ed his CLOSING remarks on that daY.
In despair of its success, he attemp-
ted bold if not an honorable diver
sion in its favor. This was done by
ain effort to divert attention from the
denominations ofhis pet to something
little more aboninable. South
Carolina and one of her most gifted
sons, were the objects he selected for
that purpose. Upon them he pour
ed out the yials of his wrath--char-
ging that they were traitors to the
Union, and threatening the former
with, and hoping the latter would
meet traitors doom. Yes, he threat
ened South Carolina with the sword
of Kentucky, and hoped that MIR.
Rhett might be hung with its hemp;
not because either had refused obe-
dience to the Constitution; but be-
cause they were not willing 10 bow
down and worship the Union. Nei-
ther MIR. Clay nor his abolition al
lies, have any love, any veneration
for the constitutions which has stood
as barrier, though a feeble one, be-
tween them and the consumation OF
their hopes. 1t is not treason in their
eyes to trample that instrument un-
der their feet, TO violate its provisions
and 10 disregard its positive mjunc-
tions. Oh, no. But let those who
love and yenerate it, but express
their determination to maintain it, as
il was made by our fathers, and then
the cry of treason is heard. Treason
against what! not the Constitutions
No, but treason against the Union.
We understand that our Senator
rcpcllcd promptly, and with much
force, this uncalled for attack, in
doing which, he informed Mr.. Clay
that treason against the Constitution
was equally rs criminal as treason
against the Union. We hope Mr..
Clay will profit by the lesson, and
that before he draws the sword TO
punish Southern traitors against the
Union, he will punish all traitors
against the Constitution. If he will
do this, he will find an ample market
for his hemp without coming South
of his own Sta:c.-Chcraw Gazette.
The Nepaul Ambassador, now in
London, affords many interesting re-
lations for the press of that city. The
following are among the rest:
The Prince, It's said, went TO
review, in Hyde Park, London, and
was SO delighted with the rapid move
ments of the ca'alry, that he express
ed an anxious wish, at the close of
the review, heldin the park last week,
to purchase one of the regiments
On It's beingnotilied to his highness
that such sale was quite out of the
question, he then begged leave to
present the officers and men of the
regiment he was so desirous to buy
with Gl0o0 10 drink their healths!
OF course this second request was as
inadmissable as the former.
Tho Ambassador being present at
Lomlcy' grand fete, desired to be in
troduced TO CarIotta Grisi, with
whose dancing nc had been enctiant-
ed at the Opera House. The lady
was presented, and the Prince made
some remark, which, on being trans
lated, was found TO be, that 'he did
not know her with her clothes on
LIFE IN JAMAIcA.-A pleasant
writer i'll the Boston Daily Journal
thus sketches matters and things in
Kingston, jamaica:
The city is on The south side of the
island, protected by an arm of land,
which curves i'll front Of it like sick
le. This is a coral reef. covered
with mangroye and palm trees, and
forming a safe and beautiful harbor.
Whenyo firt enter the city, the dill
apldated houses that present them
selves, and the old, dingy brick gar
den walls, the unpainted dwellings,,
and the sandy, unpaved streets,
which meet the eye as you advance,
give 1t dcsolate appearance. But
when you know more of what is
within these walls, all unpleasant
prepossesslons are removed.
The gardens are crowded with
fragrant trees and shrubs. The
houses are neat, cool and spacious.
The floors, of hard wood, are polish
ed; the sea land breezes find free en-
trance through the open doors and
windows, and the people, if you
come to them with introductions of
the right sort, are exceedingly kind
and attentive.
Some ofthe customs here are ne
