Adventure* of a Erg if Mutton. —A re
spectable Tradesman, icsi.ling not u hun
dred miles from Wine Office-Court, Fleet
street, sent to Mr. Mason, a worthy knight
of and steel, of Shoe-lane, for a
leg of mutton. A line wether leg was
immediately transmitted by a man, with
an’ injunction not to leave it without
the rhino. When the butcher's man arriv
ed with the leg of mutton at the domic’le
of his customer, the niastet of the house
was not at home, whereupon the man left
the joint, and said that he would call for
the money as he returned from supplying
another customer. This promise, as may
be naturally supposed, he most punctually
performed ; when finding the master still
noncsf inventus , and learning from the “ fair
maid-of-all-woik,” that the wether-leg was
simmering in the pot below, down he rush
ed into the kitchen, (overturning a slop-pail
on the stairs, drenching the affrighted mis
tress of the house nearly to the skin with its
savory contents) and throwing oft the lid of
the pot (without the fear of scalding his
fingers before Itis eyes, and against the
peace of maid and missus) he grasped the
lest of mutton hv its knuckle end, and wrap
ping it up, smoking hot as it was, in his
greasy apron, bore it away triumphantly.
We nearly fmgot to mention that as the
wily journeyman was rushing up the kitch
en stairs with his capture, his nether part
was saluted with the boiling contents of the
saucepan —the maid singing out during the
operation, “Curse you! you shan’t go with
out the broth /” Upon the half- scalded dev
il arriving at his master’s, with the ha/f
----<:<Hiked mutton, he found that the customer
had been there, in the meantime (uncon
scious of the disorderly scene which had
been enacted at his own house) and paid for
the joint. What was now to be done ? A
felony had been committed, (“ stealing in a
dwelliug-house under the value of forty
shillings,”) and alarm and fright become the
older of the shop ! A council was immedi
ately held around the largest block in the
shop, when it was decided that the unfortu
nate cause of the disaster should he sent
back to the purchaser; and the offender,
wrapping it carefully up in his greasy apt on
a second time, marched oft’ with his unlaw
ful prize to its rightful owner, with a face
as long as a side of pork, and as white as a
lireast of veal. With a tremulous hand lie
raised the iron knocker. The maid-of-all
work scon appeared—the fellow, with his
longue sticking to the roof of his mouth,
stammered out a “ beg pardon, quite a mis
take.” and throwing the parboiled leg into
the apron of the girl, started oft’ home with
a light heart, and a scalded hack. Ihe af
fair was afterwards explained to the satis
faction of all paities.
Name* and Realities. —A Work has been
recently published in Paris entitled “Slave
ry and Liberty—the existence of man and
of society in harmony with the laws of the
Universe.” The following passage is taken
from it:
” Slavery’s great fault is in the name.—
In France and ir. England, workmen and
house servants are more unfortunate, more
dependent than any negro slave. 1 resided
more than eight years in the slave section
of the United States. 1 have compared the
condition of the slaves in those States, and
in the West Indies, with that of the work
men of Lile, Lyons, Rouen, Amiens, St.
Guentiene, and Troyes. 1 beheld the mis
ery of the latter, their known dependence,
and despite my prejudices against slavery,
I was soon convinced, that as regarded its
bearing on the physical constitution, mate
rial happiness, development of intelligence,
tranquility of mind, and perfection of the
arts —slavery was preferable, and would
produce far superior result* to any afforded
by the pretended liberty of French or Eng
lish workmen.”
This is the view of an observer who ap
pears to he an intelligent man. We give it
for what it is worth, and in the belief that it
may suggest teflections on the subject re
ferred to —apart from the influence of names
and ptejiidice operating either way upon
the mind.
The pretended Liberty of French or En
glish workmen is—what ? Look at them,
trot as men, but as parts of the machinery
of human life and action, and let any one
say iu what their liberty consists. Can
they detach themselves from the social struc
ture wherein they are fixed and from their
position iu which they are compelled to
bear the chief pressure of the whole fabric ?
They have the fieedom of working for a
scanty sustinetir.e—provided any one will
give them employment; and when the
poor wages, earned with much toil, are paid,
what further obligation is there on the em
ployer to waste one thought upon the piece
of human machinery which was lately in his
service 1 When no employment is to he
had, the freedom of the woikhouse or liber
ty to starve, is the privilege of ttie English
labourer. It is hard to conceive of a system
of servitude more surely and inevitably
adapted to the destruction of human sym-
Eiathies than this system of British servitude
y which an entire class are made to traffic
away their labor, their freedom, their all,
upon terms prescribed by others, their su
periors.—Baltimore American.
A Mother. —There is something in sick
ness that bleaks down the pride of man
hood ; that softens the heart and brings it
back to the feelings of infancy. Who that
has suffered, even m advanced life, in sick
ness and despondency—who that has pined
in a weary bed, in the neglect and loneli
ness of a foreign land—-but lias thought of
the mother that looked on his childhood,
that smoothed his pillow, and administered
bis help? Oh! there is an endearing ten
derness in the love of a mother to her son,
that tianscends all other affections of the
heart. It is neither to he chilled by selfish
ness, r.or daunted by danger, nor weakened
by worthlessness, nor stifled by ingratitude.
She will sacrifice every comfort to his con
venience ; she will surrender every pleae
{ire to his enjoyment; she will glory in his
ame, and exult in his prosperity; and if
adversity overtakes him, he will be dearer
to iier by misfortune ; and if disgrace set
tle upon his name, she will still love and
cherish him; and if all the world cast him
oft; she will be all the world to him.
ABBORICI I.TURE.
Messrs. Editors :—As a gieat proportion
of youi | readei'B ate agriculturists and many
of them somewhat engaged in horticulture
and arboriculture, 1 thought it might not
prove uninteresting to know through your val
uable paper, something of my practice and
experience in cultivating fruit.
Almost every kind of fruit can he made to
mature in this climate with proper care and
attention. For instance, the soil that suits
the Peach, can be made to suit the Apple,
Tear and Plum, taking care to manure an
nually with swamp mud, decayed leaves and
limt—the lime should he applied sparingly.
Plums, Apricots, Chet t ies, &c. should he
placed in such a location that when the tree
begins to fruit, hogs, geese, ducks, Ac. can
have free access to the trees; by this means
all of tire falling fruit pierced by the curcu
lio will be destroyed and that destructive in
sect, which so often destroys whole crops of
the thin skinned fiuits, will he kept under.
1 have no difficulty in producing the fine
varieties of the Plum and Cher ry. And if
we have no late frosts the coming season to
nip the bird and destroy the fruit, 1 shall be
able to exhibit to those of your readers
who are curious itr such matters, specimens
that will make their mouths water.
I near great complaint of the failure of
the fine varieties of the Crape; and I attrib
ute it to excess in pruning. We are too
prone tofollow European system —w hat suits
in France and Italy may not suit here.—
That W'e have native Crapes superior to
those imported, is trow admitted by all who
have tested them. And our native varieties
do not require as much pruning as the for
eign, (at least so far .is my experience goes.)
Three years ago, last Spring, I procured
about thirty varieties of the Grape from cut
tings, (and by the by, let me say a cutting is
superior to a root for pinpagatiou) arid the
vines have done remarkably well, but there
are out of the whole lot hut three varieties
worth cultivating for their fruit, viz: the
Catawba, Wand and Isabella. The vines
of the three above named kinds fruited un
commonly full this season, and all bid fair
to ripen finely, but the wel weather coming
on rotted the Isabella and the Bland, whilst
the Catawba stood uninjured and yielded an
enormous crop ot the finest fruit 1 ever saw.
The Catawba when ripe is a deep red, and
hangs on the vine in clusters on a long sin
gle stem, presenting a most beautiful ap
pearance. 1 gathered from my garden over
one hundred and fifty bushels of this deli
cious fruit this season.
The Isabella does well in a dry summer,
I manure my Grapes similar to iny Trees,
only adding more lime. My soil is very
poor and sandy, and yet I have no difficulty
in producing the finest varieties of the Ap
ple, Fear, Plum, Peach, Apricot, Necta
rines, English Cherry, G tapes, Figs, Eng
lish Gooseberry, &c. &c. in short, this is
the finest fruit growing country in the world.
I will close by recommending to your
readers the dying Scotchman’s advice to his
son, “ Plant a Tree, Jock, it will e’en grow
whilst ye are sleeping.”
CHARLESA. PEABODY.
Spring Hill, Ala. Nov. 8, 1 813.
P. S.—-I hope these few remarks will he
the means of eliciting from ohhr and more
experienced persons much valvualde infor
mation to the community.— Columbus En
quirer.
Time. —The value of lime is in the pres
ent. The passing moment is all that we
can avail ourselves of. if that be neglected,
nothing is accomplished ; if improved, eve
ry thing. Time has been likened to a
stream and not without reason ; for as that
which floats upon the river is at one time
above the point of observation, and soon af
ter below, so upon time’s stream that which
is “to be,” soon “has been,” and is passed
forever. But yet the present is something
more than a mere point of observation on
the shore of time’s rivet, for the results de
pendent upon an improvement of that pres
ent are ali-imporlant, rendering the experi
ence of the past and the anticipations of the
future as nothing. The piesent is a cata
ract in the stream of time, upon the bank of
which we are poised, either to be borne
over into the abyss of inaction below, or by
vigorous efforts to save ouiselves from that
fate, and maintain our position against the
rushing waters.
Such is the lot of man—he must hear up
steadily and constantly against the cut rent
of time which would sweep him over the
brink of the precipice, or he is lost, and in
stead of living, his manhood becomes for the
moment dead. Seize on the piesent, then ;
act, do something ; let it not glide by in in
action ; for the mighty past is made up of
the minute pi esent, and the boundless future,
with its myriad creations, as well. Howev
er great and impoitant the task before us,
procrastination should never be allowed, for
its success depends entirely upon what is
done all he piesent moment; the past we can
not recall, and the future must he the present
before it can be emyloyed. Yes, even the
boundless ocean of eternity is as nothing
until it is presented to us successively in the
minute portions we call the present! How
important, then, that every moment should
be improved !
Education. —Every boy should have his
head, his heart, and his hand educated ; let
this truth never be forgotten.
By the proper education of the head, he
will be taught what is good, and what is evil;
what is wise and what is foolish : what is
right and what is wrong. By the pmper
education of his heart, he will be taught to
love what is good, wisa and right; and to
hate what is evil, foolish and wrong, and by
the proper education of his hand, he will he
enabled to supply his wants; to add to his
comforts, and to assist tlTose that aie around
him.
The highest objects of a good education
are to reverence and obey God. and to love
and serve mankind ; everything that helps
us in attaining these objects is of great val
ue, and everything that hinders us is, com
paratively, worthless. When wisdom reigns
in the head and love in the heart, the baud j
is ever ready to do girod ; order and peace |
smile around, and sin and sorrow are al
most unknown.
Be viituous, he temperate, he industrious. ;

Country Newspapers. —Newsptpers that
are published in a town or village are call
ed country papers, in oppositioi to those
published in the city.
Some people won’t subscribe ro country
papers because they say they see first every
thing contained in the city papers. These
arc very wise people surely, and they have
very shatp eyes too. If they don’t take the
country paper how do they know or see
what is in it? Do they borrow it and read
it, without the pleasu'e of paying for it?
No city paper can furnish country people
w ith matter in which they are half so much
interested as the courtry papers can ; be
cause the country papers narrate what oc
curs immediately arourd them. Marriages
and deaths of their friends—the advertise
ments of their neighbirs—the sales of per
sonal properly near them, which they are
in need of. These are matteis peculiar in
their neighborhood papeis alone, and most
agreeable to them.
A Faithful Step-Father. —A late Dublin
paper records the following extraordinary
circumstance, which recently occurred at
Menfalio House, near Ballymena, in the
county of Auti ini.
“A wild duck, partly in a domesticated
state, had foimed a nest in a email shrub
bery nearly opposite the door, wlete it was
patiently employed in tlie business of iu
cumbation. A desperate hut unequal con
flict ensued, which ultimately terminated in
the discomfiture and forcible ejectment
fiom the primisesof the vvebb fooled bellig
eicnt, on which the victot seatid himself
with infill te giavity on the eggs which he
continued to hatch with such exemplary
diligence and assiduity, that in due time a
promising blood of ducklings was exclud
ed. The adopted family lie has since at
tended with most anxious solicitude, care
fully leading them forth in search of food,
covering them with his wings during rainy
weather, and attacking, with ieathss iniie
pidity, poultry, flogs, or even cattle, whose
pioxinriry happens to he such as to excite
apprehension for the safety of his aquatic
charge. Sometimes the ducklings disport
themselves in a pond situated in the demesne,
on which occasions their extraordinary
step-father manifests the most extreme tei roi
and alaim running in repeated circles romu)
the water, and vociferating his discordant
notes with unusual and Vehccicnt volubility.”
The r dale Prohibited. —Dr. Franklin, in
Lis own life, has preserved the following
singular anecdote of the Bible being prohib
ited in England, in the time < f Alaiy. the
Catholic. His family had then early em
braced the refoimalion: “ They bid an
English Bible, and to conceal it the more
securely, they conceived the project of fas
tening it open with packthreads arioss the
leaves on the inside of a stool ? When my
grandfather wished to read to his family, lie
reversed ti e lid of the stool upon his knees
mid passed the leaves from one side to anoth
er, which weie held down on each side by
packthread. One of ihe children was at
the door to give notice if he saw’ an officer
of the Spiritual Court make his appearance;
in that case the lid was restored to its place;
and the Bible concealed under it as before.”
—Philadelphia Gazette.
Provident. —The Portsmouth (Ya.) Mes
senger tells a queer anecdote under this
head. A gentleman of that borough tint
lung since, having occasion to visit the apart
ments occupied by his seivants, discovered
among the effects of his favorite old house
servant, a pile of funeral cards, amounting
to some dozens, which on examination he
found to he those which had been sent to
the family at different times, on the death
of an acquaintance, extending back for a
number of years. On inquiring of Molly,
(for thot was her name) what she was go
ing to do with all these funeral raids, the
good old woman replied—“ Whoa, massa,
I’s ’specting to die myself ’foie long, and 1
has laid ’em up to sen’ to my frens to come
to de funeral.”
A handsome young widow applied to a
physician to relieve her of three distressing
complaints with which she was afflicted.
“ In the fiist place,” said she, “1 have
little or no appetite. What shall 1 take for
that, Dnctoi V
“ For that, madam, you should take air
and exercise.”
“ And, doctor, I am quite fidgety at night,
and afraid to lie alone. Whul shall Ido lot
that V
“ For that, madam, I can only recommend
that you take—a— husband /”
Fie! doctor. But 1 have the blues terri
bly. What shall 1 lake for thatl”
For that, madam, you have, besides ta
king air, exercise ami a husband, to take—
the newspapers. Sensible doctor, that.
In reference (o the modern practice of
advertising across two columns end making
a great display of capital letters,the Bangor
Enquirer very justly remarks :
We will lay u bet of u leather sixpence,
although from principal and interest we ate
opposed to betting, that the goods of those
merchants who advertise in such huge let
ters, are not a whit better in quality, nor
sold a whit cheaper, than those of their
neighbors, who are advertising in a more
modest and proper manner, and who put
their advertisements in the papers, and
keep their shop-hills oil their counters.
These large lettera look to us very much
like gull-1/ap.'s as they almost invariably are,
and also as a diiect insult to those for whose
eyes they are spread before the public.—
Beware of those who advertise that they
will sell “ below cost,” or “ cheaper than
the cheapest.” They either stole their
goods or they mean to cheat you.
Tobacco. —lt is estimated that in tfic Uni
ted States, with a population of sever.teen
millions, the annual consumption of tobacco
is one hundred and eighty millions of
pounds—equal to seven pounds for every
man, woman, and child in the country !

con. r. m. joiinson’b opinion ok ir. clay.
Mr. Editor —l am opposed to the prac
tice of giving publicity to fiieside conversa
tions, but when the leader of a great party,
in a respectable company of his fellow-citi
zens, composed of both political parties,
makes use of language either in praise or
derogation of a political opponent, 1 consid
er it no breach of propriety to give his vol
untary testimony to the world.
On the 130th of September last, Colonel
Johnson being in Staunton, Va. a number
of gentlemen paid him the respect of call
ing to see him. One of the company re
marked to him, “ Colonel, when you reach
the Rail Road Junction, you will he near
the Slashes of Hanover.” The honest old
warrior’s face immediately lit up with an
expression of cinceiity and pleasure, and
he eloquently said : “ I should he delight
ed to see that place. Every spot of ground
Henry Clay touches he immortalizes. I
have been in public life for forty years, and
in that time have beer, associated with all
the great men of the country. Leaving out
Madison and Gallatin, who were old men
when 1 first stepped upon the theatre of pol
ities, I will place Jefferson fiist, then Hen
ry Clay. He is a perfect Hercules in all
the qualities that can admit human nature.
Some men may exrel him in a single quali
ty —for instance, Webster may he a greater
logician, or some may he more renowned
for deep research, but take Clay all in all,
he lias not an equal iu the Union, either in
the north or the south—the east or the west.
In mot ill coinage—in physical courage—in
oratory —in patriotism, and in eveiv noble
quality, lie is without a superior. I have
been associated with him on committ?es in
connexion with Calhoun, Lownds, Cheeves,
Webster, and other distinguished individu
als, but Clay was the master spirit. We
locked up to him as the Ajax Telamon :
and by bis counsel we were guided in our
delibeiations. If the rest if the committee
assembled before him and were in doubt
i.bout how to proceed, when he made his
appearance, all eves Were turned upon him
(bete the Colonel represented by gesture
and expression how’ they looked) —and we
Were certain to he right when we followed
his opinion. He is a great man, a very
great man,”
] have given you the very words of Col.
Johnson. Ido not suppose that bis praise
can “ add a cubit to the stature of Clay”—
yet it may serve to show to the Democracy,
that in the opinion of one of their leading
men, Mr. Clay is not the monster in human
fiesli that many of them suppose him to be.
ONE WHO HEARD.
A National Currency.— Shall there be a
currency safe as gold ami silver, and, for the
purpose of exchanges, much cheaper and
more convenient? The best days of the
Republic have been when such a cunency
exist! and; its worst, when it was destroyed.
The idea of transporting specie where pay
ments are to be made, is ahsuid. Delay,
risk and expense are against it. To make
a cheap and, at the same time, convertible
medium of exchange, every where at | ar,
is the object of one of the political parties
into which the country has been divided.—
The Whigs contend, in the words of Mr.
Clay, for “ a sound notional currency, reg
ulated by the will and authority of the na
tion.” Their efforts to secure that blessing
to the country have been thwarted in a way
known to all, and by a man on whom we
have no terms to bestow—certainly not to
piaise. May the “conscience” of John Ty
ler, if he have any, be less a curse to himself
than it has proved to his countrymen.
It is needless to say—history records the
fact, that the first charter of the U. States
Bank was signed by President Washington,
the second by President Madison, and the
third fa bill fiirthat purpose] vetoed by Pres
ident Jackson. Admitting the constitutional
pow er of Congress to establish a Bank and
even the expediency of such an institution,
Gen. Jackson refused to sign the charter,
because he was not first applied to by Con
gress fin a model. The disastrous conse
quences of that act, and the subsequent in
flation of the currency by the State Bank
deposite system —ending in luin, are fresh
in llic public mind.
Os the fifty-four years the Government
has been in operation, a National Bank ex
isted forty of them, including the most pros
perous periods. The habits of the people,
their business, and their predilections bad be
come so identified with a national currency,
that even Mr.Calhoun, profoundly acquaint
ed as lie was with the subject, while advo
cating Mr. Webster’s proposition to contin
ue, for a limited time, the charter of the U.
States Bank, used language ill the Senate,
March 26, 1834, of w hich we give his friends
uiid the country at large the benefit.
Mr. Calhoun says : “After a full survey
of the whole subject, I see none—l can con
jecture no means of extricating the country
fiom the present danger, and to arrest its
fearful increase, but a Bard; —the agency of
which, in some form or under some authori
ty is indispensable.'’
Tiue Mr. Calhoun look the Bank as a
choice of evils. He said the common dis
tress had been produced by the Banks, and
they must he used as instruments in restor
ing the proper balance, “just as we apply
snow to the frozen limb in order to restore
vitality and circulation, or hold up a hum to
the Hunte to extract theinflammation.” To
suppress the Banks of a sudden, “would, if
it were possible,” says Mr. Calhoun, “work
a gtea'.er revolution, a greater change in the
relative condition of the various classes of
the community, than would the conquest of
the country by a savage enemy.”
After glancing at the several plans for
supplying a circulation as well as a Gov
ernment agent, Mr. Calhoun, in the same
speech says: “It would,however, be want
ing in candor on my part not to declare llint
my impression is, that anew Bunk of the
United Stales, ingrafted upon the old, wifi
be found under all the circumstances of the
case, to combine the greatest advantages,
and to be liable to the fewest exceptions.”
In the teeth of such authorities, with
what grace can the democratic party main
tain that the Bank is a Federal measure ? or
that it is not essential to the best interests
of the country ?
Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
“Washington, Nov. 22, 1543.
Some doubts have been expressed wheth
er tlie President will have the nerve to urge
tli eannexation of Texas against the fast gath
ering storm which it has excited, indeed, it
has been whispered, to-day, that the whole
thing will he a sash in the pan. It is said
that, finding hostility whereheexperted sup
port, he will strike out the whole subject
front his message. But the tone of the
Madisonian, up to this very day, gives no
indication ofjany such course.
Dissensions in the Cabinet are again talk
ed of, and Mr. Upshur and Mr. Spencer are
made to figure as leaders of the two factions.
There is little truth in it except so far as this
—that the breach between Mr. Upshur and
Mr. Spencer is utterly irreconcilable—that
Mr. Spencer’s influence has declined and
Mr. Upshot's become predominant. 1
would not be surprised at a speedy blow up
in the Cabinet, and the retirement of Mr.
Spencer. The annexation question may
produce a crisis, for it is well known that
this is Mr. U| shut's measure.
A few of the members have at lived,
made choice ot theirseats,and again depart
ed. Ml'. Senator Allen, of Ohio, has gone
to Richmond, as some say, to plan the Van
Bureti campaign, the oiganization of the
House, &c.
The organization of the House will be a
matter of gieat interest. In the first place,
it will he necessary to ascertain who aie
the members. That is not always the
New Jersey ease will attest. The mem
bers from Georgia, Missouri, New Hamp
shire and Mississippi aie elected by genetal
ticket, contrary to the apportionment law.
Mi. John Campbell, when his proposition
for suspending the law as to this Congress
failed, gave notice that he would contest the
light of members elected contrary to the
provision ot that law, to take their seats.—
It is now said rliat the wliigs will contest
these sea*, not with an expectation of suc
ceeding, but with a view to force the Van
Buten men to identify themselves with nul
bfication. Mr. Benton declared that the law
should le nullified, and 1 presume it will he.
There is an increasing probability of a
strong combination against the election of
Mr. Jones,'or any Van Buren caucus can
didate, as Speaker. It is now asserted that
there will he foitv anti-Van Buren demo
crats, who with lie wliigs, will ftu m a deci
ded majority. The western men are urging
their claims to the Speakership. Mr. Wil
kins, of Pittsburg, atid Mr. John W. Davis,
of Indiana, are spoken of.
Exhibition (f Domestic Products. —The
Baltimore Patriot recently proposed ilmt a
grand national Fair, or exhibition of Amer
ican products, should he held at Baltimore
next May, al the same time that the Whig
Young Men's National Convention assr m
bles. The Boston Atlas icmaiks, we think
the suggestion a most excellent one, and we
sincerely hope it will be adopted. It will
give additional eclat to the gloi ions occasion
upon which the W liigs of the Union will
then be convened. It will identify the
Whig cause, as it ought to he identified,
mote strongly even than if now is. with the
protection of the great interests of Ameri
can Industry. It will couple that great sub
ject with the election which is to take place
the next year—and it will indissolubly unite
the name of Henry Clay with the suppoit
of the ii lie American system. Let llie me
chanics, the manufacturers, the producers
of Baltimore set the iliing in motion. Let
them determine to hold a great National
Fair in Baltimore at that time—and invite
the co-operation of theii brethren thtongh
out the Union. YVe have not the least
question that the call would be impended
to cheerfully—ar.d that such a show would
be presented as would do honor to the coun
try, gladden the heart of eveiy American
who shall bel old it, and establish the pio
tection of American pro ducts and itidustiy
as the firm and settled policy of our land.—
Tropic.
The Locnfocos are alaimed at the threat
ening aspect of the political lioiizon. The
Democratic Review, their leading organ, lias
an aiticle full of warnings, supplications,
fears, threats, &c. It says: “The election
of ‘44 is to he no juke. Confound these
Whigs—they are like John Barleycorn;
they will not stay dead, although it so satis
factorily seemed at one time that their
brains were out.” “We adjure our friends
not to he unmindful, that even in the midst
of strength, we hold our pride of place by
a difficult and doubtful tenure.” As to the
Whig candidate, the Review says: “It is to
be Clay; Clay with an enthusiasm we envy
him the honor of having awakened in his
friends and his party, fur more than we
should that of the office with which they
ate so eat ucstly bent to adorn and reward
the closing yeais of his long political life.
Clay, and Clay alone can be the man—and
the indications are apparent enough, as in
deed cannot lie doubtful that the rally, and
the struggle to lie made for him, will equal,
if not surpass, in violence and lavish pro
fusion of means, the befoie unparalleled ef
forts of 1540.” And the victory, the Re
view might have added, will surpass that of
1840 too. The Review tells another truth
about the Whigs, when it says they “are
holding themselves back in reserve for next
year.” It is true, that scarcely anywhere
this year hasthe Whig strength been brought
out. It has been held back in reserve.—
Next year, flesh and vigorous, the Whig
army of fieemen will march to a bloodless
but glorious Victory of Principle—and won
too with that dearest weapon of a freeman,
the ballot box.
*■ Which is surer yet
And heller llinn ttie bayonet—
Which comes down as still
As snow dukes fall upon the sod.
Yet which executes the freeman's wilt
As lightning does the will of God.'’
