commended that the particular measure ought to bc

were made to ascertain the practicabily Of passing

TO II was necessary Mr. Foot took very littlc part
IN The debate. During the discussion, it ranged out
into general view of the Public Domain, and Mr..
Clay strongly and zealousy maintained the right of
the choe OF the States and the whole of tho People
OIL inc Union to that National property.
lhe official paper, in speaking of Mr.. Clay's
speech on Wednesday, represents it also to have
been extremely violent, "whoy calculated to please
the Northern and Eastern States, and treating all
" the new States with little ceremony, except Ohio,
" TO which he was lavish in compliments" Mr..
Clay's speech was animated s. earnest, as his n.
ner usually is, and has been extolled by those who
heard it az one of the most successful displays of
has great powers. We are inclined to think, as in.
deed we hope, that it was calculated to please not
merely the Northern, but also tho Southern the
Middle and all the States of the Union--for ho
contondcd for the rights of oil. He treated no
State with disrespect. He treated with great and
meried severity the pretensor set up in behalf
OF some of the States, by which the whole of
the Public Lands situated in their limits are claimed
tor them, 10 the exclusion of the other Members of
the Coniederacy. And he did not spare the dema
gogues who brought forward or supported that pre-
tension. But we hope ere long TO lay the Speech
itself before our readers, who can best Judge for
themselves.

Saturday Eve,,s,,S. fame 93

The following remarks of the National Gazette,
upon the proposed Southern Convention of tho
Union party OF South Carolina strike us as being
just, and too pertinent to be overlooked by any
friend OF the Union in the Southern States. We
cannot disguise the fact and no man should deceive
hmselt-that ifthc South insists upon an aban-
comment oil the principle ofprotection of Manufac-
lures, and by Convention, demands il as sine qua
non, the Union will be dissolved. II this meas sure
DO persisted IN, the two parties Of South Carolina
VIII attain the same end, the only difference be-
tween them being in the. mode. The violence of
the South has already produced corresponding
violence in some quarters the East If this spi.
rit spread there it undoubtedly will unless the
Southern tone BIO moderated, and extend itself 10
tho west, Convention will be met by Convention,
and the end of these things is certain. The Tariff
States have hitherto been moderate, because they
had no fears of an abandonment of the principle of
protection, and but little, that the Tariff would be
so modified as to endangcr the capital already vest
| ed in Manufactures. Mr.. McIanc's proposed bill
instantly aroused them from their security and we
have had foretaste in the Resolutions of the Penn
sylvania Legislature and the Tariff meeting in New
York, that ought to satisfy every tho intense
interest with which this subject is viewed and the
jealousy which the now sleeping, requires but the
| slightest movement to rouse into fury.
For ourselves, we deprecate every movement
which may be calculated, in tho slightest degree
bring the parties into collision. The Union cannot
be preserved unless the moderate men of both will
consent to surrender something of their dem a nds
| and meet OH ground of compromise. 1t is by no
means, improbable that the bill reported by Mr.
Adams, has already passed the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, and with that bill, be it what it finally
may, as the best compromise that will be made, all
parties must be content, dissolve the Union.
The Union party in South Carolina urge a
J southern Convention the effect of which is TO be
ITO render the opposition of the Southern States to
the protecting system irresistible" Now, suppose
Convention of the manufacturing States, and
Western Consention:-what will be the operation
OF the wfoie7 To nullify the federal constitution
and government-to deprive Congress of all ORR
gInal and regular power-to transfer virtually the
administration OF affairs to new assemblies. Ac-
cording to the Constitution. Congress shall rake
no law to abrdgc 'thc right of the people peaceably
to assemble, and to petition the government for re-
dress of grievances" But this is not the main object
OF the proposed Southern Convention. 1t is to
determine the action of the Government by a
peremptory and fatal alternative. This is not war
ranted by the Constitution; and it is Congress:
alone that can call Convention for proposine
amendments to the federal system"

MASTER JOHN RANDOLPH CLAY.

MASTER JOHN RANDOLPH CLAY.
The New York Journal s. Advocate of Tues
day says:
awe have authority upon which we rely for sta
ting that John Randolph Clay, the near relative
OF the late envoy extraordinary TO the Court of
ST. Petersburgh PRESIDENT at London and elsephere)
and late Secretary of Legation is now at the Rus
sian capital thereabout, in the character of
Charge d'AHairs, receiving from the Government
OF the Unitad States salary equivalent to that
attached to the post of Minister Plenipotentiary-
VIZ NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS YEAR, This accounts
for the refusal of MIR. Secretary MLane to Law the
facts before Congrcss."
Master Clay is no relative of Mr. Randolph, but
the son of an early friend and admirer
We have often advcrted to the circumstance OF
this youth, scarcely of age, and according to ali
accounts a complete Johnny Raw, being entrusted
with the controul for the space of two years OF
more, of the entire diplomatic relations between
the U. States and Russia, but as often as it is
brought to our contemplation, it strikes with
renewed establishment and indignation! If mere
boy is equal to sustain the weight of our diplomacy
ut the most important of European Courts, of how
little consequence must that diplomacy in reality
BET What solemn though extensive farce, is
our keeping Envoys Extraordinary and Ministers
Plonipoentary the residences of Royalty
How abominable that annual hundreds of thou
sands should be distracted from the pockets Of tho
industrious people, to support the idle pageant!
If on the other hand, there is really something
to do If, the diplomatic intercourse of nations il
OF peculiar delicacy, involves high responsibility
and demands the acutest and rarest talent wha
language of Reproduction is too strong to apply tc
Jackson for his conduct in regard to tho Russian
Mission.
