TAYLOR,
bookseller, Washington City.
From Chancellor Kent 50 The American Dicton-
airy Of the English Language is a work of profound
investigation and does Infinite honor TO the pholo-
gcal learning aud general literature Of this country
Happy the man who can thus honorably identify his
name with the existence Of our vernacular tongue.
There is no other way in which mortal man could
more 'dectually secure Immortality beneath the
skies Obelisks, arches, and trumphal monuments,
seem to be as transient the bubble of military
putation. No work of art can Withstand the inces-
SAINT strokes Of time. The uhrivacd Parthenon,,
glowing in polished marble, and which, for more
thai two thousand years, continued from the summit
OF the citadel Of Athens to cast its broad spendors
across the plains below, and along the coasts and
headands of At,ca, is now crumbling to ruins after
being despoiled of its most exquisite materials by
savage war and heartless man"
" This dictionary, and the language which it en-
bodies, iriN also perish; but il will not be with the
gorgeous palaces 1t will 60 with the solemn temples
and the great globe iisef" ap22

Whtua, Go Homeg

There are many Wings in this city who have
barely time to reach home bef1re the day Of Elec-
ton. We entreat them to start without delay. Be
sure that youeave leeway for missing one train or
boat on the way, or you may very possibly lose
your vote. The Western train down on Mon
day was detained by e heavy snow storm through
Western and Central New-York, which delayed
the Mail and Passengers day. We heard yes
terday Of four Wing Farmers who were on 'heif
way to Virginia to buy lands, thinking, because
they lived in Washington County, which is near
ly all Wing, tina. their votes were OF no conse-
ouence If the Tariff IS broken down and Tex
as forced upon US, it will be by just such un'
faithful, snpatriotic men as these. a Nations
WOES shall rest heavily on their souls.

The Interior.

Within the last two days we have received ie'-
ters or seen intelligent friends from every Senate
District, and most of the principal Counties oil
the State. From ORANGE, SULLIVAN, GREENE,
ALBANY, RENSSELAER,, CLINTON, MONTGOMERY,
HERKIMER, SUFFOLK, ONEIDA, CHENANeo, ONoN-
pAaA, OswEGo and ERIE, we have specific ac-
counts that the Wings are doing all that upright
men can do, and with cheering prospects Of sue
cess. Chenango has been backward, but is row
fully aroused. ToMrKlNs, CAYuoA and CORTLAND,
will poll their every Wig vote, and with conf
dent hopes of success in each. If NEw-YoEk
CrrY but does what she may do-what nothing
but the foulest practices can prevent her doing
The State must be safe.
Wings everywhere we entreat you to leave
nothing undone in the few days now left US !.
Look not abroad, but work at home. Each Of
you knows some reluctant, hesiteting opponent,
who may yet be transformed into friend-sorne
doubling, Indifferent neutral, who might be in
duced to vote for the Tariff and against the Texas
plot to strengthen and perpetuate Slavery. Think
if there be not such man within the circle of
your acquaintance, and if there is, without delay
see him, urge him, entreat him to vote for the
Country's cause. o fail not to act this instant,
lest fearful calamity shall rest on you and yours
for ever
Friends hours are swiftly feeting. ACT
To-Day.

Clay and direct Taxation.

Many years ago, when the Protective Policy
was in its infancy, and HENRY CLAY was, as he
now is, its eminent Champion, it was standing
argument with its opponents that it must newt
ably destroy or greatly diminish our Revenue
from Imports and create necessity for Direct
Taxation TO support the Government. We re-
member Boston Federalist settled in Vermont
(thc Boston merchants and capitalists were then
the chief advocates of Free Trade) who declared
in 1872 that he would sell out all his Real Estate
and move back to Boston if a Protective Tariff
were adopted, as he would not stand Direct
Tax on his large unpgoductve estate.
Now Mr.. Clay in defending Protection, was
compelled to breast this panic, and he met it, as
he docs all things, frankly. He said in substance
eff the Protection Of our own Industry should
involve necessity for Direct Taxation, am
ready for it. Better pay taxes TO our own Gov
eminent than tribute to those OF Foreign Ma
tons, and remain dependent on Europe for the
.commonest necessares Of life. Give us Direct
'Taxation rather than a pernicious dependence
on the workshops of Europe" This passage
has been wrested from It's context by some un-
principled partisan, and is now going the ROUNDS
of the Loco-Foco journals as proof that Henry
Claq is in fauor Of Direct Tazation' These de-
ceivers treat the People as if they were cattle.
