MR.. WICK OF INDIANA

This gentleman might have spared him
self the trouble, ofan effort TO sink himself
in the estimation of all rejecting men He
had made himself sufficiently ridiculous and
contemplate before but he did not perceive
this himself, though every body else did.
On The 9th January, he made speech in
the House on the bill TO increase the pay
of the army, which he seemed to think sfB
fishing touch to Recommend him toJhe Pres
ident, at least for a Paymastership. The
speech is thus sketched in the Baltimore
American: s Sod -.ss...s...
s. Mr.. Wick of Ia. addressed the Committee
for the propose OF infiicting summary chas-
tisement upon the party in power Of which
he was member. He denounced his own
party as showing an incapacily for govern
ment by its division upon the floor. There
were low, dirty, groveling, pallry, contempt
able PERSONS who brought these vile ques-
tions from their consituents-localq questions
like Slavery and anti -SIavery-which were
introduced here to distract the Democratic
party. zsd ass.s f-ae = .isf 49, sss'e '..4i5
gls Then Mr.. w. followed With an assault
upon the majority for not putting . tax upon
tea and coffee, as recommended by the Ad-
minisiration. Then too. the party had re-
fused to give the President a Lieutenant Gen
eral, which he had asked Tor and our armies
had to be governed by Wing Generals, and
he would say cost what il might, that the
leaders in Mexico should not be Wing lea
ders bu. Administration men.
Mr.. w. did not mean 10 impeach Gen.
TayIor's patriotism. IL he and his associates
received orders, they would obey them: il
they met an enemy they would fight him,a
if they won victory, they, and not the Al
minisiraions, had the honor of it,. Now this
said Mr.. W., vociferously, must not and
shall not be. The Administration shall! have
leader there and Mr.. Wick spoke as 1.-The
was in earnest, while the members around
him laughed heartily at this yocilorous de-
monstration. Mr.. Wick bad great misgivine
in regard to the war with Mexico. /; was
plain that il would fizzle out. seq
"What?" was the general inquiry.
MIR. Wick II will fizzle out. You will
no, support it, and yet, shame upon you,
(roars of laughter,) you have not the cour-
age to ask for or direct the Withdrawal Of
our army to The east bank Of The Rio Grande
You daren. OF do this but mean TO do il
when-The Administration recommend
IL. Twill not do so before, as do MOI
mean 10 cripple the Administration o! which
am member. 4.svs~.rsss s-sr~r = Z

of the Wing members and some of his own
party, but in speech Astounding emily 10 eb-

We find nothing more able in our exchange
papers than the editorial articles of the
Philadelphia North American. The follow
ing paragraphs are from long article in
that paper ofihe 4th inst. s...-.
The Administration has every advantage
thatcould be derived from its own unobslsnc-
ted policy. Ii has the tariff OF '46, the Sub
Treasury that il asked from
Congess or the country. And can il be
that,within six months of the contamination
of that policy, i. is necessary 10 demand a
departure from it, TO shield the country from
bankruptcy? The Administration passed
the present taraff; has SO brief a period pro-
we'd its folly? The administration urged the
Sub-Treasury; is il already convinced of
its madness? The administration COM
menced the present war; has The first cam
paign exhausted its resources?
The question of duty upon lea and col
fee is a vital branch of The teriff issue, and
we trust thatit will be met in that relation
Ii the Administration wants funds for the
war, we would yield them, by an increase
of the rate of foreign duties generally. 1t
has no right TO select especial articles, and
those TOO OF the widest popular consump-
ton, in order to effect lis own sinister purposes
not command credit under its own system,
as il frankly admits thati il cannot, lei il adopt
the Wing policy-the policy Of 40 Let
II repeal the British tariff, the Sub-Treasu-
~ act; and il may command resources ad.
equate to any exigency. 19Ss en&F'1Fis
The Administration has had its own way
IN every thing; the domestic and foreign pol
icy of the nation has been controlled by its
malorilies in Congress; and it has, with a
war on hand, established The present tariff
and Sab-Treasury policy. Why should that
policy be changed? 1t had all the facts be
fore it, and it deliberately adopted il. AL
that has followed was predicted, and they
know it. Why then seek now TO change The
teFif of their choice, and to modify the
Sub Treasuryf The loans Of The Repnb-
Inc cannot, according TO Mr.. Wakes, be taken
Say you SO? Then, under your own system
deliberately adapted sustained by an almost
unequalied majority, you have brough, the
Government face to face with bankruptcy
You. found itricb. you have beggared il; you
found it at peace; you have plunged it into
doubtful war; you found il happy and have
involved il in a .crisis more dark and danger
Gus than any which has been witnessed since
the Revolution. The patriotism of the coun
try will struggle through that crisis, but j
will owe little, for its triumph, to the presen
leaden and laggard Administration. &, 4a.s

MIR. CLAY'S BAPTISM.

We recently copied from tie Christian
Watchnan. a statement, that the Hon. Henry
Clay. on being admitted lately TO the Episco-
pal Church had demanded immersion. and
was accordingly baptized in beautiful pond
near his own house The account which we
give below, from n correspondent Of the
Recorder, who appears 10 have been present
at the baptism, and very possibly was the
officiating minister-it will be seen, differs
most materially from the Warchman's &c
count.
He was baptized in the little parlor at
Ashland,l on Tuesday afternoon, the 22d
June, together with ono Of his daughters in
law, (the other being already member oil
the Churcb,) and her four children, BY the
Rev. Edward F. Berkely, Rector Of Christ
Church, Lexington. The baptism was ad-
minstered privately, for the reason that the
congregation of Christ Church are replacing
their old church with a new edi6ce, now in
rapid progress Of erection, and are not suIts-
bly, situated for the most solemn and deceot
administration of the rite in public.
When the minister entered the room
on this deeply solemn and interesting occa-
sion, The small assembly, consisting Of the
immediate family, few family connexions
and the clcrgyman's wife, rose up, In The
middle OF the room stood a large centre
table, on which was placed, filed with wa
ter, The magnificent cut glass vase, pre-
scented TO Mr.. c by some gentlemen oil
Pittsburgh. On one side of the room, hung
the large picture Of the family oil Wash
ington, himself an Epi, copalian by birth,
by education. and devout communicate
OF the Church; and Immediately opposite,
on side table. stood the bust Of the Ia
mented Harrison. with a chaplet OF with
cred flowers hung upon his head. who was
10 have been confirmed in the Church the
Sabbath after he died-it witness o. such
a scene. Around the room were suspended
number of family pictures, and among them
the portrait of beloved daughter, who died
some years ago, in the triumphs Of that
faith which her noble father was now about
10 embrace; and the picture Of the late lost
son. who fell at the battle Of Buena VISIT
Could these silent lockers on al the scene
about Transporting, have spoken from the
marble and the canvass, they would heartily
have approved The act which dedicated the
man 10 God. There was deep emotion
per vading that small assembly, at the recital
under such circumstances, Of the sublime or
dnal of the Church, and every heart thrilled
with a solemn Joy, when the mercilul ana
glorious covenant was sealed, in the name oil
| The Father, and OF the Son, and OF the Holy
Ghost
Thu act will be publicly ratified at the
visitation Of the Bishop. on the third Sunday
in July, in the Apostolic rite OF Confirmation
