MR.. CLAY AND THE NEW YORK
WINGS.

We publish to-day the correspondence
between Mr. Clay and the Wings of the
city of New York. We publish the cor
respondence for reasons of two-fold ma
ture: First-It contains the history, in part
of one of the most important civil events
which has transpired since the formation
of our government, and the schemes and
means adopted which were decisive of the
result. Second--It abounds with truth,
pure patriotism, and undated devotion to
Mr. Clay, and the hearty response it has
met, and will meet with, in the heart Of
every wing, shows that country and prin-
ciples are dearer TO them than success, and
must be the source of more qualification
to Mr.. Clay himself, than all the honors of
the Presidential Chair.
Well and truthfully, has contemporary
remarked, Henry Clay is not Presidents:
but he is something better; he is right in
the opinions of the mass of intelligent
Americans. Failing to elect him to the
chief magistracy, they could not rest con-
tent without some further testimony of
their respect and regard than their votes
afforded.
We have already recorded the fact that
by means of quiet subscription, raised in
the city of New York, Mr.. Clay was re-
leved of considerable embarrassment in
Cured through his generous aid extended
TO relative. We since learn that the
amount raised for Mr.. Clay is about
$4,000, of which about $4,000 have
been appropriated to the removal of all
membranes from his estate. Ashland
therefore stands free, and its noble owner
has besides moderate sum remaining from
the offerings of his friends. The testimo-
mails were alike unsought and unexpected
a tribute TO worth which the donors rejoiced
in their ability to make. May the venera-
ted object of the tribute live long TO know
that the thousands who profess friendship
for him feel it sincerely; true alike in tri-
umph or defeat to him, who through life
of long and arduous service, has been true
TO the honor and interests of the country.
Every wing, we know, will read the
address, and we would have every democrat
read it also. If read by the latter, in a
proper spirit, they will be enabled TO per-
ceive striking difference between the
actions Of the two parties. and perhaps
remove some of the prejudices they harbor
against the wings.

USEFUL WORKS.

We have received from the publishers a
copy of DR.. Lardner's Lectures on Science
and Art. These popular lectures were de-
livered by the Doctor at various places in
the United States, and were listened to by
large and intelligent audiences with pro,
found interest. They are now being pub.
ished in cheap mailable form by Greedy

to consist of not more than 10 nor less
than ID numbers, when completed, will be
one of the cheapest and most useful vol,

"Gov. Edwards returned to this city, from
Palmyra, on Monday last, whence he had gone
TO receive money under loan for the State, from
the Branch Bank at that place."
Jefferson Inquirer.
Here we see the beauties of locofoco
legislation. The Governor of the State is
travelling from point to point, begging at
the door of the Branches of the Bank TO
pay the interest on the debt Of the State,
created by his no-bank party. How is it
that the State is thus reduced to this ex-
tremity, asks one? Has she been engaged
in improving the water courses in different
parts of the State to facilitate the farmer
in conveying his produce to a market
where he can get good prices for it, and to
enable the merchant to convey his mer-
chandze into the interior at cheaper rate
of freightage, and thereby lessen the tax
paid by the consumer? Has she been en-.
gagged in constructing public highways for
the accommodation of her citzensl No
no-nolhing of this kind has been done.
Missouri is as she was twenty-five years
ago in reference to internal improvements.
Surely, then, your citizens are blessed with
light, or no taxes at all. Not so. The
citizens of Missouri are taxed higher than
they are in many other States. How, then,
can it be possible for her to be so behind
hand in her pecuniary affairs! Now this
is the very question we have been seeking
an answer to. The Democrat can't tell:
and right in the face of the reports of the
papers, in reference to the movements OF
the Governor to procure money to pay the
interest on the debt, that paper denies that
the State is in debt at all Where can we
get the information? Could Mr.. Speaker
Jackson enlighten usl We hope he will, or
permit his press to. We want to know how
the State got so deeply in debt-how the
democracy can reconcile it to themselves to
see their hard, hdrd-money Governor, beg
ging at the door of rotten, swindling
bank, for money-what the legislature die
to pay the debt off-and what provision il
made for the payment of the interest, after
this gear? We want light on these subjects
and will thankfully receive it from Mr.
Speaker, the Democrat, the Inquirer, Her
aid, or almost any source. Shall we be
grati6ed--not on our own account, but il
behalf of tax payers generally.

Sunday, but had not arrived on Tuesday
He is most probably in the city now, as he
was hourly expected. He comes on pri.

i PATRIoTIsM OF THE AMERICAN People
AND HER ADOPTED CITIzENs.-Since Mexi.
co has threatened war against this nation, il
is cheering to contemplate with what feel
ing Of enthusiastic generation the PEOPLE
seem to regard their country, and the de-
termined zeal which they manifest in flock
ing to its standard. sour COUNTRY, right
or wrong" is their motto, and this patriotic
sentiment causes the popular pulse to beat
in unison from the centre to the circumfer-
ence of the Union. True, while we are at
peace with other nations, there will be in.
testine disputes and conflicting opinions,
the inevitable result Of republican govern
ments where man is allowed the freedom
of opinion, and Of maintaining it at the
ballot box-yet, when a foreign power
seeks totramPle upon their rights, and to
tarnish the honor of the American name,
the spirit Of patriotism silences the voice
of party, and all rally with brave hearts
and stout arms TO the defence of their rights.
But it is not the natire Americans alone,
who volunteer their services, and offer to
fight the battles of our country. Since the
recent demonstrations of war on the part
OF Mexico, many companies of patriotic
adopted citizens have been formed, ready
to march to the defence of their coun-
try. Even, overlooking the efficient aid
our forelathers in their struggle for indie
pendence received from the same quarter,
is not this manifestation of their patriotism
and fealty to the home of their adoption,
to quell the unjust excitement that
The so called Native American party are
to create against them Should
not this cause them to ground the weapons
1f luminosity, and welcome them under the
rec Of liberty as friends and as brothers
Let them give to the winds then this mista-
zen spirit of philanthropy which has for its
fleet the persecution of the poor foreigner,
Who seeks protection from the rod of for
ign oppression, and let them bid him thrice
Welcome to the privileges and blessings of
his, our boasted land Of freedom and indie.

SECRETARY OF THE TREAsURY--RE-
pUcTIoN OF THE TARrTF.-The indefati.
gable Secretary Of the Treasury Depart
ment has propounded series of questions
TO manufacturers, embracing every impor-
liant matter relative to their business-and
requests an answer by the first of next
month. The reply to his interrogatories
afford much valuable information, and
give an opportunity to the people who COM
pose the laboring classes generally, to judge
Of the enormous difference between the
manufacturers and themselves in the reali.
cation of profits. The facts should be eli
cited and laid before the people-the cry
of "protection, protection to home indus
try" has too long been sounded in their
ears, with view to excite their sympathies,
and steal from their unconscious purses.
The time has now come, when truth must
be made known, when light must be shed
upon the subject, so that the people can
Judge whether or not the manufacturers
should be maintained at their expense,
should be objects of public charity, recipi-
ents of the iavors of government, and sup
ported by means of special legislation;
whether for their exclusive benefit, all other
classes should be oppressed-trade and
restricted, and the spirit of our
constitution itself Observation-Disclosures they
are poor and destitute calling aloud in the
revered name Of justice for aims; or wheih-
eT they are rich nabobs in their "pride Of
circumstance" rioting in all the splendor of
'oyalty and wealth. The people now de-
nand the facts-they have too long listen
I'd to the syren voices Of partizan orators
90 long heard and needed without invesli.
eating its justice, the cry of "protection to
home industry" And when those facts
IRE made known, great will be the wonder
md establishment of many who have hith-
rto been persuaded, and influenced to advc-
ate the miscalled American System"
Upon this question there should be none
more seriously concerned than the people
f Mississippi-they are already oppress-
d by heavy taxation-many of them were
'rced last season even to sacrifice valua. =
lie property to settle their taxes-and they u
an no longer pay tribute to the northern =
manufacturers, whose fortunes are already n
whose profits are enor- .
lous.
