The speech was mine. After it was

Substantially correct, and according

two inaccuracies in it have since been
pointed out, which I had before observ-
ed, and which now do not appear to

last admission, that, ssln reference to

peared IN the public prints! The
publication was in no sense h:s! nor

STEAM FRIaATE.

We learn with pleasure that the U.
S. Steam Frigate FuLroN,recently con-
structed at New York, upon late trial
of her speed, was found to exceed the
most sanguIne expectations entertained
Of her qualities in that respect. She
went at the rate of eleven knots, with a
very slight pressure of steam-thus
proving conclusively the certain success
of vessels Of this description for nation
al purposes. She is, we believe, des-
tined for the West India Squadron, un-
der the command of Capt. w. c.
Perry.
1t must be evident to any one who
will cast few thoughts ahead, that the
whole line Of our coast must eventual
ly be defended by steam vessels Of war.
They have the advantage over FORTH
cations Of being able to shift their pos
sition and acting on the offensive a.
well as the defensive.

A Cua1os1rY.--Wc saw, a few days
since in the possession Of Dr.. Town
send, Of this city, petrifaction Of the
flesh and bone Of half human head in
perfect state, with full develope-
mcnt Of all the "bumps." 1t appears
to have once formed moiety Of the
caput Of an aged squaw whose teeth
had bid farewell to her jaw long enough,
before life had left the body to permit
the face to contract, and the lips to
shrivel, but the demi-countenance is
otherwise in fine state Of preserva-
ton, though not remarkable for its
beauty. 1t was found in Wheeling
Greek, about mile from town.

WHITE LEAD MANDATORY.

We were yesterday invited to ex-
anime a specimen Of painting, by Mr..
Wilgus, on the new house Of Mr.. M.
L. Clark, Of this city. In the paint
ing Of the same room, there has been
used the white lead Of English manu-.

facture, and another part Of the room,
the white lead manufactured by Messrs.
Charles, Reed & Co., Of this city.
Without knowing which was the for
eign lead, or which was the domestic,
we decided in favor Of the home manu-
factory. After being informed, we
were unable to discover any superiori-
ty of the foreign article over the home,
except that the English was not so
clear and brilliant as white as the other.
We are informed that the foreign
article was pronounced by the artist
to be Of the best quality; if so, we see
no reason why that manufactured in
St. Louis, should not entirely super
cede the use Of the imported article.
Those who may wish to satisfy them
selves upon the merits Of the article
manufactured here would do we'll to
examine the two a. presented in the
house Of the gentleman mentioned

disposition we might have to encour-

Co., 10 the foreign article.-Mo. Rep.

State was to have been married on
thanksgiving day to an NJ. D. from
Massachusetts,. The parson was ready,
the bridegroom had come, the guests
were waiting, and all were restraining
their mirth. till the knot was tied; rea-
dy then to break out in the usual fes-
tive repartees. Just at this iuncture,
says the Lowell Advertiser, the wor-
thy and courageous doctor demanded
a solemn promise from his fair one,
ssthat she would attend no more eve
ming meetings" With an independ-
ence which became woman, she refu-
sed to promise or to sacrifice her priv
ilege upon 50 trivial point, which so
enragcd her lover that he bid her final
adicu, and departed in coach which
stood at the door. She is better with
out than with such man who cared so
little about her as to enact such petty
attempt a, Tyranny at such time
1t seems that the pair had been in the
habit during their courtship Of attend
ing evening meetings together. A
poor fool, must the doctor be; but we
glory in the brides .spunk,' as we say
in New Hampshire.

year it has been used in mine, and ]

labor-savings that has lately been in.
troduced into use. If those who see
it would recommend it to their wash
erwomen, it would save them from
many an hours hard washing with
their hands. / have the authority Of
chemist to say, that the ingredient.
are not at all injurious to the articles
cleansed by their aid.
"Take five gallons Of water, one
pound Of brown soap, cut up in small
pieces, two ounces Of soda, broken up
fine, two quarts Of lime water, (made
with cold water,) and put them in q
vessel to boil. Put the clothes in wa.
ter over night. When the mixture j.
at boiling heat, put the clothes into il
without wringing them. Let them
boil one hour, then put basket over
tub, and put the clothes in it to drain;
then wash them through one hot wa.
ter, and afterwards rinse themas com
monty done.

"on, rnE EXPERIMENT."
Much has been said by the oppo-
nents of Democracy about the expert
ments-the "cruel experiment." ]
propose to,take view Of experiments,
and see how much advantage we have
derived from them, and show that the
fathers of our country were experi-
mentors.
When the eolonists were oppressed
by the mother government, the fathers
Of our republic tried the experiment Of
petitions for redress Of grievances
then Of remonstrance. They failed.
They then tried the untried expert
ment Of an appeal to arms in defence
Of their rights, and plunged the coun-
try into a long and bloody war; this
experiment succeeded, and placed the
United States on the list of free. sove-
reign and independent nations. The
articles of confederation were adopted;
after sufficient trial the experiment
failed. The experiment of the Con-
stitution followed, and has proved sue
cessfuI, notwithstanding many feared
that it would not stand the shock Of
war. When our commerce was plum
dered by the European powers, the ex-
periments Of non-interrourse and en-
barge and non-intercourse were adopt
ed;-they failed, were dropped, and
an appeal was made to to arms. This
last experiment was successful.-An
experiment ola National Bank as re-
gulator Of the currency has been twice
tried, and has twice failed; for Banks
did fail while this regulator of the cur
rency was in its greatest strength.
Why should we again attempt to estab-
lish an institution that has failed to do
what it promised? The experiment Of
using the State Banks as fiscal agents
has been tried and has failed. Why
should we refuse to try the experiment
Of the sub-treasury system? If we can
reason from the past, there is but little
danger to be apprehended from the tri-
al; il it fails like other experiments
that have not equalled the expectation
of the originator, it will be dropped.
Our Government is an experiment.
History tells us of no other govern
mcnt like ours. The fathers Of our re-
public struck boldly out from the old
beaten track, and pursued course that
had never been tried before. What is
the result of sixty wears trial of the
experiment of government of the
people? Look at the condition Of our
Canadian neighbors; sec the difference
between them and ourselves? Con.
trast the condition Of the thirteen de.
pendent colonies with the twenty six
sovereign States-the canals and raj
roads with Indian fruils-the rude bark
canoes of the Indians and the noble
steamers and ships. The farmer enjoy.
the benefits of experiments in the supe
riority Of the modern plough, of thrash
ing and other labor-saying machines
Why should we decline further expe
riments? Have we reach perfection
or as near it as human ingenuity cal
approach? Let us go on with expert
ments; let US give the sub-treasury sys
tenn trial; if it fails it can be put BY
with the National Bank and other fail
ures.-[ Detroit Weekly Post.

A NOBLE DEED.


A few days since gentleman from
Philadelphia. with his wife and only
child, daughter about four years old,
had taken passage on board the steam
boat Buffalo, which was making pre-
parations to depart. The little daugh-
ter having wandered unperceived from
her fathers arms, and while playing
near the guards, fell overheard. The
cry was given Of drowning child
The father could hot swim--the moth
err in an instant became almost distract
ed. At length the father cried out
"will no one save my child!-my on
ly child!!" At this moment boy,
apparently about twelve years Of age,
sprang forward, saying "sir, I'll Try to
save your child" and loffing his fur
cap, the little fellow plunged in with
his clothes and boots on. The child
was going down the second time in
thirty feet water, when the boy caught
the treasure and restored it safely to
its mother. The best of it is, the boy
refused any compensation for what he
had DONE Pittsburg Express.

PUBLIC LANDS. shapdebate took
place yesterday in the Senate, on the
public lands. A bill was on its passage
to repeal the old law, applicable only
to the old five years. credit system,
which bound the new States not 10 tax
the land sold by the United States un-
til five years after the sale; alaw which
merely meant that they should not be
taxed until they were paid for, until
which time the United States retained
lien upon them. There being no
credit now, and consequently no lien,
there was no longer any reason for the
law, and its repeal was demanded by
the Senators from the new States. Mr..
Clay took the floor against the bill, and
spoke some FIVE or six times, not mere
~ against the bill, but against any plan
of reduction, or graduation Of price, or
presumption to settlers, and denounced
the doctrines of President Van Buren's
Message. He was answered by sever
al Senators, among the rest by Mr..
Allen Of Ohio, who principally spoke
to Mr.. CIay's attack upon the forma-
ton Of the public land committee, Al
being too favorable to the new States
In reply to Mr.. Allen, Mr.. Clay wa.
unfortunate enough to indulge his in.
clination for rude personality, and sub.
jected himself to reply which he will
not forget during the remainder Of his
existence. Nor will those who heard
it forget it; nor will their be dissen.
