stead. of virtue and honor, his heart was
filled with, and his actions governed by,
hatred, envy, revenge, and a host of other
vicious habits and passions. He was one
of those pests to society, and that libel up
on humanity,a professed duelist. And he
was one who, though stained with the
blood of several Of ,his fellow-5eings, and
guilty Of many other crimes which would
have blasted forever the prospects Of any
one in more humble sphere, was fawned
upon by the higher circles Of society, and
was received and welcomed into What is
called fashionable life.
After Woodwork had concluded, Cliff
ford arose. The eyes Of many of the wsest
and greatest of this country, as well as of
Europe, were fixed upon the young orator
1t was his first effort in the house, and he
was almost abashed. With low and
quivering voice, and trembling frame, he
commenced. The crowd moved nearer
to catch his words, to which they listened
with deep, intense interest," The orator
became encouraged; his voice grew more
and more elevated; his manner was no lon
ger confused, and his eyes sparkled with
feeling. He enter into cleared elucidation
Of the question, showed its Importance, and
the good or injury that would result from
its decision. He then reviewed the argu-
ments set forth by Wordsworth, and ably
proved that Wordsworth gave untenable
assertions for proofs, irreconcilable contra
dictions, and broken metaphors for sublime
illustrations. Abruptness, irrelevancy, and
incongruity swept Woodsworth'st thoughts
from the memory down to the gulf of con-
fusion, and thence, they dashed rapidly
through the auditory's minds, and no more
left trace or impression, thant the clear wa
ter does on the crystal vase out of which
it is poured. Clifford's ideas were clothed
in elegant diction, and the flowing harmony
of his language, over which lofty sentiments
shed lambent and sparkling beauty, was as
free as the vernal breeze. Wordsworth
rolled his sentences in a rushing torrent,
whose sound,. like the roar ofthe pealing
thunder, alarmed the heart and grated the
ear; but Clifford in that melody-murmur-
ing stream which n.odulates 4" the mu.

To the friends Of Temperance and the
public generally we now make our appeal
in behalf of this paper. The publisher
feeling it matter of importance to the IN
terest Of the Temperance cause in the Dis
trict, as well as the general interest of the
cause, and having been, as he conceives,
Providentially placed in situation at this
time when he can miDgle this interest with
that of the business men, and thereby rem
der double service to the community, and
still further open medium of communica-.
ton by which our principles may be ex-
tended far and wide, at a cheap rate, he
has purchased printing establishment, so
as not only to be able to put daily paper
regularly to press, but also a weekly and
still further, be able to do any other print
ing the public may be pleased to have done; !;
and he assures them that they shall have
no cause of complaint He has made ar
rangements by which he can devote his
time to the interest of the office and the pa
per; and, having employed Mr.. Charles W..
Fenton, who will be always on the spot, to
conduct the printing, he has no doubt but
that general satisfaction will be given. We
shall make arrangements to have the earliest
news; also the proceedings of Congress
We wish all who are indebted for the pa
per up to this time to pay up, as the affairs
of the tri-weekly must be closed. They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, at
the same price.
While the "CoLuMBIAN FOUNTAIN" will
be devoted to the cause of Temperance, its
columns will be enriched by original articles
on subjects calculated to interest, instruct,
and benefit its readers. 1t is intended so to
blend variety, amusement, and instruction,
as that the various tastes of its patrons may
be (as far as it is practicable) gratifed.
Commerce, Literature, and Science, and
every other subject Of interest, not inconsis-
tent with Temperance and morality, will re-
ceive the earnest attention of the publishers.
Nothing of a sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted.

The American Flag OF July oath contains
some interesting general items, from which we
make the following cpitome:
A gentleman from Moncova direct, passing
through Caudala, Ilascala, Villa Altima, Sab-
mas, Mier, Comargo and Reynoso, slaIes that
every thing is perfectly quiet, and that the people
are expecting the approach Of our army. be
learned on The road that there had been no arri-
val OF troops al Monterey. Al Monclovia II is
stated that Paroles had arrived al San Luis Po-
iosi with seven thousand men, but, having re-
ceived letters from The capital, he connlermarched
and returned to the city OF Mexico The reason OF
thi. movement is attributed TO some sudden pro-
nunciamenlo from the capital.
