THE CIVIC HERO
The well earned fame of a truly great
man invests his very nalim with a chum,
and the respect and homage which men
pay to his worth is far more grateful to
his feelings than the forced tributes of mil
lions to a Monarch or an Emperor. What
is its rounds lissav CLAN with a halo
whe ver eat He has no patronage
to tow, no rewards to give. Yet his
presence is enough to send a thrill of emo
tion through an assembled multitude. At
,the laying of the corner stone of the new
•Custom House in. New Orleans, on the
22t1 ult., an incident occurred which is thus
noticed by the Picayune :
se Among the — spectators of the scene
was the Hon. Henry Clay, whose pies.
enee 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
spacewas 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,
but his face shows too plainly the ravages
of time and ill health. As usual on such i
occasions, although it was much regretted
that he did not make some remarks on the
occasion, he was consigned to the special
Are of tne ladies, and seated amid a perfect
crowd of smiling and lovely Lees.'
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 titan was feared, and
more than would have been accomplished
if the 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 use d
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
struggle. More than once—owing to the
superior tact of the extension ists—Slayery
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 •inb' 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 safely,
and with every passing day will fade a:
way thestrength of the extensionists, while
the friends of Freedom, like the principle
itself, will grow stronger.—.llbany Jour

THE MORMONS.
These remarkable people are rapidly
increasing in :umbers, both in this country
and England, and 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
as we look upon the history of some of the
old Asiatic tribes. Annexed will be found
an account of the 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 :
THE MORMON TEMPLE.—By a letter re
ceived from P. W. Cook, who left Coun
cil Bluff last spring for the Salt Lake, da
ted Aug. 2d, written while encamped on
the Sweet Water River at the South Pass,
j we gather some information which may
not be uninteresting. The new Mormon
Temple at the Salt Lake, is to be a splen
-1 did building. They enclose a lot 17 miles
tlong and 12 miles wide, with a mud wall
8 feet high and four feet thick. There are
to he four cities inside. They have dis
covered mountain rock that resembles
Cornelian stone, which the writer says is
beautiful for temples and pillars. The
size of the temple is not stated, but its
highest point is to be 800 feet, anti 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 sn strongiy impregna
with alkali, that they dare not let their cat
tle 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 find
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 guild
mine 150 miles southwest from the Salt
Lake. The last end of the Salt Lake, say
200 miles, is attended with little fatigue.—
Nearly all the way the roads are as good
as on any prairie in Michigan. The wri
ter was living on the meat of bears, ante
lope° and buffaloes—animals are very nu
merous on the route. He recommends
mule teams instead of oxen, and that cows
be driven along for titer milk, and for beef
if necessary

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 wretchedness 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 case
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. Ile 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 he she raised up, her long hair fell a
ver her shoulders matted and rtiff with the
coagulated blood. The doctor desired to
see her head, and here he found one of the
small arteries, which had 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
miserable 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
pravitrand wretchedness.--Ball. Sun.
SCOTT AND WELLINOTON•-TIIC LOD..
don correspondent of the New York Mor
ning Slar, says : was lately in a com
pany, at a fashionable party, at the west
end of the town, when the subject of the
American army, in connection with Mex
ico, was broached ; and I can assure you
that ample. justice was done American
prowess. It was asserted by a leading
member of Government, that the Duke of
Wellington thought General Scott the
greatest military genius of .the day, and
the duke. it is well known, is anything but
a flatterer."
THE BRITISH WAR IN ?INDIA.
The English papers, ceritain advices
from Calcutta to the Bth and from Bom
bay to the 19th January. The most im
portant intelligence front that quarter is
that of the bombardment and capture of
of the town of Moultan, of which we ap
pond a brief account.
"It was one of tho 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 fifty 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. Wit ish, consisted of up w ants
of thirty thousand men, while the utmost
numerical strength of the garrison upon
which Moolraj could depend was below
ten thousand men. There is a rumor that
the Anglian* 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 coats them it least £5,000
a day."
THE INAUGURAL BALL, sc.—The edi
tor of the New York Mirror writes home,
of the Inauguration Hall, as follows :
•• There was scarcely a coat or dress in
the hall that (lid 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, kc. 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 915 for bouquets,
$lO for a ticket, and $25 fora hack, makes
the ball a rather expensive whistle; but
• those who will dance must pay the fid
dler.?

Curtious Discovear.—ln the great Pyr

size exists at die foot of the Pyramid.—
It was long conjectured that these two o
penings communicated with each other,
but no means cotdd be devised to establish
the fact, till the problem was solved re
cently by an Arab. Ile took a cat and
her kittens, placed the old rat in one aper

up both with stones. The next day he o
pened them, and found cat and kittens all
together at the foot of the long passage.

CONSCIENCE AND RESTITUTION.—Sever
aI merchants have been waited upon during
the past week by a clergyman of the Ro
man Catholic Chtjrch, who has paid them
a very handsome dividend as "restitution"
money. It was with considerable difficul
ty that the parties to whom it was directed
could be found, so many changes had oc
curred by death, failures and dissolutions
of parnership. We learn that the funds
were received by Bishop Hughes, through
a parish priest in Ireland, who carefully
conceals the name of the individual; and
this is the second remittance sent for the
saute purpose, with an intimation that there
is more to come yet. Such cases are rare,
and whoever the reformed person may be
he has given good evidence that he would
make a good citizen of any land.—N.

ANOTHER %VIII: MURDERED BY HER
HUSDAND.—The New York Herald states
that, on Saturday afternoon, the vicinity of

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 oir 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.

UrThe Pennsylvania Canals were opened on

cCl.Thers is, (says the Albany Journal,) one
sentence in the Inapgural Address of President
Taylor, which excites pleasant emotions in Whig
bosoms. In that Address, Gen. Taylor pledges
himself to "look to the decisions of the Judicial
Tribuuals" fur interpretations of the Constitution.
This is as it should be. Contempt for these de
cisions by men who have tilled 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 moat gifted men in the
Republic. This contempt for "Judicial Decisions,"
has been the prolific source of mischief and mis
rule. Their recognition cannot but be productive
of the happiest results. The avowal of the senti
ment, that thew tribunals are the legitimate ex
ponents of the Constitution, foreshadows the Ex

and affords an abundant guarantee that tho Ordi

MR. CLAY AND EMANCIPATION
Mr. Cur has written a long and very able let
ter urging upon the Convention about to sit in
Kentucky for the purpose of framing a new Con
stitution, the adoption of measures for the aboli
tion of Slavery in that State. It is in illusion 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
mancipation. His 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 cars, and his ap
peals ranged in their memories as though
they had been engaged but the day before.
This youth was Henry Clay. And
now, in the evening of his eventful life, af
ter having been entrusted with the highest
responsibilities, and after wielding the des
tinies of republicanism for nearly fifty
years, with a well matured and most ex
perienced judgment, and the rich harvests
of time which his rare intellect could net
lairtojailier,the honored statesman has
come foreword, and once more pleads the
eatme of freedom. He 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'ai long and
glorious career have we ever felt prouder
of him thin 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 thejustinete of right, Henry Clay stands,
on this question, side by side with Wash.
itigton, Jefferson, Franklin, and a host of
those who have enshrine d themselves in
the lofties niches of the Temple of Freed
om. We often hear of the "mild servitude"
of Kentucky Slavery, and we bear 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 breathingeof
conscienceas 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 "ibid.
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
Afriqan race :
—"the softening arts of peace
Whate'er the harmonising muses teach ;
The' god•lika wisdom of the tromper'd breast;
Progressive truth, the patient force of thought;
Investigation calm, whose silent powers
Command the world ; the light that leads to hewen;
Kind, equal rule, the government of lows, --
And all protecting freedom, which alone
dustain the name and dignity of man:
These are not theirs."
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

DR. HALSEY'S GOLD tic SILVER PILLS
arc founded upon the principle that nearly all
diseases awe front the lonia causes, or that a
morbid condition of the liver, stomach and bow
els, predisposes the system to every class of dis
ease. When these important functions become
obstructed with Miperabondance of bile mai vis
cid matter. Nature ceases to MSI her proper of
lice. It is then that the blood becomes impure
because the secretive organs of the liver. whose
office it in to separate the worn-out principle of
this vital fluid are uo longer tit for their °like,
and the wasted part of the blood continues there . -
fore in its circulation and becomes diffused
throughout the whole system. Thus filled with
infections humors the body is made liable to
sickness. It, by chance,it is exposed to a Ml
den change in the weather, a bad cold or con
sumption would be the result—if in the vicinity
of contagious disorders, it would imbibe the
infection.
Dn. HALIIIFT'S GOLD sxn SILTDDI PILLS, al
though pleasant to take and innocent in opera
tion, is the most excellent medicine in the
world. to remove the bile and eiscid matter
from the system, and to restore the liver, stom
ach and bowels, to the performance of their pro
per functions, thereby rendering the blood pure,
and divesting the system from ail morbid and
infectious humours. which will finally remove
every disease, however long standing, and tied issi
the system with health, strength and vigor.
