CLAY; it is just what we have supposed to be ever
since the publication of the letters of AMOS KENDALL,
during Gen. JAcKsoN's canvass for the Presidency,
and which should then have placed the seal of rep
rotation on the character of a man whose whole
soul, while pretending to the highest degree of pat
rolism is devoted, regardless of consequences, to
his own elevation, matter who is sacrificed, In
reaching the goal at which he aspres. Mr.. Clay, It
is said, will not reply to Mr.. BRENT's Gard, and we
think there s at least prudence in this course, tor
although he is excellent at 'explanaton" or
"compromise," there are features in this card,
which would seem to set all his powers in these mat
ters at defiance For neither of the parties TO this
controversy do We feel, at present. the slightest
sympathy, and care but little if they should make
Kilkenny Cat" affair of it. We regret, how
ever, that we have not room for the whole Gard,
which occupies considerable space in the Globe, as
it affords an interesting peep at the actors behind
tho curtains, and will no doubt, at some future day.
afford an amusing and instructive chapter to the
bographcr of tho great in,riguer.

The bnsi,ess of Congress is now progressing ra-

en,eaained of the defeat of the Bank bill IN inc

Senate have also passed general Bankrupt DILL
and it's stated that there is very little doubt but TIC
House viii also adopt it. This measure was not
originally in the programme Of the extra Session.
and we feared would be overlooked, but IN this we
r,;oce 10 find oarsolf mistaken. We shall look upon
/, tbc oassuqe of Bankrupt law as one OF the most
benefcal acts Of the Session. and IN fact the only

nle have expressed an opinion. The bill to arm and
Z eonp Home Squadron, which has passed the
House, is an excellent beginning 10 strengthen our
Nav which we hope will be followed up as our f.

The success which has attended Mr.. CLAWS et-

leaves us no ground to hope that any of the great

party have the power in their own hands, and they
seem determined to wcld it.

SORROWS OF OLD BACHELoRs.-We ne.
yer could, for The life Of US, perceive why
old maids shonld manifest such Il mortal
antpalhy to old bachelors. There is no
reason in their, wrath. 'Tis spile(ul, cruel
and uncalled for; the trampling on IA reed
already broken. Itis like fugging Grip
pie with his own crulches, because he is
lame. Few men are bachelors Of their
own free will Go to the veriesl misan-
thrope among them, and ask of him his
history, and he will tell you Of the unfor-
gotten hours Of his early affections; and
his eye will light up again with lis wpnled
energy, and as he relates the story of his
love for one who had proved faithless, or
whose affections were reprrssed by the
rude hand of arbitrary authority. who had
gone down to the churchyard-a beauIi-
full bud plucked from the tree of Being, to
open and expand in brighter and holier
sunshine, where no worm could guaw at
her bosom, and 40 blighling descend upon
it.
Talk not to us Of the SORROWS OF old
maids! They are light as air in compar-
ison To those Of bachclors-the Patter Of
the small rain 10 the overwhelming OF the
delugr. Old maids can commune together
and mingle in the charities and kindly

Shakcrism.-Mr Carter, a renouncing.
shaker, visited this place few weeks
since, and gave two or three lectures on
shakerisrr, and sung some twenty songs,
danced, exposed Miller's theory, and did
several other things for The amusement Of
his audience.
The Shakers creed is very curious
one. They believe in.on GoG, and 1.-Two
persons in the God heaL-maIe and female,
or Father and Molher-calied Power and
Wisdom.
They believe that Adam was the Father
Of the Old Creation and Eve was the Mo-
ther-both being created after the image
of God; and that Christ is the Father of
the New Creation and Ann Lee the Mo-
,her-and that the Millennium commenced
with The appearan,e of Ann Lee on earth.
! They believe ir the Immortality Of ami
mails, as well as Of men. They say that
, John saw horses IN the world Of spirits,
as recorded in Revelations. They believe
that all the ugly and vcnomous animals
on earth are symholcal Of the evil spirits
that inhabit the lower regions of the lnvi-
sible world, and that all the beautiful crea-
lures, such as birds with gorgeous plum
age arc symbolical Of the good spirits in
the mansions of bliss.
They believe that the souls Of shakers,
in their frances ard VISIONS, really visit
the heavenly world. The lancet has heen
applied to them, and their flesh has been
scarifed, while in this state, without
I producing particle Of blood. One per-
son who visited the land of spirits in a
, trance, saw King David travelling, and
Solomon OH IL snow-white horse; saw
Christ and all the Apostles.
