Hush, I cannot bear to sec thee
Stretch thy tiny hands its vaiu,
I have got no broud to give thee,
Nothing, child, to ease thy pain.
When God sent thee first to bless mo,
Proud and thankful, too, was I;
Now, my darling, I. thy mother,
Almost long to see thee die.
Sleep, my darling—thou art weary j
God is good, but life is dreary.
I have seen thy beauty fading.
And thy strength sink day by day;
Soon 1 know will want and fever
Waste thy little life away.
Famine makes thy mother reckless,
Hope and joy are gone for me,
I could sutier nil, my baby,
Had I but a crust tor tbce.
I am wasted, d:ur, with hunger,
And my brain is sore oppressed;
I have scarcely strength to press tnce,
Wan and le;ble to my breast.

\ bin s ,ay evening at their rooms with a very
large altend inee, Bcnj imiti P. Fairchild the
Pte.-ident j.i me chair, und Air. Ignatius Flynn
acting as Secretary. Mr. John S. Betts, of
tao 1 went)-first ward, offered the following res*
oluti.ma,:
Resolved, That wc reiterate our opposition to
this bloody, relentless, unnecessary and fruit
less war. In our opinion it ie time that the
whole American people, Northern! South,should
demand of their Rulers its immediate discontin
uance.
Resolved, I hat the restoration of the Union
is dependent upon the policy of the Democrat
ic party and not upon the result of battles; be
cause the latter determines nothing, while the
* u .nK>i, wtiivt. „in ,i no
ministration, will determine every thing. If this
policy shall lie f r war, the war will go oil. as
barren ol results as it has been heretofore, but
if it shall lie for pence ; under the lead of some
vigorous, able, and independent man, the war
wi'.l cease, good ficling will be revived between
the sections, the Union will be restored, and all
our glorious past be once tnore brought back
and continued forever.
Resolved, 'Lliat the conduct of our foreign af
fairs by ibis administration has been a scries of
blunders; at times blustering, and again timid;
now pot-valiant, and then cowardly—it has al
ready placed us in a position where even Eng
land dares lo bully us. While we deprecate
and shall continue to oppose the prosecution of
tbe civil war pendfhg, we require and demand
that the administration shall submit to no more
insults from Great Britain. To resist that in
solent power, we pledge every man and every
dollar required in a vigorous and successful ef
fort to maintain the honor, the flag, and the in
terest of the country.
Resolved, 1 hat tho arrest and detention of the
Hon. Clement E. Vallnndiuliain. of Ohio, upon
a military order, as a punislun nt for the exer
cise of the right of fie • speech in popular dis
cussion (which is no offence nil ler the laws of
the land), is another step towards absolute des
potism. VVe denounce this act, by whomsoev
er authorized or instigated, as a crime against
tho people of nil the States. To resist aggres
sion less odious our revolutionary fathers, of ev
ery colony on the continent, made common
cause, and we men of New York, sympathi
zing with our brethren of other States subject
ed to such outrages, pledge "our lives, our for
tunes, and our sucred honors," to stand by them
to the last.
Ex-Recorder Smith spoke in favor of the re
solutions. lie said tliurc is not u despotism on
the face of the eartli where a man at least has
not tho right to express his views in tho cause
of humanity. Hut in this country a man
who has ! t l v o: copied a high position as a
member of Congress, a mail of ability, educa
tion, and tried patriotism, for no cause in the
world except that in a political meeling he said
to those that were around him that we were en
gaged in a war which cannot result beneficial
ly to us—for this his house is forcibly entered
by soldiers and he is carried away and impris
oned. He is brought before a military tribu
nal. Is not treason defined by statute? Is
there tiny reason that the law should he tram
pled upon and entirely disregarded, as if they
wished to show the people the power they
have, and thiv they core not for the Consti
tution and laws ? They commit an act of out
rage and \i donee nnparallelled in the history
of this or ac.v other civilize'! land since the
blood - days of the French Revolution. [Ap

stand, as they will understand by r ntid-by, that
no benefit whatever is to result from this war;
if they can understand that we may go on spen
ding millions of treasure, entailing upon our !
i children a debt which will be fearful; audit'
they could understand that it must result in I
3omc arrangement or other at last, they would
, agree with us and say : ''For God s sake, lot us

In response to loud calls, Hon. Jus. Brooks !
rose to speak. He said he thought a crixis bad I
arisen in public attains in which it is necessary !
lor every nuin, as often as possible, to show :
himself in public in order to rebuke the exist- j
ing administration. When a distinguished pub- |
lie tnan whom lie knew well, whom many oi l
them knew well, whom we all loved and rever-1
ed, distinguished for bis eloquence, his learning, j
his high attainments, distinguished above all for!
bis mol'nl heroism—physical heroes are abun- j
aant, but moral heroes are few and far between j
—when such a man bus been arrested, he felt 1
it his duty to appear here and join in a general j
expression of public opinion. Mr. Brooks re-)
lated the circumstances of Mr. Vallaiuiighum's
arrest. The doors of his house hud been bat
tered down at 3 o'clock in the morning by a
company of abolition soldiers, armed with mus
kets, und lie was arrested, kidnapped from bis
wife uud house, abducted, carried oti to Cincin
nati, incarcerated there lawlessly, tyrannically,
wickedly, by the minions in power. No outrage
on earth can be so great as that.
No king in Europe, not Niipoleon on bis
throne, or the Czar of Russia even, dure vio-1
late the saeredness of a private citizen's home,!
and the principle is so high and holy in Eng- |
lisli law ttiat for live hundred years the king I
of England has not dared to violate it. A j
man's house is his castle. The doors of this j
man's bouse have been broken into by a law- i
less soldiery in the hour approaching morning, j
when man slumbers most heavily, cruelly a-1
laruting his wife and family. If such a thing j
were done in England, not only peasant and i
laborer, but the aristocrat himself would risei
in indignation to overturn an administration |
that dared lie guilty of such au outrage. [Ap
plause.]
Here, and here alone has the thing been at
tempted in order to allriglit and overawe the
Democracy of Ohio. Twenty-live yeurs ago,
when Napoleon was laying out the beautiful
garden of the T'uileries in Paris, for the grat
ification of the French nation. > miserable ;i)i-L
a dirty shanty was fiefu Some iwo Hundred
yards from the first anil august Napoleon, who
had six hundred thousand bayonets under his
control, by an humble Frenchman who, on be
ing usked to sell, refused, and tho august Napo
leon never (hired to break open the door ol that
little but, so sacred was die right even in
France. [Applause.] If we do not resist this
now it soon will be too late to resist it. If wc
do nut protest against it from the beginning, and
on every occasion, the manacles ut despotism
will be soon so enchained upon us that no hu
man power can bear them. We should careful
ly, within the bounds of the law, create the sys
tem of agitulion, continual agitation, which
will urouse the people and awaken them to re
sistance.
We should present petitions as well as remon
strances to the President—for the right of peti
tion is yet lett to us, poor subjectsot Abraham
Lincoln; wo should petition our governor, if
necessary, to use his influence with the Gover
nor of Ohio to maintain the principles of the
Magna Cliurta and huieas corpus lor the libera
tion of our ibtluw-eitizeii, Mr. ValUuitlighaui.
[Cheers.] Mr. Brooks said lie bad received a
letter l..is afternoon from a brigadier general in
Indiana, Gen. Haskell, in which he speaks of
an article commenting on a most extraordinary
war order he had issued, and says it is lucky
for him (the speaker) that his paper was not
published in Indiana, for he would have sup
pressed it very quickly. The audacity anil in
solence of these miserable creatures in straps
and lace llic speaker would resist and denounce
at every occasion and at all hazards. Republi
can liberty is never to be secured but by con
tinual watchfulness. Tyranny and despotism
we should resist to the utmost of our ability in
and under the law. As long us they leave us j
tho ballot box our victory is sure, and if they
do not leave us the ballot bo!%saiJ Mr. Brooks,
by tbe eternal God, 1 will be willing to lead a
ny army, if you will trust to my leadership, to
resist ali such tyranny in active opposition.

SPEECH OF HENRY CLAY,
Iu the U. S. Senate, Feb. 7,1839.
MR. PRESIDENT: At tbe period of the form
ation of oir Constitution, und afterwards, our
patriotic ancestors apprehended danger to the
Union from two causes. One was the Allegha
ny mountains, dividing the waters that flow into
the Atlantic Ocean from those which find their
outlet in the Gulf of Mexico. They seemed to
present a natural separation. That danger lias
vanished before tbe noble achievements of the
spirit of internal improvement, and the immor
tal genius of Fulton. And now nowhere is
found n more loyal attachment to the Union,
than among those very Western people, who, it
was apprehended, would be the first to burst its
ties.
The other cause, domestic slavery, happily
the sole remaining cause which is likely to dis
turb our harmony, continues to exist. It was
this which created the greatest obstacle, and
the most anxious solicitude, in the deliberations
of tbe Convention that adopted the Federal
Constitution. And it is this subject that has
ever been regarded with the deepest anxiety by
all who are sincerely desirous of the permanen
cy of our Union. The Father of his Country,
in his last affecting and solemn appeal to his
fellow-citizens, deprecated, as a most calamitous
event, the geographical diiisions which it might
produce.
The Convention wisely left the several States
the power over the institution of slavery, as a
power not necessary to the plan of the Union,
und which contained the seeds of certain des
truction. There let it remain, undisturbed by
any unhallowed hand.
Sir, I am not in the habit of speaking light
ly of the possibility of dissolving this luippy U-
Tiiou. The Senate knows that I have deprecated
allusions, on ordinary occasions, to that direful
eieut. -Tho country will testify, that if there
be anything in the history of my public career
worthy of recollection, it is the truth and sin
cerity of my ardent devotion to its lasting pres
ervation. But we should be false in our allegi
ance to it, if we did not discriminate between the
imaginary and real dangers by which it may be
assailed. ABOLITIONISTS should be no longer
regarded as an imaginary danger. The Abo
litionists, let mo suppose, succeed in their pres
ent aim of uniting the inhabitants of the free
States, as one tnan, against the inhabitants of
the slave States. Union on one side will beget
union on tho other. And this process of recip
rocal consolidation will be attended with all the
violent prejudices, embittered passions, and im
""P'siiiM which are possible to de
grade or deform human rnuuic. n. ......... .....
solution of the Union will have taken place,
whilst the forms of its extistcnce remain. The
most valuable element of union, mutual kind
ness, the feelings of sympathy, the fraternal
bonds, which now happily unite us, will have
been extinguished forever. Due section will
Stand in menacing and hostile array against the
other. The collision of opinion will be quick
ly followed by the clash of arms. I will not
attempt to describe RCCIICS wVicli now happily
, lie concealed from oar view. ABOLITIONISTS
ITIKMSKI.VKS WOULD stIKINK BAt K IN DISMAY AND
tioßßoit at the contemplation of desolated fields,
conflagrated cities, murdered the
overthrow of the fairest fabric of human gov
ernment that ever rose to animate the hopes of
civilized man.
Nor should these Abolitionists flatter them
selves that if they can succeed in their object
of uniting the people of the free States, they
will enter the contest with a numerical superi
ority that must insure victory. All history and
experience pro-.-e the hazard and uncertainty
of war. And wo are admonished by Iloly Writ
that the race is not to the swift, nor the bailie
to the strong.
But if they were to conquer, whom would
they conquer 1 A foreign foe ? No, sir. It would
he a conquest without laurels, without glori/; A
SELF, SUICIDAL CONQUEST; a conquest ol broth
ers over brothers, achieved by one over another
portion of the descendants of common ances
tors, who, nobly pledging their lives, their for
tunes, and their sacred honors, had fought and
bled, side by side, in many a hard battle on land
and ocean, severed our country from the Brit
ish crown, and established our national inde
pendence.
I am, Mr. President, no friend of slavery.
The searcher of all hearts knows that every
pulsation of mine beats high and strong in the
cause of civil liberty. Whenever it is safe and
practicable, I desire to see every portion of tho
human family in the enjoyment of it. But I
prefer the LIBERTY "OF MY OWN HACF. to that of
any other race. The liberty of the descendants
of Africa in the United States is incompatible
with the safety and liberty of the European
descendants. Their slavery forms an exception
—an exception resulting from n stern and inex
orable necessity—to the general liberty in the
United-States. We did not originate, nor are
we responsible for, tliis necessity. Their liber
ty, if it were possible, could only lie established
by violating the incontcstible powers of the
STATUS, and SUBVERTING THE UNION. And be
neath the ruins of the Union would be buried,
sooner or later, THF. LIBERTY OF BOTH RACES.
How fearfully arc these words of wisdom and
prophecy now being fulfilled.
A father came home from his business at
early evening, and took his little girl upon his
knee. After a few dove-like caressess, she
crept to his bosom and fell asleep. He
carried her himself to her chamber, and said,
"Nellie would not like to go to bod and not say
her prayers." Half opening her large bluo
eyes, she dreamily articulated,
"Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord—"
thon adding, in a sweet murmur, "He knows
tho rest," she sank on her pillow, in His watch
ful carc who "givctli his beloved slep."

The Civil War in the Vendee.
The civil war in the Vendee, which involved
the greater part of J'oilou, a part of Atijou and
a porlion of JJretagne, never extended over the
one-fortieth part of France; yet it involved a
loss of nearly seven armies. One hundred and
titty thousand Vendecans fell in a mighty strug
gle, which for a time puzzled the best Generals
of the French Republic. It commenced very
soon after the breaking out of the Revolution,
and was carried on with varied success by the
insurgents and the Republican armies. Robes
pierre ordered the Vendee to Is;destroyed by,tire
and sword, and tbc army despatched against it
received the name of the tncendiai i/nrmy. Yet
the Vendee was not subdued, and after the
Jacobins were driven from power and their
leaders sent to the guillotine, Carnot caused,
on the 2d December, 1794, a proclamation to
be issued offering the Insurgents terms of peace
and a general pardon. At the same time De
putiip of the National Convention entered into
negotiations with Charctte, oueof their leaders,
on the loth February, 1795, and with Stofflct,
who commanded another division of insurgents,
on the 2d day of May following. A general
amnesty, compensation for the destruction of
their property, exemption from military service,
and religious toleration were offered and ac
cepted, and for a time la Vendee wa paci
fied.
The Vendecans again rose against Napoleon
in 1801, and were with great difficulty sdbdued.
They rose again when they heard of the des
truction of the groat army in Russia. After
Napoleon's return from Elba, they once more
took up the sword ''for their king and their
religion," and were only finally subdued on tho
day Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo. In
183') when Louis Phillippe mounted thcthrono,
the insurrectionary movement of the Vendee
was soon suppressed.
Napoleon 111. has won the people of Ven
dee, Anjou, Poitou and Bretagne by the inost
studied kindness, and the population of these
provinces are now reckoned among the most
reliable Bonapartists in all France. When the
last Italian war broke out, the Emperor had
no occasion to station a single additional regi
meat in any of these old revolutionary provin
ces.—Age.
AI:E THERE ANY SI'IRITS PRESENT TO-NIGHT?
—We clip the following from the liurlington
(Iowa) Argus : —When liie Clergymen of Chi
cago waited upon the President of the United
States, he informed them that the proclamation
for the freedom of the negroes would be like
x ope = v -tjot." awwxkhe
President, "if the Lord dosires me to att HUB,
why don't he inform me who tun so deeply in
terested in, and responsible for knowing ?" The
Chicago priesthood did not understand iiiin.—
They were simple. Methodists. Hut Hubert
Dale Owen, who is a spiritualist, had a com
munication with the spirits, thereupon wrote a
letter to Secretary Stanton urging the Procla- |
mation upon the country and the President as
just, right, and of Clod. Judge Edmonds, Hob- '
ert Dale Owen and other spiritualists gave the |
President the long expected communication thro'
mediums, and he acted accordingly. Now put
a pin right here. In no arbitrary arrest lias
this form of despotism been exercised toward a
Puritan or Spiritualist. Dashioll and Olds a
tiioug the Methodists, MoPheeters among the
Presbyterians, McMastor among the Catholics;
Episcopalians represented by Judge Carraichael,
all well, thoroughly and fitly represented in pris
ons without crimet but no Puritan, no Spiritu
alist, has ever been arrested—none ever will.—
We have an administration controlled by spirit
ualism. Gurley is a spiritualist, Robert Dale
Owen, Judge Edmonds and Th"d. Stevens,
lingame, Sluirz and Sumner are spiritualists.—
The last appointment announced is that of Gur
lcy, of Cincinnati, Governor of Arizona, a spir
itualist. lias it come to this—a great country
governed by ghosts, spirits, hobgoblins, table
turnings, rappings, &c.? lie not deceived; this
is the animus of the Administration.
The Age of Man.
Few men die of ago. Almost all persons
die of disappointment, passion, mental or bod
ily toil, or accident. The passions kill men
sometimes oven suddenly. The common ex
pression, "choked with passion," lias little ex
ageration in it, for even though not suddenly
fatal, strong passions shorten life. Strong-bod
ied men often die young—weak men live long 4
er than tho strong, for the strong use their
strength, and tho weak have none to use. The
latter take care of themselves; the former do
not. As it is with the body, so it is with the
the mind and temper. The strong are apt to
break, or like tbe candle, run; the weak burn
out. The inferior animals which live temper
ate lives have generally their prescribed term
of years. The horse lives tweutv-five years;
the hog ten or twelve; the rabbit eight; the
Guinea pig six or seven. They number all their
proportion to the time the animal takes to grow
to its full size. But man, of all uniinals, is one
that seldom comes to the average. lie ought
to live a hundred years, according to this phy
siological law, for five times twenty nre one
hundred; but instead of that,he scarcely reach
es an average of two times the growing period.
The reason is obvious—man is not only tho
most irregular and tho most intemperate, but
the most laborious and hard worked of nil an
imals, and there is reason to believe, though
we cannot tell what an animal scarcely feels,
that, more than any other animal, man elior
inliOci wrath to keep it warm, and consumes
himself in the fire of his owa reflection.

The Little Reign of Terror.
An Historical Ileminitcence.
During the administration of John Adam
occurred what was then called the "Reign o
Terror," but which may now- be called the " lit
'/e Reign of terror," in comparison to w-ha
we have experienced and are still doomed t
witness under the warlike administration o.
Abraham Lincoln. An attack was then mad
by the mob on the newspaper press; but onl
three out of ail the papers published in th
country were actually threatened with violence
viz: the Philadelphia Au.oru, edited by Wit
RJAM DI ANE: a democratic PAPER in Reading
edited by JOHN SNYDER: and the Trenton True
American, edited by JAMES JEFFERSON WIL
SON.
We know that the "hfllt Reign of Terror"
did not last long, and that Jetferson was tri
umpliantly elected over his Federal rival as soon
as the people had a chance to express th*ir ab
horrence of the Reign of Terror, and of the A
licn and Sedition Laws' at the ballot-box. Can
the great Reign of Terror, in which every press
of the country is threatened w'.'b destruction
or confiscation, and the editors with the dun
geon and court martinis, have any other se

"THE RIBBONED OX."—Tin- N. Y. World says
that at the recent J>engue meeting in that city,
the speakers were put into one of the parlors of
the Everett House, and as their names were
called they came forward; a badge of gaudy
ribbons was pinned on their breasts, and they
wore marched with an escort of officers of the
society to the stand designated for them. As
Daniel S. Dickinson was thus passing through
the crowd, with his ribbons flutt. ing, it must
have brought vividly to his mind the following
passage from a speech delivered by liira a' few
years since:
Do you know, my Democratic friends, how
the Republicans serve the Democrats who go
over to them. I will tell you how. They serve
them as the New York butcher serves his fat
ox. He pats gaily colored ribbons 011 his horns
and marches him through the streets as specta
cle to he stared at, and then—last scene of all
—he drives him to the slaughter pen. This is
the way Republicans serve Democrats who arc
flattered Rnd cajoled by thoin into an abandon
ment of their principles.
It is not every man that is so signally privil
eged to be his own prophet.
NEGRO EQUALITY AMONO THE BROOKLYN
CUEHOY.— A few days since, at the church uf

daincd for the minister, and strange as it may
appear, the questions to the Candida's werfeput
by a negro acting as Mo; era tor! When the
laying on of hands eame in order, another ne
gro preacher came down the aisle and mingled
his paws with the white brethren. Among the
white men who officiated in this amalgamating
ordination, were the licv. Dr. Stores, Mr.
Robinson, the pastor of the church, and the
Rev. Thou. Cuyler. The idea of a white man
being questioned by a negro as to his qualifica
tions for a Christian teacher, is so impious and
wicked, that it deserves notice. As for equal
rights, we hopo these clergymen will go the
whole figure, und not fail to give each a daugh
ter to some negro preacher for his wife. Thus
will they show their faith by their works.—A'.
Y. Caucasian.
No PARTY. —The New York World, alluding
to a demand of the Administration organs that
there shall be a suspension of all party action
until the war closes, says:
"A course of proceedings has been tried, and
it will not work. There was no party, or prac
tically none, for the fir*t eighteen months of the
war, and see what came of it. Arbitrary ar
rests, suppressions of newspapers, unbridled ex
ercise of power, administrative weakness, fanat
icism in high places, failure in the field, and
corruption in all the departments of the govern
ment. The American people have had
enough of this, and hereafter there must He an
opposition party—not, of course, to embarrass
the nrogress of the war, but to keep the gov
ernment on the right track, to oppose abuses,
and sternly hold the military powers to their
vast responsibilities.
®J*When you hear a Republican crying
"Butternut" vehemently, it is a sign his party
is going "to make a dye (die) of it."— Logan
Gazette.
And when yon hear nn Abolitionist crying
"Copperhead, it is a Sure indication that ho has
■'got snakes'in fas boots'' or expects to be snake
bitten.—llilsboro' Gazette. '
And furthermore, when you hear Abolitionists
howling "home traitors," you may be sure they
are getting ready to steal a big pile of "green
backs."
Greeley is reminded by the -V. Y.
World that his ninety days are almost up. He
declared we ought to abandon the contest with
the South and submit to disunion if we did not
overwhelm the rebellion before the first of May.
The time is at hand, and, of course, Mr. Gree
ley will be ns good as his word and on the morn
ing of the 2d of May will advocate a recogni
tion of the Southern Confederacy and an
| mmcdiate stoppage of the war.
