Alt t.tl fr!"
I went out by a private door, and left Urauia beauti
ful in her tears, her emotion, her happiness, to receive
Libels Maurice D'Erval.
From that day, Ursula was metamorphosed. She
was aroused. She became yonni again u nder the sweet
influence of happiness. • She regained even more
'beauty than had passed away; there was on her face
att indefinable expression of joy. Her happiness was
of the-highest naturre; it was silent, calm, mysterious.
'They passed whole evenings side by side in the little
parlor, with no other light than that of the moon which
- shoneie at the open window. They did not talk much,
- but bolted at one another and. dreamed.
Uriula loved with sincerity, with simplicity. She
said to Maurice: "I tun happy; I love you ; I thank
you; I am happy."
Their happiness sought neither the sun, the open air,
• nor space. The little grey house was its only witness.
Ursula worked always, and remained near her parents.
• But though her person occupied the same place as be
fore, her soul had flown away; free, resuscitated, ra
diant. The walls of this narrow dwelling could not
-contain it; it had taken its flight. Thus the sweet
• magic of hope not only embellished the future, but
even possessed itself of the present, and by its all
:powerful pi ism metamorphosed the aspect of all things!
This little house was dark and dull no ever. But a
single thorght which glided into woman's heart, made
it a palace! Oh, dreams of hope! why do you always
fly away like gilded clouds in the sky? Yet he who
has never known you is a thousand times poorer than
he who regrets you.
Thus the time passed away very happily for Ursula .
But one day, Maurice, on entering the little parlor,
said to his betrothed:
My dearest, let us hasten our marriage; the regi
.tnent is about to change its garrison. We must be
married, that you may go away with me."
Shall we go fur, Maurice?"
" Are you frightened, dear Ursuln. at tho thought of
seeing another country. another corner of the world?
There are much mote beautiful places than this?"
" It was not of myself I thought, Maurice, but of
my parents, they are ',cry old to take a long journey!"
Maurice remained silent before Ursula. Although
the thick veil which happiness draws over the eyes
had prevented him from reflecting, he knew wel: that
Ursula, to share his wandering destiny, must separate
herself from her parents. He bad foreseen her gri.'f,
'but, confident in the love he inspimd,had believed that
•this devoted love would- have the power to soften all
the grief of which it would be the source. But it was
time that Ursula should be enlightened with regard to
her future life. And, saddened by the inevitable grief
which he must give to his betrothed, Maurice took her
hand, seated her in her accustomed place, and said to
her gently ;
"It is impossible, love, that your aged father and
mother Amid accompany us in our wandering life!
Until this moment, Ursula, we have loved, wept to.
gethor, made a dream of life without a question as to
its positive details. The moment has come to speak
of the future. Dearest. I urn without fortune; 1. pos
sess only my sword. Still at the beginning of my ca
reer, my income amounts only to a few hundred francs,
-which will impose on us both a life full of privations.
I have depended upon your courage. But you alone
most accompany me. The presence of your father
and mother would bring upon us positive misery; we
should not have bread !"
" Leave my father and mother ?" cried Ursula.
"Leave them with what they possess in this little
house; trust them to some confidential person, and
you, do you follow your husband."
"Leave my father and mother ?" repented Ursula.
n But de you tart know that what they possess will not
support them? that to pay the rent of this sad little
dwelling. I work unknown to them! that for twenty
years I alone have taken care of them!"
My poor Ursula," replied Maurice. "we must
submit to that which is inevitable. You have con
cealed from them the loss of their little fortune. Let
them know it now, for it is necessary. Reduce their
• habits to the little that remains; fur alas! my friend,
we have nothing to give them.
"Go away without them? It is impossible! I tell
you that 1 must work for them!'
" Urania, my poor Ursula!" replied Maurice, pres

Fro.n this our readers will see that notwithstanding
the tremendous efforts made by the whig and natives
the democrats polled over eighteen thousand unflinch
ing votes, whi'e the " universrd whig party" is dwin
dled down to less than four thousand. The Tribune
says that the " Locos," meaning the democrats, have
given quite as large a proportional vote for Nativism
as the Whigs. If this is correct our opponents admit
that the democratic party must be something near
thirty thousand strong in the city of New York, and
that the whig strength is not more than thirteen or
fourteen thousand. Although we have lost the city
• officers ) , yet iu the aspect presented by our political
enemies ofthe position of parties, it is evident that
t he democrats have a sweeping majority in the city,
which will be sufficient to crush federalism into the
earth when they have a fair contest between the two
• parties, unconnected with any local questions or pre
judices.
But the poor wbigs, what can they say for them
aelees? Alas poor whiggies! "Where be your gibes
nowt your coons? yoursiongs? your flashes of met ri
meat that were wont to set the city in a roar? Not

a majority of 180 votes, in the th p e l t ax iill e of Mr. Viavant,
the.prosent wbig incumbent. We have large majori
ties in the COUID6I6 of the firstand third municipalities,
and two to one in the general council.
The editor of the Gazette expresses himself
perfectly satisfied With Mr Clay's tariff principles,and
declares that withth e doubts he had on the subject
were completely removed by Mr C's letter of the 13th
S e pt. 1843. We have never doubted but the editor of
the Gazette ails fully satisfied with Mr Clay's tariff
notions; we have never thought that be or anyof the
other men who are struggling to place the government
in the hands of the whigs cared the toss of a copper
for the tariff. but we merely wanted to see how our
neighbor would get over his former objections to the
author of the compromise act. Mr Clay's letter of
the 13th September. 1343, has satisfied him but what
' portion of that letter proved so satisfactory ho dues not
state.
On the subject of the tariff Mr Clay has been con
sistent since he effected the passage of the compromise
act, and we suppose the letter to which the Gazette al
ludes must havecontained sentiments like the follow
ing paragraph which we extract from one of Mr Clay's
speeches. Listen to it, ye tariff men, and say wheth
er such sentiments ought to be endorsed by the great
manufacturing city of Pittsburgh:
"Carry out (said he) the spirit ofthe compromise
act. Look to revenue alone for the support of go
vernment. Do not raise the question of protection
—which (said the senator from Kentucky) I had
hoped had been put to rest. There is no necessity
of protection, for protection."
These are the tariff sentiments that Mr Clay decla
red in the Halls of Congress, and we suppose they coin
cide with those of the letter of September, 1843.
But if our neighbor is satisfied with Mr Clay on the
tariff question, how does he get over the moral objec
tions wbich be urged against him but a short time ago.
Is not ( lay still a mason, a slaveholder, a duelist, a
gambler, and a profane man? The Gazette has charg-
ed him with all these vices,and we have not heard that
he ever wrote a letter that would satisfy our cotempo
rary that he has abandoned one of them. If a "moral
reform" has hot reached Mr Clay since the Ga 7ette de
nounced him for the facts here enumerated and signi
fiedthe intention of its editor to oppose him at the polls
en the ground of immorality, how can our r eighboi
satisfy his conscientious scruples, and reconcile his sup
port of su.h a man with those principles of morality
and religion of which ho has so often boasted? Per
haps the editor will let the public know what recent
letter or speech of Mr Clay indicates that he has aban.
Boned or repented of any one of the vices with which
die Gazette formerly charged him.
LLT IT BE RIMED= RED.—That the bill introduced
by the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means
for a reduction of the Tariff, at which the whiga
are so much alarmed, does not come within five per
cent of the reduction effected by the compromise in
troduced by Henry Clay, and to the principles of
which ho still stands pledged.
That thirty-six whigs voted against the Tariff in the I
House of Representatives; and that it would never
have been passed beet for the democrats.
That the whigs admitted it was defective, and hoped
a subsequent Congress would amend it. See the
speeches of Messrs Simmons and Merrick.
Tt-at John Tyler signed the present Tariff bill with
which they seem so much in love, and they abuse him
even more forcibly than before he done so.
iSTELLIOENCS FRAM NEW ORLEANS.—The a
mount of specie received on the Ist instant from Lou
isville, New York, Vera Cruz and Harbor Leland was
$231.883; and the amount received on the 2d was
$149,000.

There is no doubt that the people, although they de
him, are extremely patient, and were it not for fear
of the negroes, I think that this coward and despot
would ere this, have been summarily punished, as he is
only fit to be a chief of bandits, and not for a governor

Ia TILLIG EN CI I ROW BALTIMORZ.--We learn from,
the Sun that two destructive fires occurred on the 10th. I
The first broke out in a store room on the north west
corner of Howard and Pratt streets; the lower floor of
which was occupied by Mr. John W. Clark, as a gro
cery; and the upper stories by C D Hinks for the stor
age of flour. The loss of these gentlemen and that of
the owner of the house was,covered by insurance.

The second proceeded from the lumber yard of Mr.
Thomas Matthews, and before it could be arrested, do
atrmed lumber to the amount of $7OOO, and burnt to
the ground a frame house in the vicinity.

circular to the employers, asking an advance of price

Tas Texas PROJICT..—The annexation of Texas,
it is said, meets with opposition in the South. Some
of the Planters say that it would certainly greatly de•
predate the value of all land in Louisiana, Arkansas
and Mississippi, particularly tho two former. It will,
they think, be very injurious, if not destructive, to the
sugar interest of their State, as that staple can be culti
vated to much greeter advantage in Teams, where both
the climate and the soil are more favorable than in
Louisiana; and it will interfere very much with the
cotton interests throughout all the So..Aare States.
LVF°The steamboat Oriole struck a snag on reck
ons' Shoals, Alabama river, on the 26th ult., and sank
in about seven feet water. She had on board four o r
five hundred bales of cotton, a portion of which was
taken MT by the Arkansas.
COTTON BURNT.-A towboat loaded with sishun
tired and eighty-nine bales of cotton took fire about
seventy miles above Savannah, on the 21st ult. It
was all consumed. Loss about $lB,OOO.
rgrThe Steamboat Warren, today passed through
the lower lock, and proceeded up Frenchcreek to the
Frenclicreek bridge. We understand that she will
