And we invite our brethren Of the press
throughout the South, to rally in support
of these distinguished men. Let their
names be held up, their claims investiga-
tea, their qualifications weighed in the
balances of we'll informed public judg-
ment, and their principles compared with
those of the great apostles Of liberty, and
our word for it, they will not be found
wanting. They are men of tho highest
order of talent-their honesty in private
and in public life, has never been question
ed. They are popular men, at home and
abroad-and fthe State Rights press will
be faithful in advocating their claims, they
can obtain greater number of votes than
Mr.. Van Buren, could in a single contest
with Mr.. Clay-their chance for success

A DREAM.

The balm Of sleep fell DER and drcamt-
Oh. 'swas . dear. and sweet, and happy dream!
dreams that was carried to a land,
fair and lovely land. round which the sea
Careered in all its wild and lonely grandeur.
There were most sweet retreats and fairy walks,
And shady groves. and softly puriing streams;
And all shrougho.s resounded to The songs
Of Naturs's choristers. The nightingale
With lively carol, the sweet full toned thrush,
And other fair innunerous songsters,
With dulcis strains Of mingled psalmody
1Eo;ian, charmed she listening scene-'swas sweet
As ma seraph sweeps sne harps Of heaven.
Around. the waved with their boautsous fruits,
Pears, peaches, apricots, and juicy plums;
And oranges in aureat clustering hung.
The air scented with fragrant balm,
As if from beds of franknconse it drew
Snbean sweetness. And overhead, the sky
Rolled cloudless.
With ecstacy l wandered
Throughout this lovely paradisal spot.
How sweet. thought I, to dwell in such place.
Afar from all the noisy haunss of men.
And oh, If there ons to dwell with me-
She, sae darling Of my hopes:
Scarce the wis.
Was uttered, when forth she came - mes: me,
Another Eve, in all her maiden beauty.
IN: she looked lovely, as her fine blue eye
Me, mine, AMI down her alabas:cr neck
Her golden hair in wavy rnsiets hung
"And art thou here my love, and wilt kay'
Oh. never more part. The world
To US is nothing now How sweet to love,
And be beloved. Here in this place well dwell:
Oh, speak! thy words music to mine carr
Her face hung II my bosom, and her eye
The angel Of her soul-picrced to my heart
stopped, and those dewy lips impressed
A long, long kiss. ssOa never more we past"'
And as l spoke, all faded f.om my view:
The golden light of morning broke the spell,
And I awoke to find such happiness
a shadowy unsubstantial dream.

PLAN OF A NATIONAL BANK.

Our correspondent yesterday noticed that MI. Clay had
On Monday, presented petition in favor Of Nationa
Bank The made by Mr. c. that occasion,
deeply ineressns-and therefore copy them from the
National In,e,lircncer: Baltimore Chronicle.
Mr. CLAY, Of Ky, rose, and stated that he
wished to present petition confided to his care,
signed BY a number of persons, praying for the
establishment Of Bank Of the United Statcs.-
Il was similar to several other petitions which had
been presented to the Senate, or to the House,
during the present session, praying tor the same
object They afford evidence Of deep aud re-
turning conviction among the People, OF the utll'-

Whilst l am up, (continucd Mr.. Clay,) with the
permission Of the Senate, beg leave to submit a
few observations upon this subject There is
reason TO believe that much honest misconception
prevail in regard to (which wish to correct.
Il had been supposed that those who are DESTROYS
Of seeing a Bank Of the United States established
Are anxious that charter should be granted to an
existing State Institution, which has an eminent
iudivid at its head-aDd that this was the sole
object OF all their exertions.-Now l wish, for

believe him uncommooly able, profouodly skilled
in finance, and truly patriotic. There - but one
other person. connected with the baking instiiu-
lions Of the country, whose administration Of the
Bank Of the U. 8. should have equal confidence
With Mr. Biddle, and that - Albert Gallatin, Who

in full rigoe, the faculties Of his exiraor1inaEy

4 member elect Of the lower chamber Of tho
Legislature Of this state, was last year persuaded
by some ways Of his neighborhood, that it he
did not reach the State House at 10 o'clock on
the day of Assembly, he could not be sworn, and
would lose his seat. He Immediately mounted,
with hunting frock, rifle and bowie knife, and
spurred till he got the door Of the State House,
where he hitched his nag. A crowd were in the
chamber OF the lower House tho ground floor,
walking about with their hats and smoking
sigars. These he passed, ran up stairs into the
Semitic chamber, set his rifle against the wall,

he was sworn without inquiry. When the Tel
Ter came TO count noses he found that there was

that he did not belong there. Fool srho! with
