Hekry Clay. —We find ihe following spit”
it-stirrina appeal in our exchanges, credited
to the Carlisle (Pa.) Expositor. It speaks
loudly in favor of the patriotism and talents
of the editor of that staunch Whig Journal.
The Expositor says:
” The nomination of Henrv Clay by the
National Convention will come as a bugle
blast M the waiting ears of the people, rous
ing them from despair and inspiring them
with hope and courage ! Like the signal
of Rhoderick Dhu. in the Highlands of Scot
land, whose shrill whistle in an instant
“ Gar,soiled the glen.
With thousands of his daring men,”
the nomination of Henry Clay by the Balti
more Convention will wake up the Ameri
can people from their death-like apathy.—
This is what the country is wailing for.—
Wearied out with experiments upon the
currency, by which the country has been
brought to the verge of wreck, the people
look for the restoration of prosperity in the
administration of the government by Henry
Clay. Too long have his admonitions and
warnings gone unheeded—too long have
the people been made the prey of designing
demagogues with the stale cry of “ Democ
racy” upon their lips—too long have the
eminent services of one whose protound
statesmanship, matchless eloquence, and
lofty love of country, have not only placed
him in the front rank of statesmen, but made
him the pride and boast of the country, gone
unrewarded—too long has justice been with
held from HENRY CLAY.”
What will be the Fate of the Tariff ?
Will it be repealed 1 Os course not. The
Democracy will not venture upon direct
taxation. There is a public debt already of
twenty five millions, and six millions more
will be added the coming year. The lower
House will not we fear legislate with the
least prudence or moderation on the tmiff.
If they do not, they may as well spare time,
for they will be checked in the Senate.—
There are some modifications in the tariff
however, which ought to lie made, both for
the sake of revenue, and because the duties
are ton high—so much so as to be almost, if
not quite prohibitory. Moderate protection
i * all that sound m irmfactur ing establish
ments, deserve, and all that they really care
about. Ultra tariff notions are to our mini)
almost os objectionable ns ultra free trade
doctrines. The State of Georgia at litis
time, or at least the Whig portion of it,
stands upon strong and fair ground in re
ference to the tariff. It is dcti imental to no
great interest, while it refuses to place the
labor of our own countrymen at the feet of
foreigners. Americans cannot all lie shep
herds and tillers of the soil, atul any policy
is anti-American which would make themsn.
The present tariff will we trust be carefully
revised, so that prohibitory duties may Ire
reduced to that point where a foreign com
petition may be insured, and home manu
factures protected as much as they need
to be at the same time. Too much pro
tection is calculated to do more mischief
thin good, as it stimulates too rapid and un
wholesome a growth. We fear however,
thit mirderaiion will not govern the couni ils
of our opponents, but we will wait patiently
for results. We doubt not that a moderate
duty will he imposed on tea and coffee.
This has been done Irefore and it never
made any diffeienco iu the price. Such a
du'y would injure neither manufacturer nor
producer, as we neither manufacture tea
nor grow it.— Savannah Republican.
T 1 ‘ihg Banner. —The Committee ap
pointed to designate and procure the Ban
ner, to be presented on behalf of the Whigs
of Baltimore, to such State Delegation to
the Young Men’s Whig National Conven
tion of Ratification, as shall have the largest
proportionate number in attendance, having
in view the Whig population of the several
States as tested at the Presidential election 1
of 1840, and their relative distance from
this city, have tesnlved on the following:
The Banner will be painted on Satin—
On the front side will he painted a portrait
of HENRY CLAY,on a shield, supported
by two female figures, the one on the right,
Agriculture, sup|orted by aSbeaf of Wheat;
the nnlfe on the left Fame, in the act of re
cording the many noble, useful and patriot
ic fcets in the life of that great American
Statesman and patriot. An Eagle perched
on the top of the Shield, will tepresent the
arms of the United States, supported by
Henry Clay. On the back ground will be
painted appropriate emblems, representing
Agriculture, Commerce, Manufactures, and
Mechanic Aits; and below the vignette will
be painted in gold two cornucopias, the fruit
and flowers contained therein painted in nat
ural colors; all Intended to he illustrative
of the abundance, prosperity and general
beneficial effects that will flow from the es
tablishment of the measures advocated by
the Whig party, with Mr. Clay at its head.
Part of the front side of the Banner will al
so be richly embroidered with chenille.
On the reverse side will be peinted iu the
form of a Wreath, the Coat of Arms of each
State of the Union, connected hy richly
painted and gilt work—inside of the wreath
thus formed, will be painted an appropriate
motto.
The top piece, usually consisting of a
round strait rod, w : ll he something entirely
unique, being in the form of a broad bow,
highly carved with fruit, flowers, &c., and
other ornamental work will be of the most
splended description
T)ie Banner will he supported by a Stnff
cut by the hands of Henry Clay himself,
from the growth of the soil of his own Ash
land. On the top of the staff over the Ban
ker will 1* placed, plated with gold, the
Roman Fasces, or bound teeds, represent
ing the unaninmity of the Whig Party, and
their determination to preserve inviolate
the Union pf the States.
Thg design is by Mr. William Curlett, a
superior artist of this city, by whom it will
be painted. The arrangement of the Ban
ner, Embroidery, Trimings, &c. will be ex
ecuted under the direction of Mr. John
Cade.
The entire c6t of the Banner will be
about 8800.

Watchman, what of the Night ?—What
of the night T Why. it has vanished and the
sun is up, high in the heavens. In Ten
nessee, in Georgia, in North Carolina, iu
Vermon', in Rhode Island, in Ohio, and
almost iu Pennsylvania; iu all these States
the dark night of Tvlerism and Locofoco
ism has passed away, and forever, hefoie
the glorious sunlight of Whig principles!
In 1839, the Whigs carried only three- States
of the 26; in 1840. they rallied 19; W hat
1837 was to IS4O, we tiu-t 1843 will Ire to
1544, except that there is every probability
of Mr. Clay’seleciion by even a greater ma
jority than General Harrison’s. The Whigs
of New Jersey, no longer stunned by the
effect of Tyler’s treachery, are every where
organizing and marshalling for the field.—
And the Whigs too, of the “Bunker Hill”
State are burnishing their arms and “ pick
ing their flints,” to try it again ! They have
resolved in their hearts that Marcus Morton
can no longer be Governor.— Phil. Forum.
A Wasliington correspondent of the New
York A met item writes—
President Tyler is outrageous about the
election of Blair and Rives, as Printers.—
He says the contest is now nai rowed down
to Clay and Van Buren, and the chances
arc two to one in favor of Clay. Now, no
thanks to him for this as news —we knew it
loog since; hut it is news, that he should
at length have a perception of the truth.
There is a rumor that some of our New
York Locos called on him, to procure Rome
removals and appointments, further to “Dem
octatize” the Administration. “No, Gen
tlemen, you have inflicted upon me the
greatest personal insult, by tiie election of
Blair ami Rives; you have thereby endors
ed all their attacks upon me. 1 cannot as
sist you with further appointments.”
Density of Bodies at various Depths. — Ex
periments have been made which shows
that air compressed into the fiftieth part of
its volume, has its elasticity increased in fifty
fold proportion ; and that if continuously
contracted at that rate, from its incumbent
weight, acquires, at the depth of thirty-four
miles, the density of water; while the wa
ter itself would have its density more than
double at the depth of ninety-three miles.
In descending, theteforc, towards the cen
tre of the earth, at, say four thousand miles,
the condensation of ordinary substances
would surpass the utmost powers of concep
tion. Doctor Young (Matthew) says that
even steel would he compiessed into one
fourth, and stone into one-eighth of ils ordi
nary hulk at the earths centre. It is too
true, that we are yet imperfectly informed
of the laws of compression, as it operates
on solid bodies beyond a certain limit. If
credence he given to the result of the ex
periments made hv Perkins, as well as to
the opinions of Sir Isaac Newton, who was
pleased to risseit, that soporous was matter,
that the whole earth may he compressed
into a solid mass of one cubic foot, vve have
much to comprehend on this subject.
A beautiful Centre Table. —Mr. Tyler
Headly thus describes, in llieN. Y. Tribune,
a Mosaic centre table, which he lately saw
in Rome.
“It was finer work than ever I saw in a
breastpin at home. It needed the closest
inspection to detect it was not a painting
The man had been feir years in finishing it,
and had just received an order for it from a
Russian Princess, who was to giv<* him
81000. It represents Rome in four differ
ent aspects, the scenes going around the
outer edge of the table. -First, the “ Piazza
del Popolo,” hy sunrise, vyith its gate and
obelisk ; second, St. Peter’s with its glori
ous colonnade, ohlisk. and fountains, under
the blaze of a bright noonday : next came
the Forum, the Capitol, the ruined Palace
oftlie Caesars,and the lonely columns stand
ing around this focus of old Roman glory,
bathed in the soft light oftliesettingsun; last
of all came the Coliesum hy moon light,
and a more perfect moon, 1 never saw
painted. It had besides an elaborately
wrought centre piece. I never broke the
commandment, “Thou shnlt not covet,” so
much in halfan hour of my life as during the
time I was inspecting this table.”
A Beautiful Simile. —“\Vc heard a minis
ter, in a pulpit a short time ago relate the
following historical fact, and apply it to
Christian duty. There is an electric force
—an unction arising fioin its contemplation,
that ought to amuse, elevate, and quicken
the feelings of every Christum in contem
plating the beauties oftlie parable.
The minister remarked that historians
said, that the eagle, when the clouds black
ened and lowered, and the wind and storm
arose to a fearful extent, would weigh with
instinctive precision its ability to withstand
its force without injury. If t!e storm hid
fair to rage with too great foice, the eagle
would spread its broad wings and soar
above it ; and from its proud attitude would
look down with serenity and composure on
the devastation below. The application to
christians, was to persuade them to imitate
the noble eagle. When bickerings and
strife arose in the church or society; and
when the storms of civil or religious discord
were rising higher, and the wrath of God
was thundering in his providence into the
ears of his provocators, then they should on
the pinions of their faith rise above the
world. This needs no comment. Oh that
Christians would learn to emulate the Eagle,
and proudly, through the influence of the
Divine Spirit, tiample the world beneath
their feet.”— Exchange Paper.
Origin of several Fashions. — Fashions
have frequently originated in endeavors of
the inventors to hide some deformity.—
Hoops, for instance, to conceal an ill shaped
hip; ruffles a scar on the neck, pet haps ;
latge sleeves history does not mention, and
conjecture might not he acceptihle. Patches
were invented in the reign of Edward VI,
by a lady, who in this manner covered a
wen on her neck. Charles VII of France,
introduced long coats to hide a pair of crook
ed legs. Peaked shoes full two feet long
were invented hy the Duke of Anjou, to
conceal a deformed foot. Francis 1 was
obliged from a wound in the head, to wear
short hair, and hence the fashion. Isabella
of Beveria, was proud of her beauty, and
aCD'UHHEIIB&St Snaß’<olßlL& AStlT*
intmducad the custom of leaviug the neck
i and shoulders uncovered. Charles V. by
severe edicts, oauislu-d tight breeches ; and
during the reign of Elizabeth enormous
lai”** breeches came in fashion. The beaux
of that day stuffed their breeches with rags,
featiiers, wool atxl other light stuff till they
lesemhled huge hales of niltoti. To come
up with then., the ladies invented large pet
ticoats. It wus said that two lovers could
not come within seven feel of each other!
At one time square toes inn to such a w idth
that a proclamation was issued that no per
son should wear shoes mote than six inches
at the toes.
To the Young—Early Piety will prepare
you for Usefulness. — Living iu a world of sin
and suffering, you ought to do all in your
power to promote the happiness of your
fellow men ; hut you cannot he in the high
est degree useful without feivent and con
sistent piety. Live in impenitence, and
you will not only diminish your happiness
hut also the happiness of others. .Such is
the evil nature of sin, that it often destroys
the happiness of a great many besides the
person who commits it. Look fur example
at intempetaiice; it not .only ruins the
health and happiness of the poor man, who
indulges in it, but clothes his wife atul chil
dren in rags and shame. I have known a
great many intemperate men. and never
knew one that did not cause more or less
unhappiness to his family. Every sin lias
a tendency to injure othets besides the sin
ner hirnself; and no person can foretell
what may he the effect of any sin upon his
own welfare ortliat of others. “One sinner
destroyet'i much good,” and thus does much
injury in the world. If then you wish to
he useful, if you wish to promote your own
happiness and that of others, begin by mak
ing early consecration of your selves to the
set vice of youi Redeemer.
Death. —Heavens! what a moment must
that be, when the last flutter expires on our
lips! What a change ! Tell me, ye who
are deepest read in nature, and iu God, to
what new worlds ate we bom ‘! Look up
on that cold, livid, ghastly coipse that lies
before you ! That was hut the shell, a gross
and earthly covering which held for awhile
the immortal essence that has now left it—
left it, to lai.ge, ptl tips tl i< 11.1 illi.n i
nated space; to receive new capacities of
delight, new powers of perception ; new
glories to beatitude f Ten thousand fan
cies rush upon the mind as it contemplates
the awful moment between life and death!
It is a moment big with imagination’s great
est hopes and fears; it is the consummation
that clearsupall mistery—resolvesalldoubts,
which removes contradiction and destroys
error. Great God ! what a flood of rapture
may at once burst upon the departed soul.
The unclouded brightness of the celestial
regions—the pure existence of etherial be
ing—the solemn secrets of nature may then
be divulged ; the immediate unity of the
past, the presen’ and the future; strains of
unimaginable harmony, the forms of imper
ishable beauty, may then suddenly disclose
themselves, bursting upon the delighted
scenes and bathing them iu maesuieless
bliss. The mind is lost iu the excess of
wonderous light, and dares not turn from
the heavenly vision to one so gloomy, so
tremendous as the departure oftlie wicked!
Human fancy shrinks hack appalled.
Education of Children. —What a noble
sentiment was tl at of John Adams, which
he conveyed to his wife, when public du
ties for a time seperated him from his fami
ly. “ The education of our children is nev
er out of my mind. Turin them to virtue
—habituate them to industry, activity, and
spirit. Make them consider every vice as
shameful and unmanly. Fire them with
ambition to be useful. Make them disdain
to he destitute of any useful knowledge.”
What a valuable lesson is this—coming
as it does from a man who had reached the
highest summit of human greatness. Ev
ery parent should treasuie it up, and keep it
constantly iu mind.
If all of us who aie parents, would make
this sentiment true, so far as we are con
cerned, what a lovely face would society
present —“ The education of my children is \
near out of my mind.”
Bore Late in Lfe. —Tiie following ex- ,
traordinary statement appears in the Paris
“Journal do Commerce:”—“Two individu
als of Pargrey have been remarked for
their attention to a lady residing in the
same village. On Sunday the 3d ult, the
two rivals happened unfortunately to meet j
at the house of the lady, Madame N. A :
quarrel ensued, w hich would have been at- j
tended with unpleasant consequences, had j
they not been separated. The following :
day, one of the parties was found dead iu
his bed. The authorities having been in
formed hy the public that the death of the
party was the result of the scene of the
preceding day, an examination of tlie
corpse was made, which demonstrated that
death had been caused hy a rupture of a
blood-vessel id the heart. The deceased
was 80 years of age, his rival 77, and the
lady 00.
“ Licking Basses.” —At the Thanksgiving
•linnet, iu Philadelphia, got up by the New
Englat tiers resident in that city, the cere
mony of Licking Lasses was gone through
between the courses. It is thus described
by the reporter of the Ledger:
It consisted of passing an enormous glass
bowl, filled with molasses, in which was a
pine stick, neatly whittled for the occasion,
around the table, beginning with the Presi
dent, and mnking every individual stir the
same with the stick, take a quantity upon
his fore finger, and lick it off, without let
ting any drop, or without smearing his face.
The dexterity with which this operation
was performed constituted the test of a
true blue Yankee. None were permitted
to avoid the ordeal, and the awkward at
tempts that were made dieted roars of
laughter and shouts of delight from the
company.
Never go about in the night time with
your fists in your pocket. No man has a
right to carry concealed weapons.
