JANIS B. CLAY-About the most Inundated
and degraded tnan in the nation is the person
whose name stands at the head oTthis paragraph.
On the occasion of the serenade Ofthe President
on Friday night, by the Democracy of Wash
ington, in honor of the passage Of the Kansas
bill, Mr.. james B. Clay appears to have been
present at the White House, in pleasant and
confidential cnntab with the reckless and unpFiu-
ciplcd caiumniator of his illustrious father Be
ing called upon for speech, \ matter of
course, he commenced thus:
old time, my name vas Omen associated with this
White House. where stand. Those times have
Toy passed and there y nothing TO be realized b Oad

What a spectacle! \ son Of Henry ClGy
standing on the steps Of the White House, and
Boosting of lis being ian humble follower ia
the ranks of party that prosecuted his glorious
old father through life, and hunted him with
bloodhound malignity to his gravel Standing
there, too, the guest, the counsellor, and the
supporter of the man who had done more than
all others together, and that, too, by the baseSt
SANDER and calnmny, TO defeat the honorable
ambition of his father, and prevent his elevation
to that very White House from the portico of
which his recreant son has the shaHelessneSS TO
aVow himself ian humble follower in the ranks"
of his father ) bttereSt and most implacabie
enics. Really, we have rarely heard Of any
spectacle in late days, so humilating and so
voting. Can it bc that Mr.. James b. CLAY is
destitute of even the semblance of sensibililyf
II would seem So, and we believe it is so. He
has neither reverence nor respect, and has re-
gard for his f,ther's name and memory only in
far as he may be able to prostitute both to
his own personal advantage. We both pity and
deSpise a man so fallen, so degraded, so lost TO
tiiial reverence and to sclf-respect.
We suggest To Mr.. James b. Clay thnt, having
changed his politics aud leagued himself with
his fathers enemies, he would do just aud
creditablc thing to change his name. The name
he bears was rendered too glorious and too illus
,rious by the father to be allowed to be tarniSh-
cd and dishonored by tie shameless renegadeisn
and rccrcancy of the son. Let him change it,
or else, like the first Of traitors, let him go
out and hang himsclE"--Richmoad Wig.

DAVID Paul BRowN on LEcoMProS.-Thc fol-
lowing letter from the Hon. David Paul Brown,
of Philadelpl,ia, was written to a member of Con-
gress who had sent Mr. Brown, under his frank,
a speech made in favor Of the admission Of Kan
sas with the Lecompton Constitution:
DEAR SIN: have received your speech in
favor of the Lecompton Bill, and it certainly
manifcsts no inconsiderahlc ingenuity; indeed
ingenuity was iadispc"sa5!s, for according to
my view, there never was = more Ubiquitous bill
proposed to Congress. | cannot draw the dis
tinctinn between personal and national justice !;
and tell YOU plainly that if owned an entire
Southern State, and all the slaves it contained, /
would vote with both hnnds against the cause
and course you have in this instance adopted.
Very respectfully yours
David Paul Brown.

ADVERTISING AGENTS. - After an expert
ence of nearly FIVE years in publishing a
newspaper, we have come to the conclusion
that it is best for a western publisher to pay
no attention whatever to any advertisements
coming from the eastern cities unless they
are from responsible agent or unless the
party offering to advertise is known to be
responsible. In nearly every instance where
the publisher takes the advertisers word for
his pay he gets nothing else.
Among the advertising agents with whom
we have long been transacting business and
whom we have found prompt and honorable
gentlemen are s. NJ. PETTENG1LL & Co.. of
New York, c. II. soRlvEN, formerly Seriv-
en- & Gallagher,) Chicago: j. S. Posr and J.
E. DuDDERlDGE, Successor to W. S. Swym-
mer,) st. Louis. There are others in each
of these cities perhaps equally as RESPONSE
bic, but we assure our contemporaries of the
West that they may rely upon those we have
named.
If we were publishing a paper which
required its advertising columns to be i" FL
led up" we would much rather publish as
standing matter the Declaration of Indepen-
dence or some other patriotic document
than the deceptive advertisements of quack
doctors and nostrum vendors, with which
most country papers are filled, and which
ore worse than IS dnud m after ,,

DEAD LETTERs.-A large proportion
of the valuable letters reach the dead
letter Office through the fault of the wri-
ters-either on account of misdirection,
illegible writing, or neglect to prepay
the postage. The prompt return Of
valuable dead letters to the owners
would be greatly facilitated if the wri-
tiers would, in all cases, observe the
following evidently necessary rules -
Never mail valuable paper or parcel
without a letter accompanying it in the
same envelope; always state at the
head Of the letter the proper post Office
address of the writer, and also of the
party addressed, and sign the full name
of the writer, legibly, at the close. The
last rule is frequently disregarded by
persons Especially ladies) writing to
their relatives or friends !; presuming
the letter will certainly reach its desti-
nation, they sign only the initials or
christian name, and give no address,
Postmasters should, in all cases, stamp
or post-mark letters legibly, for it is
frequently the only clue to ascertain
where the letter is written or mailed.

MENTAL ExcITEMENT.-Bad news
weakens the action of the heart, OPP
presses the lungs, destroys the appetite,
stops digestion, and partially suspends
all the functions of the system. An
emotion OF shame Pushes the face fear
blanches it; joy Eliminates it; and an
instant thrill electrifes a million Of
nerves. Surprise spurs the pulse into
gallop. Delirium infuses great ener-
gy. Volition commands, and hundreds
Of muscles spring to execute. Power
full emotion often kills the body at a
stroke. Chic, Diagoras and Sophocles
died Of joy at the Grecian games. The
news Of a defeat killed Philip V. The
door keeper of Congress expired upon
hearing Of the surrender Of CORVALLIS.
Eminent public speakers have often
died in the midst Of an imprisoned
burst Of eloquence or when the deep
emotion that produced it suddenly sub
sided. Largrave, the young Partisan,
died when he heard that the musical
prize for which he had competed was
adjudged to another.

The WEATHER.-When you wish to
know what the weather is to be, 60 out
and select the smallest cloud you can
see, keep your eyes upon it, and if it
decreases and disappears it shows q
state Of the air which is favorable to
fair weather but if it increases in size
you may as well take your great coat
with you, if you are going from home,
for falling weather will not be far of.
The reason is this when the air is be-
coming charged with electricity, you
will see every cloud attracting all less
ones towards it till it gathers into q
shower. And on the contrary, when the
fluid is passing off or dlffusing itself,
even large cloud will be seen breaking
to pieces and dissolving. l.s3 aG

FLORENCE +" GETTING NO BETTER FAsT.'-
The Davenport Democrat of the 1st inst.
says:
"Now here we are, on this first day of
February, 1855 and Florence instead of be-
ing upon a good basis, has been allowed
to depreciate from par to about Is cents on
the dollar. Our people have large balances
on hand, and C. & S. resolutely refuse to
relieve them
"Our merchants may be considered to
blame for trusting in the promises of G. &
S., but otherwise they are not at fault they
confded, not wisely, but too WE'LL Their
creditors must cast the blame in the proper
place, which is at the door of the marble
Banking House of Q. & So
A correspondent of the Democrat, writing
from Desmoines under date of the Goth,
tells how it &C goes'' out west:
"Florence cataplasters, l find, depreciate
in proportion as you limit the distance
between the points of issue and circulation
-cmphatically distance lends enchant-
ment.' found it at 80 cents on the dollar,
in Sioux City-no sales, and on the road
still worse-some entirely refusing it, while
others would accommodate you with grub at
one dollar the single sitting, payable in
Florence paper. In Desmoines it is not ia
ken at all, except in very rare cases. In
Florence it has no longer habitation or
recognition-it is non est inventus'
The following from the Democrat of yes.
terday shows how Florence is answering
'sall the purposes of traffic and trade" even
in its native city. In contrast we would
state that pork and wheat are daily coming
to this market, and notwithstanding the
large amounts Of good money already paid
out by our dealers for these articles this
winter there is enough left to buy what may
yet be offered:
"TnE REsuLr.-There 10 no pork coming
to Davenport this winter. Why? Because
farmers are unwilling to receive wild cat
for hogs. Very little wheat has been coming
in lately for the same reason. We are sor-
