HENRY CLAY.-Mr. JEFFERsoN-TEMPF-
RANCE.
As the Van Buren, Press, ssTraH, Blanche,
Slceethear, little dogs and all," are out in full
cry against Mr. Clay, we know not why we
may not take part in indicating his name
from the aspersions which they daily cast up
on him, and occasionally publish something in
our columns that will be convincing to some,
at Least, that he is not such reprobate as the
presses referred to would have the people to
believe. Mr.. Clay is a great Statesman and
pure patriot, and however much we dislike
some of his political notions, we yet believe
him to be great and good man, whose exer-
tions in public life have for their end the per-
manent good and welfare of our common
country. We find the following in the Anne.
rican Temperance Union:
We had the pleasure of mingling with
Kentucky's favorite son, Mr.. Clay, some eve.
nings since, In large party collected at the
house OF the President of the Pennsylvania
State Temperance Society to do him honor
IN which, while every other qualification
which appetite could demand was furnished
not drop of intoxicating liquor was given
1t was proud triumph of temperance ovel
the tyranny of destructive fashion, The dis.
tmgulshed statesman expressed unuch gratif
cation at the progress of temperance, but
gave lis gentle hint not to make Temperance
test This we design to do in no othel
sense than we make talent, and upnghtness
and correct principles a test. If we find two
men of equal claims in other respects, anC
one "touches not, tastes not" while the othe
uses Intoxicating drinks, we should give tht
former the preference. Said Mr.. Jefferson
"during my administration I have had NOR,
trouble from men who use ardent spirit thai
from all other sources whatever, and were
again to appoint men to office, the first ques
ton would put respecting each indvidua
would be, is he addicted to ardent spirit!''-
We hope It viii be put by every succeeding
President of the United States. And let tn
people put it too, respecting the candidate 70
the chief magistracy. at is not for Kings I
drink ,oine nor for princes TO drink Stron
drink, lest they drink and forget The laao, an
peruert The judgement Of the afflicted"

'BALDyvIN'S BATHS.

Doctors Lpscomb, Cornell and Estes, and
NJ VI. Brigham, Esq. were, a short time since
mvieito examine and analyze the water Of
.Blldwin's Spring. The following was the
result Of their examination:
A large quantity Of common salt or muri-
ate Of soda, sulphate of Magnesia, or epson
salt salphate and muriate of lime. Propor-
lions no. given. They give 1t as their opinion,
that "tle water is gently laxative and diuret-
&c, and when used as bath is slightly stimu-
hlngto the skin, and removes with readiness
al impurities that may collect on the surface
Of the body. The water viii no doubt be
useful to dysPeptics, convalescents, and 9th
cr' who may labor under a costive habit Of bo-
dy Bathing in the water will be of service to
rheumatic patients, and those laboring under
diseases Of the skin"
+. Hooker, Esq. Chemist of this city coin
cdes in the above opinion after an examina-
aonot the water, and bathing in it, and adds
that he has ".ound them by experience to give
all the benefit Of a nitro muriatic acid bath

ry one, the principle door.keeper had gone
off with the key, and the o6tsides could
not get an ingress.
It was then finally found that only two
members were absent-Messrs. Jackson
of Ga. and Bruyer of New York..
The motion to suspend further proceed
lngs on the call being successful. another
roar of'queStion' ensued. Mr.. Cushman
demanded the previous question, which

lated) adopted by the committee. The
Chair now put the main question, on which
the yeas and nays were ordered The
greatest excitement now filed the house,
as the decisive moment approached and
the Speaker having with great solemnity
commanded the members. to observe 81.
ence during the vote, the clerk commenc-
ed his task.
1t was strange TO see the commotion
and excitement that moment before pre-
vaded that assembly, subside so suddenly
and be succeeded by the most perfect still
ness, which was only broken by the mono
tonous voice ofthe clerk, the various tones
in which the members responses were
given, and the scratching of pens as most
Of them marked down their votes, while
now and then a slight laugh would &c
round as some of the rough ones rattled
their ayes and noes with pointed empha-
Sis thatindicated their feelings. To ado
more to this exciting scene, Just as the
c.crk had nearly got through the list, dis.
charge of artillery reverberated through
the ball, 1t being the last guns fired in no.
nor Of the close Of the procession'of ma
sons who have celebrated St Johns Day
here. This unexpected salyo, dare say
was considered omnious by both parties.
At last the result of the vote was an
nounced by the chair as being III avel
and l25 noes; so the bill was mol ordered
to engrossment by a majority of IA
| The announcement was received calmly
by the members, because the result wa.
toresecn, but the gallei les not being so in
formed, gave vent to a general clappins
OF hands and stamping of feet, that showed
plainly how uncertain and anxious the7
had been as TO the. result.

In the Senate, the resolution from tn
House fixing the second Monday in July
for closing the session, was received an
i read. Mr.. Clay of Ky. wished to dispos
/, ofifat once, but the proposition was oppo;
l, cd on the ground that some Senators, dc
n sirous of voting on it were absent.
It was postponed till tomorrow.
: Now that the Sub Treasury bill is di

cry means u their power 70 divideapd dis
tract the whig party. They believe, and ve-
.rycorrectly too, that if they can re-elect Mr..
Van Burenfllat they can thereby prevent the
annexation Of Texas to this country for tie
next seven yeazs and eventually defeat that
measure forever. Thisis Is, therefore, ques-
ton of lys or death tothern. and they win con-
sequently yield up all other principles and con-
considerations to effect it-and, for that pur-
pose, mast and soiH support Mr.. Van Buren
inpreference TO any other candidate. A cir
cumstanee that renders this project of these
fanatics more dangerous is, that there has
long existed in the North large and powerful
party which have invariably opposed the
growth and prosperity of the South and which
VIII readily join the Abolitionists in this new
crusade against your domestic institutions.
This party, you no doubt well recollect oppos.
ed in 1920, the admission Of Missouri into the
Union unless slavery was prohibited within
her conines-and preferred dissolution q
the Union to the increase of political power
which this measure would give to the South.
ern States in the National councils. This
Party were then as now composed exclu.
sively of Federalists and to it belonged MAR.
TIN VAN BUREN, who, not only aided then
IN opposing the reelection of JAMES MAD1
son, who was the Republican War Candi
date-but who voted with them in the New
York LEGISLATURE, instructing the Senator
from that State to oppose the admission o
Missouri into the Union unless she relinouish
ed the right of holding Slaves
1t was the prevailing policy of the Federal
lists in that day, to prevent the increase Q
slare-holding States, because such a measur,
was calculated to perpetuate the supremacy
which the South then maintained in the Ma
tional councils-and it was for this identica
reason that Mr.. Van Buren, the secret autho
Of the Proclamation and Force Bill reiecte
the annexation of Texas (out of which 81
large slave-holding States could have bee
created) and Is now constantly encourapin
emigration to the North W esten region {
the Union, 1ohere sZarery is prohibited bg Ian
and where new Abolition States are springin
up every year. From these remarks yo
will be able to perceive why Florida, Ca Sial
holding Territory has been the theatre of
fire gears acGr with handful of savages.

out OF the Union!-You shall hear from N

This anniversary was celebratedin our city
in a manner worthy of the occasion. No ac-
cidents occurred to mar the festivities of the
occasion, and at the close of the day, we did
not observe any excess or disorder. The pro-
cession according to the arrangements preVi-
ously published, was formed in Franklin
Square under the direction Of E. B. Drake
and H. s. Taylor, Esqrs. as marshaIs of the
day. After it had passed through some of
the principal streets, it proceeded to the Epis-
copal church, where after prayer by the Rev.
M. L. Forbes, the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence was read in a very impressive manner,
by General P. M. GRANT. w. Fl. MAYO
then delivered an Grafton according to ap-
pointment, after which the procession return
ed to the Franklin Square where the military
fired feu de jOi, and the procession was dis
banded. The military looked exceedingly
wen, and Colonel Byrn's juvenile company Ia
their red hunting shirts and white pantaloons
and feathers, did infinite credit, in their con-
duct and appearance, to their commander and
instructor. The appearance in the proces.
sion of one war worn soldier Of the Revolu.
ton was exciting and interesting. His silver
locks bespoke him Of another age, and as ;
