wetbein the baronet bad invited to dinner for the put :7 pose of celebrating his new honors; they were assent bled in the drawinprosen, and waiting the announce ment of dinner, when Emily, pale, weeping, anthems - tied, rushed into the room Disregarding all the efforts of one *meant to announce her, anti another to disen ' • camber her of her cloak. About a duzen portly, corn * fortable-looking lords of the creation, and the same ' • number of gaily-dressed, perhaps over-dressed ladies, I occupied the dniwing-ronm; the lights were blazing -brilliantly; Lady Drewett, in a new cornflower I•lue satin dress, and an slatterns cap with long blondu ` rs Iltieame, sat placidly, smiling on her visitors, the pie ' stow of geed humor. health, and affluence. Her chil dren were arrayed in all the perfection of crisp book muslin frocks, and exquisitely shining bait, and the - - new baronet wbs talking to a little knot of friends,and ' laughing louder and looking happier than he had ever —done is his life. Emily's appearance recited much' astonishment. Lady Drewett advanced to meet her, ..perfectly horrified at her dusty traveling dress and - straw cottage bonnet. ••My dear Emily, what hasliappetted?" -4 .0 my dear aunt !" replied Emily, "you know too -well what has happened. How can you bear the re. strain( of company in your present unhappy situa 'lion?" "What arc you talking about, Emily?" said her un -tie, who had broken from his companions as soon as he -.recognized her. "All my good friends have met at my house to-day to congratulate me on my good lot ntuno." "Good fortune!" sighed the mystified, bewildered • girl, thinking of the wreck ofharten thousand pounds. "I em nereminted with everything, uncle; I h eve come cot to reproach, but to console you. This mot ning I -was made aware of your failure in hu.iness." Sir David burst into a laud laugh. and repeated the ^words Ale niece to several of his (deeds; in a mo ment, however, he knit his brows, and !nuked very 'angry. "Some rascal has been spreading slanders a bout me, to injute *my credit," he exclaimed; ••you swill, doubtless, give me rap his name, Emily?" "Willingly," replied his nice. She had deposited my letter in a black velvet reti -cute, which, unlike the generality of ladies, she had not -left by mistake on the seat of the post-chaise; it was hangingover her arm, and she speedily presented her • uncle with the "document," as a lawyet in company • called it, which identified the 'slanderous mad in - .question with my unfortunate self!' • Dinner was jest then announced, Emily retired to "another roum, to conipose het spirits and &flange her curis.and lettet was handed round at the dessert, -in company with the sliced pine-apple and preserved ginger. -"It is the clearest case of defamation I ever knew `in my fife," said the lawyer. "Here i• the signature And address of the slandering party, and also the date •ofthe mouth and year; the letter is addressed to Miss * Brooks, you are characterized as her uncle Drewitt There is not a mere obscure insinuation as to any pos. -eible involvement of your circumstances, but there is a • distinct statement of your bankruptcy, with the accom • yanying comment that it makes quite a sensation in the city. The matter mutt he taken up; it is a duty to society to do so." "To be sore, to be sure," chorussed three or four of .the fat friends' of the master ef the house; "such a rthibg might happen to any of ourselves; an example ought to be made of this young fellow." "May nut Mr Seyto .'s assertion be what the aristo cracy call a hoax?" asked a little quiet man, who sat deliberately peeling au orange, and had not hitherto spoken. THE CLAY Cva.—This body, which has been meeting since the opening of the campaign, in meagre numbers, and transactiug its little business in most comfortable peace and quietness, resolved on last Fri day evening that it would get excited. So at it they went, and the throes of a galvanized frog were not more terrible than the efforts of this "dead and effete" political cabal to raise a "darned fuss, generally!" They first adopted a preamble and resolution in fa vor of the Tariff of 184:?., in which they denounce JAS. K. POLK as an "open and avowed" opponent of that measure. We are not sutprised that the CLAT CLUB should deem it necessary to pass a resolution in favor of this Tariff, because they hove got it into their heads that it is popular in this section, and after the decided opposition of J Q ADAMS, Speaker WHITE, and Clay's other special friends to this very Tariff, they must do something to sustain their claim to he the especial friends of the measure, which they now wish to use for electioneering effect. But do these (Mardi suppose, that the pas-ing of a frothy resolution, by a mere corporal's guard of the adulators of that "gambler, duellist, arid immoral and profane man," will be an explanation to the people why CL T left his post in the Senate when the Tariff was about to be taken up, and why his friends in Con great had determined to "kill the Tariff," and did their best to accomplish it? Do these miserable tricksters imagine that this empty resolution of their meagre meeting will be taken by the friends r‘f the Tariff as an apology for the deadly hostility manifested towards it by their party in Congress, when the fate of the measure hung by a single hair? But further, to "support the Tariff of 1842," this sapient Club have resolved to hold a Convention in this place as soon as is deemed necessary. They should invite Gen. WA DDT THoMrSoN to address them—he made a speech for the wh;gs of Albany against the Tariff of 1842—n0 doubt he could defend the conduct of AD•pis ,WH ()INSLEY & Co., in op posing that Tariff, in an able mariner. The Club passed a resolution challenging the Dem.' crews to discuss the • Tariff, Annexation of Texas, &c. on the slump,'—why did not these bungling deceivers have the courage and the honesty to put their absorbing and predominant measure, a U. S. Bank, 'just like the old one,' into the catalogue? Do they suppose that they can evade or escape that important issue, or Mt:2l . mi OY THE MeitHONS.

Here is a palpable admission that the document, they have already published on this subject are NOT 'authentic.' There is much candor in this admission, and we do hope that they may be able to procure something that can be relied on—they are right in their idea that they have published enough of false and un antlkenticakd papers against Mr Polk. nrAmong other subjects of discussion before the people, GEORGIC DARSIM'S Militia Bill must not be forgotten. To-be-sure, the whigs do not mention it in their programme, but as the democrats will have some thing to do in arranging the details, we hope they will not overlook that important matter. Gay. POLK'S AX CSS TORS.—Writhing under the ef fects of his charges against Hemel( CLAY, which he cannot and dare not formally retract, finding from the averted looks of those whose servant he is, that the friends of CLAY despise him, the editor of the Ga zette has been anxious and impatient to And some thing on which toAiase an abusiveattack on JANES K. rote. He seized wiihsavage avidity, on the charge that he was a •duellist l —.but that falsehood its authors had to swallow—he was in despair—the federal slan derers were not 'quick' enough with 'the damnable I inventions they were batching'—but at last he is I i gratified—they assert that Gov Putt. is the 'grand ' son of a Tory'—and the harrassed and ensiles seek. er after food for slander, falls back and chuckles with delight as be devours the precious morsel. 'Now,' says he, I shall obtain the confidence of the whip. Now I shall compound for my abuse of CL AY, by abusing POLK rooretitterly, if possible. What if I did say CLAY wasa 'gambler,' a 'duellist,' a 'clebau chon;andis 'profane 'and immoral' than,—can I not neutralize that, byiettouncing JAMES K. POLK as the grand-son of. a Tory?' - So to work goes our exemplary Cantwell, and with all the vehemence and fire of a true Pick wickian, he utters tremendous denunciations of the Democratic candidate, on the alleged faults of his ancestors. Likes rigid Israelite, he wants to visit the sins of the father on the children 'even to the third generation.' It is unfortunate that his abuse of Cts. T is nut so fur removed. It was nut Clay's grandfather • pooh mar., who was a 'duellist, a debauchee, and immoral or pro fane,' but those startling sins were done in his own pro per person, and not by his 'grandfather.' But to be serious, if so false and ridiculous a charge is worthy of serious attention,—wh o can wond.r that the hired defamers employed by the whigs. should thus abuse Cul. Pour? Did they not abuse, even more vi rulently, the great and good man of the Hermitage— did they not denounce Jackson as a 'amen who never knew what mercy or magnanimity was: whose char acter has been contaminated with treason, and whose society has been mixed and mingled with traitors; whose heart rusl hands smoke and fume with the blood of innocence, massacred ince°, reflection.' They did not content themselves in their war of defamation nri him, with the abuse ofmen; fur want of fathers apd 'grandfathers,' the base and cowardly slander attacked the characters of women—the ma - ther and the tosfe of Jackson, were dragged before the public gaze. Gil. Pout should not complain if they confine their abuse to the dead ewe of his family, if they but let the women who surround his fire-side alone. We do nut suppose that this consummate and crue slander will be thought worthy of an elaborate refute tion. The following from the Nashville Union will be considered sufficient at least until the Clay Club can get something more "authentic;" they should wt ite forth. with: •• The Louisville Journal, edited by Mr. Clay's bio grapher, and which is his confidential organ in the west, is waging the same kind of warfare upon Gov. Polk which was waged by Mr. Clay's organ in 182.8 against Gen. Jackson. Unable to invent any slander against Guy. Polk himself, which can effect his char ' acter, that vile tool of Mr. Clay is engaged in digging up the ashes of his ancestors and slandering them be fore the people of Kentucky. He charges and asserts that Gov. folk's ancestor was a tory in the revolution, and only escaped the galloss's by concealment. This most fool slander is uttered by Mr. Clay's confidential friend, rind Circa unrelniked by him.—.% viler slander never issued from the mouth of fiend than is this which Mr Clay's biographer utters. Yet Mr. Clay is willing to see the ashes of the ancestor of his competitor rak ed up and slandered, and to enjoy the benefit of the eidunn.y. It is just such conduct us this that has for ever disappointed and przstrated the ambitious hopes of Mr. Clay. The truth i•, that nu mcii in the south were more highly distinguished nor more promi‘amtly remarkable for early fighting and hard fighting in the camp of freedom, than that of Gov. Polk's ancestors and relatives in North Carolina. It is w ith shame and scorn that we, the descendants of North Carohider /1, find our next neiglih.ir reviling the great and good name of Polk—one of whom ss as shot through at the Cowperis—shot through at Germantown and shut through at Monmoath. A tit mily who wore sonic of the deepest scars and lnightest laurels of the revole tion. It does seem that no man can come in the way of Mr Clay, that he is not stigmatized and slandered by his hireling tools; but it is a matter of consalation, that in every instance heretofore, justice has been meted out to the slanderer. So it will be now." Fun THE CLAY CLUB.—.I.I the members of this body have taken a new notion, and have suddenly re solved to deal only in "AU TIIF.NTIC" papers we submit the f;d lowing for their consideration. We feel esoecially glad that the unscrupulous and careless prac tiers of the Club are to be abandoned, and that they will now only deal in well established facts. It will give 113 pleasure to furnish them with a series of 'au eltentic" documents concerning the life, services, pros. pec and character of HttrißT CLAY, taken fromtheir own organ, the Pittsburgh Gazette We will begin by quoting a pniamble of the Clay Club,denouncing the Gnzette for misrepresenting Clay's views: it was passed, Feb 11 , 1843: " Whereas, The Pittsburgh Gazette and the liar riiiburgh Telegraph, though professing Whig prin ciples, have been, and still are, engaged in misrepre. seining the riCWA of Mr Clay upon the subject of pro tection." in reply to thiA, the editor * of the Gazette, among, other thingx. wrote el fellows, on the 15th of Februa ry, 1843: "In reference to our statements of Mr CLAY ' S pres ent tariff principles, we have given them just as we understand them; and we are not alone in our opinion, for Mr Clay is supported by the Whigs at the South for holding just such principles os we understand him to hold. When his language will allow so mach latitude of construction, that his friends in different sections of the country support him for opposite reasons, the Clay Club hardly does us jus tice in charging us with misrepresentation. "But we begin to have doubts about the propriety of our using the name Whig in reference to ourself at present. The meaning of the term Whig, NO N, is a 'Clay man.' The wo-cls have become synonymous. To such an extent has this idolatry been curried, that if Mr C/A,/ should die, the whig party would die with him. Its 'sour would be gone, and the poor, inani mate corpse would be powerless. We do not wish to place our political principles in such jeopardy. As far as we can co-operate with the Clay Club and the Whig party, in opposing the unhappy influences of Locufocoism, and in supporting the principles above noted, it will give us great pleasure to do so; but when me are asked to do that which our conscience tells us is wrong, there our paths diverge. We will do every thing honorable for the promotion of correct prin ciples—nothing for the promotion of any man, apart from principle." There is an "authentic . ' fact, in the history of the CLAY CLUB, and the editor of the Gazette! IVO shall have more, perhaps. hereafter. lar'We are really diverted to compare the names on the whig committees this year with those on their committees in 1840. We shall not particularize, or set man against man here, but we advise those who lack amusement to get the proceedings of the Clay Club, see who they are that fill the places of Inwza, BLACK, CRAIG, ELDER, SUTTON. &c.

We regret to say that the unwise and unnecessary persecution of poor Dorr has at length been consum mated by sentencing him to IMPRISONMENT AT HARD LABOR FOR LIFE ! Humanity cries out against it, and history will blush to record it. How it contrasts with the truly Amer ican course pursued by the government of Massachu setts in the case of the Shays and his associates, in 1787. How it assimilates to the course at this mo ment by the tories of England towards the g reat O'- Connell. We know we are disobliging some very dear and valuable friends, and that we shall be misunderstood, and still more misrepresented, by those who vainly imagine that a blow at us it a wound to the (nose of Liberty. But we have never yet parted with ourl,iri b right, of letting our sympathies follow our own judg ment, and of speaking them forth whenever we may thereby alleviate the burdens of the unfortunate.— Another time we shall give our views more in full on ois case. We now simply say, that this whole pro ceeding against Mr. Dorr, is in our view a disgrace to the country.—Emancipator. THE ENGLISH DUKES. The True Sun in sketching these sprigs of Royalty Burs: The Duke of Cu nberland never bad a good charae• ter. He could not have obtained the situation of a gentleman's servant if be had been in common life. The Duke of York was disgraced by his infamous con nections. The Duke of Cambridge is a respectable kind of person, but a poor general and a vacillating politician. The Duke of Kent was rather a respect able person. but still very mediocre in ability. The late King William the Fourth, was what might be termed a whole souled mon, but not over scrupulous in the gratification of his tastes. The Duke of Sussex appears to have been considered an agreeable. good hearted man, but he too was forced by his tempera ment and by his fancies, to give himself and his coun trymen a good deal of trouble When a young man he visited Italy, and while at Rome fell in love with a lady by the name of Augusta Murray, although she wasseven years older than him self. She appeared to .lernilse him at first, but this only made him more determined to succeed. They were married privately. The correspondence of these personages is quite absurd and common place, and rises bin little above that of a child. Among the documents we find the contract of marriage between the parties, drawn up by himself. It reads thins: "As this paper is to contain the mutual promise of marriage between Augustus Frederick and Augusta Murray. our mutual names must be pot here by us both, and kept in my possession; his a promise neither of us can break, and is marls before God our Creator and Father.
