Hon. DAVID CRocKETT,-during his
late visit in Boston, addressed crowd OF
people from the balcony Of the City
Hall, in very sensible speech, in which
he thanked his fellow citizens for their
kind attention.
lie said he did not come to this part Of
the country to make show, or for any
electioneering purpose, but merely to
see the people, and learn from personal
observation, whether what he had heard
of them were true. He said he had
been over persuaded by his friend Gen.
John Thomas, Of Louisiana--and he
was now glad Of ito come to the east
and see some of the manufacturing towns.
He had been to Lowell, and he wished
that every man in Tennessee could do
the same, and learn what he had learn
ed. He said we should be better and
happier people, if our Senators and
Repre- sentatives would travel about moie
than they do. lie alluded to South
Carolina, and notification, and said that
he was proud that he did not belong a
lone to any town, county or slate, Out 10
the whole country. He was of no mans
sect or party, but for the constitution and
the laws. He alluded to the course OF
the President, and reprobated it in strong
language. In conclusion, he again
thanked his fellow citizens for the kind
ness and attention shown to him, and
said he should ever remember it with
gratitude. He had come ou, in this
way with reluctance, but was, on the
whole, glad that he had had such an op-
portunity Of expressing his sentiments.
The assemblage was very large, and
had collected without preparation, by the
accidental passage Of the people at that
hour e o'clock) ofthe day on 'Changc,

MIR. WEBsrER's Speech ofthree hours
this morning, (says the Washington Cor
respondent of Poulson's Advertiser,
"was so admirable an effort, such close
piece of logic, so divested Of extraneous
ornament, so Ineligible, so convincing,
and altogether so powerful, that | ven-
ture to say, it will be read more than
any document that has been published
this winter. 1t is the very core Of sound
argument: any man who reads it-(and
he must be an ideot who cannot compre-
hend twill find in it the demolition Of
all sophistry, and such beautiful and
irresistible vindication of the constitution
and laws, that all flimsy equivocations
about the nature of Executive Power,
are forever annihilated, and the whole
subject, complicated as some would
make it, transparent as light to the use
Of common sense and honesty. 1t pro-
duced a prodigious effect"

THE KNIcKERBocKER, or Ne,c- Yorh
Monthly Magasine.-We have been po.
litely favored by the editors, with the
May number of this highly popular peri,
odical, published in New-York by j.
Disturnell-Messrs. Clark and Edison,
propretors. 1t will be seen that the
work has recently passed into other hands,
the former proprietors having relinquish-
ed in favor Of the above named gentle
men, who assure the public that "no ex-
ertions will be left unemployed, to rem
der the work honorable to American
Periodical Literature, and acceptable to
the public, whose patronage is only so
far solicited, as it shall seem to be de-
served" The present number contains
several very able articles. The notice
of Talleyrand is full of interesting infor-
nation. The article on "Peace Socie-
ties" is highly creditable to its author.
The Review of the Pilgrims of the
Rhine," by the able author of opel
ham"--the beautiful illusions of Mrs.
Miss Hannah +. Gould, and
those of Willis Gaylord Clarke, togeth-
er with several other misc celaneous pie
ces, add very much to the interest Of the
work. We have extracted CA Song of

CONGRESSIONAL.

epIn the remarks Of Mr.. Hardin on
Thursday last, which will be found un-
der our Congressional head, some idea
will be formed of the business which still
remains to be acted upon previous to the
adjournment Of Congress.-We have in
serted them at length, as they give a
more comprehensive view Of the great
mass Of unfinished business now before
Congress, than we recollect to have be-
fore seen. Judging from the length Of
time occupied in disposing Of the busi-
ness already acted upon, it is impossible
to calculate when Congress will adjourn,
if the business which yet remains to be
completed must be disposed of in the us
ual way. The hot weather, may, per-
haps, expedite the movements Of the
members in some degree, (for the sake
of getting honey although we apprehend
not to sufficient extent to accomplish
all that the good Of the nation, and the
interest of their constituents will requir
at their hands.
