CLAY and THE OPPOSITION.

democracy has become thoroughly
abolitionized in the north, the
press in its interest has persisted
in attempts to establish the belief
that the principles Of the great
Commoner arc rigidly adhered to
by those advocating Republican,
ism. This question may be pro-
ftably examined by every citizen
of the United States. We do not
claim to have ever advocated the
general measures and policy of
Henry Clay, and neither did the
people, but upon the question of
slavery he never differed materi-
ally with the democratic party
or the people, hence the reason
why his personal friends became
identified with the democratic
party, leaving the old 1Vhig party
without an organization when the
general policy of the democracy
was acquiesced in and the slavery
question became the all absorbing
one in issue. In 1850 the agita-
ton that the 1Vilmot proyiso had
caused, and the bitterness engen-
dered in its discussion, had become
so yirulent, that Henry Clay, in
the true spirit of patriotism NOV
ed and obtained a committee of
thirteen, Of which he was chair
man, and upon which was associ-
ated with him the purest intellect
and the most yenerated patriotism
Of the nation. This committee. in
the course Of it's deliberations,
agreed upon, and reported to Con-
gross a series of resolutions that
received the sanction of every
member Of that body not known
to be in some manner identified
with the abolitionists of the coun-
try. Prominent among this Sc
ries of measures, may be cited the
Fugitive Slave bill; and further,
it is a noted fact, that this mea-
sure received the direct and un.
qualified endorsement of both the
wing and democratic parties in
1852. The following is section s
of the wing resolutions, adopted
in 1852, and concurred in by Clay
and endorsed by the entire body
of the American people.
The series Of acts of the XXXIst
Congress commonly known as the Com
promise or Adjustment (the act for the
recovery of fugitives from labor inclu-
ded,) are received and acquiesced in by
the Wings of the United States as f.
nal settlement, in principle and sub
stance, of the subjects to which they
relate; and so far as these acts are con-
cerned, we will maintain them, and in
sist on their strict enforcement, until
time and experience shall demonstrate
the necessity of further legislation to
guard against the evasion of the laws
on the one hand, and the abuse Of their
powers on the other, not impairing their
present efficiency to carry out the re-
quirements of the Constitution; and we
deprecate all further agitation of the
questions thus settled, as dangerous to
our peace, and will discountenance all
efforts to continue or renew such agita-
ton, whenever, wherever, or however
made; and we will maintain this settle
ment as essential to the nationality Of
the Wing party, and the integrity Of
the Union. sa..

His Honor delivered an able and eloquent charge

upon n question of so vital an Importance as the

The Future of Hungary.

writer in the Paris Monde, In an article on
the state of Hungary, aud the intentions OF the
Austrian Government with respect to the ad.
ministrative organization of that country, seems
to think that any attempt at insurrection on the
part of the Hungarians, even if successful,
would not profit them much, on account of the
impossibiity of the various races in their terri
tory ever amalgamating together. The arti-
cles says: rJ. ae
"Placed between Germany and Russia, Hun
gary, with her half Hungarian provinces, con.
tains war.like population of 100000 souls.
She would perhaps be strong enough to defend
Ind even to agrandise herself if her inhabi-
tants formed a nation united by the ties of Ian
guage, religion, manners and traditions but,
though this population may perhaps temporari.
ly coalesce against foreigners, they are inca
pable OF effacing by rapid fusion, ten centu-
ries of separation. During the last few months
several Croats, Slavacks, Servians, Wallachi-
ans and Germa, have fraternzed with the
proud Magyars, whom they combated in 1s4S.
There is nothing surprising in that-.such scenes
are to be witnessed wherever the European re-
volutionary idea psnetrates; but there would
be great naivete in deducing from that circum-
or Wallaehian peasants are about to learn the
Magyar language; that the Schismatic Greeks
Protestants, Roman Catholics and Jews of Hun
gury will form an homogeneous egglomeration /;
and that the Infantry of the frontier regiments
will entertain the same sentiments as the hus-
sars of the Hungarian plain. IfHungary were
10 free herself from Austria, Russia would easily
divide the Sclavonans and the Maya 9 who
are almost equally numerous and would aFfer
wards crush the Magyar race by throwing into
the balance The Russian sword, Joined to the
arms of the Servians and the Roumans. The
dream of an independent Hungary, peacsable
ia The interior and strong abroad, cannot then
be realized; it can only enter the cracked heads
of the revolutionary tacticians, whose efforts
end, by exciting excessively the pride of ma.
tions, in thrusting them beneath the yoke of
despotism. If Hungary ceases to be united to
Austria, she cannot fail to become German or
Russian"

A BRUTAL AcT-A Man Pulls Horses
Tongue from its Mouth - The Troy Times
of the 22d instant publishes the account of
brutal act perpetrated in that city on Monday
last, by man named Thomas Downing. 1t
appears that Downing's team were in the cel-
lar-way, pulling at heavy load of stones or
dirt. They refused to draw, when Downing,
in a momentary fit of passion, stepped to the
head of ore of the animals, and opening it's
mouth, caught hold of the tongue and pulled it
out At least three inches of the tongue was
pulled of, and the piece was left lying for some
time afterwards on a stone--it being witnessed
by quite number of people. The story of the
cruelty twas rapidly circulated, and gentle
man went to have the passionate man arrested
under the statute furnishing with severity such
cruelty TO dumb beasts. Downing followed
him to the Detectives Office, and begged so
hard to be let off, that the gentleman did not
care to press the matter further, though it is
probable that the man will be arrested, since
all agree that something should be done to
punish him for his unnatural crime. Downing
states that be did not mean to pull the tongue
out, but only took hold of it in order to make
the horse draw. He says he has seen other
people do so, and had no idea the tongue
would come off He thinks the bit cut it in
the first place, so that with the strain of his
pulling it separated from the mouth. The
animal belongs to him, and will probably have
to be dispatched, as it will be impossible for
the poor beast to eat hereafter.

has been to Springfield:
"Lincoln received US with great, and to me,

New York, and brought with rae an impression
of his awkward and ungainly manner; but in
his own house, where he doubtless feels him.
self freer than in the strange New York cir
eles, he had thrown this off, and appeared easy,
if not GRACEFUL. He is tall, lank man, with
a long neck, and his ordinary movements are
unusually angular, even out West. His con-
versation il. fluent, agreeable and polite. You
see at once from it that he is a man of decided
and original character. His views are all his
own such as he has worked out from patient
and varied scrutiny of life, and not such as he
has learned from others. Yet he cannot be
called opinionated.
One thing Mr.. Lincoln remarked which I
will venture to repeat. He said that in the
coming Presidential campaign he was wholly
uncommitted TO any cabals or ciques, and that
be meant to keep himself free from them, and
ffsm all pledges and promises.

world resting calmly beneath the humble roof
of the unprepossesing tenement of the west,
simply because he had witnessed the form of

CURIOUS CAsE.-In the Common Pleas of
Luzerne county, last week, somewhat singu-
lar case was tried. The administrators of the
estate of Elisha Harris had offered his effects
at public sale. Among other things was an
uncouth block of wood, supposed by some to be
part of cheese press, but the true character
and object of which was unknown. David M.
Hutmacher bid it off for fifteen cents, and laid
it out against the fence until night, when he
carried it home. Subsequently be determined
to crafty his curiosity, and accordingly split
the block open, when he discovered queer se-
cret drawer opened by the pressure of long
rod, and containing bonds notes, and other mat.
ters, besides about $4,000 in gold and silver
coin. 1t had long been conjectured that mo-
ney and other valuables were secreted some
where about the premises. An amicable suit
was brought for the contents of the block, to
test the question of rightful ownership. Ver-
dict for the executors, $4,500.
