owing to his rotations, found himself quite inca
pable of counting it-uhconsciously muttering to
himself he held her wrist, "Drunk, very drunk.

APREsENT TO Henry CLAY.-We learn from the
National Infeiiigsncsr that splendid wrought
watch, seal, and key, have been presented to the
Hon. HENRY CLAY, by Messrs. Peckham, Dennis
& Co., manufacturing jewellers, of New York.
The seal is made OF gold, and after the design of
the beautiful picture entitled Henry Clay at Ash
land" This picture, it will be remembered, rep
rescnts the distinguished statesman sitting beneath
tree with hat and cane in hand, and his favorito
dog sitting by his side. All of which is most faith
fully carried out by the designers of this delicate
piece of workmanship. The base of the seal is
formed of handsome comedian stone The key
represents broken branch Of tree, and harmo.

PoLiTIcAL BARrER.-It appears that the Demo-
cratic and Free soil parties in Massachusetts have
divided the patronage of the Government by a spe
cial and not very creditaole bargain. On the prin
ciple that half loaf is better than no bread-and
neither party being able to appropriate the whole
loaf-the following "dicker" has been consum-
mated:
"The Democrats to have the Governor the
Lieutenant Governor, the State Treasurer five mem
bers of the Executive Council and the United States
Senator for the short term. The Free sellers take
the Senator for the long term, the Secretary of
State, the Auditor, four Councillors, and the Ser
geant alarms"
The whole arrangement was made in caucus.
Such arrangements are generally made in caucus
they could not be made anywhere else. The chat
fering of the political chapmen who made the trade,
must have been very interesting. We can fancy
how they haggled over the long Senatorial term and
the short one-how they proposed to swop State
Treasurer for brace Of Councillors-how the Free
soil end of the beam tilted up when the five Coun-
cilors were pitched into the Democratic scae--and
how the equilibrium restored by throwing in
an Abolitionist Sergeant alarms. We should be
glad to know what the people of the State think Of
the transaction, and whether they sent the members
of the Legislature to Boston to vote honestly and
manfully in accordance with their conscience,
dispose of the Commonwealth by traffic.
