THE FATHER LAND:

IHE fhl1EN LAM.
BYc. d. STUART.
Where the icy hills eternal
Far amid the cIoudsd skies,
Like the delnon-gods internal,
In their majesty arise;
Cold and stormy rs they stand,
There is not the Father-Land!
Nay! nor where the mountain lowly
Bearrth nlist upon its head,
Where the hermit cli,nbeth slowly
To his snowy pennnce bed;
Crowned with pine by natures hand,
There is not the Fathcr.Land.
Not where out the valley spreadeth,
River veins upon its brenst;
Where the blossom angel treadeth,
Aud the soil with hawers is blest;
Though the golden fields are grand,
There is not the Father-Land.
Nay! nor in the arbour, swinging
With thousand blushlns vines,
Where the voice of mnsic singing,
Rises from as many shrines;
Though our kin together band,
There is not the Father-Land
Storms are on the icy mountains,
Death is in the mist and cloud,
Poison taints the valley fountains,
Poison weay the blossom shroud;
Ill has touched ,.n. "A with her wTd,
There is moi the Fdther.Land.
Nay! above. where skies are cloudless,
Where the air are soft aud warm,
And the golden blossom shroudless,
Waves unsmi,'en by the storm;
There, by fragrant zePhyrs famed,
Is our only Fatber.Land!
These. when earth has done its battle,
Drop'l the sword of sin and strife;
When the headless arrows rattle
On the polished helm of life;
Pilgrims, we, upon the strand,
Shall behold our Father.Land.
All restored unto orr Father, .,.....
From The valleys and the waves,
Shall we to the home stead gather
From Our dlmiy lighted graves;
Joined together, hand in hand,
Hail and bless our Fat!ier-Luud

Henry Clay.

The brilliant prospects Of this erea, states
man, and the almost moral certainty Of his cleo
ton 10 the Presidency next fall. has alarmed
some Of our politicians, who can see nothing bu,
defeat and ruin 10 their hopes, in 'hs event Of
his success. Hence their unceaslng opposi-
ton 10, and viluperaion of, the nsn. They
know that in years gone by. when Gen. Jack
son was at the zenith Of his popularity, well
concoc'ed falsehood drew upon Nh Clay, the
Indignation Of u large mass Of his fellow-c -coun-
men. The cry of bargain aud sale" was rung
through the land, and so ofen repeated, that
for awhile il took possession Of The minds of
The people, and induced them 10 condsmn an
innocent man.
Blu, ",ruih is mighty and mus, prevail" The
eyes of the people were in time opened 10 The
true facts which attended the election Of Mr.
Adams, 10 the Presidency, by Congress, IN
1924. They then held MIR. Clay entirely
blameless OF every thing like unfairness in the
transaction, and have ever since regarded him
with greater favor and appreciation than before.
The success which attended the propagation
Of that falsehood, has induced band Of mer-
cenary and vile imilaloFs TO fabricale another,
with which they vainly hope TO blast his pres
enl prospects. II is nothing less than the
charge that he is a Murderer, hs being the prin-
cipal adviser in the Graves and CiIley duel.

than that OF rhs Goes County Democrat" and

men Of The United States will pronounce Hen

charges can have no other effect than To rally

must be disguised with such meanness.

choose 10 continue il. During his speech, the
Doctor called on MIR. GIDDINGs, of Ohio, TO say
whether during speech before his constI,-
uenis las; fail he read Letter from Mr. Clay in
favor Of the abolition Of Slavery? When Mr..
Giddngs obtained chance 10 reply, he stated
in substance tia, he did read such a letter, but
distinctly slated that i. was from CAssIUs NJ.
CLAY-Ihat ne asserted distinctly that lie be-
leved from The high character and undoubied
patriotism that HENRY CLAY, when called on,
would support the Constitutional rights Of the
North, as well as the South, and al The same
time gave ds,nc, notice that he was not au-
thorized by Henry Clay himself, or any friend
for him, 10 say thai he would so maintain the
Constitutional rigd,s Of The North, bu, that il,
was an inference Of his own, founded on his
knowledge Of Mr.. Clsy's character.

referred TO Judge Hail az British Judge. but
was corrected by Mr. BARNARD, Of New York,

fear. Mr.. Weller prophecicd that in after times
