This volume of Select Orations from the works I
of Cicero, intended for the use of schools and {
colleges, forms a part of the series of classical j
looks published by the Messrs Applet on. The ,
basis of it is a small work issued by T. R Arnold, |
in England, and the orations are given in the
same order as in the Boston edition, by Charles
l'olsom. The editor claims, as the chief merit of
this volume, the accuracy of the text, which is
that of Obelli, as revised by himself subsequently
to his edition of the entire works of Cicero.
The typography and binding are just what they
ought to be.

This is a new edition of a work published by
I >r Robinson, in 1836, the value of which was
attested by its immediate republication in Great
Britain in three rival editions, and its subse|
<iueut appearance there in two abridgments. Since
, that time, so great has l?een the advanoeroent of
Biblical literature, that, having been called upon
to prepare a new edition he has deemed it proper
to rewrite it large portion of the work, without
regard to time or labor ; and the remaining portion
has been thoroughly revised. In a lucid,
satisfactory preftce, he states what he believes to
be the characteristic traits of this work, of which
we present the following summary.
The etymology of each word is given, so far
as it appertained to the Greek and Hebrew, and
occasionally the Latin.
In a Lexicon confined to the New Testament,
the Historical method would be out of place, but
the Logical method is still applicable. This
cousists in giving to each word its primary signification,
and then deducing from it, in logical order,
all the significations which occur in the New
Testament.
The various constructions of verbs and adjecI
lives, with their cases, and with all the adjuncts,
arc fully given; and unusual and difficult constructions
are noted and explained.
The different forms and inflections of words
are exhibited, and irregularities explained.
So far as the limits of a Lexicon would permit
attention has been given to the interpretation of
ditlicnlt passages.
Kach article, so fir as practicable, contains a
reference to every passage of the New Testament
in which the word is found?so that the Lexicon
furnishes an ample Concordance.
Of the profound scholarship, great industry, and
conscientious accuracy of Dr. Robinson, nothing
need be said. His work, which forms a volume
of 800 pages, is of inestimable value to the student
of the New Testament.

We are happy to state that a movement is on
foot in this city, which, if we mistake not, will
bring out the strongest expression of public sentiment
in favor of the recent peace measures of
Congress that ever was uttered in this city on that
or any similar topic. Several preliminary meetings
have been held, at which the best poss'ble
spirit prevailed. A call for the proposed general
meeting will soon be circulated for signatures, and
we hope all to whom it is presented will be ready
to append their names?Journnl of Comurree.

THE DISUNIONJSTS RELENTIMi.
The North was warned that, if Congress admittp.l
California into the Union if it reipcted
the line of 3C? 30', and abolished the Bluve trade
in the District of Columbia, Georgia was pledged ,
to call a Convention of her People, and dissolve '
the Union?and she would be sustained by the
other Southern States.
Congress admitted California, rejected the line
of 36? 30', and abolished the slave trade in the
District. " War to the Knife !" " Blood to our
Saddle girths!'' " We'll mnrch up to3(i? 30' with
our ooftics on our latcks !" cried the elite of the
chivalry. The Columbia (Ga.) 7Yj?k.*, a journal
which has signalized itself by its tremendous outf<*
denounced all res
short of secession:
" We care not what others may do, we intend
to carry our banner unlowcred through the coctvs*.
wn'n me Wsi, rroesi, and &niy motto wbrthy
of the battle Inscribed upon it 'Secession, the
only effectual remedy for the evils of an abolition
Union!' We believe a dissolution of this Uuion
is inevitable. We know it is necessary, to save
the institutions of the South."
This is a specimen of the raving of the Disunionists.
But the North was pricked too. The
Fugitive bill, unexpectedly to its authors, aroused
a storm of excitement in that section, and everywhere
the threats of the Secessionists at the
South were met by menaces of Nullification at
the North, from men not accustomed to be unduly
excited. The result is. an apprehension that the
" wrong passeuger has been waked up:" and now
what do we hear? This same Columbus Times
lowers its banner, is willing to postpone Secession,
and, in relation to a proposition to acquiesce
in the past, remarks :
" So far as we are concerned, we should be jwrf
ctly trilling to see the State Convention adopt {
such a platform?not because we do not believe
that enough has already been done, wrong upon
outrage, like Ossa on Pellon, to justify and rcI
quire the South to resist?but because, so important
ilo we regard a union of the South, we would
cheerfully yield every personal opinion, feeling,
and prejudice, every consideration of pride of
! consistency, in order to array the whole people of
, Georgia to defend themselves from aggressions
! which, unchecked. muRt result in their utter ruin.
1 We Bhould he perfectly content, then, that the
I Convention Bhould adopt such a platform as this.
"We will forgive the insults and submit to the
i wroogs of the past; hut if Congress, first, abol|
ishes slavery in the District; second, in the forts
and arsenals; third, repeds the Fugitive law;
or, fourth, refuses to admit a new State because
j of a slavery clause in its constitution?then, and
j in that case, on the happening of cither of these
j contingencies, the State of Georgia is ordained
i and declared, ipso facto, to he out of the Union ?
; a free and independent sovereign State, with all
the powers delegated to the General Government
recalled, and all her obligations to it revoked.
" Will this platform suit the men who say the
time for resistance has not ytt come, but it may
come?
" If so, speak it out; and let all who lovo the
South, who value their rights, who hate tyranny,
I and scorn a craven suhmissionism, unite on a comj
mon platform that will save us from the abolition
i storm that ia gathering its bolts for our destruction."
They will not insist, then, upon throwing California
back into a Territorial condition?upon
the adoption of the line of 36? Of, upon the repeal
of the Mexican law prohibiting Slavery !
Well, how strange ! That was just our impression
froui the beginning?and it is also our impression
that had the miserable Fugitive bill
never passed, the Reverend Mr. Colquitt would
have been no more anxious to carry his collin on
his back, than he is now to be carried in it.
SORDID.
Failing in touching any higher motive, the editors
of New York and other Northern cities have
been compelled to cipher up to the North the cost
of agitation, and are solving the problem of Nationality
by the Simile Rule of Three f
Busiest among these calculating gentry, those
speculative patriots, is Mr. Brooks of the Erpresr,
who thus appeals to the pocket-nerve of his brethren
of the patriotic, the national North, to preserve
" this glorious Union." basing his appeal on
the ennobling and immutable principles of profit
and loss.
Hear him calculate the value to the tune of
" Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes;
An emptj pocket's tfce worst of crimes.
Southern Press.
"Grass would grow in our streets, we say, if
this Union was shattered; for what is this city
but a great exchange for cotton, for rice, for tobacco,
as well as for American manufactured
goods, and for the importations from Buropc, and
here to a focus comes the trade of the North and
.South, and of all Kurope with which we have intercourse,
whereby our commission merchants, our
jobbers, our importers and exporters of all classes,
live and thrive
"The 500,000 human beiDgs within the sound
of the City Hall bell obtained their livelihood
from the sugar and cotton planter of the Misssis
sippi, the Alabama, the Uhatlaboochec,toe runtee.
etc., wbo exchanges here the products of hi* eo:l
for the handiwork and headwork of the North;
and whit an utter suicide it is for such a city to
pile on the abolition torch, and to set on fire so
glorious a work !"
The Sjuth'rn Press makes use of this sordid
appeal to encourage the I)isunioni?ts of the South
in pressing their demands. What these demands
are may be understood by the following, tooted
with approbation by the Souihrn Press:
"The editor of the Savannah A'erjgoes for the i
following, and he is right."
" 1. Congress should be required at its next
session to repeal the local laws of Mexico, by
which the South is excluded from the United
States territories.
" 'J. Congress should repeal or so alter the law
admitting California, as to preserve the line of
;t6? .'tO',and give the territory south of that line a
territorial government, with protection to Southern
property.
" A series of measures tending to these, or
similar results, would give satisfaction to the en|
tire South, and silence forever the cry of resistance
and disunion among our people Such a
series of measures would be but justice to the
South, and we believe could be practically carried
out by the united and resolute action of the
South."
Were the people of the Free States fairly repI
resented by the E>press, Journal of Comm-rc*, j
Mirror, and Herald, of New York city, these de- |
mands would be promptly complied with at the
, next session of Congrees,for the sake of preserving
the Union, and keeping the grass from growing
in the streets of Qotham.
New York is a great city; bat, thank Qod, it
is not the United States. It might be blotted out
of existence to-morrow, and its plaoe would soon
bo filled again. The welhre of tltg twenty-two

from the Atlantic to the Pacific, does not depend
upon the " '>00 000 human beings within sound
of the City 11*11," who obtain their livelihood '
from the sugar and cotton plantations of the
South.
"The ox knoweth his owner, and the aas hie
master's crib." We do not wonder that those
who obtain their livelihood from the planter,
should consult his wishes and obey his will. But j
there are a few millions of people not " within the
sound of the City Hall," or of the music of the
plantation, who live by their own earnings and
are accountable to no mister. The dcgtinies of
this Itepublio are with them?not with the servile
dependents upon " the sugar and cotton plant- ;
ations of the Mississippi, the Alabama, the Chattahoochee,
the Santee,' k.e. Ii is not to be expected
that the latter should have ideas of national
character and well-beiug much above the crib at
which they feed. But the former are educated
in the belief that Truth, Freedom, Justice. Humanity,
are the foundation* of National Honor
and Prosperity, and should they ever be compelled
to choose between these, on the one hand,
and Union on the other, the Union woul l not assuredly
be rejected, even at the risk of sending
the Rjprtss mm, with his fellow dependents, to beg
bread of the planters whose will is their law.

of the Treasury, it appears that the number of

consumed, in the States of Teunessee. Alabama,
Georgia, and South Carolina, in the year 1819,
were as follows:

Besides numerous others iu various parts of the

had cotton manufactured at the South?the business
being confined almost wholly to the New
England States."
Just examine these figures. Tennessee has
36,000 spindles; the same number as South Carolina,
and there is but a slight difference between

amount of capital invested is only $121,000, while
that of South Carolina ia $ 1.000,000! Alabama
has nearly twice as many spindles as Georgia,
more than four times as much capital invested,
and yet consumes less cotton.
These blundering returns are for 1849. Compare
them with those of 1840: Tennessee, according
to the census of that year, had 38 cotton manufactories,
eight more than she has now ; 16,813
spindles, not half the number she has now; capital
invested $463 240, four times and three-fifths more
than she has now !

nine thousand less than she has now ; and capital
invested, $.173,805, five times sis much as in 1819 .

has decreased since 1810, iu one, from $463,240,
to $100,000, and iu the other from $573,805, to
$121,090, the capital thus invested in Alabama
has increased from $35,.376 in 1810, to $.300,600

and worse than useless.

but at present they aeem docile enough.
Under the auspices of the He raid, and Journal of
Commerce, a " Union party" has been started here,
founded on the operation of mercantile fear, lest

going to hear her, don't believe one tenth of what

yourself up to expect. She simply has u clear,

make you think of rich plate glass. Most
of her songs are brilliant Italian pieces, showy in
execution; and she loads them with ornamentAs
a matter of curiosity, it * ill satisfy you to see

true music will get very little satisfaction at one
of ber concerts. What do you wunt of those
over-wrought, fantastic bits of Italian, mnnglingly
cut out from operas, and given to you in a doubly
unknown tongue ?
A very large portion of the printed enthusiasm
about Jenny Lind's singing is no doubt paid for ;
and a good deal of the rest comee from the morbid
taste of some mannerists of critics Probably if
she were to appear, with good support, and full
appointments, in some really artistical opera, the

the small fixings, are carefully snd elaborately i
rendered. An upholsterer's or dry goods man's

something consistent with the noble death of the

FROM Till! INDIAN TERRITORY.
Council Grovk, Indian Tkrritorv,
October 4, 1850.

Having some leisure time here, while waiting j
on the movements of our train, I thought I would
write you a few lines concerning some things in
general, and others in particular. This place is
about 1 r>(J miles from Independence, and ISO from
Fort Leavenworth, on the Santa Ke road. It is
within that part of the Indian Territory belonging
to the Cuw or Kansas Indians There are
here, at present, about seventy-five white settlers,
among whom there are but three white women?
most of those who are married having their wives
in the State of Missouri. One man told me that
he had been married four years, and bad lived
with his wife but one year, and that at different
times. The state of society is what might be expected
under the circumstances?surrounded by
savages, and without the refining, humanizing influence
of female association. But there is some
hope of improvement. The men here appear fully
sensible of their condition, and the disadvantage
of the absence of this refining influence. Those
who have wives now feel the necessity of having
them with them, and those who have not, lament
the want of such society. However bad the condition
of men may be, it is always hopeful when
they are sensible of their situation, and long for a
better state of things. How insatiate must betbst
lust of wealth that will reconcile men, even for a
short time, to self-hanishment from home and the
refinements of civilixcd society, for no other
purpose than the acquisition of a few paltry dollars.
TKppa is ftlt immcnw omnnnl r\P wnwal /aw
road. Branching about 25 miles back from this
place, it leads to Fort Leavenworth, West on, Westport,
Kansas, and Independence?all being nearly
squi-distant from this point. There is an extensive
transportation business done between theso places
and Santa Fe. There are on tkn road at tbis
time seven trains, containing in all one hundred
and eighty wagons, each wagon carrying, I suppose,
on nn average 4,000 pounds of freight,
making a total of about 720 000 pounds. It would
not be fair, however, to estimate the usual amount
of transportation from this calculation, as nearly
all these wagons are laden with Government
stores for the Army, and were ordered out in view
of the prospective difficulty with Texas. Vet the
amount of travel along this road ot all time* is
very great, and must, since the adjustment of the
Teias difficulty, be continually increasing. It
needs no prophet to predict the result. In the
conrse of a very few years settlements of enterprising
and adventurous whites will spring up as
if by inngio all along the line. These will gradually
enlarge themselves into flourishing villages,
and these villages in turn will be magnified into
populous cities. The indolent and thriftless savage
will melt away before the superior power and
go-ahead enterprise of his white neighbor. The
war-whoop will bo superseded by the solemn
church-bell, and the patient psck-mule snd snailpaced
oi-wagon will be run off the track by the
snorting " iron-horse," with his thundering train,
running a sweep-stake with the magnetic telegraph.
This may be a fancy sketch, but at our
past rate of progress, multiplied by the inerc<i*ing
demands and facilities of the future, who shall
pretend to say how soon this fancy sketch may be
thrown entirely into the shale by the glorious
reality.
There is a difficulty now brewing between the
Caws, on the one hand, and the O sages and Creeks
on the other. It appears that, for some time book,
the Caws have been stealing horses from the lat- I
ter tribes, for which they have determined to have
satisfaction. Accordingly, on lost Hun lay, the
chief of the Caws received a letter from the chiefs
of the Osages and Creeks, stating that, for many
years, iney naa mougm iney na<i ?! > ruciuiv* ci- i
cpt the Pawnees, though, for ?me time buck,
they had been myelin* the Caw*. Keoenlly
they had satisfied themselves of the fact that the
latter had been stealing their horece, for two or
three years, and eelling them further north. They
iemaaded the restoration of their property in the
sonrse of two weeks, sad in the event of a nonwmplianoe,

upon them, and satisfy themselves actordinf to th*
lutrt st honor. The Caws will probablj try to
make wme compromise of the matter, as the
Os igcs alone are nearly ten times as powerful as
they; but should they fail in this, you need not
be surprised to hear of bloody work between
them.
Since I wrote to you from Fort Leavenworth.
1 have become more and more deeply convinced
of the miserable policy (if policy it may be oal!ed)
of the general Government in relation to the Indians.
The remedy for this 1 leave with those
better acquainted with governmental affairs, but
I venture to predict that, unless that policy is
changed, the future history of our countn&i* dee- ,
tined to have another bloody page conseWhted to
the annals of "border warfare." Things are
ripening fast here already for a " skirmish" between
the whites and the Indiana, and it need not
surprise you, at any time, to hear that blood has
been shed in profusion. In fact, the whites here
say that they do not see how they can avoid it. ;
They complain bitterly of the inetficiency of the
governmental policy. The whites cheat the Indians.
and the Indians, in turn, steal from the
whites This leads, as a matter of necessity, to
mutual jealousies and recriminations, which must
ultimately end in an open rupture.
There is a new migsion house erected here. It j
will probably he completed, and the mission put
into operation this winter It is to be hoped that
it may exercise a salutary influence over both
whites and Indians. Yours truly,

affairs, in some respects, we are, as you know)
wi le asunder us the poles. Hut to my task.
It is now anything but agreeable to the Liber- ;

while so strengthening the hands of the privileged
as to render any such efforts at revolution as
marked the progress of 1848 and '49, fur less
likely to succeed than seemed those memorable
catastrophes, as they proved in the end. Even
poor old reactory Pio Nino, who trembled at his
own shadow, and starts back when coughing, as
though doubting whether the noise is not made
by the explosion of un infernal machine, is playing
Talleyrand with the Peidmontese, who alone,
of his spiritual subjects, still dare to think for
themselves a little on ecclesiastical matters.
Though the Cabinet of Turin have caused the
arrest, trial, and banishmentof the Archbishops of
Turin, Franzoni, and of Cugliari, Mnrongiu
Nurra, hecauso they persisted in endeavoring to
carry out the directions of the council of the
church at Home, Pio Nino hesitates to fulminate
a bull of exoommunicUion at the heads of the
offenders. Russia and Austria are doubtless at
the botton of this well-timed leniency. They dare
not let the world know that, in 18.'>0, bayonets
cannot give much more force to a papal bull of
excommunication, than their genuine wit secures
for the accounts which Punch publishes of the reception
accorded to Maynau by tlarklay and Perkins's
brewer-boys. Were this important politioal
fact to become apparent to the unthinking, as to |
those who study the condition of Europe, one
great lever with which the Governments manage
their respective masses would drop from their
hands. " Divine right" is but a phase of superstition
; and to have that phase exploded, might lead
to a general explosion of the mine over whioh they
are now contriving and forging stronger chains
for the people.
Immediately at homo Pio Nino is doing his best
to consolidate his temporal power, while he is actually
afraid to venture to pass between his palace
and a church, without first taking measures to
prevent tnc possibility or nis oemg snoc irom
some window under which lie must travel instate.
He has regained power, but with it came fear of
his life, which makes him dread poison in every
cup, and a dagger in every outstretched hand.
Poor old dupe, be has, indeed, a hard time of it,
hated, as he is, by all classes of thoso around him
except Government cliques, who use his band to
clutch the taxes, as the cat did the paw of the
monkey to get the chestnuts.
The Cabinet of Prussia is alarmed, doubtless,
at the rashness of thoso who direct the affairs of
Hesse Cassel. who, disregarding the urgent advice
of Austria, are proceeding above law, around law,
and without law, to compAsa the entire enslavement
of the people of their little Duchy, as did
the Camnrilla Cabinet, when thry had tho excuse
of the existence of the Hungarian Revolution.
Hease Cassel has a Constitution giving to the
civil courts authority to pronounce on the constitutionality
of the decrees of the Elector. This
functionary has recently proclaimed that his military
courts shall punish whoever disobeys, resists,
or hinders in any manner the execution of
his laws pronounced unconstitutional by the
courts The Prussian Cabinet have earnestly remonstrated
against this course, as being likely to
involve, fiist, tbe Elector's little municipality,and
rventuallv the whole of Europe, in civil war. In
fact, they have uotified the Klector'a Council, that,
unless they retrace their stops?reentering on a
peaceful and latr/ul (!) course?measures will be
taken by the gn at Powers to abate, by the depoHition
of the Klector himself, the common danger

Napoleon's chinces to establish an empire for
