THE PIoUs NoBLEMAN. The celebrat-
ed Earl of Chatham had a nephew to whom
he was much attached. When this young
man was pursuing his studies at Cambridge,
his uncle wrote him several letters of adj
vice, which were afterwards published by
Lord Granville. On the important subject
of Religion, the Earl thus addresses his rel

every good and honorable purpose of your
life will assuredly turn; l mean the keep
ing up in your heart the true sentiments of
religion. If you are not right towards God,
you can never be so towards man; the no.
btest sentiment of The human breast is here
brought to the test. Is gratitude in the
number of a mans virtues? If it be, the
highest Benefactor demands the warmest
return OF gratitude, love, and praise. If u
man wants this virtue, while there are inf

HENRY CLAY.

A gentleman who was in Congress in 1921
~, described to US an incident that occurred in
the House, illustrative of the character of Mr.
Clay. Our informant, though a gentleman of
frankness and candor, was personally and polit-
Ically hostile to Mr.. Clay. He remarked, in
relating the anecdote, that his dislike of Mr.. c.
would exempt him from suspicion of exagger.
atIng his talents, or the force of his sarcastic
powers. One day, while the House was in Com.
mttee of the whole, member from North Car
oilna made an unprovoked attack on the West !;
not on Kentucky in particular, but on the whole
western country. The moment he sat down,
malt dozen western members sprang upon the
hnor to repel the ungener0us assault. Among
the members was Mr.. Clay. All the others,
aware of Mr.. Clay's superiority, sat down at
once. The House, when it was seen that Mr.
Clay was about to speak, was as still as the
chambers of DEATH and every eye was fastened
on him. He began to cast his eagle chances
around, his chest dilated, and his whole form
assumed most lofty and commanding appear.
ance. The gentleman from North Carolina,
saw the storm approaching, and hoping, by ex-
planatlon and apology. to avert its violence,
arose and in humble and subdued manner, en-.
deaVored to soften the Indignation that was
glowing IN the countenaHce of Mr. CLAY. Mr.
e. sat down without speaking, when the assa.
ant rose. When he had finished, Mr.. Clay
again LOOK the Hoor, and enjoyed for several
moments the intense anxiety of the members
The gentleman from North Carolina, douL: u
of the frs: conciliatory effort, rose again, and
strove to appease the master spirit he had rails
ed. Mr. Clay yielded the floor without hesta.
ton, and after the gentleman had concluded he
opened his batteries upon him.
had atte nded, said our informant, sithe
debates in the English House of Commons;
had there heard many specimens of declamato-
ry lnvective; had seen Canning in his glory,
and had heard the cutting, overwhelming retort
of Brongham; but nothing that ] had ever heard
or read, was to be compared to Mr. Ciay's
49, ungenteman
ly, the reply was annihllatng, and the effect
tremendous upon the House." So chagrined
was the assaant, that he left the Hail. and did
not enter it again for two or three days. The
friends of the parties desired the reporters to
withhold their notes of the whole affair, and no
account of it, we believe, has ever been placed
before the public.

Rai;o ofRepr.s.nsal;on: The Commit.
tee Of Congress, from which the Bill Cor
taking the 6fth Census. was reported, es-
timate the population of 1880, as follows;
free population 1860, O,OOO;--slaves ,S5o,
600; total l2,500,0O: and recommend the
ratio of50,0O0 for the representation, in the
House of Representatives, which Gill not
increase the number Of that body TO more
than 225 members.
We think it extremely probable, from
ali we have heard, that the ratio Of $4,000
will be adopted. Thls.wil give New York,
Ohio, and some Of the New States an adj
dtional number of representatives. Vir-
ginia will lose, at leaskone member and
New Jersey will lose, one. Name may,
possibly gain one member. Massac husItis,
will hardly be able TO hold her own. TO
retain her thirteen representatives she
must have gained, since 1870, l26.1l3 in
habiiants.--It is not 10 be credited that she
has gained so many; for il is more than dou-
BILE the number which she has gained, in
any period Of ten years, since 100. IL
we have increased, al the rate of ten pr
cent. which is, probably. not fax from the
fact, we shall number 51J,0i5, and shall
be entitled to bat | | members instead Of lse
present number Of thirteen;--and thero
will be fraction of 46, $40. Vermont will
be safe, having large fraction over, at
the last appointment. Connecticut may
possibly. for the same reason. be able tn
retain herpresent number. Rhode Island,
as we ore Informed by those who have had
opportunities to jndge ofthe fact, will fall
a little short of 100000 Inhabitants, and
consequently will lose one representative.
Thus, we see. our relative strength in the
national government. is sensibly diminish
ing. This diminutlon must be counter
balanced by un increase Of our moral
strength.
In HE choice Of representatives to the
Odd Congress, New England viii, we hope.
do herself entire Justice; and, though She
will then count less, she will tcei ga more.

In every Government, however pure the
principles cpon which it has been cs'ab-
lIshed, there is a constant tendency to cor
ruptlon and decay. Private interest is in
cessantly at war with the public veal
Whercvor the former trumphs, victory is
gained detrimental to the common welfare
An honest government will therefore di-
rect It's energies TO render all private inter

contribute to individual aggrandizemcnt,
its constant aim will be to increase that
national prosperity, which is the best guar
