For several years the bees have deposited their honey

Georgia. The Rector, Rev Mr.. WALKgR, has regularly
the honey and sent the proceeds TO the Missionary Funds
There lies, far m the bosom of the seas,
An Island fair;
All summer long the patient little bees
Are busy there.
The honey which they gather in their round,
BuZzing from flower to flower,
They hoard 1t in quaint beehive they we found
In tho old church-tower.
Their store is taken every year. do
The bees complain;
They know that GoD will send, Spring. new

The produce Of their careful gatherings goes
To men In lands alb oad,
Who preach glad tdings of great joy to those
Who know Con.

The hungry waste,
How was he quickeneJ yhon an hotey-comb

SO to those weary laborers lone shores
This humble hive supplies
The luscious droppings Of its annual stores
To light their fyes.
Poor Christian e'enIn such small folk as these,

Doth Con take such good care for tiny bees,
Yet for thee?
Then say not, Lttle-fa thou hast no power

All round thee bloom the flowers, and every fower
Is filed with dew.

MIR. CLAY.

The great Statesman ofthe West was
still at New Orleans at the last dates, aud
the hospIlalllies Of the citizens continued
TO be showered upon him.
Al noon, on the Cd instant, according
to invitation, almost all the masters Of the
vessels then in New Orleans, met Mr.
CLAY at the rooms of the Chamber Of
Commerce, at the Merchants Exchange.
Nearly every vessel in post was repre-
scented, and in the language Of the Tropir,
il wns Curious sight to see the Scared
and wenther.h"aten sons Of the ocean
from every portion Of the United Stntr>
paying such tribute 10 one Of their nlosl
gallant coun,rymen. As soon as the usu
al compliments, and ntroiuetjnns @rt.
over, the following appropriate al lress
op behalf Of the meetiup, was delivered
by the venerable Captain Rice, 1.-THE ship
Arabella:
SrR:-l cannot do justice 70 NY own
feelings, much less those Of my friends
present, IN expressing our happiness 10
meeting you on your visit to this city, and
also the sentiments Of deep obligation and
esteem we ntertaln for your eminent and
patriotic services during a large portion
of your life. And permit us, Sir, most
warmly 10 greet you as our friend and
fellow citizen, and the firm, faithful and
unwaverng friend of our country. We
rejoice ia the kind Providence which has
been with you in your past life, and may
the blessing of Heaven rest upon your
future years, and long may you live to be
a bright and shining light in your native
Republic.
Mr.. CLAY responded briefly SAID he
had been much in Europe, as well as hls
own country, and that wherever he had
met an American seaman, he had al.
ways been proud to take him bv the hand,
and that the name Of an American sea-
captain was u pssspor, all over the world.
He made some very happy illusions. and
paid the highest compliments to the Amer
lean seamen generally. The meeting
broke up with the greatf st cotdIaIny Of
feeling on the part ofevery one conne cited
with it and it rs another proof of the high
estimation in which HARRY OF THE
WEST" is held in the hearts OF all classes
of his countrymen.
The number OF the sons Of Neptune
present, could not have been much short
Of $50. The compliment was worthy OF
the eloquent defender OF "SaIlors' Rights
and honorable to the gallant tars who
paid it.
Mr.. CLAY had accepted an invitation to
visit Baton Rouge, and was TO attend the
Agricultural Fair, 10 be held at that place

Mr.. porT,s MOTION ron INQUIRY.

The reader will learn, from the ac-
count of Yesterdays proceedings 10 the
House or Representatives that Dir Bolts
presented to the House his charges n
ga,ust the President ofthe United States,
with his proposition for instituling an ii-
ouiry by committee Of tue House (sub-
stantialIy into the expediency Of prefer
ring. upon the grounds accompanying
his motion, Articles OF Impeachment a.
gains. the President Of the United States /;
and that the House, without debate. de-
cded against the proposition Of Mr.. Bolts
by decisive vote.
IN taking the sense Of the House upon
this question, Mr.. Bolts hns acted in per-
feet consistency with hls public pledges,
and, in doing so, has done no more Than
his duty. In determining upon the pro-
posed inquiry, the majority Of the House
were doubtless influenced by various, and,
10 some extent, conflicting opinions.
The vote upon the question was by no
means a party vote. Ii was voted a.
galnst by those few who approve The con-
duet Of the Pfesiden, 10 all particulars I:
by some who are Of opinion that there
exists just ground for Impeachment Of the
President, but that for several reasons,
II is not expedient now 10 institute such
a proceeding; ond by larger number
Who are satisfied that no sufficient ground
exists for even inquiring into the exped.-
ency of the measure. And OF those Of
both parties who voted in favor Of the in
curry, il is known that part did SO on
the ground that il was due to the mover
and his motion, If not matter of course,
that. as charges were made, and inquiry
into them challenged, the enquiry ought
to be granted.
Upon the whole, since the question was
to be agltBIed, and was not II be receIy-
ed with favor BY the House, we consider
ii subject OF congratula'lon that II has
been AZ promptly disposed Of, without 40
excited debate, and, as far as we are in
formed, without producing any excited
feeling. Nat. Int. Jan. Ii.

THE OREGON.

TIE Portsmouth (va.) Wing says that it ls Iu-
mored that the vessels uf war fitting out nj that
port, are TO take out emgrants for the purpose OF
settling the Territory Of Oregon. The reader may
be aware that negotiations are in progress between
our government and England upon the subject OF
the Oregon territory. and that the British hsve
been using every within their power to
strengthen their claim to Jurisdiction over that re-
eon, by establishing forts and even by appointing
magistrates and other civil officers, and locating
them in the Territory. In course of time we sup
pose the Oregon, though justly ours, beyond the
shadow Of doubt, will become disputed ground
and will prubably cause another special mission to
be drruied, in urier to it's settlement. The send
ing Of he vessel. Of war looks if our government
had at last begun open its eyes to the rights oil

THE HON. JOHN P. KENNEDY'S LETTER.
Mr.. EDITOR I'll very much pleased 10 OBJ
serve in the Gazette of last week, your notice Of
the Hon. JoHN p. kENNEDY's letter his con-
stituents on the value and principles of the pro-
tectye system" Your correspondent has leng
been a close observer of Mr. Kennedy's political
course and considers him in his humble jud gment,
one of the soundest and abest statesmen in Con-
gress. Any who has observed his course in
Congress, will bear me out in saying that il has
been one of usefulness, honor, and distineiion.-
Unlike many who bear the name of Representa-
tives in Congress, he does not to consider it
necessary, in order gain notorety, that he should
be minghng 10 every little parry squabble occurring
on the floor of the House, and devo,ing hours TO
personal abuse and slang whangng. Vie speaks but
seldom, but when he does, It IS upon some leading
measure Of the day, and to the discussion Of which
he brings experienced and ripened intellect, and
the fruits Of patient and laborious research.
"The value and pr inciples Of the protective sys-
tenn" has always been lavori,e measure with
him, and / doubt it there be single statesman
in the county, better qualified to inpart instruc'
ton and information TO the people, upon the sub
ject, than be. The protective system concerns us
all. il not what be party names, and II
is high time now ,bat we lay aside the folly of par
tizanship, and open our minds and heats to the
causes OF the distresses of our common country,
and The hest and most speedy means Of relief All
parties admit the distress Of the country, in fact
none can deny il the general ruin is every where
stamped upon the Jroad face of the land PrOv.
