ner. During the evening the health <f
Henry Clay was proposed, and the brave
General responded as follows :
“ I take great pleasure in responding to
the sentiment which has just been received
with so much enthusiasm by the company,
for I am proud to he able to state that ‘.he
distinguished individual alluded to is my
firm personal and political friend. My own
inclination, as well as a duly which l owed
tothe country, prompted me to tender to
him the first post in my Cabinet, but in his
own good judgment, atm no earthly man
was blessed with a belter judgment, be de
clined it. and I felt willing to yield to his
wishes, hoth from the knowledge that my
admiiristtation would receive cordial sup
port from him as a Senator of the United
States, an.l from the experience which had
taught me that Henry Clay was always
right, let him differ with whom he may. I
consider his judgment superior to that of
any man living, for during my political life I
have never differ ed with him on any impor
tant subject that 1 did not alter wards become
convinced that he was right and I was
wrong.”
Gen. Harrison knew Henry Clay, and
his magnanimity would not permit him to
let an opportunity like that offered on the
above mentioned occasion, escape, without
expressing his approbation of the course of
the greut Statesman, and respect for his
character. Harrison has passed away ; hut
his and stinguished friend is now the candid
ate of the same party that elevated tie “old
soldier” to the Presidential chair. “Clay
and the Union !” is now the battle cry, arid
it shall l<e prolonged until it reaches the
ears of every voter in the land : and at the
ballot-boxes next full, the watrh-wmd will
be—“ Clay and the Union !’’— Forum.
Colonel. R. M. Johnson. —Evety body has
read Col. Johnson’s letter to the editor of
the Globe, defining his position in reference
to the locofoco nominal inns. The veteran
has lost all his spirit,- He is willing to ac
cept of any thing that his paity will give him
—lie will take the Presidency or Vice-Pres
idency, or any tiling else—no matter what.
“1 repeat,” says he, “between my friends
my position is that of neutrality, until the
conventioa shall act and dispose of me; in
the meantime. 1 am in the hands of the peo
ple. Should it he the pleasure of the con
vention to nominate me for the first office. I
should accept the hotint with gratitude and
reluctance. I should accept of the second
with tlianks and with pleasure ; ami am wil
ling to take my position among the rank and
file, if such be the pleasure of the conven
tion. without a murmur.”
This is a good dral like the man who call
ed oil Gen. Jackson during his administra
tion, and solicited an office. He named one
that was worth about 85,000 per annum, hut
the General told him that it was disposed of.
The applicant enumerated several orheis,
with either of which he would he satisfied.
The General replied, *’ My fiiend, 1 feel
very sorry to say to you that they are all
engaged.”
•• Well. General, 1 feel rather sorry my
self, but 1 am in ymir hands, and maybe you
can give me something, worth, say two or
three hundred dollars.”
•• It would certainly afford me great idea
sure to serve you in any way. my good
friend; l feel a very great regard for
you —but at ibis moment l have not a single
office, high or low, that I am at liberty to
give you.”
“ Well,General —General—I—1 —I— we
are about the same size—l am rather badly
off— can you spare me a pair of your oid
pantaloons !"—Philadelphia Forum.

The Tur : ff. —The Albany Evening Jour
nal closes an article relative to the proposi
tion of the loeofoens to repeal or modify the
present Tai iff’ system as follows :
“Go ahead gentlemen. Lay your Van
dal hands upon the Tariff’ if you dare!—
Tty more “ Experiments” if yon are not
satisfied with the past experience. The
country is just emerging from n long dark
night of wrongs and oppression. Agttcul
lure. Manufactures and Commerce are just
raising their heads. Prospeiity at last
dawns upon us. Let the followers of Van
Binen, in pursuance of his Anti-Tariff Let
ter, blast the iuteiests and dash the hopes of
the people, by striking a blow at the Taiiif,
and they will encounter a gale next fall, in
comparison with which the storm us 1840
was a mere gale.”
THE TARS WILL MAN, Ac.
Tune—The Washing Day.
The tars will man their gallant ships
And fling the canvass free,
Again unfurl the “ Bunting stripe”
And clicerly put to sea j
They'll heave, and weigh, and stow, and pull,
And sing and hois” away—
They'll hoist, and hoist, and hoist, and hoist,
And hoist in Henby Clav.
The Carmen long to see the loads
Os merchandise arrive,
For then the w harves, and streets, and roads,
Will be a busy hive :
They'll hack, and pack, and pile, and lash,
And drive, and carl away;
And cart, and cart, and cart, and cart,
And carry in Henby Clav.
7 he Press foretells a brighter day.
To cheer the Printer's breast;
They’ve turned the world the oilier way—
There's Sunrise in the West!
They’ll set and impose, correct and revise,
And print, and publish away ;
They'll publish, publish, and publish,and publish,
Tlie name of Henry Clav.
The Ladies—h'e-s the lovely band—
Our country’s joy and pride,
They go for Harry, hand in hand,
Maid, matron, belle, and bride.
To gain “Protection” for themselves,
They'll marry and marry away.
And tell their lovers, and husbands, and sons
To vote Ibr Henry Clav.
The rich, the poor, the bowed, the free.
Through all our tiolde land,
To bring the Nation's jubilee,
Will lend a helping hand ;
They'll pull together, all as one,
And shout, and work away—
Together, together, together, together,
Huzza ! for Henry Clay !

THE TWENTY SECOND.
Yesterday was the Birth-day of the im
mortal Washington, and hut fur the fact
that it is recorded in our almanacs, one-half
of our readers, in this section at least, would
not, probably, have thought of it. It seems
odd, even irrevelent, to us (having been so
much accustomed, in our boyhood, to the
notes of the “ spirit-stirring drum” and the
“ ear-piercing fife” on that day) to have it
pass off ns did yesterday, without the least
d-monsliation tin the pait of our citizens.
We have indeed hist something of the good
qualities—that patriotic devotion tit court:
try and her gallant defenders—possessed
hy our fathers; and, what is worse, we fear
the fire of patriot sm hunts less brightly in
the hosonis of each succeeding generation.
P. S. At the time the above was penned,
we forgot that tickets of invitation hud been
issued hy the young “men of our town to
their friends in this and neiglihoring conn-*
ties, for a Party in honor of the Birth of
the “ Father n r Ids Country.” But such
was the fact—and, judging from lire num
ber of pretty faces and spaikling eyes —to
say nothing of the preparations we saw go
ing forward for what is vulgarly called a
Havre —at the “ American” last fright, we
opine the *’ lads anti lasses” present were
riot forgetful of the occasion which brought
them together.
THE “ DISCARDED.”
This highly interesting tale is concluded
in this day’s paper. In our next wc shall
republish a story which was written for us,
and published in the “Southern Post,” some
seven years since, entitled the “ Indian
Grave.” It is from the pen of one of our
must gifted citizens. ‘
a? An old and ardent friend of The ]
“ Miscellany” handed us lire names of ten
new subscribers yesterday. We thank him
sincerely for his kind efforts in behalf of the

continued good will shall be unremitting.

the most beautiful thing of the kind we
have ever seen, this number Is illustrated
with thiitecn large and twerr'v two small
Historical engravings, besides initial letters
to each Chapter. It is printed on the finest
paper from the standard copy of the Amer

most magnificent publication ever issued
from the Ameiican press. S. A. Holmes,
of the “ Literary Depot,” Augusta, has the
numbers for sale, to whom we would advise
our readers to send their orilets. We will
take pleasure in exhibiting our number to

MR. CLAY.
We understand that the Committee ap
pointed by our Clay Club'a few week's
since to invite Mr. Clay to visit Madison,
have received a reply ftom him. But as he
was unable to state definitely whether he
will take our town in his route, they have
concluded to wait until they heitr farther
from him before they call the Club together.
We sincerely hope he will find it conven
ient to honor us with his presence.

THE DISPUTED) SEATS IN CONGRESS.
.The. H -.iif-e of” Representatives have de
cided that the menilwrs of that body, who
’ w'ert* clef ted contrary to law—i. e, by the
general ticket system —are entitled to their
seals. Tlrpy vvill, therefore, retain their
seats, the Constitution and the Law to the
contrary tint withstanding. Oil this subject,
the “ National liitellig’ Ucer” uses the fol
lowing language :
Oft Ire merits and constitutionality of the
law of the last Congress, which tlit- House
of Represenlalives has ridden over and
troddefein the dost, we have al eadv here
tofore ? delivered *or opinion, with the
grounds -of -it ; and urn that head we have
nothing to add.
But nr doctrine has been set up during the
dehatesnn-jhis question, and has been made
the griMnU-of decision against the law,
whiebvalthough not entirely new—for we
hnvt* larfoce now seen and fell it in the Gov
er pmeni—ls lint truly contrary to the spirit
..ftbe Commitytiii, hot has been signally
condemned and reprobated by the highest
judicial tribunal of the country. We re
fer.To.4be pretensions set up for the House
of Rv’pfesentatives, under its power to
judge. of the elections and returns of its
of a right to go beyond the
law jumper, which an election has been held,
and decide upon the degree in which the
law is to be obeved nr disobeyed ; n other
words.(assuming thejiidicial function) to pay
regard-a lul respect, to only .so much of any
law as suits its pleasure. This is the very
power claimed fop the Executive and acted
upon amlcr the Administration of Getr.
Jackson, viz. that the President is hound to
obey the Constitution of the United States
.only as,-he chooses to understand it, and to
nbe-y the.lavvs nl|ly as he chooses toexpomid
them. As did the Executive then, so does
the Huuae.nl'Representatives now, take up
on itself to act- independently of the law,
under the. assumption, groundless and pre
posterous as it is, of a right 011 its part to
determine, not whether requisitions of
law have been complied with, but whether
or not those requisitions of law are precise
ly conformable-to the Constitution as (he
House eh noses to understand it.
This is Nullification, with a witness;
Nullification of n new order; Nullification,
hy one branch of Congress, of a law pars
ed hy both branches and approved by the
President, and which no less authority than
that of the House of Represent at ives,. Sen
ate,- awd President united can r epeal, nor
any-less authority than that of the Supreme
Court of the United Stales judir ially annul.
The power conferred upon earlr H mine
of Congress, under which ibis right to nul
li/'i/ /rrmr.it*-claimed, and l as now la en ex
ercise*!—that is tossy, tlie power to “judge
oft he elec) ions, returns and sp.alificatious of
its ‘.own uvemhers,” most plainly was never
intended ! fo rotifer rqmii either House the
authority to tepeul a law. or to nullify a law,
hy assuming-limi a law is void. The pow
er, con fir 1 red upon each House by this de
cision is,'on the contrary, but a mere minis
terial power, precisely the same as every
sheriff or judge of an election has and ex
ercises; to apply the law as it stands on the
statute-book; a power given to r-ach House
only fopi'otect itself against errors or frauds
anil --false returns, which may have been
committed or escaped correction hy the re
turning officers afoiesaid : anil any exercise
of authority la-yond that obvious limit to the
power-of each .'House is an arrogation hy
that House of power not belonging to it,
being the province of another department
of the Government.
The decision which has been made, how
ever,'hy the House w ill I■ Mil iniltr il to lor
the pne**enl. beer.use submission to it is h
lesser evil Ihim immediate resistance might
prove, to be. Bni the lime will come when
this decision will Ire revised, and reversed,
ft is a decision which cunno: stand, because
it is not only against law, but contimy to
cmrunpij sense.
The question involved in this decision is
so very plain, that it may he safely left to
the soU-r judgpient of the body of the Peo
ple. They vvill answer, we doubt not, in
very'intelligible terms, through their Re
presentatives in ihe next Congress, that
they are opposed In the doctrine of Nullifi
cation in every form, and quite aa much to
Nullification of ‘Tile La'ws of the United
Stan's by a single branch of Congress as by
e single .Statu of she Union.

GENERAL CLINCH.
Our newly elected Representative has. it
will lie seen by the following extract from
the pr-ieeedings of Congress, on the 12rh
instant, taken his seat ill the House of Re
presentatives :
“ Mr. Chappell introduced to the'House
Mr. D. L. Clinch, (the gallant General of
that name.) Representative elect from the
State of Georgia, who was qualified and
took his seat.”
NEW APPOINTMENTS.
The President lias appointed William
Wilkins, of Pennsylvania, Secretary of
War, and Thomas \V. Gilmer, of Virgin
ia, for the Department of the Navy— which
appointments have been continued by the
Senate.

C7* We learn from the Columbus “ En
quirer,” of Wednesday last, that Mr. Bear,
the “Buckeye Blacksmith,” and Mr. Mose
ley, the *• Kentucky Pump-maker,” had ar
rived in that city, and were to address the
people on that day.
We also learn, from the same paper, tiiat
the time of Mr. Clay’s visit to Columbus is
now definitely known. He will be in that
city, without n unexpected intervention,
on the 11 th day of March.
07* The editor or the New York “ Re
public"—like many of his loco bretluen
that we wot of in this section—is in a quan
dary. He cannot make up his mind who to
support for the Presidency. Martin Van
Bitten, lie is aware, cannot be elected—
Buchanan has declined the nomination, and
be tins not ascertained whether or not, it
would be prudent to advocate the claims of
Tyler, Cass or Johnson. Wait patiently,
General, the Baltimore locofuco Convention
is to assemble in May.
07°* Tbe winter at the North has IxTti
one of iiiiusiirl severity. A gentleman in
Brunswick, Maine, has kept minutes of the
coldest days for the last ten years, and he
pronounces the weather on the 11th instant
the coldest—the thermoneler being 32° be
low zero.
Q7* Someofthe Vermont girls are so fat
that they often melt in the sunshine of love
and—ran away. So says the “ Sunday
Meirury.”
CT* Four Christian women were baptis
ed. entered the Jewish Church, and were
married to Jews, in New York a short time
since.
(7* Prentiss, of the “ Louisville Jour
nal,” in noticing the fact, that the rowdy
memlier of Congress from Alabama, Mc-
Connell, had been expelled from the Tltea
tie for bis indecency anil blackguardism,
while lie is still allowed to retain his seat in
Congress, says that this “shows that the
Tlieatie is a more decent establishment than
the House.”

“ anU-hutterflivily of Shaksfieare.” Well !
if that isn’t anew verbal coinage we know
not wlint is.
Q 7” Mr. Clay has accepted the invitation
of the citizens of Milledgeville to visit that
place,
07* The fine imposed upon General
Jackson by Judge Hall, will now be refun
ded to him. The bill for that pur|K>se, af
ter passing the House of Representatives,
passed the Senate of the United Slates, on
the 14th instant, by a vote of 30 to 16.
We do hope we shall bear nothing more
about “ Genetal Jackson's fine.*’

learn that the House of Representatives of
Mississippi, on the 22d ultimo, rejected a
bill io divide the Stute into Congressional
Districts, by a vote of 51 to 35.

of Roheit Willia Flournoy, Esq. Mr.

.. .... FJfiST GUN FOR 1844 I
The returns received by yestenUyV
snails bring* us the ehtx rwg intelligence
that our friend* in Mhivluiul have elected
five nut of six <>f their cniidiclates for Con*
gross. The returns ore not entirely com*
plete. Imt they leave no doubt whatever of
the election of the Whig candidate* in thn
First,Second, Third, Fourth and SixthDis
trict*—viz. Messrs. Cousin, Brengle, Weth
ered, Kennedy and Spence. In the Fifth
District the result is somewhat doubtful*
although, from present appearances, says
the “ Forum,” the chances are favorable to
the success of Dr. Preston* thu Whig cans
didate.
This is “glory enough for one day,**
and proves clearly that our friend t in Mary*

very effective manner.

Some nnmes are much more odious and

others. The leim “Jacobin,” a* lately ap

the editors of the ('lnonicle & Sentinel, is
ail instance of the kind.
I imagine tile editois are original in this

United States, I suppose they will not re
quire a patent right for the num l '.
The Jacobin party of the horrible revo
lution in France were of the warmest ma*
teiials for the riolil* of the people—their
measure* and means used, were more like
theacr* of demons let loose from bed than
inhabitants of the earth. The D< mortals,
as a patty, in these United States, are friends
to tiiieify, to commoti arid equal rights—
and, although, in my humble opinion, en

cannot call them “ Jacobins”—it is t<mi odi
ous, and entiiely out of point or propriety.
The Democrats, in their mistaken policy*
h ve fieqnenily shook our country almost to
its centre, hut they have honutahly submit
ted to a “ tomjni.miie'’ of the Tariff” and
seein willing to be occasionally corrected.
As long ns we have such political giants as
Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, our gloif
dus Government, with all its blessings for
good Whigs and good Democrats— not
“Jacobins' —will be pet pel tinted to the end
of time. K.
