which seems to be authorized pullca-

"Was there never a time, when
"Mr. G. was willing to surrender his
"own pretensions in the West; pro
"uided IL aU0uld haze promoted the
"cause ofMr. Cra,vfords2"-LE nqal.
We answer to this question-for we
believe we know enough of Mr.. Cfay's
sentiments to be able to answer it cor
rectly-that there ece aUaS q time
when Mr.. G. was willing TO surren-
der his pretensions to promote the
cause of Mr.. Crawford: and we say
further, that there neuer ,cus q time
achen he preferedM CrawfordtoMr
Adams. Not satisfied with Mr.. Clay's
delicate mode of disposing of the pre-
tensions of Mr.. Ora wford, they would
have him state all his objections, all
the considerations ola public nature"
which induced him to prefer another.
They ask, as if they thought the ques-
tons could not he answered, "What
were those objections2 What were
these other considerations" We
might say, that the gentlemen, with
true Socratic sagicty, had themselves
named "these objections"--"there o,
tber considerations" and we are in
, clincd to think that, to every Western
man at least, they will appear to he
not only "almost' but altog ether" SIN
superdble."
The fact that Mr.. Clay neuer dad,
at any period of the el%ectioneering can
vass, prefer Mr.. Crawford, or give
the slightest indication that he meant
to support his p%retensions, must at onc
remove all the objections which the
gentlemen have raised to the conduct
Of Mr.. Clay, Gas to Mr.. Crawford"

In Antrim, one Of the northern counties Of Ire

its extent, and the beauty of its quiet scenery di
vershed only by few villas, and the high, massive
walls and turrets of DISTANCES Castle which, having
felt the ravages of time and fire, is now deserted,
and presents only ma iestc pile of ruins. On the
margin of the lake stood two cottages the neat
and clearly appearance of which strongly

that country. Often DIX. the sportsman, returning

Robert and Edward were inseparable. They had

Ireland, which had sunk into the greatest misery
and poverty, tithes and rack-rent having nearly
med the people, rendered more wretched
by internal dssentions, and the distracted state of
Europe. The times pressed SO heavily upon Don

wealth, and lived in peace and happiness Their
departure was severe blow to O'Neale and his

tons and recollectons of so many years, that the
old man, whose strength had been long waning,
in few months sunk calmly into the arms of death.
Edward was alone. Society had no more
charms for him. He spent whole days in the deep
est recesses of the forest, and seemed to enjoy the
dark, melancholy shade cast by the closely inter-
twning branches of the old, venerable trees. Often,
when the morn was cloudess, he would push
boat to the lone little island in the midst of the lake.
and there pass great part of the night. He loved
too, to wander to the NORTH and climb to the summit
of that great basatc way the pillars of which,
according to the legend of the country, were piled
up in the days of yore, by the hand of giant
Here he would look out upon the bosterous ocean,
and for hours his eyes would be turned towards the
point in the western horizon, where the sun had
set. When the chill dews of evening reused him
from his revere, he would feel astonished that he
had remained so long after every thing had been

One day, as he was scramblng along this rugged
shore, he saw ship with the American ensign
wing at the masthead, lying at some distance, to-

were out to the sun. The sailors were at work in

tic happiness, removed far from oppression and des-
potism, will try to forget the wrongs of my
try" At this moment boat put off from the ship,
for fresh water and provisions to the small town Of
Bally castle. He hurried to the place of landing,
and he had neither friends property to leave,
he solicited, and permitted to embark
binary seaman, without pay. But the ship had not
proceeded far on her voyage when she was met by
British manof-war, and searched by that arbitrary
stretch of power and violation of the laws of nations,
which led to the of 1912. Edward was imme-
diately detected, and impressed into his Majesty's
service. For many years he was exposed to the Sc
verest hardships and fatgues and to the deleerous
effects of noxious climates At last however, at
the close of the general of Europe, he was dis
missed, and the small pay received was barely
enough to gain him steerage passage in one of the
Liverpool packets, for Philadelphia. He now tho't
that his trials were nearly at close, but, alas /!
he seemed to have been marked out the child of
misfortune On the passage, his health, which had
long been affected, began to decline rapidly. His
eyes lost their wonted ustre--his cheeks became

and the glow upon his cheek sckly, hectic

excitement had vanished, and left him weaker than

nues. An immense amount of cotton,
coffee, and some other articles, changed
hands yesterday, al small advance from
the prices OF Wednesday, and the spirit
of speculation still walks on Change
and about the mercantile houses,
wharves, and piers, seeking out the
means OF making money. In the gene
raj hustle, some will pocket many thou
sands, some will lose large sums that
nigh, have been made, and very proba.
bly,, some may so oyerstraln the point as
to suffer heavy losses when the tide be-
gins 10 turn. Several additional vessels
have been despatched Tor the south, and
for the West-Indies. The Mercantile
Advertiser supposes that the expresses
to the South will be frustrated in their
object by the previous receipt OF intelll-
gence from Europe at Charleston, for
! which place the fast sailing BRUSH ship
Lalla Roekh was despatched from Lii
yerps in. ballast, on the 28th oil Fe-
bruary. The National (Snowden's) Ad-
vocate states, that American manufac-
,ured sheetings have advanced from to
cents per yard, and we understand that
J ginghams, checks, stripes, and other
home manufactures of cotton, have also
advanced.
! The Philadelphia Gazette states, that
seven expresses arrived in that city yes
terday morning from Newly York, in an
ticipaton Of the mail, and the intelli-
gence they brought gave great activity
to the market. Sales, al advanced prices,
were very extensive. 7qOenty- aeuen
cents were offered for good Upland Cot
ton, and refused. Several Of the express
SEES proceeded farther south.
The city of New York, is suppos-
sed, will be benefited between THREE
and FOUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS by the
advance on the single article of cotton.
This estimate is made on the general
impression that between $4,000 and
100000 bales are held by New-York
merchants, the average advance on
which is between SIS and $40 per bale.
Suppose that SOC, 900 bales Of cotton

chants at home and abroad, and by the
planters at the south---that it has ad

will be that the country is benefited

that this advance is in foreign country,
