he 10 the agent OF the one, the enemy OF the

is the constant contriver Of the diminution
Of congressional, the increase Of presid@n-

it 10 lamentable to see how one disorderly
turbulent, impracticable member can dis
turb, degrade, and diminish the delibera.
ton Of an assembly, ninety hun.
dredths Of whose members deprecate dis.
order. The delays, expense, and OTHER
minor evils OF such sedition, are also ex.
tremely serious. Ever since Mr.. Adams
downfall, superfuous pains have beer
taken to prove corrupt coalition between
him and Mr.. Clay. Mr.. Adams has sw orr
that it was not so; but to no purpose. L
was the fact Of mere contact with hin
which blasted the otherwise certainty &
Mr.. Clay's advancement-the fact Of mer,
contact, not the contamination of motive
Tied to him, the most popular man Of III,

to rise no more.

IRELAND AND AMERICA.

The Dublin Freeman's Journal
holds the following language respecting
the present difficulties between Eng
land and America. 1t is somewhat
different in its positive and relative
calculations from other British authori-
ties.
"Tho reooding of England from tho
position which she had taken ABBOTT
Texas is deeply significant, and histo-
nv may hereafter use il TO make the
point at which the flood Of her fortune
began to ebb. America is no ordinary
power. Her greatest strength can be
put forth upon England's own ocean
domain. A quarter of a century ago,
was thought capable OF annihllating the
little marine Of America by single
stroke Of her fan-and the relative di-
mansions Of their natives justified the
supposi,ions--the young nation seized
the knife between her teeth, dashed to
meet her anemy on her eneny's own
element, and many n spoutIng vein OF
the monsters of the seas crimsoncd the
deep on which they struggle.
".America is better grown now. Her
commercial navy covers every sea, and
in its qualities leaves all rivalry far be-
hind. Great as have been her adyan-
ces in population and in wealth her
progress in commerce have far out
striddcn these. The maritime strength
of nations is no longer measured By
counting their ships of war, but by
sounding the depths of that source
whence the military marine is TO be
supplicd--thcir commercial. England
is mighticr at sea than France, not
because that for every 100 tons of
Louis Philippe's royal navy, Victo-
ria's navy numbers l2;-or whatever
else may be the proportion of the OK
ccss-but because the commercial ton
mage of France being but 100000, that
Of England amounts TO 3,OOO,0OO.--
BY the same standard the maritime
strength Of England and that Of the
United States may be compared, and
they stand thus-England has 30O,-
600, O0O-Amcrca has already 200,-
100000 This is the relative posi-
ton, not of countries whose distance
has long maintained a stationary pro-
portion, but of countries, the second
placed Of whom is gaining upon tho
first by strides almost incredablc.--
Fifteen years pcrhaps-twenty GER
tainly-will reverse their position in
the race.
"England will not 20 to war with
America OH account Of Texas, nor on
account OF Oregon; and scarcely on
account Of anything else that the New
World contains.
"England will be especially cauti-
Que OF going 10 war with America, or
dashing herself against the compact
constitution of the States, when she
reflects that America is a country with
whom foreign nations arc ambitious To-
become united, while she herself is a
country from whose mereilcss grippe
kindred nations struggle to be released.
ENGLAND keep cool-dcn't go 10

renee Of slavery by robbing your poo
pie of two annual millions at home, TO

SECRET WORTH KNOWING.

"Iruth is Strange-Sfranger than fcf'on."
Under this heading, the "Long Is
land STAR" publishes an interesting
tale, for the extended details of which
we cannot find room, but must content
ourselves with giving the leading facts
in condensed form, for the benefit Of
our readers.
A young grocer of good character,
and correct habits, commenced bust
ness in a good and improving neigh
borhood. His stock was small, as
were his means, and his stock of Gus
toners were still smaller. His sales
hardly met his expenses, and he was
evidently going dOacn hill, and an old
grocer on the opposite corner predict
ed that he would soon be at the bot
tom. That the young grocer had rea-
son 10 regret this opinion OF the old
grocer will appear. The latter had a
daughter who had won the heart of the
former. He offered himselfto her,and
was rejected. 1t was done however,
with the assurance that he was the
man of her choice, but that she acted
in obedience to her fathers commands.
Assured of the affections of the wo-
man of his choice, he set himself about
removing the only obstacle in the way
of their union-the fathers objection
to his pecuniary prospects:
A year had elapsed, and 10 I! what a
change !! The young grocer was now
going sup hili," with the power of
a steam locomotive; customers flocked
TO his store from all quarters, and even
many had left the old established stand
on the opposite corner, forthe younger
favorite. There was a mystery about
it, which puzzled the old grocer sorely,
but which he could not unravel. lie
at length became nearly sick with los
SEES and aggravations,a and vain attempts
to discover the secret Of his neighbours
success.
At this junction, Angelica-for that
was the daughters name, contrived TO
bring about an apparently accidental
interview between the parties. After
the old man had become, through the
intervention of the daughter, tolerably
good humored, he inquired with great
earnestness of the young man how he
contrived to effect so much in single
wear. to thus extend his business, and
draw off the customers from the older
stands.
The young man evaded an answer
but inquired if he had any further OBJ
iections TO his union with Angelica
"None, replied he provided you reveal
the secret Of your seccess.' This the
young man promised to do when his
happiness was made complete. The
affair was settled and the marriage soon
took place.
The friends of the young couple
were all assembled, and among them
many of the customers Of the two
stores. Angelica and Thomas looked
as happy as we'll could be, and the old
gentleman was, If possible, happier
than they. The bridal cake was about
10 be cut when the old man called out
for "THE SECRET"
"Aye, the secret, the secret" ex-
claimed fifty others.

Thomas, 81 ADVERTISE"
