Little did we think when, a few days ago we
recounted the miseries• of a bashful man, and actu•
ally wrote an advertisement for him for a wik,(hy.
the-by. lie has got her s ) that we should be faiored
with the distresses of a bashful woman; but so it
is.--"the evils that flesh is heir to' , are by no means
confined to the masculine genders and the saying
is as true as it is trite, that "we shall have our
troubles."
Among the letters Which the mail brings to our
desk, I opened one in a delicate female hand-writ
ing, such a one as cannot well be mistaken for a
man's—a little round hand, cleanly written, and
neatly folded, and sealed with a purple medallion
wafer. I always open such first, es it were by in
stinct. The lady, with whom I had the pleasure
of alslight acquaintance, after sundry compliments
to taste, ingenuity, etc:. gave nie an invitation to
call at her house, and examine some choice speci
mens of wax flowers; etc. etc. which herself and
sister had manufactured for some charitable fair or
other.
I am always_ at the iervice of the, ladies—
whether to see their paintings ; examine their ham
dy iieedle4s-oric, bear the recitations of those who
wish to follOw the stage, or listen to the vocalist
who desires an engagement for the opera.
Her exhibition of wax dowers, of needle-work.
screens, scrap-tables: etc. etc. was really creditable
to her taste, ingenuity and application; and after
some desultory conversation on modern education
and pursuits—something about the Lucretias, Por
lias, etc. etc. of old, she broke forth thus:
"Appropos of the retiring habits and unobtrusive
modesty' of those illustrious fernales, I read the oth
er day some remarks in your. aper, very pointed
and,appropriate, concerning a bashful man; now,
has it ever occurred to cod that there are situa
tion in life very embarrassing to us females, and
that if there be any bashful men with cause, there
are powerful ones calculated also to make bashful
women!"
"20, so." said I to myself, •pit is something more
melting than wax which I am fated to listen to.
Why, yes, madam. there are many situations in
life, accidental or r,aturtd, which must be very em
barrassing to a lady; but still they are to be over
come by perseverance and address: but embarrass•
went does not always imply bashfulee..s."
"Very true; but they arc very nearly related, and
rim so naturally into each other, that a separa
tion is as difficult as a matrimonial divorce. Your
applicant for a wile was put to his trumps from
The simple fact that he had no female u4quainces
at all; now there are many females who ha, e abun
dance of male friends and admirers, but who are
still from many causes far removed from the chan
ces of matrimony."
"Name one, madam," said I, "and tic must at
tempt to remove IC'
"tan you Editors be trusted with a secret"
"Oh, assuredly; we arc as s.ecret as women, and
as dose as a double cylinder printing-machine-"
"Ring the bell for some refreshments. it is near
two o'clock. You must know that there are three
of us sisters, all spinsters—not old, nor, as you
will say, if•you have any gallantry, ill-favored.
We has'e all had good educations; English at Mrs.
°kill's French and dancing at Madame Chegary's.
Our father, a dear good soul. indulges vs' in every
reasonable desire; dressing in the fashion, and of
the best; the opera, comedy. the assemblies, and a
grand party or two every year; but our evening
soirees are the most sociable, comfortable and ra
tional; tea and toast, music and dancing, a qua
drille or two, wandwick and negus, conversation
and reading, until nearly eleven, when our beaux;
take their leave. Now our father is a business
Man; up at daybreak, and seldom at leisure until
after dark; his head, of course. filled with all kinds
Zif business speculations. It is our wish that when
he comma home at night. he should forget the busi
ness of the day, and like a man of the world skim
over the surface of every othor topic but business;
but, alas! it is the never ending. never dying pas
lion. If he finds me seriously engaged in a car..
versation with a young gentleman, w•hotn I like
and who I-hope likes me,just at the moment when
we are beginning to be sentimental and somewhat
. confidential; when he earnestly talks, and I serious
ly listen, father thrusts his benevolent pliiz between
• us and 'begins—
4 , ;
Tell. any arrival this evening? wind quite
fair—had a good day's work—country merchants
toutnaling in—let them come—plenty of goods--;
take any kind of money now, aint particular—how
are you off for French goods? I m pcking, op a
few cases—l think I smell a fight, and had better
be prepared—canals will soon be open—transpor
tatiou somewhat reduced—hope our country-friends
will be prepared with the needful—we must ac
commodate Them, however. eh ?•'
"Thus, sir, he interrupts us at a most critical
moment, and turns a tide of conversation, which
is probably !lowing through a bed of roses, over,
the rugged and pebbly path of business. French
goods, calicoes. challeys, and calainancoes--how
provoking!"
"Mv dear madam. awl why not expostulate
with him on such mal apropos interruptions?"
"I have done so a hundred times. but be con
tends that if girls expect husbands, they must
keep the young men at a distance, and the more
they advance the .more we should recede; then he
continually - quotes from scripture the examples of
the modest. bashful and admirable wives of the
patriarchs."
"Well, could you not explain to his satisfaction?"
"Could I not! indeed I do so; for the other eve
ning I flatly denied his position, and run up stairs
for the old family bible and read the following to
him in corroboration of my opinion:
"And they called Rebecca, and said unto her
Wilt thou go with this man? and she said, I will
"riaere, father, there you hare it," said fi "the
dear, honest, unsophisticated girl! no silly bashful
ness—no wavering, hesitating inclinations. ' she
comes up to the maik like a girl of the world, at
once, and says to the man of her heart, "I will
go!"
"Well, this pothered him a littler'
"No, not at all; he attempted to explain it away
to suit his own interpretation; in short. it is indeed,
very embarrassing to us, and really makes me as
bashful as your friend who advertised for a wife."
The lady was right; and her case is not a singular
one, and I reflected upon it as I walked home to
dinner. More good matches are spoiled than are
made in this world; and if, as it is said. matches
are made in heaven, the good angel whose breath
is about to fan the spark into a flame, is frequently
disappointed by the raven wings and croaking
voice of the evil spirit. Many a clever fellow is
driven from the presence of the girl he loves by
the caprice of a father er mother, or a prejudice
of a brother, or the unconquerable aversion of au
old maiden aunt; one finds fault with hie family—
the other thinks he is not devoted to business—a
third considers him unfashionable, and a fourth de
clares him to be unpolished. Every member of
the family has some prejudice to indulge—some
defect to point out—as if they were to marry the
man, and not the party most interested. Girls
wait be discreet in making their choice, and fath
ers reasonable in giving their consent. Too much
must not be expected on either side; something
must be left to the doctrine of chances, for perfec
tion is unreasonable. If, therefore, parents will
not allow girls to choose for themselves. neither
will they choose for them. at least they should not
allow unnecessary • obstacles to be thrown in the
way of a fair choice or a fair chance-
pi An illustration of the modern way of say
ing yes:—
John. wilt thou have this woman for thy wife
And love her well and truly all thy life?
Said John, with nod intended for a how,
"I won't have any body else I vow."
And for husband wilt thou have this youth,
• -And love him with fidelity and truth?
His Reverence said unto the lovely she,
Who blushing answered, "Yes sir-ree."
ccjP• Mr. Clay, in a late letter to some Eastern
ladies, very graciously atnowle4ged the 'receipt
of a present of a fine silver waiter.
It strikes us that the ladies have played off
Upon "gallant Harry," a very sly sarcasm. Where
is there . such a waiter as 'Henry Clayl—a more
polished waiter?—of long service?—a waiter that
has waited More,and to less purpose?—a waiter that

CoI. M'Candless—The Tariff.
The editor of the Gazette in noticing the fact
that Cot., ArCas-ozscs is now in Washington
city exerting himself to save the Tariff, says:—
"he (M Candless) wrenches the lock off the sta
ble door and invites the thieves to enter, and pite
ously beseeches them, when they have bound him
hand and foot, not to steal the horses." The edi
tor of the Gazette seems to have fargotten that his
friend Mr. Chat wrenched the lock off the dour
of protection in 1832—that by him the Tariff po.
licy of the country was.disturbed—that he [Clay]
in 1532 "throttled the Turitr and “put the I: nye
to the throat of protect Leif end asked for help to drill
it home."
Let us sec who it was that first “wrenched the
lock off th'e stable door" of protection.
Mr. Clay in a letter written to F. S. Brownson,
"After my return to Congress in 1531. my ef
forts were directed to the MODIFICATION and
REDUCTION of the rates of duties contained in
the act of 1828. -
Here we have the distinct admission of Mr. CLA I
himself that after hie return to Congress in 1631,
he exerted himself to have the Tariff of IS2B lir.-
DUI' S.D. or in the language of the Gazette. he
wrenched the lock off the staLle door—let in
the enemies of protection and assisted them to
"throttle the Tarrff."
Col. 31 . C...!tra.r.ss opposed the election of Mr.
Clay for the reason that in various letters to south
ern gentlemen be had expressed a determination
if elected to adhere to the principles of "the com
promise," act of 15:32, a measure which Col. Mc-
Candless had at all times freely denounced.
In order to give our readers a fair view of the
subject we append injuxtaposition, extracts from
Mr. Cz•T'S letter to Mr.Mewrriweather. of Georgia,
his speech in the t:ene.te on the 21st January, 1842.

tract from Mr. Clay's
speech in the Senate on
the Treasury Note bill
21st January, 1842. re
ported for the Whig Na
tional Intelligeneer.
Col. Nl . C.centras in 1644 opposed the author
of the "ODIOUS COMPROMISE BILL, and as
the friend of the Tardi policy in doing so he act
ed consistently.
The “odious Compromise Lill," as is well know n
provided for uniform duties of twenty per erat, be
ing ten per teat below the amount fixed in MKay's
bill on iron, coal, wool, &c. To the principles of
this bill Mr. Clay was in favor of adhering, and
we presume would have done so had he been elec
ted President of the United States. The Whigs in
justification of the Mr. Clay in this matter, contend
thatit was necessary• to compromise, in order to
prevent the passage of Verp/anek's bill,a still more
objectionable measure. Unfortunately for the
whigs, there is no truth in the statement, so far.
at least, as iron is concerned. The Pennsylvanian
of Tuesday, in referring to a speech made by Mr.
Buchanan, in 1844, at Milton, says:—"Under Mr.
Verplank's bill, Mr Buchanan stated that the duty
on hammered iron was fixed at $l5 per ton; o n
rolled iron at $24 per ton; and on pig iron at $8
per ton;—duties nearly as high as those imposed
under the act of 1642, and far higher than those
contained in Mr. Clay's Compromiie act."
So far as the Tariff of 1842 is concerned, it is
well known that some thirty Whigs and devoted
friends of Mr. CLAY voted against it on final pas
sage in the House of Representatives, and that
Mr. CLAY himself, never expressed a decided opin
ion in its favor until near the election; he then in
a letter to a Mr. Corr: declared that if elected he
would not favor a repeal of the law, but took good
care not to commit himself upon the question of
its modification. It is also true that friends of Mr.
CLAY in the Senate when it was known that the
bill would pass, endeavored to have the operations
of the law limited to two years, so that Congress. as
was said at the time, could have full time to "read
• •
just tt on proper principles."
For several years after the passage of the "odi
ous enmpromise Bill" as it was characterized by
the editor of the Gazette, it was conceded on all
hands that Mr. Clay had "abandoned his Tariff
friends,"—that he was no longer to be relied upon
as the friend of the protective policy,anda new tead
er was chosen—"the friends of the protective policy,"
says Mr. Denny in his letter of Feb. 14, 1833,
"now rally around Mr. Webster."

fearfully loud cry that Government should put in
tare some power to stop the incessant crimes com
mitted in the Cherokee nation, and on the "line."
An old Cherokee by the name of Baldridge, with
another Indian, whose name we have forgotten
was killed last week about 8 miles above Evans
ville, and two or three negroes Atolen from the
premises. Another outrage was committed on
the night of the 24th, on Arkansas soil, by a
party of Cherokees, who, crossing the line, attack

inmates, dangerously wounded Wm. Ryder, and a
man named Chambers.
OUTRAGE UNPARALLELED.—On Saturday night

destroyed every thing it contained. All the types
were thrown into one heap, the forms were kicked
in. and the whole office reduced to a mass of pi and
rubbish. We hope the perpetrators of this out
rage will be detected and punished, for the individ

malice, would not hesitate to commit arson, mur.

of great offences.

FOR TUE DUILT rOST
SENATOR BENTON.
Mx. BIOLZIC-I was gratified in reading in
your paper of yesterday the brief extract from a
speech of the distinguished Senator from Missou
ri, delivered in IS-12, relative to the tariff. The
passage quoted, lays down a rule and principle,
vsbich are sound and arthodox. Mr. Benton is a
man who investigates profoundly, and having
established a principle. he is firm and determined
in maintaining it. His whole career has been
marked by an earnest investigation of all great
questions; a laborious preparation and retearch.
and a devotion to fixed principles and established
tnahs, which render him alike an object of con
fidence and admiration.
Fortunately for Penna. in this emergency Mr.
Benton's views assimulate in many respects, to
those of the democracy of this state, on the sub
ject of the tariff: He holds certain doctrines upon
this subject, in common with us. And his past
line of conduct furnishes a g uarantee that he will
insist upon modifications of the bill now pending
before the Senate; and that he will utterly repudi
ate some of its unsound and unpbilosophical princi
ples. Such is my confidence in Mr. Benton, that
even as a Pennsylvanian. I would implicitly trust
the mending, moulding and perfecting of the pres
ent tariff, exclusively to his judgment and mag
nanimity. A AIECHANIC.
CONGRESS
In the House of Representatives on Monday,
the bill graduating and reducing the price of the
public lands was taken up !or consideration.
Mr. Cobb offered an amendment in lieu of the
whole bill.
Mr. McKay offered an amendment to the amend
ment and called for the previous question, which
was sustained.
Mr. Rockwell, of Vt., moved to lay the bill and
amendments' on the table—yeas and nays order
ed and stood 00 to 69—Chair voted in the nega
tive, so the bill and amendment were laid on the
table.
Mr. McKays amendment was then put to vote
and rejected—yeas 88, and nays 03.
The question was next taken on Mr. Cobb's a
mendment, and decided in the negative, 87 to 95.
Mr. Douglass moved to reconsider the vote by
which Mr. McKay's amendment was rejected.—
The Speaker decided the motion not in order, as
Mr. Cobb's had been rejected. The vote rejecting
the latter had first to be reconsidered, before anoth
one could be made to lay the bill on the table.—
The yeas and nays stood, yeas 91, nays 92.
Mr. AlCielland moved to reconsider the vote re
jecting the amendment of Mr. Cobb. The vote
stood yeas 90, nays 90—the Speaker casting his
vote in the affirmative declared the vote reconsid
ered. •
A motion was then made to: adjourn and lost.
Mr. Ashman moved to lay the bill and amendments
on the table. On this motion the yeas and nays
were ordered and stood—yeas SO, nays 92: so the
House refused once more to lay the bill and amend.
ments on the table. On motion, House adjourned.
Q. At Cincinnati on the 13th there eras 8 feet
water, failing.
The St. Louis Republican of the 7th says:"
From the officers of the steamer Tributary,
and a passenger, who came from the mouth of
the Big Platte, we learn that the river is falling
from that point down. Below St. Josephs there
is from 6 to s feet water in the channel.
The steamer Lynx, from St. Peters reports the
upper Mississippi falling. Below that point to
the mouth of the St. Croix, there is scant three
feet, and from thence down to Galena four to
four and a half feet water in the channel. On
the lower rapider there was about three feet wa
ter and nearly at a stand.
In the Illinois there has been a rise of eigh
teen Incises at Peru, but it was falling again on
Thursday, when there was full three feet water
in the channel from Peru down.
The river is falling slowly at this point, and
from here .down to Cairo there is nine to ten feet
water.

PITT9BI7IIOII IND Ctsvr.L.cso.—The following i
worthy of notice:
Mr. lIENTIT OTZTLLT, who has contracted for
the construction of the range between the AtlOn
tic and the Mississippi, including Ohio Valley and
the Lake country, says, in language which we find
quoted in a Philadelphia paper: It is probable
that the whole of the first section intersecting the
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton lines, Will be completed to the Ohio river at
Pittsburgh and Wheeling, in four months froin the
first of July. The arrangements now making on
the second, third and fourth sections, (between
Wheeling and Columbus. Columbus and Cincinnati.
Cincinnati and Louisville.) it is believed will en
sure the completion of the telegraphic connection
between the Atlantic and the Mississippi before
the close of December next, If the citizens of St.
Louis and other places west of Louisville will
promptly unite in the enterprise, by forming an
association, and furnish the moderate portions of
means requisite. The construction of the lake
branch of the route forking off from Pittsburgh to
the chief cities between Buffalo, I'etroit and Chi
cago, will be influenced by the desire which may
be manifested by the people of the Lake country
for participating in telegraphic intercourse with
their fellow citizens.
It is thought that the Great Southern Line to
New Orleans will be in operation some time . in
October. There will, there!ore, in all probability,
be only one link wanting at the close of the pres
ent year to unite all the principle cities of the Union,
viz: between Louisville and New Orleans. Even
this may be completed during the year if the citi
zens of St. Louis, Meniphis, Natchez. and New Or
leans so will it. Thus in less than one year from
the commencement of this -.undertaking, there is
a probability of its being extended from one end
of the Union to the other. and all the principal cit
ies partaking of the advantages which must flow
from it and which are just beginning to be experi
enced.
Effects of the Ileat.—Since Friday noon, the
Coroner has been called to hold inquests upon 30
persons,. whose deaths, with a few exceptions,
were occasioned by imprudent exposure in the
sun, and 7 oiher- cases ~of

are still on hand and require the attention of

'EVER DESPAIR-1 ou tan .e cured!
barntnisvu.ir..; (N. J.) June 10, 1946
Dr. D. JAYNE, Na.. 8 south Third street, Philadel
phia.—Dear Sir—l 'have 'lila day had an interview
with the gentleman of whom I made mention to you
as having taken yotir Expectorant with such decided
effect. He isa respectable farmer, living a few miles
from here. I was' so much interested in a detailed
account he-gave me of his cough and cure, that I
embrace the Pint Insure moment to communicate it
to you, and if the care is as radical as it aßpears to
be, it is the most remarkable one I have ever known.
For 32 years (after having the measles) he has been
suffering with a cough of the most distressing kind,
getting worse as he advanced in years; (he is now .55.)
Frequent terms of coughing and difficulty of breath
ing, lasting from an hour to an hour and a nail;
would come . upon him, with such severity as to ex
haust him, with strangling until his eyes became
bloodshot. He had ildespaired of being cured, har-.
ing tried physicians and a thousand things without
relief. For nine weeks immediately previous to his
taking the Expectonnt, he had not been able to 'go
to his barn, although there was the most urgent ne
cessity for him to dt;, so.
During the. nine weeks he was under the care of
an eminent Physician, and he finally got just able to
go out and came to any store, and, hearing hiccough,
I recommended to him your Expectorant. He first
said he had tried so: many things that he had no con
fidence in any thing;lbut I induced him to take a bot
tle by telling him of persona of my acquaintance who
had been decideplylbenc..ixid by it. This was on
Tuesday; that night no wok; of it, and says that it was
the first comfortable night's sleep he had enjoyed
for years. On the Thursday following he went to
work, and has continued ro make a fill! hand on his
farm ever since, (now nearly two months.) He told
me to-day that for the last week he had cut and split
a hundred rails, or made 100 panels of fence per day;
.has been in the water to wash his sheep, and other
wise exposed, withint the least symptom of a return
of his cough, it haVing entirely disappeared, and,
strangest of all, one pint of a bottle has produced
the effect. Ile seems so thankful and overjoyed that
he "wants to talk di day about it," and says that if
he could not procure enother bottle, he would refuse
$lOO for the remainder of the bottle . he has lett.
Your Carminitive Ilatsom I have used or recom
mended to others for the last ten year, with the
most salutary effect. Kespectfully yours,
