rupts the feelings or the neart, ana .."ires a dark and fearful shade to the moral character. : s Man is saiJ to be a selfish being, but the history of the drunkard forms an exception to the adage, and only adds another confirmation to the position, that our interest or our happiness can never be associated with the. practice or principles of ev il. , The drunken man, from the nature
of the case, cannot he a virtuous one.
The gambling-bouse is, commonly,
next door to toe grog-shop, and the
cup is a passport to every vice without the recognition of a virtue. He stands
aloof from all the affinities of rectitude
the tone of his passions is made to
Correspond with the temptations tnat
surround him, and those very elements
of his nature, which could only be restrained by the firmness and vigilance of a sober hour, are awakened and lifted into fury Every light is obscured the monitor of his bosom sleeps, and, like the mariner on a boisteious
sea and in a starless night, without a
compass in a box. or a pilot at the
wheel, he floats at will upon a troub led and hopeless element.
We often pity the African, because he is bound to a tyrant and a task, but
he who bartershis freedom tor the lolly of the cup, is a slave of another sort.
He drinks dowr the fetters and the la-di, and makes his soul a bondman. His life is a low and lawless servitude.
II? is a slave to vice in all its aggravated varieties. He is a slave to the

since, though I was hound to stick to
the Gineral, right or wrong, as 1 tel.'ed him 1 would. Tother day when we came to that part of the message where we have to peak of money matters, we sent for Mr. Taney, our new Secretary of the Treasury, to bring in his accounts; he warnt quite ready, for he aiut as quick at sifer.n yet as he will be to rights, so we waited for him a spell, and left a place here and there in the message,
jest big enuf to put in figers; and so
last night the Gineral sent agin, and said he must have the counts "ready or
not ready," and up they came sure enuf, and not more than half cooked; but
the General wont wait for nothin when he's in a hurry. Now, say he, Major,
turn to and sec how the stand with last year. And so at it I went, coinpa riu all the amounts of outlays, the Gineral all the hilesmokin and thinkin pretty hard, with his teet upon the mantle. I figered up the sums pretty quick, considcrin there was a good nany on en called estimates, and when I gH to the end on't, now, says I, Gin
eral, you know 1 telled you that we could git up and put down nullification in no time we could turn out the cab
inet and appoint other folks we could send ministers abroad and let cm come home as soon as they pleased, and send other folks in their places, and give all full pay too wc could nock the United States and Squire Bi Idle all into splinters we could letourfdks goon the Inin lands in one place, and drive
em off in other places, and git up an login War and appoint new officers here and there and have now auditors to settle account a:id let the things
goon .n the Tost (Juice aud Land Office pretty much to suit the folks there; and instead of havia one Bank for our
money, scatter it about amtug the Ik . a a i .
Uanks ol our menus. All this we
could do, and have done, and taken tiie
sponsibility too, and the folks like us
the better for it but. says I. when
they come to see what it all costs, there'll ie trouble, now 1 tell you, says I. Why major, "says the Gineral, what's the matter, aint the Government economical, says he, do you expect to make reforms without costing something? Can you clear up swamps and cut ditches, an J remove old stuaips
w unout expense l l es, says I, vomeral , that's all true. But plague on't, says I, it's ben goin on so now uigli upon live years; and, says I, it keeps costiu more and more, and we are nearer bein swamped and sturnp'd than ever here, says I, jist look and see what "the Government" costs now, and what it co?t when Mr. Adams was President; and that aintttie worst on't
thinkin' on! Why, says I, Gineral, I
was thinkin, says 1, if you had kept your spectacles in your side breast
pocket, they would be on your nose now ; but, says I, that aint the worst
on't I'm afread, says I, Gineral, we've got too many pockets lor our mony, and when we want it we shall have to
come to our shirts aud boots before we find it. The Gineral got as bornity as all nature at this, and, says tie, Major, 1 wish now you was only Calhoun, or Biddle, or Clay, or M'DuflY, or Don Pedro, or Black Hawk, orauy one but Major Downing -for 1 feel as if 1 should like to give some one a thrashing.' Why, says I, Gineral, you ain't
mad nor nothin, be you, for 1 am too? says I ; and every time 1 look at the accounts, says 1, 1 feel a if 1 would like to git hold of some one; and so we stomped about a spell, cussin and discussin most things, till we gtcool agin ; but it was considerable of a storm, 1 tell you.

The spirit of the vision says, that sterile soil, that barren waste, that rugged path, are the life and prospect ol him, who gives ia exchange, all the cherished realities of the present and the living liops of the future, for the drun'iard's dram ai:d the drunkard's song."

From the JVic York Com. Adve -titer. LATLK FROM SrVuA. By the arrival of the brig Marceilus, me have received a file of the t iibraiter Chronicle to the 11th ult: tiurteeo days later than our previous advices. These papers contain intelligence from Madrid to the 5th of October. The progress of the cholera is one
of the most prominent topies in the
papers. The number of cases iu
Seville up to the 26th September had been 300, and new cases on the 27th, no fewer than 777. Seville has a pop
ulation equal to about one third of that of the citv of New York. The deaths
in Seville hav on some days, beet more than 300;- -the latest papers,
however, state that the disease was
abatitigin that city. It was still raging
at Badajoz, Huelva, OhveiiZi, and s-cvei al other places. The late Kino of Spain' will. The most important clauses of Ferdinand's will have been published. The Queen is appointed Guardian of his children, and sole Regent and Governess, of the Kingdom during the minority of the heir or heiress to the crown, with the ussistanceofa council,
composed of Cardinal, the Duke of
Medenacella, Gen. Marquis de las Amariilas, and D. Francisco Jevier Caro. The document is dated June 12, 1530. The death of the King of Spain was announced at Gibralter on the 4th ol October, whereupon the Lieutenant Governor issued an ordt r for hoisting the Royal standard half mast; and firing sixty minute guns. The Queen Governess has issued a Manifesto, dated the 4th of October, declaratory of the principles she is determined to maintain in administering the government during the minority of her daughter, Queen Donna Isabella.

Fortke Richmond Palladium. Ma. IIoixowAr. Permit me through
your p per to express my approbation of thc Literary Society that is forming being formed in this place ; I have reference to the
Richmond Lyceum. J his, as an institution,
if properly conducted tnd directed, will do
much in ndvancing its members in mental and inteilectud improvement. Even tiiosc advanced beyond the age of adolescence, and have been years eng tged in the duties of active lif s m y do much Ji this institution
towards -olvsncins themselves 111 science
and literature, but to the young men of thc pi ce it promises advantages of the very highest order. The mind of man is natur-
i liy ; ct;vc, and in youth pecuueriy so. in towns nnd villages, young men must, and will, dissociate themselves together of evenings and s other times, when unoccupied by their respective callings or during their relaxations from business ; and when thus associated, the levity ;-nd fnvolity of their age is such, that nothing is more common than for a 1 irge proportion of this time to be spent in any other wuy than improvement. Tiie Lyceum, as an institution, is calculated to enl-stand captivate the youthful member, because it gives full scope to talent and genius. In this Society, that necessary accompTsLment and ennobling cmbelUsliuoent, Oratory, m :y be nurtured and developed to the utmost extent; and to those wlio have no talent or inclination in this way, thc field is open for wielding the pen; and exercising and improving the faculties of the mind in its expansion and development, in expression and thought, by committing to piper, which, the writer may read if he does not wish to declaim.
