;. MIR. CLAY's ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC.

MIR. CLAY'S ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC"
 Through the kindness ofthe Hon. Mir. Merwn,we have received pamphlet, with the above title, taining about sixty pages. We are also indebted to the polite attention of Mir. Merwn, for copies of the documents which annually accompany the Presidents Message. and the reports of the dle departments of the government. Mir. Cay's Address is highly in- tcresng, and the docI ments which accompany must be perfectly satisfactory to every mind,-whlch is not warped and blinded by the banefnl influence of par ty,-hat the stale cry of corruption which has been raised against this valuable public officer, is the off spring of party rage, having not the shadow of truth on which to rest Unquestonaby men degrad- cd enough ,csh this charge be true, the dis grace ofiheir country will continue to harp upon it ns though it were in reality true. We expect nothing more honorable and candid than this from the Times. As a correspondent however has noticed this subject this week, we shall defer any further remark until our next.
 |" The Salem Gazette has always been the mouth piece of that old veteran Timothy Pickering, and is consequently q advocate for the reelection of Mr. Adams''- Had Mir. Wells added immediately af ter the above remark, ,--whch appears editorial in his paper of the 7t- the sun this morning clear and bright, and |" consequently the face of the earth obscured in midnight darkncss,' he would not have made more ridiculous and contemptibIe assertion than is the above extract. ''The Salem Ga zcttc is the mouth piece of Timothy Pickering, and consequently the advocate for Mir. Adams re-eiec- ton," when Mir. Adams has not more bitter and ir- rcconcilabc enemy than Mir. Pickering This Mir. Wells knows full well, as also does every other man, possessing the least acquaintance with the general pol ics of the day. But it is AIr. Wells object to keep alive party spirit in this state, otherwise such hay wood, and stubble," as himself, would be longer needed in the political concerns of old Connecticut, and to do this, and yet reconcile his high republican pretensons with his servile atteres of such high jun to federalis;s as Dr. Coleman of New-Y Mir. Sen ator Benton of Missouri and hundred more like kin dred spirits, he preIends that Mir. Adams is sup. ported entirely by federalists and opposed by none but republicans and men who have recaned from their former political faith. But Nir. Pickering, the great leader and champion of federalism in New England, Is supposed to be too firmly grounded to change his principles under any circumstances whatever: and hence Mr. Wells with his usual tact at coiouring for ces him into the ranks of Mir. Adams ;-than whom, there is not an important individual in our country, that Mr. Pickering utterly detess. This cal be proved; but to intelligent men it needs proof; while to Mr. Wells proof would be like words wasted upon air.
 We never did, and probably never shall, take Mr

 IS an object Of pity not because he lost little prop erty, but because he is such abec slave to old par ty distinctions. Because certain New-Hayen federal Ists fl or l6 years ago obstnaey set in their party prejudlces,and that too at time when meas and not formed the lines of party---that they this forms sufficient reason why republicans should not rejoice at the success of the Greeks Because fedeiaiss, blinded by party feelings, should act enormously, republicans now bound to act in the same manner. This is party tgeiing gentle req der ;-it flows from inherent principle of our pa- ture; but purely and solely from that doctrine which consgns to everlasting nfamy every act of a5poIiticaI opponent, however praisewOrhy may be- and extoIs to the skies every measure of pt4y friend however mIjudged and erroneous it may be.

LlTCHFlELD COUNTY FOREIGN MISSION
 SOCIETY.

As the anniversary of this important and interesting Society approaches it becomes the duty of the col ectors be awake to the importance of the cause in which they engaged. There are thousands of in- dividuals in this county who firmly believe that the cause of missions is the cause of God, and who are willing to bestow portion of their substance in help ing forward the glorious work of sending the gospel to the heathen. Let these individuals remember that they are not called upon directly to assist in this work but once year, and that the donation they then make IS probably all they will make until another anniver- sary of the society. It IS then the duty ofevery friend of the cause to calculate seriously, and according to Gospel prcceptS how much he is able to give annually for this oIect; and let his subscription accordingly emLrace this yearly sum. We can hardly conceive how any man, possessing a competency ofthis worlds goods andproessing ardent desire for the exten- sion of the Redeemers kingdom, satisfy his con- science or believe that his prayers for this sincere, if he g ive more than dollar year to help the work forward. Subscriptions and donations this character given too much upon the spur of the moment and under the conviction that com poses annual sum for the support ofa great and m portant object. What forehanded farmer, or man of
 
 monthly subscription of four or eight cents for the cause of missions! Who of them would believe that this would be offering oceptable to Heaven? And yet the greater part of the subscriptions to our Mis- sionary Society are DO more than these sums would make in twelve months. Who is there among US who could not save four times this amount without en- croaching in the least upon the necessares or the convenences oflife Would it be large sum for of the friends of Missions in this county pay FIVE dollars a year for object interesting and important as the conversion of the world to Christ This sum would be but 42 cents per month---a sum which alInost every among us would, upon re- iection, acknowledge small, considering the magn- tude of the object for which is devoted. No man, ofeasy ? opey, would the poorer for besowing this annaa'y .of a winch he professes to love. We make these remarks ,nG~cc subscribers to re- fleet that the which they may give at the aproach- ing anniversary of County Society, is probably all they will give for the year to come, and that the a. mount should be graduated accordingly; and not &C., cording the feelings perhaps selfish ieeIings-.- of the moment when subscription is requested.
