'fini Philadelphia Nortb Anic4can, of
Monday, contains the spitsieb of the Hon.
John M. Clayton, made at a publib din
ner given to him at Wilmington, Del., on
Saturday last. •
After alluding incidentally to the recent
eleetion in Delaware, and the defeat of the
WkiggeforAlmOrst time in 26 years, which
heattributes elm rely to the nomination of the
temperance ticket, he proceeds with a his

Inklmmo portions of which are rery in..
titillating, but the crowded state of our co

front his remarks.
~►ith'regard to the Taylor Cabinet, and
the inihsenpa they had on President Tay

'there-has never existed an adminisirs

Was greater harmony and concert of ac

Fasatiood and calumny, directed against

failed to make any impression on his
mind ; and lie adhered to them with a te
nacity which was increased by his per.
fact knowledge of the injustice with which
they were aims Ceti.
Citinciding in sentiment with him on
all important subjects, his wish wad their
law ; and when he heard so of the pit
iful aspersion that his Cabinet ruled him,
'knowing, as he did, how faithfully they
.carried out his own will, while they were
ollenmade to bear the whole responsibil
ity of his decisions and actions, he *cere
al the attempts to alienate him from those
whom he had seta:led as his aidvisetce—
It would be difficult for any man to know,
atanding outside of that Cabinet, the ex
tent of injustice dono to its respective
members, by the device, which was as
cunningly conceivedmi it was industrious,-
propagated, that the appointinade and
even' the actions of the 'Executive - Giiirern•

STRIKING EXAMPLE OF FIDELITY

which arrived at New Orleans on Saw,

'quiet s modest, unassuming person—on

The letters were . .somewhat' soiled anti

of this city, recommending him, in the
warmest terms, to their notice and prow

Farquhar, an intimate friend of his roas

You also say that the manner in which i
the officers:have preformed their duty !
will appear by the slits; and that the war
mute now he dead in tlw Slaraliall'aolfice.!
You then speak of the pernicious effect of
such proceedings, and of. their t.tndency to
disturb thu harmony of the Union, and of
the great importance of having the law
iaitlifully executed; and, finally, inquire
"whether it is not iwthe power. mod is not
the illlCrailtil of the Executivu of the U.
States to cause that law to be faithfully

Tu thin the. Presideot directs me to re
' ply, that you cannot be more deeply im
pressed num he is, with the importance of ,
having the law faithfully executed. Every
I Statue in till. Caulltry, passed in accord
ance with this provisions of the Constitu-
tion, must be presumed to embody the
will of a majority of the ,people of the
Union; and as such is entitled to the re
-1 spect and obudieuue of every true Amer.!
' can citizen ; and the coustitution which
the President has sworn to support, has
made it his especial duty "to take care
that the laws be faithfully executed." lie
1 has no thought of shrinking from his duty
in this or any other care; but will, to the
utmost of his ability, firmly awl faithfully
perform it.
But how is he to cause the laws to be
executed ! Fro, by appointing proper
officers to fill the varous offices, and die
, charge their various functions with dili
gene' and fidelity ; and if any shall be found
incompetent or unfaithful, by reinov lug
`them, where he has the power of removal
1 —by ii lipuitning !mire competent and faith
ful officers in their places. And second
ly, in extreme cases, "wheneierthe laws
I . of time U. States shall be "opposed, or the
1 execution thereof obstructed, in ally State,
by combinations too powerfill to be sup
! pressed by the ordinary course of judicial
: proceedings," or by the powers vested
in the civil officers with.this posse _which
the law authorizes and requires them to
call to their aid, it would be his ditty to
i call forth the militia, atid use the army
1 and navy fur the purpose of overcoming
such forcible combinations against the
laws. But in either case. prudence and
justice require that there should be more
satisfactory evidence of official delinquen
cy, or forcible resistance, than mere rumor,
or newspaper statement: mid yet these
j are all winch have been lurnislicd in this
1 case.
If any Marshall neglect to perform his
duty,' the law gives a right of action to the
aggrieved party for the injury which he
! may sustain ; and if lie refuse to perform
I it, die statue hiss imposed pit him a severe
! penalty. But if he refold) pr wilfully neg
-1 Sect to perform u. when this shall be sails.
lactunly to ads to appear to the;President,
then, in addition to to his liability to the
aggrieved party, it would doubtless be the
duty of the Executive to remove hint from
office and appoint another in his place.
But your letter contains no proof of this
kind, and there(ore seems to require no ac
tion. It is equally clear that no case is
relished justifying a call upon the militia,
or the use of the army to execute the laws;
and the rresident has so Much confidence
in the patriotism and devotion to the laws
which ha - as always characterised a large
' majority of the people of Boston, Mal he
cannot for a moment believe that it will
ever be necessary to call in any extraordi
nary aid to execute the laws, in that country.
- Individuals may become excited. and
may. in the heat of time moment, offer re
sistance to the laws, but he has no doubt
I that in such an event, so much to be re-
I grettedohat 1111$ good sense of the commu
-1 nitY would soon rally to the sumo of the
civil, atithoritier and that those who sus
! tain the law may triumph ; but he directs
!
nut to assure, you, that if, nnfortunatoly.

The President feels the importance of
avoiding, us far as practicable, all cases of!
irritation between the North and the South,'
and especially on the exciting subject ofi
I slavery. Were he permitted to advise,-he'
would suggest to all the importance of per
mitting laws to take their usual course;
and that everything like intimidation and
illegal or unjust annoyance, should be
scrupulously avoided. Every effort
should be made to cultivate a fraternal
feeling. We should be a people of one in
terest and one sentiment, knowing no la
cal division, and tolerating no sectional in
justice. Our Union, so dear to the heart
of every true American, con only be pre
served by a strict observance of the consti
tution, and an impartial administration of
the laws.

GENTL MIN :-1 acknowledge the re

tier in token of your approval of my Con

during its -recent exciting 'session. • A

fering to me thiS gratifying testimonial of
their esteem and contidence, 1 recorniie
the numei of Many dear personal friends
—Whigs distinguished for their worth,
their influence and patriotism, and whip
aro as eminent for their intellectuaLquali.
ties as for theirprivate and social virtues.
Foremost in all the conflicts of the party,
unwavering in their fidelity to it, standing
by it in hs darkest hours without shadow
of change, they hate always enjoyed its
confidence as Billy as they have deserved
its gratitude. National in their views, ea
, pable in their judgment of the effect of
• public measures, faithful to the Constitu.
tton and the 'true interests of Inman free.
' Join, of which the ConititutiOn is the
guaranty and charter, their approval pns
, :losses in my eyes, a value far higher than
it would do, were those who express it
' inere sectionalists, governed by local pre
judices. • It is because they are Americans
as well 'as Whigs, that I prize highly this
' testimonial of their esteem and approba
tion.
The time has come when sectional ani
mosities will endure no further aggrava
tion, if North and South are to continue
to tive together in fellowsliy. The Un
ion is strong it is true ; but it is no par-;
ticular form of words, no device of lan
guage in the Constitution, which hinds it
together and gives it strength. It is the
aflection which the people bear it as a le
gacy of their fathers, and one of the fruits
u( the revolution, which makes it strong.
and which continuing Will make it perma
nent. But let that affection be withdrawn
from it, and the law which declares that
the several States rhall constitute a Union,
"will be as flax touched witla ‘ fire." It is
the duty, therefore, of every patriot to cul
tivate attachment to it, to do every thing
in his power to allay discord, to prevent
estrangement and promote harmony be
tween the conflicting ilections. The Un
ion is to rich a patrimony, too fruitful in
benefita and blessings, not to be cherisheJ
with the most devout and anxious care.—
Its dissolution would be the signal of
bloody, interminable wars, the harbinger
of misfortune to freedom throughout the
world, and of woes unutterable to our
selves.- May Heaven avert a calamity so
fearful !
The measures adopted at the session of
Congress were designed to quiet the dis
sentious, old and new, existing between
the north and south ; and with the Oxcep
lion of the Fugitive Slave Bill, I supported
them with zeal, animated by the know
ledge that something was necessary to re-;
move the causes which were undermining
the foundations of the Union, and threat.;
ening it with ultimate destruction. If
these measures should prove reasonably
successful, in restoring harmony to the
country and safety to the Union, as I firm
ly hope and believe they will, it will be ,
the duty of every good citizen to set his
face agaiust any attempt to repeal them,
or to renew agitation. tinny one of them
require amendment or modification, let it
be amended or modified in such miner I
as experience. wisdom and patriotism may I
dictate ; but let the renewal of the exciting
and dangerous controversy be eschewed
and discountenanced. As patriots NO
owe it to the country ; as IVhigs, we
owe it to the administration to stand by
the settlement which has been made% It ,
is national and equitable ; and having been
recommended and approved by the Pres
ident, is entitled to the cordial support of!
every national minded Whig. The Whig
party is a constitution' party ; all its ob
jects are national. There is nothing lo
cal or sectional in its creed. Cis princi
ples are broad and liberal; ant: should not'
be circumscribed, merely Ito give them a
temporary adaptation to local prejudices,
especially when such prejudices u are me at
variance with the obligations imposed by
the Constitution. As Scion as either of
the great parties, into which the people of
the country are divided; shall adopt a
more geographical creed, proscribing a
course of political action repugnant to any
of the obligations of a federal character,
enjoined upon the citizen by the constitu
tion, such party must sink into in impotept
feeble minority, or the Union be dissolved.
'Pile constitution will cease to be a bond
of union - the moment its violition becomes
habitual; in pursuance Of any organization,
embrseing any thing moiety of
people, nolnatier upon what pretence of
obedience to a higher and holier laws
such'erganization may be founded. Let

ly hope. %Everything is tending towards
such a consummation. Slavery is in the
road of enlightened progress and must be
swept away in its outward course, The
condition of the slave while he remains a
slave, is susceptible of no real .improve
ment or amelioration. Masters maybe
kind, indulgent generous. But the slave
is a 'slave, without any of the incentives
to exertion which call forth and develope
the faculties of the mind, and give dignity
and elevation to the human character.—
Progress however, that progress which is
changing the lace of the world, improving
and embellishing it, will not brook that the
i condition of human beings is the only thing
1 in it, that shall remain unchanged and un
chewable. It will reach the slave and
lift him up from his degradation. But
how, when, in what manner, it may be
I difficult to say. Increase of knowledge
I may enlighten the master to his true in
terests. New inventions and improve-
ments in machinery, may render the labor
of the slave unprofitable. Cotton now
picked, spun and wove by machinery.—
.Like inventions and improvements may
furnish substitutes for manual labor in the
culture of sugar and-tobacco. In short, is
there any thing chimerical in the hope,
that slavery will disappear, naturally and
peacefully, before the genius of advancing
progress and civilization 1 It is idle per
haps to speculate on the subject; but it is
evident that there is potency enough in
causes already active, to affect slavery
deeply if not entirely. To the operation
of these causes we may leave it, with the
confident expectation that they .will do
mere for its extinguishment and ultimate
removal from every part of the country,

Awful Murder fur Money.
Father killed and two of his sons dread
fully and probably fatally stabbed.
An awful murder was committed at New
York on Friday, Nov. 15. under the
following circumstances. A Gorma6 an
acquaintnnee of one of his countrymen
who kept a Beer House at 51 Dev street,
was given lodgings Thursday night, and at
2 o'clock Friday morning got up and stab
bed the keeper and two sons in bed, kil
ling the father instantly, and wounding one
of the eons so badly that his life is des
paired of. The other son may recover.
The bodies were all taken to the ad
ward police station. The murderer knew
that the keeper had $250 in his house,
which is supposed to account for the act.
The murderer got out at a hack window,
and jumped over the fence into a deep
area, which however wu so deep, that
he could not get out, and he was taken
there next morning.
FURTHER PARTICULARS
Never perhaps, has a more diabolical,
willlul and deliberate murder been pene
trated than the one we are about to record,
which occurred at two o'clock next morn
ing at the house No. 51 Dey street, occu
pied by a Belgian named Chita. Maria
Rouseaa and IMP family who have lived
there but a short time. During their so
journ at that place, they have occasionally
been visited by one of their countrymen
named Henry Carnal, who of late had as
certained that hie friend had nearly $260
in ready money laid away for future use,
which it seems he had determined to use
desperate means if necessary to obtain.
Last evening shortly before 0 o'clock,
Carnal arrived from Newark, N. J., and
being poor and having In view the money
in question he applied to his benefaitors
for supper and a night's lodging. The
elder Rousseau objected to his staying
all night, but his two sons Louis and Chas.
consented, and said that• Carnal might
sleep in the room with them, and for that
•purpose laid a, morass on the floor on
which he was to sloop. All riling* being
'ready the two above mentioned and the
murderer entered at about half past nine
o'clock, all of whom lay quietly until
o'clock next , morning, .when Carnal eau

of Chancery, at the July term, Chancellor John.
son decided that in a contract for the ash of land
for a grove sum, in which by the introduction of
the words "more or less" the representation of the
quantity is qua] ified, the number of acres is to be
considered as merely descriptive, and not of its
essence, and in the absence of fraud, deficiency
or surplus in the quantity of land will not await to
vacate the contract. The defendant, John ;tell.
purchased of Thomas D. Hart a farm, called
"Mother's Care," for the stun of $2,300—5600
cub and the balance in yearly payments. The
farm was described as containing 173 acres, more
or less, but by • subsequent survey it was found
to contain but 145 acres, and the defsndant asked
that a proportionate deduction be made from the
purchase money for the difference in the quantity
of land. The Chancellor decided unless a fraud
ulent representation of the quantity vies proved
the contract must hold good.
MR. WEBS'I'ER Al' NEW YORK.—ITon
DANZ ILL WICESTIM was welcomed to New York
city, on Tuesday last, by a large number of friends
whom he addressed at considerable length, dwell
ing mostly upon the Union and sectional agita
tion. He approved most cordially of the New
York Cotton demonstration, and said he stood
prepared at all times to lend his aid in sustaining
and carrying out the measures and sentiments
proclaimed at the meeting at Castle Garden. Mr
Webster proceeded to speak of the purposes for
which the Union was formed. The grand objects
in creating the confederation of States were, first
for the promotion of human happiness, and se
cond to protect the great system of trade and com
merce. When our commerce is in danger it will
then become the duly of every true patriot to rally
for its protection. The Union, however, is not in
danger when the spirit of the people is awakened
for i;s defence. Conventions. North and South,
avail but little. They do no harm, but, on the
contrary, excite the people more to observe close
ly the events that might endanger safety.
'l'he object for which this government was
formed is greater now than it ever has been. Peo
ple need not be alarmed. We shall oontinue to
live together so long as we cherish:the interest
that makes us one people. This is the great put ,
pose that should be first in the minds of all.—
With this the bond of union will grow stronger
and stronger and be impregnable to all other pow.
MR. CLAY AT LEXINGTON, KY.—Hon.!
Has my CLAY, on a recant visit to Fraokford. Ky.
we. honored by the Legislature tendering him the
compliment of an invitation to visit the Capitol.
Mr. Clay accepted, and was introduced by Mr.
Payne in an eloquent address to which Mr. Clay
responded. He thanked them ear the high com
pliment tendered him. He @poke of the difficulties
which have threatened our Union—strongly con.
demised the proceedings of the free States in op
posing the execution of the fugitive slave law.—
He held that the opposition manifested towards
this great compromise measure was at present do
ing more mischief than all that has been done by
the ultras of the South. He strongly advised a
submission to the law. All pure patriots would
aid in sustaining the constitution. Those who
raised their hands against the execution and re
quirements of this act were enemies not only to
their own future welfare but to the peace end hap
piness of the country.
Mr. Clay descanted at length upon the great
rheumy* of the country end reiterated many of
the sentiments he uttered in the Senate daring, the
last session of Congress. He held then, is he
held now, that slavery could not and cannot exist
in California, no matter what might be the enact•
meay of the General Government. He spoke of
the Union in the most eloquent strains of patriot.

OTCoI. Benton has made a long speech in Sit.
Louis, defining his position, upon himself mainly,
upon the Compromise generally, and upon the
Union extensively. He is quite severe upon
Simples," at home and abroad, and wavering
upon the Disunionist.. His speech embraces a
view of the measures pf Congress, and a deka=
of the part played Sy him in their adiustinent and
non-adjustment. There is nothing in the
speech, and it is but a repetition of the pummel
ling which the Missouri Senator ha. so often gi

GEN. SCOTT FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
—Alley Hon. John M. Clayton's speech at Wil

feature of the entertainment was the nomination
by Mr. McMichael of Gen. Winfield Scott for the
Presidency of the United States- Mr. Clayton
was calla! upon to respond to the suggestion, and
said, °without any political purpose," that be had
lived to honor one gallant soldier of his country,
and he hoped "to live to do justice to another."
THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION
Thin body of Southern malcontent, re
assetnbled on Monday week. Chief Jus
tice Sharkey, of Miss., who presided at
its former session, beleiving that Congress
had done nothing to justify resistance, did
not attend, and Ex-Governor McDonald,
loco Men, of Georgia, was elected Presi
dent of the Convention in his stead. On
taking the chair lie made a fiery speech in
favor of secession. Sonic sixty delegates
in all—only one from Virginia, and many
of die Southern States having none—
were present, some of whom seemed dis
posed to put off the evil day of rebellion,
while others were for resisting the General
Government and leaving the Union at
once. Hon. Lringdou Cheves, of South
Carolina, offered the following resolu-
turn
Reao!yeti, That secession by the joint
action of the slave-holding States, is the
only efficient remedy for the aggravated
wrongs which they now endure, and the
enormous evils which threaten theM in the
future, from the usurped and now mite
strained power of the Federal Govern
ment.
In support of this treasonable proposi
tion, Mr. Chaves delivered a written speech
three hours long, after which the Conven
tion very naturally adjourned. The con
vention was still .dapeaking daggers, but
using none" when last heard from. It
will most probably drown itself in an ocean
of talk.
Since the above has been written, we
observe that the Convention has .fissled
out" by adopting resolutions in (sant of
the Union, referring grievances to Con
gress, disapproving of a Southern Con
gress, and then, after much "emolument,"
adjourning sine die. "Lame and Impo

irEtHF. constant, unsolicited applications for

and gratifying proof / that the public mind is
deeply impressed with the vast importance of
this subject. The greet object, however, of In•
surance, should be serail. ; otherwise the whole
motive to insure may bodivappointed. Too much
care cannot be praeised in the selection of an
oflice,' with which to effect the contract. The
choice should be regulated, not by pfesent and
constant large inducements, as this is certainly
incompatible with' future assrerres The pre
miums on life are calculated for the /wrung. If
present and prospective benefits, therefore, are
given, the result, ultimately, must terminate in
diiappointment and ruin. The object
aimed at by this institution is stability and per
petuity. The rates of premium have been care
fully prepared with reference to fluctuations.—
The cash system of payments has also been adop
