In another article wc Have given our objections against the extent to which Mr. Webster is carrying (he practice of addressing political meetings, together with what wo deem his unjust assumption of nll tho credit for (ho passage of the compromise measures' Those objections will be seen (o derive strength from tho fact that the cabinet visit to New York occurred in accordance with prior arrangements; and thatPreii. dent Fillmore had prepared in his own mind a regu- Jar dramatis psrsomc, as theatre going people would say, of the performances, which ho unfortunately published,during a season of official glorification at Albany:— •'/ mutt tine leave the geuthmin who are with me It tpeek la yau-twa mtmbert of my cabinet.

In a hearty approval of Mr.' Webster** support of the Compromise measures, wo yield to no one. Dis. carding all factious and fanatical associations, he no sooner saw hie way clear than ho threw the weight of bis talents, influence and position into the toalo of the union parly, und nobly stood by the compromise bill until it was passed. And since that time by his counsel, his speeches and his letters he has uniformly ahown that his heart is with the meastires, and that they will receive hia earnest support hereafter. For r and Proprleto|« it, JUNE 0, 1801. all this zeal the friends of those measures feel willing to award to him all just praise and gratitude. Indeed so far as tho public pulse may be ascertained, from telegraphic items, public dinners; resolutions, letters, voles of thanks, &e>, with which both Whig and Dem ocratic Journals abound, we think Mr. Webster can* not fail (b see that his services have been generally appreciated. To Ihoso leslimontals of regard and of gratiiflde wo mako not the slightest objection. Pub lic, services are .deserving of acknowledgment, end t( is one of (ho healthful and natural acts bf aTree generous people which we would not prevent if wo could, to express at tho proper time and in a suitable manner, & warm approval of the conduct of their agents. What then would wo complain off Simply this- Mr, Webster’s and its Ulterior object. Bellas within one year made'more speeches and public addresses, than all his predecessors together made while in office; and tho invariable (heme in all has boon “ his own poor sorvices in behalf on (his endangered ’Union." Taking Mr. Webster a* J authority, one would suppose, that be did the whole I •‘supporting" of the tottering fabric. Mr. Webster I saved tho Union. . Mr. Webster pissed the compro miso measures. Mr. Webster alone , vindicated the constitution. Mr. Webster has redeemed the coun try. Mr, Webster—in a word—has combined In himself tbo functions of President, Secretary of State, Senate, House of Reprcscntotivca and the Press adding to these agencies another which all will readily accord to him—that of visiter at largo to every public gathering to which jio may bo invited, and at every .one cif which the over recurring topic U his indispensable connection with the salvation of the Union! Now we protest against this endless scif-glorifica. ; lion. Wo dislike it in the first place because we think it is - hardly the tiling for a .cabinet officer to be absent quite so much from his post on the busi. ness of president making. Grant that Mr* Webster Is all that his friends claim for Him in the way of talents and abilities; alill other men before hini have had tome share of , natural end, acquired powers which they found could .be very well devoted to the I Interests ofthe department; We venture to suggest that the .condition of things at Woshingloh, would not suffer by a 111110 more attention from the great "expounder." Another objection to his recent course is the precedent it Is establishing. If Mr. Webster may absent himself two or three months of the.year to attend barbecues, dinners, conventions, legislatures and other like gatherings now, wo do not’see why' ho might not with equal, propriety make a lour ofall the thlriy-ono stales during a presidential campaign, and prostitute bis high • office, and influence to the basest parly purposes. His successor, availing Hitm self of such on example, might devote four months to electioneering labors, anotherwould improve on him again, until in a few years the whole design of cabinet offices would he perverted end even defeated. Who does not see llio obusos to which this course will necessarily ,lead 7 But llio worst feature con nected with those .speeches of Mr. Webster, is their gradual perversion of facts, HU remarks make him the hero of .the whole Union movement. Tbislsnot tho lad. Mr, Webtlcr countenanced the movement, hat ha did not originate, conduct or complete it. It would have succeeded without him. It would have succeeded oVeh ogainsi his opposition had ho chosen to oppose It. ' It was.started and concluded by other men, and Mr. Webster .knows, itr Hence we con not- but protest against his. efforts to bring htmscl'f forward as llio solitary Ajax of the Union, while scores of hthor gentlemen, his equals In patriotism and devotion to the conslilutioo, ere passed by as though they were dead, and forgotten. Docs any one doubt .this? If so, we ask him to try and recol lect how long it is since lie Inst saw tho name or any loading Whig or Democrat connected with tho last Congress, in tho newspapers. 110 will bo sur prised to find that Mr. Webster has filled nil eyes, and unless a cessation of the conduct referred to hap. pen soon, in a few months hcnco there will be nobody but .Mr. Webster in ibis groat coundy. Though spprised of our prospects, we can not join moreover in Mr. Webster’s wailings over.the present statu of things. There is far less danger to tho con. fcdcracy than ho would have us believe. >Tl>e lasi we heard of the Union it was doing well—tho phy sicians pronounced it convalescent—end by the time Mr. Webster gets back to Washington and opens up his offices, ho will discover that nullification and I fanaticism have shrunk to a shadow which will not soon require." the aid of his poor services" to destroy.

After “ dilating in an-eloquent and fertile style,” on the resources of Ponnsylvania'and Vho glories of the protective policy (which last has'boon treated, eays tho governor, as though no recommendation of U had been madoj) hie Excellency utters all at once another startling proposition: “During the former canvass / said I toes in favor of Unititrrsl education Gentle reader, was not that a heroic act? Ought not Gov.

About Ibis time tho Governor, having found him self fairly in tho spirit of the meeting,-and released from the.seriousness which up to tbettime had op pressed him, began to indulge in a little humor.

Since then vve have eoCn the ground*iothoftfae pros, ccuil'on.ifnd the defence, os tel lorlh by counsel; and |wo fubjoin.a condentcd sfnop*is of tho Complaint and a newer. The Complaint —I. Prior to Judo 8. 1844, there existed la the United. Slates a voluntary association known as the Methodist Episcopal Church, not in* coiporsled,consisting of 4828 preachers, and a mem. bership of 1,109,960. 3. Of this association, tiio governmental and die*, ciplioary bodies wero the General Conference, the annual conferences, the bishops, travelling minis* iers, &c. 3. That (i>o ownership of slaves by tho ministry of the church, created disputes ond want of harmony in tho different geographical positions of the church, until (he relations of the different parts. Became un pleasant and violently disputatious. 4. At a General,Conference held in N.'‘York, June 8,1844, resolutions were passed by a ’majority of three-fourths,dividing tho church; and.the General Conference had power to pass suoh resolutions. 5. A convention of delegatee from the elave*hqld» ing conferences met at Louisville, Ky., May Ist, 1845, and declared the Jurisdiction of the Genera) Conference of tho M. Episcopal Church over them dissolved. G. TheNorlhcrn'DUhopa met at New York, July 2, 1845, and passed resolutions, approving of the action of tho Conference above, and regarding It as binding upon thoir administration. ■ 7. And thus tho M. E. Church became'divided Into two separate organizations—and that llho Church South became entitled to its proportion of tho prop* erty and funds; ond that oven a change of the Glh restriction rulo, if necessary, was secured in the Annua) Conferences. 8, Tho agents of tho Book concern In New York paid in 1845, to the Church South her share of the proceeds, but refusodto do so sinco. The Answer. —l, The differences .referred to, grew out of the voluntary connection by a Bishop with slavery—that the General. Conference never would , permit the election of a slaveholder to that office—and that finding in 1844 Bishop Andrew so connected, the General Conference passed the famous resolution requesting him to resign, until ho could free himself from (ho impediment* S. Thai the passage of this resolution by*tho ma. jorlty should hove produced upon the southern dole* gates, tubmiscion instead of secession ; for by tho Discipline ‘'a Bishop is amenable to.the General Conference who have power tq expel him for improper conduct if they see necessary,” 3. Tho plan of separation, whether constitutional or otherwise, hayiqg fsfled to be ratified by the an* nual conferences, has always been null and void. 4. Wherefore tho movement of the M. E. Church South was a secession proper, by virtue of the acts of Individual members and ministers and bishops, who have thus renounced thoir rights end privileges under tho government of tho Methodist /Episcopal Church In the United States. 6. Moreover, the plan of separation was violated by the Southern Church in sending and appointing ministers with Northern conferences; astoCinoln-, nsll ln the Ohio Conference, and'Northampton co. Va. In the Philadelphia Conforcnco. 6. It Is dented that the Northern agent* paid part of the proceeds In 1643 to lbs new Church. It was money that had accrued prior to lls organisation.

We had intended noticing the arrival of (hose visitors—but the subjoined communication from a friend.meets the case so fully, that we prefer its in* sertionto any thing .we could produce upbn the sub. jccis— For the Volunteer. Mr; Editor—The seventeen year locusts havoap- peered again, and are making the woods and gardens vocal with their music. I venture to offer a remark or two concerning them, which you may. publish or reject at your discretion. .There is something remarkable in (heir period, icily. I weil remember the.last lime they were with us, in 1834; beyond that my, recollection docs- not extend, though the observation of ages goes to con firm tho fact. From the SOih to the 25th of May in the year of their appearance they are engaged in changing their, sphere,and condition. When they rise but of the ground, they present a diflgusllng.form as unlike tho fulure beautlful.insccl os: possible, though Tally adapted to their former 10. cation. They'Vise In the evening upon a blade of grass, a post,Tree or other object, to various heights, and then attach themselves firmly, to it by their feet. Now begins tho interesting process of sloughing, or coming out of the shell, I have watched them at this*'point with the highest interest; and after all lhal > I could see, am convinced that, as in Iho'birlh of i animals, the subject of.tho operation is unconscious L of the change that is going on. At a weak place in ) back a rupture is made, and tho insect grows out,— This growth generally occupies about an hour, at . the close of which tho locust* white and sod* and I apparently lifeless begins to exert himself. Grasp . ing the old shell, he draws himself upon it, and re mains there until his wings have unfolded themselves land his whole framo hardened so as to suit.the cir cumstances of his future ©rial life. This in-favor able weather lakes place daring (he night, so that by sun rise tho insect'has passed through the stages of birth, infancy, youth and maturity. Should it prove rainy or cold, myriads of thorn ■ perish in the transition stale. Thisyoar the atmosphere wosmbst lidppUy suited lo their comfort Their note has some slight resemblance to the sound of the word Pharaoh— prolonged,and conlrib. ulos to his infamous immortality; though the simi larity is more fanciful than real. It is amusing to hear people talk of their doslruol. iyencss, They are perfectly harmless to vegetation. In this respect they boar no relation to the genuine locust, (our insect is the cicada ,) the scourge'of Asia and South Eastern Europe. There the locusts ap pear in such numbers as lodarkcn the sun, and con sume every living plant or leaf: and when they die their bodies lie in”vast banks creating an intolerable odor and resulting in pestilence. ‘ Alter our cicada has sang for us about forty days, it deposits* Us eggs in tho woody part ofa soft twig In a week or two the twig dies, and falling to* the ground, decays, leaving the eggs to enter, the earth for arj incubation ofsovontccn years; and thus 44 one generation goelh and another comotb.” Oho of the ancient authorasnys that the female locusts aro voiceless, and congratulates the lords upon having HlerU toioes;— " Those happier beings pass their lives Above the dread of scolding wives.*' Every scholar has scon Anacreon's beautiful Greek ode to the cicada. I offer it to your readers through the translation of the Poet Moore. " O thou, of all creation blest, Sweet insect, that delight's* to rest Upon the wild wood's leafy tops - To drink-(he dew that morning drops, And chirp thy song with such a glee, That happiest kings may envy thee/ Whatever decks the velvet field, Whale'er the circling seasons yield, . Whatcver bud*, whatever blows, • For thee it buds, fur thee it blows. •. . Nor art thou yet the pojsantVjfoxr, To him thy fritndty notes aro dear, 'For (Aou srl mtttf aeWotin dewf And slid when summer's flowery hue Bogins to paint the bloftmy plain, Wo hear thy sweet prophetic strain. The*Mu*os lova-thy shrilly tone Apollo: colls the all his owp ; 'Twas ho who gave that voice to thee 'Tis ho Uni tunes (hy minstrelsy. Unworn by age's dim decline, Tho fadeless blooms of youth aro thine ; * Melodious insect, child of earth, . In wisdom mirthful, wise in mirth; Exempt from every weak decay , That withers vulgar frames away With not e drop ofblood to slain ' Tho current a/ thy purer vein. So blest an ago is passed by thee -Thou seem'st—a little deity!” Moore has considerably expanded tho three lines of tho text—though poetic license of course permit tod iU . It would bo difficult to render into English poetry, tho term-—anaimotarke—fiosh-and-bloodloss ono. PinUtYMNOB. Misery in Ireland.— The reports of parish priests from the counties of Clare and Mayo/ in Ireland, give the most melancholy accounts ofthe misery that still prevails among (he poorer classes. Instances oflndividual suffering are mentioned,of the most touching character* Poor widows with largo and weak families, who have been evicted from their little plots of ground, suffer most; They live in huts into which, they must crawl on all fours, and there they die freezing and famine stricken* One of the Priests gives tho following particulars: A Mrs. Mealy, an occupant of a hut, diod'of sheer want; and a poor young man of the name of Thomas Hyland,died of dysentery and famine; and yesterday I saw a poor man, named James Boohan, in (he hut, who has a wife and foilr.or five children, i have been told that he attempted to crawl to my lodgings, a distance of about four miles, In order that! might hearhimineonfession, ond prepare him for death, as he apprehended he should not live long, through hunger. On his way In aearoh of, me no fell; Uirough languor and debility, throe or four.times;' his hands and knees wore badly cut and bruised. Though forty years of age, tie Is not the elzo of a boy of fourteen, so emaciated and shriveled has ho become. And this, .says tho other, notwithstanding tho existence of what is called a Poor Law. A Flirtation.— Tho Manchester Democrat re lates thu following incident, in which ono of our countrymen figured: A young American gentleman, (a Mr. P—, who is visiting Paris with (he " old folks,”) went to a masked ball lo joc the elephant, and to have some fun. His groat desire was to meet an angel of the fair sox. lie first looked all around, waiting to make a decision the moment he should find a fine waist and smalt feet. These heeutles he discovered in adominioof small : figure who took Ills arm and began to intrigue with him. The lady told him hie name, tho city of tho United States from which ho was, and after all those preliminaries, isho related to him many flirting ox* oursions whloh ho had made last year at Saratoga end'Ncwport. All thoso things whispered In good English, wore Very puzzling to Mr. P,, and iii order to find out who was his fair companion, ho Invited her to supper In a private, cabinet. The iady first refused, but after some time she consented and the couple started In a carriage for (ho well known res* lurant of Vacholto, where all tho Americans lake tholr meals.
