< ING MACHINE, constructed without Saws or Kits.
The Inventor of this Machine now has the pleasure of an
swering the numerous inquiries from Cotton Planters, res
pecting the performances and results of this Gin, It has
been fully tested hy cleaning the entire crop of a large
planter near Columbia, 8. 0., {a certificate from whom is
appended,) enhancing the value of the Cotton one and a
half to two cents per lb. over that cleaned hy any Saw Gto.
Tins advanced price more than pays for a Machine in one
year's uverage crop, the coot of it being only $2,%0. It tfirus
out equally as much or more, than any Saw Gin; is more,
simple and durable, perfectly safe to tbe gtnner, iuasmudp
as be cannot cut himself; and the great danger of fire, Ay
Diction, in other Machines is entirely obviated.
Arrangements are completed, to build these Machines

Mr. Parkhnrst has been, for some weeks, at my plantation
adapting his Cotton Gin, originally intended for Long Cot

and the quality of the cotton t* /nr better thnn Ihuve
ever wen. By this process of cleaning cotton, the staple
Is uninjured, while all the motes and false seeds are almost

THE DEATH OF HENRY CLAY.
BY J. B. BAJUUCK. •
A mighty one is fallen—he the high
And chosen von of freedom and of peace,
Stricken like an old eagle from hi* height.
When earth and heaven upon his vision blent.
Is falien to the earth. Yea, proud and great—
Proud in the majesty of high-born thought,
And great beyond what other men conceived,
He stood alone, the glory of his age.
But now, aias! the pyrimid that bade
Defiance to the many storms of earth,
Rearing its front above the lowering clontls
That veiled all else beneath, evading still
The lightnings that around it wildly played,
Amid the strife of long and weary years,
U crumbled into du?t. All darkiy o'er
Its ruins now a million hearts are bowed
As to a broken shrine.
The tongue whose tones
In thunder thrilled a nation's listening ear,
The warning voice of eloquence sublime,
Whose lightest tone was as a lightning j*eal
Thrilling his country with its zeal and fire,
Are silent now forever. The high brow,
Serene and placid with the calm of thought,
In veiled iu deepest darkness. The keen eye,
Piercing the mystic veil of hidden things,
A* with prophetic vision to unfold
The dark, deep mysteries of time to man,
Is closed on earth forever, and the lips
That spake such wisdom as none others spake,
Are sealed in silence deep.
Columbia! thou,
The favored land of freedom, and the home
Os the oppressed, oh put thy mourning on.
Let sorrow gloom thy mount.tins, and thy vales
Take up the mourning of thy hopeless sons;
Ami dark with viewlfOMtvef,
And all ye little streams, with one acclaim,
The wailing of the nation, since for him
The idol of the free, the pride and boast
Os his dear native land.
Who now shall guard
The helmet and the destiny of State,
When storms and darkness wiidly hover round,
With such a gallant hand ? Os statesmen who
Shall stand alolt, above all faction free,
Above all strife of passion, prejudice,
And view the raging of contending storm*,
With courage so sublime ?
Alas! alas!
The substance hatii to earth no shadow left;
Like a bright rainbow faded from the sky,
His spirit hath departed, and deep gloom
Is hovering like a funeral pall above
The sunshine of his life. Yet in our hearts,
And in our memories, like a deathless thought,
And on the altar of our country’s fame,
All bright and fresh and lasting as the earth,
His name, his deeds will there forever live,
A glory and a grandeur of the past, •
A beacon through the unknown years to come.
Glasgow', Ky.
New Invention.— The Boston Bee Bays that John
L. Newel, of that City, ha» filed an application for
a patent for an improved burning fluid lamp and
can, which promise* to render the use of burning
fluid entirely safe, in the hands of the ignorant and
cureless. It is ono of the most ingenious and sci
entific inventions of the age, and renders an expia
tion utterly impossible, even if tiie flame is brought
in contact with the evanescent fluid at the mouth
or orifice of the lamp or can. A contrivance bo
wonderful and ingenious is seldom presented to
the public, and will mark an era in mechanic arts.
At first view it would seem impossible to effect
such a result as that which has been fully demon
strated in this improvement, but the improvement*
being bused upon a well-known law of combus
tion, there can be it is said, no doubt of its efficien
cy. The invention will be bailed with delight, ac
cidents which are now so frequent from the use of
explosive burning fluids in ordinary lamps, will
disappear from the records of cuusualities in the
newspapers, and humanity will acknowledge its
indebtedness to the inventor of this cheap novel,
and useful invention.
Stf.auhoats Lost on the Western Waters.—
The St. Louis Republican of the 28th ult., contains
a statement of the steamboats destroyed on the
Western waters since the commencement of steam
navigation, in 1810, up to the present time. Tlie
number sunk by snugs and other obstructions
amounts to 578. Tlie total tonnage is ascertained
by record iu tlie euse of 480 of this number, and
computed lor the rest, making a total, of 85,258.
First cost of boats so lost $7,113,010. Total de
preciation while running, $3,065,890. Thero have
been 100 boats destroyed by fire during tlie same
period, causing a loss of $1j817,425. The explo
sions number 209. I’ecumary loss $2,780,118.
Loss of Life, 1,440. Wounded, 838. In many
eases of loss of life, the record is silent. The
following estimate is reasonable—it may even fall
short of the reality:
Estimate of persons killed in 209 cxplosionli, avera
aging 11 persons in each case 2,209
Estimate of persons wounded, averaging 9 to every 1
explosion 1,881
Supposed total, killed and wounded 4,090
The record of bouts destroyed by collisions is
somewhat incomplete, wc should think. It com
prises a list of 45 boats, whose original cost was
$533,906; depreciation while in service, $153,973;
and final loss $379,933.
A Big Tree.—A late number of the Alta Cali
fornia says there is a tree now standing on tlie
banks of the Klamath, near its mouth, whose trunk
is thirty-three feet in diameter. There is also u
tree near Rod Wood Camp, whoso trunk at tine
ground is hollowed out, forming as it were, a room,
it is churred inside its f hough n fire hud been built
ugiiiust it, which hud burned through the hark,
and caught the dry wood in the heart of tlie trunk,
hollowing it out. The upper part of this cavity is
shaped comically, running to a point about fifteen
feet above the ground. A friend informs us that
lie and several companions rode into this hole witli
niuo mules, and subsequently slept thero with
seventeen other persons! They rolled in a log
some six feet feet long, and built a fire inside,
the smoko drawing up and passing out of a small
cavity above, widen served as a window!
Martyrs of the Revolution. —An association
was formed in Brooklyn, N. Y., on tlie 80th ult.,
for tlie purpose of removing tlie remains of the 11,-
500 martyrs of the Britisli prison ships, now piled
up beneath the Navy Yard wall in that city, to a
more decent and appropriate j.lacc. It is designed
to re-inter these reiiets on Fort Greene, (Wash
ington Park,) and to erect a suitablo monument
over them, to mark the spot forever where they lie.
A movement of this kina was heretofore made, but
fell through from lack of energy. Tlie character
ot tlie men who have taken it in hand now, how
ever, is said to boa guaranty that the project will
be pushed forward and finally consummated.
American Steamer for the Danube. —lt is a
significant fact that engines are building in New
York for a steamer to navigate the waters of central
Europe. American genius lias not only been heard
of at that remote point, liut is appreciated. The
highost sneed attained by steamers navigating
those waters does not exceed fourteen or fifteen
miles an hour.
The Wanderer's Return. —The son of Justice
Utica, for whom a cull for information
lias beep 0k several weeks advertised, has return
ed to liis parents, lie lias been to New York,
Philadelphia, &c. This erratic genius (says the
Utica Gazette) is only nine years of age, and this
is tlie third or fourth of his expeditions. Ho starts
oft - without preparation, funds or baggage, as the
humor prompts him, and commends himself to the
good graces mid kindness of conductors, hotel
keepers and others, hy his handsome and intelli
gent appearance and good conduct. In fact all his
wants seem to be attended to by those who become
interested in him. On iiis two last expeditions, lie
took the precaution to travel under an assumed
name, to escape any embarrassment from tbe pa
rental advertising. He is an exemplary child in
every respect save this incorrigible disposition to
rove.
Death of a Veteran Soldier. —Another gallant
defender of New Orleans, at the time of the Brit
ish invasion, lias just died. We refer to General
Gabriel Viliere, who departed this life, on the 6th
instaut, at his residence in tlie parish of St. Ber
nard, near tlie city. When the Britisli advance
guard stealthily approached tlie city, by Bayou Bi
euveuu, he was surprised in his house, but escaped
from the guard, notwithstanding u hot and perilous
pursuit, und reaching tlie American camp, commu
nicated to General Juckson the first information of
tlie near approach of the enemy. This enabled
that gallant commander so to arrange his forces, as
to cheek tlie Britisli forces, in the first preliminary
battle on the very day of tlie announcement, and
so saved the city.
Gen. Viliere was highly esteemed, and was buried
with military honors.
Bmr Canal Across Florida. — The legislature of
Alabama, at its last session, adopted resolutions
memorializing Congress in favor of a ship canal or
railway across the peninsular of Florida, The
subject is attracting considerable attention just now,
both in Mobile mnl New Orleans, and in the Gulf
States generally. Men and presses of all parties
unite in desiring Congress to engage in the work.
The Mobile is unable to understand,
however, how the friends of Gen. Fierce in that
lntithde can obtain their consent to support him,
when it is known that lie is deadly hostile to works
of internal improvement by the General Govern
ment. Should lie be elected, it is believed that
there will be no possibility of pitting an appropri
ation. during his term, fo'rsuch an undertaking.—
Sac. Rtp.
Mayor of Mejipius. —Some difficulty appears to
have arisen about the eligibility of Mr. Lotland, the
Mayor of Memphis, Teun., to hold the office to
which he was recently elected. He received a ma
jority of the votes east at the election, and was reg
ularly sworn in, but a eommittee appointed by the
Common Council to investigate the qualifications
of the Mayor and Aldermen eleet, reported that he
did not possess the requisite property qualification. I
Mr. L., in an address to the Board of Aldermen
elect, asserts that he possesses all the qualifications
required by the charter, and says that he has the
best legal opinions in favor of his eligibility. He
therefore proposes to perform the duties ot the
Mayoralty until the meeting of the Common Law
anJ Chancery Court of Memphis, which was to
have assembled on the sth inst., when a statement
of all the facts in the ease is to be prepared and
placed on the docket of the court for its decision.
Another Revolutionary Hero Gone.— Major i
Salmon Moulton, of Floyd, N. V., expired at his j
residence in that town, on the —d ult. He held a j
major's commission in the war of the Revolution,
through which he served until, overpowered, he
was taken prisoner on the field of battle, at Long
Island. His sufferings in prison ship, and subse
quently in the sugar-house at New I ork, until
exoh&iijrcd, wore severe in the extreme. Major
Moulton was a highly educated gentleman, and in
all the relations of Hie enjoyed the wannest esteem
of all who had the honor of his acquaintance. He
maintained bis reason to the last, and died with the
utmost composure.
The Land Warrant Fraud. —Mr. Jchn W. Lat
sou, tlie acting attorney of the United States in the
prosecution of the parties recently arrested on the
charge of forging claims for land warrants, <te., lias
entered a nullt fnttjui as to Mr. Edward r. .No**
sen, and certifies that he is fnllv satisfied of Mr.
Nexsen's entire innocence of uli guilty knowledge
or participation in the alleged frauds on the Gov
ernment. Mr. Rufus Claggett, it is said, lias also
been discharged. Messrs. Merrihne aud Gris

A like ratio of increase betweea 1850 and 1860,
as there was between 1840 and 1850, would pro
duct the following results in 1860:
Ratio of increase from
Cities. ' 1840 to 1850. Results.
New Orleans, 17 per cent. 140,769
Cincinnati, 149 percent. 287,438
Hi. Louis, 873 per cent. 368,271
Louisville, 104 percent. 88,119
Pittsburg, 130 per cent. 107,1 S 2
It is hardly right to suppose that the ratio of in
crease will continue us large as the cities grow in
size, but it is altogether reasonable to believe that
their relative ratio will be nearly preserved, which
is sufficient to show that St. Louis is destined to
be the largest city in the valley of the Mississippi
in 1860—if she be not now, upon two years’ in
crease.
It is to be remembered that in the census of 1850
St. Louis lost some S or 9,000 population, from the
fact of her outgrowing her chartered limits. All
north of Kocky Branch, including Bremen ami
Lowell additions, weie left out, and on the west,
8 H beyond Eighteenth street and Second Catonde
let avenue—which, if included, would swell her
population more thau u tenth, and also her per
centage of increase.
It is also well to remember that her census was
taken the year immediately following the two great
est calamities that ever befell her—the cholera and
the great fire of 184!*, aud before she had time to
recover from their effects.
If her chartered limits embraced the whole city,
she is now probably the largest city in the great
valley.
This is no sudden or impulsive start in her
growth, for she held nearly the same relative posi
tion toward her sister cities of tin* valley, between
1830 and 1840—as the following will show;
New Orleans increased from 1830 to 1540,105 per cent.

The London Times thus adverts to the influence
of American affairs on those of the British Empire:
‘The march of events in each succeeding year
convinces us more and more that there is no oc
currence bejond the limits of the British Empire
and out of our control, which exercises so great
and important an influence on our own welfare,
and on the general progress of the world, ns the
character and policy of the American Government.
It is not, therefore, without the deepest interest
and solicitude, that we watch the somewhat ca
pricious operations by which the composition of
that Government is to be determined for the next
four years.
“The relations of tho British Empire and tho
American Union have gradually twined themselves
into a connexion, strengthened by common inter
ests and common freedom, which is alike distinct
from the close and onerous ties of a mother coun
try to her colonies, and from the frigid or political
alliance ot two foreign States. Between ourselves
and the United States there is no dependency, and,
strictly speaking no alliance; butthcreis identity
in the first interests of industry, of peace, and of
mutual respect.”
The Giieat Maovak. —The Tribune intimates
that the use which has been or is to be made of
the *90,000 “material aid” afforded to Kossuth
cannot prudently be statid just now, ns the des
pots of Europe might take advantage of the infor
mation to thwart his plans. Our own opinion is,
that it is of not the slightest consequence to them
what he does with it.
The Tribune wishes to know how much fee have
contributed toward the aforesaid 490,000, that we
should bo so anxious to learn what has become of
it. Wo answer, not tho first red cent; exeept tliut
we were foolish enough to purchase some seven
dollar tickets to the press dinner soon after Kos
suth's arrival, about which wo have had qualms of
conscience ever since. According to our present
views, wo would much sooner throw our money
into the sea than give it to Kossuth, provided wo
believed there was any danger that lie would ex
pend it in fomenting a new insurrection in Hunga
ry. If thrown into tho sea it would do no hurt:
if employed in fomenting insurrection, it would
entail fresh miseries upon a brave but unfortunate
people. Tho time may possibly come when Hun
gary will be free; but we have seen enough of
Kossuth to be satisfied that he will not bo the au
thor of her freedom. Had he been a wise man,
she might have been essentially free already.— Jour,
of Commerce.
Fish Stokv.—A correspondent of the Portland
Transcript tells a story quite as large as we can
swallow:
lie recollects an anecdote that was told many
years ago by a gentleman of Eustport, respecting
a cat’s fishing, that mayhap you have heard. The
gentleman alluded to had his shop or store over
a wharf, under which the tide ebbed and flowed,
and in the floor was a trap door used for various
purposes, and through which he was accustomed
to let down a line to catch a fish now and then for
pussy’s dinner. Ono day, having to attend to a
customer, he was surprised to see pussy go to it
and touch it gently. This led him to watch her,
when presently a fish caught hold, and mistress
Grimalkin immediately commenced hauling in
the line with one paw, securing the slack
hauled in by placing the other upon it as fast as
hauled in. In this way blic at last secured the
fish. Alter that, said my friend, I baited the hook
and let her fish for herself, and hundreds have
seen her catch her own dinner.
Lace Manufactures. —The manufactures of silk
laces at Nottingham, attribute the dullness in their
t rade to tho laws of France, which rigidly exclude
from that country the lacc manufactures of Eng
land. The exquisite taste displayed by the Parts
milliners, renders them the arbiters of fashion for
the world. If the English luces could be introdu
ced into Paris, the consumption of the article would
improve the style, and the French milliners would
use English laces in their fabrics, and tints open
three markets, viz: France, England, and tho Uni
ted Stales. The two latter take their cue from Pa
ris, and unless fabrics are received in Paris as the
style to he worn, the law of fashion elsewhere re
jects them with scorn. A duty of six per cent, is
proposed in lieu of the present prohibition.
American Mechanical Skill. —The London cor
respondent of the Philadelphia American in a
recent letter says—
Some months ago a reward of two hundred
guineas was offered by Mr. Ilobbs to any locksmith
who succeeded in picking the celebrated Ameri
can Hank Lock, which is now generally known in
England as “ Hobbs’ Lock.” The money was de
posited in the Hank of England by Mr. Ilobbs, and
several ineffectual attempts have made by
English locksmiths to pick the American lock.
About ten days ago a person applied to Mr. Hobbs
for one of liis looks, for the avowed purpose of
picking it. He was a skilful English mechanic,
and he appeared to have great confidence in his
ability to accomplish liis self imposed task. A
room was freely granted to him at Mr. Hobbs’
establishment in Clicapside, and day after day lie
labored incessantly. After ho had worked one
wed- he abandoned'his task, and when he returned
the lock, he remarked, “Mr. Hobbs, your Amer
ican lock cannot be picked.” It may now be said
that America can beat England in this important
article of locks.
Another Theatrical Emecte.— Cleveland, Ohio,
scctps to be the favorite place for enacting parts
not put on tho bills, by the theatrical profession of
that place. ' Herds a little affair between two fe
males of that city, which came off recently, which
we copy from the Forest City:
Mrs. C. F. Adams, an actress, while going thro’
Centre street, met Mrs. Morris, the wife of Tom
Morris, of the theatre, and basely assaulted her iu
a manner exceeded only by tho ferocity of a tigress.
Then commenced a scene more easily imagined
than described. Both eomhatantSj bemg terribly
enraged, fought like wild cats, tearing each other's
pretty curls, blacking their bright love-lit eyes,
and scattering the laces snd silks in generous pro
fusion from one side of the street to the other.—
But, like everything sublunary, the fight soon had
an end, Mrs. Adams carrying off the laurels of vic
tory, and leaving the conquered party on the field
of glory.
The New Bedford Mercury publishes a letter
from Captain Georken of the Bremen whale ship
Averick Hcineken, detailing the effects of the
practiced application of electricity to the taking of
whales. Captain Georken, iu a letter dated New
Zealand, Dee., 1951, writes as follows:
“The first experiment we made with the new
invention was upon a shark, applying the electrici
ty from the machine with one magnet. The fish
after being struck instantly turned over on its side,
and after we had poured in upon him a stream of
electricity for a few moments by turning the han
dle of the machine, the shark became stiff as a
piece of wood. We next fell in with a blackfish.
As soon as thewhale iron was thrown into him and
the machine handle turned, the fish began to sink.
The aerator then ceased turning the machine
handle, and the fish immediately rose, when the
machine was again set in motion, upon which the
fish lay stiff' on the surface of the water, and was
taken alongside of the ship. At this time we made
use of the four magnet machine.”
Destruction of the “Old Fort." —AVc regret to
announce (says the Fort Wavne, Ind., Sentinel. l
that the venerable old Block Souse, the last relic
of Wayne Fort at this place, is being pulled down.
The timbers arc perfectly sound, and the building
might have stood for another generation, to point
outthespot rendered famous in the annajs of the
West by many a scene of heroic bravery and da
ring. Nothing will remain to show that this was
once “Mad Anthony's” strong bold in the very
heart of the savage enemy’s country. Its memo
ries will in a few years vanish; the “old settlers”
will be removed, and the new ones will be igno
rant of the jiist history of this once celebrated post.
Aw York and Sandy Hook Telegraph Company.
—A number of gentlemen have been engaged for
the last six months, in getting up a Magnetic Tele
graph line, between New York and Sandy Hook,
and witliia the last fortnight eight miles of the line

residue will be finished before the expiration of

PORTRAITS OF THE PEOPLE.
From ReynobCe Miscellany.
NINA ELHINGHAM:
A LOVE TALK.
Ladies in the present day dress very absurdly.
They make balloons of their drosses’ by puffing
them out to enormous widths, in a style of pro
fusion which strikes the boldest man with a sort
of fear. They press themselves into unnatural
dimensions, screw their bodies into fantastic terms,
and take wonderful pains to insinuate into strange
shapes the bodies which God made beautiful.
W hy they go to all this trouble is a mystery to the
other sex. If for the sake of making themselves
attractive, they fail—because most men love
Nature; and if for the purpose of deceiving any
one, they only deceive themselves. Lord love
you 1 We men know all about it—we know that
those wasp-like waists are only compressed mus
cle, forcing disease upon healthy systems, although
borne with smiling faces. And do you not believe
that the ladies’ maids fresh ams blooming from the
country, with the sweet tints of Nature on their
rosy cheeks, laugh in their sleeve when they puint
their mistresses 1 Os eourse they do—and tho
lady, brilliant and proud in gilded saloons made
dazzling with splendour and wealth, trembles
when she recollects that her maid is in tho secret,
and may reveal at any moment the awful fact that
the colour on her young lady’s check is not genu
ine. So it is with every 7 thing of this kind :—many
adventurers who walk about in all the brilliance
ol' white linen, and in the pride of false fronts and
collars—the other shirt being with tho laundress
—feel bitterly that she is in the seerqf, and knows
exactly the stato of their wardrobes. So is it with
every thing—“No man is a hero to his valet de
chambre,” saitli the proverb and so in like man
ner, arc few women angels to their hidies’-maids.
But the dear creatures might be, if they had a
mind to—if they would only leave Nature, who
ought to be the guiding star of milliners, to assert
her rights. But they will not. They must paint,
and spread themselves out on sofas like heaps of
clothing, ticketed as plainly us possible, if you only
knowhow to read the label—“ Wealth and good
taste uniting for an offer.” There are, thank
heaven, exceptions to this rule, as there aro to all
others. 1 know several myself—such good, sensi
ble, amiliilc girls as it is quite a pleasure to know,
ami an honour to be intimate with.
Nina Klhinghum is one of these. I shoqkl not
call her Nina Elhingham now, because she is mar
ried, and has, oh! such a dear little daughter, the
most famous hand at rope-skipping you ever saw.
However, my story commences at a period when
Niua Elhingham was single, and an amiable, un
affected good girl, far above the follies of the day,
but merry and light-hearted, ns all good pooplo are
and must be—they can’t help it. Happiness in
its purest form, is after all, only the reflection of
other people’s joy on hearts which arc pure enough
to appreciate it without selfishness.
Nina had never throughout her young life, and
she was then nineteen years of age," known sorrow
or grief. Bred up with tenderness by an indul
gent parent, her limo had ever passed calmly and
happily, its the eoureo of a spnrkliiijf streamlet in
the sunshine of perpetual Spring would seem to
do. She had never experienced sorrow, for she
hud nothing to regret: nor uneasiness—yes she
laid though, for her betrothment did sometimes
make her leel rather sad ; and no wonder, for it
was a strange kind ol' proceeding and highly im
proper.
Not that it was not a-good thing to marry her, or
rather to promise to marry her f for “tlioro is many
a slip between the cup and tho lip”) to Charles
Bightford, Charles being a very good, honorable
young man, and moreover, handsome, and weil
to do in the world, lie was considered a very
eligible husband by a great many persons ; but
Nina was uneasy at her botrothal because she had
never seen her betrothed. There she was, posi
tively engaged to him, and expecting to marry him
next May a year, and had never yet seen him (since
they were both infants at least,) or talked to him,
or judged of his character, oxcept by menus of
the very pretty and loving letters which Charles
used to write to her from India.
Well, it was very pleasant to receive such kind
and affectionate epistles every month from tho
person whom she was going to marry, but you
know very well what letters arc, and llow oflen a
man says on paper what ho does not mean—tho
heartless creature —especially when lie writes to
young ladies. True, Nina was not at all sus
picious ; but she would think sometimes—ay.
often—how dreadful it would be to give her hand
and plcdgo her heart to Charles when ho came
home, if she should not like him. She frequently
dwelt on this subject, and it made her consequent
ly, a little uneasy at times, ns aforesaid.
But it did not interfere with her usual gaiety of
disposition—not a hit of it; for indeed, Aunt
Stratelace, who lived in the next house all alone
by herself, and who was very crabbed and spiteful,
in virtuo of old maidenhood, used to make ill
natured remarks, and say that Nina was too
thoughtless and free and alfthe rest of it—but she
even did worse, did Aunt Stratelace, for she used
to write to Charles fll tho way in India, telling all
sort of talcs about Nina, and making out that Nina
was too “flighty,” as she termed it, to make a good
wife, nud that, therefore, he had better renounce
all idea of marrying her. Aunt Stratelace did not
do this out of any regard for Charles—not she '.
But she had a grudge against Nina for having said
that “Aunt Stratelace looked ugly with all that
paint on her face,” —which had displeased Aunt
Stratelace very much, as well it might, for ladies
generally would rather not have their complexions
handled too freely by critics of either sex.
Charles Eightford, however, was not suspicions
cither; few noble natures are, and he did not be
lieve these tales, for he knew Aunt Stratelaee’s
character by report; so he mildly informed her
that he could not believe any harm of Nina, and
that he hoped some day to convince his aunt that
she had formed a very wrong estimate of the
character of his betrothed.
Old maids are, however, singular people, under
favor he it said, and with a due regard to the many
exceptions whom I know to this rule also—but
they are, on the whole, spiteful, because they have
been disappointed ; envious, because their chances
daily diminish, while much younger women are
being every day made happy around them—sensi
tive, because they imagine themselves marks fbr
constant raillery—scornful, because they are ex
cluded from the privileges of freedom-snappish
because solitude makes them imperious—dignified,
because they imagine that it is becoming to be so
—and ridiculous, because they can’t help it. Old
bachelors are equally bad, blit 1 cannot lose time
with them just now. 1 will have a word or two to
say to the m before long.
The two young people had been betrothed in a
very singular manner. Nina’s father, who had
been a merchant in Liverpool, had contracted a
strong friendship for his partner, old John Kight
ford, a man witli a wooden-leg, hut one of tho host
hearted fellows that ever lived, notwithstanding
this ligneous inconvenience. And so, when Mr.
Ediingham was dying, he made John promise
(and John was glad enough of it; mind you) that
lie would use all his influence to bring about a
marriage between liis son then two years of age,
and Nina then an infant in arias. Old John and
his son settled in India soon after liis partner’s
death. Nina’s mother who regarded this last
wish of her husbahd as a sacred inheritance, did
all in her power when Nina grew np, which she
did in Liverpool, to carry out the project, and old
John, to the hour of his death always urged the
step on his only son. The mutual pledges were
given Charles (named after his grandfather) in
India and Nina iu Liverpool, were duly promised
in each other for man and wife. All this may
appear very extraordinary and very improper;
but that is not my business—l tell you the facts—
make the most of them.
Charles’ friend, Tom Elmore, as he was familiar
ly called in Charles’ letter (his right name was
Thomas,) came home to Liverpool, in the year
1544, and brought a flattc ring introduction to Nina
from her betrothed in India: Charles spoke of
him as his dearest friend, indeed, as his other self,
to whom Nina “might speak without reserve on
every subject.” _ The two last words were under
scored by Charles, which was a delicate way of
alluding to their intended marriage that was quite
eliarming. Now Tom was a liandsomc fellow.
He had one of those fine open countenances that
call out “truth 1” when you look upon them. He
had a dark eye and a fine b9ld forehead. He
wore, moreover, short whiskers—not short be
cause he could not have had them full and large if
he had had a mind to, but short and crisp, be
cause he liked them so—and his teeth were so
white and regular—in fact, he was a handsome
young fellow and there was no mistake at all about it.
W lien Nina saw Tom, “and beheld that he was
comely to look on,” she asked if Charles had sent
liis portrait as he had promised; “because,” said
Nina, “I have no other than the one which was
taken when he was quite a child.”
But Tom said no—that Ciiarlcs had not given
him one to bring home—indeed, that he had not
had one painted, but tiiat he could tell her how
Charles looked ; he did it, however, in such a cold
and indifferent way, that Nina was vexed. And it
certainly was not generous to speak of his absent
friend to the young lady who questioned him in
other than an enthusiastic manner. But as we
have seen, Nina did not care much about Charles;
and Torn was so entertaining iu his descriptions
of his homeward voyage, that Nina did not think
mneh of Charles till after Tom Elmore had gone
and then Niua sat down alone in her room to think
of her future, and to hope that Charles might re
semble his friend, who was such a nice young
man, and seemed to be so very clever.
Nina's mother welcomed Tom with great affabil
ity—asking a thousand questions about Charles,
which quite embarrassed Tom, and made him re
gard Mrs. Eihingbam us prosy, a quality which
most matrons of Mrs. EUungham’s age are liable
to be accused of. She moreover discovered in the
most unaccountable manner a likeness between
Tom and old Mr. Bightford, long since departed,
andgave him a warm iuvitati n which-he was not
slow to accept. For in two or three days, Tom
again made his appearance, and came again next
day with a niece of music, and again on the follow
ing dav, with a rare study on which Nina might
exercise her pencil, and, in short, after a time, he
was there every day, Sabbath* not excepted.
And there was no reason to prohibit his coming.
His manners were unexceptionable j lie was very
attentive to Mrs. Elhingham, and to her daughter
—perhaps a little more so to Nina than her mother,
but never mind—there wasno liurm in that, I sup
pose. And how well he played tho piano ! lie
used to give Niua lessons, too, sometimes; and he
was such a patient master, and she such a docile
pupil, that it wus quite a treat to sec them thero
together, though Aunt Stratelace did not think so,
for, after she came in suddenly one day, and found
him placing her fingers on the keys for u difficult
chord, und holding up her wrist to show her how
it ought to bo kept up, she qnito bridled up and
straightway went about among her acquaintances,
and made mischief. She did more (the - spiteful
thing,) for she sat down that evening, though the
packet could not sail for a fortnight, and wrote a
cruel letter to Charles, acquainting him that
“fine tilings were going on here, and he had bet
ter come home. She said|nothmg, because it was
not her place to iutorfero ; but how Anu Elhiug
ham (Nina’s mother) could sit down with the
fear of God before her eyes, and let bucli things
go on under hor roof, she, Aunt S., could not tell,
and did not pretend to know. It might bo hono
rable conduct in Ann; perhaps, it was; but sho,
Aunt S., did not think so, and could not be guilty
of it—no, not tor ever so.” All of which was
duly signed, sealed with rose coloured and scented
wax, as if there was something cheering and
Sleasnnt inside instead of all that malicious scan
al, and delivered into the keeping ot the post
office. Having got rid of this harmonious epistle,
Aunt Stratelace sat down in patience, and with the
air of a martyr who had performed a noble but a
painful duty, to await the results.
In the meanwhile (you see it takes a long time
for a letter to get so far as India) Tom Elmore
continued to visa at Mrs. Effingham’s, and to in
struct Nina in music, and to take walks with her ;
and Nina somehow liked to be with Tom, for
she felt happy when she heard his clear, bold voice
instructing and amusing her when they were quito
alone in the fields, and when they sat together at
the little piano up-stairs, which had learned to
speak so plainly since Tom had come to Liverpool.
Then the houso was so much more lively than it
was wont to be, and so much more cheerful; and
when Tom suug, Nina felt so pleased, and happy,
more happy than I could express to you, much
more—for Nina loved Tom, though she did not
know it at first, and Tom loved Nina too, but he
knew it>cll —no did. Leave him alone for that.
Nina’s happiness, however, did not endure.
After Tom had gone home, she would then sit and
think how it was that Tom did not speak so much
of Charles as he did at first. He seldom called his
nnine now, and had not received any letters from
Charles since his arrival. But then she had not
received any either, bo his night nave miscarried
as well as hors. As bust Nina came to tho conclu
sion that Tom loved her ; and when this thought
struck her, she smiled so joyously and brightly,
and then as suddenly burst into tears as she re
membered that her word, and consequently her
honor, were pledged to another ; and she could
never marry Tom, though he might pray for it
never so much. *
Then Nina began to wish that she lmd never
bcon betrothed to Charles. She blamed her
father’s selfishness, ns she called it, which had
sacrificed her; for sho was sure she never could
love Charles as wßll as sho lovod Tom. How
could she ! She looked at Charles’s portrait taken
in childhood, when parents love to have their
children’s countenance preserved in paint, as if
they could over boos use to anybody after youth
has passed into manhood. She took this portrait,
and contrasted Charles’s light hair and bluo eyes
with Tom's black locks, and dark, piercing, spark
ling eyes, and Tom’s whiskers with Charles’s bare
checks (as if Charles might not have whiskers
thou for aught sho knew, the siliy girl,) and was
certain that sho must lovo Tom, and could not
’.ovc Churles on any account, and so she would lie
down and weep herself to sleep.
And so Tom went aiid came, and Nina felt glad
and sorry for a long time, wondering why Charles
did not write, and hoping that he had changed
his mind, and did not lovo her any more. Tho
idea, however, of Tom’s ottering to marry never
entered her mind, because she felt confident that
liis high sense of honor would never permit him
to violate the confidence which Charles had placed
in his integrity when he gave him so flattering
an introduction to her, and because she did hot.
bcliove tliut Tom could think so lightly of hor as
to suppose that she would break her plighted
word to Charles, unless ho voluntarily released
her. She theroforo had no fear, because she
thought no wrong. I’ure in action as in mind,
she continued to learn and to improve under the
attentive care of Tom Elmore, to enjoy the happi
ness of his society in the evening, and to weep
hor hard fate at night.
At length Tom began to speuk more freoly of
his absent friend, lie did not do so at first direct
ly, but in insinuations which corresponded neither
with the yreetiue which his features bespoke for
him, nor with liis general conduct since his arrival
In Liverpool.
“ It is strange,” he said, on one occasion, “that
Charles does not write.”
“ Very,” Nina replied. “Can he be ill ?”
“ Scarcely, or I should have heard of it. Do
you know if any one has made miscliicf between
you ?"
“ Surely not,” said Nina.
“ Perhaps,” said Tom; and after stopping
abrutly, he continued, “perhaps Charles lias his
eye on an Indian beauty.”
The colour mounted to Nina’s brow as lie said
this, for sho felt with all the sensitives of woman
the inference of indifference which the remark
conveyed. But at the snme instant sho felt that
the time had come to assert the position which she
intended to assume; and making a powerful effort,
she replied, “Charles will, of course, suit himself
as it may best please him. For me, I consider
myself as betrothed to him until his own permis
sion or his own act releases me.”
She looked directly in Tom’s eyes as she spoke,
apd saw a docp blush, as of shame it might be,
for the deception which he had practised—it might
be for the defeat which he had sustained ; but
saying nothing, he turned to the piano, and after
running over the keys with a brilliant prelude,
he commenced the following song:—
thou so wonderfully fair T
Those lustrous eyes reflect no light for me ;
There dwells no beauty in that darlc brown hair
Which I might praise to win a glance from thee ;
No love in that bright angel’s smile, which seems
The home where innocence had gladly flown—
' No pity on that brow which brightly teems
With purest good—that 1 can call my own.
Nina turned her eyes downward when she heard
these words. Sweet as they were upon her ear
they pained her heart; for nlie recollected the
difficult but solemn duty which she owed to anoth
er, even though she had never seen him, and some
thing whispered to her conscience that the man
who could speak thus, though indirectly, was not
worthy ot the esteem in which Charles held him.
She said, nothing, however, and in the meanwhile,
oh, licaven I what strange sounds came forth from
Tom’s instrument. Strange, fitful sounds, now
low and wailing, now loud and angry, and then
gay and glad—so glad at length, that they seemed
almost to leap out from behind the crimson silk
in airy shapes, and skip with joy about the keys.
And then again they assumed the soft, plaintive
tone of the former melody, and Tom sang again:
No, not for me those priceless gems of grace,
Which glad the sight and lift the heart above;
The poetry of look in that sweet face
Has not for me one line that shines with love.
If there be heaven on our earth e'en now,
’Tis in that heart where Purity may see
Herself reflected. But Heaven is merciful, and thou
Hast yet no ray of light or love for me.
Before he had finished the concluding notes of
his symphony, Nina hnd left the room, She began
to look on Tom Elmore’s conduct in a far less fo
vorable light than before. Tic kDew that she was
solemnly engaged to another, who had placed
implicit confidence in him; and yet he did not
hesitate indirectly to pour into her ear declara
tion! of his own passion, to which her heart only
too well responded. He saw this—he knew it-;
and that knowledge made his Conduct only the
more enlpable.
As she thus reasoned with herself, Elmore's
character ldst caste in her estimation, for she felt
that if she broke her word, she would be acting
dishonorably—she would be a fallen woman—
fallen into the shame which he had opened out
before her': and Nina shuddered as she thought.
And oh; what can be more dreadful than woman s
falsehood. Pure, bright, and true in nature as she
is beautiful in form, woman stands between man
and the angels, a higher because a purer being.
Like to angels in the spirit, she has, besides, the
lesser beanties of the flesn, which please the
grosser sense of man, and make him turn to o
when he would scoff at them; and whc'.oiie of
these bright spirits leaves tho ligh*. of truth, and
falls into the sin of fhlscncssor dishonor. it seems
as though a sacred star went out which shone be
fore, and left some little world in dreary darkness.
Ninadcarlv loved Tom Elmore before lie bepn
to speak so plainly of the passion to which he had
no nght ever to give expression. But now that he
had done so, Nina knew him as unworthy of her
confidence as he was of Charles s, and she felt
*orrv that her belief in his excellence had been so
suddenly and so rudely dispelled, like a morning
dream of heaven.
The next morning rose late, for she felt
unwell, and, having taken breakfast in her room,
went down to the parlour and found Tom there.
She did not guess what he had come for; because
she did not know anything of the signs which be
long to these occasions. But I do. When you
see a gentleman, sitting alone in a room, carefully
dressed, not lounging so as to put creases into his
waistcoat, which would look untidy, but sitting
Studiedly upright, with a pale face—except on the
cheek, where excitement places little spots of
crimson—and when you moreover observe this
voung gentleman twiddling his gloves about, and
troubled with nervous twitchings of liis upper lip,
yon may be sure tliat he is about to “ propose,"
and nothing less. Nina, however, as I have said,
knew nothing of all this.
She spoke coldly to Tom as Bbe entered the
room, and seated herself on a couch at the other
end. But, when Tom came and sat by her, and
took her hand.in hi* and spoke to her so kindly
and so affectionately, Nina turned deadly pale and
trembled in every lfmb.
“ Nina, dearest Nina!’’ said Tom, and bis voice
sounded so sweet and clear that thero was nothing
like it, Nina thought, in all tho wide world.—
“Dearest Nina! you know, you must know, how
dearly and how fondly Ido lovo you. Meek and
modest as you arc. you must feel your superiority
over all other maidens, and you cannot, therefore,
wonder if my heart, my wliolo sense and being
bow before your charms—nay, not so much your
beauty 7 , dear, as before your goodness and sweet
amiable disposition,—and own you for their mis
tress. Till 1 caino here, doar Nina, I knew no
love, though I hud tried to lovo before; and since
I have been here, I have not only loved, but I
have worshipped you. In the fond’ dreams of my
calm boyhood, when 1 funciedwhatmy witowould
be, when I should grow to have one, imagination
never pictured such an ono as you. Perfection
thrice perfected, goodness made best, and purity
most pure, are yours, and yours alono. And if,
dear Nina, if I dare aspire to so much worth, if I
presume to ask of heaven and you a boon, which
must confer such lustre on myself,’tis not, ’tis not,
indeed, because 1 think that I am worthy of the
treasure, which I crave; his not becauso I doom
myself quite able to appreciate its value—but I do,
indeed, feel, dear Nina, that 1 can keep and guard
it well; for I know that, by God’s help, I will do
all poor man can do to show tho gratitude which
must spring out of so much bounty. To say, dear
Nina, that I will give my whole life up to your
happiness, is to say little; for what is it to devote
to God’s best, loveliest creature tho few short days
which God bestows. But giving these, dearest,
I give all, though less than I would give if that
my most wore more. You speak no word, and
give no sign that you aro cither vexed or pleased
to hear mo thus address you, and but that yon
tremble and are ashy pale, I still might wonder if
you hoard at all. It you are angered, tell me in
one word that you are hurt, and add one more to
say you pardon my too bold advance, and 1 will
quit you, Niua, quit you now for ever—if in so
sweet a nature there can live so harsh a wish, with
cruelty enough to give it utterance.”
Do you suppose he meant half of all this? I
don’t—that is, I do only to a certain extent. All
men say the same things, in other lauguage, when
they otter. They tell young ladies that their lives
are to bo passed in endeavoring to make thoir
wives happy: that no cloud is to come over tho
sunshine of their joyous life, &e., &c., and before
they havo been married a mouth, they expect
their wives to sow on buttons, mako pastry, and
do other offices, at the slightest neglect of which
those swearing and protesting lovers, having
thrown off their summer skin and relapsed into
the winter of marriage, grumble audibly. It is
all very fine in romance, and sounds very well at
the beginning; but there is a great deul of gold
to be rubbed off the ginger-bread before wo over
come to the true state of tho case. This is, how
ever, useless digression.
Nina had, in truth, remained perfectly Bilont
while Tom spoke; but at length sho raised her face
to put an end to his addresses, when her eye en
countered the forms of her mother and aunt, who
had entered the room unobserved by its excited
occupants, and had heard tho greater part of Tom’s
very unexpected proposal.
Mrs. Elliingham’s lace was as pale as Nina’s.—
Aunt Stratelacc’s visage, on tho contrary, was rod
undwhito in patches, according to the obstacles
offered to the free course of the blood, by certain
bumps which obscured tho beauty of that amiable
lady; and on the whole shelooked, being in ono
of her hard humors, rathorliko a bachelor’s-but
ton, of tlio red species, which wks running to seod
and wanted to be watered, or otherwise submitted
to tho influence of some softening and soothing
agent.
When Nina looked up, hor mother had in somo
measure recovered her surprise, and taking Aunt
Stratclace’s arm had turned to leave the room—as
she did so, however, the pale, trembling girl, who,
but a moment before, Becmed about to sink under
hor emotion, rose utonco to self-command, imme
diately she folt that she must depend for aid upon
hcrsclfalono. She left her seat upon the sofa, and
standing midway between Elmoro and tho door,
called to her mother—and her voice was as firm
then as over it had been—as round, and as full,
und as noblo as woman’s voice could be.
“ Mother,” she said, “stop, I pray you—aunt,
do not go—this is a scene tliut will please you for
it cannot fail to be toq cruel for ns all. 'You have
heard, you could not ehuoso but hear what Mr.
Thomas Elmore, Charles Kightford’s friend, has
said to me but now. Y’ou, mother, know I uover
gave encouragement that might load oil to this.—
You, aunt, should know it, too; though it may
pain you to confess as much. Hear then my an
swer, that you may repeat it truly, if you can,
when next you write your scnndal of tho day. And.
you, Mr. Elmore, you, a man whoso powerful will
and cultivated mind should place you far above
this most dishonest action, wliat can I say to you 1
What can I, a poor weak girl, ted you that can in
any wise cause Truth to teach your mind how foul
a spot this act has painted on your fame. Trusted
by your friend, you would betray him: trusted by
me, you would sink me to shame and sorrow by
making me the partner of your crime. You can
go forth into the world, and by fresh sin blot out
the recolleotion of this mean, miserable trick: but
I, a woman, with a woman’s modosty, can do no
worso and still remain a woman, for honor is the
boundary of virtue—and you would havo mo bar
ter mine for love—yonr love ! No, no, it oannot
be love which is thus based. Love ennobles and
refines—exalts, lifts up above tho common follies
of an age, and docs not stoop to add fresh sins to
its full catalogue for after times to wonder at.”
While Ninu thus spoke, Tom looked up into her
face with a strange and singular expression, until
at last he sank upon his knees before her and kept
looking jn her face silently but fixedly, like one in
a tranoc—that is, only so far as perfect stiffness
might give him that appearance—for in his face
there was u look oflight and triumph which it was
startling to look upon. But Nina lieoded not.
“You know,” sho said, “you know that I do not
love Charles Eightford. You know I could not,
for you have proved that love can be bom only of
esteem and I have never seen him. Yet I know
that he is not unworthy, and having once pledged
my word to him, I am his eternally, so long as he
iB worthy, unless by his own free release. But you
thought I loved you. You perhaps tried to make me
love you”—and her lip quivered as sho spoke—
“but if you still hold that dream, banish itas mad
ness, and renounce tho hope. What may have
been yesterday is gone ; for esteem is incompati
ble with contempt, and you have made this dis
place that by your most shameful conduct.”
And yet Tom did not look down—and, oh me,
what an expression on his face! There seemed
naught but joy, and love and purest triumph upon
every feature.
“Gb then,” Isaid Nina; “go from mo now and
forever. I knew no passion till I knew you, and
passion has brought with it sorrow that till now
was over a stranger to my heart. Go from mo
and tell Charles Eightford, if you can dare aguin
to look upon his face, whether his betrothed pre
fers lovo to honour, happiness before honest
pride,”
A tear trickled down tho manly check of Tom
Elmore while Nina Bpokc, but no muscles moved,
no light went off the smile of joy which curled
around his parted lips. Strange man!
“Tell him,” she continued, “as I will tell him,
all. Let him feel how much I have deserved his
silence—how much I have merited the world’s
false report when it linked my name with yours.”
Aunt Stratelace winced very much and the bach
elor’s button might be .said to have fallen quite
into the shade.
“Tell him,” said Nina, “howyou found and how
you leave mo—still his—his as muehasever —still,
and as surely the same Nina Elhingham as you
are ”
“Charles Eightford!” said her lover, speaking
for the first time, as he sprang to liis feet and show
ed her portrait and the locket with the dark hair
in which she had sent him, und twenty other to
kens besides. Your Charles Eightford, Nina,
dearest \ here to prove the falsehood of all those
who dared to speck lightly of the world’s best or
nament. I sent for your aunt, intending that she
should be present at this interview, and
But Nina could hear no more—with one loud
scream she sunk into his arms and fainted.
And, my gracious! what a piece of work thero
was! What with smelling-salts,andjerying, burnt
feathers and congratulations, there neverwas such
a scene any where. As for Annt Stratelace, she
was off in a coach in a jiffy, and was not heard of
more for some years, when it was discovered by
chance that sl.e was living with a maiden cousin in
Woles. It is bnt fuir to add that she was never in
quired for.
That Charles acted wrongly and with deception
lie could not deny ; bnt a frank confession and a
few airs on the piano set him all to rights very
soon, and he was married in the following month.
It was not much more than a year afterward*
that little Nina Eightford was born; she that plays
skipping rope so well, yon know. But to this duy
Mrs. Elhingham prides herself on tho sagacity
with which she discovered in the eoi-duant Tom
Elmore a strong resemblance to old Eightford.
Tho continental governments appear to think
the present time favorable to bring new loans for

VOL. LXVI.-NEW SERIES VOL. XVI.-NO. 29.
E PLURIBUS UNUM.
BY O.W. CUTTER.
Tho’ many and bright are the stars that appear
In that flag, by our country unfurl’d—
And the stripes that are swelling in majesty there,
Like a rainbow adorning the world —
Their light is unsullied, as those in the sky,
By a deed that our fathers have done—
And they're leagued in as true and as holy a tie
In their motto of 44 many in one.”
From the hour when those patriots fearlessly flung
That banner of star-light abroad,
Ever true to themselves, to that motto they clung,
As they clung to the promise of God;
By the bayonet trac’d, at the midnight of war,
On the flelds where our glory was won ;
Oh! perish the heart or the hand that would mar
Our motto of 44 many in one.”
Mid the smoke of the contest, the cannon's deep roar,
How oft it has gathered renown;
While those stars were reflected in rivers of gore,
Where the cross and the lion went down ;
And tho' few were their lights in the gloom of that hour,
Yet the hearts that were striking below . \
Had God for their bulwark, and truth for their power,
And they stopp’d not to number the foe.
where our green mountain tops blend with the sky
And the giant St. Lawrence is rolled,
To the waves where the balmy llesperides lie,
Like the dream of some prophet of old;
They conquered—and dying bequeathed to our care—
Not this boundless dominion alone —
But that banner, whose loveliness hallows the air,
And their motto of * many in one.”
We are many in one while there glitters a star
In the blue of the heavens above ;
And tyrants shall quail, ’mid their dungeons afar,
When they gaze on that motto of love.
It shall gleam o’er the sea, ’mid the bolts of the storm—
Over tempest, and buttle, and wreck;
And flame where our guns with their thunder grow warn,
’Neath the blood on the slippery deck.
The oppress’d of the earth to that standard shall fly,
Wherever its folds shall be spread—
And the exile shall feel ’tii his own native sky,
W’here its stars shall float over his head :
And.those stars shall increase till the fulness of time
Its millions of cycles has run —
Till the world sliall have welcom’d its mission sublime,
And Uie nations of earth shall be one.
Tho* tho old Alleghany may tower to heaven,
Amt the Father of Waters divide—
The links of our destiny cannot be riven *
While the truth of those words shall abide.
Then, oh ! let them glow on each helmet and brand,
Tho' our blood, like our rivers, should run;
Divide as we may in our own native land,
To the rest of the world we are one.
Then up with our flag—let it stream on the air—
Tho’ our fathers are cold in their graves, [dare,
They had hands that could strike, they had souls that could
And their sons were not born tube slaves.
Up, up with the banner—where’er itiuuy call,
Our millions shall rally around;
And a nation of freemen that moment shall fall,
When its stars shall be trailed on the ground.

TUB EXORDIUM,
Six and seventy suns, fellow citizens, havo rollod
thoir annual rounds, while as many yearn havo been
uddod to the past, since this, our Day of days was
first declared an epoch in the courso of time: and
now, ns the index of that noiseloss but ftuthful
chronicler rapidly moves upon tho dial of events
does tho lingering shndow of the past throw its
mantle of reflected light around us hero, as wo
come up to eelobrato the birth of a Liberty whose
rays cricirolo, while they illumine, tho earth. On
this day, from a thousand hills, from every city,
town and liamlot oft his western empire, seconds a
holocaust of joy, of praise, and of exultation.—
Wafted by the Atlantic’s breezes, it is borne along
in impetuous might, to- join tho glad acclaim of
South mid West; while, in distant murmurs, the
deop swell of Pacifio's waves rolls onward tho
piean of a Nation’s hymn, in ono great symphony
of song, until its cohoes are lost only in the wind's
that play nrouud tho summits of onr Northern hills.
Hero do wo stund on this proud day—the young,
tho beautiful and fair, the aged veteran and tho
hopeful son; tho wisdom of onr city, its talout, its
wealth and its energy ; tho “ waving plumes of
mimic war, ” —all, all ready to fling upon a com
mon altar tho pure offerings of free hoarts to a
common country, and to renow tho vows whloh
bind us in ono groat- brotherhood, consecrated to
Liberty and to Truth.
THE INFLUENCE OK TIIK PRESS.
It must be obvious to ovory ono, in perusing tho
chronicloa of tho stirriug events tiint succeeded
each other so rapidly, between tho years 1718 and
With that a powerful and controlling uuder-ourront
was slowly, but surely, exerting an irresistible in
fluence over the minds and passions of those who
were destined to become actors in the greatest
cpio of tho world’s history. Oppression had long
beforo sown tile soeds, which had germinated ana
taken deep root, in hearts of singular and un
shaken boldnoss—nnd tbero was wanting but some
genial influonco to warm and invigorate the plant
that was destined to shoot forth, grow, and spread
into a goodly troo, upon whoso branches, and pro
tected by whose verdure, tho birds of hcavon might
rest ana sing tho songs of liberty, whoso eelioos
might resound throughout the earth.
That influence was present in the mysterious
power of the Pnss, whose silent, but cfTcotivo
agency disseminated tho principles and formed tho
opinions of tlioso who put in motion tho ball of
Revolution—that supplied tho arguments tOßUstain
u struggling cause in its darkest and most trying
hour; and when “tho wearied sword was sheathed
ill peace,” gave its aid towards tho establishment
of a Constitution, which has chullcngod and will
clialloiigo the admiration of mankind; and wlion,
at last, all was finally and porfcotly settled, con
tinued that aid in expounding tho pnnoipies of that
charter, and in maintaining its efficacy in tho
hearts and iilfoetions of tho American' people.
Other influences, it is true, were at work, con
jointly with tho Press, in forwnrding the great
cause; other influences had beon operating with
in thoir sphere, for a long soricß of years, to
change the views and modify tho opinions of men,
as to the claims of hereditary rulers mid tho duty
of submission on tho part of tho ruled. Porfoct
freedom of speech, with tho liborty of the Press,
existed not on the broad expanse of the earth’B
surface. Unrcstrainod dcapotism reignod, crush
ing, with its Brhcrinn power, tho warm impulses
and tho high aspirations of limn’B nature, or, in
flioting, through military tribunals, on the ornslio<l
masses, its bitter vengeanco. No oltumpion h d
oponly oome forth to sound a cliullengo to kingly
rule; no warrior-knight, to throw down tho gaunt
let in favor of human rights and human freedom.
Superstition had called to its aid tho twin-brothers,
Religious Bigotry and Political Fanaticism, and tho
ttirco lmd thrown around man’s vision an obscurity
so del iso, that tlio milder rays of tho dawning light
of liberty, wore poworless to penetrate its fouls.
Yot that light was rising, and those rays wero be
ginning to shoot athwurt tho horizon of man’s cir
cumscribed viow, gathering strength in tlieir
courso, and shedding around andovortho nations
new views, now hopes, and higlier aims.
That light was tho Press ; tlwo rays wore the
emanations of its powor; and it was rcservod for
a inter ago, upon another theatre and with othor
men, to put in practice theories and principles
which lmd boon regarded only ns tho landfill
dreams of tho political philosopher, ortho Utopian
fallacies of tho aspiring reformer. * * *
All tho triumphs of truth and Kberty over pre
judice and error, in overy country mid in evory
ago, have beon tho triumphs of the Press!—
Wherever a few groat minds have made a stand
against violonco urid fraud, in thoouuso of Freedom
and of Reason, tliore lias boon her Spirit in the
midst of them—inspiring, oneouragine. consoling.

THE ADVANTAGES OF OCR INSTITUTIONS.
Wo are accustomed, Follow-Citizens, to oxto,
onr Liberty, to boast of its blessings and to praiso
its benefits. Right is it that wo should thus foster
among oui solves a love and affection for it; un
dutiful heritors of a glorious legacy would we be,
not to strive to ndd to the magnificent boquost that
has been made us! And tho teeming uiillionti of
this Confederated Empire, havo shown by thoir
deeds, that they appreciate to tho fullest extent,
the favors and tho blessings that are theirs. Here,
guided by intelligence and stimulated by freedom,
the annual avorago production of enoh individual
is estimated at ninety-five dollars j in England, it
is sixty-four dollars; in Franco it is but forty dol
lars. Os this wliolo amount of production, tho
Government in Franco receives twenty-flee per
oent; in England seventeen ; und in tho United
States loss than two. This leaves for private uso
in England, an annual uvornge to each individual,
o*’ fifty-three dollars; in Franco of thirty, and in
tho United States of ninety-three dollars ! Ami
yet oven of tho stinted amount of production,
which in Europe, after supporting tho Govern
ment is left for distribution among the pooplo, tho
hereditary orders, tho grantees of monopolies and
tho holders of capital, rccoivo tho larger propor
tion, wliilo tho masse* who till the Boil and delvo
in tho mine, and labor in tho factory, orb disregar
ded and uncared for. I tore, thank God, no heredi
tary ordors exist—no odious monopolies aro grant
ed—no wretched poor, without employments, are
loft to pine nnd die along our streets, liven wealth
secures to its opulent possessor no exclnsivo privi
legos. Here all take their stand among freemen
in the great Republican nssombly, whore merit, not
descent, confers distinction, nnd the only accredi
ted nobility, is the nobility of Nature.
