storm RACES and the tempest roars,
| love to gaze upon the magnih-
cencc OF nature, and contemplate
its wondrous power even In the
wreck and ruin which it causes.
War is a great calamity, which all
good men must deprccate. But 1t is
matter of history, that England
never exhibited a kind disposition
towards Ireland except in tie mo-
ments of her humiliation and embar-
easements; and that concession uni
formly followed on the heels OF some
great national discontinue of an
naughty aud wicked oppressor.
DR.. Hughes, Bishop of Philadel-
phia, being unanimously called on.
returned thanks at considerable
length, and with great spirit and Ell
feet. "Mr. Polk he said was rep
resentative of the majesty Of the
American people, not their Sove-
reign, but the vice-gerent Of that
sovereignty which they inherit as a
right, and by their free suffragcs en-
trusted to hun. The trust could not
be committed to better or worthier
hands. Mr.. Polk he described as a
man of large experience and varied
requirements, well versed in bust
ness, fully acquainted with the his
tory and recourSes of his own repub-
lie, close observer OF the British
cabinet, with a fixed and anxious
eye upon the patriotic struggles oil

lean Confederacy, said the bishop,
is man Of calm rehe ction, ofsteady
purpose, and indomdable will; he
seeks not for conquest, but he vii
repel invasion and risk empire to
resist aggression. Ii discussions and
discomfort prevail in another land
he has sagacity enough 20 employ
them as instruments OF his owl

kcr, the cabinets of Europe, tn,
despots Of the East, the fierce chief
tains Of Africa, or the umyieldine
