GREAT BUSTIFICATION OF
and Engineer seriously Wounded !
D E it known to the world, that the un
dersigned has obtained Letters Pa
tent for an
Improved Machine for Hulling and Clean
ing Clover-seed,
which, for thoroughly performing its work,
in a speedy manner, surpasses any thing
that has ever been presented to the public.
In order to produce a machine that will
meet the wants of the community in every
respect, the Patentee has for several years
applied himself diligently to the task, and
is now enabled to offer a machine worthy
of their consideration.
This machine has only been in opera
tion during the last season, in Cumberland,
York and Adams counties, and has given
entire satisfaction. It is a neat, portable
machine, only weighing
,about 400 lbs.
and of light draught. and can hull and clean
with ease four loads of cloverseed per day,
or one load in two hours. lt, can be con
verted into a common windmill in a mo
ment's time. Persons desiring to per.
chase rights can see the machine 'by- call
jog at my residence in Latimore townehip,
Adaintkounty. Owners , of Clover-mills
would Emd it to their advintageto give nie
a call.
Hundreds of certificates can be given of
its Wilily, and , the satiefactory manner that
it bulls and cleans cloverseed, mind also
timothy Oiled, but I deem it only, necessa
ry to refer to a few individuals at whose
balls the - machitii han . bped exhibited and
fully tested.

NIGHT
IT LONOWLLLOW
I see the lights of the village
Gleam through the rain and the mist,
And a feeling of udness comes o'er me,
That my soul cannot resist
A feeling of sadness and longing,
Thit is not skin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Corns, read to me some poem,
home simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall sooth this testicles felling,
And bani►h the thoughts of day.
Not Gom the grand old muter",
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of time.
For, lilts strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endless toil and endeavor,
And to night I long for rest.
Read from some bumbler poet, •
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eye-lids start:
Who through long days of labor,
And nights devqid of ease,
Still beard'in his wattle music
Of wonderful melodic'.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
'l'he poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the slay,
Shag fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.
Jolts QUINCY ADLMS.—The London
Standard thus remarks on the speeches in
Congress, on the occasion of the death of
this venerable patriot:
"If the speakers whom we have quoted
are representatives of the prevailing spirit
of the United States, there is little cause to
wonder at their prosperity; at all events,
the gentlemen from whose speeches we
have made extracts, have faithfully dischar
ged their duty in sustaining the religious
fettling of their fellow-citizens; and with
such a glorious subject as the religious life
of John Quincy Adams before them, they
have had a great opportunity. Such as he,
"being dead yet speak," and they who
commemorate his worth, do little More
than give a voice to piety and &ell - a Hier
virtue.
We own that we are humbled when we
reflect that, except it wore Sir Robert In
glis or Lord Ashley—men otherwise dis
tinguished above the reach of sneers by
talents, character and services—scarce any
member of our Retise o(Commons would
dare to speak with the courage with which
'the America► gentlemen have illustrated
that freedom from "that' consummation of
all folly, the fear of man," by confessing
"the fear of God, which is the beginning
of all wisdom." It is thus that a man like
John Quincy. Adams, even. front his grave,
pours blessings upon biscountry."
ANECDOTIC or JACK HATE, THE TEXAN
Ralsonit.—Among„ the many incidents in
the narration of which the usually taciturn
young Ranger was accustomed to beguile
the long and , laborioue night rides of Gen.
Lane in pursuit of thi geerrilleros, I recol
lect the following, which may not be un
interesting to your readers.
"Did I ever tell you," said he one night
as we were riding towards Matamoros, in
a drizzling rain, "about my being
commander or: the forces for our fron
tier, by the Texas CC:ingress 1"
"No ; how was it ?"
"Well, when I was about fburfben years
'old, I got in the ~ h abit or going with our
spies and fondling trails to find the camps
and villages of the Camanches. In unhurt
time I used to go alone, when the spies
would go no farther, and sometimes sue
needed in finding the enemy and leading
our, ration to their camp. Very 11000 thet
officers employed me as a regular trailor,
and from that time 1 was always in the
woods in Pursuit of the Oamanches, ; and
for a whole year I,havn not slept in a bed,
and.but twice in a. house. Things went
on in t,ttis way till I got to be eighteen or
nineteen -years old, One day, after •an
absence briiiiiiiiiiii*thi,"l.eame into the
ieitteitiqdt:' trad'hi had on a pair of Pan
taltrone
Oadaloonee—whitillid you itear ?"
0, moccasins," said 116: "A handkei
ch ler around my head—l'd lost
my hafihres months before—"
"Lost your hat—how'd you loOse it ?".
Why, six Camanchea happened to see
me one day and chased me so close that
my hat came off in the race—when they
stopped pursuit I went back, but they had
found it. Well, when I got into the set
tlements they gathered around and began
to tell me I hail been appointed to com
mand all the forces to be raised for the
protection of the frontiers. Of course, I
supposed they were poking .fun„ at my
looks and dress, and was getting mad fast,
when some one handed me u letter con
taining official notice of my appointment.'
I shouldn't have been more surpriiod,. "
he. soutleatly added, I'd been chosen

THE PYRAMID OP BAYONETS
The officers as well as sub-officers of
the Russian horse-guards are subjected to
the most rigorous discipline, and are re
,quiNd to execute, on horseback, all the
manuinvres of a theatrical equestrian.
One day an officer of the Lancers was
ring through his exercise before the Grand
Duke. He had performed all the usual
evolutions in a most satisfactory way, un
til, whim a full gallop, he was suddenly
ordered to turn-this horse proved restive t ,

efforts to make the horse obey it; but
without effect, - for the fiery animal contin.

The rage of the Grand Duke !red vented
itself in furious imprecstions, and all pees
enttretnbled for the conseqeences. “Hilt!"
he eielaimed, and ordered t pyramid of
twelve muskets, with fixed bayonets, to
be erected. The order was instantly o
beyed.
The officer, who had by this time sub.
dued the restiveness of his horse, was .or
dared to leap the pyramid and the spirit.
ed animal bore his rider safely over it.
Without an interval of delay, the officer
was commanded to repeat the fearful leap,
and to the amazement otell present the
noble horse and his brave rider stood in
safety on the other side of the pyramid,
The Grand-Dulie, exasperated at find
inthimself thus thwarted in his biwbarous
purpose, repeated the order ihe third time.
A general, who happened to be prevent,
now stepped forward and interceded for
the rdon or the officer: Observing that
the horse was exhausted, and that the en
forcement of the 'order would be to doom
both horse and rider to a horrible-death.
This humane•remonstrance was not — oll=

The countenance of the officer was dead

knees shook under him. - •
A deadly silence prevailed as he advan

him in a flittering voice for the honor be

GEN. SCOTT'S WELCOME-
Ile comes, he comes, from the field of his glory,
And millions his triumphs proclaim :
Afresh let his name be written in story—
Afresh on the tablet of fame.
He comes in his triumph, and victory's wreath
Is bright on the brow of its chief,
Undim'd by a tear, for mercy's sweet breath
Did warm into birth every leaf.
Let the flag of the stars be flung to the gale ;
From mountain to sea let it wave;
Though envy asperse, and foul malice assail,
The brave will honor the brave.
Let the cannon's deep roar and the trumpet's wild
peal,
Re-echo through forest and glen;
Let Bornflres be kindled on height and on bill—
We honor the noblest of men.
All'welcome, great chieftain I thy country is up,
And deep from her heart bide you come I
She spreads wide the banquet, and Alla high the cup,
To welcome her warrior home.
When those who so basely have struck at thy name
Shall all in their graves lie forgot,
FUll proudly she'll point to the garland of fame,
Still fresh on the brow of her SCOTT !

like many _others of the' same kind, Mr.
Thomasen, a missionary, hos lately told
in &public meeting held on the subject of
shivery.
A young physician, of much merit and
knowledge, triada a journey from his na
tive-town in "One ofthe Northeru States, to
a town in Mississippi. 'Phi, young man
whose name was Wallis, took lodgings in
furnished house. The mistress of it, a
young woman about twenty years old, in.
spiredin:ltim the most ardent love. Al
though the color of the young woman was
not the purist white, the doctor having nn
prejudice ,against the colored race, offered
her his hand, , whielt was accepted. The
marriage, took place •almost secretly, and
the happy couple went soon afterwards to
establish themselves in Washington, in the
District ot.C.elurabia.
They had, hot beets there , long. where
they lived peaceably and 'retired, when
one morning an individual. tvha had 011
the appearance , of a gentleman, presented
himself at Dr. Wallis% under the pretence
of business. The conversation proceed

lowing indiscreet question to the doctor
"Dld you Whig 'wininin from the
South,, air t','
"Nash. ; Id 4 not understand you."
"flow I" rejoinedlhe stranger, "did not
yoir wife'come With 'you froin,),dississip-

"I believe'slie was horn in that , coun

Well, your es you call her, is
my slave ; and unless you pay CleirOM(;*
ruediately, nine hundred Mitt! her
purchase, I will advertise her to-morrow
as a runaway slave. 'ln test, nisei, worth
a thousand dollars at leastl hot as You
have married her, I will abate something."
"Your slave l" excluimedlhe astonish
ed doctor, "that is impissibtt."

,the other, "you must live her up. or pay
,the money. lf, in twenty four hours, the
money Is not slut to ray hotel, IV promise
you, my dear sir, that 'you will see ithe
'name of Mrs. Wallis in the newspapers,
as that of a fugl}ive skive."
As sopn sq#le man was gone. the doc
tor went. to hismile, whose good qualities,
virtues, and graces, rendered her dear to
him. •
"My .dear angel," said he, ' , when we
were married were you a slave 1"
4•Yes,. I was," sho e confessed, at the
same time shedding abundant tears.
“Why did you not tell me before the
ceremony was performed?"
did not dare.do it.' Could I have ex
pected you would huve allied yourself to a
slave",
now I know it, I will give tho
*ins hundred dollars required, for I love
you too much to consent to a separation."
During this short dialogue, Mrs. Wallis
was laboring under the most lively agita
tiOn. She asked her husband to describe
the appearance of the claimant, which he
dill as exactly us possible; then he asked
her whether the description answered to
that of her ancient master.
"Yes," mud she, casting down her eyes ;
"he is more than my master—he is my
father."

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
SECOND .PROCEEDINGS
At 9 o'clock the , convention was called
to order by. the President, sod the Rev. A.
ATWOOD, of the Methodist Churcb, per
formed the devotional exercises before en
tering upon the business of the day.
The first bulkiest of Consequence pre
sented was by Mr. T. B. King, of Geor
gia, from the Committee on Credentials,
(to which were referred the credentials of
members respecting which disputes might
arise,) who submitted the following reso
lutions :
Resolved, that the majority of the delegates from
States not fully represented be authorised to sots
for the districts from which there are no daleples,
and be authorised to fill vacancies.
Resolved, that the follovaing gentlemen an,
spites of tho Whip of Louisiana, haying bean
duly appointed by • Whig Convention of that
State—Lafayette Saunders, Samuel J. Peters, C.
M. Conrad, B. Winchester, C. Itullitt, G. B. Dun
can, W. Brashear, J. M. 'Wray, J. Ritchie, P.
Maher.
And whereas the above delegation have selected
six of their number to emit the vote of said State for
President and V. President of the U. States, to wit:
Lafayette Sanders, J. Peters, C. M. Conrad, B.
Winchester, C. Bullitt, and G. B. Duncan,
Resolved, that the siz delegates be recognized by
the Whig Convention as duly empowered to act
as the representatives of the Whigs of Louisiana
in the Convention.
Resolved, that Col. Willistn 11. Russell. of Me.
souri, givo the vote to which his district is entitled
on the floor of the Convention.
Resolved, that the delegations from all the
States be requested to select the number of dale.
Wes to which each State is entitled to repnesent
said State on the floor, and that tha alternates, or
over delegates, have seats provided for them u
members.
Resolved, that, in consequence of the absence
of the delegates appointed by the Whigs of 'Texas,
the delegation from Louisiana be empowered to
cast the vote of the State of Texas, and that J.
Wray, C. Dullitt, James Ritchie, and Y. 'Maher be
admitted as delegates lima Texas.
The President announced that the rear)-
. lotions would be taken up separately, and
the first question was stated to be on the
first resolution, giving to the delegates from
States the right to vote fur districts-from
which there are no delegates:
Ma. Johnston, of Pennsylvania, spoke
in opposition to that resolutiun. Lie hyped
.they would not have in this Convention a
repetition of the scene which was whiten
ed in the Convention of- their opponents
Baltimore. Ile wished not to ace a
General Commander here, giving the
votes of an entire State by which he had not
been sent as a delegate to represent her ;
but yet this resolution would give power
to a single individual to assume such po
sition, if it should be concurred in. Each
State was entitled to as many delegates as
she had Representatives and Senators in
Congress ; and he was in fiver of dull
State casting her votes, and no more, pro
vided her people have had interest enough
in the proceedings of the Couvention to
send the requisite number of delegates.—
But if any States were not Whig enough
to send delegate here, he thought it was
rather too much power to place to the
hods of any one inan to allow him to
speak the voice of a soverign State of this
U won. This was not democratic doctrine,
Ind he could not assent to this resolution.
Mr. Bryan, of South Carolina. said a
men to every word the gentleman from
Pennsylvania had uttered. lie did not
wish to be a General Commander. lje
did not desire to see one district appoint
delegates for every district of a State. He
came from the Charleston district of South.
Caroltnia, and he denied the right of that
district to appoint delegates for any: other.
The Charleston district could act but foe
herself, and what a district could riot dis.
surely her delegate had HO right to do.—
It would be unequal and grossly unjust to
sanction such a principle. lie wished. to
have but one vote. (Applause.) He
claimed one, and should not attempt togive
more.
Mr. Hilliard, of Alabama, supported the
resolution of the cotninittee. 'He had to
objection that, where there were vacancies,
they should be filled by the delegations:—
The gentleman from Pentisylsonia was
not opposed to this, hA believed ; he only
objected to one man casting the' votes 'of
many. But how was a State to speak
here? Some basis should he established.
If there were vacancies in districts the
other delegates should fill them, and who
could say that those gentlemen misrepre
sentee their State? It was objected to in
the case of Gen. Commander that he did
not represent the wishes of the State; that
was a fact, but if one man represented' the
views of his State fully, he was in favor of
letting that than be heard for his State. '
Mr. Landon, of Alabama, differed froth
his colleague. The division Ur; his °Wit
State admonished him of the evil of elloW
ing delegates to fill vacancies. There Were
two districts of the State of .Alsbatne-thit
had held no meetings and appiiinte4 no
