The time is still within the recollection of many of oar citizens when HENRY CLAY was among the fore most and warmest advocates of democratic principles. His love of popular notoriety made him take the side of the people, and for a while he was regarded as an • hotrestand ardent democrat. But his inordinate am bi.ion would not permit him to "bide his time," and wait for the honorable preferment that is always-ler tain Lobe conferred on honest and faithful public ser vants by the people. He listened to the dishonest propositions of federalism, he took the Secretaryship with the promised succession as the price of his poli tical honesty; he betrayed the democracy of the coun try. ltod by that act blasted all his hopes ofepopular favor. He has spent a quarter of a century in endea voring to olesinby the corrupt appliances of federalism. a statioa,thet,ifbe had beenbonest and contineed tosup portdermocraticprineiples,mightlhave been conferred up otilietthi tared and enlightened people. Henry Clay has realized when too late, that treason to the princi pies of democracy is treason to the people, and that he who betrays the one can never gain the confidence of theother. Another shining traitor to the democratic patty, is N. P Tallmadge. formerly of New York. He was one of the traitors who sold himself to federalism for the purpose of breaking down the democratic admin. . istration of Mr Van Buren. He labored zealous)) and unscrupulously for his new master?, and received the; reward oftds treason. But justice has overtaken him at last, he is now an offcast from the whigs, they "loved the treason but despise the traitor," and when be is no longer able to serve them they will drive him front among them with scorn and contumely. In • Pennsylvania we have numerous instances of the punishment that has overtaken those who be trayed the confidence placed in them by the democra cy of the State. The band of traitors that fastened the U. S. Bank upon the people. and by that act brought poverty and ruin upon thoushnds of the citi zensof the State, have sunk beneath the honest indig nation ofen outraged community, and none of them now would be elected to the most petty office by the constituency that before their treason deemed them worthy of the highest favor the people could bestow. Some of this band have already fallen to the lowest depth of political degredation, and all are despised by the people, and denounced as unworthy the confidence and respect of the honest men of any party. Ia the fall of these traitors we have the strongest evidence of the sterling honesty of the people, and an' assurance that although fraud and chicanery may fors time thwart the people, yet in the end, all that is not perfectly consonant with the repo:Akan tenets of nor gaernment, must go downbefere the honest and eqoal king principles of democracy. ‘*:A i .

I have again in the c'Aumns of the Daily American, been made the object of an anonymous attack, which I might have permitted to pass unnoticed, but for the accompanying voucher of the editor that it was from "a highly respectable snurce,"—of Mr. Biddle's sin gular notions as to which character the public will judge upon being informed that the author is—Charles Bartlett! The charge conveyed in the attack, like every other imputation that envy or malice has put into a specific form, against the "Three Big Dom s," can readily be confuted. In the legal proceedings which I have instituted, the largest liberty will be afforded to the author and editor to verify their accu sations, or for me to disprove them. This was the only way in which I could enforce a development of "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." In the meantime, I will merely say—and I am pre pared to prove by the best testimony,—that the state. ments in the article referred to, are false and perverted, and that I have the authority of the widowed mother lot saying, that not only were they unauthorized by her, but that she had been indebted tome forcontinued and substantial benefits—very different from the flimsy kindness of those whose benevolence never gets be yond a cheap and convenient "virtuous indignation," which becomes Indicrons upon the removal of its anonymous veil. The only words uttered to the lady by me, upon the occasion alluded to were, to ask, "What is that?" as she threw down the bundle. The extent of cruelty was this, that when alarm was at its height, and while 1 was packing up my own goods and preparing to remove from my store, objection was made to having other property brought iu upon me, into what was considered a hazardous place, to hinder and embarass me. If this was cruelty, there was much of it practiced that day, and double ruTtt too frequently resulted from a contrary course. I have no cause: to fear honorable competition—either for the patronage of the public, or the good services of the best of the operatives ; the price nod quality of my goods will continue to secure me the former; the a men nt and quality of my pay will, as it always hasdone, merit and insure me the latter. It remains to be seen whether envy and malice can achieve, by means of fedsehood, defamation and pretended sympathy for fic• titiousoppt ession, that end willed' fail rivalry has been unable to effect—a diminution of public coufidence and custom Crum the "Three Big Doo N rs."

A New Mannfarturc.—An article from a German pal er has been published extensively which gives a long account of the creation, by t mlvanism, of qn egg, and its subsequent hatching. producing a fine, lively bird of a perfectly unknown species, and without feath ers. This fact. says the account, was performed by Professor Geitling, at Brutiebek, after fourteen years spent in experiments." Notwithstanding the editor of the German paper says that he has seen the bird thus produced, we can not credit the account of its creation by galvanism.— We know that surprising results have been produced by the application of galvanism, such us the muscu lar motion in dead bodies, and the resuscitation, as we have been informed, of small animals,lstich as kittens, after having been drowned. But in the latter case there may have been a mere suspension of animation, which was renewed by the application of galvanism. The organs existed and bad only to be acted on: but, in the case of the bird there is an entire creation, not only of the organic body but of the vital principle.— We doubt it; but on the supposition that, it is true, where will it lend us? Will it not rivet throw all pres ent theories, religious and philosophical? If man can thus, by combinatinns of matter and the application of elements, create andanimote beings, and endow them with mind, or instinct, adapted to their na ture, and competent to their preservation—and if the beings thus created (whether birds or beasts)can per petuate their species—will it not strike at the doctrine of afuture existence and theimmortality of the soul? We should be careful how we give credit to these ex traordinary and extravagant stories, or we may be led into serious errors with respect to our happiness. If galvanism be the animating principle, and mind be nothing more than the eject of organic structure, we shell be at a loss todiscover the immortal position, of man: for, as the elect must cease with the withdrawal of the cause, it is evident that the destruction of the body annihilates the mind. We have no faith in any discovery said to have been made, which thus leads to a conclusion ()nosed by revelation and comsaten sense. If Professor Geifling can thus, by a peculiar arrange ment of matter, produce a living bird with its various delicate and complicated apparatus of heart lungs blood, &c. &.c. what is to prevent litm from manufac turing the ltuman species in the same way? We le peat that we do not believe tt word of the story. It is either a fabrication altogether, or the Professor has played off a hoaa. 7 -Ba/t. Clipper.
