FOR TIE BANNER.
PATRIOTISM by ). D.

1t has been often charged upon the scrip
lures as defect, that they do not sufficiently
9inculcate the virtue Of patriotism. Ii indeed,
the charge were reN founded, we do not see,
how It could initiate against the truth of re-
syelnton. But it ia false, and must have origi-
mated in ignorance Of, or inattcntion to the
bible.
If we carefully examine the Old Tcsta-
mcnt, .ce shall find this sacred injunction:
spray for tho peace of Jerusalem; they shall
prospert that love thee..,' The devotion Of the
Jews tothcir native land was proyerbial their
attectiontfor it was ardent and sincere, cspe-
cially for Jerusalem, "he centre of their hap
pness, the seat OF all the endearmen;s of life"
When their tholy and beautiful city was
destroyed by the Babylonians, they surren-
dered ,liemselves to an inconsolable grief, and
bewailed their loss in the most piteous terms:
'By therivers of Babylon, there we sat down,
yen, we wept. when we remembered Zion.
the midst thereof *tS* is+ =
~ How shalIwe sing the Lords song
in strange land II I forget thee, OJeru.f
selem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
II do not remember thee, let my tongue
cleaue to the roof OF my mouth; ii prefer
not Jerusalem ADORE my chief joy" This is
the language Of strong attachment-and at
tachment for the land of their fnthers, the
land of promise, Which, the expressions of
nearly three quarters Of century tended
not in the least to diminish.
Nor is the Jewish history wanting in i,,di-
ridnal instances Of patriotic conduct We
might allude to Nehemiah, David, jeremiah
and Daniel. But, ''of all the examples re-
corded either in ancient or modern history,
whether sacred or profane, twill be difficult
to flild one surprising that ofthe illustrious
Hebrew Legislator, Moses. His attachment
to the people, over whom he presided, pro-
sents lilsi character in a most alniable point of
view, When the displeasure of.the Almigh-
ty was manifested against them, after their
idolatrons conduct at Mt. Sinai, how forcibly
did hes aiptorcede intheir favor! yet now If
thou wilt forgive their sins;$s. ~.
and If not blot me, Ispray thee, out of thy
book, which thou hast written. (Ex. 81:
32)." Sucliwas the noble and disinterested
patriotism Of this llustrious man; so that, this
virtue is most eftectually taught,' at ieast by
example. in the jewish scriptures. &:

A Lerter from Gen. Tavlor.

The Bait. Patriot Of the 21st ult., has the following
letter from Gen. TAYLOR to a committee of the
late Independent Taylor Party of Maryland, which
was presented to the Convention of that party In
Baltimore, in July last. b.t which was withheld
from publication at the time, in accordance with
the requested Gen. Taylor, appended to the COM
municaion. The Convention, twill be remember.
ed, placed the letter in the hands of VIM, Fl. Coll
Inns, Esq, withinstructions to furnish a copy for
publication, whenever Gen. Taylor, or any of
his authorised friends, shall ask for the same for
that purpose" The Hon. Reverdy johnson having
received a letter from Gen. Taylor, autlorising
him, at his discretion, to call for the letter, it has
been delivered, to him by Mr.. Collins; and Mr.. J.
gives the following reasons for its publication:
The failure heretofore to give the letter to the
pubic, because Of a request to that effect from the
ueneral himself, unexplained by his motive for
making 1t, has, with some, given rise to suspicious
tna.!t contained matter derogatory to his frankness
ana ntegrlty. These / deem itdue to him to have
dlspeied, and l know no mode so certain to &C.
complish 1t, as giving the letter ITSELF"
The letter is annexed. We commend it to the
preusal OF every friend of Gen. TAYLoR.-It is
frank, manly and independent, and proves that OIp
Zach has never soughtto play a double game, but
has invariably made known his political sentiments.
In this letter he holds precisely the same opinions
which he has ever entertained, and puts forth de-

BY THIS MORNINGS MAIL,

HENRY CLAY.-We have before US an interest
ing correspondence (Which we have not time to
insert this m%orning) between Thos. G. Clarke, Pre-
sident Of the convention at Slash Church. Hanoi
yer co. Virginia, and Mr.. Clay, in which the latter
was nominated for the Presidency. In his reply
Mr.. Clay says: -
"My name, with my consent, was submitted 10
the consideration Of the Philadelphia Convention
which assembled in June last. That body thought
proper to nominate a distinguished citizen of the
United States and not me. In view of the rela>
ton in which l stood 10 the convention | do not
think that l ought to pass any Judgment upon its
proceedings. 1t is sufficient for me to know that
1t did not deem it expedient to nominate me. In
this decision | have entirely acquiesced. / have
quietly submitted to it, and have given no encour>
agement or countenance to any further use or con-
nection of my name with the Presidency. To this
effect l have uniformly written to all associations
and individuals who have addressed me on the subs
ject." q
