OLE BUIL.-The following anecdote is
told of the great Norwegian violinlst OF
his first appearance in this country:
After his first concert, when Ole Bull
reached home, he felt cold, coming out Of
OF warm room, and told the servant to
make some fire. The servant rolled I'D
towards the chimney large bale, put up
as wood generally is, and marked with
chalk . ire-woOd." Ole Bull had never
seen 1t before, and asked the man where
he bought it, and was told that it had
been brought by cartman, WHO said he
belonged to woodward, and was told
to Leave 1t there. On opening the huge
package, what was his surprise to find it
contained twenty-five violins and violin
celios, with bows complete . accompanied
by the following letter or certificate:
The undersigned, respectively mem-
berS OF different societies, more or less
devoted to music, hereby declare and at
test, that from the day of the date here
OF, they hereby pledge themselves to fore
20 and abandon all and every species of
study and practice CT the ACCOMMODATING
instruments. These pieces of wood,
which live and breathe under the touch
OF VI. Ole Bull, cannot be considered, in
the hands of the undersigned, as anything
but mere combustibles. They therefore
request NJ. Ole Bull to commit them to
the flames himself, and to regard the
smoke That rises from them as the incense
ofsincerity and repenting devotees to the
divinity of his art" Followed by TWEEN.
ty-twO signatures. Three DAVIS after.
wards, NJ. Ole Bull presided at grand
dinner, to which he invited all the sign
ers Of this extraordinary address. Each
man found the violin he had given up,
hanging at the back of his chair, and to
each was fastened gold ring, on which
was engraved, Solitude and persever-
ance;" by which, in two words, he gent
ly chded them for having been so easily
discouraged, and indicated the secret Of
his own success.

more grave and sober cast. All expected to
see little fun, not even excepting the curious
darkie. The hour for commencing the per-
formances arrived, when the pig, not STRIPED"

Cassisss M. Clay.

Mr.. Clay's Grafton on the Fourth OF Jul
ly, in Chicago, is reported in full by the
Press and Tribune Of that city. As might
have been expected, for this gentleman's
attecedents, he made American Slavery
the text, upon which he poured out, for
full two hours, his burning and imprisoned
eloquence. In the Press we find an alb
stract of Mr.. Clay's position on the slave
ry question; it is as follows:
"The trainers Of the constitution recogni-
zed its existence Slavery for the sake of
securing union, but they designed to make
liberty the rule, slavery the exception
The constitution gives to Congress no pow
er whatever to legislate upon the subject
Of slavery. Therefore, slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia is unconstitutional, as Is
also the fugitive slave law-the particular
clause in the constitution from which au-
thority is claimed for the law being inten-
ded simply to bind the State to give up
"persons held to service and escaping from
one State to another, ''on claim" Con-
gress having no right to legislate upon
slavery, it follows the territorial govern
ment, whose powers are held subordinate
to Congress, have no power to establish it..
Slavery can, therefore, be established only
by the action Of State governments s.
Congress has no right to interfere with
slavery in the States, nor have citizens Of
the free States any more right to make a
crusade against slavery in the states where
it exists, than the government Of the Uni
ted States has to make war against Tur-
key forts Mahommedanism While slave
~ is localised-retained where the consti-
tuition of the Union has recognized it, he
is for the Union, with or without slavery.
But if slavery is to become the predo1nin-
ant power--if it is to be extended to new
territories-then he would rather be a sub
iect of the Gar Of Russia than an uphol-
der of the Union"
Insomuch as Mr.. Clay is a Southern
man, in daily association with shareholders
and full of knowledge of the peculiar in
stitution as it exists in slave states of this
Union, his opinions are Of more weight
touching the moral and social effect of the
blight, than that Of a regiment Of Nor
them Abolitionists; but as to the rights
Of slave holders under the constitution;
and as to the duty Of the people at large,
we should prefer, from our knowledge of
his temperments, some more dispassionate

Every day adds to the gathering proof
that the Nebraska bill is the first, only, Of
a series Of measures, for the supremacy OF
the slave-power in this country and the

who who have overturned an ancient, and,

have set the ball in motion that is, in it's
onward progress, to crush the hopes oflib-
