The Indian Of the west has realized their num-
hcence, the Sandwich Islander has confessed then
benelactions, the Hindoo has participated in
their resources and the PROSTATE Grecian has be-
held their purse strings unbound to contribute to
the contamination Of his emancipation.
Ifthen we are benevolent, shall countryman,a
townsman and neishbor, who, in the decline Of
life, has by sad calamity, by the villany of a ma
rauder, been deprived Of ALL appeal in vain for a
little aid to assist him to rock the era lie of old age
and to enable him to while away the few remain
ing years assigned him on this side of the gravel!
We appeal not to the wealthy and the benevolent,
to bestow their charities on an unworthy obj ject,--
We ask them to extend their hands to a worthy and
virtuous man, whose life has been life Of toll.
of hardship, and misfortune, and who, by one
"fell .woop," has been robbed of what he had sc-
cumulated by days and nights Of toll and danger
and is now left moneyless upon the world.
The public cannot mistake us--we allude to Mr..
WILLIAM WEST, gentleman who is native of
Rhode Island and who for the last thirty years has
resided in Providence, and during that period has
oeeh TesPeCtcu, ioi his uudHecteu piety
for the even tenor of his life and for bis indus
trious and enterprsing habits. Long has this wor-
thy gentleman tonsd among US, and long has he
been useful and valuable citizen. His enter.
prizng habits, in earlier life, led him, in an inau-
spicious moment, to embark in foreign commerce,
and it was whilst in the pursuit Of this laudable vo-
cation, the winds came, and the ocean raved, and
sunk beneath the Vastly deep. treasures which he
had obtained by incessant and untiring labor.
Since then, MIR. West has been struggling against
the tides Of misfortune, and had Just secured to
himself humble mpetence-enough of this
worlds goods, as he supposed, TO smooth his pas
sage to unknown worlds-when, in an unprepared
and unexpected moment, the whole of his earthly
stores were torn from him, and consigned to the
flames. Monday night, as he reclined upon his pill
low, he could say, have enough for myself ana
worth five thousand dollars--:he next mornings
sun found him beggar, bankrupt in fortune and
in hopes
And shall this thrice unfortunate gentleman. be
left to suffer amid his calamities, in community
like ours! Nay-we hope not:-we cannot believe
that he will, and we persuade ourselves that the
able, the benevolent and humane, will come for
ward and cheerfully aid gentleman, who, " in his
old age" is left pennyless the world and naked
to his enemies"

The last arrest Of an actress! I" This means
something lit means this-a woman, whether by
choice or by reason Of domestic calamties is indu-

necessarily an abandoned sinner-a courtezan--a
wretch, beyond the reach Of the arm Of mercy, and
shut out from the presence off good and all-wise
Creator. She is lost to the world-she is in the
peculiar keeping of Lucifer and his angels; and it
would be much more easy for her to pass through

ExPLANAToRY.-Aso our readers will observe, ia
the columns Of to-day's CADET, "a Card" from
Mr.. JOHN HOLMES, Of the United Suites Senate,
from the State Of Maine deem it proper to state
what elected it. In pursuing series Of what we
have termed, Portraits Of the Opposition, in the
tenth number Of our paper, we laid before tho
American public sketch of the life and character
Of the Hon. JOHN HOLMES, of Maine. In doing
this, we found it necessary to descend to partcu,
lars connected with his public le and as he parti
cipated largely in the Missouri affair." and advo-
Gated the conduct of Gen. JACKSON, in the murder
Of Arbuthnot and Ambrister, we did not hesitate
to state the facts, and at the same time, we
charged him with being the unblushing advocate of
Domestic Slavery: To this Mr. HOLMES replied,
at great length, in the Eastern Argus, and after
having complimented US, for encomiums passed up.
on his talents and private character, denied the
charge Of having advocated Domestic Slavery, and
undertook to say, that the conduct of Gen. JACK.
SON, at ST. Marks, met not only the appreciation of
himself and coadjutors, but was appauded by the
British Government; and for the truth of which, he
referred US to an article in Bells London) Week.
ly Messenger.
TO this we responded, that what we had said was
true, and that if Mr.. Holmes or his friends were
disposed to investigate the affair, we threw the
glove, and were at his, or their service. Thi. has
called forth the CARD; and We assure the public
that we shall not shrink from the contest in which
Mr. Holmes, on certain conditions, pledges himself
to engage-thoush we are aware that in him, we
shall find host of talent and requirement. Our

BENEvoLENtK-In Christian country, the
exercise Of the feelings Of benevolence and phian-
thropy, are convincing evidences Of the march,
IS Of fertilization, and of all those kindlier feelings
which distinguish an enlightened and independent
people, and approach them towards the image Of
their Creator.
The citizens Of the United States have often
given strong and solid testimonials fthat spirit of
besevolence which pervade their towns, by for.
warding to remote nations their aid and assistance;
and as members Of the commonality of America the
inhabitants Of Providence have stood first, among
those who are disposed to lessen the sum Of human
suffering, which is often laid heavy on frail NOR.

MR. CLAY. 1t is merely to show the absurdity of
the tales which have been put in circulation, by the
opposition, to impress the minds of the American
people, that Mr.. Clay is unpopular at home, and
particularly despised by his late immediate constit-
uents, that we copy the following toass, drunk at
the dinner recently given him at Sanders Garden,
Lexington, and at various other places, the An-
niversary Of American Independence. We have
selected but few Of the numerous assurances of the
attachment Of the Kentuckians to the first Of
American statesmen. Were we to copy all, we
should fill our paper,-those which follow, will be
sufficient to convince the reader of the entire pop.
larity Of the Secretary Of the State, among those
who know hin best.
The following were among the toasts drank at
the dinner recently given to Mr.. CLAY in Lexing,
