n6- The subjoined extract is from a
speech which Mr.. Clay delivered in the
Senate in 1850, in reply to Mr.. Dawson
of Georgia:
"Now, Mr.. President, I stand here
in my place, meaning to be unawed by
any threats, whether they come from
individuals or from States. 1 should
deplore as much as any man living or
dead, that arms should be raisedagai
the authority of the Union, either by
individuals or States. But, after all
that has occurred, if any one State, or
a portion of the people of any State,
choose to place themselves in military
array against the government of the
Union, I am for trying the strength Of
the government. am for ascertaining
whether we have government or not
practical, efficient, capable of main.
tanning it's authority, and Of upholding
the powers and interests which belong
to a government. Now, sir, am to be
alarmed or dissuaded from any such
course by intimations of the spilling of
blood. Ifblood is to be split, by whose
fault is it? Upon 1.-THE supposition, I
maintain it will he the fault of those
who choose to raise the standard of dis
union, and endeavor to PROSTATE the
government; and sir, when thatis done,
50 long as it pleases God to give me a
voice to express my sentiments, or an
arm. weak and enfeebled as it may be
by age, that voice and that arm will be
on the side of my country, for the sup
port of the general authority, and for
the maintenance of the powers of this
Union,"

4 Story Of Con. jackson.

A Story Of Cen. Jackson.
A correspondent of the Tribune tells
this story: A prominent gentleman in
this State told me, on unqnestionabfe
authority, reminiscence Of tho days
of notification. It seems that Gov.
Letcher, of Kentucky, who sympa-
thized with the nullifiers in 1882, ca4-
led upon Gen. jackson to learn, Il
possible, what the General intended to
do towards crushing Calhoun's conspf-
racy against the Union. The Govern
or opened the subject mildly, and Jacks
son only answered by telling Letchex-
to read certain instrument of writing
on the table before them. Letcher
read it, and found it to be warrant
for the execution of John G. Calhoun.
"But, my dear General, you don't in-
tend to carry out what this paper calls
for?"-"Gov. Letcher, is my name
signed to that papcr?" Yes, General,
it is" "Very well, Governor; it is
very seldom sign papers merely for
effect. Governor, look on the left Cor
ner of the paper; is the seal of the
United States to it," cit is, General"
Gov. Lctcher visited Mr.. Calhoun
after he left Gen. Jackson, and awake
ming him out of his sleep, related to
him his interview with Gen. jackson.
Gov. Letchcr alleged that Mr.. Calhoun
assumed the appearance of ghost,
when he heard what Gen. Jackson in
tended to do, and notification lost all
its venom from that hour. Gen. jack
son said on his death bed that he only
had one thing to regret, and that was
that he had not hung John G. Calhoun.
D9~ OF all positions in life, none is
more difficult and thanklcss than that
Of editor of newspaper. His express
ed sentiments are constantly liable to-
be misconstrued, and his motives to be
misrepresented. While the limited
financial resources of his enterprise
compel him to attend to the duties Of
business manager, solicitor and collect
or, his mind is kept on the rack day
aud night to satisfy the ever returning;
cry for copy. Great things are expect
ed of hun; plenty of reading matter;
original and select, looked for; all the
news relating to the interests of the
comparatively few patrons such u pub
lication has, confidently expected.
And, what is worse than all this,
many people would deprive the unhap:
py man Of til 1t which is granted to the
most humble laborer or mechanic
freely to express his own opinion. He'
must only Observation-Disclosures graf:
ify every personal opinion put up, with
all that is for the moment the rage;
have not word to say against what by
chance happens to be the hobby-horse'
Just then and there, but like Aaron in
the wilderness, dance around the gold
en- calf which men in all times and in
all positions will make for themselves,
and cry aloud with the mass: "These'

The Society Of Woman.

No society is more profitable, be-
cause none more refined and provoca-
tive of virtue, than that of a refined
and sensible woman. God enshrined
peculiar goodness in the form of wo-
man, that her beauty win, her gentle
voice invite, and the desire of her fa-
vor persuade mems sterner souls to
leave the path of sinful strife for the
ways of pleasantness and peace. But
when woman falls from this blessed
|eminence, and sinks the guardian and
'sherishcr of pure and rational enjoy
ments in the vain coquette and the
idolator of fashion, she is unworthy of
an honorable mans love or sensible
mans admiration, but is then, at least,
but
-"A 49, a.! pretty r. plaything-
We honor the chivalrous Difference
which in our land is paid to woman.
1t proves that our men know how to
respect virtue and pure affection, and
that our women are worthy of such
respect. Yet women should be some-
thing more than mere women to win
us to their society. To be our COM
panions, they should be fitted to be
our friends to rule our hearts, they
should be deserving the appreciation Of
our minds. There are many such, and
that there are no more is rather the
fault of our own sex than their own;
and despite all the unmanly scandal
that has been thrown upon them in
prose and verse, they would rather
share in the rational conversation Of
men ofscnse than listen to the silly
compliments of fools; und man dis
honors them as we'll as disgraces HIM
self when he seeks their circle for idle
pastimc, and not for the Improvement
of his mind aud the elevation of his
heart.
