ODiniOHS of Henry Clay.

On the floor of the United States Ser
ate, in July. 1850, the following words
were uttered by Henry Clay:
Now, Mr.. President, I stand here in
my place meaning to be unawed by any
threats, whether they come from indi-
viduals or from States. I should de-
plore as much as any man, living or
dead, that armies should be raised a
gainst the authority of the Union, eli
ther by individuals or States. Bnt, af-
ter all that has occurred, if any one
State, or portion of the people of any
State, choose to place themselves in
military array against the Government
of the Union, am for trying the
strength of the Government. (Applause
in the galleries.) I am for ascertaining
|, whether we have a Government or not,
practical, efficient, capable of maintain
ing its authority and upholding the
powers and interests which belong TO
the Government. Now, sir am to be
allayed or dissuaded from any such
course by intimations of the spilling of
blood. If blood must be split, by whose
fault will it be ? Upon the supposi-
ton, l maintain, it will be the fault Of
those who raise the standard of Disun-
ion, and eudeavor to PROSTATE this Gov
ernment; and sir, when this is done, so
long as it pleases God to give me a
voice to express my sentiments, and 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
support of the general authority, and
for the maintenance of the powers of
this Union. (Applause in the gale
ries.)
Nearly year later, in answer to the
inquiries of friend, in letter dated
Ashland, May 17th, 1851 he writes !:
You ask me what is to be done if
South Carolina sccedes I answer un-
hesitatingly, that the Constitution and
Laws of the United States must con-
tinue to be enforced there, with all the
power of the United States, if neces-
sary. Secession is treason, and if it
were motif it were legitimate and
rightful exercise of power, it would be
a virtual dissol ution of the Union. For
if one State can secede, every State may
secedc, and how long, in such state of
things, could we be kept together p
Suppose Kentucky were to secede?-
Could the rest of the Union tolerate a
foreign power within their very bosom?
There are those who think the Union
must be preserved and kept together
by an exclusive reliance upon love and
reason. This is not my opinion. |
have some confidence in this instrument
tality; but, depend upon it, that no hu-
man government can exist without the
power of applying force, and the actual
application of it in extreme cases. My
belief is, that if it should be applied to
South Carolina, in the event of her Sc
cession, she would be speedily reduced
TO obedience, and that the Union, itstead
of being ,ss'e wcastaa9ea, sa9a .yould acquire addi-
tional strength ..---. +

A Rochester merchant left his house
one evening recently, to correct an er-
ror in his trial balance His wife fol-
lowed him, and found that it required a
carriage to find the error. She took
vehicle likewise, and pursued to deep
hollow There the driver of the first
carriage was hailed to stop; the wife ran
to its door, and opening it, found the
handsome and richly dressed error in
side. The account was Immediately
squared, and the balance struck.

CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.

Young men beware of the perncious indul
ccnce and lmost fatal injury you inhct upon
your constitutions, by evil examples and the
morbid influence OF the passions
How many young persons do we daily behold,
whose countenances and debiiitated constitutions
depict disease arising from that horrible ana oe-
vastating vice.
1t could be shown how attenuation OF the
frame, palpitation of the heart, arrangement OF
the nervous system, cough, indigestion ana
train of symptoms, indicative OF consumption,
aro often ascribed to wrong causes, when In re-
ality, they are the consequences OF an aiiurlng
and pernicious practice alike destructive TO the
mind and body. ----.-------.r,--.....
You who have brought this affictf6h .P6R
yourselves, why embrace the secret to your
hearts and vainly attempt to cure yourselves,
instead of making mm ediate application to q
skillfull physician, who in n short time, would
restore you to perfect health and save you from
exposure which the fatal consequences render 1T
envitable.
Nss- DR.. Smith gives his special attention to
the treatment of this destructive malady. Pa
tients cap be cured Mt home by addressing let
ter to Dr. Smith, describing symptoms, and re-
ceive medicine securely packed from observation
forwarded by express or otherwise to any part
of the country.
N. B.-Persons afflicted with any of the
above com plants will do we'll to avoid doashn5
impostor8 whether foreign or native, as also the
numerous Societies advertised as certain cure
for ey cry disease. These preparations are put
up to sell and not to cure. and often do more
harm than good, therefore avoid them.
"a word to the wise is sufficient"

DOCTOR SMITH

TTAS for many years devoted his whole atten
lltion to the treatment of private complaints,
in all their varied and complicated forms. HIS
great success in those long standing and diff
cult cases, such as were formerly considered in
curable, is sufficient to commend him to the pub
lie as worthy of the extensive patronage which
he has received. Within the last eight years,
Dr. S, has treated more than 29,50O cases of
Private Complaints in their different forms and
stages practice which ne doubt exceeds that
of all the physicians now advertising in Balti-
more, and not a single case is known, where di-
rections were strictly followed, and medicine ta-
ken at reasonable time, without .fecting rad
ical and permanent cure; therefore, persons at
licted with diseases of the above nature, "no
matter how difficult or long standing the case
may be, would do we'll to call on DR.. SMITH,
at his office, No. IL, South Frederick Street.
The afflicted should bear in mind that DR.. S.
who is the only regular physician advertising,
has for many years devoted his whole attention
to the treatment of this class of Diseases.
His medicines are free from Mercury and all
mineral poisons put up in neat and compact
FORM and may be taken in public or private
mouse, or while travelling, without exposure or
bindrance from business, and except in cases of
violent Inflammation, 40 change OF dietls neces-
sary.
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when aflic-
ton overtahcs them, that no time should be lost
in making application to competent phyilclan,
as thew would not only obtain relief from pain
avoid modification through exposure and elude
great constitutional injury, but enable their
medical assistant to be moderate in his charges
than he could justly be, where symptoms have
become confirmed or the disease more widely
diHused. Tho rapid advance OF this truly ter
rifying disease, is sufficient to alarm the boldest
heart. When liberation and discolored Plotches
with racking pains, betray to the unhappy VIC
tim the deadly poison preying upon his vltals,
then, land not till them" do many awake to
full sense of their danger.
