Compliment to New England-The
following beautiful compliment to New
England was pronounced by the Hon.
William B. Shepard of North Carroll
5na, in the course of "a speech deliver
ed in the U. s. House Of Representa-
81 tives:
'Did believe it essential to the pros
y perity or welfare Of the Southern States
that the manufactures of the North
SHOULD be levelled with the dust, it would
be an unpleasant duty to vote benefit
ITO myself, which would be entire ruin
sto another. A few summers ago, while
flying from the demon of ill health,
visited New England. | found her
towns and villages crowded with an in.
dustrious and enterprising population,
bier hills and vallies redolent with health,
prosperity and contentment; every mind
seemed to beintent, every hand was &C.
coupled; the world does not contain a
more fourishing community. There
the advantages of education are extern
D ded to the poorest individual in society,
a and that society receives its remuner-
4 alton in his sober, Industrious and eco
nomical habits. If the divine Plato
were alive, he would no longer draw
upon his Imagination for specimen of
perfect republic; he would there find
a community, in which the humblest
individual had the same voice with his
more wealthy neighbour, in laying the
q public burdens for the public welfare.
Il asked myself if it were possible that
the prosperity Of this people could be
i the hot-bed production of an artificial
system, or rather if it We're not the re-
suit of long continued toll, of an in
dustry that never tired, Of an economy
that never slept. / looked upon the
scene around me with no feelings of
discomfort; | felt the more rejoiced as
! it was part of my country.
A hit at NATURALIZATION late
speech of Mr.. Clarkson. in the Penn
sylvania Legislature.
"There was, he said trait of hu.
man nature as conspicuous in the ma
tional as the individual character. 1t
was, the proneness of man to exact
from those who were always willing to
submit rather than contend. We saw
it in the cradle. A child in the arms
would cry for one toy, and if he got ii
he would cry for every thing he saw;
he would cry for the moon and beat his
nurse, because she couldn't give it to
him. An illustration of our peevish sis
ter. She cried for the tariff and she got
it; and then she cried for modification
ofthe tariff, and she got that too; and
now she is crying and threatening to
beat us, because we will not throw into
her lap, as mere toys, the constitution
and laws, and politics of the Union, the
sun moon and stars of our political fir.
mament."
SAMUEL l.. Southland, (late Secre-
tary of the Navy,) now Governor
of the State Of New JERSEY, was. ON
the Odd ult. elected Senator of the u.
States from that State, for six wears.

Baron Krudener, Minister Plenipo-
tertiary, heretofore from Russia, has
returned to the United States in the

A good round debit appears from
the documents printed by Congress re-
speeding the bad debts of the United
states Bank, that Smith &c Buchanan,
OF Baltimore, owe the Bank, as prin.
cipals and endorsers, the pretty little
sum OF one million and ninety thousand
b dollars. This immense amount was
lost prior to 1920.
