President Pierce and Mr. Buch-
HnIn

We see by some of our Pennsylvania exchanges
that Mr.. Pierce has became awfully savage to-
ward the democracy of that State, because for
sooih, the Democratic State Convention, which
assembled at Harrisburg in February, dared, un
animonsly, to recommend Mr. B lchanan for the
Presidency. 1t was Certainly high handed piece
OF inpud'nce in the democracy of Pennsylvania
to express a preference for her own iaverite son
over the New Hampshire General. 1t is said
that he has declared that il he cannot himself re-

men will long thus recall him to mind.
But not alone in this his more private character
does woman arrr. ciate the excellence of Dir. Clay.
His public life in many of its asrecss had all the
romance of chivalry He stood among the orators
and statesmen of his time Philip Sidney among
his cottinI orary kings and bafons. History has al
ready placed his statue in the pantheon OF Immortal
ity
Our country's records Of the purchase of Louis-
lana (this lovely land of the sugar and nagno-
la) to the great pacificaon of 1850 are vitalizsd
by his glowing words. The mighty Mississippi,
uIon who margin now stand, bears III all Its wa
tiers full remtInl rance OF his carly forts to give
freedom TO its commerce, and to biaId lis miihon
streams into mighty land of union and prosperity
for our glorious country
The fame of Henry Clay never die. As our
most gifted Southern Toct has said:
Long mid our gallant great and good,
Like Washington, he noiy stood;
While trembling on his burning tongue.
Truth, Justice, peace and freedom hung.
Thrice when our storm tossed ship of State
{ Seemed sinking with its priceless freight,
His guardian slirit, firm and free,
| Walked DER our troubled Galhlce.
! Through all the world his glorious name
Is whispered by the lils of fame;
For long in every kindling zone,
His voice was freedoms Dugle toneI
The Greek girl, kneeling by her seas,
Deemed him new Deu.osthencs
And young Bolivar's patriot ray
Was light-likc caught from Henry Clay.
How appropriate then is it that memorial of ,hiy
model statesman, patriot and orator, should be cree
ted here in the crescent bend of the Mississippi.
Not far off rises the scuptured image of his grea
rival conn atriot the was the sword and shield
the other the mind and the tongue of the country
Side toy side they stand in the teuld of fame.
Glorious in their lives, let the noblest of the fin

influences which the beautiful IN art always exert

The statue of Themistocles long greeted from

A New Slave Trade.

A new and horrid feature Of slave trading
has recently come to the knowledge Of the
public. It is that Of Kidnapping Cinnamon,
bringing them to the West Indies, and South
American States, and selling them. They
cost from fifteen to twenty dollars per man
and sell for two hundred and fifty. As near
" as can be ascertained this practice is car
ried on to an alarming and incredible extent.
Vessels from nearly every important port Of
Europe and United States, have been char
tered for the business, and many persons Of
high standing in our seOboard cities, are se-
creily parties to these infamous ouuages.
The New York Journal OF Commerce pub
fishes letter from Swato, China, in which
the writer says that his ship which was about
to sa il, had on board seven hundred; and-ex-
pected to take two hundred more. These
poor beings are kidnapped on their native
soil, and forced on board the slave ships
Here they are compelled to endure hard :
ships and priyations which are heartsicken.
ing to relate, Crowded together IN the hold
of the vessel, with unwholsome food, impure
air, for days and weeks, their situatioa can
be better imagined than described. Hun
dreds sometimes die during the passage.
Slave trading on the coast OF Africa, is re-
garded by our laws, the same as piracy
1t scenes to US that this Coolie trade is an
equally heinous offence and ought to be
treated in the same way. When men leave
the ordinary channels of commerce, to en-.
gage in traffic SO inhuman, traffic condem-
ned by every principle OF sound morality ant
every noble impulse Of humanity, they ought
to be regarded and treated as the enemies
of government and society.

o. The statistical tables of mortality
shows reduction inthis country of the pro-
portion Of deaths from pulmonary diseases.
Doct. Aver attributes this result to the ef-
feet of his Cherry Pectoral. He also asserts
that the cures from his Cathartic Pills give
reasonto believe they will, as they come in-
to more general use, materially reduce the
mortality frem those particular diseases for
which they are designed. From what we
know of his preparations, we think he has
grounds for his claims, and If he has, it is
an attainment of which an Emperor might
