Towards the latter part of the summer of 18-10, a lad cf. prepossessing appear ance entered the beautiful town of G---, situated at the foot of S,eueca Lake, New York, near the centre of the State. He had traveled from the: , evetern part of Ohio, where his father a widower, had died from one of those :maliznant fevers so common in newly made countries, while overseeing the cultivation 'of a large tract of/land, in order to regain a fortune lost during the disastrous specWatioas of 1836. Being an only son and left among strangers at the death of his father, George Wentworth resolved to leave Ohio, and remove to the State of New York for the purpose. of trying his fortune, in'any manner that chance might offer. He had passed through several towns and villages on his route without meeting with' anything to attract his attention, until reaching G—. This tine town, with its lovely lake and fine scenery struck his fancy ; so he determined , to obtain employment if possible, and make it' his future home. I While walking along the principal street of the shady avenue overlooking the lake on which were located several fine churches and other public buildings, be saw! a large crowd of people assembled around a newly ;erected liberty pole, in front of one of the principal hotels. On approaching the spot, he found it a pub lic meeting, held for Vic; purpose of raising the pole and making party . speeches. ' Our hero forced his NvCy into the crowd just as they were raising the "Stars and Stripes," with the names of their candi dates to the top of the flag staff. The flag liad scarcely r6ached half way; the enthusiasm being at its height, when the Cord twisted and caught in the, little wheel at the top. They pulled and tried every way, but were unable to raise or lower the flag a single-iuch. The excite ment and Cheeriog teas d and all eyes were turned, to the half-m ) asted flag. A' portion of the opposition party, who were grouped a little in the rear' of the 'maim body, began to jeer and joke ahout the apparently bad omen, to the evident dis comfiture . of their opponents. - At length Judge S—, editor and publishervf the G— Journal, then , a candidate for Congress, offered fifty dol lars to the person who would climb the staff and:draw the cord through the wheel. The - utmost silence reigned for seferal minutes; but no one advanced to .make the daring trial. "Will no one volunteer ?" shouted the Judge, strongly excited as a peal of laugh ter *eat up from the ranks of the oppo sition. - - • - The c - A . ltel•le had scarcely died away, however, ;before GeSorge, with his cap and shoes off,'-stepped before the Judge, and with 'a confident -look exclaimed • "Yes, sit-, I'll climb it !" "You, my, lad, are you strong enough?" "Oh, yes, sir; I am used 'to climb ing." • "Then go ahead, my little Spartan," said the Judge, at the same time giving ,him an encouraging =pat upon the Shoul der. , Steadily,- hand over hand, feet clutching the pole in'a mannerthat proved hinl,to be an expert climber, Georgsmade his way to the very top of the staff which was so slender that it swayed to and fro with his weight. Nothing daunte'd, he wound his less 3 right and left around the pole, and with his right hand untWisted the cord. Shouting fearlessly to 'those . . , , • I ..1 ' ".

The cheers that now rent the air were terrific—everybody, opposition and all, joining in with s atie universal shout. - After the excitement had . semewhat subsided, Judge S— looked upon the boy with admiration, and took out his pocket book to pay the promised re ward. . _ George, noticed the action and'exclaim ed4. "Keep your money, sir, I,want no pay for helpigg to raise an American flag." "Nobly-said, my little man.-; what is your name ! inquired the Judge.- "George Wentworth, sir; I am an or. plian t and just arrrived here in - search of employment," replied our hero; his bright eyes glisteuing with a tear. . "Well, • you- shall live -with ,toc,'! ex. claimed the Judge: "Pll take care of you for the future." Five . years have passed away since George Wentworth: had been a member . of his benefactor's family. In_ the mean time Juke S= had been defeated by his political opponent, and George had been initiated into the mysteties of the "Art of Arts." He had become a mat favorite with the citizens, and-was looked upon as the adopted son of the Judge.l--- liewas whispered in private circles that he was to be the envied husband of the beautiful and - accomplished Ida, the Judge's only daughter. But this George bad not dared to dream of; 'tis true he never felt so happy as when in :her pres ence, and it did make him twitch to see the foppish students from the college swarm around the unacknowledged idol of his heart. Poor youth ! bad he known the real state of Ida's feeling the thought would have almost turned his brain; and could he have interpreted the gleam of joy that fished' ,from her. eye .when he uttered a noble sentiment or sally of wit, it would have filled his soul with extacy and delight.. One fine day in the tatter part of June, Ida,iher father and George, were enjoy ing a sail on the lake in their; trim little yacht, the Swan—which woo the cup at the, last regatta, under the management of our hero, who was standing with his hand on the mast gazing at the beautiful scenery on the opposite shore ; the Judge held the tiller and,lda was leaning over the side of the boat trailing !her pretty hand through the clear water of the lake, when a - sudden gust of wind carreened the yacht so that' she lost her balance and Toll into the water. George ficar i d the splash wade by Ida, and before flie Judge could. utter a crv, he had_kicked off his light summer shoes and' plunged in to her rescue. Being a skillful and vigorous swimmer, he came up with ,the struggling girl before her clothes allowed her to sick, and entwining h©r waist with his left Itrin, struck out with his ricrlit, and kept her above water till the `Judge turned the boat and came-to their. relief. In a few moments they were safe in the boat again, and Ida soon. recoveral from \tis, the effects of her unexpected bath The old Judge embraced George an ex claimed '. with tears starting from his eyes : ‘fGod`bl - s you, my dear boy, You have saved my daughter's life, how can I ever repay 'you ?" "By saying nothing about it," replied George. "I owe you now a thousand times more than I can ever repay, and am too happy in being able torender this slight .service." The lovely Ida could say nothing, ,her heart was overflowing, but she gazed' on her preserver with an expression which told volumes. Her father. observed her earnest, loving glance, and began to gtiess the true state of affairs. He was not ii?epared for• it, and in silence he turned the boat toward the shore. They reached home with feeling's - far different from those they had started With. The following morning,. George re ceived a note to meet the, Jud g e in his library. His heart beat wildiy—what can it mean.? The Judge bad determined to put him to a severe• test. As soon as Gcorge en tered the library- he commenced : "Since becoming an inmate of my fam ily, George you have conducted yourself in an honorable and worthy :Manlier per forming every;duty cheerfully,' and neg lecting none. You are now of age, and capable of doing bnsinees for; yourself. - I hint placed - 5000 in the bank at your disposal, yba can - use :this sum •as you think. proper, or let it remain; on interest, or you can take. charge of any office under a salary of fifteen hundred dollars a year. In either case you must leav my house for the present. What- do you think of my proposal ?" George was completely bewildered and stammered Mph a request to be allowed a few hours for consideration: This be ing, granted, he repaired ,to his rooom and threw himselton the bed in a - paroxysm - - De6ofea to Oa fsi•ilizipiis of.

Could the Judge.have guessed whati, he himself had hardly dared to hope?, What right - bad he to his benefactor's daughter and fortune ? None! He would! smother his feelings, and earn an honord-, ble living by his own exertions. Vnrions was the rumors set afloat by the scandal mongers of as to the cause of young Wentworth's leiving his patron's mansion, but their' inuendoes' were unheeded. His brow wore a more; thoughtful expression, add his cheeks. were paler. The Judge acted toward, him in a straightforward, frank manner, yet never addressed him ;n the kind, fatherly tones as had been -his wont be fore the incident that °ceased on the lake. If he chanced to meet Ida in his walks, a friendly nod was all that passed ; still she felt that his looks betrayed him, for' the-warm blood gushed from -his loving heart and tinted his cheek with the tell tale blush, and he cherished the pleasing thoughts that her looks were beaming, with love and hope. A little More than a, year had parsed from the time George had left the home of tho.sa he loved, It was the-eve of an-, other election. Excitement , ran high; and Judge S— ; was again a candidate for Congress. For several weeks a series of ably, written articles had appeared id, the Judge's paper. They were addressed to all' classes—farmers, Mechanics, and laborers. The orignal and vigorous style, clear convincing arguments, deep awn prufound reasoning of these articles, inva riably carried conviction to the parties fp, whom they werel addressed. All , the newspapers of the party of that Cougres,-1 sional district copied them, and curiosity I was on tiptoe to discover the author, as' they were simply signed by two little * The election passed off, and Judge S— was elected by a large niajoriv.. Late one night, while Ida and her fatli-.1 er were returning from a party given in honor of his election, they observed a light in the printing office. As the es- I tablirhruent was usually closed at twi light, it appeared strange that it should , be lit un acthat hour, so the Judge de terinineil to learn the cause., Requesting' his daughter to accompany him; they walked up stairs and quietly entered the office. A sight met their gaze which caused the heart of one of them to leap violently. At the desk, a short distance from the door, sat George, fast asleep, withliis head resting on his arm. As Ida's father stepped forward to awaken the sleeper, ho observed a politi cal essay lying open on the desk, and 'a freshly written article with the mysteri ous * * attached. The truth flashed up on the Judge in a moment-,-he wala in-, debted to George for success ! He beck oned to Ida, who came trembling to his side. Just then they raw by the flicker ing lamp a smile pass (her the slumber er's face, and he uttered the words "dear Ida," in a tender tone. "Oh, father exclaithed - the loving girl :affectionately, throwing her arms around him, "do let George come home again. It is surely no sin for him to loye rue.' Awakened by the sound of Ida's voice, George looked around confused, and as he Eau' Ida and her father, he endeavored to hide the manuscript. But the Judge stopped him, laughing, saying : "It won't do, young rascal ! you are fairly caught, found out—talk in your sleep, will you ?, ha ! but here, take Ida, and be happy I know she loves you.— Ha I ha !" George was bewildered and transported -•—he ba been awakened from a pleasant dream to alright reality. Matters were soon. explained, and the warm-hearted Judge, after blessing them both, promised to see them married be fore he started for Virashingtob.

In the midst i of unprecedented,political fron 'hies, we have cause of great gratitude to i God, for unusual good health and .most abnadarit harvests. l' Yen ivill not ' surprised to 'learn thet, in be the peculiar exigencies of the times, our inter- Course with fdreign nations has been attended with profound' solicitude, chiefly turning npon our own domestic affairs. A disloyal pnrtion of the Arrican people have, during the whole year, been engaged 4n an attempt to ;divide and destroy the Union. Arnation 'which en dures factious, domestic divisions is ex - Posed to disrespect 'abroad, land one party, if not both, is sere,, sooner or later,, to invoice for eign intervention. Nations 'thus terapttd to interfere are not Eqsvays able to resis the l i counsels of seeming expediency and nu ever= (ins ambition, although measures adonis un der such influences seldom fall to be unfor tunate and injurious to those adopting them. The disloyal citixens'of the United St.ate, who have offered the ruin 'of our country in return for the aid ann comfort which they hare in voked abroad, have received less patronage and encouragement than they probably ex pected. If it were just to suppose, as the in surgents have seemed to assume, that fOreign nations in this case' discarding all moral, so cial, and treaty obligations, would act l isolely and selfishly for the Most speedy restoration of commerce; including, especially, the acqni sition of cotton, those - nations appear, as yet not to have seen their way to their bject more directly or clearly through the d 'strut tion than through the preservation of the Union. If we could dare to believe' tht for eign nations fare actuated by no higher prin ciple than this, I alu quite sure a second az gument could be mad- to show then' that they can reach their aim more readily and easily by aiding to crush ,this rebellibit than by giving encouragement to it. ' The principal lever relied on by the' insurgents for exciting, foreign nations to hostility against us as al ready intimated, is the embarrassment 9 f com merce. Tlidse nations, however, not improll- I ably saw from the . first that, it was thefinion I - which madeas well our, foreign as our domes 'tic commerce. They can scarcely hav failed Ito perceive that tile effort for disunion pro duces ,the existing difficulty, andat one ; I strong nation promises more durable peace, ani a more extensive, valuable, and eliable commerce, thew can the same nation broken into hostile Jra,giments. , It is not my purpose to review our iscus sio'ns with foreign States, because, whatever might be the wishes or dispositions, the .in tegrity of our country and the stability of our Government mainly depend, not upon them, but on the loYalty, virtue, patriotisin, and in telligence of the A merica n'people.

Kentucky will, no doubt, co-operate, and through her Legislature,' make the Most ju dicious eekction of a line.,. The horthern terminus must connect with some 'existing railroad, and whether the route shall be from Lexington or Nicholasville to the CuMberland Gap, or from Lebanon to the Tennessee line in the direction of Knoixville, or on some'still different line, can easily be determined.

Some treaties, - , designed chiefly for the in terests of„commerce, and havinglo grave politiCal 'importance, have been ne rotiated, and will be submitted to the Senate for their consideration. Although we have failed to I induce some of the commercial petrel's to adopt a desirable melioration of the rigor of maritime War, we have removed all ;obstruc tions from the Way; of this humane reform: except such as are .merely ;of temporary and accidental 'occurrence. I incite your attention to the correspondence between her Britanic Majesty's Minister, accredited to this Govern ment, and ;the Secretary of State, relative to the detention of the British ship Perthshire, in June last, by the United S'at4 ; steamer 3fassachuietts, for a supposed breach of the blockade. ; As this detention was,ocicasioned by an obvious Misapprehension of the facts, and as justice requires that; we should commil no belligerent act not founded in strict right as'sanctioned by ;public law, I recommend that an appropriation be made to !satisfy the reasonable demand of the Owners of the vessel for her detention.
