There are many clauses in the ordinance of
lS4S besides those we have extracted; but at pre-
sent those clauses are dead letter. For example,
all owners and drivers of hackney coaches, &c,
while waiting for employment at either OF the pub
lie stands, at steamboat landings, or other places
are prohibited from fourshing or swapping their
whips or leaving their coaches, and from solicit
ing or requesting hire or employ in the public
Streets or at any place of amusement, or on board
of steamboats,, or at steamboat landings, or on any
wharf or pier in the CITY, Yet Notwithstanding
nected with the wharves, piers, and docks, thatthe
drivers of hacks, every day OF their lives, violate
one or other ALL of these clauses, and this hap
pens especially at the steamboat landings II is
not an unusual thing to see hall dozen hack
drivers, and their runners running to and fro when
a steamboat comes to the pier, cursing, lighting,
and abusing each other, and very often the pas
sengers, swapping whips, and leaving the coach
and horses in the street 10 take care OF themselves,
are quite common occurrences. Hackney coach
drivers are also very much in the habit (after
carry passenger to particular place,) OF stopping
and taking up other persons, to the great incon-
venience of the person who first employed them.
Now, these violations, at first blush, would
seem to be small matters, but when they are fol-
lowed up day by day, in the end they amount to
public grievance. Mayor Woodruff should, there
fore, take the matter up-it is his duty to do So
and give directions to the police to attend at the
steamboat landings, and see that the nuisance is
abated there, at least
The hackney coaches are, like omnibuses, great
keep "prvate establishment" ga carriage,
srP' is a very agreeable sound on a stormy night,
ifyou are in thin boots, and have spare dollar IN
your pocket.

A STEAMBOAT WHARF.-If we are not mis-
informed, there is a subscription list now in
circulation, the object of which is to raise funds
for the double purpose Of making a substan-
tial wharf in the vicinity of the present steam
boat landing, and to serve likewise as a pro-
lection to the caving in of the bank below that
quarter, which is more to be apprehended pro-
badly than at any other point in front of our
town. We conceive this to be an object that
calls with much force upon the enterprising
spirit and liberality of our citizens; with more
propriety, Of course, upon those Immediately
interested, but with good claim to the attention
Of all, whatever may be their location; for every
one who owns property in town cannot be ig-
norant of the fact that all measures to preserve
the banks around our town from caving in, add
that much to its preservation and stability, and
of consequence, value to property in all parts.
This assertion requires no argument. We
trust then, that our property holders will not
let the expense and trouble of the above enter
prise rest alone upon the shoulders Of those
whotown property on Front street, but lend a
hand in a work which they must perceive will
result to their advantage as we'll as those most
Immediately interested.

GRAND RIVER Us. BAYOU SoRREL.-We are
told by a resident of the former Of these tribu-
taries that our remarks respecting several dere-
Lotions to which human nature is subject, such
as hog stealing, log Slipping, DC, and such other
minor offences to which an inordinate use Of
bad liquor will inevitably lead a man, and which
practices we alluded to as having been pefpe-
trated on Grand River, was entirely gratuitous'
on our part, for taat Bayo. Sorrel was the Vi
cinitv where such contraventions Of law and
decency were in vogue. If sub is the fact,
which we don't assert, however, for fear of a
esharp stick" from the Sorrel fellows, we would
advise them to have a stringent magistrate in
that quarter, or else put more water in Their
grog.

Henry Clay.

This great statesman, whose name is so init.
mately connected with the grandeur of this
country, has made his closing speech upon his
Compromise Bill, the following notice of which,
and of its author, we take from a Washington
letter to the Picayune of the 23d ult:
The fact is, Mr.. Clay made a personal speech
as well as one which related to the things under
consideration. He spoke of the things to this
men, knowing their hearts, and determined to
strip them Of their outward garments, and he
succeeded in a manner almost supernatural.
You pay now say that Clay has unmasked the
factions. and that the people of this Union may
now. one and all Of them, Judge for themselves
of the reasonable objects they had in view.
This speech of MIR. Clay's was the browning
effort of his life, and furnishes the best test
from which the future historian may draw his
commentary.
Mr.. Pearce has positively declined the Depart
ment of the Interior; but the rumor that Mr..
Corwin would not accept that of the Treasury is
not correct. Mr.. Corwin will enter upon the
duties of his Office to-day.
The chances of the passage of the Compro-
mise bill are much improved. The bill will
probably pass the Senate, and in that case, it
will also pass the House. Much will depend
on the vote of the Senators from Rhode Island
and Delaware.

u The Lafayette Statesman, a most excel
lent Democratic paper, speaks the following
truths in the annexed paragraphs:
LAwLEssNEss.-The journals of the day
abound in details of bold and reckless disre-
gard of the laws CT the land. The private citi-
zen wantonly takes the execution of the laws
into his own hand and administers speedy and
stern justice to the offender. The statesman
recognizes a law higher than that he has sworn
to obey and support: the politician begins to
feel little respect for the sacredness of the most
solemn compacts: even Legislatures pass laws
to have a retroactive effect. Where will this
end! Are we rushing mad|y into the vortex of
anarchy!
1t becomes the Executive and legal officers of
the land to raise a barrier against the growing
recklessness of public feeling and action. The
good citizen, who desires the continuance of
freedom and the possession of acknowledged
right, should be firm in the support Of the ad-
ministration ofthe laws under all circumstance
and in all cases. Let justice be melted out to
offenders in accordance with prescribed forms
and the innocent be freed after careful investi.
cation. Preserve the respect for the institutions
Of the country, and we are safe. Admit the
right of disregarding their obligations, and lib.
erty is lost.

ME-. CLAY's SpEEcH.-aX.," in a letter to
the Baltimore Sun, dated Washington, July
22d, says:
The cars Of this morning brought a mighty
%concourse of people from Baltimore and the
North to hear the closing speech of Henry Clay
IN the bill of adjustment before the senate
1t was a mastery, eloqent, statesmanlike, pat
riotic speech, for which the country will ever
he greatful, and which will be read with pride
md satisfaction by every honest man. Mr..
Clay justly remarked that the defeat of the bill
would be the triumph of abolitionism, the tri-
umph Of freesoilism, the triumph of ultraism Of
every sort; but he hoped it would not be the
triumph of disunion. Mr.. Clay went over the
merits of the bill, and showed to the satisfaction
Of every candid man that it is a bill with which
both sections of the country may be satisfied,
and which, ii passed, will restore peace and har-
mony to the country.

Pierre S0ulee.

We once admired the character of Pierre
Soulee. We thought him an ardent, warm
hearted republican, whose talents and elo-
quence, of an acknowledged high order, were
directed by honesty of purpose, and a zeal and
a patriotism coeval with the noblest hearts that
have had birth upon our W free land. Al
though born upon despotic soil-in a region
which is peculiarly favorable to the ambition
and power Of extraordinary genius-we did not
entertain the prejudice that he had brought
with him into the wilderness Of America any
Of those passions and longings BORROWER which
have swayed the breasts of the educated of
France since the advent of Napoleon-we did
not, mainly from the many stirring addresses
upon freedom and common rights to which he
has treated the citizens of this State in times
past, while grasping at an elevation, the high
est which the constitution Of this country can
place a man of his birth. But now that he has
attained this exalted eminence-now that he
has reached the summit Of his earthly ambition
while we remain a united people-the whole
bearing and language Of this Frenchman has
changed! As aSenator in the Congress of the
United States, while protesting love for the
! Union, as a cloak to cover his traitorous and
nefarious acts, he takes advantage of present
excitement to advance the most ultra and dan
gerous Observation-Disclosures that aim at our
| arnbory op1 d.s4.uo+;or rrlo, +bo
tplea that he is fighting for the interests of the
South! The interests Of the South! What
are they to Pierre Soulee? Where sss his in
terests here except through dismemberment
Is he bound to our Southern soil through the
interests Of landed property, or the blood Of
his forefathers? No, he has reached the high
est pinnacle of honor that he can possibly at.
tain in this Union; and now that the excite.
ment Of pursuit has passed, his breast rankles
for some new hope or some new ambition
and his course upon the Compromise Bill war
rants us in saying that that hope is the DISCO
luton Of this Union, and that ambition, to b.
the head of some petty republic or sovereignty
Since the above was in type, we have como
across the following paragraph. which we tax.
from a late letter of lie Diabk Boiteur, I'd,
Picayune's Washington correspondent:
Mr.. Soulee, Of your State, holds at this mo-
ment a ridiculous position. He is the pupil
of Seth Barton, the professional mullifer here
in Washington, and a disunionist per Sc. From
this rich fountain of nonsense Mr.. Soule has
drawn and drank until he has become ~intoxica
led with the prospects before him. He enjoy.
now the reputation Of being the most memorable
mullifer Of the whole South; but at the safht
time ayows his attachment to the Union, and hi.
readiness to stump it, for the Union, shouli
its existence be threatened by the defeat Of TIL

LITERARY.

The FARMERS GU1DE.-We have received
several late Numbers of this excellent work
from the press of LEANoRD Scorr & Co.,
New York, each containing a beautiful steel
engraving. Its matter is of a different and a
higher order than other agricultural works, and
deserves the particular attention of planters.
GRAHAM's MAGAZINE, for August.-We are
expecting every day to get some subscribers to
this able and beautiful Magazine. Recol]ect
that Graham offers to cash subscribers, a splen-
did engraving. Now that our Reading Room
is in operation, and every body has an opportu-
nifty of seeing this fine work, we calculate that
its list will rapidly augment in this quarter.
PETERsoN's NATIONAL MAGAz1NE.-After a
protracted absence, two of the last numbers of
this two dollar magazine have at length arrived,
and like the familiar face of some fair friend
whom we love, it is warmly welcomed. Since
its absence from our table, we are pleased to
perceive that it has increased in size, and that
its engravings are kept up with the same spirit
and brilliancy-a sure guarantee that its worth
is appreciated.
LIrTLE's LIVING Active are happy to
say that this excellent work comes to us week
ly as regular as clock work. In its originality,
it stands alone. The contents of the present
number is pcculiarlysinteresting.
AMERICAN A~aRrcULTuR1sr AND SOUTHERN
CULTIvAroR.-We can make no distinction in
these two agricultural works. The first is
published in New York, and the last in Au-
gusta, Ga. They are widely different in their
character, and both are highly useful; as the
price oftheir subscription is very small, every
farmer should have both.
The ~ScALPEL.-This quarterly medical pc
riodical is again before us, looking as bright
and cutting as formerly. DR.. Dixon, Of New
York is the editor, and Notwithstanding the
deep knowledge which every line Of his able
work indicates, his style is of that ease and
sweetness Of Language which would find a low
er in every reader. The first article, which
alludes to the quotation, "The sins of the IA
ther shall be revisited on his children, even to
the fourth generation" is one of deep interest.

End of the ed Volume.

The present number closes the second vol
ume of the Sentinel, and it is an occasion thai
gives rise to many pleasing associations con
nected with our career in this place; and in
connection with these memories, the first
thought that rises uppermost in our mind is to
thank-warmly thank-those who came for
ward to befriend us at a time when we so much
needed the confidence and assistance of the
stranger. The prosperity that has attended
our path, and the demonstrations of friendship
which have been so undisguisedly extended
us, bring to our mind the pleasing satisfaction
that we have not proved recreant to the trust
reposedin us.
The present is peculiarly an appropriate Pc
Rod for new hopes and new energies; for all
looks new and promising. We have just got
into our Rew office-the echos of anew dwell
ing tagie strangely in our ears-and we are
about to m a new year, the third in the
existence of our paper, when its prosperity can
be calculated upon with certainty. And now
is the time (most important to us) that old
scores should be wiped out and new ones COM
menccd. Our Reading Room, too, is a new en-
terprise with US, as we'll as a new feature in
Plaquemine, and a few ne,c subscribers to it at
this particular time would not be Objectionable;
ia the meantime, we respectfully ask those who
have not done so, to hand Us the amount Of
their subscription, as we calculated upon the
sum subscribed (but insuficient) to meet the
expenses we have incurred in fitting up the
Room.
Our subscribers, and our friends in general.
may rest assured that no expense or e~xertions
will be spared to add to the value of our paper
as time progresses, and that we shall eyer be
watchful, as formerly, of the honor and inter.
ests of our own and parish and as we shall ev-
er aim to maintain the rights of the people
against the misrule and innovations of high
functionaries, as well as every other descrip-
ton of lawlessness or acts that uproot the
peace of society, we shall not in the mean
time, descend to an exhibition of low slang,
vituperation or spleen. suchra course we
have endeayorred to pursue, and trust the same
countenance and patronage will be continued
to us, which have equally been our pride and
our support.
