These remarks are applicable to the selection of all public servants. If members of Coiiirress be weak and in
competent, we cannot expect much from their efforts. If members of our L:gM iture are ignorant of the true interests of the state if they are destitute of that sound ptaclical knowledge
of business, which age; and experience
ought b confer upon them or if they
carry w ith them, to the halls ol legislation, their partizan footings or their
sectional prejudices, the stale cannot expect that much benefit will result from their deliberations. The intcr-e-t cf (he people of the slate will he overlooked ; and that calm and impartial exercise of reason which ought to accompany the discus-ion of all important subjects will he dispensed with, in order to make room for the operations of parly spiiit and personal influence; or, in otlur words (which will be belter ui.derstood) for a log rolling syf'cin ef legislation.

CAPACITY or THK SLAV!:. A merchant of New Orleans, of the name of Mitchell, purchased of Gen. Hampton, one of his splendid plantations on the coast above the city; and with the plantation a number of the most likely slaves were sold. Tlie liist act of Mr. Mitchell on taking possession of this property, was to distribute
small lots ol land, to he worked separately Jy each slave, receiving from each a certain share of the products. The slave's share is consigned lo the master at New Orleans, and the proceeds arc faithfully paid over. The consequences resulting from this plan, are, that the slaves live much better, are more industrious, and better informed than on other plantations. They
also have been known to be able to loan Mr. Mitchell several thousand dollars at a lime. These facts furnish an unanswerable argument of the capacity of the colored population, to do, and take care of themselves as well as their while brethren. .Uleghanif Transcript.
PUNISHMENT OF DEATH. One will be convinced of the inefficiency of capital punishment in restraining crime, by looking over the criminal code of England, for several centuries past and connecting with it the multitude of crimes, many of which are of the darkest dye, that are almost of daily occurrence in that coiinlry. Sir
William Hlackstone, observrd in his lime, that among the vaiiety of crimes which men were daily liable to commit, no less than one hundred and sixty have been declared, bv act of Parliament, to
be felonius, without benefit of clergy,
or in other words punishable with
Death. During the reign of Henry
VI. it is staled that more persons were
executed in England, for robberies and murders in one year, than in France
in seven; and during the reign of Hen
ry VIII. who was ;i great advocate of
capital punishment, no less than 72,000 persons died by the hand of the
public executioner, being at the rate of 2000 per annum. These sanguina
ry laws still exit, but do not tend to ro-
T1IK WtSTKKN .KRO.VAIT. On next Wednesday, Mr. Clayton makes his second grand aerial tour, in his "Star of the West." If the day prove fair and Ihe wind blow in the proper direction, we have no doubt that lie w ill accomplish his wish, and breakfast on lobsters, or some oilier til bit of
the Atlantic, on the ensuing morning. 13 v ihe way, wc will just notice, in llii-; place, a strange species of incredulity w hich has taken possession of some of the brains eastward. Some sage editors seem to doubt Mr. Clayton's story, and think his fancy was unduly busywhen he penned his account. This is as unjust as it is silly. When a man writes
fiction he does not give you evidence by which his own account may bo disproved; and yet, if Mr. Clayton's story were untrue, he. has furnished ihe means by which it may be discovered. Tlie sagacity of the good peophl hereabouts is not to be imposed on so easily. If there is anything in western charac
ter which contradistinguishes it broad lv from eastern character, it is most especially to he found in its unswerving purposes .and executive energies. Su pinens will not answer; and an individual to succeed here, must be prompt and energetic. Mr. Clayton's recent excursion, which is unparalleled in length, was but a manifestation cf the peculiar nervousness which is quite
general in tlie West. But before the expiration of another week, if all things
rc nuspiciou, we have no doubt that
our eastern friends will have an ev
lence of what we have said frequently
ibout western character. Mr. Clayton
will land .among and furnish them with
intelligence from the Queen Cily of a
very few hours date. We wish him a
successhn voyage, and a sale return.

T rCA.tlS A S. STEAM. Quite an animated contest has been carried on for several weeks past between those crterprising mai coach proprietors, Stockton & Stoke?, and the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-Road Company, in the transportation of passengers between ibis cily and Baltimore, which has caused considerable excitement among our citizens, w ho watch the arrival of the cars and stages with much interest.

death of Ihe greatest personage in this country, whose weight of character was
unequalled, and who was well known to be invulnerable lo anv shaft of mal-

the summer tour through the Eastern Stales, and (lied suddenly in his tray-

The individual we allude to if indeed it can be necessary to be more explicit is the collossal Rhinoseros, which was the pride and Magnus Apollo of the splendid Zoological Institute ofth'14 city.
