MIR. Webster and Mr.. Clay.

twill be remembered that at the recent
annual meeting of the American Colonization
Society held at Washington, Daniel Webster
occupied the Chair, in the absence of the
President of the Society, Mr.. Clay. Mr.. Web
sler, on taking the chair, addressed to the
meeting the following touching remarks in ref
erence to the cause of the absence of Mr. Clay
"Gsntlemen of the American Colonization
Society: There is not only no member Of this
Association, but also no citizen of the country,
who does not lament, and no one more deep
ly laments than / do, the cause to which it is
to be ascri5ed that have been called upon
might to occupy the chair of this Association.
The eminent, the distinguished. will say the
illustrious fellow citizen of ours, who was one
of the early founders of this Institution, who
has for SO many years manifested sense OF
its importance and his zeal for its success, is by
continued illness deprived of the opportunity
not only of being here to night, as President
of the Seciety, but also has been, and still is,
prevented from exercising his usual salutary
influence in the councils of the country.
Gentlemen, it ;s now many years since this
society was for@ed, and organized, and put in
to operation by the eminent persons of whom
he was one His opinion of its usefulness his
zeal fer its advancement and prosperity, his
continued care to be present at the time Of
meeting, is known to you all; and / am sure
that there is nodeeper sympathy in the heart
or feelings of any one present than that Prov
idenee in his wisdom may see fit to restore
him to his accustomed ability of patriotic SER
vice in the national councils, and deVrted care
to this institution.
Let US, gentlemen. implore the throne Of
Grace and Mercy, not only for his restoration
in health but for the usefulness and prosper
itY Of this institution"

Editorial PeFtinacity.

The following dialogue once occurred in an
editors sanctum in England. A distinguish
ed editor was in his study. A long, thin, land
ghostly visaged gentleman was announced
With an asthmatic voice, but in tone of civil
ity, for otherwise the editor would have trans
6xed him with a fiery paragraph the next
morning, the stranger said:
Sir, your journal yesterday contained false
information
Impossible sir, but tell me to what you al
lude'
You said that Mr.. H. had been tried
True
Condemned
Very true
Hung
Most true
Now sir. am the gentleman himself
? Impossible
4 assure you it is fact; and now / hope
that you will contradict what you have al
legged
BY no means sir
'How-what do you mean? You are de,
ranged
1t may be SO sir, but will not do it.
i will complain to magistrate
AS you please; but never retract The
most that can do for you, is to announce that
the rope broke and that you are now in per
feet health. IhaEe my principles, sir; new

Young Men and The Sabbath.

"Let no young man disregard the Sabbath.
The moment he sits his foot on Gods holy day
his moral principle is gone. his self-respect is
diminished, and one great barrier in the way
of his dSwn course TO ruin is removed. He
must find some occupation on this, his only
leisure day He salies forth in search of a.
musement. He meets with others, in pursuit
ofthe same object, who. to secure it, have made
havoc OF conscience and principle, and among
them are not wanting adopts in wickednesss
Having broken over restraint, others readily
give way before him, and he falls an easy prey
TO the destroyer. 1t would be next to miracle
if he should be rescued from ruin.
But this process is not confined to the city.
Show US the young man any where who dsre-
CARDS the holy Sabbath, and we viii show you
the young man that is on the high road to ruin.
All the good influences in any community clus-
ter around the Sabbath; and all the evil int1u-
enees concentrate among Sabbath breakers.
Pause then, young man, before you presume
to tramplc on Gods holy day; in so doing you
tread under foot Heavens richest blessing,
and invite all the enemies of the human soul,
to combine your destruction. Turn away thy
foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure
on Gods holy day. New York Observer.

The Effect of Virtue,

II is The peculiar effect of virtue to make
mans chief happiness arise from himself and
his own conduct. A bad man is wholly The
creature of the world. He hangs upon faver,
lives by smiles. and is happy or miserable, in
proportion to his success But to virtuOus
man, success in worldly undertakings is but
secondary objeck To discharge his own part
with integrity and honor, is his chief aim. If
hs has done properly what was incumbent on
him to do, his mind is at rest; to Providence he
leaves the event. His witness ia in Heaven
and his record is on high, satisfied with the
appreciation of God, and the testimony of
good conscience, he enjoys himself. and despi-
ses the sriumphs Of guilt. In proportion as
such manly principles rule your heart, you will
become independent of the world, and will for
bear complaining of its discouraGements. 1t
is the imPerfectun Of your virtue which coca
sions you to be weary in well doing. 1t is
because your heart remains divided between
God and the world. that you are SO often dis
contsnted-partly wishing to discharge your
duty. and partly seeking your happiness from
something repugnant TO your duty. Study to
be more consisten. in principle, and more uni
form in practice, and your peace will be more
unbroken.-Dr. Blair.

EF Since Tifin city has conceded to FIRE.
mont the palm Of having the protest women.
other little villages have commenced putting
in their claims for that honor But it won't do 4;
there is but one Fremont, consequently there
is but one town that can boast of having real
beautiful women. The following extract is
from the MaUmee Rirer Times
"If there is any probability of the editors of
the Fremont Freeman and Seneca Advertiser
getting by the ears as to the beauty Of the
ladies in their respective places, and as TO
which place In Christendom shall bear off the
palm, we would suggest to them to come
Through the BLACK Swamp and visit Maumee
After visit here they will no longer consider
the matter a 'vexed question: Maumee a.

That's rather cool for black swamp edi-
tor the complexion of whose women is pro-
verbal for partaking of the color of the muddy
waters of the Maumee. But for "cool impu-
dence" and "wilful deception" the following
extract "out bangs" every thing that has en-
mated from these ''small fry" towns We cut
lished in little town named Findlay, located

mont and Tifin city are and have been for a
long time laboring to decide which have the
best looking girls. Of course both parties
claim the bellies. We hope we don't intrude,
but we have an idea that in comparison with
the girls ol Fndlay, the lassies of the aforesaid
towns would be as a stnnted to full blown
rose. Now don't pOut, boys-don't"
Brag away, little fellows. if it does you any
good. You shan't be hurt
The editor of the Psrrysbnrg Star, like a
sensible man, as he is. gives up the point at
issue, without argument, but is evidently much
riled that such sheuld be the fact by his i'll
natured fling at US. Hear him:
"The Fremont Freeman says, that in Fre-
mont there are none but beautiful women, We
suppose not. nor men either, vide the editor
of the Freeman!"

The LAWS

This week we commence the publication Of
the laws, but how many we shall publish is
uncertain, for the Legislature has not yet dis
posed of the resolution providing for the re-
peal Of the law authorizing their publication
in the newspapers. Our readers, however.
will do well to preserve their papers from this
number, for We cannot believe the Legislature
will be silly enough to repeal one of the wis
est and most bsui6Gent laws ever passed by
that body. ..-.

Unavoidable Accident.

We are happy to assure our friends of both
parties that the destruction Of the State House
was not chargable to neglect, but was purely
unavoidable accident and misfortune. The
House ofRepressntatives of had nine and theSen-
ate had eight sergeants and assistant sergeants
at-arms-making in all, seventeen persons
whose business it was to take care of the fires
run of errands. and do up chores generally. All
these, in addition to sleUen messenger boys,
were selected with reference to honesty, cspac-
ty and fidelity to the new Constitution-and if
any one is inclined to suspect that these were
not enough to take care of one building we beg
leave to express our firm conviction that more
would have been employed if any use for them
could have been found or imagined. No blame
attached to any one. Journal

GOVERNOR BIaLER's IEAUGURAL.-Ths doc
ument will be found on our first page. 1t is
feeble production. Some great questions are
passed over in entire silence, while what he
says on other matters is SO made up of gener-
alities and trte truism, so utter pointess, that
he might as well have said nothing. His re-
marks upon the currency are but rehearsal
of platitude that we had become Obsolete, and
if we understand him Alright, he is opposed to
modification of the tariff Towards slavery he
is entirely "Ioyal ;"and goes the full length for
the compromise measures. To this We shall
make no objection at present but, as Pennsyi-
vanians, we feel somewhat belittled at having
the Governor of the State clameriDg for the
repeal of Just and humane law, which five
years ago received the unanimous vote Of a
Legislative body Of which he himself was
a member
Had this address appeared in the shape Of
an ordinary newspaper article, it would moi
have been deemed worthy of perusal; and
even its official character will scarcely secure
it any attention. 1t will leave no impression
upon the public mind other than feeling Of
modification. Plttsourgh Gazette'

Washington, Feb. 7.


Judge Mclean has delivered the opinion of
the Supreme Court, in the Wheeling Bridge
case; it is, that the bridge is an obstruction to
tie navigation of the waters of the United
States; and that such obstruction is violation
of The common rights to navigate these waters,
and is, therefore, unconstitutional Justices
Taney and Daniel dissented from this decision,
and subsequently read contrary opinion
Reverdy Johnson suggested 10 the Court tina.
it remained to be decided whether the bridge
should not be continued, if its construction
should beso altered as to permit vessels to pass
without hindranee or delay. The cousel on
the part Of Pennsylvania stated that if the court
would entertain This opinion, be would wish to
be heard in relation to it; to which Mr.. Justice
Wayne remarked, that as one of the majority
ofthe Court he was of the opinion the ques-
ton must be decided by a suit
After some further conference, the court
stated that the point would be taken into con-
sideration.
On reading the above, we infer that one
point is decided. and only one: viz. that the
bridge, at it as constructed, is in violation of
the right TO the free navigation of the river
Even upon this point there does not seem to
be nnanimnity, Justices Taney and Daniel hav-
ing delivered dissenting opinien. 1t is still
an open question, remaining TO be determined,
whether any bridge can be built over naviga-
BILE waters without being liable to a constitu-
tional objection. Com. Register.
