Ao warmth of a devoted too of Ireland, the

of a few yean, since I have ton myself from

dasiruetioa, party spirit aad oppression,which,
*» horridly yawned and so
frightfully threatened deetruction, bow hep
pUy almost closed up since the illustrious end
patriotic O’Connell aad his unllmchinr and
unbending adherents threw into it, like the
etesvrmlroMa and magnanimous Roman,
all their eloquence, their strength, ami nhut
was beat of a’d, their unanimous voice, which,
like the sword of the uncompromising war
rior, thrown into the scale when his country
men would f*“ rather yield than come to
the bayooet, has determined Irishmen in their
resolution aad ft red them, man and man, to
°®*, *■ lk#ir yoke, and demand an
JJT1 Jhelr right, and liber
i ®OW’ .,ir’ ^ °** stumbling block
to Irelands complete peace and happiness—
aod that is Ae tith# system, that mo.fhide.ms
•end of discord k injustice which atilt haunts
As hearts aad the dwellings of the suffering
and the wronged, and scowls away from the
land all harmony and prosperity. But who is
i he Aet thinks Ais piece of injustice and cru

Sir? So sure as O'Connell and his biother rd

not .ail to carry in triumph the question, when

brings to our recollection the goodness and
the mercy of our beneficent God, who raised

; of ®ur ■•*■«*. »nd the kind harbinger of every
good, it carries along with it the fondc-l. the
dearest recollections, and the most gratify ing
remembrance of relations and friends, and
pa*t-gone scenes so firmly knit and euU inod
around every exile’s heart. Actuated by the
noblest, the truest, and the must virtuous in
tenlioaa the respectable body of Irishmen
attached to the public works of the < hesa
psski snd Ohio Canal, determined, for the
seventh time la America, to celebrate St.
Pntnck’a day with all the honor and lustre so
deservedly due to so great an apostle. The
great mover and principal leader in this exeat

triotism, been the successful and happy con
ductor of thb, as well aa the other celebra
tions of the Illustrious anniversary. That any
other could be found who would be niorr
sealoua, more devoted, more capable to the
arduous task, b much to be doubted ; for he

does a be owe that learning of which she can so
justly boast? t.artainly tu her apostle and that

its brilliancy of NOent and intellectual srquire
ment. I.et us cast back our ayes to the his

j 'll-hi ted Ireland, run exhibit a catalogue of
I famous and forever ilhistri«*is by tlicit

the Alhrns of the world » Who will say that
the princes of foreign nations did not, at one
period, think it a high honor tu have their
sons schooled in Ireland’s literary lialis.
May I here attempt a sketch of St. Patrick's
sacred life and character? This great Apos
tle received las cumm»Mon to prea» h to the
Irish nation in the year 431 from bt. Ceics
tmc. It is generally agreed by writers, and
••penally by the great Butler, that he w as a
Scotchman, and that when at the age of si*,
teen, he was earned a slave, by certain bar
barians. to Ireland, and there retained m cap
tivity for six months. However, admonished
in a vision he had from llod, lie wcut back to
bis own country, where he wae again ciislav
ed.but recovered his liberty alter two months.
Finally,he was enabled to make to his father #
house, where, by Ion" preparation and careful
study, Imth in science and virtue, he prepared
himself for tbe priesthood. In 432 he passed
over into Ireland, and there effected a rum.
picle conversion of the whole island. He es
tablished and endowed innumerable monas
teries and botnet of learning, and left behind

ing of the spirit like the voice of the l.ord
breaking down the cedars of Libanuv—“ ror
I 'vtHini eottfi igtnJu ttdrot” Ps xxvii. 5. And
now let us hear the distinguished Levins, in

Patrick,‘on a former occasion: At he* word,
nature, at her utmost boundary, listens to his
command. The cataracts of heaven are
opened and discharge their waters to relieve
the miseries and desolations caused bv

THE ADJUSTMENT.
It will be semi that Mr. Clav’s Bill foe the
tradaal reduction of the Tariff to Uie revenue
: •*•**•"*, baa pasted the House of Repreostv
talivet, and there U no doubt that it has .ire
passed the Senate and become a law. Thia
ta a result which wa confess we did not anti
cipate. Henry Cluj, the father of the Ame
rican System, after hn long and zealous ad
| vocacy, and after carrying through the abo
minable Tariff of lt*T2, has found it necessa
ry, cren before the time appointed for that
Hill hi go into operation, to abandon it, and
to introduce a Bill providing for the eventual
reduction of duties to the amount of Revenue
** arrrtvai y for lfu reonomitml odminulrmlion of
the *»rtmnurU:'> This it indeed surprising:
**»d although the provisions of the Hill fail
short of what we could have desired, anu
are not such as the South had a right to de
mand, and in strict justice to insist Ufxm—yet
we eaunot but hail with gratification this de
| eidcd evidence of a disposition on the part of
Congress to do justice, to respect the consti
tution, and restore the sound principle* of
! the government.
The final reduction is too long deferred._
Four or live years would have been a suffi
cient concession of lin.e to the manufactur
ers, before the reduction w*»s « omplrtcd : ami
15 and not ‘JO per cent, might h»vo been
I »»fely assumed as the extent of duty to be
| ultimately allowed them, and as bring a rate
I sufliriaaftly high to raise the amount nurcssa
| T fo*- the economical administration of the
j government. The cash duties—and the Lome
{ **luattor, are also objectionable features of
the Hill, bull it has been a compromise, be
tween our just claims, and the vested inter
1 e*ts of the manufacturers, which immt-diatc
i and full justice to the South would have in
volved in certain ruin—a consummation,
j which, whether merited or not, the South
did not desire. In making such a eompro
mwe, some obnoxious provisions were una
i voidable to be permitted. The (•ruiciple too
; has been Yielded to u«. for sli irh U r (vrinlMful.
j cd from the first, that reveniro and not pro
tection should be the object of duties; and it
; has been yielded under a pledge that guann
i tecs to us, that protection ol manufacture*
j will not Ih- lien after again assumed as the
object of legislation.
j A pledge which, even if it should be viola
• tad, will secure us a decided rcii>tur,ce a
gainst all attempts to return to the American
| System. As therefore, we have never com
. plained merely of the amount of the exae
I tious, lev ied for the l*enefit of the muatfac
: turers, but contended against the principle,
that bring yielded and the definite prospect ol
j full relict -eeured, we have gained the mam
; point, and mastered the citadel of the odioui
system, and we may submit to the conces
sion of time for the manufacturers to »ha|K
Ifceir speculations to the new arrangement,
though v\ r do think that a more than reason
able |»rri.-l ban been allowed them, consider
ing how long the South has been denied even
the hope of todress at the hands of Congress.
" rejoice therefore in the pru*|>cct of a
pacification of tlie confederacy, in spite of the
inauspicious influences which have been ex
erted, and winch, until now*, induced us to
despair of a peaceable issue of the struggle
which has shaken our In ion to It* foundation,
though we never despaired of the ultimate
triumph of the good old cause. We are of
opinion that South Carolina has no induce
ment now left her for a further act of nullifi
cation, and that it is probable that wlieu the
Convention re-assemble*. no new Ordinance
of nullification will be adopted; that already
passed having now been rendered luopera
| tive by the abolition of the obnoxious enact
ments ag*in«t which it was framed tni.u
rale. Our Convention will not, wcthink. r%
>jccl a compromise for which our own dclega
noi. and that of the whole booth voted in -m
phalanx; against which wc arc g!ad to
see recorded the votes of ail the ultra-1 aritf
wfinh none from the South sought
to «mbarrass, but a few und.-rittig implements
of the kitchen caLtnct. This is our t*rc». nt
m.prcs-ion, though event, n.aj intervene
whic.i we do not anticipate,which mas require
further action for the def«ncn of their ririiti
OU the part of the people of S. Carufii.a. *
The Mange of CUy't Bill effectually kills
the * nfomiig hill, w hich, however, from the
indications in the House, will probably
»y a large majority. If so, it may he consi
dered as nothing more than an ebullit.on of
«p!ecn. It Will record the spit* of the Ad
ministration again*! certain men, and slow
what enormities it woti,d perpetrate trfn
this opportunity afforded. Hut the rr^aMrm
