so ofen made, that girls lose all taste for mu-

fectually silenced. We are not at all sur
prised that young lady accustomed to exc
cute on a good instrument at school, should
lose all relish for playing, when, on her ar
rival at home, she is required to give evil
dence of her improvement and abilities by
being conducted to a square box, filled with
iron wire and pewter bells. There is some
thing in the appearance and tone Of Piano
which will rivet the attention. elicit execu-

that desirable accomplishment, for which so
much time and money are frequently spent

For the Gazette.

Mr. Editor:
The last "Guard" has been shown me- in
which are two communications peculiarly
adapted to IFS columns. The one over the
signature of Review is bunging attempt
at wit. by the Joe Miller of the Bar, who
prefers relying for success in his cases upon
anecdotes, which he appropriates to himself
from every quarter, rather than the law,
which he has never read. The resemblance
between himself and his ovine acquaintance
which he has introduced in vulgar anec-
dote Ia the conc fusion of his communication,
occurred to me as so very striking that
shall never see the one without thinking of
the other. There is a musical ALTERATION,
too, in their names, which would almost
tempt one to weave them together in bal
lad; and if the writer had given US the an.
cient ballad 10 which lie has referred. !
would have attempted a parody in which
"R **~* and his ram" should both have
had showing, and divided the honors be-
tween them. | have always thought that
the writer of that article would in due time,
abandon his ridiculous aspiration after office
and distinction, and come down to things
more upon, level with his merits and his
understanding, and find that | was not mis-
taken. "God gIveth short horns to the mis-
chievous OK" He will do less harm as the
writer of vulgar squibs Tor an obscure village
newspaper. than he might have done in 9TH
er stations which he dill MT reach; & | con-
graduate him upon having at last found an
employment which will compel tardy and
ungra:eful public to appreciate his talents
and his taste. =.

HENRY CLAY A FEDERALIsTI

From certain demonstrations not TO be
mistaken, the democracy (par excellence
relying upon the ignorance and gullibllity
ofthe people. which has more than once a.
vailed them, or acting upon one of their Je'
suiticaI principles. that "a lie well stuck to,
is as good as the TRUTH intend to proclaim
far and wide, in this Presidential canvass,
the unjust and unfounded slandcr that heads
this article. We are aware that they are
necessarily compelled 10 resort for safety, to
the aid of two potent and almost irresistible
words democracy and Federalism unjust
ly usurping the one to themselves. and, il
possible, more iniquitiously endeavoring to
fasten the other upon their opponents; but,
we are not disposed au-nn me pea
of necessity to justify so presumphous a
claim, and so wicked falsehood Let the
honest people Of the country, have light on
the subject Light, light, is all the cause of
truth demands, to make itself manifest, and
dispel The darkness which would exclude it.
We call upon whig editors throughout the
country to meet the charge as it deserves,
and put its trumpelers to the blush. We de-
fy those who make it to give us the evidence
and the facts upon which it is based. We
challenge them to draw the parallel be-
tween the principles of Mr.. Clay and those
of the Federalists who opposed MIR. Jefer-
sons administration. Let the test of federal
ism be correctly laid down, according to his
tory. and we will cheerfully consent to be
tried by that test, and to be weighed in the
balances with them, to see which is found
wanting.
MIR. Clay a federalist when, where,
how was he a federalist2 Let us look in
10 his history little and see what ground
this charge has to rest upon. The son ofa
poor Baptist preacher, he was left an or
phan at the age of four years, with six broth
ers and sisters to be brought up by mother
scarcely possessed of the means of scanty
subsistence, and Ike all other poor bows he
was compelled to work for his living.
With the exception of learning to read and

knowledge he ever acquired He was pla-
ced IN a retail store, afterwards in Clerks
Office, and at length studied law Splendid

1t is to this experience of poverty, that we
might trace in great measure, the sympa-
thy for the poor of all classes which has
ever distinguished his subsequent life at one
time showing itself in his efforts in behalf
of the American mechanic and laborer in
every department, afiording him fair remu-
nera.ion for his labor. and protecting it from
the ruinous competition Of strangers. AT
another time in behalf of suffering seamen
incarcerated into British men of war, whose
sufferings he painted in all their colors in
the glowing eloquence of his speeches.
when he reused his countrymen to war a
