We respectfully call the attention of persons a bout to build, to our invaluable method of roofing, now much used throughout the principal cities of the United States and their vicinities. This mode of roofing having all the combined requisites of cheapness, Durability, and Security against'Fire and Water, and dispensing with high gable walls; the roofs:require an inclination of not more than' three-quarters (1) of an inch to the foot, and in many eases saving the entire cost of rafters—the ceiling joist being used. The gutters are made of the same material, withaut• any extra charges ; consequently, our roofs sire put up at almost haf the cost of either Tin, Slate, or Shingles. The material being of an imperishable nature, it surpasses all others in Durability ;—bosides, in case of any casualty, it is the most easily repaired of any other roof now in use. Yet, the best proof we can OW fie to its being both fire and water proof, are our many re ferences, to any one of whom we are at liberty to refer. N. 11:—Bat let it be distinctly understood, ((since we manufacture our own composition, and do the work in persond that we warrant all our Work Proof ,against both Piro and Water ; if they prove contrary, we will most willingly abide the results. . The materials being mostly non-conduelors of heat., no roof is so cool in summer, or so warm in Winter. Tbose wishing to, use. our roof should give tbo raft Ore a pitch of about oneinch to the foot.

One day during the last war, opposite the entrance to Portsmouth Harbor, and about three miles' from the shore,lay a black frigate at anchor ; and the contin ual motion on its decks, as seen with the aid of a glass from land, betokened that some event of unusual interest %via soon to occur. Although it showedno colors, it required an eye, of but little experience in naval matters to decide that it was English. WFiat could he its object was a trystery.' Its Wooden walls effectually concealed the principal op erations from many who watched it anx iously from the shore, `arid when, during the day, it was joined by another vessel of the same class, and a heavy man-of war, not a little excitement was created among those who lived near the water. Towards Portsmouth the enemy had often thrown longing glances. It was the key to New Hanipshire and the western part . of Maine, and possessing one of the finest harbors in the world, where a navy, without losing a spar, might ride out a tempest, it held, in their eyes, e place of no mean import ance. But the iron teeth that grinned on the forts at the mouth of the Pisca taqua had "hitherto- been:. an effectual check upon their courage; Besides, several thousand well-trained soldiers had been collected. there, in anticipation of an attack, and whola companies of volunteers were daily arriving froth the northern part of the state, and even from the Green Mountains, panting with a desire for a conflict. Portsmeuth, was: under martial law. Its long rope-walks, school—houses, and churches, were crowded with . the bpne and muiele of- New England, 'all deterniined - to defend the place to the last extremity. The sea shorn was Walked, for miles, night and day, by a corps of sentinels,'and every precaution taken to guard against surgrise. A notice of the approach of tiftWar . ships soon reached the town. - The tall. flag staff thattad been placed near the mouth of ~, , the river,. and was watched continually from the steeples, was seen to have been inclined- towards ths. sea which was the signal of danger rimed upon. And when the sun,werit down, not knowing how imminent it might be, the excitement that filled the place was tremendous. 'There was mounting in hot haste' and couriers dashed through the, streets like the winds. Every cart and, carriage„was,busy in removing the women--and-valuables to a situation of security,', and' - the -snldiers, burnished theii titme,,Ankrenewed the, changes in lottry.

'A - -double watch was set upon the outposts; , and the soldiers lay down to dream of their homes or of battling for its safety. No sooner had the darkness begun to settle on the sea, than boats just obsery able through the twilight, were seen, passing between the enemy's vessels, and evidently bearing orders, from one to the other and, maturing, their plans.

"It might be done," said a young man whose face had been bronzed by a fa miliarity with all weathers • "it .is near ly dark enough. Come, Bill, what 'say you? there won't be so much light as &trans from a cat's eve in an hour; shall we take a boat then, and, slip along side?" pirt, as a stout fellow of thirty was called, could not permit that a man, Younger than himself, should propose a deed he would shrink from executing, and immediately signified his willing ness to join in the almost reckless en terprise. • The night was cloudy, the darkness had settled thick and heavy, the waves looked !lice a black, undulating pall, and as though to increase the awfulness of their conditions, the. British had ex tinguished their lights, soon.after the ad venturers had launched the boat, and not an object could be traced through the almost palpable blackness, the bOat's distant. They rowed in.silence for some time, and had gone twn-thirds of the distance before either spoke : "Are you sure this, is the right .course, Ned?" at length said' Bill, as they, rested on - their oars.- ,"Httih.l speak lower. No, lam not certain',. but we cannot -be , far from them. If but one star would lookout, it would be better-than this eternal gloom. I cannot even see the lights on the shore, through this fog. What •a murky night we Are out in 1 Gloomy as a grave-yard." "Hang the, British, I had rather meet. a legion of.-them by daylight," whispered Bill i moodily,_ ~ ',"But hark I there they lay, dead, ahead, add getting ready to <make a port-too," 6 continued; as he heard.the lew,grat. /no ef, a cable; as it was slowly.and cau. .tiously drawn up.. .Lightly as theswellow's wing the oars dipped into the brine, silently itS.the-fin of a shark, the boat •cut the water, and directed , ,by 'the, sound, ere_ the anchor swung at the ,bow, they glided.unseen under the very stern of the larger ves sel..: Here They held` last - for several minutes, in breathless .anxiety to catch some word, which should reveal - the de sired secret. -But the humming of voi ces; out' of which nothing distinct could be gattiered,was mingled with the winds, sighing through the rigging, and the dashiing•of the waves against the huge fabric. With their patience nearly worn out, Ned- at length whispered, "Bill, if you can keep your hold I will go abroad and get a full report of these vill'ains' busi ness." The latter was about to reply, when they heard hurried motions on the deck, a large boat was let down, and a dozen men, all of whom by the faint light of a lantern, they discovered to be armed, pushed off toward the - shore that lies south of the'Piscataqui. Scarcely had they gone,' thin Ned, with the assistance of a rope, that drag ged in the water, climbed to the deck. The watch was grouped beside -a-gun -carriage, and Ned, as confidently as though, he'had Amen one: of, the crew, walked by;:.and reaching :the hatchway, descentied to the lower deck. Here he found himself among several , hollered men, a" - part of whom were in their ham mocks. but others although it _was dark as a dungeon, ; appeared ; to be arranging their clothes and, preparing for some desperate enterprise. _ - Almost 'lost in the confueion, he stood motionless at the bottom of , the steps, but,ite had be - there but a moment, when,hearing someone approaching, be stepped aside hastily,and not _knowing where he - might, be, held, out his hands to grope the way. As, chance. would have it, be went directly towards- the head of a sailor who was trying to catch an hour's Sleep before, his night's work should conwence..

Ned stood by, en tirely invisible, but necessarily hearing every word. At was nearly an heur that he stood waiting for them to rise, and listening to , their outbreaks of passion concerning the Americans. "Their men are no bolder than our women,.and their gutts no better than tin horns" ,said one gifufliy. "No, Jack," said the other, and do you know that, once on.a time, about twenty of our gals, °n i che coastof Curnwall,dress ed like sailors, put off' in a gun boat, and took possession of .a Yankee seven ty-four with noother arnis than an old sword V' Ned, boiling-with rage, could not bear such slander, and regardless of Consequences, roared out, "t hat's a lie, you old,-dog."' Beth.sailors, shock ed as though the magazine had expfod ed, pinned towards him, and, awaken ed to a sense of Ilia situatien by his own voice, Ned sprang out a' their reach, and as soon as the,uProar had, in some degree,, subsided, made his way on deck. But here an unexpected event occurred. The boat which had left before he came aboard had just returned, and the crew, when he stepped on deck, were in the act of lifting up a pris(trier.,, Determin ed, if possible, to know wlin it might be, he elbowed his way into the group with admirable coolness, and succeeded in taking an arm of the prisoner,— Wilde notice of their succesi was pass ed below, =Ned found oriportunity to whisper a word of encouragement in the poor fellow's ear, and when the order was given that he should be conducted to the cabin, Ned, unobserved, stole aft and dropped into the boat. The prisoner found the cabin furnish. ed in an elegant, even sumptuous yle. Sofas, book-cases and tables 'of the cost liest woods, rested on a carpet that trod like velvet. Mirrors of enormous di mensions, reflected the occupants at full lengtl„ on every side. A lamp hung above_ a rack that looked like a dazzling pyramid, so rich were the polished sword blades and jeweled hilts, the silver scab bards, the varnished pistols, the steel sa bres and the gins _ ,touched with the highest finish thatkill could give them. Flower vases, filled with beautiful ex otics, were faitened to a 'stand, dins.: ing an agreeable odor through the cab in. An old man with snow-white hair and thoughtful brow, sat in an antique chair of carved-oak, and fashioned after such a luxurious pattern that one might have lounged his life out in it, and net , . er grown weary. A girl, the (laughter of the old man, with such an innocent and sweet countenance as can belong only to a pure mind, and with lips as - - tempting as her own " rese-bnds, was reading when they entered. The pris oner was brought before the hard-featur ed veteran, and the officers arranged themselves about at respectful dis .

"Who are you ?"- "A. soldier in the American army." "And, what duty were you performing on shore 1" "That of a sentinel to watch for the approach of the murdering British 1" "Bridle your inaolence, young man ; you did not perform your duty so well that you can' finest of your -occupation." "Ask your officer which was hardest, his head or my gun-stock. I could not dissolve the night, but I swept aside the co.b•.webs that clouded the stars before his eyes!" "Sir," said the veteran, in a voice hoarse with anger, which he strove to conceal, "What is the force assembled this night in Portsmouth I Recollect that I shall knOvv before morning, and if you deceive me you shall die. at day break." "This morning it was proclaimed that it numbered thirty thousand, and they have five hundred cannon in the town, ready to blow your old hulks out of the water, like cockle shells, if you are so fortunate as to float after the forts have the sifting of you.." The old commander clenched his fist, his face grew white' as his cravat, and he would have ordered the fearless sol dier to instant punisment, for his bold reply, had not his daughter, who • had stolen to his side, pressed his arm, and breaking into tears, whispered mercy. An angel's tears will melt iron ; or, at all - events,'an iron soul, and his coun tenance lost its sternness as he gently put her aside and .directed that the sol dier should be secured, and guarded on the deck for the night. As, he left the cabin, the girl, unseen 14 . het-father, threw her shawl about the soldier's shoulders, and he touched-by so unlooked for kindness, murmured a fervent blessing upon her, young heart. The night grew darker as the minutes' ,glided,.by. The mist was so dense that it was impossible tOo 'distinguish even the 'obtline' of'ari object, ail feet diatantv 'and it seemed that the clouds rested up. en, the, waves and enveloped the ship.

As for life, they plied their oars, but they had scarcely left the ship when they heard.the alarm given upon its decka.--. calls for lights and shouts that the prig. otter had escaped, followed. Lanterns flew through the ship, anditll was chg. fusion. The bold. fellows in the boat saw all, and felt, in that deep darkness, that it was impossible for the British to overtake them;, and althOugh within pistol shot, they were unable to restrain their joy, but with that fearlessness that characterises American sailors, rested on their oars and gave three hearty cheers. Scarcely had the last tutus left their lips; than a stream of fire shot out from the ship, and the deep boom of a cannon awakened them to their for iy. Though fired at random, they heard the ball whistle by, very near them.— The boatswain's shrill call to quarters rose on the night, and the sailors ex pecting an attack every moment, rushed to defend their decks. Our heroes reached the shore safely, and the sentinel, released of hit shack les, was ready to resume his arms and his duty. The night passed heavily and in suspense, but in the morning the sun rose from his bed, looking clear and cold as an icicle. The sea was blue but calm, and every ship was gone, and not a speck dotted it from the shore to the horizon. The British had given over all attempts on Portsmouth, but whether restrained by the crafty story of the trusty sentinel, or the valiant cheering of the men in the boat, will, perhaps, ever be a point in dispute. The Supreme Court rif the United States. The Deed Scott Case* THE orricat REPORT Continued from last week's issue it is impossible, it would seem to be lieve that the great men of the slave holding States, who took so large a abate in framing the constitution of the Unit• ed States, and exercised so much indu. ence.in procuring its adoption, could haVe beery so forgetfull or regardless of their own Safety and the safety of thosie who trusted and confided in them. Besides, this want of foresight and care would have been utterly inconsist ent with the - caution displayed in provi ding for the admission of new members into this political family; for when they gave to the citizens of each State the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States, they at the same time took from the several States the power of naturalization, and confined that power exclusively to the federal government. No State was willing to permit another Stateto determine who should or should not be admitted as one of its citizens, and entitled to demand equal rights and `privileges with their own people within their =own territories_ The right of nat. uralization was, therefore, with one ac. cord, surrendered by the Stales, and con fided to the federal government. And this power granted to Congress to es tablish an uniform rule of naturalisation is, by the well-understood meaning of the word, confined to persons born in a foreign country, under a foreign govern. ment. It is not a power to raise to the rank of a citizen any one born in the United States, who from birth or par entage, by the laws of the country, be• longs to an inferior and subordinate class and when we find the States guarding themselves from the indiscreet, or im proper admission by other Statle.pf em igrants from other countries, Ity.4iving the power exclusively to Congress, we cannot fail to see that they could never have left with the States a much more important power—that is, the power of transforming into citizens a numerous class of persons, who in that character would be much more dangerous to the peace and safety of a large portion of the Union than the few foreigners one of the States might improperly natural. ize. The constitution upon its adop tion obviously took from the States all power by any subsequent legislation to introduce as a citizen into the political family to the United Utates any one, no matter where he was- born, or what might be his eharaciir or condition ; and it gave to Congoss tire power to confer this character upon those only who were born outside of the dominions of the United States; ani no law of li tt State, therefore, i gassethkr . ice the con stitution was adopted, can give any right of citizenship outside of its own terri tory. A clause similar to the one in the constitution,, in relation to the rights and immunities of citizens of one State in the other States, was contained in-the Articles of. Confederation. But there is a difference of language, which is worthy :of note. The provision in the Articles of Confederation vvas,'"that the free inhabitants .of each of the States, phuperre, vagabon l as,:and.fugittves from justiCe excepted,should be entitled to all ihe` privileges and immunities of free 'citizens in the-several States." It Will be obterved - that, under - this Confederation, each State had the right to decide for itself, and in its own trib unals whom it would acknowledge as a freeinhabitant of another State.
