..,The instances of inequalities and injus
tiest in the bill similar to those mentioned,
nre so.numerous, that a further exandua
tiort.and expose of them, would seem a
waste el time. In this inequality of rep
se ental* and disregard of the ratio fixed
Ly : the Legislature, there is a violation of
thettpirit and letter of the Constitution.
Tile district composed of the counties
of Clearfield, Elk and McKean, presents
an instance wherein enmities erected since
the adoption of the Constitution, ate giv
*he. Separate representation on a less lannt
bee of taxables than the rated number fixed
by the Legislature.
The formation of representative districts
by the union unnecessarily of several
counties, is well calculated to remove : the
inst . responsibility that the representative
(ova la his constituent, and to prevent the
popular voice of some of the counties being
1991 rd in the Legislature. This anti-re
pohlietan feature ought to be avoided. ; •
Tlet, district composed of Armstrong,
Clarion and Jefferson, exhibits the follovr.
ing.' /acts representative ratio is
4885. The county of Clarion has 5087
tumbles, entitling it to a member with a
very small excess. The counties of Arcot
strong and Jefferson have 8708 taxables
being proportionably o much larger num.
bee of taxables for two members than is re,
coined by this bill for the counties of Fay..
sue, Westmoreland, Barks or Crawford..,..4
The interests of these counties may be siel-
Aar, and to that extent no wrong is pec.
petrated : but in the event that either coon.
ty should have separate or conflicting local
Interests, the rights and wishes. therm(
must not only be unheard, but disregard..
ed. The same remarks apply to the die*
tricts composed of Cumberland, Perry awl
Juniata, and Mercer, Vetiango and. Wan

In the arrangements of the -Senatorial
districts, the same disregtad oldie ratio fix
ed h' the bill; and the rights of the taxable
inhabitants is exhibited.

counties of Tioga, Elk. McKean and Pot

the'eounty of Lancaster, with 22,813 ttrx

whilst the counties of Tioga, l'otter, Mc-

only 8,553 taxables in these counties to e

3d. The counties of Crawford, Meree.r,

The •ltli District is formed of Chester

NEW YORK TE.STIKONY.—An matinee
of what is lite iu New York is given in,a
' report of a criminal trial iu that city last
weak. Judge Oakley said that witnesses
there can be procured to prove anything,
and unless it is admitted to give evidence
4)f their character, there would be nu safe
ty for any man. It is to be presumed
that such an opinion does not come front
an experienced Judge on any but most
satisfactory grounds. It is appalling as to
the dangerous degeneracy of the great
commercial emporium.
THE BEST lIKOOK in the United States, I
says the Genessee Farmer, extends about
a mile!along the highway on a plantation

It is the Cherokee rose, which is now in

stood forty or fifty years, it still promises
at pod fence for a century to come.

outing half of Bedford county, with McConnellis
burg as the county mat. It was stated during the
debate upon the proposition that the remotest cor

seem to justify the erection of the new county.—
The bill provides, however, that the question shall

yesterday, returning • bill, with his objections,

Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.
Nair Yoa:, April 15, 1850
On the Bth of Ferbuary last, a gentleman
named George W. Vanstavasen was accos
ted in Liverpool, England, by an imposter
who gave his name as Dr W. H. Hull,
and who applied to him for the loan of 25
sovereigns, (5121.25) to purchase, a mi
croscope. Hull represented that his fath•
er was rich, and resided in Charles street.
Hatimore, U. B. and that he himself was
rich, but he had expended his money in
making other purchases. Hull promised,
ifhis request was granted, to pay back the
money to Mr. V. at the Irving House, or
at his agents in Maiden Lane, when they
should arrive in New York. Mr. V. think
ing the representations then made were
true, loaned him the money, and on his
arrival in New York called on Hall at the
New York Hotel, who.gave him in pay
ment for the amount, a check 9n the Far
mers' & Mechanics Bank of Baltimore,
which was accepted and forwarded to Balt
itnore for payment,• but which was soon
returned, with a statement that there was
no such bank as the one alluded to, and
that.no each person as Hull, as described,
resided there, and that the representations
made by him were false in every particu
lar. The swindling rascal on the 28th of
March called at the store of Messrs Tif
fany, Young & Ellis, corner of Broadway
and Chambers street, and by similar , false
statements purchased a gold watch and
chain, valued at 869, for_which he gave a
check of the following import :
NEW Yoex, 28th March, 1850.

CgiEBRATION OF MR. CLAY'S
BIRTHDAY.
The Neventy.Thlrd anoirersary of Mr. Clay's
Birthday was celebrated with ;ouch display and
enthusiasm, at Niblo's saloon, New York, on Fri.
rits, evening last. The saloon was tastefully deo
entted„and all the arrangements for th•-suPper
lemon scale of magnificence seldom equalled.
The company numbered nearly seven hundred,
embracing • large number of Invited gavots; and
the occasion so honorable to the great statesman,
called forth many patriotic sentiments. Hon.
James Cooper was present; and, in reply to the
6th regular toast, complimentary to the invited
guests, spoke at some length of the distinguished
serykes end exalted patriotism which had marked
the career of Mr. Clay. No man in the country
?ccuPlea a higher position than Henry Clay
and the tribute paid by Mr. Cooper to hie
nying patriotism will awaken a hearty reponse
in every American heart. We quote from the
New York Herald the concluding portion of Mr.
Coovsa's remark ; ea reported for that paper:
"Every .man," said Mr. Cooper, "no
matter what may be his polities, who as
aociates with Mr. Clay, feels himself at
tracted towards him, and bound to' him by
sentiments 'of esteem and regard which he
feels towards no other man. On one °c
ession I saw this feeling which is enter
tained towards Mr. Clay, illustrated in a
most strikingmanner, I refer to that pe
riod of our history to which allusion has
been made by the chairman of this assem
blage, when Mr. Clay took leave of the
Senate in 1532. You all remember the
glorious speech which be made on that
occasion. He retired, as he believed, and
as hie friends believed, forever from that
theatre of his glory, the Senate of the U
nited States, and he pronounced on that
occasion, one of the most appropriate val
edictories that was ever delivered by any
man on any such occasion. And when
he had concluded, when the tones of his
clarion voice were still ringing in the cham
ber, when he was about to retire, as was
believed, forever, there was a rush from
ail sides of the hall to hear aim, to see him,
to shake hands with him, to bid him God
speed for the remainder of his life. This
rush to see, to speak to him, to shake
hands with him, was not confined to those
who acted with him politically for years.
No, not at all. Col. Benton—in whose
heart there is a great deal of good, and a
man who, although he and the great Ken
tuckian have splintered many a lance, and
although it might b‘aupposed that he had
been made callous by political asperity—
Col. Denton came among the rest, and was
not content with shaking hands with him,
but actually clasped him, (outburst of ap
plause) and said, "God bless you, Clay—
for Clay, when you are gone, we shall not
look upon your like again." (Our readers
must imagine, we cannot describe, the en
thusiastic applause which succeeded the
delivery of this.) Calhoun, too, he went
forward to pay the tribute of his hearty
respect to his great rival—to him whn had
been his rival for more than half a century.
He, too, invoked Heaven's blessing on the
retiring statesman. And Mr. President
and fellow citizens, in the vast assemblage
which was collected in that chamber, there
were no dry eyes, there was a convulsive
sobbing, and tears rained from every eye
to the floor of that chamber, when the great
statesman took his leave, as he believed, •
forever. (Sensation.)
This is an illustration of the power which
Henry Clay exerts over all those who
come within the sphere of his influence.
Every man who has a noble and generous
heart, is attached to that great statesman,
on account of his moral worth, to which
I have thus desultorily referred. It is the
same now. He came back to the Senate,
as you are well aware at the commence
ment of the present session of Congress.—
Many members were entire strangers to
him, except by reputation. Many of
them were disposed, from the fact that he
has for so long a time been a great leader
of the Whig party, to look on him with
disfavor and suspicion ; but the frankness
of his character, and the cordiality of his
feelings, soon disarmed them, and now
every man, even the impulsive but gen
erous Foote, and all classes of men, con
gregate around him, to take counsel of
him in these times of danger. Such is
the influence which this great man has ex
erted for so long a period of time, and so
happily for his country. (Applause.)—
This was the Influence, too, which is to
calm the raging waves of faction, and pre li
-
serve the union. as long as he lives (ap
plause and cheering) against all assaults.
(Tremendous applause.) But I know, if
I were to begin at the first history of this
illustrious man, and trace it down from its
commencement to the present time, from
the period when he first entered on the
theatre of public life until the present time,
I would weary you as well as myself:—
Positively, I have not thought for a mo
ment on the subject. I have not collect
ed anything for the occasion, and there
fore, if I should attempt, I would do injus.
tice to the subject. I shall therefore de
tain you but a very - few minutes longer,
and shall only refer to more recent events
connected with the history of that illustri
ous statesman. He has already attained,
in point of years, that period which is an
nounced as the extent of human life ; but,
mentally and intellectually, there are year.
of service in store for him yet. (Applause
that made the walls of the building trent.
ble.) The fire of his eagle eye is as un
quenched as it was 1818, when he was
the leader in the House of Representative',
inspiring by his manly and patriotic elo
quence, his countrymen to do their duties
as patriots in the contest which was then
waging against' England, the
.mightiest
power on the globe. (Cheers and ap
plause.) You will .recollect, 16..Prest
dent, that at -that time, owing to the defeats
which marked..the beginning .of .the-con
test, the country was dispirited, and not
only the timid, but men of keen foresight,
apprehended a disastrous termination of
the war, after the surrender of Hull, at De
troit, after the defeat of Van Rensselaer,
at Queenstown, and other mishaps; but
the inspiring eloquence of Clay in the Con
gress of the United States, animated his
dispirited countrymen, awoke in • their
hearts a flame of patriotism which inspir
ed them with new hope, and through his
efforts in Congress an • entirely different
aspect was put on our affairs. Our coun
trymen, animated and inspired by him, met
and repulsed the British veterans at the
Thames and at Lundy's lane and after
wards at Bridgewater under the illustrious
captain, [Gen. Scutt,] whose name you
have honored with a sentiment this eve
ning. [Applause.] When Mr. Clay took
his seat in Congress, at the commence
ment of the present session, disaffection
existed in various parts of the country, and
= .
islly in the South. There were
threatiNof dissolution. y I.egislative reso
lutions wen acted iif A number of Statue
favorable to the holding of a convention in
Nashville, for the purpose of organising
Southern feeling, if not with ulterior de
signs dangerous to the perpetuity of the
Union. He saw this. He was prepared
to do all that talent and devoted patriotism
could do to check the spirit that was a
broad, threatening such a disaster to the
ciountry. Ile introduced in January, as
every one recollects, a series of resolu
tions calculated to soothe the agitated state
of public feeling--a plan of adjustment of
the difficuties . which existed between
different portions of the country.' II is
resolutions were introduced by a speech
which was - worthy of the best days of
that great statesman. , There Wasliffi'the
power of logic--all the force of precision,
which it was his wont to display when
his years were fewer than, they now, go
EiPP4 ll lOO_ oddity:fore _lhatLepeeelt-' - ,sviist
ended, a different and a better state of
feeling prevailed. It did pot 'suit the
views of many men of the'Soogh or of the
North.; . but the patriotic eentiments so no
bly expressed, had their effects 90 the
minds of Senators and Reprsentatives *lto
had c,ongregated to hear him. Immediate-
IT, those who had begun to deapair of the
preservation of the Union, took new' coui ,
age and began to labor in Concert with hint
to save it ; and it is not too much to say' that
it is saved, and mainly through the inane.
mentality of Henry Clay. piers our read
ers must attempt to imagine the scene of
wild and rapturous enthusiasm—we can,
not describe it.]
Others have done their part, but to the
genius, talent and devoted patriotism of Mr.
Clay is this initiative- in this harmonious
measure due. He it was that gave an im
pulse to that feeling of attachment to the
Union which is so deeply seated in Amer
ican hearts, and in both extremes of the
Union. He taught them to know the, val
ue of the Union. He brought back their
recollections to the fact that they had been
cheated by the outpourings of fanatics—
be showed them the consequences that
would necessarily result from a dissolu
tion of our glorious compact ; that war and
strife would be the inevitable consequence
at home, and that despair in the hearts of
those who are looking on the.isperiment,
which is here being made of mairicompo
tency to govern himself, would be the con
sequence throughout the whole world.-,-
He loves his country no doubt the best, as
every Ameriekn does, but he loves liberty,
freedom, universal freedom of body, of
mind, wherever it exists, or wherever ho .
hopes it will exist. (Another outburst of
applause and enthusiasm.) His views are
not limited to his own country. The bee
con of liberty which first blazed in this
country more than half a century ago, had
caused' a flame across the Atlantic, and
lighted up benighted Europe, and there
you see the influence which ithas exerted.-
Man then rose up front the thraldom ofeen•
tunics to a sense of the rights of humanity.
If that light were extinguished here the
consequences would not be confined or felt
at home alone. They wonld be felt abroad
every where throughout the world where
man is hoping for political reforms and
where 'he is fighting for it. It was in order
to preserve the Union' here for his own
countrymen—to preserve it for the sake
of liberty throughout the world, that he has
been laboring thro'out the present session t
and I have no dobt his labors will be crown
ed with success. (Applause, loud and
long continued.) I have said, Mr. Presi
dent, that others have presented their plans
and wise, and salutary plans, perhaps, too.
The President has done so, and there are
many advantages in the plan which be has
proposed, but had it not been for the efforts
of M r. Clay, no plan could be adopted ; and
although a dissolution of the Union , might
not take place, there would have been an
alienation—The South would have regarded
the North as enemies and the North would
have regarded the South as enemies. But
all conflicting interests and harsh feelings
were soothed by the eloquence displayed
by Mr. Clay on the floor of the . United
States Senate. One word more and I
have done. Henry Clay is not the Presi
dent. I have already said that it would
do him no honor to be so. Slander and
calumny have been used to prevent his e
lection when he was a candidate, and Oa
time the efforts of his enemies may haVe
produced their effect; bat there is no dan
ger that Henry Clay can be permanently or
ultimately affected by either calumny or
slander. He has already lived down • all
slanders that envy has brought against hint,.
Posterity will do him justice, and after he
has' gone some son of the soil, when he
writes the history of America, will mired
on the scroll in living characters, the nsme
and fame, and patriotism, and exalted virk
toes of Henry Clay, of Kentucky.

Mr. Benton, in the meantime, was struggling in
the hands of his friends who were endeavoring to
purventiriter from reaching Mr. Foote. While
thus pinioned, as it were, and yet almost nieces/s
-ilkily resisting the efforts of those who held him,
Mr. Benton boldly denounced Mr. Foote as an as

Mr. Foote, ia the meantime, was restrained

The Vice President, after repeated and vigor

Order having been restored, Mr. Foote rose and
Inquired if he could proceed in order.
Mr. Benton (In a very loud tone and much ex

Mr. Foote explained, he had no Intention to at

of 'the defousive. Ho had been informed that In

when the Senator from Missouri advanced to
