Judge Clays Speeeh.-We ask the attention of ou readers to the speech of the Hon. CLEMENT C. CHA, which will be found on the first page ofthis paper, public dinner given on the 9th nlt at Hickman, Spring, m Lawrence county, to him and the Hon JOHN MCKINLEY. That part oft to which we wish to direct the readers particular attention is his yin dcation of his vote upon the rejection of the bill to repeal the 25th Section of the Judiciary Act. We doubt not that every reasonable man will be fully sa tsfied with this explanation. Inquiry cannot njure the cause of truth-but may promote it. and although we are decidedly opposed to repeal of that section do not think that the law itself too sacred to be examined or its provisions too perfect to be nvesti- gated. Judge Clays exertions in behalf of the land debtors, an explanation of which forms the residue of the address, are too well known and appreciated by the people to need comment from us.-Soathcri Advocate.

A SUDSCRlB How bitter is the slanderer's tongue, When envious hearts leave Truth behind! What poisnous breath to them belong, Whose malice wounds the generous mind! How odious that deceptive smile, Which scarcely can it's purpose hide 'f' Of envy deep, and native guile! In tongues like these, who can confidef r If on heart a curse should rest, Of blighted hopes, and prospects drear- And scorpions stings corrode the breast Of any living being here; Surely such desolating breath Should visit them-for such there be, Most hideous sight the sun beneath, Cursed image of Hypocrisy.

The importance of Erie as place of dcposite, is perhaps, much greater than is generally supposed The following aggregate amount of the number of bales of cotton shipped by T. II. Herndon and J c. Phares, is given to show to those at a distance that our little town is one of considerable business MT Herndon shipped during the last season 3661 bales, and MT Phares, about l500 To these ma, be added with safety 1000 bales which were aker in flat boats, making in all, 6,1G1. This is the prn cipal place of deposite in the county but by ever averaging the amount of cotton shipped from the va rious landings within the limits of the county, we think that we would be safe in saying that the whole crop of Greene county, for the last season. would amount to near LOGO bales.-Ene Gdzctte.

Extract Of letter, dated
"HARRIsBuRe, April g.
There has been great loss of property along
the shore by the storm of last night and to-day"
We have looked over the names of more than
800 subscribers to the notice which has been
published in Philadelphia oy the friends of Mr..
CLAY. 1t is useless to deny the fact that we
find among them the flower of the Clay party in
that City-men Of reputation and of standing
among their fellow citizens. 1t is idle to shut
our eyes also to the fact-that the friends of Mr..
CLAY, not only do notmean to abandon his banners
but that they mean to push on, with all their force
and with all their zeal-some times sapping, some
times storming-in some quarters by address, to
lull their antagonists to sleep-and in others by
the most energetic measures to overawe oppUsi-
ton. But, that MIR. CLAY is the only man to be
run-that he will be run roW; and that he will
be run after the next electiOn-is proposition
no longer to be disputed or concealed.
CRichmond Enquirer,
The Enquirer has been dreaming with its eyes
open. Mr.. CLAY abandoned! What ever put
that into the head of the worthy editor? Who
SO traitorous to his country as to propose to HIM
self such thing, even in thought? Who is there
that would disgracefully abandon cause to
which he was attracted BY conviction that the
interest and character of the country demanded
a change of administration, and that HENRY
CLAY was the individual best calculated, unuer
all circumstances. to bring back the government
to that lofty and liberal course from which it had
strayed far away? Abandon his banners! Give
up the ship. What delusion has possessed the
Enquirer to suppose that any one pretending to
act from principle, would thus desert his colors,
and like the Numdian horse, go over in the
midst Of conflict to the other side.
But the Enquirer reused from its dream OF
false security. now sees Alright The friends of
Mr.. CLAY, the friends. in other words OF the
Constitution and Institutions of the country, do
mean Ito push on" with all their force and
with all their zeal. but with as little of the storm
as practicable, although not without accompany
ing gales. The Enquirer may prepare itself tor
the contest, and. if assurances from every quar-
ter are to be relied upon, for defeat. which, it is
hoped that veteran journal has by this time learn
ed enough of philosophy to bear with composure
We only wish the incumbent would withdraw
from the canvass. and leave clear field tor
the Younger candidates. That's all
