Reception ot Henry Clay.
On '•-’ttiHay ' ast Charleston was hojtored by
the expected ri-it us Mr. Clay; and site gave
him a warm and enthusiastic welcome—a recep
tion marked by the highest demonstrations ot
respect and homage, and in every' way worthy
of her ancient fame for h ispiiality and kind
n6At 2 o’clock, P. M., the firing ofeignal guns,
by a detachment ol Captain Wagner’s German
Attillery, announced the approach and arrival
at the upper Depository of the illustrious guest,
to the concourse of citizens assembled in the
vicinity to witness and htiil the grateful event.—
The firing at the Depository was answered by a
detachment from Capt. Gyles’ Marion Artillery,
stationed at the Battery. The car containing
Mr. Clay, accompanied by Colonel Preston
and Col. Hampton, and the Charleston Com
mittee, which conducted Mr. Clay from Colum
bia, detached from the general train, proceeded
to the next cross street below, and titere Mr.
Clay was received and welcomed by the Com
mittee ot Arrangements, amid loud and joyous
huzzas, which made the welkin ring. A large
and imposing procession was then formed, under
the direction of the Marshals of the day, to con
duct the honored guest to the city. At the.head
of the procession was a schooner rigged boat,
manned by sailors, and drawn on a car, with
a banner bearing the inscription— -‘ Henry
Clay, the advocate of Sailors’ Rights —follow
ed by a body of seamen, under the commar d ot
Captains Hunt and Perry', marching to the en- ■
livening notes of a fine band of music. Next
came a numerous cava'cade, composed oi the
Committee of Arrangements and other eques
trians. Then followed, in an elecant landau,
drawn by four fine horses, Henry' Clay, “the
observed ot all observers,” accompanied by Dr.
Francis Y. Porcher—and in other carriages,
Cols. Preston and Hampton, Dr. Wm. Read,
the Hon. Henry Middleton, and J. L. Petigru,
Esq. An immense line of carriages succeeded,
containing the Committee ot Reception and
other citizens, forming one of the largest
processions we have ever seen in Charleston.
Th - procession moved along King street —
through the business portion of which it passed
under various tasteful arches, some of them
composed of evergreens and flowers, thrown a
cross the street, and containing emblematic
devices and appropriate insciptions, such as
“Welcome to Henrv Clay,” “Welcome,
thrice Welcome, bright Star of the West”—
down to Broad street; and thence along Broad
to Meeting-street, and up Meeting-street to the
Theatre. During the whole course of the
procession the side walks were thronged with
spectators, and the windows and balconies of
the adjacent houses were crowded and graced
by the lovely daughters of the city, who occa
sionly showered a flowery' as well as a smiling
welcome on the illustrious stranger. At in
tervals during the progress, loud shouts of wel
come filled the air; and they were repeated over
and over again, with deafening effect, on the
arrival at the Theatre.
On reaching the Theatre, Mr. Clay' was con
ducted into the interior of the building, where
the ladies were already assembled in their
appointed seats, and into which the accompany
ing crowd ol citizens rushed with eager anxie
ty, fearful of losing the opportunity (as we are
sorry to say an immense number did) ofhearing
the far famed orator of the West. The specta
cle within the Theatre was a brilliant and
beautiful one—the stage was crowded with the
various Committees—the first and second tiers
of boxes were thronged with ladies, and literally
beamed with loveliness—while the pit and gal
lery and lobbies, were stowed full oi citizens.
Mr. Clay was received on the stage by the
committee of reception, the repeated and en
thusiastic cheers oi the audience hailing his
appearance. When the joyous uproar had sub
sided, the venerable Dr. Wm. Read, one ot the
few surviving officers of the revolution that yet
linger among us to receive the homage ol the
present to the glorious past, addressed Mr. Clay’
as follow’s:
Honored Sir—A fond reverence for the men
of the Revolution, my companions of 1775, who
have almost left me solitary, has moved my fel
low citizens to confer upon me the grateful
privilege of welcoming a worthy son of Ameii
ca to our ancient city. In the name of the liv
ng, I bid you a hearty’ welcome—and lam sure
that if the great and good men who figured in
the Revolution, with whom I moved in concert
—the Middletons, the Gadsdens, the Lowndes,
jhe Pickneys, the Rutledges, the Hugers, and
the gallant Marion, and Moultrie, Sumpter and
Hampton, could add their voices to mine, they
too, would bid you welcome, as an honored sou
of the Republic and an illustrious benetactor of
the now great nation, founded by their toils.—
Most worthy’ were these patriots of all the love
and veneration, which their posterity, who have
deputed me to speak to you, bear them—and it
is as a witness of their labors, then pure love of
country, their anxious hopes find cares and pray
ers, for the perpetuity of their great work, that
for them and their children, I would add to their
welcome, grateful thanks lor all the good you
have done us. I feel, with those who have gone
before me, and more deeply than the youthful
generation around me can feel, the great debt
we all owe you for your patriotic labors in de
fence of the institutions ot the men of ’76, and
that union which was their only hope for the
prosperity of their children. 1 greet you, sir,
as a most faithful son of such sires. You have
been ever true to their lessons, and a long life,
spent in your country’s service, has exhibited a
constant devotion to law, liberty, the Constitu
tion and the Union. You have been ever a
loverot your whole country’ —and the gloomy
days of the Missouri agitation and the Com
prothise tell of that spirit ol concession and
mutual forbearance, so earnestly commended to
his countrymen, in his farewell address, by the
Father of his country.
This is the spirit—these are the services, on
which an old man delights to dwell—and 1 re
joice in the occasion which permits the expres
sion of my heartfelt thanks. Younger men
would glory in celebratingthateloquence which
has reflected so much honor on republican in
stitutions, and graced our legislative halls. And
I could wish that some one of the young men,
your companions in the second war of Inde
pendence—a Calhoun, a Cheves, or your friend,
the lamented Lowndes, could have been here
this day, to have made proper acknowledge
ments to you, in terms sufficiently glowing; for
the great and brilliant part you bore in that gal
lant conflict for your country's honor. But
these are themes not for me.
It will not be out of place, to wish yon a sale
journey throughout your long tour, by land and
by waler, or to Cfish a hope for a prolongation ot
your valuable life; nor is it unreasonable to
hope, when 1 tell you, that the man who stands
before you shouldered his musket for the protec
tion of the first Congress, some years previous
to the period that gave birth to the great states
man 1 address.
Again, fellow-countryman, patriot, and na
tional benefactor, welcome, thrice welcome, to
our hearts and our homes.
To this address Mr. Clay responded in a
speech ot thrilling eloquence’ and great ability,
occupying near tw’o hours in the delivery, and
enthralling the attention of an interested and de
lighted auditory. The great length of this
■peech and the variety and importance of the
subjects it tliscussed, forbid us even the attempt
to report or sketch it ; although we may glance
at several ot its leading points. Although Mr.
Clay was evidently fatigued and oppressed by
his journey, he was yet in fine spirits; ari
sing doubtless from the warmth and eclat of his
reception, aided in no small measure by the
news ot the whig victory in Connecticut, receiv
ed that morning. He seemed in the very best
mood for a speech, and evinced it by the ease
and buoyancy with which he delivered himself,
and in the exquisite touches of humor with
which he occasionally enlivened the weightiet
matters of his discourse—and he gave, for the
first time, to a Charleston audience, a noble
specimen of that gifted eloquence with which
he has so otlen electrified the Senate, or swell
ed the enthusiasm of the popular assembly.
Mr. Clay began with a graceful and happy
allusion to the manner ol his reception—to the
grateful and honorary welcome accord .d him, >
without distinction ot party—and attributed it!
not to any personal merit ot his o« n, < r person- ■
al favor ' v ids him, butt..th . m -it v ito’-y,
and hospitality lor which ou? aucxtit city liaq
been always distinguished. He returned his
thanks to the various committees, to the throng
of citizens, and especially to the assemblage of
fair ladies, who had united to greet him. His
gratification at his reception was greatly en
hanced by the organ selected to express the ge
neral feeling—the venerable and gallant soldier
of the revolution who had just and so eloquently
addressed him, and who had bestowed on him a
meed so far beyond his merits. In relation to
the Missouri question, he had been greatly as
sisted by others in its happy adjustment—and
by none more efficiently than by his petsonal
triend, the lamented William Lowndes, whose
known wisdom, bland and amiable manners,
and spotless virtue did wonders in the work of
conciliation and peace—and he declared that in
the long course of his public service, ot all the
statesmen with whom he had mingled in the
counsels of the country, he had found that illus
trious and departed worthy to be “ the wisest,
the purest, the best.” So, too, in reference to the
Tariff Compromise of 1833, there were others
largely entitled to share in whatever credit it
conferred on its authors; but this he would say,
that on both occasions he was actuated only by
the desire to harmonize and perpetuate our po
litical union, without which our liberties, our
prosperity, and our greatness, would be inevi
tably destroyed. Mr. Clay then alluded to the
occasion and the motives ot his present tour.
He knew that he was accused, by the selfish and
ungenerous, of making an electioneering tour—
but he at once despised the imputation. He
had visited tl <• city ol New Orleans purely on
a matter of business and his return home fur
nished him, he thought,a favorable opportunity,
to visit the tour Southern States of the confede
racy, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and
North Carolina, in neither of which (with the
exception of a visit to Mobile, last year) hall he
ever been before, and which in the o<’dinar,
course ol nature andaffairs, he was never like
ly to see again. On his progress hitherto, in
every city, town, village, hamlet and crossroad
on his route, he had been generously and hospi
tably welcomed, without discrimination of par
ty. Under such circumstances, he thought he
might venture without harm to visit the land of
Marion, ol Sumter, and of Pickens—that he
might without blame come to the home ot the
Rutledges, the Pinckneys and the Middletons—
and survey or reconnoitre, as far as his oppor
tunities would allow him, the ground and the
: scenes where the venerable and gallant Chair
man of the committee and his compatriots had
fought the battles of the revolution. It was said
he was a candidate for the Presidency. He
could not deny that, from the St. John s to lite
banks of the Sabine, spontaneous demonstra
tions, unsought and unprompted by him, -had
i been made in his favor; hut he had never yet
1 consented or declared to any one that he was a
candidate lor the Presidency—at present he was
’ a plain farmer, earning his labor by the sweat
of his brow, or rather by l he joint sweat of him
self and those who labored lor him—and how
ever nea r the period ot final decision might be,
he had reserved the right of such decision for
the proper moment and the proper occasion.
Mr. Clay then entered into a frank and fear
less exposition ol his views on the great ques
tions oi the tai iff and the currency. He said he
came here to flatter no man or set of men—that
what he would say on the banks of the Elkhorn
he would dare to say in the Palmetto State. He
had ever been in favor of the protective policy to
a certain extent. To preserve at once the peace
and the great interests of the country, he bad
been active in effectingthe Compromiseot 1833,
and although he was far from maintaining the
doctrine that any Congress could bind its such
cessors, the extraordinary exigencies and state
oi the country which led to the passage of that
compromise made him feel it an obligation of
. honor io adhere to it in good faith; and he chal
lenged the most diligent search in the recotd
to show that he had even countenanced its vio
lation in the slightest particular—naj r more, he
was bold enough to say that during his entire
service in Congress since, there never had been
an effort to violate it which had not met with
his prompt and earnest resistance. Il was im
portant to understand the true character of that
compromise. It provided for a gradual reduc
tion of duties down to 20 percent., at a given
time, and after that for the raising of such a rev
enue, by duties an<l on imports exclusively, as
was necessary for an economical administra
tion ot the government. But the principle of
lhehome valuation was an essential and indis
pensable feature of that compromise—without
that feature it could not have passed, nine Sena
torial*votes having depended on that concession
—and although a distinguished Senator from
South Carolina at first strongly opposed it, he
afterwards publicly and pointedly in the Senate
surrendered the point, and the passage of the
measure was secured. Mr. C. denied that the
principle ot the compromise required the maxi
mum rate ofduty to be fixed at 20 per cent—its
true principle was that no more revenue should
be raised than was necessary for an honest and
economical administration oi the government,
and within that limit there might be discrimina
tion in favor of domestic industry. He was far
from conceding that the tariff of 1842 was in
violation of this principle oi the compromise—
but if it were, it equally violated the principle of
the home valuation, and neither interest affect
ed by it had more right to complain than the
other. A brief vindication oi a moderate pro
tective policy next followed, as necessary tose
cure tiie independence of the country, and its
ability lor defence in time of war; and as fur
nishing to the agricultural producer a home
market in addition to the foreign market—in
other words two markets ofsale and two markets
of purchase. Mr. Clay concluded this branch
of his subject by deelaiing himself in favor of a
system of protection, moderate, reasonable, cer
tain ard durable—yielding no niore revenue
than is necessary for an honest and economical
administration ot the government, and within
that limit, discriminating in the imposition ot
duties, between those articles which do and
those which do not enter into competition wi’h
domestic industry—throwing the heavier duty
on the former and the lighter duty on the latter.
He said that on this basis tins gieat question
must be settled—wj must live together, we
cannot do otherwise—ano there mu.-t be some
common ground on- which we should meet
Thaflhe advocates ot free trade and the advo
cates of prohibitory or high duties, occupied the
two extremes; and safety and peace could only
be found by taking the middle path. That nei
ther'merest or section could expect to have it
all their own way—the matter must be adjusted
by concession, compromise and conciliation -
such concessions, compromises and conciliation
asl ed to the adoption oi the federal constitution;
apd under the influence of which our political
union would continue to fulfil its sacred trust
and move forward in its high career a blessing
to our race. Each inteiest must concede some
thing, and thus a system of equivalents would
give satis action to all. And we should be the
more prompted to this result, as the concession
wool ’. rot be to foreigners and foreign interests,
but to domestic interr. ts, to fellow citizens of a
common country, io brethren of the same fami
ly.
In relation to the currency, Mr. Clay pro
nounced the idea ot an exclusively metallic
circulation a mere delusion; assumed that
banks and the banking system would continue
to exist under the auspices’of the States; and
thence inferred the necessity ol a national bank
to regulate and control the system and keep it '
from explosion and mischief. He also insisted
on a National Bankas necessary to secure a
national currency—which is as necessary to a 1
nation as national laws, and as indispensable '
to prevent the monied and commercial interests
of the country from being placed at the mercy
of the monied power of foreign slates. That
it was in Wall street, among foieign capitalists,
that the Northern opposition to a National Bank
was most vigorous, and this spoke volumes of
its connexion with the true interests and wel
fare of the country.
Mr. C. in conclusion apologised for his selec
tion of topics. He said that he had set out on
his present tour, with the intention to keep his
lips sealed; but he had been compelled to speak.
That he was no preacher and could not give a
sermon—no doctor and could not deliver a lec
ture on medicine—no poet and could not si: g
soft strains for the amusement of the audience
—but as he was obliged to say something, he
trusted he would be pardoned, lor being silent
on subjects of which he knew nothing, and for
speaking out freely on subjects with which he
professed to be familiar.
After Mr. Clay had finished speaking, the
meeting adjourned; and Mr. Clay, amid renew
ed cheers, re-entered the Jandau, and accompa
nied Dr. Porcher to his residence, he being the
guest of that gentleman during his sojourn
among us.
The Committee of Arrangements retired to
the Charleston Hotel, and partook of an elegant
dinner, provided by Mr. Nickerson, and enli
vened by sentiment and song.
In the evening, the Clay Club met at the
Theatre, where an immense concourse of ladies
and gentlemen had again assembled, and a spir
it-stirring speech of near two hours in lengtb-was
delivered by the eloquent Preston.
A splendid Ball, attended by citizens without
distinction of party, will be given in honor of
Mr. Clay, at jhe Charleston Hotel, this evening,
The following verses were let down, with a
wreath, of flowers into the barouche containing
Mr. Clay, as it passed under one of the arches
in King street:
TO HENRY CLAY,
The American Statesman—the Farmer of Ashland.
WELCOME proud scion of a patriot band,
Thrice honored Statesman of a freeborn laud!
With one accord eaah patriot of the South,
Thy welcome echoes loud from month to mouth.
Star of the West! whose glory beams around —
Whose fame from shore to’hore with joyful sound
Vibrates! Thy country honors thee; each heart,
That country cherishes, their grateful loves impart.
What iho’ opposing factious sport thy name
To glut thV appetite ot greedy fame?
It cannot dim the pure effulgent ray.
That proudly panoplies the name of (’I.AY.
What tho’ the scorn of little minds deride,
Such minds as cannot warm with manly pride
Each act recorded by a statesman’s pen,
Enrolled ’mongst triumphs ot distinguished men?
Envy cannot kill, nor .sneers efl ace
Those rich memorials of a patriot race,
But like the fabled phoenix they will rise.
Tho’ trod to earth, to cope with loftier skies.
Thou ait thy country’s! high souled. honest, free,
Champion of our rights ! I‘illar ol liberty!
’Tis then to thee our greetings shall extend.
For 1W a- u-Lu.t.e W rT T

And ever I less ;he name ot HENRY CLAY !

of this d.n.t.guibhevt ui.d numin- ; man :
“He was tor many years a leading and influ
ential citizen of Philadelphia. At the time of
his death he was President of the Philosophical
Society, and ol another ol the most esteemed
literary institutions of that city—the Athenteura.
He was one of the greatest linguists in the coun
try, and was particularly well versed in the dif
ferent languages of the aborigines of the A .re
rican continent. He was a Frenchman by birth,
and came to this country in 1778, with Baron
Steuben, and served under him with great dis
tinction anu honor during the revolutionarj’
war. His loss will not easily be supplied, for
he belonged to that noble-minded and heroic
class of men w ho may be regarded as the “ Fathers
ot the country,” and whose lofty mi lives and
elevation of character find but lew imitators
among the selfish and grovelling politicians of
the day.”
jj'ln the preface to a copy of the Life of
Franklin, by Mr. Sparks,.just now about to be
issued, Mr. S. gives some new information:
“He (Franklin.) began to write it in Eng
land as early as the year 1771, and trom lime to
lime he made such additions as his leisure would
permit. Vv file he was in France, as minister
plenipotentiary trom Li ■ United States, he
showed a copy of it to some of his friends there,
and one of them, M." Le Veillard, translated it
it.to French. Not Idng after Dr. Franklin’s
death. tins French translation appeared from
the Paris press. It was then re-translated by
some unknown but skillful hand into English,
and published in London ; and this re-lransh
lion, is the Life of Franklin which has usually
been circulated in Great Britain andtfie Unf
ed States, and of which numerous editions have
been printed. And, even to this day, it contin
ues to be read and to be quoted by respectable
writers as if it were the author’s original w ork;
although the tact ol' its being a translation is
expressly stated in the preface to the first edi

Free Church of Scotland.
The following introductory remarks, to r.nd
extract from, the address of Dr. Cunningham, in
reference to tli<*persecutiohs of the Free Church
1 of Scotland, which we find in the Newark Ad
vertiser, will be highly inteiesting to those of
our readers who desire to be informed of the
history and progress of events, on this absorbing
question. (
, Dr. Cunningham’s Representations.—
The Rev. Dr. Cunningham, who visits this
country as the representative of the Free
Churches of Scotland, address d a public mat
ing in the 2nd Presbyterian Church of this city
last evening on the interesting objects of his
mission. The clergy of the city generally were
present, with many leading individuals belong
ing to the different denominations of Christians,
mid the highly respectable audience were appa
rently much interested by hisclearand affecting
statements of the proceedings, peculiar suffer
ings, present condition and wants, and future
prospects of the seceding churches —which oc
cupied near two hours. After some brief intro
ductory remarks, in which due reference was
made to the distinguished services of the Scotch
Church in the days of the Reformation, and to
the fact that it may be regarded as the mother of
the Presbyterian churches ot this free country,
Dr. C. proceeded to show that she had been
called in these latter days to contend in suffer
ing for the maintenance of the same great truths
tor which the forefathers endured martyrdom,
and thereby to establish her claims to the sym
pathy and succor of the free throughout Chris
tendom.
The truths referred to are those which affect
the whole supremacy of Christ over the Church,
and in consequence of their assertion, the
churches which he represents were driven in
May last to renounce all connection with the
State establishment, and assume the high desig
na ion ot the Free Church of Scotland :—/Vee to
maintain the supremacy of Cl.rist over his
Church — free from the^ power of patrons and
feudal lords,— free to choose their own minis
ters, and (tee to administer the ordinances with
out hindrance from secular power.
This is the happy position of the protestant
churches of this free land, where the Christian
Church in ail itsbranches enjoys the inalienable
privit ge of regulating its own affairs without
responsibility to Ccesar. Dr. C. went on to
show with much of feeling and argument that
God alone is lord over the conscience and that
no civil power can have any right to prescribe
forms ol beliefor modes ofecclesistical atlmin
istratinn—that church members and office-bear
ers are a’one responsible to their legitimate,
divine Head. For these sacreds truths, here
tirive’sally enjoyed, the churches of Scotland
had been called to suffer. Incompetent and im
moral! ministers had been put upon them with
out their consent m virtue of the mere secular
possession of the patron, who may have derived
•it by inheritance, or which he may have bought
as merchandize, in the market; and the pre
senter maybe, so-any thing that the law re
quires, anti many are, infidels or profligates.
Yet this pieposte’ous and degrading relic of
f.’t'dal barburi’-m—ol the ages when the lord of
the mano : was lord of the body and soul of all
under him—so utterly inconsi tent with the rights
of Christ, and suited only to slaves—is a part ot
the system of the established churches of En
gland, Ireland and Scoffand!
The 'ecturer then gave a concise running re
view of the smuggles of the Church of Scotland
in opposition to the system ot Patrons and tie
assumptions of the civil power to regulate its
affairs, for nearly three centuries. After endur
ing many trials, some 400 ministers gave up
their livings about 1660, and were subjected to
28 yearsof unrelenting persecution, wliiehdrove.
many of them to this western world, where they
planted the seeds of that ecclesiastical liberty
which we now so richly enjoy.
Dr. U. hereen’ered into a full history of the
recent revolution, and shewed that when the
Evangelical party first gained the ascendancy
in the General Assembly <>‘lß24, one pt their
first acts w. s a resolution—since they cou d
not abo'ish the law of Pat’onage— not to ordain
any m'oister against the consent of the congre
gation. A case soon occurred in which an
exceptionable mink ter was put upon the large
parish of Auchertrader by the patron. The
people appea'ed to the civil courts, which sus
tained the pa' on, and decreed that bis non: inee
must be ordained, and that tho e who should
refuse to ordain him would be subject to civil
pains and penalties. The Geneial Assembly,
however, iefused, and appealed to Parliament
—contending that the decision was contrary to
lawand the treaty ofUnion.
But Parliament confirmed the Courts, and
the only alternative was the renunciation of
the divine or civil authority—a point wbich re
quired no debate, and the resu't was the seces
sion and the establishment ol the Free Ciinicu.
In rehearsing this remarkable chapter in mod
ern church history, the speaker made honorable
mention ot the services and influence of the
Rev. Dr. Chalmers, add enlarged upon the i
union, zeal and harmony of the seceding church- ,
es, some 700 in number, and their increased >
prospects of future joy and usefulness. ,
Outcf 1200 Minisleis then connected with ,
the Established Church, 470 renounced that ,
cotinex'on, and thus deprived themselves and ]
families of a fixed support tor lite, atid threw .
themselves upon Providence. 11. will not be j
considered unbecoming in me here, 1 hope, to ,
c’aitn forthem, by their renouncing all these
temporal blessings, and with them many op
portunities of doing good, no small share of :
sincerity. But the temptations were too great ;
for some, and I am sorry to say that about 200
Ministers, who for several years had been with
the Evangelical party, were found wanting, and 1
lemained with the residuary Church. Bulstill !
about 700 congiegations, scattered through the i
lenglh and breadth ot Scotland, came out: they,
too, had their temptations, lor undef the Estab- I
lishefl Church their Churches and Ministers t
were maintained at the national expense; and I
thus they gave another evidence of that stead- 1
fast sincerity lor which the pious people ot <
Scotland have been in every age distinguished. 1
Os course, our first duty is to provide places of t
worship tor these people—to see that the Minis- I
lets are decently maintained, not as they were 1
before, although their livings were far below I
the tat benefices of England. You will see I
that so man.’ Churches cannot be erected at <
once, which is a peculiarity of our position. It '
is a definite work, which we must do, and do I
now. About £200,C00 has already been sub- <
scribed by our wealthier Churches, but this is •
not enough, and we will ne d half as much
more. Ol our Churches abort 100 are able to 1
help themselves, and about fifty of this number I
can to a considerable extent help others ; but ■
the remaining 600 are too poor to erect places
ot worship, however plain and humble in struc
ture. Ot cou.se, our richer Churches and indb !
viduals have done nobly. I could mention, 1
would time permit, many striking instances ol 1
sell denial, even in poorand humble lite. Ma- '
ny ofthe licit Churches, which have coniribu- 1
ted largely already, although able to build ex- 1
pensive edifices of worship, have resolved to 1
contentt’i’inselves with the plainest that they 1
might have the means of giving more. I men- 1
tion these things to prove to you that we would 1
not think ot' asking assistance, without shewing I
you that we are willing to help outselves. 1
By dissolving oar connexion with the State, '
we have lost our interest in the University, and '
must have Rinds to build a Theological Semi- ■
nary and to endow a Library. But we do not 1
ask your assistance lor these things: aft we ask ‘
is to help to erect plain houses ot worship for
these congregations—after which rethink, we
will need no mo e. e
But our difficulties have been grfeatly aggra
vated by the opposition of the wealthy and now- 1
enul; a larvc p.o; otiion, about.three-fourllis of 1
the land in Scotland being owned by Episcopa
lians, whose hostility to our principles, as inter
fering with the >aw of secular pattonage, has :
btci>: eadljv and vindictive. In that country, '

1 Texas Prisoners.—Two of Ihe Texas pris
oners confined in Castle Perote, Mexico, afflved
‘ in this city yesterday morning. They were
1 liberated some fifteen days or three week’skinee;
- one of them. Israel Canfield, at the intercession
; of Hon. John Quincy Adams, and t! e othei, D.
C. Ogden, at the instance ofthe Mexican Con-
• sul in New O leans. The former was taken
r prisoner at Mier, an I the latter at San Antonio
de Bexar. They left Vera Cruz on the 22d ult.
on the U. S. brig Somers, for Pensacola. This
vessel was blowjt off to sea on Friday night last,
* when almost within sight of her port of desti
' nation. The night before last, however, she
' had come so far back on her route as to fall in
with a pilot boat from this port, about 25 miles
‘ off the bar. Three of the passengers on the
‘ Somers, the two persons mentioned above, and
R. William son, of N. Y., embarked on the Pilot
boat for Mobile.
We learn from Mr. Caufield, that the rumor
of the probable release of all the Texan prison
er- in Mexico is entirely without foundation—
thatAhere was spme probability of the release
of the San Antonio prisoners, but this state

little chance for any of the rest. We make

Novel Reading.—The following letter from
the Boston CLuartely Review, we recommend to
the attention nfnovel readers—
“lt is never good to excite the mind or the
heart overmuch, save when it can find imme
diate vent in actions which concern real life :
a confirmed novel reader is always morbid, on
some: sides pre,ernaturally callous ; capable, it
may be, ot talking much fine sentiment, but
wanting in that spi ritual strength, in that moral
ro'oustness, which is equal to the performance
of a useful but difficult part in real life. The
l ess fine sentiment we have on our lips, the
more genuine feelitig shall we have in our
hearts; and the more noble and generous actions
shall we perform. Ele w’ho stops to sentimen
talize about poverty, will be the hist to throw
his cloak over the tattered gabardine ol the beg
gar. This is no doubt all very antiquated and
altogether old fashioned. But we hope our
young friends, seated on rich or recli
ning on soft couches, with the last new novel
still moist from the press, will forgive this our
antediluvianisrn. It is w ith no vinegar visage,
nor cant, that we tell them to throw the .» ovel
aside, to rouse themselves from theirindole.nce,
and go forth and devote tb.e sensibilities of their
hearts, the richness of tl leir fancies, and tiie
creativeness of their imaginations, to the great
and noble work of relieving actual distress, and
ol upbuilding the cause of truth and righteous
ness on earth. O, my young fiienus, there is
not such an overplus of generous sentiment; ot
warm and noble feeling in this cold wintry
world ot ours, that you have any to waste over
a Paul (,’lifford or a Jack Sheppard. Jloj ro
forth into real life, and let your sensibilities
flow out for the actually poor and wretched; let
the tears:, so loveiy in the eye of beauty, statt at
no fictitious wo. That poor mother, by hiV
dying boy, in that miserable hovel, needsit;
those poor children, ranged, incrusted with
filth, growing up to fill your penitentiaries,
need it; the wrongs and outrages man in every
where irflietingon man should call it forth.—
Throw away ihe last new novel, go with me
through these dark lanes, blind courts, into damp
cellars, unfurnished garrets, where poverty,
vice, and crime are crowded together, layer up
on layer, where breeds the corruption that
pollutes our . whole moral atmi sphere. Here
my triends is a volume that mtty excite you,
here is a work which you may read. Forget
your luxury; forget yonr luxurious case; blush
for your repinings, your sentimental whimp
rings, your vapors and indigestion; and re
member that you are men and women; and that
it is your business to make this earth a paradise
and every human heart a meet temple fbr the
living God.”
Illinois Ghost Story.—We learn from the
Charleston (Coles Co.) Courier, that there has
been a great excitement in that usually peace
able town. Somebody saw a ghost, while night
walking, which told him that three murders had
been committed at a certain house, and that
the bodies had been thrown into a well, which
had been filled up. A company collected and
commenced disembowelling the old well. One
days work was done, ami a bone of a hog had
been found, which had come into the world for
the purpose of having its throat cut. The work
men having left, some mischievous wag drop
ped into the pit the bones of an Indian which
had.-been found in the neighborhood, and which
had been preserved by some man curious in
such matters. The digging was resumed in the
morning, and these bones wet e raisedtothe sur
prise, and to the perfect astonishment and horror
of all present —with the exception of said wag.
Arrests were immediately talked of—affidavits
were about to be got up—when the facts leaked
out, and the good folks at Charleston had not
finished laughing at each other at the last dates.
—Sangamo Journal.
Dow jr. thus hits off the contrast between
semblance and reality in the seem sot a ball,
enjoyed by the young folks of his' imaginary
congregation. “A woman,” he says, “may
not be an angel, though she glides through the
mazes ofthe dance like a spirit clothed with
the rainbow and studded with, stars. The young
man may behold his admired object on the
morrow in the light ot reality, perchance
emptying a washtub into the gutter, with frock
pinned up behind—cheeks pale for the want of
paint—her hair mussed anct mossy, except what
lies in thebureau—and her wholecontour wear
ing the appearanqp of an angel rammed thrtuigh
a brush fence into a world of wietchedness
and woe. Now, my dear friends, supposing a
man docs happen to find his snapped up beauty
in such a predicament ? I say it is a glorious
recommendation for him -, and if he don’t like
it he must keep away from those places.”
Monument to Walter Scott.—We have
received, says the Baltimore Patriot, a splendid
engraved tepn entation of the monument now
in progress of erection in Edinburgh, to ti e
memory ol Sir Walter Scott. When comple
ted, t. is will be the largest and, it is supposed,
the most beau ilul slruclu eof the Rind eilh-T

“Milk for Babes,” an elaborately-concocted
satire upon a certain class ot learned and pious
books for urchins o 'both sexes,” is not without
humor, and ridicules what indeed in some re
spects deserves animadversion. We affect as
little as our correspondent what has been right
ly termed “a. clumsy fumbling for the half-
Im med intellect, a merciless hunting down of
the tender and unfledged thought,"’ through the
means of “ instructive” little books, wherein an
insipid tale goes feebly wriggling through an
unmerciful load of moral, religious, am! scien
tific preaching; or an apparently simple dia
logue involves subjects of the highest difficulty,
which are chattered over by the juvenile prodi
gies, or delivered to them in mouthtuls curious
ly adr pled to their powers of swallowing. “ The
tit ir or manners and duties,” says our corres
pondent, “ are quite overlooked by misguided
parents now-a-days;” and this he illustrates by
an anecdote: “Thomas my son,” said, a father
to a lap in my hearing the other day, “won’t
you show the gentleman your last composi
tion?” “ 1 don’t want to,” said he. “I wish you
would,” responded the lather. “I wont!” was
the reply; i’ll le goy-blaraed if I do!” A sick
le, halt-approving smile passed over the face of
tiie tather, i s he said in extenuation ot his son’s
brvsigieric: ’• Tom don’t lack manners generally;
but the tact is, he’s got »cch a cold, he is almost
a foolf’ Kind parent! happy boy!—Knicker
bocker.
The Countenance —Amenity of temper has
a great effect upon the countenance. It is a
foe to wrinkles of all kinds. A woman lately
died at Peoria, over seventy years ofage, and it is
said her face was as smooth and her skin as soft
as a young girl’s. BuLshe was a quiet, tran
quil hearted creature, uare never troubled her,
and she had never been known to frown. Veri

THE LADY’S DREAM.
We copy the following lines from a new perio
dical, destined, we doubt not, to obtain high favor
with the public, Hood’s Magazine and Comic
Miscellancy. The lines display a spirit of genuine
poetry, and what is much better, one of genuine
humanity and religion also, and they are well
calculated to draw into action fedines of benevo
lence which now slumber in many bosoms solely
f.om the want of thought. “ The Lady’s Dreanr’
is a good companion piece for “ The Song of the
Shirt,” and is, we believe, from the pen of the
same author: —
The lady lay in her bed,
Her couch so warm and soft,
But her was restless and broken still;
For taming often and oft
From side to side, she muttered and moan’d
And toss’d her arms aloft.
At last she started up,
And gaz’d on the vacant air,
With a look of awe, as ifsh saw
.Some dreadful phantom there—
And then in the pillow she butied her face
From visions il. to bear.
The very curtain shook.
Her tenor was so extreme,
And the light that fell on the broider’d quilt
Kept a tremulous gleam ;
And her voice was hollow, and shook as she
cried;
“Oh me ! that awful dream I
“ That weary, weary walk,
In the churchyaid's dismal ground !
And those horrible things, with shady wings,
That came and flitted round, —
jleath, death, and nothing but death,
In every sight and sound !
“And oh ! those maidens young,
V\ 7 ho wrought in that dreary room,
With- figures spertre.R thin,
Am.’ checks without ;• bloom
And the voice that cried, ‘ For the pomp of
prk'e,
We ha 9te to an early tomb! t
“ For the do mp and pleasure of pride ;
We toil like African slaves,
And only.to earn a h iae at last,
Where Wider cypress waves ;
And then he poir.'led— I
A ground so full of graves ;
“ And still the coffins came.
With their sorrowful trains and slow;
Coffin after coffin stilt,
A sad and sickening show ;
From grief exempt,! never had dreamt
Os such a World of Wo !
“ Os the hearts that daily break,
Oi the tears that hourly fall,
Os the many, many troubles of life,
That grieve this earthly ball—
Disease, and Hunger, Pain, and Want,
But now I dream of them all!
“ For the blind and the cripple were there,
And the babe that pined for bread,
And the houseless man, and the widow poor
Who begged—to bury the dead !
The inked, alas, that 1 might have clad,
The famished. I might have fed !
“ The sorrow 1 might have soothed,
And the unregarded tears;
For many a thronging shape was there,
From long fbmotlen years,
Ay, even the poor rejected Moor,
Who raised my childish fears .’
“ Each pleading- look, that long ago
I scann’d with a heedless eye ;
Each face was gazing as plainly there,
As when I passed it by ;
Woe, woe for me if the past should be
Thus present when I die !
*•* No need of sulphurous lake,
No need of fiery coal,
But only that crowd of human kind
Who wanted pity and dole—
In everlasting introspect--
Will wring my sinful soul!
Alas! 1 have walked through life
Too heedless where I trod ;
Nay, helping to trample my fellow worm,
And till the burial sod—
Forgetting that < ven the sparrow falls
Aot unmarked of God !
“ I drank the richest draughts ;
And ate whatever is good—
Fish, and fl sh, and fowl, and fruit.
Supplied my hungry mood;
But 1 never remembered the wretched ones
That starve for want of food !
“ 1 dressed as the noble dn ss,
In cloth of silver and gold,
Wi’h silk, and satin, and costly furs,
In many an ample fold ;

OUR BOYHOOD’S HOME.
BY HENRY JOHN SHARPE.
Though from our native hills we roam,
The thoughts we ne’er can quell
Which bring to mind oar.“ Boyhood’s home,”
Beneath whose unpretending dome
Our aged parents dwelt
At early dawn —at evening’s close—
Throughout the live-long day—
Our “ Boyhood’s home ” in sweet repose,
Around our hearts its magic throws.
Where’er our footsteps stray.
Our “ Boyhood’s home!” our Father-land !
In landscape wild andfree —
Created by “ rude nature’s hand”
To teach the mountain “ Minstrel band”
To breathe their strains to thee.
Can we, my Brothers, e’er forget,
That cherished lay ofearth ;
The home we left with deep regret,
Where all “ the tribe of Jesse” met
In joyous, cheerful mirth ?
Ah no! our thoughts forever dwell
On Boyhood’s happy home ;
Our hearts with fond emotion swell
As we repeat the sacred Spell
That cheers us as we roam.

AUGUSTA MARKET.
* Wednesday, p. m.
Cotton — For the two last days a better feeling has
been exhibited in our market, and prices have advanced
fully J (a) j cent above the lowest point of depression.
'Flic sales, however, are yet limited, as holders mani
fest little disposition to dispose of their stocks at the
present rates. A few days will give the market a firm
and settled character, when we shall renew our quota
tions.
Exchange—V;e refer to our tables fcr the rates of
checks, which will also keep our country readers ad
vised ofthe value of Bank notes, by which we desire
la keep them well guarded against the frauds of un
sound institqtions. Whenever, therefore, we enter
tain any well grounded suspicion against any bank, we
shall not hesitate to caution the public against its is-
sues.
Savannah, April 9.
Ct/Zfo»--The demand for Upland continued brisk on
Friday, the sales amounting to about 850 bales, at
steady prices; on Saturday the feeling was rather bet
ter. and 11 OU bales were sold at very full prices, and
perhaps an jc advance in some instances. This was.
no doubt, owing tothe fact tnat the pressure on the
market had been very much relived by previous sales;
yesterday the sales were only about 200 bales, but the
market closed with a decidedly better feeling, and may
be qoted generally an |c lb above the lowest point of
depression, while square lots, from their scarcity and
the greater demand for them, are perhaps J cent bet
ter.
The sales of thethreedays sum up 2254 as follows. 6

IMPURITY OF BLOOD CAUSES
pain and occasions disease upon that part of
the body which from any cause may be weakest.
Thus in persons whose blood is impure, should
they have a cold, the impure matter would settle
upon their lungs, and consumption be the trouble;
so with other affections. Ali trouble is saved by
using the BRAN DRETH PILLS, which cannot
injure and which cannot be overdone. Only use ,
them in the commencement of any disease, use
them in full doses and you will be up and well, ,
while those who are toow i-e to take such a sim
ple medicine, fire b< d-iidd’ n. or prematurely end
theirdays. The Brandreth Pills are only begin
ring to be appreciated ; they are found to never
deceive ; they are the only internal medicine re
quired in this climate.
Be careful of pretended universal purgatives,
which cannnot be used without injury to the
body as Brandeth’s Pills can. What are they?
Are they not imitations of the Brandreth Pills re
comendcdin advertisement sstolen from Dr. Bran
dreth? Were they not originally counterfeit pills '
purporting to be the genuine Brandreth Pills?
But in consequence of the new’ labels on the
Brandreth Pill boxes are they not obliged to come
out under other colors equally false ? Observe the
makers and travelling agents. Are,they not men
whom Dr. Brandreth hath cast olf, not lor good
conduct truly ? Is not this true as applicable to
the pretended “ and, in fact, to nearly i
all th< advertised pills of theday ? Shall the pub- i
lie trust their lives in the hands oi these unprin- |
cipled men ? Surely not.
Th> Bren Ire th Pills give strength fur weakness ,-
—they are liked best by those who have taken the (
into r them. Dr. Brandreth can give personal 1
refer, tee to thousands who have been restored 1

The New York Commercial Advertiser says:
—“ They remove all morbid humors, and purify
the blood.”
The New York Sun says : “ Brandreth’s Pills
have been used among many of our friends, and
in our fami’y we have used them nearly four
years, w’hen w r e required medicine. In that
period, no doctor save Dr. Brandreth has crossed
our threshold, and no medicine besides the
Doctor’s pills used. Our belief is, keep your
bowels and blood pure, and every kind of disease <
will be prevented or cured. The Brandreth Pills
are eminently c*Jcdialed to do this, and thereby
much lessen the sum of human misery. They
are a c rain cure for fevers, co’ds from damp or
changeable weather, putrid exhalations of any
kind, or contagious maladies. None of these .
causes for sickness can affect us except through ;
the organs of the stomach and bowels; and com- .
mon sense tolls us the«e can be no safer method '
than the removal of unhealthy accumulations in ;
those organs. It matters not whether ,
those accumulations proceed from the impure \
state of the blood, the s’Jte of the air, changes .
of the weather, or from unwholesome food.”
