trade direct with ST. Lonis. Thus the whole
western and northern trade is fast gaining n
foreign nature, and is entitled TO all the pro.
lection of that emanaling from the Atlantic
cities, even though internal commerce were
entitled 10 no protection, which | deny. Look
to the history of our lake trade; and let The
past be some indication of the future. In 1896
the American flag was first hoisted on Lake
Erie, on board a small schooner of 20 TONS
In 1919, on Lake Erie, which now has IS, the
first steamboat (Walk-in.the water) made its
appearance, and made trip to Macinac, to
carry up the goods Of the American Fur Com
pany, and annually made her "long and ardu.
GUS voyage" to this Ultima Thule of American
navi CATION, until she was wrecked on the beach
near Buffalo, in the month OF November, 1921
With the greatest difficulty her place was sup.
Piled by the steamboat Superior, which has
since been altered over into a small sail vessel
"A piiful contrast with the mighty Great
Western, Illinois, or Wisconsin. But, in those
days, have no doubt the captains OF the Walk
Whitewater and Superior srutted the deck,
prouder of the. extent and greatness of their
command, than now do my weather worn and
popular friends, Captains Walker, Blake, and
Randall, now making their four-day trips from
Buffalo 10 what were then parts unknown
And those very straits, which were then visited
but once year by steamboat, now have one

appearance on Lake Michigan on a pleasure
excursion to Green Bay. In 1882, the neces-
sites of the government, during the Black
Hawk war; compelled the first steamboat to
make trip TO what is now the great granary
OF the Wcst-the garden city, "urJs in horto,"
where have the honor to resde-a city not set
on ahill, yet it will never be hd--a city this
moment holding out greater inducements Tor
investments in real estate than any in this broad
country-a city that will one day alone have a
member on this floor and this, more than one
person now alive will live to see. In that year
(lS32,) the first frame building was erected
The next, Chicago was first laid out into lots.
And, during this year, (lS33,) there were but
eleven steamboats, on Lake Erie, and only three
trips were made into Lake Michigan, one to
Green Bay, and two 10 Chicago, when the
erection of the first brick house was celebrated.
IN 1884, there were but eighteen boats in all on
the lakes, making in the year two arrivals at
Chicago and three at Green Bay. In 1886, the
year of my first arrival in the State, the prairie
tires o7erran what now composes the principal
part oftwo of our wards. Its growth. since
that time, can be best estimated from the fol-
lowing statistics:

HENRY CLAY never was and never can be the
choice Of the American people. And to prove
It we will hastily review his political history for
the last 90 years.
J.. Because in 1924, when Jackson, Adams and
Clay were candidates for the Presidency, Clay
received but 81 out of 26l ELECTORAL votes.
.. Because in 1928, the rotten league between
John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay. was
beaten by Andrew Jackson 20O, 600 votes.
). Because in 1892, when Clay was the regu.
lar nominee OF the Federal National Convention,
IN the ELECTORAL college he RECEIVED ONLY AZ
OUT OF 200 electoral votes.
a. Because in 1886, he again made desperate
effort TO be taken up, but his friends we're afraid
TO try him.
b. Because in 1889. he AGAIN TRIED 10
force himself upon the Baltimore Convention.
and was cast aside in disgust.
o. Because since the federal party have an.
nounced their determination to make Clay theft
candidate IN IA, THOUSANDS AND THOU
SANDS OF GOOD MEN and true. have led
the federal party and rallied round the glorious
flag Of democacy.-[Mt Yer. 70 J Banner.

RASDoLPns PERSONAL APPEARANCE
"lle used to enter the House booted and spur
red, with whip in hand. few moments af.er
it had come to order, and appeared to be de-
sirous Of attracting the attention of the mem
bers, by his loud salutaton Of some of his ia.
vored friends, to the fact Of his presence. In
the winter he was enveloped in long lion
skin surtout, and on entering the hall his face
was nearly buried in fur cap. He would
sometimes stop short in the middle aisle. and
if he found airy one up he did not care to lis
ten TO, he would abruptly turn on his heel and
go out. The reporter of the Intelgcncer, in
the winter of 1890, took a sketch OF him in
that uncouth and ludcrous figure, with moth.
ing visible but his two legs protruding out be-
low, with his mouth, nose. and eyes, and with
head erec:, as if accommodating. 1t was one
OF the best licensees ever hit off. He had a
vast number of them printed and kept beside
him in his seat to dispose of to the members.
and although he sold scores of them daily for
tho balance of the session, the fact was kept
secret from the original, while the members
enjoyed the joke occasioned by this carica-
ture."

MISERY IN THE MIDST OF WRALTm.--Thur-
low Weed, in one of his letters from London,
portrays the following scene of wretchedness
poverty, and death, in Regent street, London.
He says:
SIN walking up Regent street yesterday, l
witnessed scene of anguish new to me, but
not so to those better acquainted with the
abodes OF restitution. Observing a crowd
gathering upon the opposite side of the street,
| crossed over and saw an infant that had lust
breathed its last in the arms of its mother, who
had been sitting or standing all day in that
street, endcavoring to sell matches. The
child died for the want of food and noutish-
mcnt, and the mother, who was still pressing
her dead infant to her, was picture Of desti-
tuition and dcspair. There was scarcely
strength enough in her trembling limbs to bear
her into an apothecarys shop where the res
:oratives tried in vain upon the child wefd
needed by the fainting mother. The poor wo-
man by her language and department. excited
much sympathy. She was evidently in d
greatly deblitaled state from the want Of food.
She had only received two aud half pence
for matches in two days, and had no other
means of support.
Regent street, where this mother and child
sat starving, cazzles the eye and bewilders the
Imagination with its wealth and magnifcence.
The mines Of Potosi and the treasures of COL
conda seem to have been poured into the lux
urious lap of Regent street. But amid all its
wealth and luxury, mother toiled in vain for
the coarse food that would enable her to give
nourishment to dying infant! And thus is
human life in this city painfully diversified"
In the above sketch there is an exemplfi.
cation of the effects Of the bank and tariff'pol-
icy of the wings. Let it be remembered that
England has her mammoth national bank and
protective tariff, and that those who would
engraft them upon our free institutions arc
pursuing a policy that will make the rich
richer, and doom the aboring masses to want
and Indebtedness.

USANIMITr OF THE DRxocRAf1c PAaTY.-
A writerin the Richmond Enquirer, an srdcns
advocate of the claims of John Z. Calhoun
for the Presidency, speaks in the following
strong and earnest language in regard TO the
unanlmliy OF the democratic party in fdvof Of
Martin Van Buren, for President.
"The Baltimore Convention. so Fat IS tie
nomination of a candidate for the Presidency
is concerned, will be a mere cypher. Thai
nomination has already been made. and bv q
greater than the Baltimore Convention
From Maine to Louisiana, from Illinois to the
Atlantic, the thunder-tongued voice Of the Ile-
mocracy has proclaimed MARTIN VAN BUREr
to be the first choice of vast, countless ma
jorty of the party. No sensible, wel-inform-
ed. true hearted Democrat will deny the truth
OF this assertion. 1t matters not how that
preference is manifested; it is sufficient if we
know that it exists. This preference is not
the result. Of intrigue and management, as has
been alleged; it is too widespread, too deter
mined. too enthusiastic. | believe that the
friends of Mr.. Van Buren, are as free from the
charges of intrigue and management, as the
supporters of either of the candidates. Even
in those States and sections where prefer
cnce for some other individual is found to ex>
list, we find, that in many instances Mr.. Van
Buren, is the second choice. This is like the
decision of the Greek Generals, after the bat
tie of Salamis. Each gave the first vote to
himself in awarding the prize Of valor: whilst
every one gave the second suffrage to Themis.
tocles. This was considered tantamount to a
general election, and the prize was adjudged
to Themistocles."

thoughts were on the ocean, linking in imagin-
alton that chanless element to the memory OF
her he had loved, and whom he now mourned.
Mechanically his eyes followed the figure OF
one, simply because there was in her every
movement grace and action; the mask, too, was
so placed as to show more of the brunette than
the quadroon- horror! what meets the eye?
what basalisk charm has she about her to cause
such glare in those eyes? He stood petrifed,
and for a moment the whole scene passed before
him like tabled vision. What was it,
As soon as the dance was over, he sought
the figure, and grasping it by the arm with ner-
vous power, he drew it to one of the recesses
"Speak, OH your life speak the truth; if you

"Hush, sir, are there no listeners? this chain
is linked with the name of one it would he dan

"Woman, ficnd! torture me not.-how came
you by this chain?"
The maskers gazcd around them, there was
no one near them, the dagger was still in the
hand of the Spaniard, and was so held as to be
only seen by herself-his eyes glared wildly
upon her with fearful brightness.
"Draw nearer, sir; let me whisper in your
ear. This chain belonged to one"
"Speak, speak.-what of herr Tell me her
fate!"
"Death!-the fate of the passengers and crew

MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF New JER-
sEY. Governor Haines, of New Jersey, sent
in his Message to the Legislature on Wednesday.
1t shows that the present resources of the Trea-
surer will enable him to pay of the whole of the
State debt, and leave a surplus in the Treasury.
The governor recommends that the legislature
omit the usual tax bill this year, as the otherrc-
onrces of the State will pay all its necessary ex-
pendltures, ESTIMATED at S55 1885, & still leave
surplus in the Treasury of S9O,s46. There is
scarce a State in the Union which can boast
such exemption from pecuniary libility as
this.

CHAPTER III.-The DpDartltre,

On bright morning in June, the Levee Of
New Orleans, or rather that portion of it oppo-
site Esplanade street, presented lively appear
ance. Several vessels were about to depart
down the Mississippi; among them was the brig
Dolphin, bound for Baltimore, on board Of
which was Mrs. Davdge and her family. NJ
merous friends were leave-taking, as it is call
ed; hands were clasped and tears were she'd
"God bless you!" was uttered hundred times
by as many different voices, but the soft MUIR
muir of one voice in the ear of Amela-"re-
member me-" was of all others the most pleas
ing-itwas perhaps the most sincere. The word
was given and the fleet Of vessels were son
their winding way" From that bright mo-
ment when all was joyous and happy, when
the future looked like stainless mirror in
which was reflected all the youthful aspra-
tions of one lovely creature-from that bright
hour, when the heart of the young Spaniard
beat highest, to this period-the Dolphin, its
passengers, and crew, have never been heard Of
darkness rests upon their fate-but fearful
surmises, corroborated by one chain of evidence,
create belief, that their end was of a nature
too horrible to dwell upon
