Mn. CLAYTON,

The Union thus speaks of Mr.. Clayton's eff
forts to effect compromise of the vexed ques-
ton in relation to Slavery in the new Terrific
ries: Differing as we essentially do ciM the
Senator from Delaware in political principles,
and in our party views, we owe it to ourselves,
as well as to him, to express the thanks which
he richly deserves for his manly efforts to ad-
just this complicated question and to give peace
to the Union" This is just the difference be-
tween Mr.. Polk and Mr.. Clayton. Mr.. Polk
deserves the credit of bringing this difficulty up
on the country-Mr. Clayton deserves the thanks
of the nation for his manly efforts to extricate US
from it. 1t would give us great pleasure to
evince our huable appreciation Of the frankness
and candor of the Union in this rare instance,
by thanking some prominent Locofoco for an act
of disnterested patriotism we nope some gen.
tleman of that party will afford us the opportu-
nifty before many years. Seriously speaking,
we believe every member of the Committee,
Wing or Democrat, Northern or Southern man.
deserves credit for an anxious desire to settle
this question in manner to ensure the safety
and perpetuity of the Union.

LEGATION of the various lives of Gen. Cass intended

addressed letter to Messrs. Blair g. Rives, the
publishers Of the Lives, protesting to seek infor-
nation upon the subect-these gentlemen find
il convenient TO turn the matter over to their
head clerk who informs the Senator that there
were four editions, tco in March and tco in
June, and that othe objection to the first edi-
ton consisted in the omission of a letter from
Gen. Jackson" Independent then goes on re-

by men who are accustomed to honesty and

which have been made rule of Democratic
practice. The word Democracy, which they
have painted on the platform, seems in the eyes
of the faithful to be aIl-suficieHtto explain away
every inconsistency and make up for every def
cheney. We once heard Of weary traveller in
the Western pari Of the State OF Indiana, who
was attracted by Haunting sign which bore in
large capitals, the words Tavern by William
Smith; entering the log dwelling of which
the sign was an appurtenance, he accosted sal
low biped who sat on rude chair near rick
ETY. table, which supported a stone jug and a
green glass tumbler, when the following da-
logue ensued: =
care you the Landlord y
II amt nothin else"
Il should like to have some oats for my
horse.''
Don't Keep that are article
GIVE me some corn then.
Don't keep that nuther.
IL should like to have some dinner.
Don't Keep mems feed
"Well, what ON earth do you keep?"
"Blazes man keep tarerni cant you read
the sign"
Thus the deluded Locofcco who looks in vain
for the fulflment of the pledges Of the Democrat
ic leaders, must content himself by reading the
inscription upon the sign, or in gulpng down
the honeyed stream of flattery which flows from
the lips Of their oracles, and which go as far to
meet the real wants of the people, as would the
''badface" Of the Indiana Landlord to "cloy the
hungry edge of appetite"

From my youth have been subject to lung complaints,

Zelda cough set in, and though slight in the beginning,
made use of the simple remedies which always keep

many of which have gained celebrity, but my cough
creased in violence and pain in the side and right lobe
of the lungs set in which became very distressing
and at intervals attended with oppressive structures
on the lungs. During this time expectorated freely,
but the raised from the lungs indicated disease
deeply seated. Two three physicians kindly sent me
their medicines which have been very efficient curing
coughs but they failed to reach my CASE and began
be somswhat uneasy. In the latter part of April left
home, intending to travel awhile and and if possible es

THE cARNcRoss FAMILY.

This interesting family visited our town last
week, and gave concerts on Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday evenings. We had heard much of
this family before they came here, and it is but
Justice to say that in our humble opinion they
sustained their high reputation. We do not pos
sess any critical knowledge Of music, Ito US the
prettiest girl generally seems the best singer
in all matters pertaining to female accomplish
ments and we must content ourselves in this in
stance with backing his judgment. The enter
tainments on the occasions when we were pres
ent were conducted in manner which reflected
much credit on the performers, and the applause,
(rather boisteous ho,oerev, to be considered in
good taste,) with which the audience received
their efforts, testified to the fair vocalists that
they had produced decidedly favorable impress
sion. We were particularly struck with the in
imitable grace of Miss Augusta, the second of
the trio of sisters.
There are several young gentlemen in the
Company, who are accomplished vocalists and
musicians.
We learn that it is the intention Of this family
to visit the upper counties of the valley, where,
we are sure, their accomplishments will insure
them fatterng reception,
Since the above was in type, our whole Office
have rebelled against what they say is rank i'm
justice to The little sister," Well, perhaps the
fond associations connected with the name OF the
elder may have made us partial-we certainly
do nee mean to deny the merits of the lesser star.
