The following article has appeared in our
paper before, but it is none the "worse for
wear"-indeed, it ought to be stereotyped:
INDEBTEDNESS OF THE West TO HENRY
CLAy.-The Buffalo, IN. W Wing, in long
and eloquent article upon the ilIustrious ser
vices of Henry Clay, and his eminent supe-
riority over all others as a candidate for the
Presidency, has the following paragraph re-
Iative to his all-powerfui agency at Client in
preserving to the United States the invalua-
BILE navigation of the "Eternal River"
At the treaty of Client, the British COM
missioners demanded as a sine qso non. that
Great Britain should, during all after time,
during all after time, enjoy an equal right
with the people of the United States, to ma
vigate the whole of the Mississippi river.
And strange as it may now seem, it is analis-
torical fact, that majority Of the American
commissioners were in favor Of granting this
most unreasonable and arrogant claim. It
should be remembered however, that the sun
of Napoleon had then set; that the glory, and
power of Great Britain were at their zenith
that the news Of the battle of New Orleans
had not reached Europe, and that the Amer
lean commissioners had but little grounds for
hope, while those CT Great Britain were big
with confidence. Butthe master spir;t-the
great champion of aSeamen's right" ,-was
a member of that memorable council, and
peremptoriIy refused to sign any treaty
which contained the right of Great Britain
to navigate this aFather Of Waters" In this
struggle, Mr.. Clay had not, like Gen. Jack
son, cotton bags for breast-work, nor MUIR
derous Kentucky rifemen to lssel with the
dust, an opposing foe. No, twas open field
ight-Henry Clay against three friends, and
the mastersof Europe, and the conquerors Of
Napoleon. At this day FIVE hundred steam

POETRY.
SHE LOOKS Upon THE RING

SHE LOOKS Upon THE RING.
She looks upon the ring,
In dream Of happiest days,
When the lips of one now dead and gone,
Were opened but 10 praise.
When life o'erhowed with promise
Ofhappy, happy years,
In one dread day that passed away
To torture and to tears.
She looks upon the ring,
In the bloom ofpurest. youth,
And can recall, remembering all
His tenderness and truth.
The flowers he fondly gathered,
And in her bosom laidi
Have never lost their summer bloom
Those flowers will never fade.
: She looks upon the ring,
And the winter melts away
The very air is golden
1t is the prime of May.
The fields thro' which they walk to church,
She sees,-the bloom, the sky
And ofthe beauty of that day,
The scene can never die.
She looks upon the ring,
And her check a moment CLOVIS
Again seem blended in her hair
The lily and the rose.
She sees bridal party
OF maiden white CLEAN
And the merry chime of village bells
Il mingling in her dream.
She looks upon the ring,
And her native home she sees,
AS last she took a lingering look,
Beyond the village trees.
She hears her fathers blessing
And feels her mothers tears
And in one moment knows again
The bliss and woes of years.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The rights of editors and publishers of
papers have been too long neglected. JUS
tice will never be done unless themselves
assert their rights and enforce the most rigid
rules, which in the end will be found alike
salutary to the public and beneficial to those
engaged in the press. Publishers of papers
have been so long imposed upon by the COM
munity at large, that they are considered to
when in fact there ls no vocation in life so
honorable, deserving Of SO high considera,
ton, productive of SO much good, a class
that exerts so powerful an influences. 1t is
known to be proverbial for the debtors to
newspaper publishers to consider their de-
mands as the last to be paid-debts TO which
there is attached no moral obligation and
which they can refuse to pay with justice
and honor: hence it is incumbent upon the
conductors of the press to assert their own
rights and resolve, severalIy and jointly, to
bring all patrons Of newspaper under the
same obligations that attach to other con-
tracts, or always remain in poverty and
want, with thousands due them from the
most solvent men in the country.
We call upon all editors and publishers of
papers who approve of the following rules
to endorse them by their ignatures-place
them at the head Of their papers and strictly
adhere TO them.
LIST. No subscription received without
payment in aduance.
End. No subscription received for less
than six months.
Bird. Advance payment will be required
from all transient advertisers.
4th. To announce no man for any office,
either State or County, without the aduance
payment Of ten dollars
9Th. Political circulars charged as adyer-
tisements, and payment in Advance.
9th. All advertisements of persouaf al
cation will be charged double, and payment
required in advance.
7th. Election tickets will not be printed
without order, nor delivered to any person
without payment.
9Th. All subscribers, without respect to
persons, who are delinquents, on the first Of
October, will be stricken from the list and
their accounts put in suit.
The above rules, we the undersigned
pledge ourselves to abide by.

seated himself beside an old man in specta-
eles, and whispered in his ear, and the old
man chuckled, and arose and addressed the
meeting, proving that all things were lawful
in politics, even to bribery and perjury
And the people were blinded by his argu-
