THE COMPASS.

THE COMPASS.
The following chaste and beautiful lines are
from the London Evangelical Magazine.
The storm was loud--before the blast
Our gallant bark was driven;
Their foaming crests the pillows reared,
And not one friendly star appeared,
Through all the vaults of heaven.
Yet dauntless still the steersman stood,
And gazed without sigh,
Where poised on needle bright end slim,
And lighted By lanthorn dim,
The compass meets his eye
Thence taught his darksome course TO steer
He brcathed no wish for day;
Eut bravcd the whirlwind's head-long might
Nor once throughout that dismal night,
To fear or doubt gave way
And what is oft the Christians life
But storms as dark and drear,
Through which without one blithsome raw
OF worldly bliss to cheer his way,
He must his vessel steer!
Yet let him no'er to sorrow yield,
For in the sacred page
A compass shines diyinely true,
And self-illumined greets his view,
Amidst the tempest rage.
Then firmly let him grasp the helm,
Though loud the pillows roar,
And soon his tolls and troubles past,
His anchor he shall safely cast
On Cunaan's happy shore.

JOHN BELL AND HENRY CLAY.


John Bell, of Tennessee, nsp engaged
in eleyating Mr.. Clay to the presidency,
opposed him heretofore, and alleged as his
reason, amongst other things, that in 1925,
when the House of Representatives elect
ed ]. q. Adams, the rights Of large ma
iority Of the people we're disregarded,
which, at the time, was, in his opinion,
caused by corrupt coaldtion 6etueen j. @.
Adams and II. Clay. That this was his
belief we will show below.
Now, Mr.. Bell acts not only with per-
t. thai Mr.Clay stands at the head Of, but
actually scts the part Of an itinerant po-
i,ca missionary, preaching a crusade a.
gainst that same party that he once advo-
Gated. What has become Of the corrurt
coolatioa that he knew to exist in 1927
What is the cause of Mr.. Clay. puriGca-
tion. or is he not the same man in princi-
pie he was then? Has Mr.. Adams or the
party to which he belongs changed in
aught but name2 Mr. Bell, during the LIST 2
wears of Gen. Jackson's administration
supported him in all his leading measures.
Has the party, Of which Jackson was one
changed7 Is ii not the charge brought
ngainst Van Buren, that he follows in ''the
foot-steps?"
Two years had elapsed from the time
the charge was made of corruption and
bargain, which allowed Mr.. Bell time for
cool investigation and reflection, until he
charges home on Mr.. Adams and Mr. Clay
the existence Of this corrupt bargain-this
coalation. In letter over his proper sig
nature, bearing date "Sept. 18th, 1885,"
and published in the sTNasapilIe Republi-'
can and State Gazette" Of the 2lst Sept,
same year-Mr. Bell says:
@Inhuenced by these considerations
reiterate that my opinions ofthe pres
-ent administration, adams are in ac-
cordance with what believe to be
those of the great body Of the Repub-
Means Of The III. 8. I have seen the
highest and most important Office in
the Government filled byn1cans and IN
der eircatnsstances,d6ording aHthe epiden-
ces Of a coalition formed upon the basis 81
snutslal benefits, TO be reccired and confer
red, independently Of any controverted
point in the details, that the public can
ever expect the light of, in any COM
bination that has been or may be en-
tered into, to defeat the will Of the
people. Ambitions and aspiring politi-
clans, who have great characters to
sustain, and sense enough to guard a.
gainst the common blunders of the less
practiscd adopts in the arts of intrigue
and management in forming coalitions,
will seldom expose themselves to the
danger of detection from positive proof.
His not therefore. in my view of so
much importance; to consider whether
possibility Of innocence can be alb
mitted in favor Of the parties implica-
ted;-as to determine whether the pre-
sumption to the contrary is not SO great
in the present instance, that their con
tinuance in office would be incompati-
BILE with the safety and well being of
our political institutions. Believing as
| do, that we may calculate the dura-
ton Of our singUlarly happy form Of
government, by the degrees ofJeRlou-

rrcuRr.-rAcrs ps. BONDS SPEECH.


How unfortunate it was for the opposi-
ton, that in his charges, the bank bought
Bond specified the particular abuses and
extravagances. Had the charges been
general, they would not have came with
in the range, so easily, OF confutation-the
term profigate expenditures-disgracefu
squandering of the public money, &c. &c.
would have been much safer for the party,
for as n. Clay was heard to say, 1--WE give
it on the authority of correspondent ola
respectable paper, published in Ro.svile,
Ohio when he first saw Mr.. Bonds Speech
in print. he cursed and swore for more
than an hour, that the I'D folly of his
friends done him far more injury than all
the oppression Of his enemies! You know,
said he. addressing himself to some of his
more plant tools, that We have succeeded
mcst admirably in making the people be-
!.ieye, that the present and preceding adj
ministrations were Did extrsvagant
and corrupt, by making general charges
to that effect, which, if properly stuck to,
must have Frustrated the aspiring scoun
drels; but now, this I'D fool, alluding
to Bond, has, you see. holding up the pa
per, has undertaken to specify particular
Aliases, which the loco-fcco's will prove to
he false or explain away, which will cause
all our general charges Of corruption and
extravaganza to be discredited.
Never was there more true prediction
made in so many words for DR.. Duncan
fully sustained his prediction, by proving
every material allegation of Mr.. Bond, to
be false and sanderous.
The following is taken from the Globe,
from lengthy article, titled "the opposi-
ton and the expenditures" What are the
people to think of a party who, in the face
of these facts that none can gainsay pub
fish for effect, the lying Speech Of Bank
bought Bond? Figures will not lie:
