THE CIVIC HERO
The Well earned fame of a truly great
man invests his very indite with a charm,
and the respect and homage which men
pay to his worth is far more grateful to
hie feelings than the forced tributes of mil
lions to a Monarch or an Emperor. What
is it surrounds 11ENRY Cxav with a halo
wherever he goes ? He has no patronage
to bestow, no rewards to give. Yet his
presence is enough to send a thrill of emo
„lion through an assembled multitude. At
the laying-of the corner stone of the new
•Custom House in New Orleans, on the
22d ult., an incident occurred which is thus
noticed by the Picayune :
"Among the spectators of the scene
was the Hon. Henry Clay, whose pres.
ence excited considerable interest. The
delicate attentions shown to him on every
side were striking proofs of the reverence
in which he is 'held by his countrymen.--
When he arrived upon the ground the
crowd was dense and apparently unyield
ing; but the moment it was whispered
around that Henry Clay was coining, a
spare was opened, and hats came almost
involuntarily from men's heads as the
venerable statesman passed. Mr. Clay
yet moves with a firm and bouyant step,
hut his face shows too plainly the ravages
of time and ill health. As usual on such
occasions, although it was much regretted
that he did not make some remarks on the
occasion, he was consigned to the special
care of tne ladies, and seated amid a perfect
crowd of smiling and lovely faces.'
A GREAT EVIL ARRESTED
Slavery has, been foiled. A protracted
struggle has terminated in the triumph of
Freedom. The victory is not as direct as
was hoped for, but it is substantial. Free
Soil has been effectually proclaimed sa
cred to Freedom. The territories acqui
red from Mexico will remain under their
local laws, secure from the impress of Sla
very. This is better than was feared, and
more than would have been accomplished
lithe same facilities of treachery had exist
ed as during the consummation of the Tex
as iniquity. But the power of the party
whose energies and capital have been used
to build up Slavery, had been stricken
down by the people. The patronage of
government had passed into other hands.
No golden baits could be proffered to men
of easy virtue--no golden shields to pro
tect
political traitors from the scorn and
condemnation of a betrayed constituency.
But the great principle for which the
friends of Freedom have been contending,
was hard pressed during this protracted I
struggle. More than once--owing to the I
superior tact of the extensionists—Slavery
seemed to have got its foot upon the neck
of Freedom. All felt the indispensable
necessity of some sort of a government
in California ; and too many were ready
to compromise with the South to secure
what was so pressingly demanded. Wal
ker's proposition was the •tub' thrown out
to catch these 'whales.' There was some
thing plausible in the proposition, but a
serpent was coiled in its folds. If it had
passed in its original form, it would have
inflicted a deadly sting. But it did not so
pass. Its sting was extracted by the
House, and when sent back thus shorn of
its power to do evil, its authors suffered it
to die.
Thus has an imminent peril been averted.
The territories remain as they are—FREE.
The fiery ordeal has been passed salely,
and with every passing day will fade a:
way the strength of the extensionists, while
the friends of Freedom, like the principle
itself, will grow stronger.—Mbany Jour

THE MORMONS.
'Arse remarkable people are rapidly
increasing in numbers, both in this country
I and England, Ntul are fast centering at the
new settlement founded in the Great(Ba.
sin of Upper California, beyond the Utah
Mountains. The religious views of these
people are peculiar, and their history, their
persecutions and their pilgrimages, must
in after years be looked upon very much
las we look upon the history of some of the
old Asiatic tribes. Annexed will he found
an account oldie magnificent temple which
they are about commencing in their new
home. The London Globe states that a
large body of Mormons in England are
preparing to emigrate to California early
in the spring. Many of them are men of
wealth ; and five large vessels have been
chartered by the emigrants
Tun MORMON Tr:mem—By a letter re
ceived from P. W. Cook, who left Conn-
cil Bluff last spring for the Salt Lake, da
ted Aug. 2d, written while encamped on
the Sweet Water River at the South Pass,
we gather some information which may
not be uninteresting. The now Mormon
Temple at the Salt Lake, is to he a splen
did building. They enclose a lot 17 miles
long and 12 miles wide, with a mud wall
8 feet high and four feet thick. There are I
to he four cities inside. They have dis-1
, covered mountain rock that resembles
Cornelia stone, which the writer says is I
beautiful for temples and pillars. The
size of the temple is not stated, but its ;
highest point is to be 600 feet, and can be
seen eighty miles either way. The party
that went out last season, lost many of their
oxen— having died with what they call the ;
"swell head.' Many of the streams which
they crossed, were so strongiy impregna
with alkali, that they dare not let their cat-
Ile drink. On the shores of many of the
lakes, a crust is formed an inch and a half ,
thick. They break up this crust, scrape
off the dirt on the bottom and top, and tied
it pure saleratus. Strange as this may
seem, it is nevertheless true, and the wri
ter collected in a short time, 75 pounds.
A mountain of pure rock salt has been dis
covered near the Mormon settlement.—
The Mormons have discovered a rich gold
mine 150 miles southwest from the Salt
Lake. The last end of the Salt Lake, say
200 miles, is attended with little ntligue.—
Nearly all the way the roads are good
as on any prairie.in Michigan. The wri
ter was living on the meat of bears, ante
lopee and buffaloes—animals are very nu
merous on the route. lie recommends
mule teams instead of oxen, and that cows
be driven along fur titer milk, and lur beef

A SCENE OF WRETCHEDNESS.—The
celebrated work by Eugene Sue, entitled
the "Mysteries of Paris," has given the
world an insight into some of the misery
and wretekednes's of that gay capital—how
the rich and the poor live, and what crimes
are committed by both. The unwritten
history of every large city would present
a similar spectacle—romance would be at
fault ; truth would surpass fiction, and the
writer would find facts stranger than any
fancy of his own could imagine. Scenes
frequently occur in our own city, a recital
of which would but cause a sigh that such
things could be—that poor human nature
could be so depraved. Some of these have
come under our own observation, and many
of them have been of a character to har
row up the feelings of the most hard-heart
ed. On Saturday afternoon last, a ease
occurred, the observation of which has in
duced these remarks.
Dr. Morris was called on in great haste
to call and see a female and render surgi
cal aid. lle started, and on his way fell
in with Dr. Makie, who accompanied him
to the scene. They went to a low hut in
L alley, without windows, and in which
there was a bedstead, with an apology for
a bed upon it—filthy and ragged. Upon
the bed lay a woman about nineteen years
of age, in a perfect state of nudity, entirely
overcome with the effects of intoxicating
liquor, and literally wallowing in her own
blood. Around her were a dozen or more
persons, of both sexes, depraved as her
self was, who appeared indisposed to
give her any assistance if they were able.
The bed was covered with clotted blood,
and as she raised up, her long hair fell o
ver her shoulders matted and stiff with the
coagulated blood. The doctor desired to
see her head, and here he found one of the
small arteries, which bad been cut, it was
said, by a man who threw a porter bottle
at her, discharging the blood at a rapid'
rate. After some effort and trouble the ar
tery was taken up, and she was left in her ;
wretched condition. The mother of the
miserah i le girl was present a part of the
time, and seemed to feel most keenly the
degradation of her daughter. What be
came
of her afterwards we do not know,
but the scene was a perfect picture of de
pravity and wretchedness.—Ball. Sun.

THE BRITISH WAR INNDIA.
The English papers co d ain advices

portant intelligence from that quarter is
that of the bombardment and capture of
of the town of Moultan, of which we ap
pend a brief account.
was one of the most obstinate and
gallant defences on the part of the enemy
ever recorded in martial annals. The city,
after having been bombarded for a week,
by nearly a hundred and lifty pieces of or
dinance, was taken on the 2d of January.
The fort was expected to be stormed on the
7th. The British army, under the com
mand of Gen. \flush, consisted of upwards
of thirty thooapnd men, while the u tmost
numerical strength of the garrison upon
which Moolraj could depend was below
ten thousand men. There is a rumor that
the Affghans have invaded Scinde. The
war in India will not terminate with the
capture of Moultan. The East India Com
pany cannot contemplate a protracted con
test without serious dismay. Their re
venues are already in deficit, and the war
in the Punjaub costa them et least £5,000
a day."
THE INAVOURAL BALL, &c.—T he edi
tor of the New York Mirror writes home,
lof the Inauguration Bull, as follows :
" There was scarcely a coat or dress in
the hall that did not come out with an en
amel of spurious spermaceti. The damage
done to the dresses is estimated at $20,-
000 ! The supper and cloak rooms were
badly managed, and there was a large bu
siness done in the way of exchanging hats,
overcoats, &c. One lady lost a shawl
worth $4OO, and a gentleman of my ac
quaintance came home this morning with
a shocking bad hat' and the shabbiest
kind of an overcoat, losing some fifty dol
lars by the exchange. Adding to this
profit and loss' account $l5 for bouquets,
$lO for a ticket, and $25 fora hack, makes
the hall a rather expensive whistle; but
those who will dance must pay the Bd
tiler.'

a parish priest in Ireland, who carefully
coureals the name of the individual; and

ANOTHER WIPE MURDERED IST HER
HusnAmh—The New York Herald states
that, on Saturday afternoon, the vicinity of
Broome and Elizabeth streets, in that city,
was thrown into a state of excitement by
the alarm that Hugh McDermott had,
while in a drunken fit, beaten his wife on
the head with a hatchet until he supposed
she was dead. McDermott was taken in
to custody, covered with blood, exhibiting
a horrible spectacle. The iron part of the
hatchet was loose, and, after the first blow
or two, it flew oft the handle, and then he
beat her about the head with the handle.—
At a late hour at night it was expected the
injured woman would not survive until
morning.

sentence in the Inaugural Address of President

himself to "look to the decisions of the Judicial
Tribunals" for interpretations of the Constitution.
This is as It should be. Contempt for these de
cisions by men who have filled the Executive
Chair. has constituted the leading feature in their
official characters. The interested and distorted
views of One Man have been set up against the
' deliberate and impartial opinions of a Court com
posed of the honest and most gilled men in the
Republic. This contempt for "Judicial Decisions,"
has been the prolific source of mischief and mis
rule. Their recognition cannot but be producti . ve
of the happiest results. The avowal of the senti
ment, that these tribunals are the legitimate ex

CASE, OF GEN. SIIIE4DS.—In the U. 8,
Senate, on Tuesday, the special committee to
whom had been referred the matter of the stint
bility of Glee. Shields, to 's seat in that body as
Senator from the State of Illinois, reported that'
his election was void. he not been a citizen

lion to submit unielibmagly to the decision, look- ,
ing to IllinOisto.reineate him; but how, we are i
not advised. The question of postponing the
suirject, until December next, is now pending be
fore the Senate. The committee, as we under
stand, were unanimously of the opinion that.. Gen.
Shields derived no right from the alleged natural
ization of his fa r during his minority, nor did
they find th assertion unstained that his fattier
was naturalized at any time in the United States.
If the Senate adopt the report, it will be decided
that a vacancy exists in the Senatorial representa
tion of Illinois, which may be filled either by ap
pointment of the Governor, or by a new election
by the Legislature.
On the following day the discussion was re
sumed. Mr. Calhoun moved to amend the rew
lotion by adding theatre that he was inelligible at
the commencement of the term for which be was
elected. A long" discussion ensued, in which
Mosul Webster, Seward, Atchison, Douglass.
Hale, Butler, Herrimi c and others, participated.—
At the request of Gen. Bhilds, Mr. Foot withdrew
the motion to postpone the subject 'MAU next

tion as Sender. Mr. Webster ?bjeeted,apon the
wooed diet, not being eligible as a Senator. he
. lied no power to resigh ThisAgaiomere ries to
a long discussion, which was terminated by a ma
lieu to postpone tbutubject until the following day.
REPUBLIC AT ROME.---The lest arrival
from Europe brings the important intelligence of
the final and entire deposition of the Pope, and the,
establishment of a Republic. This event took
place at tine o'clock in the morning of the Bth of
February. It has been voted that he shall enjoy
all the guarantees necessary for the independence
of his spiritual power.
The proclamation of the Republic wok piece
amid cinch pomp and eeremony,and was celebra
ted by the people amid the liv . eliest demonstrations
of joy. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 9th
the tlig of the Republic was hoisted on the tower
of the Capitol, amid the cheering of thousands of
spectitors, end the young Republic was saluted
at its birth by the firing of 101 guns from the
Caste of r.q. Angelo.
Taste was a grand demonstration on the 10th
in lunar of the Republic, and the decree relating
to it was read from the Capitol. Tho people
boldly applauded the article providing for the in
dependence of the Pope's spiritual power. On
tin 11th a grand Pe Drum was chanted et St.
Prier's. on the occasion of the proclamation of the
Republic.
ADVERTIeING.—A wheel will run without
grease and a man may do business without ad
vertising, but it is hard work. So says somebody,
and a truer sentiment was never uttered. Nu
Mall does too much business, that is, he never has
more customers than he can attend to, and as ad
vertising brings business, it follows that every man
doing business should advertise, for his own bene
fit and the convenience of the public. To make
advertising pmftable to the advertiser and tont:c
utest to purchasers, papers having the largest cir
culation should be selected for the dissemination
of business notices.—Prav, Star.

MR. CLAY AND EMANCIPATION
Mr. CLAI has written a long and very able tot
ter urging upon the Convention about to sit in
Kentucky for the purpose of framing a new Con•
atitution, the adoption of measures for the aboli
tion of Slavery in that State. It is in allusion to
this letter that the editor of the Louisville Courier
makes the following just remarks :
In the year 1708, during the excitement
of the convention question, a youthful or
ator appeared before the people of Lexing
ton, Kentucky, and in lofty and manly
tones of eloquence, plead the cause of e
tnancipation. Ills wonderful gifts of ora
tory, his extraordinary powers as a logi-
Cian, and his rare sagacity struck all who
heard him with astonishment. We have
often heard those who had listened to his
speeches of that day, declare that the ears
of man had scarcely ever listened to such
• eloquence as this young man then exhibit
ed. We have heard both ladies and gen
tleman say, years afterwards, that his
voice then rung in their ears, and his ap
peals ranged In their memories as though
they had been engaged bat the day before.
• This youth was Henry Clay. And
now, in the evening of his eventful life, of
ter having been entrusted with the .highest
responsibilities, and after wielding the del
tittles of republicanisin for nearly fifty
years, with a well matured and most ex.
perienced judgment, and the rich harvests
of time which his rare intellect could not
fait to gather, the honored statesman has
come foreword, and since more pleads the
cause of freedom. Ile has examined the
foundations and features ofall governments.
Nation-after nation has been subjected to
the powerful analysis of his mind,•and
time, observation, an unusual experience.
and the ripe results of an extended sphere
of vision, all concur in saying-that Ken
tucky will not only consult her true glory
and honor, but -her lasting - welfare and
prosperity, in letting the captive go free.
At no moment of Henry Clay's long and
glorious career have we ever felt prouder
of him than we did while reading this no
ble letter. He has been true to himself,
true to his own lofty purposes, true to the
cause of right, of justice, of humanity, and
of freedom. That genius which has so
often shed its rich rays over questions of
human polity, never shone more resplen
dently than it does on this occasion. True
to the instincts of right. Henry Clay stands,
on this question, side by aide with Wash.
ington, Jefferson, Franklin, and a host of
those who have enshrined themselves in
the lollies niches of the Temple of Freed
om. We often hear of the "mild servitude"
of Kentucky Slavery. and we blear cheer
ful testimony to the almost universal
kindness of Kentucky slaveholders.—
But we rejoice that the great Kentucky
statesman has gone behind this rampart,
and that he has examined the subject of
slavery in its moral bearings. Gild sla
very as you will, drown the breathings of
conscience as you may, the voice of nature,
of religion and justice, will speak out.—
Whatever plausible reason we may urge
in favor of the "mild servitude," of "kind
ness in sickness," and "care in old age,"
there are eternal truths that will burst
through all the prejudices and wrong ima
ginings of interest. In any view we may
take of the subject, these matters will cross
the vision, in looking at the slavery of the
African race
—.the softening arts of peace
Whate'er the harmonizing muses teach ;
The god-like wisdom of the tempeed breast;
Progressive truth, the patient foram of thought;
Investigation calm, whose silent powers
Command the world ; the light that leads to heav'n;
Kind, equal rule, the government of !awe,
And all protecting freedom, which alone
Sustain the name and dignity of man
These are not thefts."
People of Kentucky, awake to your true
glory, your present peace, and the welfare
of your future generations. Listen once
more to that eloquent voice that never
counselliiiikujory to the name of Kentucky.
That tinkle intellect, That has long been
agight4o the nations off' the earth, has otpo.

MR. CLAY'S LETTER.--The Lexington Ob-
server is out in strong terms against MT. Clay's

in Kentucky, and fully appreciated public feeling,

and frankly said at once that be saw no hope of
executing his wishes now, and advised his hiends

election, which was holden on Tuesday, and these

or generous feeling, had enjoyed all the
advantages of exalted family and great
wealth. advantages which hia innate aed
ungovernable vices had to a great'extest
forfeited. He was shunned by thekood •
but M'Connell had long since left th;
choice of his companions to chance. and
then chance was greatly untoward.. The
individual referred W. spoke of the Bible
sneered at its authority. enlieuled its in

ges with ribald comment. M'Connell,
who had been all excitement aid exhilera
%ion, stood silent and sadly by. without a
word of remark.' The blasphemer con
tinued in language more aihd more offen
sive; and it was remarked that the eye of
M'Cohnell flashed with amwonted•fire. and
that his cheek flashed even with a deeper
glow than that which dissipation had fixed
there. At length he stepped forw a rd and
said:
"Stop, my friend. From the moment
I first looked into your farts, I feared you
were a scoundrel, for God has set the
mark of Cain upon your forehead. I
now knee it. I am a bad man—a lost
man—a man every moment of whose life
upbraids him. But I have one green spot
still left in my heart—l love my wife, and
my wife loves the Bible. I believe in what
my wife believes, and her faith is in the
Bible. It has made her an angel on earth,.
it must be true, the man who desires it
insults her, and I will hold that man ac
countable, until death, for the wrong."

DR. HA LSEY'S GOLD & SILVER PILLS
are founded upon the principle that nearly all
diseases ante from the same causes, or that a
morbid condition of the liver, stomach and bow
els, predisposes the system to ever) class of dis
ease. When these important functions become
obstructed with superabundance of bile and sii.•
cid matter, Nit ire ceases to fulfil her proper of
lice. It is then that the blood becomes iropiire
because the secretive organs of the liver. whose
office it is to separate the ssore.out principle of
this vital fluid are en longer tit for their
and the wasted part of the blood continues there - -
fore in its circulation and becomes diffused
throughout the whole system. Thus filled with
infectious humors the body is made liable to
sickness. If. by chance, it is exposed to a sud
den change in the weather, a bad cold or con•
gumption would be the result--if in the vicinity
of contagious disorders, it would imbibe the
infection.
DR. DALIIVT'S. GOLD 'wn SILVIR PILL•,
though pleasant to take and innocent in opera.
lion, is the most excellent medicine in the
world. to remove the bile and Tiscid matter
from the system, and to restore the liver, atom•
ach and bowels, to the performance of their pro
per functions, thereby rendering the blood pure,
and divesting the system from nil morbid and
infectious humours, which will finally remove
every disease, however long standing, and end ive
the system with health, strength and vigor.
