With out any further preface then, we : would ask the serious attention of our readers, tb the following extract from n late speech otfksav , CLAY, de livered at Memphis,. Tennessee. Let 'each one ask himself after reading, ie it not the Worst of infatuation to permit the country tb be plunged into still further _difficulty when the. inches of _ restoring.' prosperity : are so,obvious and'casily . . at tained?' Examine the remedy for "hard times," iind determine to .vote for its adoption.in 1844 4":11r. Clay proceeded to allude to the striking contrast exhibited in the past and present condi. tion of the country, and to state briefly the 'cause of the public distress and the proper means of re lief. The unsoundness and seardity of the cir, euluting Medium was a chief cause.of . the disas trous state of the country.. A. sound and suff cient circulating medium, one of uniform value at every poitit'of the Union, wits as essential to the budypolitie,ns a sound sufficient and unifOrm circulation or blood to the human body.. No more could the currency of the country be corrupted or unnaturally diminished and the country be pros perous, than could the blood of the human body be disordered and excessively diminished and the body continue in vigor and health. Corrupt tho currency and abstract one half` of it from cirenla- -lion, and nothing but pecuniary prostration and distress must follow. He' declared hiniSelf up. posed to the hard money doctrine. Hard money and hard times go together. Banks are unavoid able: • Sento of the States will have them, and the ethers must therefore do the sa me, or be-tributary fur their currency to those which have ve'them, and thus be subject to all their evils without enjoying any of tiler benefits. If there be local banks, a national Bank is indispensible—not the abortive, miscalled Bahlt of the United States of Pennsyl vania, powerless for good - and prolific of evil, b,rt an old fitshioncd, time-fried Bank of the Bilked' States—a.

Industry and Economy must be practised in all things—we must make more, and buy less—we must produce.at home, on our own llama and plantations more than we need consume—our wives and dhughters•must ply their own needles more, and employ the 'milliners less. Be not a larmed, my friends, be said, at the words I say— this is the 'American System—lndnstry and Econothy--make at home what we have been buying abroad--and in that way we .will get out of debt, and keep no and keep our money. A moderato and reasonable tariff walall he ever de sired—one sufficient to stimulate and sustain our 'own American, domestic• industry and economy. Stability and uniformity were the great necessi ties of the systeiff. It should be equal and uni form in its operations oh the great interests of the country."' _ . The Contet—No Hanger: Cr This "celestial stranger," is attracting much attention.all,over the country ; and so many minds arc engaged in its observation and investigation, that an account descriptive of it may he expected at an early day. On one subject connected with the appearadee or Comets, Protimshr OLMSTEAD speaks us follows—from which we infer that there is no danger that. the present or any future Comet will "set the world on fire:" ' "As to the dangers to be apprehended from the collision of the earth with a cornet, it may, in the first place, be shown that the chance that a cornet will Strike the earth is almost infinitely small; and, even if it should meet .us, the body ls SO mw that it could not-penetrate the atmosphere. ,Such a collision might perhupe cruise a splendid meteoric shower. • It is true, it might also disturb the at mospheric equilibrium; causing destructive tem pests; and the matter .of the comet might possi bly vitiate the air so as to make it unfit for respir ation. But there is no necessity to look so for for dangers; . they surround u-v on every side, and threaten us every day of oitr lives, from even the most insignificant causes. Throtighout the econo my of nature all powers are so balanced that each keeps the other in MINA ; for instunte, heat rind cold have-been far ages idruggling with each oth er, but neither has so far gained the mastery as to render the globe uninhabitable:: Cornets obey laws which have been hi operation fat thousands of years, and no Mistake has hitherto been occa. sioned by one of Ahem. It is reasonable to pre sume that they will continue to move on bar moniously.

The mass of the'peo. ple may not be aware that predictions of this kind are no new thing, and that Mr. Miller can lay no clam to originality in the idea by which his'own mind is misled, -(admitting him to be sincere,) and with which he is likely to delude Many others.. Indeed, Mr. Miller is by far the ,most ignorant of those who have yet taken up i 'this subjek and presumed to'unveil the mysteries' kif the future. The profoundest minds—the most gifted „and brilliant intellects of former ages— have foolishly'essayed ,the task Of "finding out GOD," and after years of toil upori 'their calcula• tions ofthe duration of tho world, and, the prime of their live; wasted in determining the day of its destruction, the world still rolls on, proving how vain . are all Man'sttempts to discover that which has 'been wisely • ivTailield from him;'and how puny, is his intellect when it would impiously aspiri3 to the prescience of Infinite Wisdom! We have collected from various sources notices of delusions with respect to the end of the world, which have heretofore, at different periodi since the Christian era, disturbed the popular mind in different countries ;. they may Prove, of interest at this time, and, where they aro road, may assist in, checking , the • progress of 11,1 act. ism . '.The Most 'remarkable of these is the prediction of Sir John Napier, which will be found among those sub. joined. In the l- 45lys of Ortgen; Egypt was IthrO t wn into com ion liy the -anticipated return otchrist . to the earth, to establish his 'Weida! reign. This commotion caused many to reject the Apocalypse of John from the sacred canon, the millenarians having built their belief upon the 520th chapter of this book. . • Again in Germany, In the time .of Luther, the petoluitry were carried away with the same opin ion of the approaching advent of Christ, and his personal rc!gn upon the earth. Every stndent of hisfory knows,. what troubles, originated from this source, and what grief these fanatical notions gave to Luther and the other Reformers. • /a later day's, Edward Irving revived the same notion respecting the Alillenial reign and second advent of Christ; and lived in daily expectation of the glorious Epiphany. It was extensively believed in the 10th century that the world woOld.terminate at the mid" of the thousandth yearafter the birth ofehrist. About the yeir..oso,ifs the expected period drew high, Bern. intrd,_a_harmitof Thuriogiarboldly—promulgatcd the certain' assurance that at the end of the tkou sandth year, the fetters of Satan should be brolten, Antichrist should come, and the conflagaratioln of the world follow. The clergy adopted this doe. trine without delay; the pulpits resounded with it; and it was ditlbscd with astonishing rapidity, and embraced with ardor. Prodigious numbers f_parile_alnindouing their friends_and_Einilies_ and -earthly possessions, repaired with procipita. thin- to rulestine, where they' imagined Christ would descend again from heaven, establish his throne on Mount Zion, and judge the world. And in order to Vender the Judge more propitious, they Mien 'made over their property to some adjacent elitireh or monastery, Others flevoted themselves by , solemn oath to the services of the' churches , ' convents, and priesthood, whose slaves they tic.' came . in the most rigorcrus . sense of the word, per forming daily their heavy tasks.. When an eclipse _ef_th.c._sun_oL_rnnon_ceiturredrilie_cit e rode serted,and the miserable inhabitants betook them selves to rocks and caverns, as if these could pre serve them when all things should be dissolved.

Gen. Scott on Slavery. . The following letter from Gen. SCOTT, on Slav r ely, we copy from the Lancaster Union. It is written in reply to various interrogatories risk ing him his views oh the subject. It.will perhaps riot accord with the views of the ultra on either side of the question : • My Dear Sir-4 have been waiting for an eve ning's leisure to.givc,to your letter before ine• an answer, and after,art unreasonable delay, I sin, at last, obligmltoseply in the midst of official occu pations. That I ever have been named in connection with the Presidency of the United States, has not I can assure you, the son of an ancient neighbor and friend, been by any contrivance or desire of mine, and certainly I shall never be in the field, for that high office, unless placed there by 4 reg. ular nomination. Not, then, being a candidate, and'seeing no near piospect of being made one, I ought, • perhaps, to decline troubling you;or'Otti; ers, with my humble opinions on great principles of State-rights and Federal Administration; brit as I cannot plead ignorance of the partiality of few friends, in several 'pits of the' Union, who may, by possibility, in a certaili event, ioceced nr bringing me within the field rroin which a Whig candidate is to be selected—l prefer to err on the side or frankness .and candor, rather than, by si lence, to allow any stranger, unwittingly,io coni mit-himself to my, support, Your inquiries open the whole question of do mes. ;c slavery, which has, in different forms, for tr,; - ..:.bei of years, agitated Congress and the country. - • • Premising, that . you are tho,lirst person.who'r has interrogated me oil the subject, I give you, the basis of what tcouhrbe my reply, in greater detail, if time allowed, and the contingency al- Intled to above, were less remote., . In boyhood, at William,and Mary College, and in common with most, if not all my conipanions, I bccatne'deeply impressed with the'viewn gifen by Mr. Jefferson in his Noteq on Virginia, and by Judge Tucker in the appendix to his edition 'of Blackmtone's Coma:et - liar:es, in favor of a gradual rentancipation=of=akvery.:=';That=appeodirl=har not seen in thirty odd yearn, and, in the same pc, riot , have read t7E - 11 - eny ritft - hing on tliatTtibje - Cf, - but my early impressions arc fresh and unchang. cd.• Hence, if I had had thehonor of a se - 4 in the Virginia Legislature in the winter of 1831-fl, when a bill was brought ibrwnrd to carry out those views, I should certainly have given it my warty 'support. suppose 1 settreCtiy needs:lP, thci, in my opin. on, Congress has no color of authority, under he Constitution, for touching the relation, of inns• . . . ter and slave in a State. I hold the opposite opinion in respect to the District of Columbia. Here, with the consent of I ownerS, or on the payment_olust—componsa--H lion," Congress may legislate at its discretion.- But my conviction is equally strong that, unless it be step by step with the• Legislatufes of Vir. g,inia-and •Maryland, it would be dangerous to both races, in those States, to touch th e re hli on between master and slave within this District. I have, from the first, been of opinion that C 96. gress was boUnd by the Constitution to receive, to refer and to report upon• petitions relating to domestic slavery as in the case of all other peti tions; but I have not fitiled to see and to regret the unavoidable irritation which tho former •have produced in the Southern States, with the con. stiqueot peril to the two colors—whereby the adop. lion of•any plan of emancipation has,cvery where with OS, been greatly retarded. • I own, myself, no slave . ; but never have at tached blame to !nesters for net liberating their slaves—well knowing that liberation, without the means of sending them, without comfort; to some position favorable to "the pursuit of h[ippmess," would, in most cases, be highly injurious to all around, as well as to the manumitted, flunilies themselves—unless the operation were general and' under the auspices of prudent legislation.— But' I anilmrsuaded that it is'a high moral obli gation of masters and slave holding St..tes, to em: ploy all means, not incompatible with the safety of .both colors, to ameliorate slavery to extermi. nation. It is gratifying to know that general amelior. alion has been great, and ns Mill progressive, not withstanding the disturbing causes alluded to above. The more direct process of emancipation mayom doubt, be carliercommeneed and quick ened in some communities than in others: Each, I do not question, has the right to judge for it. self,-both as to the-time-mid-riians ;- and I con sider interference or aid, from without, except on, imitation from authority within, to be as hurtful to the sore progress of amelioration, as it may bo fatal' to the livCs of vast: 'multitudes of all ages, sexes and colors. The work of liberation canna bo forced without such horrid results. Christian philanthrophy is ever mild and considerate.— Hence all violence ought to be deprecated by the frianda_of rallg ion. and_ hrtmanity. Their persua. sions 'cannot fail, at the right time, to .free the master from the slave, and the slave from the master—perhaps before the latter shall have found out arid acknowledged that the relation between the parties had long been mutually prejudice! to their worldly interests.
