The ed ttotillses sot attempt to deny that Henry Clay's career is( oorrigstion and intrigue is now to close; he does ila. deny that in his long struggle to gain the Presi eiesey,he has sacrificed every principle of political - irsstesle--svery feeling of manly independence, and fieeey deceived and misrepresented those who confr ea in him. He does not deny that the whig party Imre Dow discovered, what tbe Gazette, some time ewe predicted, that HeurrCla's none was always •sais omen of defeat," nor_lals he denied, that fraud. falsehood and corruption, were the means on which lie relied to enable him to teach the height of his am- Ilitimethopes. These things are not denied, for they iateisas-selfevident fur even the organ of the fifteen *eddy to attempt to controvert them, but he has the 41inpaienee to insinuate that the Post assailed Mr Clay 1* his personal habits and that ate made the garnb 1* and profanity of the whig candidate, questions in lttm contest. All who have read our paper know that sis false; we seldom ref, r ei to Clay's personal habits without giving the Gazette as our authority, - -end we have, time after time, shown, by extracts from - dm columns of that journal. that the whip themselves, , or at lout the leading exponent of their opinions, Unwed Mr Clay to be a "debauches" and an 'qtrs.. -moral and profane man." We could never bring our *elves to make such charges against an opponent; a libeling of self-respect would deter us from dragging a ioaa's "personal habits," (as the Gazette is now plea "sad biotin the traits in Mr Clay's character which it nineely described with the terms "immorality," "pro fattirtazd "debauchery") into the po:itical arena.— Ms political sins were enough, in all consciencs, to limier him abhorrent to the people, without adding thereto, theism' derelictions charged upon him by 4.1 e Gazette. is opposing political opponents, we oppose theM on political grounds alone, and we do sotclaim any right vehstever to assail them for their "personal habits," vilesesuch habits are of as gross and scandalous a asters astholis attributed to Mr. Clay by the Whig organ. if • candidate for public office is so not*. elated, "immoral and profane" as the unpurchaseble Piston White believed Mr. Clay to be; if he was so addicted to "debauchery" that his own friends would proclaim it to the world, as the editor of the Gazette did, it would become the duty of all who do not desire that such sins should become recommendations ;or political preferment, to raise their velem-against thsalswation of such a man to the highest office in the gift of the people. If Deacon White spoke truly when he said that Mr. Clay was a "debauchee;" that be was an "immoral and profane man," with what -eoasistency can he, professing to be a conservator of public and private morals, censors those who repeated his 'Fords of warning, or condemn the people for re. fusing to confer honor upon a man who was accused ip the leadersof his own party of such improper "per its* habits?" if he did not toll the truth when he made these charges against Mr. Clay, it is with him die sin rests, and he alone is responsible for whatever iojnry they may have done the wht cause. We consider this a sufficient notice of the Gazette's insinuation that we assailed Mr Clay on account of his "personal habits," and we would now like to know if 'be isms& to charge in the paragraph where he ad- mks that Mr Clay has been guilty of due/inf. swear tog, Urge-racing and card playing, that Mr Polk •is addicted to the same vices?

While we admit that he may be right in charging Mr 'Clay with dueling, card playing, 3.e., we deny that ite his any authority for accusing Mr Polk - of Lhasa vices, and we defy him to the proof. He may slander the public men of the nhig party as much as he pleases. but we will not permit him to drag democratic stater -teen down to their level, We now call upon him to pro• Auto the proof that the President elect practices in - common with Henry Clay, the vices of card playing, limiting, swearing and horse racing, or else retract the -eahtmny.

"What will uncle Webster say" to this, Here is another f rontence from the prospectus:— •I`Esoly on it, Whip! that unless all regard for honesty 'mealy dealing has died out of the hearts of the Amer ;out People, the manner In which this election has been won will bring downs righteols retribution on the lends of the victors:" airtherribune likes to talk of "retribution," what .would it think of the idea that the !ate defeat of Clay =was a portion of a heAvy penalty he has been compel , ledte pay for bargaining Jackson out of the Presidency.

We bavernaterinls and means on and through which to exert our energies, and we have energies that need only the stimulus of a spirit of honest and judi cious enterprise, to eonfer upon Baltimore a far higher character and standing among the commercial cities of the earth. than that which she has hitherto enjoyed, notwithstanding its respectability has been, and is, of general admission. But to this end we must silence the voice of the croaker, let confidence prevail, look to our own resources, put our energiesinto operation, rely upon ourselves, and attend to business. The old saying, "There can be no great loss with out some small gain," is verified in the result of the late election. A rtory ii told of a whig who was la menting to another, about their defeat. "A sud re sult, indeed," replied the cunning coon, "but we have accomplished one great, good thing." "Pray, what is that?"

On Monday lest an accident took place 'on the Por tage Railroad, at Plain , No 1, which resulted in the death of our young sad valued friend Edward Bar net, son of Captain John Bennett, of the vicinity of this place. MI B. left his father's on Friday last, with hie boat going eastward, and on Monday about 12 or 1 o'clock, when about to enter the Tunnel at the head of the plan•, he observed something wrong about the Truck, on which the second section of his boat was placed, and proceeded to repair it, unconscious of the danger to which he was exposed. The driver not ob serving his precarious situation, started the horses. Mr B. attempted to extricate himself, but too late— the Truck having caught him between it and the stone wall, mangled his person to that extent that death en sued almost instantly. His body was brought down from Johnstown on a canal boat yesterday. end will be interred in this place today. This afflicting eo. currence is but another evidence of the uncertainty of life, and reminds us again of the scriptural admoni tion, "Be ye also ready."—Blairsvills Record.

Benjamin Franklin Love, of Matagorda county, was murdered on the 13th tilt., by Mr Jes Duncan. The l Matagorda Despatch says that Mr Love accompanied by his negro boy, was overtaken by Duncan on his way to Port Cavallo. Some words were passed between them, and a scuffle ensued, when Mr Love called upon his negroboy to "assist him, or strike Duncan." The latter immediately kn _lard the boy down with the but of his whip, and discharged his gun at Love, who at. tempted to rur., but not being over five or six yards distant, he received a heavy charge of buck.abot in the back of the bead and neck, and fell dead on the beach.

The folloSsOg interest* posers is the coneletion of. eillcosof "Nero:idle Biography," in the ohtsecor. tile Journal.' December, 1778, he relinquished his situation as President of Coogress, for what reason we sre not told, and received its thanks "for his conduct in the chair, and in the execution of public business." His ac knowledgements were returnedfor the honor conferred upon him; which, he observed, would be of service to his children." In the following year, be received the appointment of minister plenipotentiary from the Uni ted States to llolland; and being captured on his voy age, was taken to England, and there imprisoned in the Tower of London on suspicion of treason, and was officially mentioned by Sir John York, as "styling him self President of the pretended Congress." The com , mitment was accompanied with orders, "to confine him a close prisoner—to be locked up every night—to be in the custody of two warden—not to suffer him to be out of their sight one moment, day or night—to allow him no liberty of speaking to any person, nor to permit any person to speak to him—to deprive him of the use of pen and ink—to suffer no letter to be bro't to him, nor any to go from him," Afflicted with the gout and otherdiseases—his head whitened with the snows of fifty-six winters—in a sit uation full of misery—his cup of sorrow seemed to be overflowing. This venerable and illustrious prison er was confined to two small rooms, with a warder for his constant companion, and a fixed bayonet paraded under his window, enjoying neither friend to converse with, nur means of correspondence. Deprived of pen and ink, he at length fortunately procured pencils. After a month's confinement, permission was gran. ted to him to exercise on a limited ground, but a war der, armed with a award, followed him closely. He had availed himself of this indulgence fur about three weeks, when Lord George Gordon, who was also im prisoned in the Tower, unluckily met and asked Mr. Lnurene to walk with him. Mr Laurens declined the offer, and hastened to his apartment. Governor Gore, provoked at this transgression of his positive or ders, locked him up for thirty seven days, though the attending warder proved Mr Laurens perfectly inno cent of the violation of any established rule. About this time, one of hisfriends_and mercantile correspon dents, interested in his welfare, solicited the Secrets-, ries of State to grant Mr Laurens en enlargement on parole, and offered his fortune as security for his good conduct. The following message to Mr Laurens was the result:—"Their Lordships say. if you will point anything for the benefit of Great Britain in the pres ent dispute with the colonies, you will be enlarged." This proposition inspired him with the noblest feel ings, and raising his proud soul above the acceptance of any allurement founded in ignoble views, induced the keenest teplioation. The same friend, soon after, during a private interview with Mr Laurens. observed, "I converse with you this morning, not particularly as your friend, but as the friend of Great Britain. I have certain propositions to make for obtaining your liber ty, which 1 advise you should take time to consider." Requesting to know what they were, Mr Laurens ad ded, "An honest man requires no time to decide upon his answer in cases where his honor is est:teemed. If the Secretaries of State will enlarge me upon parole,l will solemnly engage to do nothing, directly or indi rectly, to the hurt of this kingdoo. I will return to America, er remain in any part of England which may be assigned, and surrender myself w hen demanded."— To which his friend replied, "No sir. you must stay in London among your friends. The ministry will often have occasion to send fur and consult you. You can write two or three lines to the ministers, and barely say you are sorry for what has past. A pardon will 'be granted. Eery man has been wrong at some time or other in his life, and should not be ashamed to ac knowedge it." Mr Laurens immediately exclaimed, "I will never subscribe to my own infamy and to the dishonor of my children." Such newspapers frt.m America es were employed in the publication of British successes, especially in South Carolina, and subsequently to the surrender of its capital, were sent to him for his perusal with an insulting regularity. He was there informed, that his countrymen, refusing to fight in the cause in which they had embarked, were flocking to the enemy for protection and reward, and that the estates of Laurens and other stubliornrebels were under actual *reams tration by the British conquerors. Brit to every -each Communication Mr Laurens calmly and characteristi cally replied, "none of these things move me." In the year 1781, his eldest son, Lieutenant Col-' onel John Laurens, arrived in France, as minister of Congress. Mr Laurens was desired to write to his son, that if he would withdraw himself from that court, it might possibly obtain his father's release.— The reply was—" My son is of sge, and has a will of his own. If I should write to him as you request, it would have nu effect. He would only conclude that confinement and persuasion bad intimidated and weer come me. I know him well. He loves me dearly, and would lay dowo his life to save mine; but lam sure nothing would tempt him to sacrifice hie honor, and I applaud him." In went of money for immediate purposes, and de sirous of drawing a bill of exchange on a merchant in London, and his debtor, be transmitted a pencilled request to the Secretaries of State for the use of wri ting materials. Their lordships received it, but re turned no answer, though no provision had been made for his support. Mortified and disappointed, at not being, able to maintain himself from his own funds, he was suffered to languish in aggravated confinement, and under a complication of diseases, without the slightest prospect of release or melioration. %Yben be bad been confined a year, it demand WU made upon him to pay ninety-seven pound. ton shil lings sterling, to two warders for services in waiting on him. He returned the following answer, '•1 will not pay the warden whom I never employed, and whose attendance Isbell be glad to dispense with." Three weeks after dd., Mr. Laurens received pernals. Ilion from the Secretary of State to have the use of pen and ink for the purpose of drawing a bill of ex change, but they were removed immediately after its execution. Towards the end of the year 1781 his sufferings, which had by that time become well known, excited the utmost sympathy for himself, but kindled the warmest indignation against the authors of his cruel confinement. Every attempt to draw concessions from this inflexible patriot having proved more than useless, his enlargem"nt was resolved upon, but difficulties arose as to the mode of .effecting it. Pursuing the same high-minded course which he had at first adopt ed, and influenced by the noblest feelings of the heart. be obstinately refused his consent to any act which might imply a confession that he was a British subject, for as such be had been committed on a charge of high treason. It was finally proposed to take bail for bia appearance at the King's Bench; end when the words of the recognisance, "our sovereign lord the king," were read to Mr. Laurens, he distinctly replied in open court, "Not my sovereign!" With this declaration, he, with Messrs. Oswald and Ander son, as his securities, were bound for hi. appearance at the next count of King's Bench for Easter term, and for not departing without leave of the Court, upon which he was immediately discharged. When the time appointed for his trial approached, he was not exhonerated from obligation to attend, but solicited by Lord Shelbourne to depart for the continent to as sist in a scheme fora pacification with America. The idea of „being released gratuitously by the British Government, sensibly moved him, fur he had invatia bly considered himself a prisoner of w•ar. Possessed of a lofty sense of personal independence, and unwil ling to be brought under the slightest obligation, he thus exptessed himself: "I durst not accept myself as a gift; and as Congress onceoffered General Bnrgoyne for me, I have no doubt of their being now willing to offer the Earl of C ornwallis for the same purpose." Close confinement in the Tower, for more than four teen months, bad shattered his-constitution, and be was ever afterwards a stranger to good health. As scion as his discharge was promulgated, ho received from Congress a commission, appointing him one of their ministers for negotiating a peace with Great Britain. Arrived at Paris, in conjunction with Dr. Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, he signed the preliminaries of peace oa the 30th of November, 17- 82, by which the independence of the United States was unequivocally acknowledged. SOOO after this, Mr. Laurens returned to Carolina. Entirely satisfied with the whole course of his conduct while abroad, it will readily be imagined that his countrymen refu sed bim no distinctions within their power to bestow; but every solicitation to safer himself to be elected Governors member of Congress, or of the Legislature of the State, be positively withstood. When the pro ject of a general convention for revising the federal bond of union, was under consideration, be was cho sen, with6ut his knowledge, one of its members, but iefttooil to serve.

AN APT QUOTATION A e3rresponclent furnishes the fullovring note on Mr Webstee's speech: The arch-angel of whiggery, Daniel Webster, at a rally of his routed and discomfitted partisans in Fan cuil Hall, on Friday, made a speech full of dogged res olution—which be commenced with the following quo tation from the first book of Milton's Paradigm Lust: "What though the field be lost! All is not lost, the unconquerable will." This is part of Satan's speech after his ratrellione gainst the majesty of Heaven bad been defeated, and himself and his host whelmed in the sulphureous pool of Tartarus. The orator did not like to quote any more of the original, so dropping the qmtation, Iss goes on in plain prose, weaving into his speech, as if original, the ideas and many of Ma words of his Se. tanic model. "And study of revenge, imaterusl hate. And courage never to submit or yield," says the Devil, "Their:enrage to ruin, the firm puileeee, the dove ted adherence to our princples;." says Black Dan. Now we call this plagiarism. With excellent judg ment the god-likeman compared the coalition of the fallen whip to that of the Satanic crew. With equal • ly excellent taste he likened 'himself unto the Devil, and adopted the speech which Milton had prepared fur him. But he should have given the Devil his due, end continued tbe quotations.—lN. Y.

Harrison carried it by 1,977 majority. Mr Clay has succeeded by 2,502, showing a Federal increase of 525. We rejoice in this result.
