It appears that a conversation arose relativ to the boundary line and the admission of Michigan into the Union. Offended at some remark that Gen. B. inadvertantly dropped while dining at the American Hotel, Mason seized the carving knife and made an attempt to heart him. Gen. B. saw his movement in time to ward off the blow, wrenching the knife from him threw him on the floor, put his foot on him and tore his coot to pieces then threw him into the streets, seized a loaded horsewhip and gave him a severe flagellation, which, the writer remarks, "soon cooled his ire."

Jn levelling the auses of antiquity, there is danger that we level Us uses too, and dash down the very foundation of society. When we undertake to do a thing in our heart to doit, we are not willing to stop when it is done. Again, in using a good thiner we oA - a a. tuo much, and in following out an excellent irinc.pie, we often follow it too far.

Duroose nn.i ci.c.i-;..;n : - ...t.:.i. I i .iijiivii in WHICH men herd lor various objects: and man.lati too many; but to save themselves the trouble of seeing, thinking and acting for themselves. Licnce, no man acts of himself, but he sounds us horn, and summons around him h; . men, and forms a society, a party, a flock H hatever is to be done, must bedone in such societies. A solitary man is a wonderful man, and lucky indeed if he, be not thought a fit t..t iui a uiHU UOUSe.

Men must be hprW as cattle are herded. All classes, nil nnrii. all occupations, make imn f i - j"vivhv3 iui .III purposes. They are formed foi our heavenlv. as well as our earthly good. Religion has its thousands of societies. Everv denominatim. runs up its flag; Baptists and ana-Baptists; Unitarians and Universalis., and MihH;ti. Episcopalians and Arininiaiis. Each has its newspaper; each its schools, each its missionaries, and sub societies. Each baud its fol lowers together, and rallies them under one flag. Temperance has its societies. ltmPv. olence works by the social principle. Nothing can be done in religion, in morals, or in charity, without a society. So in business men are herding together. Steam is managed in companies. Mines are worked in companies. Swine are driven in companies. Millions of spinning jennies eo in comnanioc The Insurance companies mock at 'the calamity of lire. Canals, Railroads, Trusts Saving, Life-Insurance, Stocks; all are managed in companies. A man has a water-fall.

One has a thousand doll ars, and so has another; then a third is sum moned, and up springs a Bank, an I nsuranrp Office, a Land Company, or heaven knows wnat, such is the ingenuity of man! Why, pins are made in companies, so tire neerllocand so is every thing we see, touch, or use, from the buttons on our coat to the pegs in our shoes. There are card companies, thimble companies, paper companies, and wafer com panies.

It assembled, reasoned hesitated, deliberated, and then reml l C011 will, cautious moderation. When the Bostonians and VirSSITn ihe haH f the Involution in motion, they did so in obedience to the voices of almost all their countrymen. But it is not so now. Men seem to raise mobs for the very port of the thing, as they love to see a display of fire-works, a rocket, or so. Rebellion is often very gravely talked of, as an arla.r involving no principle. Even philanthropy loves a riot now and then. Religion's skirts are not always clear. The pre, as the organ of some society, acts upon the mas, as the exploding bomb that falls upon the magazine. Instead of being compelled to move the whole flock, but start the bcllwhether, and you have a riot any day! Such uie power oi the social organizations of the uay : srml he glorious results of th it darmp- nf nnr touninmen,on the ocean, in the forests, everywhere that an American flag can float, I have described in my former article. Be it my duty now to point out some of the dangers of this dnng. The truth is, all speculations have been so abundantly realized; all prophecy has lagged so far behind history; that though we once called madmen mad, we now only call them inspired. The cry is, 'Nothing impossible,' audacious as it is. The aliquid immensum infinitumque of Cicero, is the passion of the day. The Horatian 'Xil admirarij too, is on every man's banner. The power that Fulton vivified and subdued for man, is infecting the whole character of all our countrymen, and the destines of our country, too. To him be the immortal honor of striking out a new link for our Union, in annihilating the distance, r.s it were, that separated state from state, and thus more firmly 4 . . a ua ugriiici. iut mis power, at the same time is acting upon mind as well as upon matter.' It sends intn ih unrl.l .,.k flood of books, that we are overwhelmed by the very tide. There is so much to read, that many read nothing. There is so much to iniiiK ot, that we only think, to think we need not think at all. Alas! too, this new power is strengthening all the mischievous tendencies of the present day. As there is a steam power acting physically, so there is a steam power acting morally, intellectually, to which is given the name ot excitement. That creature, public. is fed on thia and nmr. fed, and, like all dainty epicures, thirsts for spicier dishes, and more fiery draughts. The public, like some great beast, roars for food, reckless of what that food may be, provided only it be a highly seasoned dish. Even the wizard pen of the once mighty Scott has, with some, ceased to charm, and another author has sprung up, carrying all before him, the "thrilling Bulwer, as he is called. Such is the thirst for terror, such lhe panting to witness even the spilling of human blood, you see your highways thronged, even with women, to witness an execution!
