ththret be another piriri.n towards the "If o
Silence." The editor of the Gazette gives out that
after be shall have satisfactorily adjusted this hula
Presidential matter, he will quit the political for the
Scientific field; he will then'have ileached the topmost
tound of the political ladder, and have wreathed his
brows with the rely greenest laurels that can be gath
ered in the service of that very green political party,
whose servant he now is. If we may judge from the
commotion which this learned Theban has produced
in theimilitical world, the'agitation he Will cause in the
natural World, whin Ito wonders shall have become
theobject of hii sagacious investigationi, will tits fear
ful in the extreme.. Stand back, ye seen who now.
occupy the highest places of Science, and let Mr.
Whirrs have a fair field. Pet out your Drummond
light, Dr. LAM:OI4ER, and stop the shining of your
miniature moons—you are but .a , farthing rusbligbt
yourself, when compared with the stupendous intellect
that now comes to grapple with the mysteries of ere'
titian. Paek up your specimens, Mr. SILLIIIAN. and
go lenture to the Hottentots; your services are not re
quired"; we shall have the undiscovernble secrets of
the earth laid before us each morning in the columns
of the Gazette. GU hire yourself. Mr, LTILLL, to some
contractor fur cellars, you ere no longer fit to lay bare
the structure of the everlas.ing hills—cease to *pester
the people with your smouoting—the Gazette will
contain every thing worth knowing about the old form
ations of the earth and all pertaining to it. Stop your
logging telegraph, Mr. Moen; you and your invention
will be left immeasurably in the rear by the brilliant
and startling itivenrinns for conveying information,
which every day's Gazette will futnish.
It is pleasing to mention that no phenomenon in
the sky above or the earth beneath has occurred since
this important announcement. The sun shines - out
as formerly—the stars twinkle as usual, unconscious
of tl e new and penetrating searcher about to unveil
their secrets—planets keep their course—the tides
ebb end flow as formerly, and there has not been any
new volcano that we have heard of—the hidden depths
of Earth have not been disturbed..

not be taken too'suddenly with this startling news.
But we cannot 'hear to think of the fits of the pigmy
philosophers of 'his era, when the Casette and its
editor shall have become devoted to science.
MR. MIL/Ale! LETTEIL—.NATIVC AMIKRICASISII.
—We publish this morning the letter of MR. ANDREW
MILLYA, of Philadelphia, giving his reasons for re
rasing to join the "Native party." The sentiments are
such t are entertained by every enlightened and true
hearted American, and they will be approved by all
who properly understand the principles of our govern
ment. and desire to +en then preserved, untainted by
the religious proscription or political tyranny that op
press the people of the old world.
, A NATIONAL Batt —We yesterday quoted from a
speech of . Mr CLAY, delivered ILI Charleston, S.
in which he said:
"I contend that it is nereseary to charter a National
Bank to regulate and control the monetary sytlem,
and kee, , it from explosion and mischief—that a Na
tional Bank is mace-snry to secure n national currency,
which is as necessary to a nation as national laws."
Now let no one animate that this is extracted from
an old speech of the federal candidate for the Presi
dency. It was uttered about two mo n ths ay. i n an
electioneering hatatigue to his - friends in Clrar!eston.
There can be no doubt that Mr Ct.av made use of , it
to add strength to his chances for the Prosid.ney, and
that he regards the chartering of a Bank as the great
est object, next to his own individual advancement, fur
which, he seeks the Presidential office.
