Mr.. Levy and the Democracy.

The long expected day of triumph and re-
joicing among the democracy has rolled by
end Col. Levy did not .'arncn in our town
The day was pleasant, and numerous were the
democrats in attendance to be enlightened by
that burning laminary of democracy--but the
Col. did, come II, he was numbered among
the wanting Has Col. Levy arrived! was the
question. What can detain him he surely
will be here, said the faithful, for ne discourse
ed the people OF Camden the other day within
inch-not of their ludgments--but within
an inch of their lives. But suffice it to say
the Col. did mt ''arnv''-and this .'lightn of
democracy did not Hume our village.
The Col. we are told has returned home
aud there with all kindness We would advise
him TO remain, in enjoyment of ''otium cum
degnatate,' until he is called By his fellow
citizens to come forth from his retreat and be-
come 4 c1ndidate for some station in the gov
eminent. What has Col. Levy 10 do with the
political principles Of the people Of Madison
does he suppose they are not capable within
themselves of discriminating betwe en- ri ght and
wrong! That they devoid of reason and
the lights of knowledge, and that they need
his assistance to remove the Egyptian dark ness
that surrounds them I've hope not. But if
he does, we think it would be infinitely in bet
ter taste if the Col. would confine himself and
his labors to the limits of his own county
until he can properly and legitimately come
before them. Fallen indeed must be the
condition of this community, if they are to
look 10 and depend upon the dispositions ofthis
political missionary to guide them in the paths
of truth and republican principles, 10 that great
goal for which they all struggling. But the
Col. has returned TO bis home, and our worst
wish is-peace be with him-aEd that tn ere he

We have read Mr.. Clay's speech. delivered in
the Senate on the 9Th of February, and richly
does it merit all the eulogiums bestowed upon
il, as one of the most powerful and dispassion-
appeals to the sound Judgment and patriot
ism OF the citizens OF this great republic. We
learn that it has received the Communications
"f the press of the two great parties in the
Union. and is looked upon selling the ques-
ton that has SO long harrassed the people OF

Upon entering the Senate chamber this morn

audiences l have yet seen during the present
session of Congress in that far famed forum of
National LIE gislafion. The ladies gallery was
thronged with brilliant collection of inreili-
gent women, and every other place where
there w as room for admission was equally full
1t was whispered late last evening and this
morning that Mr. Clay W ould make speech upon
the vexed question of A BOLTON, and that me-
mortal was 10 be presented by him from two or
three hundred citizens of the District of Colun.-

speech from Mr.. Clay that brought the crowd

said, enough to fill every nook and corner of

Gaming and Gamblers.

We had hoped that the notice of our District
Attorney TO the Justices of the Peace, would
nave been regarded by them, and that means
would Aaxe been taken ere this, TO rid this
community 81 these pests of society and NOR
ahty-gamblors But the officers OF the law
eth sumber upon their posts. The most
shameful neg igenee. wiful nlafeasance
governs their conduct. Laws had better never
have been written, than to be administered by
such officers.
When are elected TO ill judicial or
executive station, they owe to society prompt
and faithful discharge of their duty, and they
should look TO something beyond their own
personal feelings they should endeavor to
carry on, the intention oil the laws, and enforce
them according to their letter and spirit They
have sworn thus tie support and thus to admin
lister them. No State can boast of better laws
TO prevent unlawful gaming, than Mississippi,
and Vet there are but few places where that
vice prevails a greater extent than here.
Justice has 50 long been enveloped in net OF
forms that every one thinks that he is secure
from the power of the Iaw-that he can never
be reached, and that all infrac tons of lis ord-
nances may be made with IMMUNITY. But let
them hug this illusion to their hearts-the time
is fast rolling round when the law will assert
its supremacy. and these faithless guardians of
the public, will receive their just reward. We
have been assured that their official conduct
