TRIP OF THE CECIL GREYSn TO
WILMINGTON.

On Monday last this military company
together with quite number Of the cili
2ens Of our town and vicinity, went on an
excursion TO Wilmington. We were along
as member of the " Groys,o who went
by invitation to visit the Wilmington
RIFLE CoErs, by whom we were rccciv-
cd in due military style, and escorted to
the Indian King Hotel, which was our
quarters for the day. From thence we
marched in company with the Rifles TO
meet the HIBERNIA GREENS, and LAFAY-
ETTE LIGHT GUARDS, two companies
from Philadelphia, who arrived at 10 o.
clock, in the Steamboat Balloon. The
four companies then marched through the
principal streets of the city, and to the ar
senal, where the Philadelphia Companies
quartered.
The Rifle Corps had caused sumptu-
Gus dinner to be prepared at the Indian
King FOR themselves, and the Greys, and
though the landlord, Mr.. Sharp, may not
have had an opportunity ofjudging Of our
proficiency in military drill, we presume
lie can attest that we were well drilled in
the use of the knife and fork; for our APP
Tctites being sharpcncd by the exercise Of
marching, the way we charged upon his
dinner, was caution to roast beef, fowls
and porkers.
The afternoon was spent in military
movements; and IN marching through the
streets, instead Of having oureycs directed
so as to strike the ground fifteen PAGES
ahead, as the book says, they were diIcc,
ted at the pretty faces that thronged the
windows as we passed. At six o'clock
we started in the cars for home, all hands
highly graiiod witt, the visit, and wei

HELM Eg u CLAY.

The New York American, referring to
the great Lexington barbecue, thus speaks
of the distinguished statesman in whose
honor il WAS given:
AT no time since the war, has Mr. Clay
in our judgment, stood so iavorably be-
fore the nation as now. Faithful and
fearless, when others were tnid or false
- dsregardlng obloquy and pursuing the
right wherever it led, and whatever per-
sonal Inconvenience, he stands before the
Wings of the United States as the man
who never despaired of their principles,
nor truckled to cXpediency. He could
not command success, but he has deserv-
cd it, and in retiring from the public coun-
ellis, when he could no longer hope to adj
vance great public measures, he has not
ceased to be the object Of atle and of
HOPE ia the true, great, and resolue,
though betrayed Wing party.

FACTS FOR TIE PEOPLE.

We transcribe from the columns Of the
United States Gazette, the following ar
title, which we hope may be read by every
wing and every Locoloco in the county.

ty years to the period Of Mr.. Adams adj

to 1929. We had then currency not
surpassed by any in the world; a Nation
al Bank whose bills were equal to gold
not only i'll every part of the United
States, but in London, Paris, South Amer
lea, China and the East Indies. She had
brought order out of chaos; had been the
means, by judicious management of
bringing the State banks TO the redemp-
ton of their notes with gold and silver,
and Of equalizing and reducing the cX-
changes of the country down to, from a
half to one per cent. between the most
distant commercial towns. She furnish
| cd her merchants and others with such
accommo dations and facilities of collect
ing their distant debts, that the wheels of
| business were kept in constant and rapid
motion; enterprise and industry were sti-
mulated and rewarded; labor was in cam
slant demand, and wages high Shaving
shops were unknown, and no one had un-
| current money TO SELL The days of Shin
plasters, uncurrent bills, non-specie pay
ing banks, and exchange brokers, were
by-gone, known only in memory, but
that memory sorely alive TO the multitude
of evils that once beset the country, SIM

the frogs and the locusts Of Egypt. But
Jeshuron waxcd fat and kcked.' The
wealth of the country rapidly increased;

THE APPoRTIONMENT QUESTION
SETTLED

The National lntellgencer of Saturday
says:
The Apportionment Bill has passed
both Houses of Congress, and now re-
quiroS only the appreciation and signature
of the President Of the U. States 10 be-
come law.
This result was brought about, earlier
than we anticipated, by the House of
Representatives recoding from its own first
opinion and from its first and second de-
cisionS against the Senate's amendment,
by which amendments the ratio Of a2por-
tionmcEt was propc sed to be enlarged,
the number of Members TO be diminished,
and the fraction IN each State over a mo-
icly OF the ratio to be entitled TO an addi-
llonal Representative on account of such
fraction.
"Ihe effect Of this decision is that the
House of Representatives instead of its
present number of two hundred and for
y-two Members, Will after the termina-
ton of the present Congress, consist of
'ar0 hundred an1 taccnty-three .NcMbe, S
only.
"I'he final decision by the House of
Representatives upon this question was
somewhat influenced, probability the al
lowance OF the additional Representative
for each fraction exceeding the moietv of
the number fixed upon as the ratio. Sir
States thus gain a Member.

"The last toast" says the Intelligent
Ger, twas prefaced by the President Of the
day with some happy and eloquent re-
marks. Mr. Clay rose in response, and
for more than two hours, unclaimed that
vast audience by the exercise of those
mighty powers of oratory with which he
is so emlnently gifted. With al case pc
culiar to himself he swayed the feelings OF
his auditory at will-at one time convul-
sed with laughter, again filled with in
digna;lon and anon the glhering tear be-
trayed the deep emotions of the heart
But il needs not that we should attempt
description of the eloquence of such
man-to say that Henry Clay spoke
