speaking powers-the style of each different
but each a first class speaker in the branch oI
oratory to which he belonged. They may be
read with profit by those who would wish to
form an idea of the style aud power of these
eminent orators. Manner, and all that is com.
pretended under the head of delivery, is a diff.
ferent attribute !; and there Mr.. Clay had all
advantage, which is lost in transferring the
| speech to paper. -....-.-- -, a.
Some of MIR. Calhoun's characteristics OF
manner may be seen in these lspeeches. He
escheWed the studied eXordiumS and perora-
tions once so much in vogue, and which the
rhetorician's rules teach how to make. A few
simple words to announce the beginning, and
the same to show the end of his speech, was
about as lie did in that way ; and in that de-
parture from custom he conformed to what
was becoming in q business speech, as his gen
orally were and also to what was suitable to
his own intellectual style of speaking He
also eschewed the trite, familiar, aud unparlia-
mentary mode (Which of late has got into
vogue) of referring to a senator as "my
friend" or the distinguished" or "the elo-
quent," or honorable" &c. He followed the
written rule of parliamentary law, which is
also the clear rule of propriety, and referred
to the member by his sitting-place in the Sen
ate, and the state from which he came Thus,
" the senator from Kentucky who sits farthest
from me ;" which was g sufficient designation
to those present while for the absent, and for
posterity the name Mr.. Clay would be put
in brackets. He also addressed the body by
the simple collective phrase, " senators )" and
this was, not accident or fancy, but system,
resulting from convictions Of prOpriety /; and
he would allow no reporter to alter it.
Mr.. Calhoun laid great stress upon his
speeches in this debate, as being the Vindica-
tion of his public life and declared, in one of
his replies to Mr.. Clay, that he rested his pub
lie character upon it, and desired it to be read
by those who would do him justice. In JUS
tice to him, and as being a vindication of sew
eral measures of his mentioned in this work,
not approvingly, place is here given to it.
This discussion between two eminent men,
growing out of support and opposition to the
leading measures of Mr.. Van Buren'S admin
istration, indissoluby connects itself with the
passage of those measures and gives add-
tional emphasis and distinction to the era of
the crowning policy which separated bank and
state-made the government the keeper of its
own moaey-repulsed paper money from the
federal trcasury-iilled the treasury to burst
ing with solid gold and did more for the
prosperity of the country than any set of
measures from TIE foundation of the govern
mcnt.

MARCH d.
BY WILLIAM C. BRYANT.

The stormy March is come at last,
With wind, and cloud, and changing skies
hear the rushing of the blast, ...-.r.- ..-
That through the snowy valley flies.
All, passing few are they who speak,
wild stormy month in praise of thee
Yet though thy winds are loud and bleak,
Thou art a welcome month to me. aEE
For thou, to northern lands again, .
The glad and glorious sun dost bring,
And thou hast joined the gentle train,
And wearest the gentle name of Spring.
And, arty reign of blast and storm,
Smiles many long, bright, sunny day,
When the changed winds are soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the blue of May.
Then sing aloud the gushing rills
And the full springs, from frost, set free,
That. brightly leaping down the hills,
Are lust set out to meet the sea.
The wears departing beauty hides
OF wintry storms the sullen threat;
But. in thy sternest frown abides
A look of kindly promise yet.
Thou bringst the hope of those calm skies,
And that soft time of sunny showers,
When the wide bloom, on earth that lies,
Seems of a brighter world than ours.

a HAPPY lIoNE-In happy home there
will be no fault-finding, no overbearlng spirit
there will be no peevishness, no fretfulness.-
UukindneSs will not dwell in the heart or be
on the tongue. Oh, the tears, the sighs, the
wasting of life and health, and strength and
tne-of all that is most desired in happy
home, occasioned merely by unkind words
The celebrated Mr.. Wesley, remarked to this
effect, namely, that fretting and scolding SEEM
ed like tearing the flesh from the bones, and
that we have no more right to be guilty of this
than we have to curse, or swear or steal. In
perfectly happy home all selfishness will be
removed Even as Christ pleased not him
SELF" so the members of happy home will
not seek first to please themselves, but to
please each other.
Cheerfulness is another ingredient in hap
py home. How much does sweetness ema-
mating from heart filed with love and kind
ness, contribute to render a home happy
How attracting, how soothing is that sweet
cheerfulness that is borne on the countenance
of wife and mother How the parent and
child. the brother and sister, the mistress and
servant dwell with delight on those cheerful.
looks, those contiling smiles that beam from
the eve, and burst from the inmost soul of
those who are near and dear.
How it hastens the return of the father
lighteas the care of the mother-renders it
more easy for youth to resist temptation and
drawn by the cords Of affection, how it indu-
ccs them with living hearts to return to the
parental roof.
O, that parents would lay this subject to
heart that by untirins efforts they would so
far render home happy, that their children and
domcstcs shall not seek for happiness in for
bidden paths

The discovery of the open Circumpolar
Sea appears to have been made BY Rus
sian officer thirty years ago. This was 1t
WrangeI, who, somewhere about the year
1924, advanced by sleds across the ice from
the northern coast of Siberia, due north to
the open sea. Lieut.. (now AdmiraD Wran-
gel took frequent soundings during the trip.
and found the water shallow, with mud
bottom. The climate became more moder-
ate as be made northing. According to his
estimate of his position at the margin Of
the polar ocean, he must have been near ths
parallel of 80 degrees north. on which DR..
Kane was when he saw the same sea. al
most on the opposite side Of the pole. 1t.
Wrangel concealed provisions in the ice as
he advanced, which he cut for supplies on
his return. The party slept in lodges warm
ed by a spirit lamp. which also cooked their
meals. Their sufferings were not as great
as those of the land parties that have gone
out from the British exploring ships.

luded to the American party, in speech
the ether day, on bill referring to the reeu-

ballot box:
''Time does net now permit me, Mr..
Speaker, nor is this the proper occasion to
enter upon the defence of the principles Of
this great party, (the American) / shall
eagerly avail myself of that opportunity at
some more appropriate season Of the session.
The secrecy at which gentlemen seem to be
so much panied, has been removed. thank
God. | may be permitted to say, as mat
ter personal to myself, that while good rea-
sons can be given for the adoption of this
plan of secrecy. it was never agreeable to
me; and further | may say, that though I
was not able for sometime to announce the
fact of my connection with it. l never availed
myself of any evasion to conceal it. That
party at no distant day would prevail. The
great heart Of the people was fully touched
and fully aroused It had proved its faith
in the doctrines of that party. by various and
wonderful manifestations. He believed that
the great mass of his countrymen would be
found standing on the platform of conserva-
tive principles. which that party had pro-
claimed. From the teeming cities the peo-
pie were coming up to attest their feality to
those principles the hillsides. and the
cabins, and the green pastures, were they
coming in myriads to the American banner.
and when they had acquired the power to
reward and punish-when they had reaped
the rich harvest of victory-they would re-
member those who had deserted and opposed
them in the struggle, and bartsred away their
cause for temporary advantages"
