TIE o. S. Senate.-The Boston Courier
saws it is now understood that Mr.. Webster
will take Mr.. Choate's place in the Senate,
and the same paper suggests that Mr.. Clay,
who is not older than MIR. Adams was when
he went into the House, an Mr.. Van Buren,,
should also be restored to the Senate. The
Wilmington Gazette also says, that the Hon.
John hi. Clayton will be sent to the next Sem
ate in place Of the Hen. r. H.. Bayard. The
Pennsy lvania Inquirer INDUCES hope that
Mr.. Clay also may again be induced to be-
come one of the leading minds and brilliant
ornaments of that truly dignifed body.

of God will bring a woe upon his soul. Let
him repent, then, while there is yet space
for repentance and call upon forgiving
God while there is yet "a day of salvation.-
Let every man look with careful, trembling
circumspection into the tendencies of that in
fuence by which he is contributing to mould
the character and destiny of those around him.
1t was fearful thing to encounter, in the
final day, the record Of an influence that has
counteracted the mercy of God. 1t will be a
fearful thing, in that day to encounter the up
braiding gaze ofsouls whom the light of eter-
nifty has Weakened toknow, too late, the in
fuences that blinded their minds, and harden
ed their hearts, and scared their consciences
and led them to their ruin. Let every man
whose conscience stirs at the thought of such
an encounter, bow in repentance at Gods
mercy-seat, and thus commit herself, with
trembling yet confding hope, to the power of
Chrst's atonement.

DEATH OF TUTOR DWIGHT.

Shortly after the decease Of the late Mr..
Dwight, Tutor in Yale College, the Rev. DIR.
BACON preached Sermon to his congrega-
ton from the text-'Woe to the world be-
cause of offenses for it must needs be that
Offenses come; but woe to that man by whom
the oflense cometh, i'm which he made some
illusions, to the event which it was supposed
caused his death. At the solicitation of the
Washington Temperance Society, the Ser
mon was repeated, with some additional
thoughts. 1t has now been published in the
New Haven Courier. The great lesson of
the text, which DR.. d. endeavored to incul-
cate. was 'the responsibility of men for each
others character before Cod We quote
from the discourse.
There is an illustration of this lesson in a
painful event which has recently agitated this
community. | feel constrained TO employ
that illustration, for the sake of the vividness
with which by Gods blessing, it NAV bring
the lesson home to some whose consciences
have never yet been distinctly sensible of its
power.
A young man Of one of our own families
IA young man, the brightness of whose
promise in respect TO talent and learning and
virtue, was equal to the venerableness of the
name which he inherited-a young man who
had just entered upon an honorable and re-
sponsible ofice-was struck while in the dis
charge of an official duty-was struck once,
twice, thrice, with a deadly weapon, and has
since been carried to his grave. Public JUS
tice, reused at last by the death of the sufferer
seizes on the unhappy boy whose hand is
supposed to have held that deadly weapon.
and whose frenzied purpose is supposed to
have impelled it. OF his crime-what name
should be given to it-what penalties ought it
TO bring upon the offender, that society may
be guarded against the repetition of such acts,
have nothing to say. All that is to be ar
gued and decided according to the law, and
as the facts may appear in evidence before
the constituted tribunal Of public Justice
All those questions let public justice decide
as well as it can in its own high and calm
sanctuary, uninvaded by the breath of popu-
lar excitement. Here is the scope and ut
most reach of human jurisprudence. This is
its province.
But Gods justice does not stop here. Nei-
Their his law, nor his administration of his
law, is bounded by such limitations Christ
says, Woe to that man by whom the offense
cometh.' By whom then came that offense!
Who were partakers beforehand in that sin
Whose responsible agency went before, in the
series of moral causes leading to that fren-
zied volition which drove the cold steel into
the living feshi When God maketh inqui-

affairs righted in the practice Of his profess
ion. No man has sacrificed more for his own
country in a pecuniary point of view than Mr.
Clay. As no lawyer ever had better chances,
he might have acquired one of the largest
fortunes in the Union. if instead of devotiug
his life to the public he had spent it in his
profession. Mr.. Clay is frugal in his habits,
though not parsimonious. "Here is hun
bred dollars" said Mr.. Clay to a young man
banding it to him, when he came to consult
him for fine recovery of an estate that belong
ed to him by rightful inheritance Take
this" said Mr.. Clay. aud when you want
more call on me-" This is a fair specimen
Of the man. Notwithstanding his liberality,
Mr.. Clay has saved comfortable and unem-
barrassed estate.
we can add our testimony to the fact, sta
ted in reference to the young man who con-
suited him upon his suit for an estate. 1t was
communicated to US about two years since
by the gentleman himself. Contrast Il is with
the conduct CT Mr.. Van Buren, in case
which had some claims on him. A poor
widow, with her child, whose husband died
while on business in this city during Mr.. Van
Buren's Presidency, called upon him and
stated that her husband was an old constit-
uent Of his, and had suddenly died here, and
asked means to get back to her frends.-

THE GREAT WING GATHERING AT
THE TABERNACLE

The Tabernacle last n; ght was crow ded o
its utmost capacity, withrhe gallant enthusi-
astic friends Of the eminent patriot and States
man Henry Clay, Of Kentucky. Since the
memorable visit of the Wing members of
Congress at the same place, SO great an as
semblage has never been gathered within tho
walls of any building, and the heartfelt enthu-
siasm which peryaded and animated the vast
crowd. as though all were actuated by one I'M
pulse, gave glorious presage Of the spirit with
The great contest will be entered into and car
ried on by those who look to Henry Clay as
the only man who can rescue the country
from the grasp Of those, whose motifs rule

The Clay Clubs from severalSi the wards,
for whom seats had been reserved, entered
the hall with banners flying and music playing,
amid the huzzas of the crowd, and the waving
of bandkerchiefs from the ladies who filled
the galleries.
Mr.. Lawrence then introduced DIR. ID. +.

close of the Grafton had subsidized, MIR. Bell

An effort was made to adjourn, but the true
Clay Wing spirit was fully aroused, and the
assemblage would not be dismissed. Calls
were made for many ofthe popular speakers.
and finally Joseph Hoxie, Esq. appeared and
was greeted with many hearty cheers lie
kept his audience in admirable humor With
some brief remarks in which he all .tc.ed tn

POLITICS IN DELAWARE.
WILMINGTON, Feb, q,

" GU IL lO17s
DEAR SIR-Loco Focoism in Delaware
is no more. We hardly know whether TO
laugh or cry--laugh al the immense vote
which we shall, without exertion give Hen
~ Clay-or cry at he loss of the sport we
anticipated during the comPaign. The
State Convention which met at Dover on
the 22d, blew up wiIhou; making any
nominations or appointing any Delegates
TO the Baltimore Loco Convention, there
by virtually surrounding the course, for US
to wax orer. They did not refuse 10 60 ill.,
TO Van Buren's Convention on account of
their preference for Calhoun. The mass
Of the party are in favor Of G'n. Cass,
and instructed their Delegates (many OF
them Van Buren, ofice-seekers) 10 send
Cass Delegates; consequently they could
not please themselves their constituents
both, and determined 10 do nothing. This
has caused large number of the honest
portion Of the party to come out for Clay.
One of their leading men, who was run on
their Delegate ticket, has come over and
rendered 10 the Clay Club the large Amer
lean Eagle owned by him, which has here
tofore been perched upon he standard OF
Loco-Focoism.-Cor. Phil Forum.

Loco Foco MUMMERIEs.-There is
fun in the Wings singing and real wit in
the same old coon.' But the Loco Focos
are ridiculous whenever they undertake
any of The kind, and cruel as they are ridl-
culous' At Chesteriown, md on the
10th inst, when it was supposed that the
Loco Focos had elected Mr. Constable 10
Congress. they performed one oftheir aug
unies. The Ceutreville Times says:
All the coon skins in that rigion were
bought up, as well as poor living coon.
The Loco Focos, after lighting their fires,
began their incantations and seemed great
ly endowed with magical skill.
They erected scaffolds on which they hung
The emblems Of their failed foes-they mar
ched around them-hurraed- shouted
counter marched-loaded their pieces, and
ball after ball passed through the living as
well as the dead coons.
And it is thus by iorturing poor dumb
animal that these enlightened Loco Focos
expect TO establish their reputation for or.
der and decency!

DESTRUCTION OF A DWELL
HOUSE-AWFUL DEATH OFAFA-
TIER AND TWO CHI DRFN.

Mr.. GhciH:--T'he following particulars
connect with the shocking death Of 7. Lu-
Glen Spencer, Of Bethany, and two OF his
children, the facts of which melancholy &C
eurence learned to-day on the spot will DO
read with painful interest.
A few minutes after midnight last night,
some Of the family discovered the house to Lc
on fire. At this time the kitchen was nearly
consumed, aud Dr.. Spencer aud his wife had
barely time to escape, not being even able To-
save particle Of clothing exceptsHch as WIS
on them. Mrs. s. seized the two youngest
children and brought them from the Turning
house. The Doctor, however, appeared 10
lose all presence Of mind from the very mo-
ment when he discovered the fire, ard even
rushed 80 near the flames and stood there that
the little clothing which he had on actually
took FIRE. His wife drew him away, and en-
deavOred TO recall him 10 I sense Of their
situation, when he commenced throwing snow
upon the fire. About this time, a girl who
lived in the family (and who expected that all
the members of the family were out of the
house) heard the children screaming 40 dear.'
She exclaimed the children will lie burned
to DEATH" whereupou Mrs. 5. (whu bad been
so much concerned ut the frantic and excited
condition Of her husband that she appeared
to have forgotten every thing else,) rushed in
to the house TO save her other two children.
But the attempt was uuayailing rs the muse
was then all wrapt in flames.
She returned and told her husband thEt
they were doubtless dead before that time,
(Which was unquestionably the faei,) but be-
fore she was aware Of it he had escaped from
hersight. At first she supposed that he had
started of down the street in his frenzy. ard
even for some minutes she was net informed
to the contrary. Bat he had been seen to
rush into the house by young man who was
near. Tn fifteen minutes after he entered the
roof fell in, and was entirely consumed
Nothing was saved, as some time occurred
before the neighbors rallied, and water WAS
obtained with difficulty.
A portion Of the remains Of DR.. S. and
one Of the children have been dug ont of the
burning ruins. The author of this article saw
these remains this afternoon. There is moth
ing Of each except ihe trunk, the head and
limbs being wholly consumed. No vestage
of the other child had then been discovered.
The children which persisted in the flames
were of the age Of 10 and years respective
~. The two that were saved were younger
DIR. Spencer was native Of Naugatuck, at
which place he has resided since he gradual
cd at Yale college, uatil within two years.
He was in comfortable circumstances, aged
about 10 years and for some years had been
celebrated as Que of the most skilliul physic-
