From Chancellor Ke,.is Eulogy on the author.


The .insrtean Dictionary Of the Englisa Language,
is work of profound in yesli CATION, and does iubn
honor to the pathological learning and general lite
ratue Of this country. Happy the who can
Ihus honofabls Identify his name with the existence
of our vernacular tongue. There is other way
in which mortal man could mors ehectually secure
Immortality benett IN the skies. Obellsks, arches, and
tuumphal mon umon ts seem to be transient the
bubble of military reputation. No work Of art can
Withstand the Incessant strokes of time. The unri-
vailed Parhenon, glowing 10 polished marble, and
which, for more Than two Thousand years continued
from the summit of the citadel of Athens to cast its
broad splendors aoioss the plains below and along
the coasts and headlands OF Attica, is now crumb
ling to ruins, after being despoIed Of It's most enqu-
site materials by savage war and heartless man
Even the Pyramids Of Egypt, whose origin is hiddeI
IN the deepest recesses OF antiquity, and which have
always stood in awe-inspirng solitude and grandeur
now annoyed by the depredations of curosIy,
and greatly eorroded by the action of the elements
and gradually sinking under the encroaching sands
Of the desert This dictionary; and the language
which Il embodies will also perish; but IL will not be-

tempt and the greai globe Itself"
The Publishers of the foregoing work respectfully
announce that they have made arrangements with
Mr.. +. Taylor, Bookseller, of Washington clly to
furnish the American Dictionary, in two large vo-
lumes at the very reduced price OF twelve dollars.
Ii 10 to be understood that for this price the best
paper and type and the best binding will be sup
plied-hs best copies, that is 10 say in all respects
The very valuable supplement, iohieh IS contained
IN no other edition than the present one should be
passed uDnotictd; 1t contains four thousand words,
not gipen in any other dictionary; only completed
by DR.. Webster in lSi3, Immediately before the
sickness which terminated his valuable hfe and has
been published and copyrighted, since his deathlby
his executors.
The work is now therefore in finished and com
plete state, It is not 10 be supposed that any thing
more can will be added to it; the present edition de
fning md illustrating twenty thousand more words
than the edition which, when it rst issued from the
hands of DR.. Webster, Acknowledged by the

" suffering under it. The police Offices and the
poor houses show comparatively but little of its
horrors. The saddest and most pitiable victims
are those, perhaps, of whom we are less likely
to hear, and whose condition is figured in the lot
Of the unhappy Mary Aloways.
That cases of extreme physical debility, and
deaths from destitution, preceded by the most
dreadful mental t%ortures, are rapidly increasing,
is distinctly asserted; and what greatly augments
the horror of this reflection is the fact, that so
much of the evil goes surely on 10 its last awful
accomplishment, the death by famine, the death
by poison, in perfect secresy. 1t goes on for
months under the eyes of employers, neighbors,
fellow-lOdgers; and no body is the wiser until
the coroner is summoned. A starved creature
s seen walking into the grave, as Enthusiastically
rs though the grave was dug in the pathway she
walks IN, and she is looked upon only as doing
that which is done daily, and which nobody can
prevent.
To what a mocLery do such examples of the
condition of society turn the ull-applauded, not
the all-adopted maxim of "live and let livo."-
The practice seems to be olive and let die
THE contributors TO the wealth of trade are al
lowed to perish at their task at their employers
doors. The hands that create it are powerless
with want, or turned into instruments of self
destruction.
Employers who pay for work at the famine
price may quiet their consciences individually
when a death takes place, by saying that theirs
is the price paid by all the trade. This only
proves how far the evil spreads. Nobody con-
tends that it is the fault of one, but of aIl-of a
Pernicious system. But each employer for him
self knows, that when he has given as much for
the work done as others give he has still paid
only starving wages. He knows how many
hours the needlewoman has worked upon the ar
ticles for which he pays in pence; he knows, as
wellas if he stood over her how long the task
she takes home to execute will occupy her; he
knows therefore the utmost limit of herearnings;
and even if they were regular, instead Of preca-
rious, he is aware of their ~inadequacy. Can
he pretend to be ignorant that exhaustion must
succeed to debility, and that despair must follow
restitution?
The heroism and d~elicacy of such q victim as
theone under notice, when thus seen, show the
evil in the strongest light; but though few might
like her, create in the midst of deepest want AZ
idea of partial independence, their utter destitu
ton would be only tho more visible, and the en-
ployer should only be the more conscious Of the
destructive and unpardonable cruelty of thotsys
TEN, Of which, though he may consider himsel
irresponsible, he is practically the encour0ger.

THE TORIES OF ENGLAND,

If any thing, are moro bitter and abusive than
the Fedcraljs;s of this country, at the defeat Of
Henry Clay. This was TO be expected, as there
has always been a fellow feeling between them.
The election Of Col. Polk has blown sky high
all the fair calculations Of the nobility over the
water. What a pity! John Bull wanted Texas
for himself, 10 raise cotton for his manutactories,
which would come in duty fee-but now Pres
ident Polk aud tho Democratic party say he
shan't have it, but We will re-annex it to our
W country, where it rightfully belongs. Then,
again, old Mr.. Bull is chaqrined and dis3ppoin-
led, because MIR. Polk and the whole Democrat
&c party are not in favor of his grand scheme of
Assumption which was got up in London, and
assented to by Daniel Webster while on a visit
there. The London Times and the Lircypool
Mail, the organs of The Government, are perfect.
ly rabid. Indeed, in reading their remarks, one
would suppose, that he was perusing the New
York Tribune or the Boston Atlas! The more
liberal part Of the English press-which reflect
the tone Of the masses-London Spectator fol-
instance, speak of the result of our election as q
triumph of the Democracy over the "doc trina
rio," and "horeditary party" of the Union.
The journal des De5ot8, the organ Of Louis
Philippe in Paris, is very much dissatisfied with
TIE turn the election has taken; while on the
other hand, the Presse, the organ of the peo-
pie of France, ~reioices at the success of Mr..
Polk.
We were about reviewing the remarks of the
European press, on the election of Col. Polk,
when the following article from the New York
Sun, a neutral paper, met our eye. We request
our readers to peruse it attentively:
The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 184?-1851, 1845-01-08

Il IS not ouI interest that Texas should be united.
but II il is the general wish of the people Of A
merica, we should not have interposed any OBJ
siacles to the measure. The public press con-
nscied with anti-annexation OF Texas has en-
coursged US TO pursue that course" This We
believe 10 be the secret explanation of England
as TO her motives, and we are therefore bound
TO conclude that ire hare a British party IN this
country whose movements must be hereafter
watched a party of American citizens, who
are pushing on division and diSsensions, and
looking to the alliance of Great Britain in the
event Of a separation. We hope that Congress
viii bestow a little consideration on this matter,
before they proceed to strengthen the British
party in the country. What the fate of the
Texas question may be during the present ses-
sion, it IS impossible TO ~foresee; but there can
be no doubt that Mr.. Polk, elected under the
pledge of immediate annexation, will feel bound
10 carry out the expressed will of the people,
and we cannot perceive how the anti-annexa-
%tonsts, who have encouraged British opposi-
ton, are to be placed in a better position under
hIr. Polk, than under the present administration
Delay viii not strengthen their hopes. On the
contrary, what may now be peaceahly effected
may hereafter be carried at the point Of the bay.
onet. If General jackson lives he will pres:
annexation with all his energy ON Col. Polk and
his influence as a statesman Of great experience
and wisdom, as well as his name, will be ire
sistjble in settling the question. Why not al
once settle it, when it can be amicably done,
and thus close the door against further agjta,

TEgE COUNTRY RUINED!
AWFUL CONSTITUENCIES OF POLK'S L
LECTION!!!!!!!

Ii is now positively stated that the Millerites
blame the election of Col. Polk, with the de-
feat of their project to destroy the world!
We are told that a Wing of New Rumley had
contracted with a Democrat for the building of
pigstyo; but when he heard of Folks election,
he gave orders that the work should not 90 on!
This is not all. A Wing of Froeport had
bargained for a doll baby for his little daughter,
worth eighteen and throe-tourth cents; but as
soon as he he heard of Clay's defeat, he decli,
ned completing the purchase, as he was satisfied
Chat it would break him up!
Still another. A Wing of Cadiz agreed 10
purchase a bull pup, and pay for it at soon as its
eyes were open; but in the mean time, the sad
news reached him of Folks election, and he
concluded to do without the pup, as he was
afraid he could not afford to feed it under a
Democratic administration!
But the worst remains to be told. A Wing
lady of Steubenville commenced the manufac-
ture Of a splendid hustle, according 10 the Ia
test French style. She had it all neatly sewod
UP ready for s~tutiDg, when the Wheeling stage
arrived, bringing the news of Folks election on
the way-bill-her hustle fell, she Cooked deadly
pale" and at length tainted away, Medical aid
was Immediately called in, and after a consider
able length of time, they succeeded in restoring
her senses. As soon as she recovered, and be.
held the unfinished hustle at her feet, she ex-
claimed in agony, "Alas! alas! | knew it would
be SOL cannot now afford to buy enough bran
at the steam mill to stuff my busjIe;-I will be
Questionable, and will look so small all around!
oh, I'm disgraced! The loco focos did

Death of Ex-speaker Buchanan.

We regret to learn from the Ohio Sun, that
Thomas J. Buchanan, Esq, died athis residence
in Batavia, on the 18th ult. after an illness Of u
few days. We became acquainted with Mr..
Buchanan, during the winter of 1889, when he
was Speaker Of the House of Representatives
of this State, and while he presided over the de-
Iiberations Of that body, we sat near him, onga-
ged in taking down the proceedings and speech
es Of members for the Statesman. We always
found Mr.. b. to be an honorable and high-mind-
cd gentleman, and keenly alive to q sense Of his
own rights. He possessed an ardent tcmpera-
.ment, yet he had as warm a heart as ever throb-
bed in mans bosom. As a dobator he was al
ways ready to maintain his position with arga-
mCnt that carried conviction to the minds of his
aldience-he never studied TO please the ear
with f1r-fetchcd p%oetical metaphors or attempts
al wit, but spoke right On with energy and fire,
and occasionally flashes Of native eIoqucnce
came bursting from his soul that overwhelmed
the listener. Mr.. B. left behind him q lovely
and aGoctionate wife, and one child, anda numo
roug circle of friends, to mourn his untimely de-
rlrture. Rcquje3cat IN pace.

The CANADIAN PR1soNERs.-The Montreal

the persons who for several years has been a
prisoner in New South Wales. We presume
the whole have been pardoned, and are on their
