This was BraB&’sSkjfcg»%^^'hiscS^te®Sfe«J*J. < i-i- no other than the art of painting in oil.: At this ; period painters usually laid on their colors by , SBS§&' , Tfi*{ } - - means of various glutinous substances, and this, node, while it rendered paintings extremely - l»ble to injury from heat and damp, very mueh diminished the brilliancy of the coloring. The invention of painting in oil has been disputed by po many" that it would.bo : difficult now to deter-. 4 mine who is best entitled to tho honor. Tho * . probability is, that like many other inventions which were ihe offspring of necessity, it was discovered by many artists at nearly the same * "period when tho gradual advancement of the art "KrayS »A , »Vrr < i;4-i 4 > 1 ? i? '.~ ? y- _ * lnereased demand for fine piotures had called forth the talent of painting in every part of Italy. It is well known however, that Do -" menico Yeneziana was one of the first who cm ■ --ployed oil painting ; and to this ho was indebted for the great reputation which he so rapidly ?4g " aoqnired. Carefully did he now instruct Andrea ?T £ fii* . in the principles of that art which had been al ’ .'most exclusively his own, and by moßt unwearied ••.••.•«• " dßigenoe, Amhfta soon mastered its difficulties. * Bat in his heart tho spirit of rivalry could not erisfc Envy, base envy, was the only feeling As which he was capable of cherishing, and the J^3®{& , ffifc!fci«JSaK«l , ol . . ffisliko whioh Domenico’s superiority had long daw inspired him, was gradually ripening into c^2^^|^^ls , WslsS.‘so * deep and deadly hatred. • They had nearly finished the decorations of . ' the obnrehdaring the progress of Andrea’s in- ‘ rtnwtion in the new manner of painting, and a^gjggafe's-as only one picture remained to be completed, it was agreed that each should paint a portion SVA s 5 »s? of it. But this work was. destined to remain nn finished. ' One day as Andrea stood contemplating one m!hm ®* to earliest paintings in the church, and ox tilting in his improvement as ho compared it With those he long since executed under the di* 1 ’ rection of Domenico, two of the most celebrated - connoisseurs in Florence entered. Not observing the, painter, they commenced making remarks ' upon the pictures, and after praising the pro auctions of Domenico’s pencil, proceeded to ridi • ' rule without mercy the early printings of An* to*. Thepporartist, concealing himselfbehind a sSSy&tSI column, anxiously waited till they should approph - the latter efforts of his art notdonbting that then ' ' v gßlig9glfiMa WmMmSm *& ‘S£ffi jyZt/faaaSmm iIMMi IiMSM. ■- **'■ spfii Sfelllf -hewould ho gratified by their praises ; but what ; were his feelings when,after a careless glance athls labors,' they merely remarked, that An drea's style was much improved, bst that be must ever remain in. the Bhado while hie works . - were, placed beside those of Domenico. Fixed . - as a statue, Andrea remained in the very spot where he had first placed himself,' until the un « eonsdouß critics quitted the church, then rush ing homeand locking himself in hiß apartment, rhe gave.way to all the agonies of envy and dis . appointment. The gentleness of Domenico's character,' the purity of his life the generous friendship which ho had- shown him) nil were ■ powerless to cheek the tide of passion in An drea’s bosom. The demon-like malice of his wvii nature was aroused; he thought of Domen ico not 08 a friend who had shared with him the master Beoret of his art, hut os the hated object . ? who stood between himself and fortune. - ■There is no tempest so fearful as. the tempest of passion; no whirlwind so devastating as the .whirlwind of evil thoughts. . Hour after hour . .did Andrea sit brooding over bis dark and half-' - imagined scheme of guilt, unoonseions ; of the . lapse of time,: whoa the voioe of Domenico, sum-- moning him to his ttsnnl evening. Walk, aroused him. He hastily answered that he was engaged in designing and could not be disturbed. Dome nico, accustomed to the wayward moods of his .friend, hade him good night and departed. ■ As-the sound of Domenico's footsteps struck upon his ear, Andrea arose, and throwing open the window, looked out upon thetranquil beau ty of the summer evening landscape. The fresh hreese played about his burning tomples, and '.opening his vest as if to cool, the fire that was Waging in his bosom, ho stood leaning agmnßt -the easement until ho suddenly perceived Doiuen ,ieo,. With his lute in his hand, slowly taking the .way tow romantic valley, at a short distance.— -The fiendish spirit which had gained possession .'of Andrew immediately suggested a horrible , ’plan. ■ Snatching up a heavy leaden weight which lay in bis-apwtment,aud stealing with am aiAassin’n step after his unconscious friend, he Wagoned himself behind a clump of low trees in a natfoW part of the path through which, he ■ knew Domenico would return. .He had notwait «d long when he heard the sound of Domenico’s Into. He urns singing the vesper hymn. The %osi<r, mellowed by the clear evening air, came upon the ear of the miserable Andres like angel : sunk as he listened to the storing words Of the hymn. - , - ~ ‘-Mother of God I, '.

There was no timofpr. deliberation—Domenico wasrapldly opproaebipg —one step more and ho would ho beyondl his. reach.-, Raising tho hoary. xnasß of s lead Wit nail the strength of his muscular arm, .. at onoe the Into and tho abreast, of.his .unhappy friend. Then hastily giving him-a violent. How on tho head, ho ran with all his Bpeod to his own ; apnrtnrent, appeared deeply engaged in .finishing a chalk drawing which lay on his,table. A brief interval of tinre elapsed, when a servant burst into tho room with the tidings of the dreadful event which had befallen Domenico. Feigning the utmost grief, Andrea hastened to the Bpot. There, breaking out into the most violent lamen tations, he threwhimself on tho • earth beside the body of his friend, and the murdered Dom enico breathed his last sigh - upon the bosom of: bis assassin. Years passed on. Not a breath of suspicion had ever tarnißhed the name ef Andrea dal Cas tagno;• but from the hour when the blood of Domenico. stained ;his hand, bis pencil lost its power. He was in possession of the secret for which he had periled his soul, hut it was of no use to him. The merest dauber that ever at tempted the art could excel him. The weight of blood was on his spirit—his mind was benumbed, his hand palsied, and after a life rendered mis erable by his restless and envious passions, he died, confessing on his death bed that ,he waß the murderer of Domenico Venoziana. But even in his latest hour no remorse was mingled with his confession. - He died as he had lived, harden ed and vindictive to the last, and by a singular fortune, his body was interred in. the church yard of Santa Maria Nueva, tho very church which he and Domenico had been employed to dcoorate, and beside the very spot where, nearly thirty years beforo, tho viotim of his perfidy, had found repose.

For a long time past, they have been extremely indefinite; and have not made the slightest “fass” at all on the subject. : Have they discovered that “fass and and feathers” ora inimical,, and that they can “feather their nests” in a more conve nient tvny than making a.“fasa'' about Scott! . Wehave no doabt they heard from Fillmore, and are obeying ordersfrom head quarters, and have a fine sight drawn on a great deal of pap—in the distance. They do not exactly worship the as piring Accident that now roles, but they daro not say a word against his nomination, or a word in favor of Scott, until tho question is deci ded by the political butohers who will assemble in the next Whig Slaughter House. We believo it was'Henty Clay, the father of the whig party, who, on some occasion, made tbiß remark, “hea vens, how ho nicks ’em !” and ho Was very much astonished to find a great number of his friends, besides himself, bobbed in a most essential man ner, byaome democrat. Oortwocotemporories, having the experience of Clay before their eyes, are not disposed to be “nicked” in a snmmary manner, before tho proper time. They were mod when they developed themselvceforSoOtt, bat, lat terly, they appear disposed to mix a little method with their madness, and they now hold off, await ing the highest bid. - We are apprehensive that they will be disap pointed. Fillmore won’t hid in a direot manner cannot bid except in a very hasty ner, and the reward will be very Blow in and they, very wisely, think that they hod better not commit themselves too for before they find out where they shall go, and who they must go for. The question is not an optional one with them; they must support the man designated by the Slaughter House, whether they like him or not, and having received an indication that they were rather hasty in dealaring for Scott, they ore now holding book to nwaitthe course of events.. The Gocrffc,’ however, has nettheprndenoe of its colleagues.. It once declared'that it wonld “fight on fight over;” and havingsaidso the editor appears to; bo determined to stick to it,— He would bo willing to make a handsome pres ent to any eharitablo - institution that conld-get him oat of the scrape he has ran himself into, in committing himself for Soott, but they can’t do lt, and he sticks to the position he took in a moment of rashness with a bravery that would do credit to even Scott himself. He may win, but we think it doubtful, and we are apprehen sive that Mb competitors will; get ahead of him .in the race for available patronage; ’ It does not matter much to ns, which of them beats in tMs struggle for pablic plunder; but wo have a right to remark upon it, and do so in a friendly man ner, and at the Bame time take the liberty of as suring them that their potioy will not succeed.— After the next Presidential election,.:, the role of whiggery will boo matter of history, ondonly remarkable in the annals of our country- for the; Galphanisma and follies committed under its rule.: After that event the demoernoy will take charge of affairs, and ondoavor to restore the country ;to : the healthful condition .they, have al ways-kept it in when they had ' the management of affairs. - • .We feel perfectly, happy on the enbjeot of tho next Presidential election. : Oar. candidate will be eleoted by nn -old Jocksonmajority, and, with tMs pleasant prospeot before us, wo can,of course, ■ afford to sympathize with, our dissenting brethren,, and ntterconscding words to ;them -in anticipa tion of the -trftralationß-that will ehortiy overtake; them.

Scott for Presi dent! !! This iB about the meanest kind of pro scription wc have over heard of. The Whigs, when out of office, have made a great many hypo critical professions on this subject—they have deolared that they were opposed to “proscription for opinions’ sakeand that if the people would intrust them with power, “ proscription would be proscribed.” But their aots havebe lied all their professions. The most proscrip tivo administrations, wc have ever bad, whe ther State or national wero Whig administrations. We have no objections to an administrations op pointing its own friends to office—-indeed we consider it right to do so, as there should al ways be the best personal and political feeling and confidential relations existing between the heads and subordinates in every department .of the government. But the whigs, in order to obtain power, have bad the unblushingimpu doncetatell tho voters of the country that they (innooent souls I) woulcLpnt on end to “proscrip tion!” Wo presume/ by tills time, people un derstand whiggery pretty well. Mr. Pickwick Hurd, of the Washington Commonwealth, tells n horrible story about the awful condition of the Plank Head running &om thiß city towards that ancient borough. Ho says: “The truth is, that in many places upon this famous road, not only has one end of the plank settled to an angle of about 45 degrees, resembling in position and appearanoo, the roof of an unshingled bouse, but tho length of the planks themselves, appears to havo been regu lated by a prinoiplo of such extreme economy, that it is an almost utter impossibility to prevent an ordinary team wagon frommuning off a do zen times daring a single trip across it.” Every body knows that Hurd is a great wag, and mast crack a joko at the expense of some body, otherwise ho would become as cross-grain ed as a rusty old saw. Wo believe they have a kind of Maine Liquor Law in operation in Wash ington county, and whenever Hard gets oat of his own bailiwick, he. commits some indiscre tions which are very mortifying to his friends. Wo have no donbt bnt that be finds it a very difficult matter in returning borne from Pitts burgh. to navigate his horse on the traok of the Plank Hoad, as we presume ho imagines the planks nro making all sorts of angles, purposely to annoy him! Poor Hard! wo are sorry that all the good advioo we have given him has been disregarded 1 He sine with his eyes open! . : APRIL 19.

Tho President stotes that thirtcon treaties have been formed with the Oregon Indians, and that, with one ex ception, they all bear tbe signature of Mr. Spal ding himself, who was associated with tho su. perintendent in their negotiation; and in no one of the whole number is there any provision whatever that gives the slightest semblance of truth to Mr. Spalding’e statement.

It appears that on Saturday night last, after her performance at the Howard Athensenm, Lola re turned to Iho Tremont Houso, and discovered that she had lost a bracelet—the second that she has had the misfortune to lose since her arrival in thiß country. She returned to the theatre 'about the close of Mad. Margusitte'e concert, and while soarotung for tho missing jewol, Par sons entered the -place, and commenced turning off the. gas lights. She requested him to desist; he refused, when Bhe walking up to him slapped him in the face, and it is said with the aid of a boy, ejected him from the room.

The bants of the canal, at several points, are destroyed. Some ; seven or eight bridges, at different places across Cold-run, havo been washod away. And whole miles of fence, along'the valley through which the water foroed its way, are no longer visible. The loss to the county,: : by the destruction of bridges, is great, butthe loss to individuals is, undoubtedly, much greater."

In these there Is nothing corrupting or meritricioua; but all'is healthful and improving. Yet'this love of nature is; strangely neglected. Why is-it thatso mohy .ineh commit to memory: tim common-places of art, and profess to admire •tPiew equate feet of canvass in parlor or in gal lery, wbtie they are impassive to all the garni ture which Go&hftogs around the horizon; every day; and which, os a token of his exhaustiess fullness, he removes and renews with every pas singhour ? It is.hard to- sympathize, even with those of the more beautiful sex, who go into rap tures overa eanrise painted by human band, but who never bow ab originals But where a love of natural beauty has been cultivated, all nature becomes a stupendous gallery, as much superior in. form andin coloring tothechoicestcolleotions of human art; as the heavens are broader or loftier than the- Louvro. or the Vatican. The : beauties of the earth andtheshy, ofthe changing seasons, and of day and night, cannot be mono polized by one street in acity, or by one building 1 in a street; they cannot be closed against thoso who have not a golden paSßport for admission,' but they are free and open to whomsoever may have an eye and an imagination that have been • first taught to enjoy them.
