LIFE AND SPEECHES OF HENRY CLAY.-We call
the attention Of our friends to the notice Of the
publishers Of the New FORK Tribune, in another
column, in which they propose to furnish Clubs
with this valuable work, on the most reasonable
terms. We would be pleased if every man in
the country could be induced to read Mr.. Clay's
speeches, for they embody the true principles of
the Government" and contain an accurate his
tory Of political affairs for period of more than
thirty years. Every american ought to read
them; they breathe genuine spirit of Patriot
ism; they furnish model of Elocution for Anne
rlcan Statesmen; and are pregnant with the pr!n-
ciples of civil and religious liberty.
Who is not proud Of Henry Clay His fame
belongs not TO America alone, but to the whole
world: and his name will be ranked by future
generations, with the noblest orators of Greece
and Rome. and with the ablest Statesmen of
modern Europe. He Is the American Orator. the
American Statesman, the American Patriot who
during the darkest periods of our history, since
the Revolution, has nobly defended our most
sacred interests, and stood as beacon light, in
the midst of the darkness, to guide our Govern
uent and people to the haven of safety.

SOUTH CARoLINA.-On the 7th inst the House
of Representatives of South Carolina adopted the
following additional clause to the Constitution,
which was then sent to the Senate for concurrence
'sThe General Assembly, except in cases of actual or
threatened INVASION, shall have authority

amount exceeding hundred thousand dollars unless bill

House of Representatives and three times in the senate and

On the following day preamble and resolu-
tons, respecting the annexation of Texas to the
United States, were introduced, in the House, by
Mr.. J. w. Walker. They contend that Texas,
having been embraced in the Territory Of Louis
lana, as coded by France in 1903, is now al
integral part of the United States! and that con-
the treaty, ccding said territory to
Spain, and signed at Washington on the 22d of
February, 1919, was null and void it being in
as well OF previous treaty, as of the
Constitution OF the United States, from which the
Federal Government derives no authority to cede
any part OF the Union or Of the people to any
foreign government whatever: they also contend
that the recognition Of theindependence of Texas
merely recognizes the fact that Mexico had no
longer any power de tacto to reduce Texas to her
sovereignty, without njuring, in any respect, her
previous rights; and farther, that to render full
indernniGcation to Mexico, ia case of the annex
alton OF Texas to the United States, it is the duty
of the latter power for the transfer of Spain under
the treaty OF 1919, without constitutional author
lty. The resolutions were referred to the Com
miltce on Federal Relations and ordered 10 be
printed.

Griffith.

An interesting Lecture was delivered last eve
ming at the rooms of the American Institute, by
J. w GRIFFITH, a practical, hard-working ship
wright, of this city, on Naval Architecture. Mr..
Griffith was an apprentice TO the late Henry Eek
ford and appears TO have been an apt and worthy
pupil OF that distinguished ship builder. lie sta
ted the results of experiments made on the SCI
ence in reference TO the combination of the great
est velocity combined with the largest burthen,
and left d strong impression on the minds of the
audience that he has successfully applied himself
to scientific course of investigation Of this i'm
portant matter. He explained with great minute
ness theproper lines ola vessels bottom, and sat
isfactorily showed that for the last fifteen years
we had not kept pace with this improving age,
imputlng large part OF the fault and difficulty
to our bud tonnage measurement. With respect
to our navy also, he stated that such failures as
our largest ship the Pennsylvania, our war
steamer Fulton and many others, are attrlbuta-
BILE to the circumstance that our Naval Secreta-
ries are political Secretaries, and suggested that
if there must be political Naval Secretaries In the
Cabinet, there oughtto be another one for practl-
calpurposes.
It's exceedingly gratifying to see our hardy
practical workingmen come to the roStrum and
lecture us into practical common sense. The
commerce of our country being of such vast I'M
portance, has deep interest in this business OF
good ships and Mr.. Griffith properly claimed
for the ship, thing of life, higher honor than is
due to the most splendid architecture of the land.
We trust the laudable design of the American In
stitute. in thus bringing forword the experienced
mechanics of our city, may contribute largely to
improvements in the various Branches the useful
and mechanic arts

FLIGHT OF TIME.

The following lines on the figh, of Time, arr
Ill of truth and poetic beauty -
Time speeds INDEPENDENTLY;
Another hour-anothcr day
Another month-anothcr year
Drop from MS like the leaflets scar;
Drop like the lifc-blood from cur hearts;
The rose bloom from the check departs
The trcsses from the temples fall,
The eyes grow dim and strange 10 all
Time speeds INDEPENDENTLY;
Like the torrents in stormy day,
He undcrmincs the stately tower,
Uproots the tree, and snaps the flower,
And sweeps from our distracted breast
The friends that loy'd, the friends tina, blessed,
And leaves us weeping the shore
To which they return no more.
Time speeds away--away-away;
No eagle through the skies Of day,
No wind along the hills can Zee,
So swiftly smooth as he,
Like fiery stecd-from stage TO stage
He bears us on--from youth TO age,
Then plungcs in the fearless sea
OF fathomess Eternity!

President Houston, in late speech at Calves

lore God, but tlat Texas wants peace. to be at

England has assured us that we have her friend
ly disposition and aid There is no condition
mentioned. Abolition, or any thing of the kind,
is wholly unknown to the archives of the Govern
ment. They have right to advise, if they
choose, and we TO reject. There is nothing COM
pulsory on their part England is in nowise ma
king claims asserting any thing as a right,
which is incompatible with the interests OF the

This contradicts explicitly the charge of col

Texas, on the subject Of the abolition Of slavery,
as the price Of British allance.-Nei Int.
