PENALTIES OF PoPULARlTY.--A writer
in the New York Mirror, in an article under
the above caption, tells a very good anec-
dote of Mr.. Clay. He says; 81 shall nev-
er forget one incident, which thought suf
fcient to try the temper of a martyr, but
which had quite contrary effect on Mr.
Clay. 1t was day or two before his de-
parture for Washington to be present at a
meeting of Congress, and he was very busy
in the arrangement of his papers, when II
servant entered and said that some one at
the gule wished to see him.
show HIM in," said Mr.. Clay.
"Ilo is ON horseback, and says he cant
come in"
Tell him thrtI am extremely busy, and
that he nlusi come in if he wishes to see
me-
The servant went out, but soon returned
with he says he can't possibly get of his
beast
sfVel, if the mountain will not come to
Mahomet, suppose Mahomet must go to
the mountain;' and Mr.. Clay went out to
see what so peremptory vister might
want. The gentleman on horse back was
a sleek faced yankee, in pepper r-and-salt
pantaloons, a birthstone waistcoat with
glass buttons, and Il coat Of the latest down
| east fashion. After an interchange oicIvl-
lities, Mr.. Clay, supposing the man want
ed to dispose of his horse, remarked" "Thai
Is very fine animal you ride, ST.
sYes, pretty ia critter,' replied the
non -descript, slapping his COW hide boat
with his whip, and staring with all his
might and main in the Senator's face. Al
length, wondering at the silence of the fel-
low, and at his protracted stare, Mr.. Clay
was forced to remark--'My name, sir, is
Clay. Have you any business with me!
Business! oh no--none ia particular
but have hearn tell of you good deal il

and left Mr.. Clay laughing heartily at thu
encounter.

THE BLESSED SPIRIT.

The annexed extract from the ST. Caris-
vile Gazette, shows that the &" Blessed
Spirit" alias VIM. Morgan, was alive and
kicking, at the last adyices Here have
our patient friends, the antics been battling
to advance their cause--not principles
these nine years, "on the strength of dip
in Lake Erie" and 10 whom should we
have an account Of but the blessed head of
the party himself. No wonder our old
friend aunLy masonry, has given up the
ghost, and is now Harrison-i -ism-Clay or
any other ism, It's leaders may choose to
make it -
Col. Stone of the New York Commel-
cial Advertiser says, that some years ago
story was put in circulation, as a joke upon
human credulity, as 10 Morgan, the prelen-
ted revealer of masonic secrets, that he was
actually living in Smyrna,n Asia Minor.
The subject is just recalled to mind by
work issued from the London press by f.
il. Sandwich, Esq, entitled "Shores Of
the Mediterranean" who relates that he met
at Smyrna with renegade who had renoun-
ced the Christian faith and TUNED Mahom.
edan. He is a native of the United States
of America, by the name of Morgan and
pTetented to have revealed the masonic se-
crets. His life at home was threatened {;
his credulous countrymen believed he had
disappeared in the falls of Niagara, but he
found safety in fight, and is regarded by
the Aslatcs as a regenerated babe"
DIR. Rome was the person who, OH his re-
turn from Greece, in 1928, corroborated the
statement put forth at this time by the com
mercia Advertiser, that there was eccen-
tric individual at Smyrna, whose name was
Morgan, and prelented to know the secrets
of the free masOns.
What number Of tears the anti-nlasons
and feds have shed for nothing.

Indian disturbances IN the West.-We
gave, few days since, paragraph res
pecting the disturbances and murders among
the Cherokee tribe of Indians. We are in
debted TO gentleman of this city, clerk of
the steamboat ltascO, are more particulars
of these outbreakings. Our informant left
Little Rock, Arkansas. on Sunday, the l7th
instant. On the 4th of July there was TO
have been a special convention of the chiefs
Of the Cherokee nation at fort Gibson, for
the purpose of devising what measures
were necessary to be pursued, relative to
the murders recently committed by the
Ross party, on the Ridge portion Of the
Cherokees. The result of the deliberation
OF this convention was general that Ross
would be killed, as he would not give up
the murderers of the chief Ridge his father
and Boudinot. The latter of these it NAV
be rccollected, was half breed and was
formerly edited the Cherokee Phoenix, in
his own language, previous TO his removing
TO Georgia.
The nation is divided into three parties:
the original emigrants who located them
selves west Of the Mississippi previous 10
the treaty with the United States, ceding
their land--the Ridge party who made the
treaty with the government andimmediately
thereafter removed and the Ross party,
who refused to emigrale until fairly com
PEELED to do. Ross is an educated, cunning
half bred chief surrounded by seven hum
dred warriors, equal in numbers if not su-
perior to both the other gegmcnts of the
Cherokee nation. His ambition prompts
him to an usurpation OF authority which
will be tolerated by such Of the chiefs as
consider their right to rule prior to his, both
from the voice of their tribe, and long pos
session of their soil. This is the principal
cause of the murder and contentious now
existing among Cherokees; and the opinion
prevails in the Arkansas, that the difficulties
will not be settled except by bloodshed, per-
haps the death Of John Ross.
If the council should have determined on
a bloody revenge, it was supposed that the
Greeks would assist the party against Ross
In that event the United States troops would
be compelled to interfere to preserve peace
among the several tribes. This we under
stand, to be the object Of their location in
the vicinity of the indians-not TO interfere
with their laws of self government, or
manner of redressing grievances but to
preserve neutrality among the various tribes
quartered IN the far west.

THE Ma0,moth.--The remains of huge
animal were recently discovered twenty-five
miles From ST. Louis, near Sulphur
Sprigs, on the Herculaneum road imbedded
from 7 to IL feet from the surface beneath
solid rock. Mr.. Koch Of the st. Louis

rescuing from their burial place the head
and the tusks of The animal, which certain
ly in immensity Of size surpasses every
thing heretofore known in the animal
world. The tusks measure ten feet each,
and the head and tusks together weigh l 100
