"He %shellac the Truth and keeps it, Keeps what hot to him belongs, Bat performs a selfish action, Amd his fellow mortal wrongs." The'other day an esteemed friend and subscriber burs; read us a lecture because we published a 4 certain Editeilal article in ilia columns of the Post. t‘ Is not the article true I" we asked our•Triend.— _ ii _ :Yes, every word of it is true, I hare no doubt," he replied, 4, but I think it was not expedient to pub: , lish it.". "You ate mistaken,. sir ; the truth should never be suppressed. That word expediency is not irk my socabulhry." We think so still. The Truth should never be suppressed on any account. It may possibly:some times ‘!ork a temporary injury to speak the Trilth but in die.-end, it is better that it should, be freely made known Witnesses in Courts of Justice are sworn, to speak 4‘ the Truth, the whore Truth, and not:sum 89T Tarr. Taunt and Sir Matthew sale has said that, in giving testimony, if a man intention ally suppresses the Truth, when it should be made known, he has committed a great crime, and is as much guilty of moral perjury as though he had told a deliberate falsehood.

From this command I appeal to the people of Mts. souri—the whole body of the people, and if they confirm the instructions, I shall give Outman oppor tunity to find a Senator to carry their will into effect, as I cannot do anything to dissohm this 'Union, or to array one half of it againit the other.

Fqr the information of Such citizens, and to let them see the next step In this movement, and where it is intended to end, I herewith subjoin a copy of the ACCOMIC resolutions, lately adopted in that county of Virginia, and folly endorsed by the Riehriumel Enquirer, as the voice of the South. I 46 not - produce these resolutions for the purpose of arraigning them ; on the contrary I see something in them to admire, as been bold and open, and to the true interpretation and legitimate sequence of the Calhoun movement. I consider the Calhoun address, and itroffspring, the Missouri instructions, as funda mentally wrong ; but to those who think them right the Accomac resolutions are also right, and should be immediately imitited as similar resolutions in Missouri. I produce them to enable the people of Missouri to see what it is to which their , legislature would commit the State, and what it is they have instructed me to do. I appeal tram these instructions to the people of Missouri—the whole body ofthe people—and in doe time will give my reasons for doing so. It is a ques tion above party, and, goes to the whole people. In •that point of view the Accomac resolutions present it—and present it fully; and I shall do the same. I shall abide the decision of the whole people, and nothing else. Respectfully, THOMAS H.

An interesting case, in which were involved the rights and duties of masters and apprentices was de cided in Lancaater, Pennsylvania, a few days ago. The Lancaster Union gives The particulars of the case which are as follows. In the Commonwealth vs. flumpherz, it appeared that the defendant was a carpenter by trade, and ordered his apprentice to saw and split wood, for household usea, in no way con nected with the" art, trade or mystery," which the young man was hound to learn, and the master to teach. The apprentice objected to cut the wood , because the axe was out of order. The master un• dertook to enforce his authority by beating the boy with a stick—the boy resisted, and afterwards indicr ed the master for assault and battery. Judge Lewis charged the Jury : Theta master who takes to apprentice, for the purpose of instructing him in any particdlar art or trade, has no right to withdraw the time and atten tion of the apprentice from the proper business which the one is to teach and ,the other, totem ; and that a highly respectable condition °can APricruct tan not be degraded to the - level of a smarm or mere SERVANT. 1.

An account of an underground lake, which was brought to light by the construction of the Central Railroad in Michigan, went the rounds of the pa perasorne time . since. A late Detroit Free Press gives the following additional intelligence in re lation to this singular phenomeon: The Underground Lake on the Central Railroad. —A short distance beyond Niles on the Central Railroad is this underground lake, of which we gave a description at the time the filling in was going on. Travelers in passing over the embank ment, since the road has been finished to New Buffalo, are generally anxious to take a look at the singular place, and by the more timid and su perstitions, some fears are entertained that all is not yet safe, and another "cave in" may take place. We crossed the spot last week, and from appearances should judge that the embankment would settle but very little hereafter. Since the heavy T rail has been laid down, immense heavy trains of freight and paisenger cars have passed over the road, and the ground at this point, in about the centre of the lake, has settled about two feet. The earth for a great distance around re tains evidences of the convulsions caused by the sinking of the embankment. The ground or crust is heaved up and cracked open in every direction, and in some places the cracks are over eight feet wide. The company have expended a large sum of money in carrying out the original design of crossing at this point, the exact amount of which it is impossible to arrive at, but it is probably over Stlo,oou.

The Logan (Ohio) Garzette, ( Whig,) in noticing the fact of a new Whig paper being about to be established in Washington, says: "The National Whig was established a year or two ago in Washington, and by its foolish, impru dent, and dictatorial conduct, did a great injury to the party. We sincerely hope that Mesirs..Bullitt and Sergeant's project may fail of success." The Gazette, can't forgive the Whig for having styled Gen. TA !LOB'S Wilmot Proviso, Signal let• ter, "a vile, base forgery." But BoLiirr and SI.IIOZAINT'S project won't fail just yet awhile, says_the Cincinnati Enquirer, for is has the approbation of General Turr.on himself We know the Whig papers hereabouts deny this but they are not in the secret.' Other Whig pa pers say it is so; we have referred to some of them; hear now what the Buffalo Expreit, (Whig) says' "It is a mere quibble—a paltry cavelling - about words, to deny that the paper is to be established at General Taylor's instance. The enterprise has his hearty approval, and the editors will have hie full confidence—this we know. Bulttt accompanied General Taylor from New Orleans, with an ex plicit understanding on the subject. The Whig must be extinguished, of course, and sooner the better. It never had a substantial foundation, nor a single element of vitality." The Whig seems to be in a very bad odor in. deed with its brethren—it must be extinguished, and the sooner the better—after all of Mr. Sae. resit's labors and sacrifices in behalf of General TATLCIIII Is the Whig such a contimptible thing as these simon pures wish to make it out? We ask for information. MP The Collector of the port of New Ifork,A.

Yet such was the fact—at half past _ll yesterday Mr. Marble was so far collapsed that there was no hope entertained of his recovery. Mr. Marble arrived here' on Friday. from St Louis. He called on us about noon Saturday, and in a half hour's familiar chat he informed us that he had been in the enjoyment of excellent health until about 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon, when he was suddenly attacked with diarrhea. He , promptly used some simple. remedies, but did not I experience much relief- until'nfter the arrival of the boat at Louisville at o'clock that evening, when he took rooms at the Louisville Hotel, and called in a physician. He 'was soon better, and although still weak when we saw him on Satur day, he thought he was out oF all danger. We urged upon him the impropriety of exposing him self by being out on such a;damp and disagreea ble day, and when he informed us of his intention to play at the theatre that night, we endeavored to dissuade him from it, and urged upon him the necessity of remaining.guiet But the ardor of his nature would not allow' , hitn to be still; and during the day and evening hi needlesslir exposed him self, again brought on the diarrhea, which soon placed him beyond the reach of remedies.
