RECEIPT FOR BLACKBERRY WlNE.-As
this is the blackberry season, we publish
this receipt for the manufacture Of this
wine:
"Thcre is no wine equal to the Llackber-
ry wine, when properly made, either in fla
vor or medicinal purposes, and all persons
who can conveniently do SO, should manu-
facture enough for their own use every
year, as it is invaluable in sickness as
bowel disease. We therefore give the re.
cipe for making it, and having tried it our
selves, speak advisedly on the subject:
Measure your berries and bruisc them,
to every gallon adding on quart of boiling
water. Let the mixture stand "a hours,
stirring occasionally; then strain off the
liquid into a cask; to every gallon adding
two pounds Of sugar; cork tight and let
stand till the following October, and you
will have wine ready for use without fur
ther straining or boiling, that will make
lips smack that never smacked under SINH.
lar circumstances before. It may be i'm
proved, and, perhaps, will keep better by
adding a small quantity Of pure French
brandy"

Henry Clay.
1t is the boast of some of the Republi-
cans Of the present day that they were
once "Clay Whigs," and some of them
grew so vain as to attest that if Mr.. Clay
were now living he would be identified
with the Lincolnites. To dissipate this
little libel on the character and opinion Of
the Sage of Ashland, We publish below an
extract of one of his speeches in the Sen-
ate. 1t will be seen that Mr.. Clay took the
identical ground for which Mr.. Douglas is
now battling, and that he also consented
to abide the decision Of ''the highest judicial
authority" where differences of opinion
arise as to the power of the people or their
Territorial representatives. If the Democ-
recy with Douglas are wrong, then was
Mr.. Clay bad guide on this agitating
question. If Mr.. Clay was right, his ad-
mirers should vote for him who sustains
the views of their former chief:
Ertract from debate betneen Henry Clay
and Jefferson Daris, May Is, 1850.
MIR. CLAY-I do not understand the Sen.
ator from Mississippi as proposing that if
any one shall carry slaves into the Terrific
ry-although by the laos IF a Trritory
he cannot take them-thc Legislative hands
Of the Territorial Gorernn,ent should be
so tied as to prevent it saying he shall not
enjoy the fruits of their labor. If the
Senator from Mississippi means to say
that
DR.. DAvIs-I do mean to say it.
Mr.. CLAy-If the object Of the Senator
is to provide that slaves may be introduced
into the Territory contrary to the ler loci,
and being introduced, nothing shall be
done by the Legislature to impair the rights
Of owners to hold slaves thus brought, !
certainly cannot vote for it.
While I am willing to lay off
the Territories without the Wilmot Proviso
on the one hand, or without an attempt to
introduce a clause for the introduction Of
slavery into the Territorics-while am for
rejecting both the one and the othcr-I am
content that the law shall prevail, and If
there be any diversity Of opinion as to it,
am willing it shall DO settled by the
highest judicial authority of the coun-
trY.

The Old " higs are Coming.

The Hon. William Duer, formerly Whig
member of Congress from New York, and
who ranks foremost among the eminent
men of the country, has written letter
which is published, in which, while avow-
ing his own preferences for Mr. Bell, he
very candidly acknowledges the noble po-
sition of Mr.. Douglas, and the importance
Of aiding his friends to secure victory in
the coming contest. Here is an extract
from his letter, which We especially COM
mend to the notice of all old Wings:
To Mr.. Douglas am bound by no asso-
e;~tions Of tho pact am separated from
him by them. But If have any prejudi-
ces against him, then it is in spite of that
prejudice that his public career for the last
appreciation, sympathy and respect. The
ability, courage and mistaken will which
he has displayed in defence of the Consti-
tuition and the Union, are such as no man
could surpass. Standing alone in the Sem
ate chamber, assailed from all quarters by
open enemies, by alienated friends, by base
rivals, and by treacherous Administra-
ton, he has so borne himself, that those
who hate are forced to admire him. What
avails it to talk Of past errors, or stir the
ashes of old hosilities! A man of tense
must recognize facts and submit to neccs-
sites. regard Douglas as a necessary in.
strument to accomplish great purpose
Circumstances have placed him in the po-
sition, and Nature has given him the quail
ties to do the work, and there is no other
man who can do it. By and through him,
and by and through him only, can q
great national party be formed and main
tanned.
