In the report Of Mr.. Clay's speech in the

TIT lIe report OF MI Gay speech IN tNe
Journal Of Commerce, is the following:
"Without meaning any disrespect or IN
kindness to the Chief Magistrate, ! must be
allowed TO say, that if the opinions and
course of Mr.. Tyler on the subject had
been anticipated, by the patriotic conven-
ton at Harrisburg, he would nothave obtain.
ed one vote in that body for Vice President.
nor one solitary ELECTORAL vote in the Uni
ted States"
Then Mr.. Clay must have expected Mr..
Tyler to sacrifice lis oath Of office. his con-
sis,ancy, his conscience. lis honor, and his
character as a man, at the shrine of party.

80 cay, does the Star-spnnsled Bonner yet wave
Der the land ofthe free, aud the home Of the brave"
We learn from the Ohio Statesman, that
Frances S. kET, Esq. has been removed
from the Office Of District Attorney Of the
United States. for the District Of Columbia.
and Philip r. Fendall a fcderalist. appoin-
ted in his place. Mr.. Key is the Author Of
that patriot ard justly admired song, the
"Star-spangled Banner" lie wrote it while
detained as a prisoner on board Of a British
man-of war during the late contest with
England, and on the night which the
British commander determined TO attack
Baltimore. As the fleet was passing by
Fort McIIenry, it was discovered and a
fire was opened upon II which was returned:
and the night being dark, Key could only
tell by the flash Of the cannon, that the
S~.ar-spangled Banner Of his country, still
waved in triumph over the Fort. This was
the night that he retired below, and amid
the roar Of cannon, gave vent TO his feelings
by committing to paper the song Of the Star
spangled Bunner!m Though his body was
imprisoned BY his country's foes, the
flame Of liberty glowed warm in his bosom,
as the feelings which dictated the following
song, plainly evince:
"STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.
30 say can you see, by the da~n's early
light,
VIVA, so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's
last cleaning.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars ,hro' the
perilous fight,
Ger the ramparts we wa,ch'd were so gal
lantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs burst
ing in the air
Gave proof through the night that our flag
was still there;
o! say does the S~tar-spangled Banner yet
wave,
Ger the land Of the free, and the home OF
the brave?
"On the shore dimly seen through the mists
Of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread ST.
lence reposes,
What is that which the breeze DER the
towering steep,
AS it f,fulIy blows, half conceals, hall
dlScloSesI
Now it catches the CLEAN Of the mornings
first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the
stream:
IT'S the St~ar-spangled Banner-O, long
may it wave
Ger the land Of the free, and the home Of
the brave.
sand where IS that band who so vaun,ingly
swore,
That the havoc Of war and the battles
confusion,
A home and a country should leave US no
more!
Their blood has wash'd out their foul foo I
steps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave.
From the terror Of flight or the gloom of the
grave.
And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph
doth wave,
Ger the land of the free, and the home OF
the brave.
30 thus be ~it'ever, when freeman shall stand,
Between their lov'd home, and the wars

Blest with vic,'ry and peace, may the HsaY.

Cincinnati, Saturday noon.
Sept. 18th, 194l. !.
Awful Riot..Several lives lost.
Our city was thrown into great excitemen,
last night. Ii originated from a quarrel that
took place Thurday night, on Columbia
street, between a few negroes and whites, in
which one Of the latter was stabbed and cut
awfully, so that it is thought he cannot live.
In consequence of this two or three thou.
sand persons collected around the houses of
the negroes on Sixth street, East of Broad,
way. The negroes, apprehensive of an af.
fray, had armed themselves with muskets,
and fired upon the crowd. The Mayor in
forms US he thinks two whites and two ne
groes are killed and about Is or 90 wounded,
mostly whites.
During the ARRAY, a cannon was brought
up. loaded with slugs, and fired down Sixth
street two or three times, raking the streets,
but with what effect is not we, known. The
Mayor, who was on the ground all night,
called out two military companies. the
GRAYs and GUARDS, and both squares from
Fifth 10 Seventh, are guarded by, and under
control OF the military and a large body of
armed volunteers, the negroes being all con-
fined to their houses.
No destruction of property Of conse-
quence has taken place.
The city is still in great excitement; and
a special meeting Of the Council is to be
held at 10 o'clock this morning, when strong
measures will u~ndoubtly be taken to pre-
serve the peace OF the city.
A Town Meeting of the citizens general.
~ is TO be Immediately held for the same
purpose.

We should be highly gratifed to be able
to present as fa,tering an account Of the
Crops, in this county as the "Free Press"
gives Of those in St. Charles. We have no
tobacco-certainly not one eighth of the
crop that would have been made with a "a
vorable season. The Crop Of corn is moth.
ing like an average one; and with y
ception of the wheat crop, the f
Pike have nothing to boast Of. In
have never known a dryer season.
FreePress says;
"The season is now nearly over, and crops
are nearly made. This has been a great
crop year in ST. Charles. The crops of
wheat were excellent, the corn crops very
abundant, and the tobacco crops are as good
as were ever seen in any country. Amuch
larger quantity ct tobacco has been raised
in this year in st. Charles county than in
rny former year, and the crops are heavy
and generally Of the finest quality"

There is not the least pallia,ion for any
man, whether rich or poor, who permits hn
children TO grow up in ignorance in the pre-
sent age Of books, periodicals and newspa-
pers. He can have no plea to justify it.
Light and knowledge surround him, on all
sides, and they will enter and take up their
abode at his fireside, if he will only not close
the door in their faces. Thirty years ago,
books and newspapers, cost something worth
talking about-now they are within the
reach Of every man. A couple of barrels
of Corn will buy a years subscription TO a
newspaper, that will afford reading matter
for a week. Two hundred weight Of Pork
will pay for more books judiciously selected,
than a small family will read in six months
And yet how many do we find who make
their hundreds Of barrels of corn, and their
thousands of pounds of pork, who cant 'af.
ford to pay two Or thre dollars a year sor q
newspaper. Such men aught to be driven
out Of the pale Of humanity. They dis
grace the very name of MAN.
