The NATIONAL lNTELLIGENCER. MIR. eClingman, of
North Carolina in his late able speech in the House,
has the following just remarks in regard to the
National Inteligencer:
"The gentleman from Georgia. mfr. Stephens I
remember commented upon the course of the Nation
al Intelligencer Now, 1 think that Journal is
faithful exponent of the party allude to- Its regard
for the Missouri Compromise has been assumed on
ly for the present occasion. 1 remember very well
that during the struggle, up to 1850, that paper
never came out for this Missouri line, although the
South battling for it for years; did it once
assert right to occupy the territory in common
with the people of the North clear and ndisputable
as that right was. Its whole weight and influence
were covertly but adroitly thrown against us, and
on the antSlavery side. i never attributed this
to any love of liberty the part of the
ductors of that paper. On the contrary, in every
struggle between liberty and despotism it takes the
side of despotism; in every contest between the
United States and any foreign country, it takes
ground against the United States. Il would be
marvellous if our government were, in fact, always
wrong on every issue with foreign nation. pre-
sume therefore, that it is because is the freest
government upon earth that this journal is always
found taking sides against it and for our enemies.
AS to internal policy it is the faithful organ of
that party which has labored industriously, you
and well know, sir, to destroy all the limitations
of the federal constitution and substitute abso
Lutte central government in its stead. These people
press and the tory party of England and those
republican. They seem to desire no higher honor
than to- have the privilege of adopting and defending
everything which comes from these sources. y

s. An INCIDENT In the Western section of the city
lives man whose name, although stained with no
particular crime is mentioned mostly with horror
for his life, it is said has been continued scene
of wrangling, disorder and strife. Stunned, except
by the vicious, be is deemed nuisance by the So
called yirtnous and good He is poor. In the same
section dWells alnan merchant Of many ships, who
has helped to build up many churches whose name
is prominent in the list of subscribers for the benefit
of the heathens. His name is always mentioned with
praise. This latter, this morning, met on the
street by an aged woman, whsoe battered garments,
and whose emaciated countenance bespoke her an.
object ofreal charit and was nplored by her for
aims. His ear was deaf to the pleadngs Of her me-
cessities and gathering up the folds Of his costly
mantle, lest it should touch the rags of mploring
age, he passed, and thought of his ships, and his
merchandise and his name at the end of list to-
feed the dwellers in isle of far off ocean,. The
other, the Stunned and the despsed was met by the
same woman, and was likewise beseeched for chart
ty The pale face of the pleader her trembling tone
and bowed and broken Frame were glanced at by
him. and the purse of the poor opened and &
the heart Of the need made glad. This needs no !
comment is decidedly as We have termed it an
incident 49, Bait. Times
Envy is a worm which corrodes the breast and
makes those who cherish it miserable because others
are happy
