One cu d, raw November tiif;lit, in the year

versity; but all that 1 r. me tuber of the poetry

"And if your name be ccrtainiy John Nutt
"Why then, the devil crack youl"
One pleasant Sunday m. ruing Mackav went
to church by times, i.K.k Ins seat in a central
pew, j i-t under the shadow oflhe pulpit, and
sat bolt upright with his anus extended with
an apparent degree of unnatural rigidity down
by Ins sides. He was presently surrounded
by half a dozen females, nearly all rf whom
were strangers to hi person, and in a little time
the church was lull to overt!, iwinj. The psalm
was sung, the prayer was .aiu, tue terruon de
livered m tl e preachers best style. He dwelt
particularly on the requirements of the great
nrcrepls of brotherly love, upon the b mtv ot
universal benevoience; on the pleasure which
arrises not only from clothing the naked and
k-edingtl.e hungry, but from at'ention to the
minute and gracelu! courtesies and charities
ef life, by which the thorny pailis are sofieneil
and adorned. In the language of the critic, in
such matters, 'there w.i n it a dry eye in the
place; ihe appeal found its tray to even heart.'
AH Mackay'a immediate neiglTbors were een
sib'y affoe'ed; he wept with thm; the big
irars chased each olher down Ins cheeks.
But while every one was busy with their han
kerchiels, wiping aw ay the water that the ora
tor, like a second Muses, had, by the strokes of
his eloquence, caused to gush from their flinty
hearts, Mack held Ins arms i tiff and siraight
while half a glass of liquid suffused Ins face.
Ho wriggleil, fidgeted, looked contused and in.
terestnig, but raised no band, searched for no
handkerrlncf, and seemed to be in deep dis
tress. At kngth a young widow lady, who
sat hesidetiim, remarked that he was nl at ease
and (Heaven bless the female heart! it always
melts at any mysterious sorrow) after one or
iwouownca.-itouktana nuttaring pauses, she
said in an under tons,
"Pray, sir, is there nythirtgib matter with
you.' You appear lo be uaweli.''
"Ah, madam," breathed Mackay, ma whie
per, l am a poor paralysis, and have 1 t the
use of my arms. Though my tear have flow ed
in answer to the touching aentiments ot the
pastor, I havo not the power to wipe them
away."
In an instant a fair band was thrust into a
reticule.and a white handkerchief, scented witn
otto of roses, waa applied to Mackay ' eye.
The fair Samaillan seined to rejoico in this
first opportunity uf practising what had been
so recently preached, ajiiein'd to polish them
with right g od will. When she had done,
Mackay looked unutterable obligations, but
whispered that ihs wou.d increase them a
thousand liild if the would, as it wanted it very
murli, condescend to wipe bis noe. The nov.
elty of Ihe request was thought nothing ot,
the widow w u proud of the preoiptilus she
had displayed in succoring the oeistressed, and
to a per on who had done one kind action, the
second seems always easy. Her white band,
and still whiier handkerchief, were raised to
Mackey'a cut water, but the raoneut it was
completely enveloped in the folds of the cam

head, and with H'e other b.'gan searehin his
coat, pocket for I a g ovt's! Thoujh tho un
kmdest cut ofall was yet to come, for Mackay
having drawn them on, and otwni'd the new
door, turned, and put this question in a tone the

A.v Editor. The business of an
editor who ailenijits to give to his
readers something new evury day of
publication, we hulieve is generally
uiideriated, especially hy the more
learned ot in: rakind. They think it a
very easy mailer lo write for a newspa
per. Let them try it. Let some of
our ablest man or women, make the
attempt lo write for us, one singjo ar
ticle each day, without fail an article,
mind, which ihcy ihall not hesitate to
put thuir name, to, and let the worM
know it i theirs. Wo verily believe
that tiiey would find it no easy matter.
Yet such is the position (if an editor.
With only a modicum of brains, per
haps, ho must not write one article but
a hall a dozen; an 1 what is more and
worse too, his name goes out attached
lo them all. Really, the public should
judge charitably of an editor's efforts.
It would be strange if he never said a
silly thing very itrange if he tmver
said an unwise one passing strange if
he never said an erroneous one. His
opinions of transpiring events are ex
pressed hastily, lro.uenily on the spur
olthe momnnt, belore time is given
for thorough examination, and the
wonder is, that they are so uniformly
such as their authors are willing; to
s'ai.'d hy after nnture deliberation.
Bankrupts. We unders'.and that
General Brow n, alias, Gen. Whiskers,
has in some of '.lie upper counties spo
ken in contemptuous terms of the Whig
candidates because some of them hav
ing availed themse'ives oflhe bankrupt
act. Ptow, this tnny be all rtnt, but
it comes with exceeding bad grace from
General Brown, who, as we are in
formed, settled some lorly thousand
dollars upon his wife, and lives in
splendor, who :s as trimly dressed as
a dandy in Broadway on Spring-day,
while executions agiinst him are re
turned ".Nulla Bona." Before he
speaks in contemptuous terms of bank
rupts had be not as well pay the poor
man who furnished him with a splendid
supper, at which he pledged his friends
in Champaign, on his receiving his
nomination for Congress in lSitO.
That supper debt he has not paid at
yet, though made in IS39 and furnish
ed by a man who earned a livelihood
hist slimmer by watering the streets of
Jackson, lie is a nice man to sneer
at bankiupta who have given up their
ill and begsin the world again, and
who, notwithstanding their di-t barge,
in bankruptcy, conliiiue to liquidaie
their debts, while) l e keeps nearly all
he ever bad by a selilentent upon his
wile, and will not even ihen pay his
debts. Canton Creole.

In the hlsto-y or Politicians there are. few
individual, whose whole live nrmwilso bean
nful a study as that uf HENRY CLAY.
Kiom boyhood 'O the present time, he has al
ways et.ssj fort's a prominent and fa thful ad
vocate "f the ri.-h;s of the people, at the same
tuns ihai ha hs e ver descended to the c'ap
trap toff e,j i.ili ev,,lued by Demairouea to
obtain their teiii,. .: iry good will. His public
acta have always bc-n based upon principlt ;
and he has eve: looken to the u'uie for his re.
wan), instead of sacrificing his ju.lg.ncnt and
bis convictions of right, to the passions and
impulses of the passing hour. Willi no other
object in yew than tho welfare of the wholo
country and the genera! proserity of the peo.
pm, .r- t-i.it i uaa always aetop-.-ii the most
eulnrgcd and staloinao-liko view, nf mrr
subject of general importance which has come
uekire the Country.
The correctness of this remark so is ad
mirably illustrated by the collection ef speech.
es now before us. Mr. Clay first took hi,
seat in the Senate of tke L'uited Slates in liuti.
men iwenry-nine years oi ago j and from that
period to the present thirty even years-his
wholo life has been devoted to his country, and
presents a beautiful consistenc never before
exhibited in the life of a promineut politician
and statesman. In 18o7 be made hie fi'st
great speech in t!io enate;and the suhict
of it was Internal improvements. In Hli he
made his first great apc-ecli in favor of the en.
eouragement of Domestic Manufactures ; anj
wo neea uot say w un what persevering enor
gy he has coriiinued his advocacy of those
two gicat measure, from that pvri..d to the
present time. There w,e noi hmg in the pos
ition ofKenlucky, which prompted Mr, Clay
to advoca'e tho encouragement of Domestic
Manufactures ; but he plainly saw that it could
not fail to b benelicial to the nation at lr,.
and therefore, as a national mi-aMim it com
mended itself to his consideration. And thus
through his whole life, ho has alwavs' laken an
enlarged view of every great quotiiion which
na ci er ik-cu presented lor digousslon, and ut.
terly refused to advocate or oppose any nicas.
ure from mere local considerations, One ol
his but acts in the Senalo was to vote in fa
vnr of t.'ie liankrupt Law, against tho wishes
Ihe pr. jud.ces.and the instructions ol the State
he represented, simply because it would, in
his judgment, prove beneficial to tho country
ai largo j and should, therefore, be sustained
oy every statesman liavinc in view the hrnefit
of the w hole people.
It is this peculiarly national trait in ihe char
acter and history i.fMr. CLAY.which renders
mm so universally popular from Maine lo
Louisiana. hen Mr. Vam Unnrv'. chan
ces lor thn Presidency are spoken of his popu
lariiy in Ins native S.ato and New Hampshire
are referred to : Mr. Calhoun is siinnmed to
be an available candidate, because he is popu
lar at the South ; CoL Jounsou is said in have
strength in the Northwest ; and Gen. Cassis
admitted to have numerous friends in Michi-
gin an unio. Jt hus alll these candidates for
the Presidency, base their claims upon their
ioca Donularitv. ansirirr from ihni hu.f t
uuieie..ii j,kiioJis oi meir lives, rendered Lcav!
services, and never forgui their Iocs' attach
ment and prejudices in devotion ths general
welfare.
ftutt i willi Mr, Clay, He never advoca
ted merely local measures,nor yielded to mere
ly local considerations, in order lo preserve bis
popularity at home at tho expense of the gen
eral welfare. A stateman in tho broadest
sense of the term, and what is more, an honest
and fcarles s'a emar, he hag throughout his

We learn from the correspondent of
the N. Y. Tribune, that (he Whigs of
I'hi ladelphia are about doing some-1
thinT towards a noble Whig. A sub
scription paper, containing over 400
signets, wis shown him, with the sum
of one dolhr marked paid, opposite
each name, for the purpose of obtain
ing and presenting a pair of pitchers to
James C. Jones, Governor of Ten
nessee, as a compliment to hisindom
iiable exertions in the Whig cause in
his native State, thoreby securing the
majority in the faenate of the U fc. it
is believed upwards of $G00 will be
subscribed. Alex uaz.

The Election's. We confess our
selves ery much surprise ! at the re
sults of the elections in Ohio, Mary
land, and Georgia. We knew the
Whigs had tha force necessary to the
achievement of the victories in those
States, but we did not think they would
so effectually prostrate Looofocoism
this year. The truth is, however, the
Locolocos were latterly addicted to
speaking quite contemptuously of the
Whig strength. They became so
boisterous in their insults that they
awakened the sleeping lion, and now
they lie crushed and bleeding on the
Geld. We tdvise our opponents to
be a little more decorous hereafter
when speaking of the strength of the
Whigs, or the consequences may be
terrific beyond precedent.
From the North, from ihe South,
from the East, and from the West, the
tidings of Whig victories salute us
T ie popularily of the glorious Whig
leader is not confined to any one State.
It pievails in every Slate, and the elec
tious of next year will result more
unanimously than nny Presidents! elec
tion within the last twenty years. The
Whigs w ill elect Henry Clay by a more
overwhelming majority than General
Harrison received in 1S40. The
truih is apparent to every unprejudiced
mind, ihat.sincelhe retirement of (Jen.
Jackson, the Locofoco party has been
rapidly losing its strength, consistency,
and numbers, until it is now so weak
as to inspire us with very slight appro
I ensions that it can ever again resume
the ascendancy it once enjoyed, but
which it forfeited by a series of most
profligate anu corrupt acts. 1 he gal
loping consumption is wasting the
strength ol the party, and it is stum
bling on willi great percipilancy to an
unhonored gtave.
I he truth of these remirks is con
clusively shown in the results of the
elections in lennessee, Ohio, Mary
land, and Georgia. Jn each of these
States the Locofocos fought most furi
ously, and were defeated by the Whigs
who did not muster all their forces. If
opponent biaJ llljsat;acvl lllb
strength which they marshalled in 1840
they would bare succeeded where they
have failed most signally: They were
enthusiastic and the Whigs were cool,
and their enthusiasm availed them
nothing. What kind of resistance will
they be able to make to the invincible
legions of the rhigs next year, when
the latter, with the gallant Clay for
their leader and every heart flushed
with enthusiasm, shall rally to thn res
cue? We shall undoubtedly achieve
ihe most magnificent political triumph
known in the annals of tho country.
Locofocoism, with its brazen front and
iu head hoary with unrepented sins,
will be so routed ami dis.comh.ilcd,
that, thenceforth, it will be referred to
only
"To point a moral and adorn a tale.''
From a late excellent speech on the
policy of protecting home manufactu
rers, we select Ihe lollowing passages:
"It has been objected against the
factory system that it immediately ben
efits but one class the manufacturers.
Il is not, sir, difficult to show that the
agricultural interests are directly pro
moted by ihe establishment of Manu
factures. Oflhe 13,000,000 bushels
of wheat raised in Pennsylvania, it is
estimated that 1,000,000 are consum
ed in iron works alone; which also oc
casion a demand for 2,000,000 bush
els of rye and corn, and 12,000,000
pounds of beef and pork; the whole
amounting to more than 3.000,000 dol
lars. Here, sir, wo see an evidciic?
of the increased demand which manu
facturers give to agricultural products.
Of the whole population of liio Union,
neprly 800,000 are engaged in manu
factures; if we estimate the annual con
sumption of grain by each person atlG
bushels, we shall have an aggregate of
consumption, by those employed in
manufactures, of 12,800,000, the val
ue of which, fixing the price ol wheat
at ?1 25, would amount to sixteen
minions of dollars. I might, sir, pur
sue these calculations further, but it is
unnecessary, i lie canals w men tra
verse the Union and bind its remote
parts together, in a great degree owe
their origin to the domestic trade that
has beeu excited by the establishment
of manufactures. The farmer of the
West has found in the manufacturer of
the North and East, profitable consum
ers of his produce, whose demands
keep it ul fair prices. 1 he distant
prairies of llanos are planted with
grain, which in tne end, is to hnd its
way to the Atlantic States, to be ex
changed for ll.evoollens, cottons, and
wares of the manufacturing States.
The manufacturing and agricultural in
terests are identified with each other,
and are the source of mutual benefits.
Tbe competition of American with
foreign manufactures, reduces the price
of fabrics necessary to the uses of the
fsrmer.while in establishing a domes
tic market it has raised the price of
grain and all other productions; tbe
farther a farming district is from ihe
thickly populated manufacturing re
gions, Ihe less price its productions
command; it is the desire lo open com
munications and approach the markets
of the East that has furrowed the coun
try with its magnificent lint s of canals
and railroads, and produce its great in
ternal commerce and developed its re
sources. "I shall not pursue this discussion
farther, except to glance at the gist of
ihe whole argument against tbe tariff
i. e. the old exploded doctrine, thai
it taxes the coniuiner forthebepefif of
the manufacturer. A complete refu
tation of this charge is to be found io
the descending pries of American
goods, since ihe imposition olthe tar
iff. Before 1810, the pr,ice ofa yard.
of c Jtton shirting was 35 e.-nls, and the
wages of a factory boy 50 cents per
week: now, the same shirting is sold
for 6 cents; a yard, and the wages of
the operatives ha) risen to S2 00 per
week. 1 hus, beloro the tanu, the lac-
lory hoy could buy only one yard and
4-10 for Ins week s work; under th?
burdens of the protective system, for
his weekly labor he buys 33j yarJs,
thus proving that ihe effect of the tar
iff has been to raise wages and to les
sen the prices of articles of wear. Such
has been tho effect upon all other fab
rics made in the country upon our.
woollens, hosieries.and particularly up
on out calicoes, which in neatness o(
patient, richness of color and stengtli
of texture, now maintain a successful
competition with the English calicoes,
both in the domcsiic and in the foreign;
markt. Our cottons are now pro
duced so cheaply, that we li8ve driven
the British dealer from the South A
merican market, and we are enabled
to compete with him and the Hindoo,
ev-jn in the East Indies. I, myself,
have heard American cottons cried in
the street) of Constantinople, and havo
seen the voluptuous Turk roll his head
in a turban of American eoltoo, rd
swattie ma luxurious limbs m the col
ton stuffs of Lowell and Fall River.
Our manufactures now find their way
into all the open markets oflhe world."
That true hearted Whig piper, the
New York Tribune, talks thus :
'The Electons. The spirit of
1810 is already reluming lo the heart
of the great . Whig party. It comes
even belore it was expected; and every
where, in its presence the same bril
liant triumphs over the forces of Loco
focoism crown the labors and the hopes
of the gallant Whigs. North Caroli
na, Tennessee, Maryland, and Geor
gia have successively wheeled again
into the line, and stand proudly tri
umphant and ready to do bailie, ral
iantly and gloriously, in tbe coming
contest for Henry Clay and ti e Whig
ittpiemiiry. I lie canvass m each oi
these States has been most animated
and enthusiastic. The prominent
principles of the Whigs have been
boldly avowed, clearly defined, and
steadily urged throughout the whole
campaign. The battle in each of these
States has been fought under the ban
ner ofa protective tariff, and, in thetn
all, Southern States as they are, it
waves in triumph. In Tennessee, the'
opposing candidates canvassed the
Slate in person, and met in open dis
cussion, before the people, on ihe great
questions involved in the struggle.
The gallant Jones declared himself in
fivor ofa protective tariffand a Nation
al bank; he was met on these nigh is
sues by one of tho most popular and"
eiiective orators in the Union; and yet
the people in the face of all opposition,'
triumphantly sustained him. In Geor
gia, a planting State, and heretofore re
garded as irrevocably pledged again?!
protection, the central S'ate committee
llirew out their colors for a Whig tariff,',
an American tariff for the protection of
American industry and the creationf 6f
a home market for American produc
tions; and the people have rallied be
neath them, and dow they float in tri
umph. So, too, in Afaryland and
North Carolina; in all these States,
moreover, the name of Henry Clay
has been the watchword with every
Whig, and bow glorious is the echo it
has aroused.
"Do not these cheering results, in
quarters where they were least expec
ted, give groend for renewed confi
dence and still more hopeful exertion.,
on the part of every Whig ? Who 1
can now doubt the spirit of the people '
or fail to see that they are ready and '
anxious lor the coming struggle? The
great Whig party of 1S40 stamU pre
pared to renew its enort and to secure
the triumph il then achieved. Let us
look forward with the confidence of
well founded hope, but relax no exer
tion, nourish no feeling of disaffection,
and omit no effort that can in any way
advance the great cause we have at
heart."
