Mr. Cluin' South < arolina.
The Columbia “Chronicle," of Wednesday
morning, contains the following notice ot Mr.
Clay’s arrival and reception in Columbia :
Mr. Cur- This distinguished gentlAtan.on
whom the hopes of the friends of freedom and
good government are centred, arrived in Co
lumbia on Monday‘evening last, attended by a
committee of gentlemen from Augusta. The
demonstrations cf regard and respect with which
he was received by our citizens on his arrival
must have been cheering to this venerable pa
triot. An immense assemblage, of all ranks and
both sexes, ampng Whom the beauty and sash
ion of the town, sb jre conspicuou-, had congre
ga'edatthe Rail Roa I Depot to welcome him,
and on his quitting the cirs the multitude greet
ed him with a shout long and loud, which was
received and acknowledged with (hat peculiar
and inimitable grace and dignity for which he
is so distinguished. He was then conducted,
amid the smiles of the ladies and the waving of
handke'chiefs,to Col. Preston’s open barouche,
and the cavalcade of equipages and horsemen
escorted him to that gentlidfcan’s residence.
Yesterday he appropriated the afeurs between 12
and!) to the reception ot vi itors at Mr. Clark’s
Hotel, where a large number of citizens and
strangers crowded to see him. In the evening
his distinguished host threw open the doors of
his hospitable mansion to the largest and mo t
brilliant assemblage ever witnessed inColumbia,
where all vied a itn eachot ier in paying hom
age to the illustrious guest. Today he visits
Col. Wade Hampton, who also intends to give
a large entertainment; and tomorrow he leaves
for Charleston
We regret exceedingly that his airangetnents
and wishes induced him to decline the proffered
public h. spitalities tendered him by our citi
zens, and that the precar.ous state of his lunes
prevented him from favoring us with a speech
But we respect his motives for his polite refusal
of the one. and regard his health too much to
murmur at the oinmission of the other. May
peace and happiness attend him on his journey,
and may a grateful nation crown his eminent
public services with the highest honors in the
gift of a free people.
The following letter, in reply to the invitation
of the Richland Clay Club, gives his
tor declining any honors having a public or
party character.
Acoubta, March 97th, 1844.
Dear Sir: I have received at this place
your favor of the 21st inst., transmitting certain
resolutions which the Richland Clay Clnb has
done me the honor to pass, and I request you
to present to it my grateful acknowledgements
ft is my present purpose to reach Columbia
on Tuasday evening the 2nd of April. My
visit is intended to be one wholly cf a private
nature, and I desire it to be unattended with any
parade, procession, or public manifestation on
my account, lam greatly obliged by the ten
der of the compliment of a barbacue, but with
the views which carry me to Columbia it would
be altogether incompatible, and as I have de
clined all similar entertainments elsewhere, I
hope 1 shall be excused for declining the ac
ceptance of that. I regret also that considera
tions of delicacy, and propriety, as they force
themselves upon my mind, will not allow me
to accept the friendly inv.itation to attend a pub
lie meeting at the Club Room. In declining to
meet my fellow citizens ot Richland and Colum
bia in the modes kindly suggested by the Club, I
take pleasure in saving, that 1 will meet them tn
any unceremonious manner and exchange friend
ly salutations with them, in feelings of satisfac
tion and gratitud.i.
I am your friend,
and ob’t serv’t,
H. CLAY.
Sam’l Weib, Esq.
From the “ Charleston Courier” of yesterday,
we clip the following paragraph, and letter from
the distinguished patriot:'
Non-arrival of Mr Clay.—The following
letter was received by express train last even
ing, which renders it necessary to postpone the
Citizen’s Ball to Mr. Clay to Monday night.
The Committee of Arrangements and Senior
and Junior Managers to the Ball, are request
ed to meet at the Charleston Hotel, This Morn
ing, at 9 o’clock.
“ Columbia, (S. C.,) April 3, 1844.
“Dear Sir—l had fully intended to leave
this place for Charleston, tomorrow evening,
and had made my arrangements accordingly,
but I find myself somewhat indisposed this
morning, in consequence of a cold taken dur
ing the progress of my journey, and which I
have from circumstances too much neglected.
I am also informed, that a portion ot the reli
gious community of Charleston might feel
wounded by public manifestations to which the
occasion of my first visit to that city may possi
bly give rise, during a week which recals a re
collection of memorials and solemn events con
netted with our religion. In reference to the
feelings of that portion of the community, and
under lhe hope of obtaining relief from the cold
by which lam suffering, I have determined to
postpone my departure fi>r Charleston to Saiur
day morning, which will enable me to arrive
there that evening, and as this postponement
will deprive me-ol a portion of the time, this
week, which I had alloted to my sojourn in thai
city, I hav ■ also concluded to remain in it till
Tuesday t ternoon, when I hope to obtain a
passage to Wilmington. I regret extremelj' if
this change in my movements should be pro
ductive of any inconvenience, and I shall leel
very happy if the motives by which I a.m gov
erned are Fullv appreciemd and acquiesced in.
“I remain, dea' Sir,

The Chinese.—As I visited the “Great Un
known” among nations at a perfectly interest
ing period, 1 note down its various features as
they present themselves to me, commencing
with my first arrival on lhe coast.
On nearing the land, and while it was yet a
dim outline, scar ely disliuguisnable from the
clouds that rested uh it, (some thirty miles dis
tant,) I was surprised at the immense fleets of
boats that co -ered the waters as far as the eye
could reach, and which vividly impress on the
mind of the stranger the populousness of the
land he is about to visit. These bo. ts are fish
ing boats, ofa large size, an I each of them is
provided with iwoor three masts, and the com
mon fore and aft mat sails of China. V) ha.
adds much to the effect created by their appear
ance is, that they are always in pairs, for the
purpose, as 1 afterwards learned, of mutual as
sistance in fishing; which is done by dragging a
larg net between them.
At last we perceived a solitary boat making
towards us, and she was soon ran alongside oi
our ship with a dexterity which gav.: a most fa
vorable impression, (afterwards fully confirm
ed,) of the manner in which the Chinese man
age their boats; and presently a Chinese out
side pilot was on board.
It is hardly credible how soon the eye becomes
accustomed to the strangest dress, or indeed to
no dress at all. I had, however, become quite
familiarized with the Chinese costume, even in
England, by the figures of Chinaware, and by
the mandarin figures with which we occasion
ally ornament our chimney-pieces; so much
so, that when I first saw the Chihese at Penang
and Singapore, I could never look at them
without the idea ofa breaklast, set involuntari
ly, and, ludicrously enough, intruding it
self on my mind. The dress of those I had al
ready seen at these places, (I am speaking oi
the costume of the laboring classes,) consisting
of a pair of very wide and blue calico trousers,
reaching but a little way below lhe knee, with
out flaps or buttons, and so large at the waist,
that the wearers, in order to keep them on, are
obliged to take a turn in the waistband, and
tuck in the ends; and with the addition of a
loose jacket or smockfrock, open at lhe neck,
■with very capacious sleeves, differed in no re
spect from the dress of the Chinamen, who
were now alongside, excepting that the latter,
to better guard against the cold, had clothed
lilClnStivVO ttt *»>«»! whvlw
The pilot boat was a very fair specimen ol
he boats that are used by ihe Chinese along the
coast in the neighborhood of Hong Kong, and
though at first sight she seemed exceedingly
outre, and caused a smile, yet on further exam
ination I could not but admire lhe excellent
adaptation to their necessities, observable in
every arrangement. She was very sharp in
front, and increased in breadth to the stern, in
shape being somewhat like a wedge; but in
front she was deep in the water, while astern
she was shallow; an arrangement of much im
portance in regard to her sailing. She had tuo
masts, each furnished with a large foie and aft
sail, which was composed ot mats, each about
three feet long by two broad, well sewn togeth
er; and horizontady across the sail, at about
two or three feet above one another, were
stretched some seven or eight bamboos; so that
by merely lowering the yard, any number of
reefs might be in a second taken in. Close in
front of the mainmast was a? well, or rather
there were two wells, tor a strong division ran
between them, and they opened by separate
openings in the deck. In these was contained
the needful supply of water. Abaft the main
mast was the hold or cabin, in which dwelt a
family of three generations, to the number of
eleven men, women and children. In fine wea
ther a cane roof was raised above the deck, un
der it sat the family, engaged in various occu
pations and amusements. Directly behind this
eabin was a portion ot deck, to which the name
of kitchen will not be altogether inappropriate ;
for here the old woman “on boat, hold cares in
tent,” boiled the rice and other provisions.—
Running round the quarters and stern, was an
over-hanging frame-work, which answered the
purpose of an omnium gatherum, and held dice
pots, teapots, chop-sticks, dishes, and the vari
ous other necessary utensils. The rudder,
which was large, and very curiously pierced
with diamond shaped holes, was, when the
boat was being towed along by the ship, raised
out of the water by means of a small winch.
This is the best description I can give of the
boat that brought off, and belonged to, the pilot,
who was one of the outside pilots, so called in
order to distinguish them from the inside pilots,
licensed by the Chinese government to guide
foreign ships from Maeao through the Bogue,
into the inner waters of the river. The pilot
himself amused me exceedingly. With his
hands behind his back, and under the tail tha>
dangled down to his heels, he strutted about tb<
deck in a moet nonchalant and consequential
naannex, that waarendored the more ludiareua
by Ins so >n. squat figure, broad, flat lace, and
small twinkling oblique eyes. He was accom
panied by a very good humored old Cninaman
who seemed deligued at matting our acquaint
ance, having an eye to a good supper, and who
spoke tolerably good China-English and acted
the partof interpreter and assistant to his friend,
the pilot, who knew but a few words, yet am
ply sufficient to make a pretty good bargain
with our worthy captain.
When evening closed, this interesting pair,
in addition ro their already manifold clothing,
comforted their legs with a pair of light over
alls, and their heads with coverings very simi
lar to those Welsh wigs that old gentlemen
who travel by mail-coaches so much affect,
which done, and having drank some coffee,
(which 1 have ever observed Chinamen fake
from foreigners in preference totea,) they amus
ed themselves by constantly smoking a kind of
light colored tobacco, wrapped up in paper, in
the same way that the Spaniards and Portu
guese make their cigarilhos, having perhaps
adopted the mode from them. Each of them
carried one of these cigarilhos behind each ear,
as a clerk does his pen.— Noles of an English

Reminiscences ot the Olden Days of Va.
ORIGIN OF THS TERM CAVENDISH TOBACCO.
There lived in the county of Mecklenberg, and
Colony ot Virginia, some seventy and five years
ago, a Colonel Cabanis, a successful planleran-t
“prosperous gentleman.” Now, in those an
cient days of Virginia, the habit was to export
the tobacco grown in the Colony to the mother
country, to be manufactured, and there to be re
exported to Virginia, there to be masticated and
spirted upon its native soil.
Our woithy Colonel was the first to start do
mestic manufactures at lhe South on h sown
hook, by the erection of a private establishment
fbr the manufacture ot chewing tobacco on a
snail scale. And a prime article was turned
out from this infant, and, we may say, isolated
manufactory of the olden time. And the good
Colonel, who was a member of the House of
Burgesses, would at every annual visit to Wil
liamsburg, put in his saddle-bags a choice twist
for each ofhis brother members and chewersof
he House; and anxiously, indeed, was his ad
vent, or rather saddle-bags, looked for, while
many a smacking of lips, as well as shaking of
hands, greeted the manufacturer ofMecklenberg
al the capitol.
Now the Cabanis twist beat all competition;
it had the taste, the twang, the real game flavor,
and many and earnest were lhe inquiries as to
the modus operandi by which such an exquisite
article was produced. At length the Colonel
divulged the mighty secret—Hr always pressed
his prime, the real Cabanis, tn an old bee gum!
Gentle readers who are masticators of the
weed rejoice! After the lapse of three quarters
of a century the truth, the mighty truth, is out
at last. So let us hear no more of Cavendish
Tobacco, but of Cabanis No. 1, real Bee Gum,
and no mistake.
Cssar and the Razor-strop.—During the
vice-royalty of Lord Botetourt, there lived and
flourished in Williamsburg, a black barber
named Caesar, a queer old fellow, and lamed
through all the country around for the bluntness
ofhis wit and the keenness of his razors. Now
Caesar’s shop was, in those ancient days, as the
barber’s shops are in modern times, lhe focus of
all the news and scandal of the place. And
thither would the then magnates of Virginia re
pair, to enjoy the gossip of the Capitol, and to
have their “chins new reaped” by Caesar’s in
comparable sharps. Even Colonel Bird, the
mirror of the taste and fashion of Old Virginia’s
gallant and joyous day, would discard his crowd
of valets and go to the barber shop when he
wished to indulge in a smooth shave.
The Colonel determined to inquire into the
mystery of these superior sharps, and said,
“Cassar, you old villain, surely the devil must
strop you r razors fbr you or how do they acqu ire
such an edge? Here am I year after year im
porting strops of great price a-.id celebrity, my
rascals are continually stropping, and yet we
cannot raise an edge comparable to yours.
Here’s a guinea, come show me your strop.”
The mysterious barber took the gold, eyed it
with great complacency, pouched it, and then
displaying his ivory from ear to ear, observed,
“ Well, massa Bird, go you send home forstrop,
hey, and still Ceesar’s razor’s beat all I he, he, he.
See here massa,” and going to a box, he pro
duced an old bridle rein nailed to apiece of wood..
The astonished Colonel cried, “what the devil
is this, Caesar. As the boys say, sure you are
poking fun at me.” To which the barber of the
ancient regime, making a bow, that tor grace
and dignity would not have shamed the vice
royal Court itself, laid his hand upon his heart
andremarkel: “ Pon my honor, dat is all tny
strop;” then continued, “ but mind, massa Bird,
it must be old plough bridle rein, -tie more sweat
and dust, de belter. 1 '
Colonel Bird took the hint. He ceased his
importation of foreign strops, while his vast es
tate furnished a great choice of the domestic
material; and often would he relate to his visi
tors at Westover, the story of lhe famed old
Barber of Williamsburg, and the discovery of
the Magic Strop.

Extraordinary Marriage Ceremony.—
The neighborhood of St. John's Chapel, St.
John’s square, Clerkenwell, has recently, as we
learn fit m a London paper, been the scene of
great interest and curiosity, >in consequence of a
ceremony ot a most novel and extraordinary
character having taken place.
“The Rev. Mr. Hugh Hughes, minister ot
St. John’s Chapel, in the course ofhis visita
tions to relieve lhe poor in the lower walks of
ife, and afford them religious aid, discovered a
great number of persons, ot both sexes, living
together in a state of profligacy. Through the
medium of his exhoitaiions they were brought
to a sense of the impro; riety of such a course
of life, and eighty-six men and women, con
sisting of butchers, costermongers, tailors,
sht emakers and others, of various trades, and
callings, consented, at tl e request of the Rev.
gentleman, to appear at St. John’s Chapel, on
Vlonday, there to go through the matrimonial
ceremony, gratis.
“Eveiy arrangement was made for this occa
sion, and at an early hour the galleries were fill
ed with highly respectable persons, male and
lemale, in order to witness the ceremony, and
.he body of the edifice was crowded, whilst the
greatest interest was manifested outside by
numerous spectators. The police, and Buck
law, the beadle, were in attendance to keep
order, and prevent any inconvenience. At
■ight o’clock in the moining lhe ‘happy couples’
ix’gan to arrive,an I they were ushered through
one door into pews. The reverend gentleman
at length took his station at the altar and com
menced his labor, when he continued to go
through the solemn ceremony amid the grea
test silence, until he successively solemnized,
23 marriages, some young, some middleaged,
and others old repentants. On Thursday, the
chapel was again crowded, and the ceremony
was performed with 23 more couple.”
Happiness.—Domestic happiness may be
called the happiness of lhe heart, while success
ful ambition to enjoy the applause of the world
is thatofthe head. Every well regulated mind
which looks to home as the well spring of joys
that gush forth and invite tne taste that satisfy
but never cloy it, will cultivate this garden of
human affections. The mind which is im
pelled by ambitious views gradually becomes a
stranger to the unruffled current of domestic
joys; his bark is launched upon a sea, troubled
oy storms which compel him to be on deck all
the time, and the cabin is closed to his vision,
while he is sustained only by the hope of reach
ing at length the goal ofhis desires, and mooring
sately in the haven oi peace. But he is like
the miser, who barters the treasures of the heart
for the gold which moth and rust do corrupt. —
He is continually counting his soruid gains for
which he has sacrificed the joys of existence
and hoarding up a day of separation from those
treasures which fferish in lhe using. Treasures
ot tne heart are no. ..;.u .l—
swell the pomp and pageantry of the public
hour. They are cultivated in privacy, they
are yielded.spontaneously to the smile of af
fection, while those who follow the promptings
of ambition are, if net doomed to disappoint
ment, compelled to delve for their treasure;
which, when acquired, is, especially when the
tempests of lite visit us, unable to purchase
anything but barren misery.
Cheap Boarding.—A thousand and one
stories have been told of the extieme cheapness
of living in the “Far‘West,” but as to the way
it isoccasionlly done we were never fully aware
until the matter was explained by Dan Mar
ble.
‘You keep bonders here madam,’ said an
individual, addressing the landlady of a house
upon the door ot which he saw “ cheap board
ing” painted.
‘We do,’ was the response.
‘ What do you charge a week ?’
‘ For board without lodging do you mean ?’
inquired the landlady.
‘ Yes madam.’
‘ Three meals a day, sir ?’
‘Yas madam.’
‘ Fifty cents is our regular price sir.’
‘Well,’ rejoined the inquirer,‘that’s cheap
enough at all events. Do you give your board
ers much of a variety ?’
‘ Yes, sir, something of a variety’—we give
them dried apples for breakfast, warm water
for dinner, arid let'em swell for supper!’
Philadelphia, April 2.
Death of Dr. Dcponceau.—duite a gloom
has been created in our scientific circles, by the
announcement of the death, y esterday morning,
of our distinguished and venerable citizen,
Peter S. Duponceau, L. L. D., at lhe advanced
age oi nearly ninety years. Few men in this
or any other'eommunity have attained to streh
a well earned reputation, for va, ied and profound
knowledge, as did Mr. Duponceau; and in his
departure science has lost a brilliant luminary I
Ile arrived in thiscounlry at the age of sixteen
■ ears, as an aid to Baron Steuben ; served with
ini during the Revolutionary war, and after
its close commenced a practice at the bar in
his city, in which he attained to st eat eminence.
The last twenty years ot his useful lite were de
voted ehtirely to science, and the .American
Philosophical Society, ot which he was Presi
lent, as be also was of many institutions ot a
-imilar character, will mourn in him a loss not
easily repaired.
Congress andics Proceedings.—The Rich
mond Whig says; The dilatory proceedings of
this body, are happily hit off in the following
article from the New Orleans Bee, which we
commend to lhe special attention.of the reader.
What more or better, can be expected of a Van
Buren majority, tearful ot committing their
leader at every step they take, and having his
interest solely at heart? His opinions upon all
subjects are vague, unsatislactory and undeier
minate—bearing one aspect in the North and
another in the South—fashioned to catch votes
in every quarter, and formed upon no other
principle. How then can his friends be ex
pected to act with decision upon any given sub
ject?
“ Three months of the session are now gone
and what are their fruits ?”
This pertinent enquiry is put by the Charles
ton Mercury, to the locofoco majority in Con
gress, and answered by that journal in two sig
nificant words. “ Discord and Disgust 1”
Thus far this has been about the sum and
substance of the achievements of the present
House of Representatives. With an over
whelming majority in that body lhe locofocos
appear incapable of transacting any business
whatever. The reproduction of two abstract
resolutions, passed amongst a number of others
by a locofoco convention, held at Baltimore in
1841, is the crowning glory of three month's
wrangling and confusion. The rules of the
House are not yet adopted. The people’s money
is wasted in endless ; ersonal squabbles, and the
halls of Legislation disgraced by fisticuffs and
Billinsgate.
Wherefore is this? If the party now in the
ascendant in the House of Representatives were
united upon public policies or held together by
common principles, does any one suppose that
three months ot a session would pass away be
fore a solitary act ot general utility has passed
through the incipient stagesot legislation? From
all that appears, it might be said that the present
majority deemed the floor of Congress an arena
for slang whang sH-toos with an occasional dis
play of pugilism as it is understood by the
“ fancy.”
The Mercury aptly adds :
“ Their course on all subjects has the bad ap
pearance ot popularity seeking -and that with
out any determinate notion of what will be popu
lar, or any boldness, out of conflicting tempta
tions, to fix upon a particular one. Catering
for all prejudicesand interests, they are certain
to provoke al, instead of winning. Dare they
to repeal the rule excluding Abolition petitions?
Dare they, in contempt of all professions, legal
ize the conversion ol the House of Representa
lives in a session of fanatics agitating civil strife
and the destruction of all the bonds of brother
hood between the people of these States ? They
appear to have met with that disposition—sup
posing they might make clear profit ol the Abo
lition vote for President—not thinking that they
must meet the denunciation of the whole South.
Thev seem indeed to have been surprised with
the spirit that met them, and to have come to
the conclusion that it is necessary to make favor
with the South as well as the North on the sub
ject. So with most profound policy they will
talk six months against the 21st Rule, and per
haps end by deferring it till after the Presidential
election. Was there ever a poorercontrivance,
the bungling dishonesty of which is apparent to
the very simplest! They cannot gain the con
fidence or favor even of that meanest, blindest,
basestofall parties, the Abolitionists themselves,
by such a piece ot manifest double dealing.—
And a few unworthy leaders are thus allowed
to stamp a whole party with treachery, incapa
city and cowardice. In the mean time one
whole country becomes disgusted—the confi
dence of the parly is destroyed,—all its claims
to honesty of purpose, and ca- acity to direct
the Government, are answered by pointing
to the disgra.efu' result of the present ses
sion. If these things go on, they will utterly
destroy Mr. Van Buren’s party. It is vain to
say he did not do it. He is their leader, their
general. Are they fighting against orders? If
so, what business has he to be their leader ? If
he is a man of straw, or their tool, does that
mend the respectability of his position? He
cannot help responsibility for what they do, and
their conduct this session has tended to nothing
so much as to his disgrace and defeat. They
have spread a blight ot equivocation and cow
ardly evasion over the whole noble creed that
made the cause of the Democratic party, in our
opinion, the cause ol the people, at the last Pr
esidential election. We will venture now to say
what the principles of the Democratic party are ?
A revenue Tariff ? Why, they rejected a plain
declaration to that effect, pressed upon them on
three several occasions. Are they protection
ists ? They deny it loudly. It appears then,
that on this the great subject ot contest, they are
neither one thing nor the other—are nothing and
anything.”
And is not this conduct of the majority indil
cative of the vagueness that characterises al
the opinions of their leader ? One might have
imagined that Mr. Calhoun and his Iriends un
derstood the character of Van Buren it anybody
in these United States did. The “ Sage ot
Lindenwold” [Ehue!] has stood often enough
between Calhoun and the Sun lor the South
Carolinian to know all his shape-, and propor
tions, subtle and elastic as he is. The politi
ians ot the palmetto Stale hold a p .rley with
equivocation, when they avow a contingency
upon which Mr. Van Buren can ever receive
their confidence. That he may get the vote of
that State is possible enough. Notions of policy
oversway at times, the judgments of. men, and
Mr. Van Buren has been voted for by South
Carolina. But it will be a vote, shorn of al.
the accompanying ciicumstances, that woulc
make it ct mplimentary to the receiver. It wil
be none the worse for that, in Mr. Van Buren’s
opinion ; he wants their votes, let ivho will
have their r- spect, but it is all humbug for Mr
Calhoun’s Iriends to say that the action of the
present Congress can in any wise alter their
opinions of the man. They do not sav so in
woids, but this hanging back upon a boisterous
Congress implies as much.
Men change, but principles never. —This
used to be one of lhe mottos ot lucolocoism, al
most as long ago as the flag ot “ Muhlenberg
and No Free Schoo.s” adorned some portions of
our Siate. But recent events show most con
clusively that the men of the locofoco party have
so materially changed their views, that the prin
ciples of “democtacy” must be changed also,
to keep up with them ! Hence the Cin tnnati
Inquirer recently promulgated the following:
The man who was a Democrat twenty-five
years ago, and entertains the principles now,
that the party did twenty-five years ago, and has
not progressed with the party, but remained sta
tionary, is just twenty-five years behind the
times and the party
We do not leel inclined to doubt that wisdom
is progressive; but there are some things that
become more doubtful as to their orthodoxy,the
more the enlightenment of the age tampers with
them. Twenty-five years ago, Mr. Monroe
was about entering upon his second Presidential
term, with our national principles so well es
tablished, that there was but one dissentient
voice to his re-election. Then Jefferson and
Madison and John Adams were living, the
mighty links between the men of the Revolution
and their posterity—the men who had assisted
in council and in the field to achie/e o,ur inde
pendence and form our Constitution.
What was intended by that Constitution ;
what were the actuating principles on which it
was based, who could know better than its
framers? But the wisdom of the times, at lhe
present era,pretend toknow more than its mighty
founders, and assume to interpret more correctly
than their own and all cotemporaneous exposi
tion ? What was a Jefferson to what a Benton
is—what a Madison to such a great demagogue
as Allen ; what did John Adams know that his
tory should dare compare him to Silas Wright!
There are giants in these days—there were pig
mies in those days !
.Principles n-<-orchange! What was con
sidered constitutional twenty-five veu>s ago,
when we had the advice ofthose who made our
constitution to guide us, must be constitutional
now. We grant you, in matter- ot mere ex; e
diency, there may be a change of opinion; for
expediency is the offspring of circumstances;
but tne fundamental laws of a nation, like the
guiding influences of the natural world, are im
mutable and eternal! If then a National Bank
received the sanction ofone, who watched the
cradled infancy’ ol our Union, penned its code
of laws and depaited in peace, when his eyes
had seen the fruition of his patriotic hopes, what
arrogance for your latter day’ democracy to pick
flaws in the sun and hold up the farthing rush
light of their pigmy’ intellect in opposition to lhe
brightnessot that sun! If from the passage ot
the first law under our constitution,
by the illustrious Washington, the ptmictple of
Protection to our native labor was recognized,
what absurdity for a Van Buren, to find out, a
half century afterwards, that it .was unconstitu
tional! How aptly does itillustrate the saying
that the young think the old fools, while the old
know the young to be so!
The constitution should be held sacred, and
beyond the reach of political tinkering, but every
tenth-rate country lawyer, who works his way
into Congress must now have his own exposi
tion and adom our archives with his commenta
ries! Is it any W’onder then that d.strustha*
usurped the place of confidmce—that the wel
disposed should stand amazed when they sec
the ruthless hand applied to all we have been
taught to venerate as sacre t! Twenty five
years ago, fools only saw errors in the mos'
magnificent scheme of government ever devised
by human intelligence; now-a-days every de
signing demagogue has his peculiar interpreta
tion to suit his own views and while one inter
■rets himself into Congress, in spite of both
constitution and law, another stands ready to
ustify the deed and gravely tells us that the
ratners of the constitution could not themselves
best explain what they intended by the instru
ment.
What was democracy twenty-five years ago,
is, and must be democracy while our country
exists! Time cannot alter the landmarks of
its principles—thev are blazing in every corner
ot our land and he who would follow them
cannot mistake them. They cannot progress,
cannot enlarge, cannot change! We may
frame more perfect laws for our moral govern
ment, but the same original corner stone must
bfe the basis on which to rest them'. The con-
stitution recognizes no partizan distinctions —
and parti-’ l ’ s-rit 'lie snort nt the popular
breath—th- . • ■ ... n <,n the breeze,—the
foam on the wave of ocean; ever mutable and
inconsant! Ifthen, “Democracy’’means a par
ticularexposition of the constitution, strict and
unvarying—he who was a democrat twenty
five years ago, must be now, or he has deserted
the constitutional basis of democracy ! The
principles of Democracy must be the same now
as then, and there can' be no deviation. Like
the polar star, it never changes its position, but
is the guiding light for all to steer by. This is
the very point on which modern democracy
deceives i sell, when if arrogates exclusiveness
to its partizans. The old irrahit ned doctrine?
have not changed, but men have strayed from
them; they have left the old eouncil-fires and
wandered in strange lands; they have deser ed
their old allegiance and sworn lea It / to a more
gaudy sovereign; they have forgotten their
primitive simplicity, and are now arrayed in
strange habits, and practice new modes of life
There dre some who ate unchanged, who are
the democrats with lhe principlesol the democray
twenty-five years ago—they are either scorn' d
or looked at as a race behind the spirit oflhe age.
They are however the unchanged MEN with
unchanged PRINCIPLES—they constitute the
WHIG PARTY.—
What has Congress Done?—Four months
have now elapsed since the Representatives ol
the People repaired to the national capitol for
the purpose of considering and legislating for
lhe vast interests of this Confederacy. In this
period, what have they done? With the abso
lute control of business in the popular branch,
what billshave they passed—what mischiefs
have they remedied, and what great measures
of relief have they devised, as an equivalent fbr
the immense sum of money which this session
has cost the country ?
They have viol;.ted the Constitution, by ad
mitting Representatives, (so called,) notorious
ly elected in defiance ol a constitutional law, to
seats in the House of Representatives.
They have refunded to Gen. Jackson a fine
whicn he incurred for violating the laws of his
country’ —and which the same party might w ith
ease have refunded years and years ago, but
which act of “justice," as they termed it, they
postponed until thev could make party capital
out of it, although they were all the while incur
ring the hazard ot seeing “ the Old Hero go
dou’n to the grave with the slain resting on his
character.”
These two are the only acts which have
passed Congress at the present session—these
are the fruits of four months labor, and the
equivalents for an expense of hundreds of thou
sands of the public treasure.
Can lhe People say to stiuh Representatives,
“ Well done,aood and faithful servants!”—Pe

Bailly and Franklin. —At a re< ent meeting
of the Fiench Academy, one of the members
read an interestingmemoir of Bailly, the famous
astronomer and a conspicuous personage in the
French Revolution. In the course cf the me
moir the author related the first interview of
Bailly and Franklin, as follows.
“ The illusirious delegate from Pennsylvania
entertained, on his arrival in France, the opin
ion that our countrymen love inordinately to
hearthemselves talk and would infinitely rather
speak than listen. When the philosopher and
the astronomer met lor the first time, the latter
kept silence, expecting a question from lhe
illustrious stranger. Franklin, on his side, did
notopen his mouth ; at the end of a halt hour,
neither havingyet uttered any thing, Bailly took
out his snuff-box and offered a pinch to the
other mute. Franklin motioned that he did not
use snuff; another halt-hour elapsed in the
same way, after which Bailly having risen to
depart, Franklin seized his hand, saying, ‘very
well, Mr. Bailly—very well, indeed !’
Childhood.—What can be a truer picture ot
man in creation, I han the position ofa child in
its own home? How silently, yet how surely,
does the domestic rule control him, during his
rising and his rest, his going out and coming
in, apportioning his duties, his mirth, ordering
secretly the very current ofhis thoughts, wheth
er it sparkle with gladness or overflow with
tears. Yet how rarely has he any painful sense
of the constraining force which is every mo
ment on hitn. Hemmed in on every side by a
power mote vigilant than the most jealous des
potism, yet look at his open brow, and say
whether creature was more free—and why?
Not because childish minds are destitute of self
will, that woultj seduce them into tiansgression,
but because where reverence and love make
melody in the heart, the temper is charmed and
sleeps. Light, therefore, as the weight of tie
circumambient atmosphere upon the bodj’ is the
pressure of home duty upon the child; easy by
the constancy and completeness with which it
shuts him in; inseparable from the vital ele
ments ofhis being. His life is an exchange of
obedience for protection; he gives submission,
and is sheltered. Folded in the arms of an unx
speakable affection, he is screened from the an
iety of self-care ; and yet he is left alone upon
the infinite plain of existence, to choose a path
by the aim, sad lustre of his own wisdom ; Jmt
it is led gently on by the unexlinguislied lamp
of a father’s experience, and the meek stat light
ofa mother’s love. In strain: ness and danger,
how close he keeps to the hand that leads him ;
in doubt, how he looks up to interpret the eye
that speaks to him; in loss and loneliness, with
what cries he sits down to lament his freedom.
He ask”, but claims nothing; his momentary
forwardness stilled, perhaps bv a mere word;
and if no' yet, his spontaneous return, after an
interval, to his aci ustotned ways, confesses that
in the order of obedience is the truest liberty.—
Miss Bremer.
ts-j-It has been repeatedly stated in the public
papers, as a rumor, ihat Mr. Pakenham, the
British Minister at Washington, has signified
to the Government of the UnitedSiates, that the
British Government bad no purpose of acquir
ing Texas lor itself. We have not given hith
erto full credit to this report, not knowing on
what authority it rested. But we have now in
formation, which is to be fully relied on, of the
fact that Mr. Pakenhatn has assured the Gov
ernment of the United States that he is authoris
ed to say that the British Government, under no
circumstances, would receive Texas as a pro
vince or dependency of its own.— Boston Mer
cantile Journal.
Sarrilrge.— Some sacrilegious villains broke
Into lhe Sansom street Baptist Church, on MonJ
day, and stole from the Vestry Room all the
carpels purchased to replace those burned bv a
former fire al the same place. The contribu
tion boxes were also broken open, and rifled of'
their contents.
We earnestly hope that the villians, who
have repeatedly desecrated this church, may be
detected and brought to justice.— Philo. V. S.
Gazette.
Names.—lt is a tact that sometimes parents
are puzzled to find names for their children—the
vocabulary, sacred and profane, havingalmos
run out. Scriptural names, since the time ot
the Pilgrims, have been under the necessity of
giving way to the fanciful—the sentimental and
the ornamentive. An eccentric parent tn Ro
chester, wishing a name for his first gill, drew
out six letters from the alphabet at random
which made Xyomia. Fantastic enough.
Sad Accident. —A Montreal paper states
that on the Bth inst., a Mr. Ross, at Yonge, in
Canada East, being alarmed in the night by the
loud barking ofhis dogs, got up to ascertain the
cause, and in reaching down an over-coat from
a peg, in the dark, accidentally threw down a
gun loaded with buckshot. In falling it went
off, and the contents were lodged in the bosom
ofhis wife and an infant son sleeping on her
breast, killing both instantly.
Melancholy Marine Disaster—We re
gret to learn from the Richmond and Norfolk
papers, that the schooner Jane, Capt. Vickers,
was discovered on Tlititsday morning, at
Picket’s whan', tihovv B’-ro iida Hundred,
oumi to o.c wa«v*.- ■ .. . ■

The boat was 'picked up in Hie river many
miles below, the tackle and gun wales shewing
that ii had been separated from the davits by
fire.
Mothers in Turkeij.— Miss Pardoe alludes to
a “beautiful feature in the character of the
Turk, viz: reverence of the mother. Their wives
may advise or reprimand unheeded, but their mo
ther isjan oracle, consulted, confided in, listened to
with respect ordefetenee,honored to the lastj’our
and remembered with affection andregardeven
beyond thegrave.” “Wives may die, say they,
“and we can replace them, children may perish
and others may be born to us, but who shall
restore the mother when she passes away and
is seen no more ?”
Lead and Copper.—-The whole amount of
lead shipped from Galena and Dubuque during
the last year, is estimated at 106,486,380 pounds.
The whole amount ot copper 95,000 pounds.
Total value, near 83,000,000.
TBrctwA of Promise.—Anna Maria Hand, ot
Cambridge, Mass., has recovered $575 of Ed
win Davenport, for a breach of promise of
marriage. The defendant forsook the first love
for a rich widow.
A Bustle, in describing us hardships to
the editor of the New World newspaper, says :
“If it is our prominence that makes us hated,
is it not some apology that we modestly keep in
the rear?”
I’m ready for either.—James Knowles, ot
Point Judith, in the last war, lived in an ex
posed situation, near the ocean, and never went
to bed without having bis gun well charged by
his side. One night there was a violent thunder
gust, which shook the house to its foundation :
“ Husband, husband,” screamed the wife,
“get up, the British have landed,'or the day ol
judgement has come, and 1 dont know which.'
“ By gosh,” said Knowles, springing up an.‘
seizing the musket, “I’m ready for either.”
A Scotch paper states that during a storm ir
Shetland lately, a fisherman had his watch melt
ed by lightning in his pocket, without injury to
himself or his clothes.— Exchange paper.
We should like to know where lhe lightning
went to, after melting the watch!

Welcome, old friend ! aye? welcome as of old,
When to my shoulder prest:
Or clasped upon my breast.
I trod with thee o’er plains oi wintry cold,
Each track in blond, from naked footsteps, rolled,
Thus, braved the frozen snow,
Thus, met the foe !
This nld King’s-arm! another day, I trow,
Than when the pealing hnrn
Snnnded on Concord’s morn,
Or. hurrying from the unyoked plough
To Bunker Hill’s eternal brow.
We saw. along our foemen’s line.
Thee and thy glittering kindred shine,
As through their bristling van
The fiery volley ran
More welcome were thy charms.
When to our beating drum' and colors blown,
We grasped thee for ntir own :
And saw our foe’s dejected train
Pile such as thee and thine on Saratoga’s plain
u Field of the grounded arms I ”
Once more, methinks, in line I stand,
Once more I hear the old command—
Order !”—she strikes upon the ground.
Staunch as of old the well known sound •
“ Load I”—from her barrel as the rod upsprings,
Clear as a bell she rings !
I warm to thee, old friend, and feel
< Thy heart is true as steel I >
Yet wert thou battered with the marks of glory,
Memories of honor won.
Like the old trophy full of Fieedom’s story,
The Drum of Bennington !
Thon wen a thing, oh. not io sell, bnt keep
Till Freedom’s final deep!
And could they sell thee, ancient friend ! forget
How once thy polished tube with blood was wet ?
The more than fb’ry. ’hrongh thee, that runs
From fathers down io sons?
And count tha memory of their an in vain,
Thus bought of old on many a crimson plain 7
Be sure, when things like thee they rate with gold,
Their owner’s fai'h is false, his honor cold
And he himseif, light weight, is bought and sold

A ROMAN IDYL.
Oh! blame not, friend, with scoff unfeeling,
The gentle tale of grief and wrong,
Which, all th? pain of life revealing,
Yet tefrefaff- peace by ihnughiful song.
The labcseap’j round us wide expanded
As ere was heard the name of Rome ;
And Rome, though fallen, our souls commanded,
In this, her empire’s earliest home.
Her brightness beamed on each far mountain,
Her life made green the grass we trod,
Her memory haunted still the fountain,
And spread her shadows o’er lhe sod.
Her ruins told their tale of glory,
Decteed to that eternal sky ;
And through that ancient grove, her story
With sibyl whisper seem’d to sigh.
The pile her wealthiest mourner builded,
In glimpse we caught through ilex gloom
Metella’sTower, by sunshine gilded,
That beams alike on feast or tomb.
An<l on this plain, not yet benigh'ed,
’Mid awful ages mouldering there,
Young hand* in new-blown flowers delighted,
Young eyes look’d bright in sunniest air.
Till we, Viterbo’s wine cup quaffing,
Which fairer lips refused to
Could win by jest those lips t<> laughing,
And veil’d in folly wisdom’s face.
But say. my friend, thou sage mysterious,
What Nymph, what Muse disown’d the strain
Which badeour heedless mirth be serious.
And woke our ears to nobler pain 7
That legend grave, of plain and highland.
With Rome’s gray ruin strewn around,
Is not a soft Calypso’s Island,
Nor fades at Truth’s evoking sound.
High thoughts in words of quiet beauty
Accord with visions grand as these,
And song’s imperishable duty
Has holier aims than but to please,
word and Image deeply wedded.
By cadence apt, and varied rhyme,
To rouse the soul in sloth imbedded,
And time its powers io life sublime.
By loftier shows of man’s large being.
Than man’s dim actual houi displays,
To clear our eyes for purer seeing.
And nerve the flagging spirit’s gaze.
By strains of bold heroic pleasure,
And action strong as thought conceives,
By many a doom resounding measure
That best our selfish woes relieves;
By these to stir, by these to brighten,
By these to lift the soul from earth.
The Poet dares our joys to frighten,
And thrills the dirge of lazy mirth.
Ye Rums, dust of empires vanish’d,
Ye mountains, clad with countless yeais,
From your great presence ne’er be banish’d
Sad songs'hat live in earnest ears:
Sad songs, the music of all sorrow.
Profound and calm as night’s blue deep:
Accurst the dreams of any morrow
When man will feel he cannot weep.
J. S.

“I HAVE BEEaN TRUE TO THEE.”
“ When the winged comes back >o revisit the soul in
some moment of deep lernembrance. however long the
interval, does not the ethereal tone that first gaveit life
flutter again at the breast, and chime along the nerves
and make it impossible for the heart to change iis feal
ty I Do not the hands and the arms involuntary extend
themselves toward the source of that renumbered mu
sic and the visited soul breathe forth the assurance,
heard perhaps with joy in Heaven, ‘1 have been true to
thee ’ ”
I have been true to thee I There’s not a hope
That stirs my soul, nor dreamings cf the past—
No place beneath the bright ethereal cope
But I have form# thee ; as the tempest east
Its shadow on my soul, before thee,
Had overtaken me I thought of thee,
And still think of the thee, as I saw thee last,
When fond/liope whispered to tny heart that we
Should cross together life’s tempestuous sea !
I have been true io thee! tho’ brightest forms
Ol human beau'y spring np in my way.
Yet still the flame til on tiiino altar warms
And purifies my heart. Onward 1 stray,
And see the lover’s altar place decay—
Unto some other idol turns his eyes,
Forgetting that which o’er h.m held' such sway:
And I look upward to the far eff skies.
And know tnou wait’st lor me in Paradise !
1 have been true to thee I In summer eves,
Alone. I sit beneath lhe clustering vine,
And listen to the whispering of the leaves ;
1 watch the stars like angel faces shine,
And think the softest ones lesemble thine!
Shall I not know thee wher. I reach the place
AVheie angels make their home? Is there no sign 7
In there not left with thee Nome well-known grace
By w hich fheh ng lost lov’d one I may trace 7
Yes ! I shall know thee by thy gentle voice
If 1 should pass the gatesol Eden blind;
No tones but thine could make my heart rejoice,
None ejse its deepest chore's could ever find !
Oh ! tell me not that we shall leave behind
The power of recognition, ’iweie to make
The Parent of our every good unkind !
Oh ! this would be from many a soul lo lake
Long cherish’d hopes—lhe links of heaven to
break !
I have been true to tbee ! I sit beside
Life’s stream, a patient watcher, until He
Shall summons me to cross its foamy tide,
A welcome summons, w hich shall make rue free,
And take thV exiled one to home and thee !
I shall have pass’d life’s sorrowing ordeal thro',
But as a trcublejl dream ’twill seem to be !
And, as we meet thro’ heaven’s high dome of bine.
The welcome words shall swell “I have been true!”

Wherever and by whomsoever they have been
used, throughout the length and brvauth of this
widely extended country, have unifotmly and
invariably received the approval of (he public
voice. Upwards oi 900,000 boxes of these Pilis
have been sold, and not a single instance oi dis
satisfaction, with respect to their effects upon the
system of those who have made trial of them,
has ever come to the knowledge of the proprie
tors or their agents; but on the other hand, inou
sands of testimonials have been given of lhe un
paralleled excellency of this preparation. They
ire extremely mild in their operation, neither
causing sickness of the stomach, or any other
unpleasant sensation in the system, as is fre
quently the case with medicinegiven to act upon
'he bowels; hence multitudes, who have been
unable to take other pills or preparations of med
icine, on account of their nauseating effects, use
these pills without the slightest disagreeable feel
ings. They possess not only cathartic, but also
tonic or restorative qualities; and such is the rare
combination of the cathartic and restorative pro
perties, that tbe system is not reduced and left
in a torpid and costive state y their use, as is
the case with almost every other preparation
heretofore offered to the public as a remedy in
bilious complaints. But while the stomach and
bowels are freed from al) morbid impurities, they
are at the same time invigorated and brought hi
to healthful action; any person making a single*
trial ol these pills will find this to be strictly true.
Indeed herein consist a and is found that grand
desideratum in medical science sought after from
age to age by the most distinguished sons of the
healing art.
The following is from Mr. Isaac M. Thomas.
Merchant, at i alladega Springs, Alabama.
Talladega Springs, Talladega Co., . a.
, August 17th. 18 L *
1 his is to certify, that I have been afflict; i with
sick headache, dyspep ia and liver con iaint
mid costivcness for the last eight or nine years’
during which time I had taken, as Welle I re’
■ collect, about sixty loxes of Beckwith* ?Uia
twelve boxes of Peters’ Pills, and a nut* er of
Champion** and Brandreth’s Pills, all of i hich
afforded me but little or no relief. At was
recommended to try Dr. Spencer’s Vegc able
Pills, and well I did. for I never had but or. .at
tack of the sick heacache after 1 commence!, tak
ing the pills (now about six months,) and J can
didly confess, that 1 have derived more real ben
efit from the use of Spencer’s Pills, than tr i all
tlie other medicines and Dills that 1 have ever
taken, and I would earnestly recommend (hem
to all, as being iu my opinion, the best medicine
in use for all lingering complaints. The pills
have done me so much good, that 1 wouh. not
feel willing to be without them for five dollirs a
box; and I cannot but feel very grateful to Dr.
Spencer for having prepared such n valuable
medicine, and the distribution of ii is cunfet ing
a very great favor on the public, as it is a thing
of the utmost importance, that every fa ully
t should have a supply of Dr. Spencer’s truly valu
able pills constantly on hand.

They have long been in general use in the princi
pal cities in France and he U. States, by those
persons afflicted with this class of disease; and

powerful preparation has won for itself a name

box of these Pills, and a statement of some of
the most prominent symptoms is laid down as a
guide to the > atient in distinguishing ope form of

the result of -he treatment ofone hundred cases
in one of the most distinguished hospitals in
France.
