In the papers of last week the following toast is
published, having been given at the late cele-
bration of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Election. by the Hon. Timothy Fuller, late mem
Der of Congress, and now Speaker oil our House OF
Representatives
"Henry Clay, the favorite Statesman of the
West. His independence and eloquence have
made him the favorite statesman OF the Union
1t is manifest that the gentleman whe offered this
sentiment intended 1t as sincere compliment 10 Mr.
Clay: for those who know him know that he has
never been suspected of that species OF wit called
irony. Mr.. Fuller, Questionless, held his heart In
his hand while he gave the toast. II any one should
imagine tina, the gentleman had put on an entire
new yisage for the occasion, he deceiveth himself.
Let him be told that Mr.. Fuller like many other
great men, -begotten of the god Janus, and there
lore appropriately worshipped now a-days as dem-
| gods, may possibly have more than one face; and
surely, that is highly favored in this par
ticular, ought not to be obliged to appear always
with the same countenance. Our honorable speaker
| and quondam representative knows TOO well the
value of the light of his countenancet 10 hold 1t I'M

black upon Henry Clay In reference TO this last
named gentleman, he said,
Sc He who spends his nights at the gaming ia
bic or in the reueis of a brothei, in contempt OF
the laws of God and man, can never be a safe de-
| posiiory of those laws SC.
We hope no one will be so inquistive as 10 ask
GO whether this contempt of the laws OF God and
man. is the GO independence" which has made MIR.

and apple trees, Sc considerable portion OF the
fruit is nearly ripe. We have chosen a Superin-
tending Committee Of twelve-nlne of whom are
from among ourselves, and three were named by
Mr.. Owen. We are becoming reconciled to this
e,c ,oord, though every thing appeared strange at
first, and our numbers daily augmenting. One
of the Churches has been transformed into a
Hall, where repair every day for the purpose of
reading, hearing the news, singing, dancing SIC. sc.
from a quarter past IL till o'clock The allot-
ted time to work, to devote in any way 10 the
welfare of the Society, is ten hours in summer, and
| eight in winter Our labor is valued by the Com
mittee every week.

different people, recommending them to come here,
