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 Will it be repealed 1 Os course not.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. Fancy Elsaler is in Dublin, making fools •4 * F*™* 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. ?£D>mrntol. MARRIED, In this Cottrty. on the evening of the 21st ins'ant, by Rev E L.
