OUR CRITICS AGAIN. Si ljiih, ambitious, and narititc-mindcd things, how we pity your deplorable condition! Ah, deplorable did we kaj! Vcf, fate lias destined you to grovel through this world in search of fame, unnoticed, and uneulogised, unless it be for your unequalled presumption and insolence. You are like the gallinaceous tribe of Kirypt, fminating from the hot ovens "every instant feme of you are bursting your shells, and starting into life,'" r.s a Critic and detector of authorship. Even the autho.ship of our Editorial article.", are pointed out by their prui rating genius. The article headed "Critics," which appeared under our editorial head week before last, has been matched from us and placed to the credit of s o ne Collegiate Sophomore or Junior, as if nothing payable, or respectable, could possibly emulate from any other source. We do not wonder at these absurd notions entering puch contracted mind-, an I compressed brains as theirs. It no doubt appear very strange to thhi, that any person, unless trained day by day lor the space of mm long years, could possibly pen a respectable article. No it is imppossible in their opinion, lor they have w itnessed the steady trainings an 1 slow progress made by the Ox, Xulc, and other bea-Ms of burden, and judge all mankind by these animals and themselves. We dislike to trouble our mind with, and force our readers to peruse notices of th.-po pts:.! to society, but we drem it our duty to try to reform and bring them to a true sense of their standing as Critics and detectors of authorship, and we are determined to prick their ears from time to time with such cded tools, as we have in our possession until they reform and occupy that station which part ial nut ure has destine. 1 they should.

TEXAS. Our accounts from Texas are rather gloomy, but frequently when the horizon is obscured, the wind vuddenly changes and sweeps off the dismal draperies; so we hope it will be with that lino country. We have seen a letter from Dr. Levy, who has been taken pris- j oner, along with Col. Wharton, the envoy to the United States government, in which he states that they were very- badly treated by the populace; but he acknowledged the gentleman and soldier like generosity of the ollieers. Commodore Dallas has not released the Mexican vessel, which was carried to Pensacola, as had been reported by some of the papers; but if wc arc correctly in lornied, was about starting for Vera Cruz with his whole llect, consisting of several men of war, to demand the instant release of all American vessels, captured or detained. This is as it should be. The Julius Casar, lately taken, is an American schooner, and consequently the commodore will act promptily on the positive orders he has received, to protect all American ships, and their property, by all the means in his power.

By several arrivals from Texas at New Orleans, we learn that the Mexican licet abandoned the blockade in the beginning of this mouth and returned to Tampieo and Matamoras having first captured four or live merchant vessels, including the Champion and Julius, and also the Texiati schooner of-war Independence on

Ixjard of which was Col. W barton, late Minister to Washington, and whose safe arrival at Galveston has been erroneously reported, livery endeavor was making by the Tcxians to fit out properly their little licet for sea, which was ready to sail the 15th from Galveston. The schooner Flash was still on shore, and the Sam Houston had been hauled oil without injury. Most ofthc Mexican ollicers who wercdetained at Libcrtad, have been liberated by the generosity of President Houston. Congress met the loth inst. at the town of Houston. The Texian volunteers at La ISacca, or

rOLITlCS OF THE DAY. From the Boston Atlas, May 20. The country has been governed for the last eight years by Executive edicts; and Congress will he occupied for the next four years in restoring what President Jackson had destroyed. Congress has always been disposed to do right, whenever it was not thwarted by a domineering and usurping Executive. Congress passed Mr. Clay's Land Hill but the Executive destroyed it. Congress roehartcrcd the National Hank the Executive destroyed it. Congress said that the deposites were safe in the Hank of the United States the Executive removed them. Congress refused to issue a Specie Circular it was issued by the Executive. Congress rescinded the Specie Circular and the Executive defeated the recission. Now the doctrines we have always acted upon are expressed in the sentiment of Thomas Jefferson : The irif of the majority, honestly expressed, should give law. Wo assume that the best exponent of the Popular Will is the decision of the Representatives of the People; and we have always been desirous of carrying into effect their will thus expressed. This, says Mr. Jefferson, is the object of ihe Whigs. The Jaeksonians, on the contrary, have maintained, that the Executive and not Congress, spoke the x-oice of the Peojile, and have always been the advocates for measures that would strengthen the Eieculive. This, says Mr. Jefferson, is

the object of Ihe Tories. It is not a little singular that the same distinctions were drawn by Mr. Van Hurcn himself in a speech in the Senate of the United States. "The Tories of Engbiid.'said this gentleman, "strive by all the means within their reach to increase the

Theac!i:i was braught by Charles Jurvi-j, as salver, ii br!i:tfofa!l concerned, against . L. I'inckney and W. Iv. Knight, to recover tlie value of the portion of the cargo of the brig Amelia, saved from the wreck of that vessel, when st landed on Fully island in November, 1032, and set fire to and destroyed under the authority of the city council of Charleston, with a view to prevent the speaJ ofthu cholera, which was then raging among tl.l crew and passengers ofthc Amelia. Mr. I'inckney was intenuant of the city at the time, and gave the order for the destruction of the property, and Lieut. Knight was the officer of the city guard, who executed it. mid those gentlemen were nominally the defendants iu the case.

but the real defendant is the corporation of Charleston, which authorised the act, in order to preserve the city and state from the apprehended ravages of the modern plague. The jury returned a verdict of S'7 .003 in favor of the planti'.r. The ca-;e was argued by H. V. Hunt and 11. Veadou, Jr. Esq.1 for tho plant iff, and by George H. Eckhard, city attorney, and H. F.
