A letter to the Editor of the Baltimore Path
ot, from Annapolis* states, that Lewis Gassaway
was elected on Tuesday, Clerk of the House of
Delegates, G. W. Sharp, of Frederick, assistant
Clerk, and Thomas Johns, W. B. Dorsey, Levin
Jooes, R. B. A. Tate and H. L. Gall, Commit
tee Clerks.
None of the clerks of last session were appli
cants excepting George G. Brewer, chief clerk,
who, was anti Jacksonian. The Jackson par
ty of the house thus gloriously closed tfce year
bv the sacrifice of an individual.
The New York Journal of Commerce says
that the brokers have advanced the rate of dis
count on country bank notes. Those on the
Jersey shore to one per cent—those in the wes
tern part of the state to two per cent.
Messrs. Moore and Letcher have both gone to
Kentucky to take depositions, &c. relative to the
contested election.
Mr. Benton’s speech will be the crack speech
of the Administration. A reference 19 made to :
it bv our Washington Correspondent. So per- j
feet a bonne bouche will indeed be a treat tor the
friends of the President and the opponents of ^
\lr. Clay. Of course we shall publish it.
The astute critic of the Globe, who called Mr.
Clay’s brilliant speech—** a failure”—Mr. Mc
Duffie’s powerful address “an abortive attempt”—
also calls Mr. Benton’s effort “ overpowering ar
gument and eloquence,” and Mr. Polk’s speech
a luminous and powerful exposition.” The
Globe sees through Major Downing’s spectacles,
when it considers the two last mentioned speech
es; but we presume it would not like to have
many such “ failures” and “ abortive attempts,”
as it found in the two former.
The Kentucky Gazette, a ‘By Authority’ print
makes a rude attack on Judge Bibb, because of
the exhibition, on his part, of the independence
becoming an American Senator.
Some of the New England papers are handling
with very great seventy the Rev. Howard Mal
coin, of Boston, for refusing to officiate at the
marriage of a professor with a nun professor.
EDITOR'S CORRESPOiSDESCE.
Washington, Jan. 2, 18^>3.
Dear Sir—VV e have had Mr. Benton on the
floor of the Senate all to day. It his object is
not to provoke a quarrel with Mr. Clay, and goad
him into a personal difficulty, 1 am much mista* ;
ken. His speech abounds with insulting allu- j
sions. The reference to Mr. Randolph, who, he ;
said, had “ bared himself to the bullets of his i
adversary,” (alluding to his duel with Mr. Clay) ^
was most uncourteou9, ill judged, and unneces
sary. Probably Mr. Clay may, under good ad- ,
%ice, treat these things as he has lately treated
every thing from Mr. Benton. I will not say j
that I may not have a spice of prejudice in my
composition against Mr. Benton, but I defy an>
man not to be somewhat prepossessed against j
him, who observes his apparent calculating ma
. . • I « i II
lignity. He has that about mm wnicn i snuuiu
desire to see displayed in no friend of mine:
\nd it is somewhat singular, that he who, above
all men in the Senate, is liable to chargen which
ought to make him sink under the seat which he
occupies, should have the effrontery to be conti
nual! v indulging in the strain he doe9.
Mr. Polk concluded his speech in the House
to day. It will not, from all accounts, do at all
to be con.pared with Mr. McDuffie s. It wanted
those breathing thoughts and burning words
which made the speech of the Southern Orator so
|>opular. As far as industry, research, and a
desire to make the most that he \va* able to do
out of the question, are concerned, Mr. Polk did
not disappoint his friends. But what he said will
fall dull upon the public ear, in the midst of so
much more exciting matter. Mr. Binney will
follow Mr. Polk in the debate. Much is expect,
cd from him in the way of sound argument and
correct logic; and he will not disappoint any bo
dv Horace Binnev is one of the ablest men in
e»njrf»s, ami will, I lh.uk, take a high stand at
once, .
I have been so much engaged in listening to
the speeches to day, that 1 have had no time to
look about and see what has been going on out of
door
| COMMUNICATED- J
« It i9 easy, Sir, to say hard things. It is for
tunate, however, for the Chief Magistrate of this
country, that his character U placed at such an
elevation that it requires no aid from the Repre
sentatives of the People on this floor to sustain
it when assailed. He is above the reach and
power of any remarks made here”
In your paper of yesterday, a correspondent
quotes a part ot Mr. Polk’s speech, which is in
cluded in the above quotation, (in italics,) and
which, it appears. ha9 stirred his bile.
I am neither an admirer of Mr. Polk’s speech
^which, by the way, is exceedingly weak,) nor
an advocate of the President.
I should probably agree very fully with Brutus
touching the high-handed measures of tne admi
nistration io removing the deposites; but I can
not approve of the course adopted by many of
♦be opponents of “the party,” in complaining
of matters which, to an unprejudiced eye, may
very reasonably be considered at least harmless.
Torn from the context, the words quoted by
Brutus have a very different appearance when
taken with what precedes them.
44 tt is easy to say hard things,” says Mr.
Polk, and Brutus shews us it is true. Let me
advise Brutus to look, with the calm and unim*
passioned manner which would become the name
he has assumed;—when next he undertakes to
animadvert upon the sentiments of others, let him
advert to the course of the old Roman” whose
name he has assumed, before he wields the—pen.
Brutus weighed and pondered well before he
struck—but then it was with full effect.
Should this not suit the temperament of our
modern Brutus so well, if he be not one of those
comfortable folks described by Caesar—
11 Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek headed men, and such as sleep o' nights'*—
On the contrary, should he be a man who
•* has a lean and hungry look,**
who “ thinks too much, (and, I would add with
Caesar, “ would be-fatter,”) he should at
least drop the name of the cautious and wary
Brutus, and subscribe himself in future, as doth
your humble servant, “ CASSIUS.”

Mr. Snowden.—Your correspondent 44 B,”
in the Gazette this morning, has been misin
formed. No part of the monies received at
the late fair, has been appropriated to other pur
poses than those for which the fair was announc
ed—nor will be. Several persons interested in
getting it up, presuming (erroneously) the sum
receivej to be more .than could be at once ex
pended on the School, suggested the propriety of
appropriating a portion of it to other benevolent
objects; but the idea was immediately abandon* j
ed, when they were reminded that the Managers ,
were but trustees for the purposes announced
in their advertisement, and bound to fulfil their
trust. C.

OBITUARY.
[communicated. J
“ Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest
not what a day may bring forth ”
M rs. Mary Kinsey, consort of Mr. Zena9 j
Kinsev, is no more! She closed her earthly ca
reer on Sabbath evening, 22d ultimo, after a short
illness of four days, in the 51st year of her nge.
As a friend, she was sincere and ardent in her
attachments; as a mother, tender and devoted to
her children; and as a w ife,affectionate and faith
ful in ali her duties. A husband and seven chil
dren live to feel her absence and mourn her loss;
but “they sorrow not us those without hope.”
Mrs. Kinsey’s confidence was placed in God,
through the atonement of Jesus Christ; and there
fore, when “heart and flesh” were failing she
was enabled, through grace, to give comfortable
assurances to her friends that her departure from
the body, would introduce her into the presence i
and enjoyment of her “Victorious Redeemer.” ;
Reader! in thy onward course in life, pause, and
ask “who next?” Think of the possibility of its
being thyself— think of thy responsibility, think
of the destiny which may await thee in eternity
w Be ye also ready; lor in such an hour as ye
think not the 9on of man cometh.” P

VaYuable, farm Cor aalfc.
I wish to sell CLIFTON. It is
situated ab >ut three miles from Alexan
dria, immediately between that place and
5 Mount Vernon. It contains Two Hund
red and Fifty Acres—an hundred of which are in
wood, lying in a body on that side of the tract near
est Alexandria—the balance is divided into three fields,
and well enclosed by the best post and rad fence.
The soil was originally good —the fields have been
well ditched and cleaned, and by judicious cultivation
are rapidly improving. The Orchards number more
than six hundred fruit trees, young, vigorous and bear
ing ~app!e, peach, pear-, clr rry, apricot and nectarine.
The Improvements wrremadeby a gentleman who
spared no cost to complete a plan designed with great
taste. They consist of a brick dwelling house of two
win js. coniieced by a colonade—each wing contains
fire rooms, finished in the handsomest style. The out
houses are of brick, and are convenient, and sufficient
for a large establishment. The whole has lately been
thoroughly repaired. A pump of excellent vfater is in
the yard. The hou-c is on a commanding eminence,
whee health has always been enjoyed; and as a sum
mer residence has no superior. The view is at once
grand and beautiful. To the north, the house is ap
proached .hrough an avenue three hundred yards in ;
length, of large and beautiful trees; and the gardens j
and orchards are so arranged on each side of this ave- !
nue as to give it grace and beauty. The view from |
the house through the avenue i* shut up by the wood 1
land. To the south, east and west, the prospect is al- ;
most unlimited.
On the east you look upon Fort Washington and a
cultivated country in the State of Maryland. On the
south, Mount Vernon, an object with which every
American associates all that is interesting and venera
ble, is immediately under the eye, with ten or fifteen
thousand acres of fine campaign country, spread out
directly between the two hills, diversified by wildness
and cultivation in endless variety.
The Itiver Potomac for near ten miles is visible from
Clifton: and when whitened by the sails of a busy
commerce, as it oftentimes is, forms a picture that can
not be seen without pleasure. To the west, at the
distance of thirty miles, the magnificent Blue Uidge i s
plainly distinguishable.

matched Carriage Horses: they are grey; oversixteen
