He commanded elf to lease the room but his bride, end to her he made full confessiJo of his terrible infirmity. of its seizing him with ten fold violence at the inn of Mestri, and of the ftightful foretaxlityrs he had felt as their wedding day approach ed. Aulthen he grew calmer, and , the smile again came forth upon his lip, and the melody ttturned to his voice, and at his favorite hour of midnight; in a peaceful quietude that had not been known to him in ibis life, Volpurno died. The - corpsa was carried to Venice, and interred by the English woman by her former trysting place in the Lilo. People wonder at her calmness under such an affliction, for she lived on, but little changed, save that she wascaler and thinner—from the quiet creature that bad won the total affection of Volpurno. • degrees, her more immediate friends died or were called into other countries, and she was left alone —in Venice; and then her solitary pilgrimages to the . Lido became more and morn frequent. As years grew on, and the finger of time imprinted the first furrows! on the fair, delicate cheek, and planted the grey among • the rich beauties of her hairs, these visits increased. While, from day to day, the powers of her body be came older, the faculties of her heart grew greener I and younger. Years dulled not the pristine delicacy of her feelings, and age seemed to nourish instead of impairing the silent growth of memory. A few months afterwards, T again visited the Lido at the same hour, but the English woman did not ap pear. I walked towards the rosebush which I conjec tured grew over the grave of Volpurno; its withered leaves were untrimmed, and the eurth around it newly heaped up. I asked no more questions; the freshness of the mound and the neglect of the rose tree were eloquent informers. FOR PRESIDENT, JAS. BUCHANAN: Subject to the decision of THE DZIVOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION FOR GOVERNOR, FRS. R. SHUNK: Subject to the decisional THE. DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION Q:CI)t Math) iliorning post. THOMAS PHILLIPS, EDITOR PITTSBURGH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16 CLAY'S LETTER ON MAiONRY.—MoAt of our read ers have probably seen a letter, addressed by Mr. Clay, to the Antimasons of Lancaster county, in regard to his connection with, and his opinion of, the institu tion of Masonry. This letter we consider important in more respects than one. It may serve to show the extent to which.the people have been gulled, by the monstrous and awful stories that have been told about the dangerous tendency of Masonry, and contribute • to bring back to the democratic ranks, many of those who, though republicans in feeling, have heretofore c.atapemted with the Antimasonic party, under the -belief; that they were laboring to overthrow an institu 'lion dangerous to Liberty and destructive of Virtue. We all know the arguments that have been used against Masonry by this party. We have been con stantly told, for the last 15 years, that it was an insti tution of the most dangerous character; that its mem bers were hound together by solemn and secret oaths, and sworn to support and defend each other in every emergency; that it entered the Courts of Justice and set the criminal free; that it corrupted the elective franchise; impaired the trial by Jury; disregarded the promptings of conscience; and, in short, throughout every department of business and every ramification of Society exertded the most potent influence. That the I most terrible punishment was in store for those who revealed its mysteries, and that it stopped not even at Murder, to subserve its object. These were some of the crimes with which at was charged, and they were urged with so much apparent fervor and persisted in with so much pertinacity, that it was nor at all sur prising that they had the effect of enlisting under the Antimasonic banner many good and honest Democrats, who, in their desire to overthrow what they deemed a dangerous institution, perhaps never stopped to en quire whether this was not a cunning device of ancient Federalism to slip into rower under cover of assumed ' principles and name. The activity and energy dis played by the leaders of this party,. gained for it a strength in some places, and, on one or two occasions, • supremacy in the legislature of this state. So far from carrying out the original design for which it was' organized, it exerted all its power to advance those Federal principles which the people had before so re peatedly condemned; until at length, disgusted by the juggling and duplicity so manifest in its character, the honest men win had been duped into its support, re turned to the democratic fold, and overthrew at one struggle, the men and party who had so deceived and :cheated them Add it is now, in their despe . ratien and adversity, that the sincerity and honesty of these men are she wn. It is now we see how much they believed the stories they told about Masonry, and how sincere they were in their opposition to it. Most of them are supporting Henry Clay for the Presidency. andthe Gazette of this .city, long the organ of the party. avows its determina tion to support the nominee of the National Whig Con vention, who, beyond all question, will be Mr. Clay. 'And what is Mr. Clay's oidnion of Masonry? WhY; .he tolls these Lancaster Anti masons "I became a Mason in early life from youthful curi osity and a social disposition. All the professed ob jects of the Institution as developed to me (and I knew no other) were charitable and benevoleni. I n ever did - contract, and never would have contracted, any -ob/igations whatever, incompatible with my duty t., my isountry or to society." Fie says further: 4. / n.evenin my life voted for or supported any /Mau, fur any civil or military nr other appointment un .der the government.breause he was a Mason; nor a :gains! any man be - canoe he was not a Meson. In 132 i, I voted for Mr. Adam., as President of the Li n'ted States, although, as I have understood, he was not a Mason: and against. General Amitew Jackson, notwithstanding he was a distinguished member of that Order; but ita proper to state that I was not at all in fluenced by that fact. Among my most determined .political opponents in Kentucky are Masons, who now -or lately held, according to the newspapers, eminent ,stations in the Lodge." What is this but telling these men thatthey are hum bugs and imposters? The Antimasonic party assets that the Masonic•is a dangerous, a blasphemous and a bloody institution, Mr Clay says that all its objects 44 were charitable and ,benevolent." The Antimasons 'have al ways insisted that the members were sworn to upport each other. Mr Clay avers that he never in big life, act oven while a member of the Lode, voted I for aman because he was a Mason. They have said 'that a Warm contracts obligations incompatible with ,hisduty to his country. Mr Clay says that it is no such *jug- Why, what is this but telling them that they are liars and slanderers? And does the Gazette vindi ttate the Antimasonic party from Mr C's imputations? I§79t, at all; but on the contrary considers his reply as "highly respectful!" Mr Clay asserts positively that she institution is a charitable and harmless one;—the pasette will not "dispute Mr Clay's word!" and as ',jaw* that Antimasons can "support him without fear." ipo the people want any better evidence that political lintimasaory has been, from first to last, an arrant and impudent humbug, got up to blind them, and transfer thew to Federalists?: thau this recent admission uf its organ that all it has uttered againit \T•rsnnry has been mere "leather and prunella." AMIIIIMAX I ) l l l9O.2lCrtS AT r.ts r):EMAs . s LAND.— At a pnblie meeting of the citizens of Chester, Ver mont, Nov. 24, Geo. Sutherland made an address, and it was resolved that the President of the United States be respectfully requested to direct the diplomatic a gent of our country at the court of St James, to ask of the British government the release of the American citizens, now prisoners in the bands of that govern ! mentat Van Dieman's Land, and that they be return ed to their country and friends. The release of these prisoners, who were taken in the late patriot war in Canada, is solicited on the ground that many of the leaders in the attempted evolution have been pardon ed and ap:,ointed to office by the Queen of Great Bri tain. The number of our unfortunate fellow citizens i miled and treated as a penal colony in that remote country, is said to be about one hundred. The resolu tions are ably and respectfully drawn, and whatever attention they may receive from the Executive at Washington, these proceedings will not fail to awake sympathy in other quarters. AN HONORABLE TESTIMONIAL.—We observe a let ter published in the Newcastle Gazette, signed by all the boat captains and owners that trade on the Beaver division of the Canal. and the principal business men of the place, expressing the highest opinion of ALEX ANDER NEWALL, &M., the Collector of tolls at the Junction. and hoping thut he may be continued in office during the next season. Mr NEWALL'S conduct as a public officer, must have been highly praisworthy to secure such a very flattering testimonial of confi dence and esteem as the letter we refer to. Cnuncn ROBEED.—The Catholic church in West Troy was entered on the 6th instant, and robbed of a considerable amount of altar furniture. Among the articles stolen are four candlesticks, a chalice, platona or silver plate, for common service. The burglars ef fected their entrance by breaking a pane of glass and forcing the springs of the windows. Mr Payne, of Alabama, asked to be excused from serving on the committoe on elections, on account of delicate health. His request was granted. Mr '3arnard then rose and moved to amend the journal of yesterday, so as to insert his protest. Mr Dromgoole objected to the motion. After the House had decided over and over again the protest should not go on the journal, he thought it surprising that the gentleman should persist. Mr Barnard rejoined, and contended that his pres ent motion was strictly in order. He said he stood upon the constitution, which gave him the right to submit the motion. lie argued that the journal would be uninteligible without th insertion of the protest. Mr Dromgoole insisted on his question of reception. 4. He thoughtit disrespectful to the House fur any mem ber to persist in moving to insert a paper which the House had decided should not be inserted. He did not suppose the mover meant any thing disrespectful, but the act itself was disrespectful. Mr D. contended that the Clark is but the agent of the House, and has no duties but those which are prescribed to him. There was another reason why this motion ought not to be received. It was, that its insertion under present circumstances, after the decided vote,would be a viola tion of that constitution about which gentlemen talked so loudiv. In the course of his remarks Mr D. alluded to Bernard as the member who, with 45 others, were desirous to acquire . the name of "protestants" of the STOCK GAMBLING —The spirit of speculation still continues to pervade the Stock Markets of the East.

A RELIC OF EPA sr.—The New York Sun says that some workmen engaged in digging up the street, on the corner og . Houston and Broadway, threw up on Saturday, with their spades, an old mile stone, nn which was cut "One mile to New York !" This stone was there years ago, when that part of the city was the country. Where the Astor House now stands was then the heattof this metropolis, where the mile stone was found is now the centre. MAPLE SVGAR.-It is knownthatattheagri,uitn rd fairat Rochester, MrJoel Woodworth, of Water town, obtained a premium fur maples ugar, which he refined until it became as white as loaf-sugar. He has published his pr.),!ess in the Watertown Jeffei- - Ronian, which is to boil and reboil the sugar, and cluri fv it with the whites of five or six eggs well beaten in a quart of milk, and a spoonful of saleratos, and drain °lithe molasses as usual.
