city, that under the army regulations, and also by
repeated decisions of the Supreme Court of the Uni

against the United States, which have been refused
at the accounting offices, are well founded in law
and equity. The insult of this, will be that General

cause in our country. This publication was pro.
posed at the Convention held last December in Did
timore, and Mr. J. S. BannimsoOdhat city has un
dertaken its editorial charge. The typographical ex
ecution of the work is highly creditable, and the ex
perience of the editor, as a rural economist, will
gu

terms are, two dollars per annum, in advance, and
the first number will be furnished to ell, who feel in

It s needless for es to say a . word on the impor

favorably known—his reputation as a scholar, a
gentleman, and an actor, is enviable v and as a writ
er, his style is vigorous and pleasing. There bia
novelty in his manner of conducting his magazine,
which is quite -efreshing ; his philosophy is .41 the
humorous kind, and his reflections are tinged with
a wit, that renders them uresistable. His Ci3Dinbli
tors are among the first in the conntry—:-the subjects
of their articles, of general interest, and well han
dled—the book adorned with engravings and cuts
from celebrated artists, and every thing just as eve
ry body wants it. What more can be required in
an editor we know not—then what mote can be re

Mr. Clay't Speech.—The master effort of this
great statesman, has been his recent speech en abo
lition. It was delivered on• the occasion of his pre
senting to the U. S. Senate, a petition from the in
habitants of the district of Columbia in which "they
express their regret that the subject of the abolition
of slavery within the district continues to be pressed
aeon the consideration of Congress by inconsiderate
and misguided individuals in other parts of the Uni
ted States. They state that they do not desire the
abolition of slaistry within the district, even if Con
gress possesses the very questionable power of abol
ishing it, without the consent of the people whose
interests would be immediately and directly afrected
by the measure; that it is a question solely between
the people of the district and their only constitution
al Legislature, purely municipal, and one in which
no exterior influence or interest can justly interfere;
that, if at any future period the people of this district
should desire the aboliton of slavery within it, they
will doubtless make their wishes knoivn, when it
will be time enough to take the matter into consider
ation ; that they do not, on this occasion, present
themselves to Congress because they are slavehol
ders—many of them are not—some of them are con
scientiously opposed to slaveiy—rut they appear
because they justly respect the rights of those who
own that description of property, and because they
entertain a deep conviction that the continued agita
tion of the question by those who have no right to
interfere with it, has an injurious influence on the
peace and tranquility of the community and upon
the well-i eing and happiness of those who are held
in-subjection ; finally they protest as well against the
unauthorized intervention of which they complain, as
against any legislation on the part of Congress in
compliance therewith." •
These views were defended by - Mr. Clay in a
speech, the interest of which has never been equal
led. It places him now before his countrymen, as
the mediator between conflicting parties, and if the
opponents of slavery will read his views attentively,
we feel confident, they will carry conviction to every
mind. We regret that its length prevents our pub.
lishing the speech entire—we cannot however fore
go the gratification of transcribing the conclusion.
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 lib
erty. Wherever it is safe and practicable, I desire
to see every portion of the human family in the en
joyment of it. But I prefer the liberty of my own
country to that of any other people. The liberty of
the descendants of Africa in the United States, is
incompatible with the safety and liberty of the Eu
ropean descendants. Their slavery forms an excep
tion—en exception resulting from a stern and inex
orable necessity—to the general liberty in the United
States. We did not originate, nor are we responsi
ble for, this necessity. Their liberty, if it were pos.
ble, could only be established by violating the incorr
testible powers of the States, and subverting the

DT PAUL ROBOLEWSRI OT POLAND.
If thou shalt ever meet
Spring's sweetest, loveliest rose,
With balmy breezes sweet,
Whose cheek with brightness glowi
Like Orion's purest light-- •
Whose words breathe but delight—
And if she ask with love for me,
*Tie Josephine—be sure 'tis she t
If.like the silent dream
When flowingtforithout noise—
Or like the moon's sweet beam,
From thoughtless crowds she flies—
To all she knows, is kind,
Pure, noble mid refined,
And if she ask with love for me,
Alis Josephine—be sure tie she !
If thou shalt-see a tear •
Roll down her rosy cheek,
And date loth appear
• With feeling pure to speak— _>)
And in her brightest eye,
Thou shalt see modesty,
Anil if she ask with love for me,
Arm Josephine—be awe 'tis she!
• If thou shalt ever 'see,
'Some orphans—or the ptior-
Who driven by poverty,
'Enter her welcome door—
And if her heart doth beat
With sympathy replete,
ME if she ask with lose for me,
rTis,Josephine—be aure.tis she!
'But if thou ere of love.
'To her by chance shalt speak,
And if a tear of sorrow,
Do net bedew her cheek,
' AM not a sigh she give--
Her bosom doss not heave,
And if she does not ask for me,
My Josephine—it is not she!
