This work contains twelve new songs by the h. et song
writer England ever produced. Tire airs, all of which are
goo), ond extremely beautiful, are selected from various
s«ros, with the exception of one by Bishop, and another
In Mrs. Robert Arkwright. The volume is farther cn
riched by a set of very spirited drawings in illustration of
tic liaite'ls. We have much pleasure in extracting seve
ral of the songs, which, like every thing that comes from
Moore’s pen, must be interesting to our readers. We be

If the King of England should die, Ills
brother, William Henry, Dube of C’ia
rcncc, will sncceed him. George was
born Auw. 13,1763. Os the Duke of Cla
rence, we find the following biography
in vol. 111. of Dr. Laeber’s Encyclopedia
Americana;, just issued from the press of
Messrs. Carey & Lea, Philadelphia.—
The heir presumptive after the Duke of
Clarence, is the Princess Alcxandrinn
Victoria, born May 31, 1818, daughter of
the late Duke of Kent. —Daily Adv.
Clarence, Duke of, William Henry,
Prince of England, second brother of
King George iV, born Aug. 21, 1765, was
educated for the Navy, He passed through
all the ranks, hut received no command,
in the JH onso of Lords, he constantly op
posed the war policy of the Minister.—
Humanity is indebted to him for his ex
ertions for the abolition of the slave trade.
His uniting witli the opposition contribu
ted to the overthrow of Pit and Adding
ton, but he still lived on the best terms
with the royal family. He was passion
ately attached to the celebrated actress
Mrs. Jordan, with whom he was connect
ed many years, and had several children
by her. She died at Bordeaux in 1818.
The Duke of Clarence conducted Louis
XVIII to the cofist of France in 1814.
lie married the Princess Adelaide, of
Saxe Meiniugen, July 11, 1818, and wus
desirous of fixing his residence thence
forth at Osnabruck. He lives now with
his wife in London. In 1837, under Can
nitigs administration, the Duke of Cla
rence was appointed Lord High Admiral
of England, bathe retired from that oliice
soon after tlte Duke of Wellington hat!
been made Premier.
FROM THE UNITED STATES TEX.F.GR AT’H.
We lay before our readers the Light
house bill: the following synopsis of which
will show the combination of interests
hrougiitto hear in its favor. No oneenn
be Ignorant ol* tin; crtbtT uiili.li Its rrj^o
tion will produce on the minds of those
who, believing that the General Govern
ment possesses the power, were solicitous
for its passage. No one can mistake the
feelings of gratification with which the
opponents of the President, who believe
that it will diminish his popularity, will
hail his veto of this hill. Those who an
ticipate a loss of popularity to Gen. Jack
son, first assume that the people have ap
proved the principles involved in the bill.
Is this true? What are those principles?
The synopsis shows that the bill njt-
Sropriates 581,000 dollars. Os this sum
80 dollars were to be expended in im
provements in Vermont, whilst there
was to have been expended, for similar
purposes, the sum of 58,815 dollars In
New-York, 24,155 dollars in Massachu
setts, and 886,•K in Maryland. Could
any tiling inorQPonclusively show the
inequniity of the system? Whose money
was appropriated by this bill? Did it
not belong to the whole people? How did
it come into the Treasury? Was it not
paid in by all in proportion to the mer
chandise which they used, upon which
atax had been levied atthe’custoiu-house?
Did not our resolution spring from*a
tax if two pence per pound upon tea, and
are vve not now paying a a annual lax of
one million per annum upon that article
alone? Is not the whole amount of the
money in the Treasury first derived from
the pockets of the people; If the people
do not puy it, who docs pay it? If then
tlie motley is first levied upon the people
equally, is it right and just (hat it should
be distributed back again among them
unequally.
These remarks are intended to rail the
attention of the intelligent tax paying
people of this counlty to the practical
operation of tlie system-, which collects
money from the pockets of ah for the pur
pose of putting it back into the pockets
of the few. General Jacksonls the friend
of internal improvements, hut lie is oppos
ed to intrigue, bargain, and logrolling.*-
Sc-me of ids friends in Congress labored
to separate the light houses front the ap
propriations for surveys A improvements:
the interests united in fheir favor retained
the appropriutions which the President
belio veil to be mi constitution a I and de
feated the bill. Had the light-houses
alone been presented for Ids consideration
we have no doubt the act would have re
ceived his sanction. As it is, the failure
must be attributed to the proper cause.—
It cannot fail to bring the question which
it involve®! fairly before the people, who
arc the ultimate arbiters of the law nnd
of the Constitution. That the President
has placed his reputation upon the issue,
is asserted by his enemies; to mnintnin
bis principles and preserve his populari
ty is the duty of his friends.

and ull persons attempting to enforce the
same, subjected to punishment therefor.
And whereas by the said act, it is fdso
made highly penal to prevent, or attempt
to prevent any Indian residing within said
territory from emigrating therefrom, or
to use the means therein described to
prevent a cession of said territory for the
use of this State. And whereas, said
Cherokee Indians have for some time
past been attempting to establish a Go
vernment independent of the authority
of this State, and have since the passage
of said recited act, violated the rights ol
the citizens of this Stale under highly ug
gravttling circomstunccs, under pretence
of executing the legal orders of the prin
cipal chiefs of said tribe.
And whereas, the rulers and bond met:
of said tribe, have continued since the
passage of said uet, to excite the Indians
under their influence against submissior
to the operation of the laws of this Wlute
and have attempted to prevent the en
fbroemcnl of the same by appealing tc
the Congress of the United Wtutes to in
terpose the powers of tho Union to pro
tect them therefrom, and having I»y vari
ous other acts evinced n spirit of deter
mined hostility against the government
of this State—No*/, therefore, that tin
sovereign autlfority of this Stute over nl
the persons within its limits, mny be dulj
acknowledged and respected, and the
rights of its citizens preserved, and thu
Die Indian people occupying its territorj
under the protection of its laws, may b<
relieved from the oppression to whiel
they have been hitherto subjected by th<
laws and customs of their tribe, or tin
arbitrary power of their Chiefs, I havt
thought proper to issue this my Procla
mat ion, givingnotice to all persons, thn:
mid recited act is now in force, nnd al
Indians and others residing within sair
territory or elsewhere, are warned not
to violate itsennetments; and every olileet
civil and military is hereby required, uml
every patriotic citizen of the Wtnte urged
to aid in the enforcement thereof; and es
pecially in causing the penalties for its
violation to be certainly inflicted upon
each nnd every Chief, Head-man or
other Cherokee Indian, or any other per
son residing in said territory, who shall
exercise, or attempt to exercise any au
thority within said territo-y, under pre
tence or by virtue of any Cherokee law,
ordinance, order, or regulation whatso
ever, or who shall by virtue of any such
pretended authority prevent, or attempt
to prevent any Indian from emigrating
from said territory, or enrolling himself
for t|mt purpose, or who shall in like man
ner punish or molest either the person or
firopeny, or abridge the rights or privf
eges on account of his or her enrolling
as on emigrant or Intending to emigrate,
f or '' I'° s boll by virtue of nny such pre

ter any Indian, Head-man, Chief or War

; °r persons so residing from meeting in
council or treaty, any commissioner or

- sunn'll until the lirst day of June Inst post,

) ly belonged to every other citizen of the
1 State, and in violation of the rights ofllu'
3 State, and to the injury of its public re
; sources—And whereas the absence of le

-1 ist among said persons, too disorderly
