A GEM.-In the mass of verhiage which
usually characteriZes The Congressional Ie-
bates, there are occasionally found some of
the brightest jewels. The following is the
remark Of Mr.. CLAY. in allusion 10 Mr.
Benton's declaration that he would agree
to no compromise on the admission OF
California:
"There are, no doubt, many men who
are verv wise in their own estimation. who
will reject all propositions of compromise.
but there is no reason why a compromise
should not he attempted to be made. 90
for honorable compromise whenever it can
be made. Life itself is but a compromise
between death and life. the struggle con>
tnuing through our whole existence, until
the great DESTROYER finally r7umphs. All
legislation, all government. all society, is
formed upon the principle of,nutual con.
cession. politeness. comfy, courtesy; upon
these, everything is based. bow TO you
to. day because YOU bow 10 ne. You are
respectful to me because am respectful to
you. Compromise ia peculiarly approprl-
ale among the members Of Il republic. as OF
one common family. Compromises have
this recon- me njaiion. tha, il you concede
anything, you have something conceded TO
YOU in return. Treaties are compromises
made with foreign Powers, contrary TO
wha, is done in a case like this. Here, il
you concede anything, it is to your own
brethren, to your own family. Let him
who eleyates himself above humanity,
above its weakness, ITS infrmitles, its wants.
its necessi,les. say. il he pleases, ! never
will compromise, but let no one who is moi
above the frailres Of our common nature
disdain compromise"

PUBLIC MORALS.

The state of the public morals is
bad-the tendency Of the times is
downward. Why is it so? Labor is
not respected, and men seek to obtain
their living by their wits or their
wlckcdness, and not bv their hands.
Once it was not so. Everybody was
industrious. A drone was as singular
"a being, in our highways and market
places, as white frican. Few had
soft, white hands. IIushandmen drove

bors tol'cd at some mechanical pur.
sui. Then people were happy. You
seldom heard of 4 suicide. or an un.
fortunate gentleman. OF gentlemen
Il ere were none-excepting few
well fed and fat paupcrs-and these
were not respected by the people.
Now what must he done to restore
the morals Of the people? Labor and
Iaborlng men must be respected. A
mechanic must be considered as hon.
orahIe rs a professional man. Our
sons must learn to work in some shape
or another, and be taught that he is
the best man. and does the most for
the world. who works. that the spong:
er or the drone no matter what his
education or talents may be-is q
curse 10 society. If our young men
arc made to believe that labor is hon.
orabe. and leather apron is no dis.
grace, the morals Of the public will
a! once begin 10 improve-we shall
hear Of less in,emperance and vice,
and fewer police reports will disgrace
the columns of our newspapers.-

Habits OF industry would at once

Lazy drone, what will you do to
