At the clone of the revolutionary war, the articles of the old confederation were found insufficient to bind the old States together in one harmonious chord of union. The fjther of the Republic, saw that some more permanent system of government must be established , in order to . ' .... ii.: . .. i :.. .1 . secure the welfare and prosperity 01 me coun try The prohfibility, too, that the consent of ! many of the States coulJ never b obfaineJ to i theconfrderation of '77, induced the frainers ofj the ffoverumrnt to enter into tlio nitinemienl i irrremeiit of 17J7.

I almost fanny that 1 i can see them now deliberating over t no means j k.l r.leul CUlatVU IO liailUOOWH ihuk r.i ii i blessings, which llirir valor and patriolim h iJ aonoblvwon. We behold, in their midst, tlie philosophic Faiklin; the mild, ut staUman Itk Miuiav:i Hi" Immorial I aihkk or mi Covntbv; lugelhrr with a liott of others, whose valor in the field and statesmanship in 11)4 cabinet, rendered them illustrious. They all met together for the high and holy purpose of forming a new government for a new worlJ; and. by a mutual surrender of Stula sovereignty in order to form a generul government, and by a mutual compromise of conflicting interests to efTV ct national harmony, thy succeeded in fornnnjr our present glorious Union. With its formation, new era seemed lu commence in human affairs; -an era, charactf rized by the greht freedom of political institutions, and the general intelligence of the governed; one in which the riehl of mail to eoveru himself a right which could not be obliterated by the despotism of ceu tnries, was successfully vindicated, adopted and po t in practice. Let me for few minutes call your attention to Ihe second psrt of my auhject the importance of the Union. It may appear idle in me to ay any thing of the importance of tho Union, when the founders of our liberties, the author of the Declaration of Independence, mid the framers of the Constitution of the United States, have all enforced its importance and warned us of the evils which would flow from its separation; but sentiments which have lately prnng np, and which are now openly advocated proclaimed from the pulpit, and thundered forth from the rostrum; sentiments which are heard in your town halls in your State legislatures, and even in the councils of tho nation, make it necessary for every American, young and old, to place a proper estimate upon the. glorious confederacy of our couutry. What a sublime scene is here presented to our view: thirty sovereign and independent Slates, bound together by no other and stronger ties than common interest and mutual friendship' prusntiug to tho world the rare spectacle of Stale independence and National allegiance. Ours is the model country of the world. The eyes of all mankind are fined npou ns. We are the last hope of liberty tho lust resting-place of freedom. If we fall, liberty falls; if our Union lasts, freedom s.r vivss. It is the Union of our States in the holy bonds of friendship, that secures to ut the inestimable and peculiar blessings which wo as n Nation enjoy. It is this Union which gives our country peare and prosperity at home, und commands universal res'iect and confidence abroad. It is this Uuion which secures to us u firm National character; and, let me ask, what cm be of more importance than thiaf Nothing ! I repent it nothing. AH history proclaims all experience proves, that as soon as a Nation loses her national character; ns soon as she fails to give to her citizens an honorable protection, she is f one! gone! goue! Thus was it with the Roman linpire, that carried its arts and r.rms over the whole F.nsteru continent. Although she had, by the valor and discipline of her troops, planted the Roman eaglu on the walls of every Eastern city; she yet failed to give to her citizens that protection which justice told them they nieht exnect from the government. Her citi sens lost all respect for, and confidence in. her institiitinns.and Rome proud Rome fell to riso BO more: uur country, irom us KeuKr..jMii.:ni position, appears to have been destinea by the Almighty as the dwelling-place of one Nation; unlike Southern Europe, it possesses no bays or (utphs, reaching to the very centre of the country, and affording commercial advantages to a great number of independent States; but it pos sesses mighty rivers, running uirou" a grem rv tent of country, touching in their course the borders of many States. Thus making the middle States dependent, as it were, for commercial privileges upon those bordering upon the coast. To illustrate this point, let us suppose the Union to be divided, und n citizen of Illinois or Missouri tarts with a cargo of provisions for the West Indies; he passes down the river until he comes within the territory of Louisiana, here he is required to pay such a heavy duty on his articles s to make him lose money by the operation. Let ine ask you: would commerce be pursued under uch circumstances as these? No! The corn which now floats so peacefully down this river, (the great father of waters,) would he suffered to decav in the hnncsof the farmer. The arriculturist would no longer possess a market for his surplus produce, or if he did, he would not have Ihe means of reaching it- Thus j ou see, it is the I,ninn of these States that secures to the citizens nt the inland States, all the privileges they posessin common with those upon the coast.

' ......... present itself to our view: . en which won d shock every true philanthropist Al I WIOU2I11 Ihe sun would ever set on the Oismemtiermeni oi our once gloriouscoufederacy; 1 would not envy the prophet's power to unveil Ihe future; I should shudder at the thought of beholding thirty petty States. controlled by petty princes, and involved iu civil wars and internal commotions. But 1 fear your pntienre is wearied on this part of the subject, and I pass to notice the third, vis: What are the duties of the present generation with regard to the UuionT In a monarchy, man may be governed without obtaining knowledge of his country's institutions; but in republic, a country where the people rule and the majority govern, it is essentially necessary that every citizen should thoroughly understand the principles of his government. It is the first and greatest duly of the American to obtain thorough knowledge of his country's institutions. The present safety as . well as the future prosperity of our country, depends upon the geueral intelligence of the people who compose it. Then, is it not the duty of tho American people, to aid every institution whkh has for its object tho education of the American mind? Let us. in Iti4 language of Washington in his farewell address, "Promote, for tha general riitTusioa of knowledge." Let these word, spoken by him who achieved our liberties, sink deep in out minds. Let us feel that the perpetuity of our country and her institutions, depends upon the pure influence which intelligence imparts. Let us, as Americans, frown indignantly upon every attempt to sever this Union." Let us regard him as a traitor, and bi" doctrines as treason, who would advocate sack measure. II cannot be regarded as safe counsellor, or a friend of mankind, who would, for party purposes, or from sectional feelings, recommend such a measure; a measure which, if consummated, would blast the fairest prospects of mas and destroy tho noblest government of tho n Diverse. How mean and degraded will that man appear, in the eyes of all posterity, who shall have been instrumental in Vstroyiog such benign institutions! And how dark will that age appear which has to record, sa its darkest deed, tho destruction of such inestimable blessings tho dissolution of such a happy sad prosperous form of government! Let us romomtier, that "eternal vigilance is the price of ioeny. a no inai 11 wo would wish to lesvo tboss glories institutions to our posterity, wo rnsst kssp a tireless vigil as to their preservation.

never use any thing but tin "sparkling water" overstepping the bounds of order, and that very often, needs not be proved by me. Listen for one moment at the stream of profanity issuing from that young man's mouth, (winch I know - - - - the rules of etiquette at the "May party" would entirely forbid,) yet we know that there are those who drink only ivater that are not so tem perute in the selection of their words aa they should be. Now gentlemen, the truth of the matter is this: the temperance reform is good. yes, its effects are glorious, and yet it may not be sufficient for a safe-guard against all evil; a reformation even in one thing omi.v, may be good, and yet not adequate to all tho wanUof man. And before I close this article, I would jut observe, that water is a very important substance. God saved the only righteous fimily on earth, once by water, and there have been persons saved by it since, in some sense. Sylvan Hill, May 7. J. W. II. For tho Palladium. RiciiMOMo, 5th mo. 13th, 194D. Editors Pam.adii'm: Uy giving place to the following reply to Juxirs" of last week, you will oblig tho uiidersigued. Itinkkant Lectuueks and other lItJ.iiBCGS." I have been induced to notice the remarks of "Junius" of jst week, because of the ungenerous and unjust judgment, which he seemed to "think his duty top, iu behalf of "public sentiment," upon If. Wisner and his Lectures, and that too, it appears, without the evidence of his own senses to assist him, as he says, "he is informed," Sec. it is often difficult, and sometimes even impossible, to judge correctly by the hearing of tho ear, but it is much more unsafe, to do so from hearsay. It is seldom th'j case that persons having such a "prurient desire for knowledge," do not manage to collect enough of that precious Loon, to be able to judge, at least for themselees, between the genuine and the spurious article, wiihout leaving it to a would-bo monopoly, to decide for them. We are not an advojcato for Lecturers in general, not Book Ageuts, in particular, but w do like, even the euemy of ult righteousness, to have his due, as well as those who, in their "peregriuations through the West," call nt Richmond, and give us the result of a "six mouths study of Phrenology," i.c.,&.c. II. Wisner, must certainly have been a very apt ifcr.oi.tr, to nave acquired sucli knowledge as he evidently possesses, in so short a time and we sincerely hope that some of tho lessons which he taught Ihe public, "glancing and superficial though they were," will not soon be forgotten. Junius however, seemed to discard the idea, that those large audiences, which nightly assembled, formed uuy part of the public, by the allusion lie made to 'public sentiment, and certain it is, that Wisner held large audiences, which increased rather than diminished, towards the close, and we would naturally suppose, they came to learu something. As regards the "horible ravagrs, made upon the King's English," we have only to sav, that we are Americans, and our language Republican, chaste, and easy to be understood, and we recognize no allegiance to the "King's English," any farther than it suits ( f ,i;..;Ha.. r. i " And if the ""I ........ . . ... ...... c .v......'..., -v. wmv. ceed iu "opening the doors of science, I hope,

And if we should, from inability, or "incapacity," be unable to proceed with our "ponderou treasure," we would respectfully solicit the co-operation and instruction of Junius, or "Mr. Semebody-elee. And as there was no compulsion in regard to attending the Lectures, or purchase of Books, hope "public sentiment" will not bo agrieved. JUSTICIANA. S. Carolina Railroad. The Charleston Mercury of tho 3d inst., says, the immense amount of buisness done on the South Carolina Railroad may be estimated from the fact that during the ; - . . . . r. . I month of March the revenue from its '. operations amounted to S 1 10.000 against ! 75.000 for the same month last year, About 45.000 bales of cotton were trans ported over the road during the month, or an average uf nearly 1,500 per day.

One of his associates, perhaps one of his travelling mess, Mr. Young and Mr. Hannah, with others, were practising with pistols, shooting at a mark, Mr. Hannah happened to pass before Mr. Young when the pistol held by the latter accidentally went off, the ball killing Mr. H. almost instantly. The deceased was a son of Samuel Hannah, Treasurer of State, and formerly of this county. He was a young man of high-minded and generous disposition of energy and honorable bearing. His associates will miss him in their long and weary journey, for he was the life of an adventure, and his young friend who was the innocent cause of his death will mourn the accident which has befallen him. ---<>--- SUB-TREASURY—PROSPECTIVE MODIFICATION.— A telegraphic dispatch to the Baltimore Sun, dated Washington, 2d inst., states that it is said that the recommendation of Vice President Fillmore, on the subject of Banking Corporations, while comptroller, in favor of the receipt of State Bank Notes, secured by United States Stock, for governmeut dues, meets with favor from Mr. Meredith, and it is believed that some such modification of the Sub-Treasury will be recommended to Congress at their next session, by the Treasury Department. ----- <Joseph A.

The demonstration of the sons [sic] of Temperance designed to have been had in Cincinnati on yesterday was indefinitely postponed, on account of the prevalence of Cholera in the city. This was right

and proper, as fatigue, and exposure are j t,,e merrier, and what is better yet, the Conven- . . f. tinn cannot fail to make a good selection if ei-

conducive of that disease. On the day after the battle of Waterloo, on the surface of two square miles, it was ascertained that fifty thousand men and horses were dvinjj. At that battle eighty thousand were killed and wounded. CHOLERA AT CINCINNATI By the papers received last evening, we learn that during the 24 hours preceding Sunday at noon, there were reported 45 new cases, with 7 deaths during the same period. That in the 24 hours preceding Monday at noon 20 cases and 3 deaths. We know not how much confidence is to be placed in these reports.

That poriorn of said great route extending from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, and from Columbus to St. Louis, being either in process of construction or means proi vided therefor, there remains to b provi- . . . . . m (led tor that portion between Pittsbur and Columbus.

Of culin ary vegetables, meely potatoes, well boile l homony and rice, are not only the best, but all other had better be omitted. Pies, tarts, and all kinds of pastry are improper, except, perhaps, well baked and highly spiced ginger-bread. Of drinks, sweet milk, tea, cotTa. and chocolate may be taken as uiuaI. Those who drink malt liquors at their meals. should limit themselves ta treahly brewed strong beer, well hopped. As U brandy and v hisky, they cannot prevent Cholera. They who are in the habit of using either. hould not uy it aside; but they should avoid all excess. Titose who have nol such a habit should hy no means begin now. The use of bran ly in the treatment of disease, must nol be confounded with its use as preventive. Tha irritation of the stomach and bowels produced by ihe lirst impress of alcoholic drinks, may even contribute to bring on tha disease, and sour wines are still more likely to hav that effect.
