our prosperity,
the press has held up to the view of its readers
that science can take no" step, whatever it may
apply itself to, unaccompanied by a moral agen-
cy far more powerful and imposing than the in-
genuity of machinery. From her moral pro-
gression, society must draw her existence, and
gather her activity and exercise. From this
moral agency, society gathers not only her ac-
tivity and exercise, but is caused to cultivate that
high ahd sleepless sentiment of life so charac-
teristic of our age and our day: a denial of
any achievement to mail's ambition—success to
his enterprises—triumph to his every effort, un-
less accompanied with moral benefit.
This is the proper and moral sphere of tlie
press. Thus guided, she has always stood fore-
most in the fore ground of liberty and morals,
sustaining the helpless, restraining the arm of
power, and lending her aid in favour of human
liberty.
California's Devotion to the Union.—
Gov. Barnet, of California, in his late annua!
message to the legislature of that State uses the
following sentiments ofthe attachment of Cali-
fornia to the Union :
"They will know no North, no So'itb, no Wes ,
but only their whole Country, and if they have
been the innocent, but unfortunate cause of ex-
citement deeply to be deplored, they will hence-
forth make amends to the Union by their devo-
tion to it, and by the spirit of conciliation and
kindness they will ever exhibit towards the rest
ofthe Stales.-"
Gov. Means, of South Carolina, is on a mili-
tary inspection through the State, review ingthe
volunteer companies, batalions, and réginriénts.
enrolled for the defence of the flag of the "Pal-
metto" against the "Star Spangled Banner" of
the Union, should secession be thought actually
necessary.
Parson Brownlow of Knoxville.
We are more than glad to see that this clerical
member of the press at Knoxville, receives so
courteous treatment wherever he goes. His ef-
forts in favor of liberty of opinion, and his antag-
onism to foul play from either side, commend
him to editorial courtesy, as they long since
have done to popular favor.
We like him because he is á great Union man
—one ofthe first water—who, unlike many we
know, is not afraid because he hears whirling
around him a village vortex of undressed tavern
loafers, and penniless pettifoggers, dressed in fa-
ded black, without a law-book, without legal at-
tainments, or a halfpenny in their pockets, talk
of the worthlessness of this Union. In the crisis
he has done well towards making such beggardly
fellows seek their den, and instead of authori-
sing their censure, as given in hidden chimney
corners, he has come out and exposed their
eland/ stine overtures. We like the way Brown
low probates his accounts.
Since writing the above we find" the following
in tbe Memphis Express of the 20th May
It was reported, at Holly Springs that RevrA
G. Brownlow was CortihrgpiSwh In the stage on
."Saturday last. It created quite a sensation—a
great desire v/as manifested to see this remark-
able man. A telegraphic Dispatch was-sent to
Tuscumbra to ascertain if he 4iad passed down
in the stage—the answer gave intelligence that
he passed Thursday last on a steamer down the
Tennessee River to this City. We shall with
thousands of others be delighted to see him
here / We are now in hourly expectations of
his arrival. The Sjns ot Temperance will
doubtless induce him to give them an address on
this subject. He is to Tennessee in tnis great
cause, what Father Matthew is to the world.—•
Dr. Brownlow rs a great and remarkable man.
Dr. Brownlow arrived here this morning.—
He is at the Commercial Hotel.
CO" Judge Bctler^ one of South Carolina's
IT. S. Senators, said in the' Convention, held at
Charleston, that it South Carolina should secede
alone her flag might be insulted with impunity
by Roberts, the President of the Republic of
Liberia in Africa ! This assertion has more
truth in it than poetry.

Poor Woman, she's sot no Husband.
There once lived an old gentleman near the
town of C , whose good htimor, dry jokes,
and rustic wit, secured to him the familiar title
of " Old Uncle • S ." He was not without
his influence; and candidates felt happy to have
his good opinion. Sometimes they would run
a heavy joke on the old man ; at times to his
great annoyance. One we will mention.
A Mr. H was canvassing the county for
some office, and it soon appeared that he was a
great favorite of our old hero. The rumor got
out that Mr. II had given him a mule to vote
for him. This annoyed the old man exceeding-
ly. The mere mention of "mule" would make
him fight quick, At times the old man would
be in town, a little boozy, and some one from a
distance would cry out, "Hurrah for H's mule."
This would be echoed and re-echoed through the
town, and then outbursts of indignation would
follow.
Though bald-headed, he repudiated hats; and
that bald head defied the power of the hottest
sun. His wiity sarcasm was let loose on all
who should chance to come in his way or inter-
rupt him; and indeed, the silent " looker on in
Venice" frequently became the object of loud
laughter, and especially if he should meét a
shabby looking fellow whose numerous wife and
child might possibly be neglected. To such a
customer old uncle S , drawing near, and
looking him humorously and meaningly in the
face, would in a very emphatic manner put some
such interrogatory as the following : Sir, have
you got a wife?" "Yes, Sir." "Poor, poor
woman, she's got no husband."
CO" "In woman, we love that which is natu-
ral, we admire that which is acquired, and shun
that which is artificial. But a system of educa-
tion that combines the evil of all, and gives us
the good of neither; that presents us with the
ignorance of that which is natural, Without its
artlessness; and the cunning of that which is ar-
tificial, without its acquirements^ that gives us
little to admire, less to love, and much to despise,
is more calculated to procure the female a part-
ner for the minuet than for the marriage, and
for the Ball than for the family circle."
03"" " Truth can hardly be expected to adopt
herself to the crooked policy and wily sinuosi-
ties of worldly affairs; for truth, like light, trav-
els only in a straight line."
CO" " Emulation looks out for merits, that
she may exalt herself by a victory; Envy spies
out blemishes, that she may lower another by a
defeat."
The Crops in Georgia.—From the Enqui-
rer, we Clip the following rather gloomy account
ofthe cotton and corn crops ofthrt state:
The late tremendous rains, and the week or
two of cold, dry, windy weather that succeeded
have done immense injury to thejrixBviug crops.
Corn and cotton have not been more backward
or more unpromising for many years. The tor-
íents of rain beat what ^portionof the soil that
was left almost as hard as a brickbat. The con
sequence is, that species of tender vegetafion is
droping and dying, and unless we have rain very
soon, with warm growing weather^ there is no
telling what is'tlw fcánsequenthí! injury. Corn is
about two inches "high on ahaverage and yellow
at that, the cotton nowhere that can well be
seen with the naked eye, the fields baked to a
crust, and the weathsr cold, windy and dry. If
the prospect is not somewhat gloomy, we should
like for some one* to point out the bright "side of
it.
A magnificent cave has been discovered on
the southern extremity of tbe Equinox mountain
in Manchester, Vt. It has nine apartments, and
terminates in an abyss, at the bottom of which
there appears to be a pond.
According to some commentators, Adam and
Eve remained only seven hours in Paradise,

M. STEIN EIN,
at his new BHtCK store,
[Owe door below his old. Stand ]
HAS just received a complete stock, well selected
in the eastern cities, by M r. L. Steinlein who
resides in the city of ew York, and who is ever on
the watch to purchase cheap go< ds.
As cash is now the order of the dav, he will say
that he will sell goods cheaper than lie has ever sold
before; and for cash, he will sell "25 per cent lower
than any cash house in this country. 1 do not ask the
jiublic to take my word for this; but I d<> ask ihenri to
call and see'for themselves, and if they are 1101 con-
vinced purchase elsewhere.
His stock consists of
Dry 4'!otlii g;
Ilots, and Óups ; Roots and Sit ies;
Harilw re and qu.' rnsirare ; Won hrnre.
and everything- usually kept by dealers in his line,
too te i"us to mention.
He will continue to receive regularly hv different
arrivals during the year, everything required in his
line. May2 Vh I85l^i6rv
