Mr. Parkhnrst has been, for some weeks, at my plantation adapting his Cotton Gin, originally intended for Long Cot ton, to short staple. The experiment has been entirely suc cessful.

WEEKLY mom 1 n MISCELLANY From the Lou:*vi]!e Journal. 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.

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 have been completed, ana it is expected that the residue will be finished before the expiration of two months.

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 ward. The Austrian Government, it is said, wereto is sue proposals for a new Leombard loan of about f0b,000,000 lire or about £4,000,000 aterliug. The late loau negotiated by the Messrs. Hotlischild was readied 5)/r>rem., which created the liveliest sat isfaction in Vienna, and had the effect oh reducing the premium on gold and silver, and exercised a favorable inflnence oh the Exchanges. It was also reported on the London Stock Exc.iango on tho 20tb, that the French Government would issue a new loan for £3,009,000 sterling which caused con sols to fall per cent. Russian gold has begun to make ita appearance. The amount usually im ported in England from that quarter is about £l,- 000,000 annuails. It is believed that this year it would not be as inncli. The favorite digging place in Australia is Mount Alexander; there the gold is turned up by tons. A party of five gentlemen made three hundred pounds each in five davs. Beggars have actually become rich. It would seem us if, at last, Provi dence was reversing the order of things, and that henceforth labor ia to bo capital. 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. ITEMS.

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. By tho lonoly lamp of Erasmus ; bj*the restlosa bod of Pascal; in tho cell of Galileo; on the sonf fold of Sidney; it lias brought gladnosa to eyoa which have iailod witli watchfulness and tears— that have ached for the dork homo and the long sleep. 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.
