After the transaction of busine:4s of a price nature, Mr. Guy rose.ao‘l spoke I , li vl. 4 Mr. CI-%T said that he arose for the purpose of cooking a motion, but, before doing so, he would In•g love to make a single observation.in relation to a subject which he should 'leave unfinished lor mant the resolutioTis .which lie had proposed a: amendment. , to the C-onstitution of the United States. He had wislyd Prior to his retirement, from the Scnafe, to obtain an ex pressi at of its sense on these amendments; but, owing to ill,: health and the state of the business of the body, and owing also to the a b senc e o f severa l hi s friends, lie had thought it to lie, unnecessary to call for such an expression, or to reply to the :dile aniuments which had been used on the other side in opposi'ion to these amendments. However, he would leave the subject in the hands of the Semite, to lie disposed of as its meinbers might thiiik proper, and he would remark that notwith standing all that he hail hearol:the opinions winch he entertained when lie introduced these amend ments remained unchanged. And now he hoped that he would be allowed to announce, formally, his retirement from the Senate of the United, Mates, and he trusted' that lie would be pardoned for availing himself of the occasion to make a few observations with regard to himself. He remark ed that he entered the Senate, of the UnitiaP.States in I sn6, and at th t time he regarded it as he now did. as a body which 'might be compared, withnut disadvantage, to any legidative body that ever exi-tail, either in ancient or modern times, whether they looked to its dignity, its powers, or to the mode of its constitution, and, he would so add, as to the amount of the ability which he would lease behind him on his revrement. In -comparison with the - Chamber of - Peers of France and the House of Peers of England—he was sure it could be made without the least disadvantage to the American Senate ; and with respect to the constieution of these• bodies, their members held their places in virtue of no 6legated authority. but derived their power by e a creation of the 'Crown. transmitted through -a course of heredita 'ry events, or the issuing of nerVprotents; but here a different state of things existed ; fur Senators held the pi:oud title of representatives of sovereign States, of Common erealths. He had long been in the service of the United Slates, and lie now desired to seek that repose which wits citt'y t . . 7) be fouhd in the bosom of his family, in private life, and at his home. It had been his purpose to ter minate his Senatorial career, in NoVeriber, in4q,, after the conchtiion of the struggle.wtoich'ehar acterized that yber ; but having at that time Nam ed that an exult session of Congress was to be called, .and winch his subsequent - reflections prompted him to think was inevitahle,•he felt de sirous, prior to his retirement, to co-operate with his friends and with the Senate of the United States, in restoring the prosperity of the countri% by the adoption of the measures which, in their iinhzement, were best calculated to accomplish the object ; and therefore he concluded to attend the extra session. It was called. as is well known, by the lamented Harrison But he died, and the :succession which took place produced a new as pect in the public affairs of the country. Had thmeral Harrison lived, he (Mr. Clay) did not entertain a particle of doubt that eveay measure which it was hoped would have been accomplish ed at the extra session would have b een liv the comperatien ofithe Executive branch iv tilt the Legislative branch ; anul he hoped that he mi•Mt he allowed to say, with respent, that if' there be any one who, free front part. feelings . viol party bias, would reflect With candor and jus tice, he would approach' to the conclusion to - wlech he (Mr. ('lay) thought that the country :would come, that. if there was any thing to com plain of in council ton with the extra session, 'it was not so much as to what Was done, but what was left undone. Had Harrison lived, and the measures which were so desirable been carried out, he would have resigned his scat; he did not do so, becaue lie indulged the hope, the vain hope, that, nt the regular seekiim of Congress. what had been unaccomplislied at the 'extra ses sion would have been ace omplished in some of the forms proposed,.or that tiro re would be' sonic equivalent ; but, events soon 'after the extra ses sion, events resulting from a failure to accomplish the objects of the extra session, events which seemed to throw on - his friendS , every where ap parent defeat, induced him to •attend at the regu lar session, and, whether in adversity or prosper ity, to share the fortunes of his friends. Not :Withstanding, he came here with the purpose he was-now about to effectuate—to retire as soon as he could, from the public councils. From 1806, the period of his entering the Senate, down to the present time, With but-short intervals, he had - been engaged in the service of his country. Of the nature and value of his services, during that long career, it dill-not bcconie him to speak, - but history, if it should design to notice Masi would, ' he-did not doubt, transmit to 'posterity an impar tial record.

His public actssand . conduct were subject.; of public judgment, but the private inotices of his actions, those which have prompt ed him. to take the part which he had taken, could be known only to the Great Inspector of human hearts, and to himself; and he trusted that he migh . t, be pardoned for repeating an obser vatimi which he made thirteen years agp. What- ever errors he may have committed, and doubtless lie had committed many, many, since he entered the public service, he might appeal to the Be- sign Beil4 for the truth of the declaration; which he made with great pride and confidence, that he had been actuated by no motives, with a deal of personal aggrandizement, in the advoca- ey of measur •s upon which he had been called to act ; but he had an cy e, and a single eye, and a heart, and a single heart, deroteAl to the best in tereAs hf his country. During tills long period, he had not escaped the fate of Other - public men; he-had been the object ol hitter and unmeasured detraction and calumny ; and he had borne it, he would not say almost with composure, but ire had borne it without creating any disturbance here. He had borne it with an un•haken confidence that the -triumph of truth and justice was certain, and that ;time would settlir all things as they should be settled. He had porde it under the conviction' that nu injury Au him would result fri , m it, and that He to whom they were all re sponsible would acquit him, whatever injustice he might experience at the hands of those who maligned airn. But he had not been unaustain- ed daring this time. Every where on the ywide spread continent., he had enjoyed the benefit of warm-hearted, enthusiastic friends, who sppreciat- ed justly the motives by which he had been actuat ed ; and, if he had suitable language he woulit here make to them a .public acknowledgment for their kindness and affection. If he had been giiilty of a want of expression of gratitude towards those friends, what should he say, what could he say, at all l'ollllllellAll rate with the many tokens of appro bation received from those whose Semaiir he had no long been 1 He emigrated to Kentm ky forg ave years ago, and went there as an orphan, as one who had not attained m ijority ; as an orphan who had novel recognized a father's love. lie was p or and penniless, without the favor of the grt at. w oh an tin and inadequate education, and limited to the means for this one object. He bad scarcely put his foot on.the soil of that State be fore he was calla:iced with. parental fondness, arid caressed like her own child ; arid from that day to this, her choicest honors, always unsolicited, had been showered upon him. When he stood, in the darkest moments of hts existence, abandon ed by the world, and ealimmiated by his own countrymen, she threw around hint her impene trable shield, and, bearing him aloft, repelled the attacks of malignancy and detracti. n.

An epithet had recently been'applted to him whether for the purpose of honor or detraction he did riot ,know.. He had beer. held up to pie country as p Dictator. The idea of a dictatorship was drawn from Roman institutions, rind when tt was created the perdun who was invested with that authority had - ciincentrand in his person till the powers of Stale ; all the property and the life of every citizen were in his hands ; he could raise armies without levies arid revenue without law.

And although he did nut know when the commission of dictatorship harp date—he supposed, however, from the extra session—they moot admit that if he hatdbecome invested with or usurped the power of a Dictator, he had voluntarily surrendered it much sooner titan the time fixed by the H n tan law for its con tinuance.

Mr. President. and Mes-ieurs Senators, I bid you. one and all, a long, a last fare well ! We fiind in the New York Courier and Enqui rer, a communication on the evil limes and their remedy, from which we make the following ex tract : o The grand remedies would be a National Bank, a Tariff. and aid furnished by the Federal power to the States. The first is out of the ques tion will' our present President, and the present majorities in Congress. He is against the meas ure, and there is not a constitutional majority in Congress to overrule his objections. A tariff is recommended by the President of over twenty per cent. Let that go to thirty, and let t it go there quickly. for the patient needs presenfremedies, if lie is to be saved at all. Next Congress should pass an act furnishing securities for the `state debts in the shape of stock. to the amount of two hundred millions of dollars, if necessary, and place it beneath these State debts as security. Mon may start at this proposition. but Why should they What are they f Are their not to the Federal power, what a family of isons are to a parent f What parent, having twen ty-six sons scattered over the common domain— industrious, enterprising, honorable sons--who in the course of their improvements, and the up.. ward and onward-course of their prosperity, should be suddenly paralized by the inroads of a despot, until their means were, for the present, dried up, and their power to command them fir the present inoperative, and yet with big hearts, and noble souls and undaunted courage, were doing all they could dd to rid themselves of debt, brought upon them by the tyrant. I ask _what parent, having", the power of relief, and even hesitating moment to grant it;, would be looked upon in any other light than as a monster f The States of this Uni on, I assume it, stand in the same relation to the Federal power as such a family of sons would stand to a common parent. The obligation to relieve in the ono case, is no less binding than in the other. I assume it, and it can ho proved, that any ab rogation of, or interference with the Land Bill, (except to modify and sustain it.) by suspending its operations. would ieflict a yet eeeper wound upon the credit of both the Federal Government, and that of the States, and injure, deeply, radical ly injure, instead of benetitting either.

It was on one of those glowing evening; -of sunny south, when the clouds are gilded it splen dor to await the departing god of light, afte a hard day's toil in pursuit of a tiger, which at Oat f e ll wounded by the ripe of . Graham, and was finally despatched by the tomahawk of his swarth: friend, that the young t , fficer first experienced tht witch ery of love.

In this simple, yet ingeniously consiruced al couch. the young hunter reposed hr wean, while Nittitieoece watched his dtturbed Teen, apd a.pu:ed her bill fancy with his dlirtous unittoriiip in a liingua , ze she could not cimpre- bend, whilst she carefully, with a fan tren' from the leathers of the pinnawatv, or wild tut key, nush ed away the intrusive musketoes, or the to less. annoying sand flies. :the; a few hours' repose, Captain Graham a woke refreshed and turning his still halfelosed eyes, they rested upon a face of beauty of to pe culiar a character, and in such perfect aceodanee with his own romantic disposition, that ha very ,soul felt suddenly a thrill ho had never liefre ex perimiced. Beside him stood, iii blushing uodes ty, a perfect child of nivure— her dazzlii.;.leaek ; eyAllaaittig fire under an excitement entirey new to her unsaphisticated and pri louse consumion —she felt abashed, yet new not why—whikt Gra ham drank deep and largely at the first sping ul love, and dwelt with rapture upon the perfil um metry of her firm as she leaned against if huge trunk of the oak under which he had slept. Natbleogeo possessed not only a face olloveli ness, hut a form which might vie in beautyof pro portion with the most exquisite production; of the Roman or Grecian sculptor. Her costume was such as would shock the re fined modesty of the more intellectual lass of white females; but nature knows no shone but that of sin, and assuredly, if virtue consist of pu rity of thought, sentiment, or action. Ib artlr as girl was pure as t' , e fountain which Jail; reflect ed with her unrivalled charms. The upper part of her form, according to the custom of her tribe, was left uncovered—ter long black htir floated to the winds, unbraidid, over her finely proportioned shoulders, and as no zeph yrs caught the unconfined trdsses, they world play upm a bu:4 Venus herself might have proudly owned. Her head wis surmounted by a tuft of feathers plucked from the wings of the snow white ortolo, or virgin crane, interspersed with those of the gaudy crimsoned flaming i—the whole i confined by pearls of value collected among the Islands at the southern extiemity of the peninsula of Florida. She wore a skirt of Chnsaee, or fawn's skin of the softest texture, which was embroidered with minute sea shells, interspersed with pearls of rare beauty. and extraordinary magnitude, and further ornamsnted with strips of ermine skins and a set riely of feathers of the richest hue. This huk- kasykee, as it is denominated intho .arninole lan guso,e, extended horn her waist to a little belol, her knees Her beautifully formed legs were encased in uphetaikas, also made of Ghassee, ornamented at -the outsides by a double row of beads—a pair of prettily worked moccasins, or Indian shoes, made to correspond with other portions of her dress, completed the attire of the chieftain's niece. Nathleocee was the orphan daughter of a neigh boring king, who had hoen killed in a battle; from infancy she had been. leered and cherished by her uncle with all the find affection which a noble minded man feels for a lovely object looking up to him for protection. She was scarcely seventeen when Graham became enamored of her estroritt nary charms. With all the natural gra-e and dig nity of one horn free es the bounding fawn of the wilderness, she combined the retiring modesty end fern nme timidity of girl jut blushing into woman hood ; there was withal an arch play fulnevs which caused the heart of many a young Seminole war nor to bounibwith rapture when her piercing black eves chanced to rest upon him.

WORCESTER, March 21,1842 MT DE an Sin :-Yours of the Bth reached me only a few days ay. and I immediately made known your views in Boston. lam heartily re joiced to see the spirit of the, country rousing up. When I saw with what tranquility we were de scending toward the verge of the Compromise Act, I began to think nothing but the distress of long experience could recall the sense of the people; and it is that which has electrified them at this early day. An empty Treasury and competition with the starved labor of Europe will wake our country men up and put then, upon the enquiry. There is no doubt a tendency to over-production of manufactures cn the old continent, and they must balance better between them and food. Eng land is in a sad position, having a vast surplus population, with vast atrangements for manufac turing, while her markets abroad have been dimin ished by a great increase of the same industry elsewhere.—she monopol zrs her immense colt,- nial trade, but it happens that nor'.e of her Atlan tic colonies arc producers iit ordinary f;iiid, and here her sy stem pre saes heavily upon her ptipula ikon on 'his pima, and I see no hope of present relief. 11, however, she con oht in mist cotton ft out India and su l ply in return the manufactured goods, her system will acquire a new impulse, for she , will have a hundred millions to provide foir. Our condition is exactly opposite—Agriculture here predominates, and our policy here should be to encourage other pursuits to maintain Agricul ture, and this may do till we reach a point of ex cess whit h will not be in our day. It gives me great satisfaction to see other parts of tile country moving. and especially New York, for it is the business of the Agricultural States to move and support a division of labor, for this is the only process by which they can sustain them- . selves. To talk of protection to Manufacturers, widen the idea that they are reaping special bene fits, is idle. - The policy goes greatly beyond the purpose of aiding a particular class of persons, for the enquiry no, shall we in substance be all fdr. niers, or shall we divide into various employments, that our tonnes may be supplied? If the far mers feel no need of this division, then let us give it up; for the manufacturers and mechanics can live as well by the land na they. I have always thought Protection to Manufacturers was an un fortunate misnomer ; for it is labor of all sorts that we aim to sustain and support, as much one class as another, and let us hold firmly to that. We ge for the great interest of labor, and if we can take c ire of that, there is nothing to fear, for the coun try will be prosperous an happy. Let us then, under no name, late sight of ou object, or of our identity. We ninanat free pros erous labor, while Free Trade aims - at cheap - .ids made cheap by cheap labor. In the eye 01 Free Trade the suf fering, starvation, and utter neglect of the laborers, ns well as their moral and intellectual degradation a r e nothing ; a rent a yard in calicoes outweighs all these mighty matters, and thus avarice is left to triumph over humanity and morality.

JOHN DAVIS Msncn.—This is the month when hares, in England, become toad. Hence the saying—""mad as a March hare." It is singular, that the inferi or animals should be so much more regular in their habits than man. Hares go mad In spring —dog's in mid-summer, when red Sirius rages ; but men go mad at all times. If any given time was set apart for the madness of mankind, we might pass laws for its prevention, as well as for the prevention of hydrophobia.

The wants and habits of the country, founded on the use of . foreign articles, must be grati6ed ;.; importation to • certain extent continues, through -the policy of the enemy, or unlawful traffic ; the expoitation of ' out bulky articles is prevented; the specie of the ? country is drawn of to pay the balance porp•ettial• ly accumulating against us; end the final result is the total derangement of our currency.
