which MIR. Clay "suNK'!! were henua", Ae"
4. &c. sc. and the oniabie Mrs. Royal. The
Kitchen Cabinet backed BY the authoress OF the
Black Book! They smiled and chuckled, aud
encouraged the Senator from Mssouri-or, as
we heard it expressed, .paftea him onto bark
louder agains, the fiIe fellow he held at bay. ~
That the Senator from Missouri was gored, is,
therefore, his own fault. We were glad to see
the chivarous and gallant Towson give Mr..
CLAW. in the face of all his enemies, warm and
hearty shake OF the hand, after the contest. IL
was different sort of greeting from That receiV-
ed nv the Senator from Missouri from the wor-
Tines who were his hackers and bottle holders on
the occasion referred 10. We do believe that an
orvsnzed effort was made by the Club to s''i6!
MIR. Clay. Miserable failure! Whose heart
does mt warm within him to see such man so
beset by such crew? Who can refrain from tax
inc sides with the noble, the generous, the high
minded, ON such occasions?
The Richmond Enquirer is in extacies at the
Vrro, and repeats its hacknied compliments to
the ..Roman frmness and honesty OF the old
Patriot, What did the Enquirer think, but the
o,her day, of the "Roman firmness and homes
Is Of the old Patriot" when he signed the Inter-
mi Innroyement Bill? When we see such gross
departures from all consistency and principle,
we are almost ready to exclaim-
o! Reason! thou art fed to british beasts"
Bishop England. -This esteemed and highly
ACCOMPLISHED Divine has taken leave OF his Do
cess, preparatory to his departure for Europe,
where business of serious Importance requires his
nresence for short time. The Bishop of Mobile
and the Bishop Of Charleston having some time
since exchanged powers, the former Prelate Will
take charge of the Diocess during the absence OF
Bishop England.
We learn from Trenton, that the case OF Hen
Erickson VS.. Shotwel, involving the merits OF the
controversy between the Orthodox aud Hicksite
parties in tire Society Of Friends. has been decid-
ed in favor of the former. The Chancellor, Gov.
vroom. having been counsel tor one OF the par
ties. before his election, the cause was heard by
Chief Justice Ewing and Justice Drake OF the
Supreme Court: both Of whom gave elaborate
opinions on the question
Mr. Madison's Toast.-Ex- President Madi-
sou was invited to unite in the celebration OF cur
late National Anniversary by his felow-citlzens
at Orange Court House. He was unable to at
tend in consequence Of the - very feeble state
to which he had been reduced by tedious lndls-
position'' He availed himself, however, OF the
oppoI unity to offer sentiment, which, to use
his own language, "accords with the sensiblity
expressed by the committee to the painful aspect
given to our national confederacy, By conflicting
opinions on important questions among ITS mem
bers'' The toast was as follows: i" MAY the
political discords in our country, so grateful to
the enemies, be speedily brought to a conclusion
that will inspire fresh confidence in the friends oil
our free institutions" To which every patriot
heart responds .Rnaen!
We learn from the New Orleans Emporium
that numerous assembiage OF the citizens OF
that place was held on the 2Sth ultimo, in order
10 express, in decided terms, their Indignation at
the conduct of the friends and Originaors OF null
LITIGATION. The meeting was marked throughout
bya spirit of yiolence-much discomfort and bad
feeling. One or two of the most influential citi-
xeus addressed the meeting in language which,
while il did honor to the feelings and the cause in
which they were enlisted, tended to defeat, in
great measure, the immediate object in view.
The following is one Of the resolutions adopted
at the meeting:
Resolvsd, That we consider the doctrine Of
notification. as it is termed, implying the exis-
tence Of right in the legislature OF any one state
10 declare an act Of congress unconstitutional and
imperative within its limits, as most unsnund in
principle, wholly Incompatible with the letter and
spirit If our consultation. and inevitably leading
to disuuion, anarchy aud the ruin OF our country;
and we do therefore give it our most unqualified
disapprobaticn.
