Titc• [soy triz OF A Sl.7ail.E. DISTIIIC IN
sst lA.—We a or two since (says the
l'l,ilailelphia Inquirer) alluded to a speech deliver
,d in Congress by the Hon James Irwin, one of the
representatives from this State. We have since
been endeavoring to find a place for it entire in our
columns.—But this seeming to be impossible, for the
present at least, we proceed to condense a few of its
more important passages. Mr. Irwin contended
earnestly against the doctrines that to encourage our
own industry by legislative enactments, was to tax
the many for the benefit of the few. He insisted
that. a Tariff or duty on foreign manufacture, suffi
cient ressonably to protect and encourage our own
citizens engaged in such business, was not merely
calculated to benefit the few capitalists who arc cwn
ers, but to diffuse advantages throughout the whole
populatii n of fl) country in a proportionate de-
26-1 9
He then proceeded to illustrate his argument, by
citing die result in his own district: The principal
manufacture, he said, that is carried on there is the
manufacture 'of iron ; there are many others of differ
ent kinds, but of rather minor importance, and I will
at this time tontine myself to the iron trade alone.
According to the return of the census now in the
State. Department, that branch of industry .is put
down ac follows, to wit : The number of furnaces
now in. ep:ration is 33, producing 24,981 tons pig
metal ; number of forges and rolling mills 42, pro
ducing according to returns 23,456 tons bl, , onos, and
bar iron; but in this latter article there is evident by it
mistake in the returns, and I set the quantity down
from the best calculation I can make at about
twenty thousand tons, worth about $1,300,000. The
number of workmen employed is 3 ; 072, mostly men
with families, and according to an estimate I have
made, and which I believe is very near correct, prob
ably 'Hither under than over the actual amount.
There is annually consum-d - by taose works, of the
production of the farmer, 290,000 bushels of wheat,
400,000 bushels rye and corn, three millions pounds
beef and pork, and other articles, such as potatoes,
vegetables, butter, cheeSe, hay, straw, &c., to the
amount of $150,000, making, in all, the sum of
of $700,000 of the production of the farmer. Then
there are the necessary ciiticles 'for wear, which are
generally of northern and eastern manufacture, a
mounting ty at least $350,000, and for groceries,
salt, tobacco, &c., a , further sum of slso,ooo—ma
king, C.;l al!, the actual amount of $1,200,000, which
sum has been scattered all over tPcountry.
Now does it appear from this that only a few cap.
asitsts wire beretitted, or does it nut show that the
many have, been the gainers In the first place,
there are upwards of :3 ,0 0 , workmen, who are em
ployed at better wades than they could have received
at other labor ; then there is the $700,000 paid for
agricultural articles, some of which are the produce
of other States, as a great portion of oar beef and,
pork comes from Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana ; h and
I would say to the honorable gentleman from ken
lucky, that we have furnished a pretty good market
fur the mules of his State for several years past ;
then dad the $350,000 -paid to the north for their
manufactures, (one half at least ore cotton goods,
the raw materials of course from the Southern states,)
and the $150,00 for groceries and other articles
paid-10 the merchant and foreign importer, and you
woof - din-At the advantages spread over the w1..01e bind,
and a 'very small balance left to be divided among
the hundred Capitalists, as they are called. The
truth is, that for the last year or two the receipts
have scarcely met the expenditures. There is one
fat, I would call the attention of the committee to_
thatwe consume nearly, if riot all, the coarser kinds
of grain produced in the district, and generally at
prices equal to the market in Baltimore, although
two hundred miles in the interior, and I have known
corn purchased in Philath Iphia and boated up the
Pennsylvania canal, and consumed by a manufacturer
in Huntingdon county.

DEATH ca rne to a beautiful boy at play,,
As he sat 'mong the summer flowers;
But they seena'd to wither and die away
In their very 'sunniest hours.
" I have come," in a hollow voice, said Death,
"To play on the grass with thee;'
IlLt the boy look'd frighten'd and held his breath,
In the midst of his childish glee.
" Away, n ay from my &weirs," he said,
"For I know, and love thee not;"
look'd at the boy, and Shook his head :
Then slowly he left the spot.
He met a maiden in girlhood's bloom,
And the rose on het cheek was bright,
And she shuddered, as rho' a ghost from the tomb
Had risen before her sight.
Stir' stood by „the prink of a fountain clear—
In its waters her beauty viemi'd,
When death, "with his haggard face, drew ! near,
And be i nnie the maiden stood.
"Fair Da msrl,!' he said, with a courtly pride, ;
"To thee I Giis,goblet quaff."
But she turncd•with a buoyant step aside,
And tied with a ringing laugh. _
/llc
. jitiriley'd on, where an old man sat
Oh the trunk urn worn-out tree;
A poor old titan; for Lis held out hat
Was al:zypibul 'of beggary.
Death drew quite near, fill the old man's op;s
Were raised to his wrinkled race;
Willi a fi I gliten'd look of wild surprise,
Ile rose from hisi.esting place.
" I come to r.uecor," Death mildly said,
But the old man would depart ;
Again lie and t‘hinsk his head,
- Fur he knew hull well his mart.
"They all of tliem,a buddering, turn away ;
The boy in lila childi: , ll glee,
The maiden young, and the old man gray :
Yet they all shall come to me."
And lie gather'd them all, (or the boy was weak—
Thcotel man yielded his breath;
And the ruse grew pale on the matdcres check,
As she. sank in the arms of D.ath.
The ab)ve may be referred to as a fair specimen
of the general arguments and facts submitted by Mr.

-' Lope is the mistress of us all."
g How smooth the surface of the river is this eve
ning? Surely the current is gentle enough to tempt
even the timid Mary to venture a sail,' said I. half
ironically. • Come, here is abo t, let us cross over
and spend an hour with the M saes li—: ' But
it may be dark before we ret rn, and then—' she
hesitated. d Thin we will retu by the bridge,' said
I. .It is alielightful evening, and the lasi, too, that
I shall spend in your pleasant village for the present,
so let u%enjoy it.' ..
She made no reply, but placing her hand in mine
permitted me to seat her in the boat. A few strokes
' - of the oar and we gained the centre of the river. The
dwelling of the Misses H— was situated a short
distance below, and yielding ourselves to the current
we floated slowly down.
Report hod assigned to Mary W— the unenvia
ble reputation of a heartless coquette. The village
gossips would recount her almost numberless con
quests, especially among the students of the neigh
boring College. Many a fascinated under-graduate
'had thought more of her than of his studies, and re
ceived for his trouble a coquette's smiles and his
tutor's frowns. Mary was indeed beautiful, and full
of that graceful light-heartedness, which more than
even beauty bewitches one, but which is so often,
alas! found united with heartless coquetry. At first
I was lead to believe that what seemed the general
opinion was true. But I soon thought otherwise. I
could not but belicve that a form so lovely enshrined
a heart—a heart, too, susceptible of the purest and,
holiest passion that mortals know. My classmates,
however, only smiled and shook their heads nt what
they called my infatuation. But I b-d noted her
actions for some time closely, and in a measure un
observed. The more I saw the more I was convin
ced that Mary had yet to love, and that when she
did, it would be with a fever of which few are capa
ble. Meantime our slight acquaintance gradually
became intimacy, and it was said by the village gos
sips that I would soon be added to the catalogue of
her victims. Thus the time passed• by until the pe
riod for my departure had arrived, and on leaving
my room on the last evening of my stay, I determin
ed to know if she was the heartless being so general.
ly considered; or if she was capable of loving and
being loved.
For once her usual vivacity had deserted her, and
our walk on this evening was, unlike the many which
preceded it, almost a silent one.
We return by the bridge, do we ?' she inquired,
as we left the Misses H—.
If you . prefer it. The distance .s considerable,
however; perhaps it will be too fatiguing.'
•
• Oh ! no,•l like a long walk sometimes.'
A few vain attempts at conversation, and we again
walked on in silence. We had nearly reached her
home, when she hesitatingly inquired—
. May I ask you a question r
.yes, two if you wish,' I replied, somewhat piqued
at her previous reserve;
Who is Ellen C—r
A cousin of mine, and a pretty one, too.'
You correspond with her r
Yes, and hope to see her soon.'
She is a lovely creature; such an one
As poets love to dream o 1 artists paint."
We had now reached the grounds enclosing her
father's residence. Instead of taking the path direct
to the house, we had, unu'iszrved by me, taken one
leading to a. small arbor, where we
_had lreqUently
spent an hour in idle converse or in leading some
favorite author.
I am fatigued, let us rest a while,' said Mary, as
we reached it. We entered. I observed on the
seat a volume of Tasso's Jerusalem which I had given
her. I took it up. Her glove was lying between
the leaves opening to a particular passage—a favor
ite of mine. Apparently without noticing it, I re=
ferred to the pages which I had been reading that day
and then spoke of some new publications which I
had just ie.ceived, offering to send them to her for
perusal during my absence in vacation.
But you will call again before you leave l'
I think not. -lily uncle's carriage vi ill arrive in
the morning, and we shall leave as soon as the com
mencement is over.'
But you can call for a moment at least.'
Do you wish it 1'
She looked up reproachfully. A tear stood trem
bling in her eye. My arm encircled her waist and
gently drew her to me. Our *ups met ; the first long
kiss of lose was given, and her head. sunk upon my
bosom. We breathed no vow, bit that ii.orneut has
long been to me the holiest one in memory. •
• • •• • I hear

The news from China which we give, is not so

that is preying on its vitals—so is it the ii..ture of
woman, to hide from the world the pangs of woun

ways shy and silent. Even wheal fortunate, she
scarcely breathes it to herself; Lut when otherwise,
she biaries it in the recesses of her bosom, and there
lets it cower and brood among the ruins of her peace.
With her, the desire of heart ha. failed—the great
charm of existence is nt an end. She neglects all
the cheerful exercises, which gladden the spirits,
quicken the pulses, and send the tide of life in health
ful currents through the veins. Her Testis broken—
the sweet refreshment of sleep is poisoned by melan

DEATH OF THE MONSTER !-Chi Saturday last, (saytr
the U. S. Gazette) the Directors of the Rank of the
United States made an assignment of most of 'the
valuable assets of that institution to the following
named gentlemen:—James Robinson, President;
J. S. New cold. a Director ; Richard Bayard, of Dela
ware ; Thomas S.' Taylor, Casliicr ; Herman Cope,
At.sistant Cashier.
The preferences, if they can be so denominated,
are ape of, two smug demands: next, those individu
al,. arc tcelbe secured who have made themselves re
spons:blekfeir any liabilities ul the Rank, particularlY
tii.e elm have entered security on judgments re
cently dhluined against the Bank on its notes,
amounting, we think, to nearly two hundred thou
sand dollars. The proceeds of the remaining por
tion of the assets are to be appropriated for the bene
fit of the general creditors, the note holders, eeposi
torF,•&c.•
Thc assignment alloWs to Messrs. Robinson,; Ba
yard and Newbold Sfteen huiiiircd dollars a year each
for their services, and to Messrs Taylor and f.opo.
four thousand dollars a year each. This is rather a
.a diminution than an increase cilexpcnser,inasmucti
as Mr. Robinson relinquishes his salary.ot five thou
sand dollars a year as Preside ut , and Messrs. Tylor
and Cope have reci lied sCashier and assistant Casth
ier the same salary which is now, given to them.
The new arrangement will, of course, cause the dui
urissalof most of the clerks hithertoeuiployed in the
institution. Mr. Robinson continues to act as Pres
dew,. while ho discharges the duty of trustee.'
