American Naval AnecdOte.

/ When Macdonough was first Lieu
tenant of the Siren, under command
Of Captain Smith, circumstance
occurred in the harbor of Gibralter,
sufficiently indicative of his irmness
and decision of character. An
American merchant brig came to an
chor near the United States vessel.
Macdonough, in the abse1 ice Of Cap
tain Smith, who had gond on shore,
saw boat fros1 a British frigate
board the brig, md take from her a
man; he instantly manned d and armed
his gig, and pursued the British
iboStt, which he overlook just as it
reached the frigate, and, without GER
mony, looked the imprisoned man
into his own boat. The frigate boat
was twice the force of his own; but
the act was SO bold as to astound the
Lieutenant who commanded the
press-gang, and no resistance was Of
tered. When the affair was made
known to the British captain he
came on board the Siren in great
rage, and inquired how b dared to
take a man irorn h his boat. MacdO-
nough replied that he was an Ameri-
can seaman and was inder tba nro-
lection of the flag of the United
States, and that it was HIS duty to
protect him. The Captain with
yolley of oaths, swore he would bring
his frigate alongside an q sink her.
''That you may do,'' said Macdo-
nough, "but while she swi ims, the man
you will not have"
The English Captain told Macdo-
nough that he was a young hair
Drained fellow, and would repent Of
his rashness. @Supposing sir said
he, 81 had been in the boat, would
you have dared to have committed
such an act?" II should have made
the attempt at all hazards" was the
reply. "What, sir!' said the En-
glish captain, "would you venture to
interfere were to impress men fro m
that br!g?' "You have only to try
it" was the reply. The English Of
ficer returned to his ship. manned
his boat and made way towards the
brig; Macdonough did the same; but
there the affair ended; the English
beat took a eircuitous r1 ute and re-
turned to his ship. There was such
a calmness in the condu ct of Lieu
tenant Macdonough, sue b a solemni-
ty in bis language, such a politeness
in his manner, that the British officer
saw that he had to deal with no or
dinary man, and that it was not pru-
dent to put him on his metal

CHAPTER TX.

Day after day rolled on-glpr3 3ous
days for Henry Arden and Mary
Henderson. Their souls floated
away down the track of time onIgold-
en- dreams to T'green fields and fairy
land" Their language was poetry,
their looks were love. The busy
world around them-with its gossip
and its fooleries, its sorrows and It's
dreams was forgotten: the lpud
roar of the eternal Babel was hushed
in the sublime echo of their own
hearts. They rambled, they rode,
they hvea in each oth hers company.
Time of their union was appointed,
and the course rolled on in sunlight.
Garlands and sweet flowers decked
in poetry the brow Of the fat ure:
And the rose bleomed again on the
fair cheek Of the maiden, and a wing
Joy Lit up her laughing eyes-those
eyes that wandered ever with a timld
glance to the animated countenance
of her loved; and when Ardea met
that tremulous glance, and read the
it conveyed, he felt that
the clouds had rolled away from his
destiny, and he was blessed. He
looked upon his Mary with her sylph-
like form and angel face, and he
dreamed not that danger awaited her,
or that there lived a wretch who
could harm being SO pure and SO
lovely as her! And SO the plot
thickenedi and the cloud gathered,
and they knew it not.
1t is needless to say that Al rden
had become the lion of the village.
And he who had been scoff and a.
by-word in that would-5d aristoera attic
town, was now the observed of ali
observers" Many were the sunny

There's the difficulty replied
Bob. There is but one chance, and

A Few Words ONLY.

! We Democrats are abused because
We think it proper to speak of the.
adjustment measures as truth de-
mands. We thinkit the best policy
to lay the truth before our people
that they may better estimate the.
sacrifice made in the South to pre-
serve the Union. The Wings think
different. They ike to glorify the
compromise. Now for the purpose
of refreshing their recollections we
will quote from the express ed opin-
ions of their greatest leader :
On the 22d of July, 1850, Mr..
Clay in speech delivered in the
Senate, said:
Senators from the Northern
States may go home to their eonstit-
uents after Tbs measure shall have
been passed and say: The North
gains the admission of California as
"a free State. This assure. Sac is
dedicated now and forever to that
free-soilism which you so much prize
"The North avoids the introduction
Of slavery by tLeauthoritv of Congress
in New Mexico and Utah-and ds Id
our opinion the lee locs excludes sla-
very from the Territories, it is high
ly probable they vii. both rerl5iu and
become free Territories.
The North has New Mexico de-
tached from Texas with high de-
gree of probability that she will ulti-
mately become, as before stated, q
free State.
"The North secu res the abolition
Of the slave trade in the District Of
Columbia. Are not these objects
of sufficient magnitude to satisfy any
moderate, rationals Northern wish?
What concession Of P5wer and Autk6r-
ity IS made By the Norih2 ~ WHat
rights are sav1fced2 TELL Me If
THE NORTH DOES NOT GET
ALMOST EVERYTHING AND
THE SOUTH NOTHING BUT
HER HONORI'
And yet the wings of Tennessee,
headed by Judge Campbell, say that
the compromise secured the South all
her rights and yields nothing ofprac-
teal importance to the North. Mr..
Clay thinks different. He believes
with Gov. Trousdale that the South
lost every thing, but her honor.
What says Mr. Webster Daniel, the
God-like-the Atlas upoA whose
broad shoulders all whigghry re-
poses? What says Mr.. Webster Of
the comparative loss and gain2 In
his speech Of the 18th July, 1850,
he said:
"As to the territorial acquisition.
I am 6o,u1d in cunaor to sdy. that
taking Maryland for example as ono
of the South, Maryland will gain ext
actly what Massachusetts, loses, that
is nOthiqg at aA"
Yet when We 81 y the samb thing
we are called disunionists. When
Gov. Trousdale expresses the same
opinion, HE is denounced as adis1nion-
-st, although, from his attach lmant to
the Union, he is willing to endure
the wrongs inflicted upon tho South
Which is the best patriot, Coy Trous-
tale, who loves the Union so ardent
y that he sacrifices his convictions
of injustice and right to al 4 in it's
Derpetuity; or Judge Campbell, who {
makes no sacrifice IN approving Of it,
because he regards it as q triumph
