Ilut Kate was immediately cured of the •ighing, If JCUen, from iter body of admirer*, cast a glance Vid a smile to the nook where she was;, for the oousins were mutually fond and proud of each other, and die best friends in the world. •* Proud of each- other V' asks some one. " what had Kate, pray, that anyone should be proud of her?” My dear reader, she had a well stored and a well balanced rnind; ahe was the charm of the winter evening fireside, when sitting with her grand pare, ts ami cousin El len; both iho girls were orphans; ahe made them happy by relating to them the most amusing anecdotes sin* had raad during the day, the most interesting adventures she had met with in her strolls; in short, without knowing of such an art ns that of conversation, our Kate had acquired it perfectly. Then was Ellen the nuiet admirer and listener; she had the good sense to know that Kate was far her superior. Kate had no lovers! Ofcourse no:; the idea ia absurd; he never thought of the responsibility of such a thing, and o tacitly was it understood and firmly was it believed, that Kate was "cut out* for an old maid, that it had long been settled between the cousins, that whenever Ellen should clioo*ie a husband from among her admirers, Kate should play the single sister of her household. Rut, ns yet, both were " fancy free;" so thought they, and so thought all; and so in fact t was, much as our young minister, who fre quently visited the olrl folks, wished that it was not; but as long as he thought hrs secret unsuspected, he tried to be contented with his fate, ft had eoteied Kate's mind, for ahe saw more than others, from her habits of quiet obser vation, that perhaps the grave, reserved, -and dignified Mr. Gray, might be captivated by the all conquering graces of * Ellen ; for, from time immemorial, she knew that, in cases ♦d* Jove, it had been a settled prir.cipie. that unlike qualities should unite ; and Kate liked him well enough to wish hint a«>‘< e*s. Ellen law his superiority, anu confessed to herself the love of s^cli a man was wi.rth winning. A slight J^i from Kate, with the slightest possible smile, when Mr. Gray was the subject of praise—as a minister always is in a little town—revealed to Ellen the suspicions of Kate, and with her eyes now open to the subject, sue de termined to understand how the matter stood, for she could not deny to ltd-self that site felt a pleasure in believing Kate *W*-. ., , M Is it possible,” said she to herself, "that Mr. Gray and I nre in love with each other, mid that Kate only knows it 7" K .Jcn was no novice in love, and she-knew every symptom of an incipient love affair; when Mr. Gray, iheretore, en ured for his usual morn ; n^ call, he wassobjected to a close scrutiny. He came with lus usunl gifts of wilt) flowers for the young Indies, and cheerful chat for the old people.— With the air of gallantry to which Ellen was accustomed, and an easy flow of compliment, he presented a bunch to | her, but proffered in silence the remainder to Kate. "This is rather mystify’mg’/’ thought Ellen, "can Kaic be wrong?” and, as she again looked up, she saw that his eyes still rest- • 1 on Kate. The truth flashed upon her. "It is Kate her- aulf* M she said. Ilei opinion was confirmed, when she no ticed that her own flowers were the gay and gaudy ones which the careless loiterer cannot fail to notice every where, while Kale’s were tho.se sweet and modest ones which must be sought beneath the tall grass, and among the thick hedges. And how did Ellen feel under this conviction ? First there came a pang of wounded vanity; then an earnest "thank God I nin yet heartwhole;” then a generous wish that Kate might return his love, and then a glow of girlish triumph, that for once she was more clerir-aigluea than Kate. It was some months afier this, and Ellen had kept her se cret most discreetly, when, during a sunset ramble, they were joined by Mr. Gray. Their stroll was so wr.ntlering and unsettled in its plan that each oecasioiwrily left the oth ers, in pursuit of flower, or berry, or bird; and Ellen, iq un usually Inch glee, was flitting about like a mere child, when it suddenly occurred to her that, though Kate was constant ly railing her back to adrni e something which Mr. Gray bad found, the gentleman showed no particular anxiety to detain her. " Please, Mr. Gray,” sard she, 11 may I have leave of ab sence for half an hour 7 1 don’t like to be *fle trop,* ” and with a laugh at Kate's look of consternation amf Mr. Gray’s . riling color, she darted* off into a shady path, and was sion out of sight. I have admitted that Ellen was discreet; and instead of joining them at the end of half an hour, she walked quietly home, and telling her grand parents that Kate had strolled farther with the minister she tried to wait patiently her re turn. It was quite dark, and the old people were getting anxious before this happened—and then Mr. Gray stepped in to say Kste must not be scolded, and so bade trood night in all. with a pressure of the hand to Ellen, so kind that she couTdi not help laughing, and asking his forgivenes i for run ning away from them; and thereupon, the minister said, M God blesa you Ellen,” with an earnestness that proved it n come from his h *art, and was off.

I will say nothing of the gossip of the town, when it was known the next day. that our Kate, so nicely adapted to an eld maid's life, was to be the wife of the ministar.

Gen. Cass, in his Oration at Fort Wayne, on the 4th ult., has the following passage: “ Perhaps, while I address you, measures are in progress to wrest from us our teiritory west of the Rocky Mountains. Island after is land, country after country, are falling before the ambition of England. She is planting her standard wherever there is a people to be sub dued, or the fruits oftheir industry to be se cured. With professions of philanthropy she pursues the design of ambition and she is en. circling the globe with her stations wherever she can best accomplish her scheme of aggran dizement. It is my deliberate opinion, that no nation, since the fall of the Roman power, has displayed greater disregard for the rights of others, or more boldly aimed at universal do mination.—Our claim to the country west of ihc Rocky Mountains is as undeniable tis our right to Bunker Hill or New Orleans; and who will cull in question our title to these blood-stained, fields ? And T trust it will be maintained with a vigor and promptitude equal to its justice. War is a great evil, but not so great as national dishonor. Little is gain ed by yielding to unjust and insolent preten sions. It is better to defend the first inch of territory than the last. Far better, in dealing with England, to resist aggression, whether of territory, of impressment, or of search, when first attempted, ihan to yield in the hope that forbearance will be met in a just spirir, and will lead to an amicable compromise.—Let us have no red lines upon the map of Oregon. Lei us bold on to the integrity of onr just claim—and if war comes, be it so. I do not mydflf believe it will be long avoided, unless prevented bv intestine difficulties in the British empire. And wo bs to u?, if we flatter our selves it enn.be arrested by any sysfem of con cession ; of ult delusions, this would be the fa tal ; and we should awake from it a dishonor ed, if not a ruined people.” Druiacrnlic i’lutdiilalei for Prrfideal* JOIIY C.

In its issue of the 22d ult. referring to the elections fn North Carolina and Tenti’cssed, the Journal said, that “the result of these two elections shows clearly that the Whig party has the ascen dency, larsr.ly, in- each State,” and that this •'gratifying news lo die friends of Mr. Clay all over the Union would strike terror to- the hearts of his adversaries!”—-This we denied; but the Jour nal still adheres to its unauthorized assertions — Now, let us see, more fully, what are the facts? In Tennessee, this year, “the majority of Jones, (W.) over Polk, (D.) for Governor, is 4219. The Whig-majority in 1841, was 3,334, and in 1840, 11,572—making a Whig loss since 1840, of 7,353- So much for the result of the-gubernatorial elec tion. What has been the result of the Congress ional elections in the same Stare? We answer, six Democrats to five Whigs. “In the last Con gress Tennessee had thirteen members:—eight Whigs and five Dtemnetats. The Whigs iiave lost three, the Democrats gained one—tire nett gain to the Demociais, four." Does this justify the Georgia Journal in saying, that the result of the elections in Tefmessee “show clearly that the Whig party have the ascendency, largely, in that State!” ’Pshaw, the man’s demented. Well—what says old Rip Van Winkle, within whose limits none oilier than Congressional elec tions have taken place this year 1 In the last Con gress, like Tennessee, North Carolina had thir teen members—eight Whigs and five Democrats. In the next Congress, the Democrats will have five, and the Whigsfour. Tho Whigs have las: three— the Democrats gained one—the nett gain to the Democrats four.

It is all in vain, however, tlie Clayitcs will not correct their cirors. even after being convinced that they are wrong.

Ono of our correspondents has truly’ observed, iliat our neighbor, whenever l*b hard pushed, either flies to titc Cow-pen or tlie Temple of Cloaci- nea for the purpose of easing his mind. We nad fondly hoped that the lecture which was read him, would have induced tlie Messenger to abandon, this naughty practice, and that he would “reform it altogether”—he certainly should know, that it is a custom “more honored- in- the breach than' the observance”—but, alas, he is at it again; and wo now find him, in the foregoing quotation, scratch ing his head with the intent of cracking a joke up on us—but, if “ho has many more such jokes (a crack," we really hope, far the sake of his readers, whose taste is in his peculiar keeping, that ho will crack- them in private. It is true, that it is reported that the report of John Ross’ being killed is erroneous—but, it is equally true, that he holds his life by a very pre carious tenure, and that the torcli of civil discord is lit up among the Clterokees: it is also reported by official despatches, received by the Commis sioner of Indian Affairs at Washington city, that Bushybead and Hicks, (both Ross men.) have been murdered, and that David Vann. Treasurer of the Nation, was dangerously wounded. In noticing those lamentable events, we said, that the feud which divides the Ross and Hicks party, originated in Georgia, during the time the Clterokees resided-within our limits;—and, that it was fostered; if not promoted by Henry Clay’s un fortunate interference with our Indian Affairs, is well known to all acquainted with, the history of We, therefore, with strict and critical propriety, deduced theinference, that Henry Clay, being thus, accessory before the. fact, to the civil dissensions alluded to, became, to all intents and porpoocs, guilty, in a degree, of all the blood which AN ABORTION.

In fully ansvvering all your interrogatories, we set you a frank, unreser ved, and ingenuous example, and, we had a right, to expect from you, a reciprocating exercise ol oourtesy—but, you have disappointed us r You have only noticed two of our interrogato ries and that in a very lame and unsatisfactory manner. The questions thus noticed, are those having reference to the last Tax Bill, and Mr, Crawford’s free negro vote. You say, in allusion to the first, that you have not condemned the vole of Mr. Crawford—ifyou have not, you must then, by an irrcsistable conclusion, condemn tho vote of Mr. Stephens, who voted against, whilst tho fore mergentleman, voted.for tlu39atne Tax Bill, Both cannot be riatu—one, or the other, must be wrong. Upon which then, docs your condemnation rest; You will, certainly, not leave us to infer, that you blow hot and cold with the same breath, by saying, both are right—that Mr. Crawford is right, be cause ho voted for tlie Ta-\ Bill; and that Mr. Ste phens is right, because he voted against tfie Tqx Bill! Such logic will not satisfy the people,— Upon which horn of the dilemma will you then stick ? Do, toll. The rop’y to the free negro vote of Mr. Craw ford is not much more satisfactory.
