CLAY'S RESOLUTIONS.

To-day we publish Mr Cay's Rcsoutlons.-
The "tather Of compromises" is again on the turf;
but far better had he retired while laurels Of hon.
orablc glory pressed his brow-whcn iorcettlng
sell, free from renegade principle, and all ONCE
seckinr mania, he stood forth The proud champion
OF nations rights. No pean of praise will lind
an echo in the patriots heart for him who has thus
,lastardy bIolcd, by his late acts, from the rich
tablet OF his life, the glorious acls of better days,
that rendered the name of Henry Clay watch
word Of America
The first resolution, it will be observed, endor-
ses the ruinnus and fallacous doctrine of the Pre-
sdent relative to the admission Of California The
second starts with the utterly false assertion that
"slavery does not exist in any Of the territory ac-
quired by The U. States from Mexico" and con-
cludes with the same endorsement of the Prcs-
dents recommendation.
lis resolutions likewise refer to slavery in the
District of Columbia, and their effect, in that re-
spect, if carried out, would have the same bearing
ON the District that the Wilmot Proviso would on
The Staes-that is, render slavery worthless, and
eventually destroy it.
Mr. Clay seems to have mana for comPro-
misses, but the South has too much at stake to Gra
tfy his desire at the present for compromised
fame. What has the South to gain from COM
promise! We will give p case in POINT. Suppose
you and Jour neighbor had fields joining-he was

for the transaction Of ordinary business. This day
has been set apart and hallowed as day Of rest,
and man has no right to ar!oJate to himself more

to pursue the same routine OF business on the

His remark seemed to summon her TO

nature of domestic strife, foreign inter-
ference is seldom welcomed by either
party.
"No, sir" she replied, 81 had as
good husband as ever lived, and he
was always very temperate man. He
was member Of the temperate society.
My husband was carpenter, and work
as hard as any man, but he never took

POETRY
A Beautiful Picture.
BY J. G. SAVE.

"Ahl we'll mind me Of child,
A gleesome lovely hisid,
Who came with constant step to church,
In comedy garb arrayed,
And knelt her down full solemnly,
And patiently prayed.
" And oft when church was done, marked
That little maiden near
This pleasant spot, with book in haad,
As you are sitting here
She read the story of the Gross,
And wept with grief sincere.
"Years rolled away-and beheld
That child to woman grown,
Her cheek was fairer, and her eye
With brighter lustre shown;
But childhood's truth and innocence
Were still the maiden's own.
g / never rang inerrier peal,
Than when, joyous bride,
She stood beneath the sacred porch,
"A nObie NOuth Deoiut,
And plighted him her maiden truth,
In maiden love and pride.
81 never toll'd deeper knell,
Than when, in after years.
They laid her in the church-yard here,
Where this low mound appears
(The very grave, my boy, that you
Are watering now with tears y
g II is thy mother gentle boy,
That claims this tale of mine
Thou art flower whose fatal birth
Destroyed the parent vine
A precious flower thou art, my child
Two lipes were giren for thine!
Gone was thy sainted mothers, when
She gave thee mortal birth,
And one thy Saviol's, when in death
He.shoolS the solid earth:
Go! boy, and live as may beft
Thy life's exceeding worthr'
The boy awoke as from dream,
And thoughtful, looked around,
But nothing saw, save at his feet
His mothers lowly mound,
And by his side that ancient bell
Half hidden in the ground!
