HENRY CLAY.

Clay should be despatched on a mission to
Russia-that would effect "comprom sc" by
removing the necessity for it.
| The above remark is from the st. Louis Ar
gus, a leading Loco-foco paper, the mouth piece
of Mr.. Benton at home. There is in the recon-
incubation something which commcnds it to the
consideration of the Wings. We do not mean
thereby that Mr. Clay shouu be sent to Russia,
that lumber garnet Of Loco-ocosm that place
where the winkcd cause from troubling an ann
bilious administration. But we mean that what
is uttered by the nun of 1t. Louis should be re-
gardcd by Wings well as Tories, not only as Il
mOniiion, but as rcmembrancer
| Men and parties and parties and ciqucs may
send Clay to Russia, they may Danish him to
Liberia but he is man VIII" will not "sity Sent''
he is Il citizen who cannot remain bunished.
Demetrius 1--WE think it was) found himself
banishcd from Athens, to which city he had donc
glorious service. He received the im,n4ti,n Of
his Russian mission with the reply that he should
return when Athens needed him. He was not
long banishcd man. This by way of montion
Ndy IDS pcc uScu IOT compromise, nut ul 'uStu
up"-whenever it is thought that the convcn-
fence ola party need, his Punishment, he is sent
away; whenever the necessities of the country re-
quircs his service, he stands in the Senate cham
Der Of the nation with colossal grandeur, doing
the work OF thousands and Offering all TO the ma
ton. So much for the remembrance.
For the present, we may say that, in our opn-
ion, no party 1--WE do not speak of cliqucs) no
party desires to see Henry Clay placed beyond
the possibility Of immediate, direct, prompt III
tlucncc upon public measures, The Wings need
his services to develop, defend and establish the
measures which spr any from their principles
The other side, by whatever name they may be
called, feel safe when Henry Clay is present; they
know that when, by chance, they succeeded in
their efforts, Henry Clay can be appealed to with
confidence to stag the mischief which they have
brought about, and to heal the breaches which
threaten the capitol. lie is Curtus to fill the
yawnng gulf; he is Fabils to guide with pru-
dencc when rashncss would be ruin; and he can
follow the advice Of the soothsaycr to strike
boldly when hcsitancy would be destruction.
And they wish to send such man to Russia.
What would be left for him to save by compro-
mise when he returned
The country has need of Henry Clay at Wash
ington, and when he is not there, he must not be
sought for beyond the confines of Ashland. :

recommend to their consideration such
measures as i shall judge necessary and
expediens.' And / most respectfully
submit ina spirit of harmony, whether
the present differences Of opinion should
be pressed further at this time, and wheth-
er the popularity of my situation does
not entitle me to a postponement Of this
subject to more suspicious period for de-
Liberation.
The two Houses of Congress have dis
linsuishcd themselves at this extraordin-
AIRY session, by the performance of an inn
mense mass of labor at a season very I'M
favorable both to health and action
aud have passed many laws which
trust will prove highly beneficial to
the interest of the country, and
fully answer its just expectations. II
has been my good fortune and pleasure to
concur with them in all measures, except
this, and why should our differences on
this alone be pushed to cxtremes2 1t is
my anxious desire that they should not
be.
!, too, have been burlened with extra
ordinary labours Of late, and sincerely
desire time for deep and deliberate rellec-
ton on this, the greatest difficulty Of my
administration. May we not now pause
until a more favorable time, when, with
the most anxious hope that the Executive
and Congress may cordially unite, some
measure OF finance may be adopted, pro-
motive of the good of our common coun-
try.
Twill take this occasion to declare, that
the conclusion to which | have brought
myself are those of settled conviction
founded in my opinion, on a ust view Of
the Constitution, that, in arriving at it,
have been actuated by no other motive OF
desire than to uphold the institutions Of
the country as they have come down to
us from the hands of our god-like anccs-
tors; ant tina. shall esteem my efforts to
sustain them, even though perish, more
honorable than to win the applause of mer
by sacrifice of my duty aud my con-
science.

When the atoms of life arc un(url'd.
For my love is cast in the sunshine bright
Where JOY has her reign and hope has

The smiles of contentment and ease.
I'd gather around in hours so bright
The flowers deep tinctured and gay;
But I'd turn from the world, its cares

To rove in the paths of life's sunny

They might glitter awhile, in the sun

But all! how evancscent their sway az

THIS MACHINE AGAINST THE
WORLD.
IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
AVENPORT'S Improved Patent Threshing
ia y Machine and Horse Power, which threshes
and cleans at the same tme-an invention for
which Farmers have long looked in vain, and which
readers the above machine perfect and past further
improvement Those who have been waiting for
something better than heretofore offered for sale,
will find this TO he the article. Come see it and
judge for yourselves.
The subscribers have purchased the right of the
above Machine and Horse Power, for the coun-
tics of NORTHUMBERLAND, LYcoMING, CLINTON,
and UNIoN--and also, the privileges of vending
them in any other places Tor which the right has
not been previously sold.
The advantages which this Machine has over
all others invented sre many and obvious. One
boy and three men can do all the threshing and
cleaning OF $50 bushels of wheat in one day-and
this usually takes seven hands one day and three
the next. For field threshing it takes the lead of
any thing in this world-no grain is scattered or
lost.
Such is the superiority Of the Horse Power,
that three horses can thresh as much with it as
four can with any other.
The Machines and Horse Power will he sold
together sepera,e, TO suit purchasers, Made and
sold in Milton, by the subscribers.

EECO.U.NE.N'D.gTTO
THRESHING & WINNOWING MACHINE.
Having had in use, one Of Davenpor,'s Patent
Threshing and Winnowing Machines, and being
repeatedly called upon for our opinion in regard to
their value, durability and advantages, we make,
free to state that they exceed in opinion, any
Threshng Machine we ever before witnessed in
use. They will thresh and clean, fit for market
200 bushels of Wheat per day. and this with the
aid of three hands besides The driver. The Straw
passed off from the grain an incline plane, eI-
tending about i2 feet from the Machine. Scarce
ly grain is lost. What is Of some importance
and greatly so, is the fact that dust passes from
the Machine to the man who feeds it. The Horse
power seems to be perfection itsef--three horses
may work it with ease and their fastest gait need
only be .he ordinary plough gait. We must
cheerfully recommend the Machine 10 Farmers
they are manufactured in Milton by Messrs. Welch
Pomp and Frick. PHILIP HILGERT.
