who was him Self sitting on a sofa in the hall of
his residence , and as each, pers - on entered. Ger.,
Clay introduced him to the hero, and he passed
along. When Judge Douglass was thus
troduced to him, Gen. Jackson raised his bril

countenance of the. Judge, still retaining his
hind: "Are you the Mr. Douglass, ofllliuois,
who delivered a speech last session on the su b.
jest of the fine Imposed on me for declaring
inertial law at . New Orleans ?" asked Gen.
ackson. .‘I have delivered a speech in the
House o Opresentatwes upon L. at ISU•JOU,
was the modest reply of_ our friend. "Then
stop ;" said Gen. Jackson, "sit down here be
aide me! I desire to return you my thanks
for that speech.—You are. the first man
that has ever relieved my mini on that
bubject which has rested on it, for thirty years.
My enemies have always charged me with vio
lating the constitution of my country-by de
claring martial law at New Orleans ; and my
friends have always admitted the violation, but
have contended that Caecircuinstancesjustified
we in t a at violation. I never could understand
--bovr it was that the performance of a solemn
duty to my country—a duty which, if I had
neglected to . pei form, would have made me
traitor in the'sight of God and man—could
properly be pronounced a violation of the Con
" stitution. I felt convinced, in my own mind,
that I was not guilty of suchbenious offence ;
but I could never make out a legal justifica
tion at my-course, nor has it. ever been done.
sir, until you, on the floor of Congress, at the
late session, established it beyond the possi-
bility of cavil or doubt. I Shank you for that
speech ; it has relievernay mind from the only
circumstance that rested pautiully upon it.
Throughout my whole life, I never performed
an'Official act which I view as a violation of
the constitution ()Inv country, and I can now
go down to the grave in peace. with perfect
consciousness that I have net broken at any
period of my life the constitution of my coun
try."
Chonchology of Crabs.
Ht. ay A. WISE ON ' HARD SIIELLS AND SEA.
Ftsu.-The rollowing amusing passage occurs
ina letter written in October by Hon. Henry
A. Wise, of Virginia, to the National Demo
cratic Meeting in New York :
You must not wonder that your Democratic
friends in Virginia are often confused bynames
and things in New York. We wish to-See a
united democracy there on the old grounds of
Jefferson and Jackson. We hear of hard, and
soft, and half-shells; and the ideas we form of
them canbe best illustrated by a subject of.
natural history. We have in our waters, gen
tlemen, a crustaceous animal called a - cra, a
sea fish, with tins and claws at both ends, and
it can run either end foremost. Poke at him
this way, and he runs that—that way, and he
runs this ! He is remarkable, gentleinen, for
his transformations. At one time, catch him
and crack his claw, and his shell is hard; very
hard, hard enough for barnacles to grow upon
his back, and it will not separate pr be detach
ed from the inner cuticle. In that state he is
the hard crab proper. At another time, catch
him and crack his claw- 7 -when he its hard be
sure to crack his claw, gentlemen—and you
will find that, though his outer shell is still
very hard, yet it will separate, and can be de
tached from the inner cuticle or film-over the
muscles. He is then called the "peeler ;" his
shell will peel oft' from, without breaking, the
inner shell. Later, catch him, and ,you need
not crack his claw to see what he is, for his
outer shell is then opening at every suture,
m the crab is swellM2,- out of its hard and
taking upon itself its soft shell. In that state
be is called a "buster," bursting its shell ;
and, as "peeler"•or "buster." lie is very fat,
and a bait fit to catch the very "monarchs of
the deep" with! Later still, he has slipped
out. of his hard shell, by a sort of peristalic
znotion, and left it along* ° the strand, and has
become wholly a soft crab. In that state he is
glia bait too, and is re ed u on b , hard crab
and other fishes, and he is inert, anti can hard
ly crawl out of harm's way. Then, again, this
same crab, gentlemen, begins to harden from
soft to hard again, as he had before softened
from hard to soft. Found in this, his second
intermediate state, he has become poor but
more active, is mot so good for bait, and he is
called a "buckram," for that he is so like the
fabric of that name, and his shell is then flexi
ble like vellum. So that you see ave have an
idea of some hards who are —peelers," tending
to soft, and of some soft who are •kbuckrarn,'
tending to hards. And the-re issocli a harden
ing to soft and such a softening to hard, that
we cannot distinguish the politicians of New
York as we do the crabs—soinetimes by sight,
sometimes by touch, and sometimes by crack
ing their claws. But this Ido .say, that I
think I can see you are democrats .; that I can
distinguish you, ta nniistakal,ly, by the platform
of principle you have put forth, and I am anx
ious and ready to stand by and with and for
any portion of the democracy of New York
who will unite on the platform of civil and re
ligious liberty, as defined by the constitution
and ball of rights of our State and federal gov
ernments, and as defended by our State sorer
eignities and our federal Union. I cannot, and
will not, unite with any Wilmot proviso, with
any dark-lantern, or with any sumptuary4aw
party !
"Wnenn no .ruc SroNGEs G(' )?"—They are
too large to be concealed, and too remarkable
to be overlooked ; and yet, year after year, we
are shipping-from twenty to thirty tons of
sponges—or about twenty-five millions of sep

We have seen cloth, hats and shoes—all said
to be made of the sponge—bat we don't believe
. of it. The demand and the price fur

ANEW BOOK COMING!--We have
the )'e.Lsuw of armouncinv that We fiat'f.
in press, and shall publish about the Ist of
December, a new 1% nrk, of fiction, 'n - titled
ROSE CLARK, a Romance, by FANNY FEUN.
The last work, and first continuous tale of
i this brilliant and fascinating anthoreAs, "Ruth
i Hall," achieved a success unexampled in the
!annals of letters. In the langnage of a leading
periodical, it "created a more profound.sensa;
ti on than iftly which has been issued during
a (patter of a century." But-it is unneees
sary to allude to the merits , of "Ruth Hall."
I Juidging from the number of copies of it we
have sold,, we judge that everybody in the
United Stales has read it. As Tf'tipPe 11 the
work we have now in press; Rose Clark, we
can only say we regard it as in every respect,
a greater, better work, and we are confident it
will nut only sustain, hut even 'ineresase the
reputation, of its distinguished authoress.—
We have'reasons for thinking "Rose Clark"
will make a greater sensation than did "Ruth
Hall."
It will form an elegant 12 mo volume of
over 400 pages. Price $1,25, on receipt of
which copies will he sent by mail post-paid.
It will be for sale by all book sellers.
ta-6) . Any newspaper giving this advertise
