Our readera, however, will rcrollect that Mr.
Clay’i early biographer—PrkntIck, pfltae Louis*
villo Journal, when he sung Ida praises, gave hi*
liera much credit fur hia philanthropic exertiuna to
free the negro race—for Ida devotion to the citnae
. of freedom, without distinction of color. Indeed
• great number of the page* tif Mr. Clay's " Mo.
tnolrs," were filled with authoritiea on the aubject,
In reference to hia oxcrtioti* to emancipate the de
scendants of 11 am.
Our rondera will more easily recollect the event*
ful session of 1835 and 1830, when both llotiara of
Congress were inundutod with Abolition petition*
. —when the vile ngituima of the Tampan school,
a were'clreulnting their «6re*brnnd doctrine* through
m\ thtf land—when the Poat Offices tvero made the
^ meant of propagating the wretched and hypnerili*
cal production* of A.voklina Grimke, George
Thompson, nnd Wm. Lloyd Garrison, the“grcnt
unwhi|it." Our readers, will perfectly recollect
' that period, and'tltey will remember a “bill to pro*
ldbitdeputy postmasters from receiving, or Irons
mining through the mail td any State, Teiritory, or
Diattict, certuin papers therein menlinncd, the cir*
culaiiou of wliiclt, by the luws of suid State, Terri
tory or District mny be prohibited.” This law wus,
in Tact.to giva thepnitmaatera throughout the Union,
tha power to put u stop to the grentevil of circulating
Incendiary tracts; which were calculated to put'the
da’gger or the torch, or both, into the hands of the
slave population, to avenge imaginary evils. Mr.
Vam Durkn, wua then Vice President of the Uni
ted States, and,’ of course President of tho Senate.'
The vote was tuken on tho question “-shall the hill
pass!” It appeared that there were eighteen for
the bill, nnd eighteen against it. It beenme tho
President’(. duly to give the casting vote—and did
he shrink from that doty? NO! He came down
from the Chair, and voted in tlm affirmative. He
voted in favor of the rights of the South, urn! uguinst
the 'Abolitionist*.
Where was Hen'r'y Clay, at this hoar of trial?
Ho wns in hi* place in the Senate—nnd he voted
in the negative. He voted in favor of the All
ot itionuts-—and AGAINST THE. SOUTH !!! .
. Here is one 'facilbat is worth a million of pro
fessions. The Journals of Congress will show the
vute. All tlm exertions of the Abolitionists were
stretched at that lime, to extend their power and
accomplish their end*—and the result was, for n
period, proldemiuicul. . Thu Southern members Itad
it in contemplation to retire', in a body, from Con
gress— where they were every day subject to insult
• nnd repmnch, without redress. It was then that
^Martin Van Buren proved himself a friend to
tlie South. It wusthenthol Henry Clay proved
that he was recreant ? and that vuto alone should
turn every. Southron against liim.
But, who.doe* not remember tlint HkNRY Clay
was.the advisor and Privy Counsellor of John
v» Boss, and. the instigator of that individual in his
opposition to the luws of Georgia. To the hut,
'jV Henry Clay opposed the removal of the Chen,-
: :• kees,.trail used all Id* eloquence in favor of .the In
dian plondi rer, lions utid liis party. This was, how-
ever, part of his creed, as a philanthinpht of the
7. modern school; ami titiy recommend him to those
’l who nto in furor of waiving all distinctions r.f color
2 —bit we question whether any Georgian, nrnny in-
£ haliitaui of the Slate, will bo hnc.ly enough to make
[ it u clone of recommendation.
1 Wide pr* fassions, nnd democratic practice, nre
I two very different tilings—they* are shown in the
I speech of the whig Henry Clay—they nre shown
1 in tho vote of the demnerat'o Martin Vaja Burnett.
Mr. Clay bus given us empty words—Mr. Van
Buren has given us rent an l substantial benefit*.

WANDERING MINSTRELS.
In Switzerland, In Italy, and in France, a great
portion of the poorer classes arc brought up as itin
erant musicians. In Savoy, especially, and in tho
epuntry round tho Alps, the soil is too unfruitful to
give employment to the poor. A few garden vege
tables, nnd roots, nro all tliut it will yield. The
emulation, therefore, cannot find their labour profi-
‘TOble, or even receive the necessaries of life, in re
turn for their exertions. They incrcnso rupidly in
.these parts, and leave their natal soil in hordes,to
“seek their fortunes" in forcigtrlands. Tho organ
player, the harpist, the violinist, the performer on
the guitar, or the more humble turner of tho “hur
dy-gurdy," may be seon in all parts of tho globe
wherecivilizatinn exists—exerting their humbleabil-
ities to please ull. who *• have music in their souls,”
or money in their pockets.
It is common to. see in New York, Boston, and
Philadelphia, and also in the large cities of Europe,
poor little Italian boys of a tender age, with pup-
^ pet shows slung to their backs—with white mice in
cages—a talking parrot—or a smnll land tortoise,
conconlcd beneath their gnrmcnts, which they will
exhibit to the curious for tho smallest gratuity.—
These juvenile performers, nro most thrifty, and
examples are known whore some ofthem have made
largo sums of money, nnd became useful citizens.
Joseph Bonfanti, of New York, who in a fitof
somnambulism, walked out of a window, sometime
-since,was once a little Italian wanderer,who amassed
alarge fortune before his death, and was much res
pected in that city, as an upright and benevolent
man.
It is illiberal to look on these wanderers, as idle
vagrants. They work hard. They travel through
all countries on foot uud what nppeurs to us nothing
but tho whim of strolling mendicants, is to them
a regular calling. They follow.it from their youth,
and are fit fur nothing else. They nro not like tho
Gitanos, or Gypsies, who area light fingered race,
and seldom visit cities. The minstrels are peaceful
and honest, and practice no arts, unless to call into
'YfcqUtsitiori, tho gentle influence of sweet sounds.
Those poor wanderers glenn but a scanty pittance.
They are temperate in their hnpits, and easily satis
fied. They never taste “ strong wnters"—and a
crust of bread, and a draught from tho limpid spring,
is to them a cheerful feast. They are a happy race,
and we might envy them.
These remarks are drawn out, in consequunco of
hearing those “ houseless strangers" spoken of as
lazy and indolent—and unworthy of notice. The
reverse is tho fact.
A LOOKER ON IN VENICE.

cm all passenger* arriving from foreign
countries in our harbour, whereas, previously the
practice bad been to demand only one. The con
sequent* was, that some fifteen hundred or two
thousand poor and destitute foreigner*, a Ito hud not
the ability to meet this Increasetfdemand upon them
—for allthey had, had probably been expended in
paying their passage money, and tho previous com
mutation fee,—were driven away and landed near
Amboy, where they had to seek shelter and support
from tho companionate, whilst for week*, tho
avenues to tho city were guarded by police officers,
to prevent their entrance to it.
“Wo will not stop to inaulro into tho necessity,
which tho Gdtette urges existed, for tho exaction of
on increased commutAtion fee, but admit it on gen
eral grounds; yet surely, “common sense nnd com
mon hnnosty" required that some previous notice of
•it should have been given to those who would bo
colled upon to pay it; that men should not have
been allowed to leave tho countries of their birth on
tho faith of a long established practice, nnd on reach
ing tho land of their hope, find it closed to thorn by'
the introduction of an usage entirely now."
“ Murder will out," at last. Here, tho Courier,
in tho bitterness of its anguish—in its “weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth," tells ofthe misery—
•the countless, tho unknown number of unfortunate
foreigners who flocked to our shores, us the“'asylum
of the oppressed of all nations"—tho country which
they were taught to reverence, ns
."The land ofthe free ami the home of the brave,"
to kiss tho virgin sail .of Freedom—to chaunt tho
song of Liberty—no /—to bo turned away with scorn
and contempt by tho Whig Mayor of New York—
bo tossed again upon tho “ mountain wave"—to
tako their chance upon tho waters, through which
they had already passed. And, under what pretext
wore they kept from landing? Because they had
not $10 a pieco. It mattered not whether they were
tho countrymen of a Montgomery—of a Pulaski
—ofu Sterling —of a Lafayette—it wns enough
that they hod not ten dollars ! Oil magic power
of gold, what const thou not do? A bank robber—
a forger—a swindler, a cheat, might roam at Inrge
through the city of Gotham, under tho sway of Mayor
CLAnK-but the honest, hardy laboureretho “unwaah-
TedartUan,’’the despised materiel for tho manufacture
of a loco foco, should not pollute its “milky way"
uiiloss he could produce a passport in tho shapo of
ten dollars!!! Slandered Autocrat of all the Rus-
sias! Muligned Emperor of Austria!!. Belied Com
mander of tho Faithful!!! .Traduced,yet most high,
nnd mightyGreat Mogul!!!! Which of you, sovereign,
and royal despots, as you arc, would keep a poor-
hut honest—foreigner from entering your dominions,
under such a pleaf Not one! No! Itramnlned
for the j Whig Mayor of New York, to desecrate
the plains of Freedom,' by such a charge.
Yet, what reward has ho reaped? How have
his fellow-citizens recompensed him for his activity
in stemming the lido of immigration ? Simply, to
wulk him out of office, and “ leave him alone in his
glory." Mr. Clark is an advocate for depriving
naturalized citizens of their right of suffrage—ho is
for denying those who may arrive at our shores,of the
privilege of udnpting tho country as tiieir own. He
is ultra in these opinions, nnd we rejoice to suy,
finds few, very few, even among his own political
party, to sanction- his .views. But his race is run.
His day is over, nnd he may henceforth repose in
quiet; All he can do, will not deprive our great
country of the proud nnd brilliant appellation she
hfh long since received from tho patriotic nnd the
good. No! Sho will long remain, what she is—
" The laud ofthe free ami the home ofthe brave."

Wo tryike tha following extract* from its pages:
" The Seminolo nation Is principally made Up of
runaways (as their very namo implies) from tho
lowor Creeks, and it ha* occupied that portion of
Florida, the great majority not more than twenty
year*, and nearly- all not more than thirty years.
The Mieknsukles, the most ferocious, relentless nnd
war-liko‘of ull, joined the nation in 1819, when'
driven beyond tho Suwuiineo by tho operations of.
Ganernl Jackson. Even nt. that date, wbon tho
Florida* were first ceded to the United Stntes, it was
represented that they were reduced to great extre
mities fir want of tho moans of subsistence, Tho
scarcity of game wa* tho ostensible, cause, hut tho
true nno, doubtless, must be found in their idle and
vicious habits, being averse to the cultivation of thn
soil. As Spain hud in no wa^ncognised theanIn
dians when Floriduwascedeunt hcc.amo necessary,
as with oil tho Indaa tribes, to enter in a regular,
und’rstnnding with the Seminole.*, nnd this led to
the treaty of Fort Moultrie in 1823, hy which a cer
tain portion of tho peninsula was solemnly secured
to them, which, ol course, they never afterwards
could bo expected to surrender but with tiieir own
eonsent. It provided for their subsistence for one
year."

But to divest it entirely of nil equivocal lunguncc,

WHIG RULE IN NEW YORK.
" The land ofthe free and the home of the brave."
As a striking proof that the American people ore
still truo to the glorious principles,that overwhelmed,
and completely defeated the concoctors of the Alien
and Sedition Laws, and tho leaders of the Hartford
Convention, we mny refer to the late great victory of
the democracy in tho city of New York. An old,
yet true adage, says, when “ rogues fall out, honest
men will yet their own," and *o it is in this case.
The N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, which lauded
Aaron Clark, as tho very pink of statesmanship
and tho wisest of civic functionaries,from the days of
Dogberry himself, for activity in preventing the
landing of emigrants in New York (or rather,to use
*' "foreign paupers") la 1837—8,

* • MURDERERS!!!,
When murderers go “ unwhipt of justice," the
following from the Angusta Constitutionalist, is
in point. * Let it be read:
Thn Southern Spy of last Tuesday, informs
us, “ Only six individuals, charged with various of
fences. were at the bite term of Lincoln Court,
sentenced to the Vcuitentinry,!’ nnd that “ among
the number is Gray who wps pnrdoncd by the Leg
islature for the drime of murder." In the same pa
per, which contains the nhovo, wo find the following
communication, to which we call the attention ofthe
community.
[Foe the Southern Spy.]
Mr. Editor.—Legislative mercy seems tube pro-
duslivcof ivnfitlevent*—murderers tiro t'ec'ognized ns
the peculiar subject* of leeislntivc onnetments—and
crime increusesin twofold extent. The title of pol
lution gathers like n coming stornt, nnd tltc blond
of our citizens is shed with ini) unity. I f o: tho
importance of a rigid enforcement of tltc law in tre
ry cose, where the pr.tof is sufficient to establish
the puilt of the individual arraigned at thn lair. If
the offence ho ward r, bloody, aggravated murder,
for God’s sake, for the sake of our common country,
nnd for the snko of suffering humanity, let the guilty
offender be slain ucrording to law—let him suffer
death. Are we, in these days, more, humane and
more lenient than in the days of Moses? at which
period of the world, “ blood" was required “ for
blood.’’ Is it not also true, thnt tho first murderer
that over existed, was cursed with nn awful curse,
which rend, red him tho peculiar object of hatred
among men the remainder of his days ? Ar.d yet,
tho murderer is, in thi# our day, hy tho influcnccof
friends, and the power of his purse, turned loose
among us, with nil his guilt about him, ready far the
commission of deeds n* " black ns. hell."
Juryman, let no childish sympathies swerve you
from the discharge of those duties, which your coun
try require* nt your hands—let justice reign nnd nil
tongues be silent. I cull upon the Grand Jurors of
the country, to speak nut upon this subject, that
tho peuplo may awake, and sco that the laws are
faithfaliy and. strictly executed.
