VISIT TO THE sEvENTY-FoUR

VISIT TO THE SEVENTY-FOUR
On Saturday evening last the steamboat
Washington took her departure for the Uni
ted States ship Of the line North Carolina,
LAYING at anchor in the Potomac, off Ragged
Point. On board of the steamboat was the
President ofthe United States, the Secretary
Of The Nar'Y, Commodore Rogers, Commo-
dore Morris, and Commodore Patterson, Mr..
Kelley, CT the Senate; and of the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES, Mr.. Vance, of Ohio; Mr..
+. Johnson, of Kentucky; Mr.. Carey, OF
Georgia; Mr.. yvhipplc, of New Hampshire;
MIR. Ingham of Pennsylvania; and Mcssrs
Williams and Vance, Of North Carolina be-
sides number of other citizens, making up
the number of about forty.
From gentleman, who was of the party
we learn that the visit was in every respect
gratifying to those who composed the compa-
nv. The steamboat arrived at Ragged Point
between and s O'Clock i'll the morning O
Sunday. Commodore Rogers left the steam
boat Immediately on the arrival of the party
at the Point, and went on board the Nortl
Carolina. At about II o'clock three boat
were despatched from the ship to recciv
the President and other passengers on boar
the steamboat.
Upon the arrival of the President, Secre
tary Of the Navy, &c. on board the ship
three hearty cheers,were given by the crew
with appropriate music from the band, an
Immediately thereafter salute was fired
the effect of which was grand. After hav
ing been on board some time, interchangn
salurations &c. the President and other Wis
itors were conducted through the scvers
decks of the ship, and its various apartment
which exhibited style of neatness and eco
nonical arrangement, greatly surprising til
most favorable anticipations. 1t appeare
that there was place for every thing, an

in numbernine hundred and sixty, manifested
the most profound and respectful attention
More solemnity and decorum could not nave
been observed in any ofour churches on land
The intervening time between the sermon
and the hour of dinner, was spent by the VS.
itors in agreeable and interesting CONVERSE
ton. and in rc-examining such objects OF Gu
riosity as had struck them with peculiar force;
after looking again at the stupenduous work
manship and preparation of the ship, and
her means of offence or defence, the visitors
were led to notice very handsome and wen
selected library, of about eleven hundred
volumes, purchased by private individual
contributions from the officers and men be-
longing to the ship.
The Commodore had served up sumptu-
GUS dinner, of which the visitors partook
with the zest which the occasion was calcu-
lated to inspire.
At about 5 o'clock the Company left the
ship and set out OH their return-the salute,
&c. being repeated. Nothing, we are told,
appeared to the landsman more remarkable
in this scene, than the great activity and a.
droitness with which the seamen manned
they yards of the ship. q
The North Carolina is pronounced, by
the best judges, to be very superior ship OF
her class. She mounts 90 guns, and is pier
ced for 102. On the upper deck she meas
ures 22o feet; from the flying glib boom to
the ring. tail boom, the distance is $50 feet.
From the upper extremity of the mx.h mast
to the bottom of the keel is $50 feet. Taking
her altogether, she is a most magnificent
and truly grand object, and will. it is hoped,
add to the credit of her name and nation.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
MR.. CLAY'S APPEAL.

,n cr AVG .pupA1
MN N.n ~
The Speaker (Mr. Clay,) rose from ms !
place, and requested the indulgence OF the
House for few moments, whilst ne asked
its attention to SUBJECT, IN WHICH ne iele
himself deeply concerned. note appear
edthis morning IN the National lntelligencer,
under the name and with the authority, as
he presumed, OF member OF this house from
Pennsylvania, Mr.. kremer) which adopted,
as his own, previous letter published III an
other print, containing serious and Injurious
imputations against nm, and which the au-
thor avowed lis readiness to substantiate by
proot,-lhese charges Implicated his con-
duct, in regard to the pending Presidential
election; and the responsibility OF the station
which the member holds. who thus openly
prefers them, and that of the people whom
he represents, entitled them to grave atten- |
ton. 1t might be, indeed, worthy of consi- |
Iteration, whether the character and dignity of
Of the House itself did not require full in
vestigation OF them, and an impartial deci-
sion ON their truth. For if they were true,
if he were capable and base enough, to betray
the solemn trust, which the constitution had
conhded to him; if, yielding to personal views
and considerations, he could compromit the
| highest interests of his country, the House
would be scandalized by his continuing to
occupy the chair with which he had been so
long honoured in presiding at its dclibera-
tons, and he merited instantaneous expul-
sion. Without, however, presuming to in
dictate what the House might conceive it
ought to do, on account of its own purity
and honor, he hoped that he should be allow
ed respectfully to solicit in behalf of himself
an inquiry into the truth of the charges to
which he referred. Standing in the rela-
lions to the house, which both the member
from PENNSYLVANIA and himself did, it APP
l,eared to him that here was the proper
place to institute the inquiry, in order, that,
if guilty, here the proper punishment might
be applied, and, if innocent, that here his
character and conduct may be indicated
He anxiously hoped, therefore, that the
House would be pleased to direct an investi-
CATION to be made into the truth of the
charges. Emanating from the source which
they did, this was the oniy notice which
he could take of them. Ii the House should
think proper to raise committee, he trusted
that some other than the ordinary mode pur-
sued by the practice and rules of the House
would be adopted to appoint the Commit
tee.
The Speaker having concluded his obser-
vations and called Mr.. Taylor to the chair,

Belong 10 a purer-a nobler race;
But why, it they do-and it may be So

They tell me that white is a heavenly hue,
And 1t may be so-but the sky is btue;
And the first otmen, as our old men say,
Had ear1h-bro1sn skins, and were made ofclay.
Throughout my life, I've heard it said,
There's nothing surpasses a tint of redy
