We learn from the Cleveland Herald that on last Tuesday week. Gen. Lewis Cass Gen Afun we shall hereafter write him arrived a Cleveland and was received with civil aud mil itarv honors. He was escorted to the New England House, and upon the balcony introdu ced to the people jn front, by Reuben Wpod, ate chief justice of Ohio. Judge Wood, having briefly and pertinently presented the Presidential Candidate to the people, apd tendered to him the hospitalities of the cty, turned to the nominee, and thus frankly and pojntedly addressed him: "Sir, permit me on this occasion to call your attention to the fact that our political opponents declare that you are opposed to the improvements of our Western River and Harfyors; and that we have always met this declaition with the assurance that Gen. Lewis Cass, as a Western reap, was fully identified with the interests of the West, and could not be opposed to the improvements so much neglected Dy the people, otthe West, and of the whole country." " "It may not be improper for me, sir, to allude to one more topic, which is, especially to this immediate district, a topic of the deepest interest I refer to the institution of slavery. We are told, sir, f Aar should xoa secure the elec tion to the Presidency of the United States, your administration vould lend its influence to the extension and perpetuation of human tlaxery. fTbe people here assembled will with the greatest pleasure now listen to any communi cation which, sir, it may be jour pleasure to sub nut. To the charges, thus publicly repeated, and by a distinguished political friend, Gen. Cass responded as follows: 'Sir, the nqise and confusion which pervades this assembly will prevent my being heard on the important topics to which you have called my attention. i must therefore content myself with thanking yo'u for the generous reception which 1, the vnvorthy representative oi " the great democratic party of the country, hare received at your hands. "1 hope you have all read the letter which 1 addressed to the National Democratic Conven tion, declared that to be the close of my pol itxeal profusion. Well may the Cincinnati Gazette exclaim, t what a publjc exhibition was this!" A can didate for the Presidency is arraigned before the people, by the late chief justice. You, sir, are charged with being opposed to the improve ment of oar rivers and harbors. rYou, sir, are als charged with' being in far or of extending and perpetuating huraau slavery.'. V hat have you to say to these charges? The people wil now listen to you with pleasure. The accused answers: The circumstance that there is so much "noise and confusion' vill prevent my bAng heard! J hate closed my po liticql professions ! I fj5lt is believed by some of the more in tell ige nt of the democrats -thoee who can't no wa;supporthato)d black cockade federalist Louis Cass that Gen.'Taylor will get every State in the Union but twg Illinois and Tex as. Old Zach never lost a battle we know and as he peter surrenders, we calculate the jig i pretty nigh up with the loco loco party Like tfie 'coon the locoi bad better come down at once. Ä MusiricEJfCE.

'

ich we published

on yesterday is extremely interesting, at least that from Ireland. The conviction of Mitch ell, the editor of the United Irishman, and the inhuman punishment inflicted on him, are proof that freedom exists in Ireland at least only in name. Mitchell himself spoke the truth, when he said, long since,' that, in Ireland, they were all "slaves.' Thank God, we do know what freedom is, in the United States, where no ingenuity or -tyranny of rulers can torture even the license of speech and the press into elony. The case of Mitchell is an atrocity, says the North American, un worthy not merely of England, but of the age. Fourteen years' incarcer ation, among felons, in a dockyard bulk st Ber muda (it was only his broken health, it appears, which prevented his being sent to that horrible place of exile, Norfolk Island, the Botany Bay of Bota ny Bay;') and ajhbecause he wrote and published certain articles in his paper, inflammatory incendiary, seditiousit is of no consequence wliat their character re ally was. They were nothing b .tter or wprse than articles in a newspaper; for which articles he is convicted of treason, and punished as a traitor. Words, then, are treason in Ireland! and for words-angry or fooljgh, but still words words not hidden away in darkness, but spread abroad in sunshine, tobe read and judg ed by a whole people, words that conceal neither the plot of the conspirator nor the dag ger of the regicide; for such words, a respects ble mau, not guilty, otherwise, of any wrong ful act, may, in Ireland, be torn from society and the bosom of his family, to be sent away to the burning banishment of Bermuda, there to be chained vilely down, for fourteen years, among caitiff convicts robbers, incendiaries and assassins, felons of the worst class, and himself ranked among the worst of them! There is no such treason as that in America; and if there were there would be no such pun ishment for it. The British Ministry representing a ha ugh ty arjatpcracy, the people no longer, pride themselves on their energy; and, doubtless, think that in this overwhelming severe and in fimous punishment inflicted on Mitchell, they have struck a blow at sedition which crush it. Some blows paralyze; others conrulse. In our opinion this blow is of the latter kind; and instead of frightening the "traitors" of the two islands into submission, it will only ex asperate them, and many a popular mass with them, into a sterner and more determined re sistance. It is impossible a government can Nourish long, in this era of the world, which makes treason of words, and punishes such treason as the worst felony. Hexry M. Shreve. Thomas M'Nair. The Louisville Courier, in giving biographical rermniscenes of men distinguished for their influence on the early business pf the West, reers to the enterprizing character and services of Henry Shr,ere, of late engaged as Govern ment snag-puller, on the Lower Mississippi and some of its branches. Among other things we notice the following: "In 1810. he opened a new Win. I? determined to enter into competition with British traders, among the Indians, for lead and furs. On the 2d of May, 1810, he left St. Louis lor rever river, in a new barge of thirty-five tons burthen, manned by twelve men, and oaded with an assorted carzo. He was four. teea days in reaching the spot where Galena now stands, lie traded with the Indiana until the lt of July, and had bought of them sixty ions oj ieaa, to transport which he had to build a flatboat. and buv a Mackinaw boat, and with this flat he reached St. Louis in twelve days, and thus opened the American lead trade in the Upper Mississippi. He look his cargo to New .Orleans, and shipped it to Philadelphia, realizing 811,000 from his tiafHc. The trade thus opened by Captain Shreve, now amounts to S3,UW,UUU annually." We have heard Thomas M'Xcir. fformerlv of the Portage," near this city, aud who died near Mineral foint last spruiz.l relate the par ticulars of his second trip to this recion of tuuuiry. ne came up wiin a Mackinaw Doat . tt mm . . v . ivau vi vtuisKj, wnicn was an disposed Ol to k t 1 : - r..t i" jviaii!5, tiding uri uuuucjue, 111 exenange for Lead. He said the poor creatures appeared to be perfectly crazy for the whiskr. Aa soon as they landed at the ludian town about a mile below where the present town of Dubuque now stands, the boat was literally besieged by men and women, who considered themselves excee dingly fortunate if they could get a flask of wnisaey lor a nundred or two pounds ot lead. The lead was furnished in round flakes of con siderable size, and by the time the cargo was disposed of, they had a whole cord of it piled ' M .1 i- II r . mi up. i ma was in me lall ot me rear, ine lead was left in thi care of the head chief, and the crew went on up the river some distance above Prairie du Chein, and during the winter mey cut pine timber, hewed it square, and by the time the spring opened, they had construct ed a large raft. Float ins it down to Dubuque . they covered it with flakes of lead, and took it wi th their raft to St. Louis. It proved a profit able speculation. This was the commence ment of the lumber trade of the Upper Missis sippi. SposTAifEors Combustiok." The N. York at Globe, a Locofoco paper, makes the fallow iug prediction, and wo take great pleasure in fully concurring with our democratic friend: "Gen Taylor attempts to deceive no one. He has made no pledges to win rotes, and though we cannot support him, unless we are made more fully acqoaiuted with his views; yet we hare no hesitation to declare our opinion to be, that if thecontest is between Taylor and Cass, the former will receive nine-tenhs of the electo ral rotes of the Union.

HENRY CLAY AND GENERAL TAYLOR.) The extreme length and importance of -our report of the proceedings ot the Convention, in its last day's session, made too extensive an inroad upon our columns to allow any thing more than a very cursory sketch of affairs at the great Ratification Meeting which, besides, was continued into too late an hour of the night to permit the proper opportunity for a detailed report next morning. Many able speakers succeeded each other upon the three stands, and many fine speeches were delivered which we should bare been glad to lay before the public had it been possible. Vt were obliged to hold over even the following speech from the lips of General Leslie Combs, so pe culiarly interesting, as coming from him, the deeply devoted, ever trusted and ever faithful friend pf Hesrt Clav, speaking hat would naturally be considered Mr. Clay's own tentimentsin regard to the nomination of General Taylor, and so striking for the beauty and pathos of those remarks relating to Mr. Clay, which went to the very hearts of his auditors. Gallo nt, indeed, is the stg not "pogr'' but "fc:quctered. "That from the hunter's aim has ta'en a hurt1 mar)" a hurt, in fact f deep and envenomed wo ids, inflicted by the arrows of slander and the fangs of party blood-hounds and has fled to the refuge of Ashland, to repose in peace, not to .languish;" for this is the stag with the lion-heart which never failed before an enemy, and the proud antlers that were always ready to turn at bay. No; the metaphor is only true so far as jt expresses the many, the continued, the rancorous persecutions which has followed the great statesman, during a long life of the most active and devoted public service. We will not say that the republic has been un grateful to Henry Clay, because the vast major ity of the intelligence and virtue of the coun try follows him to his retreat with the pro found respect and affection which have ever been accorded to him; but it is (riie that, in the whole history of the JJuited States, no mau has ererserred his country so faithfully, who has been the object of political animosity so unjust, so bitter, and so undying. But we have no space this morning, crowd ed as our columns are with the foreign news, to expatiate upon this theme: nor even to speaks, as we intended to do, and shall do of ten hereafter, on the character and merits of General Taylor. Let General Combs speaks for us, in that brief speech, the utterance of a warm heart, in which the tenderness of friend ship mingles so well with the self-sacrificing generosity of a true Whig spirit. General Combs succeeded Mr. Maxwell on the stand, and being introduced to the meeting as "the long-tried and trusted friend of Henry Clay," was received with deafening si outs. Gen. Comrs said, he had come from a sick bed, at the request of the committee and in obedience to his own sense of duty, to say a few words on this occasion. He would not deserve such credit for any thing he might utier, ii ne aia not iranmy avow.tnat me result to which the convention bad come sorely bruis ed his heart. From earliest infancy he had learned to lisp with gratitude and pride the name of Henry Clay, and had ever since been his near neighbor. Since 182-1, when his name was, for the first time, presented for the Presidency, he had preferred him to any and all other men in America, ana naa never, lor a moment, faltered in his support. His great abilities, long experience in public affairs, his pure patriotism ana wise statesmanship recommended him to all men; but he had been more vilelv slandered and basely abused than any public man in the United States; and Gen. (1 had desired so see the verdict of the people emphatically recorded agaiust bis cowardly as sailants. Gen. C. remarked; that he had no difficulty or hesitation in taking his position in support of th nominations just made. (Loud ap plause.) IN or did he doubt what Air. Clay would do. He had never thought of himselj but of Ais country. The lightning's flah which this day bore the tidings ot what you have done to every quarter of the Union, found the Sage of Ashland calm and composed, and at this very hour, Gen. C. doubted not, he was sleeping soundly under his own beloved roof, having first offered up a prayer for his country and the great Whig cause. Oh! if ruu had seen him as I hare seen him beard him as I have heard him when pressed by unrelenting enemies and grieved by ungratetul friends you would not wonder at my deep devotion to him. Uldas he was, he avowed himself not too old to vindicate his princiciples to stand by his friend, or to defend himself; he is ttie same brave and great-hearted ir !- .:ii iicury way buu. frallant old stag! you hare long been coursed by the hunters and the bounds through brake and brier, and hare, at last, returned to your ancient lair, to lay your yourself down and die. A nation's tesrs shall bedew you: grave a nation's heart shall rear a lasting mouuroent to your memory. History, at least, will do you justice. Gen. C. then remarked that he badlongknown Gen. Tar lor. He had distinguished himself in 1812, while only a Captain, by his gallant defence of Fort Harrison, on the western frontier; and his late great victories in the Mexican war had only fulfilled the high promises of bis early manhood. He was honest and true as he was bra verandas he had never been vanquished in battle, so would he never betray a trust reposed in him. He knew that the personal relations between him and Mr. Clay had ever been most kind and friendly; and if old Virginia would now leave thadark regions of Locotocoism and stand by her gallantson, and if Georgia and Louisiana and other Southern States would wheel into the Whig line in support of . ft . i ii . .. . meir iavoriie candidate, ne wouiu rejoice most sincerely. Let Pennsylvania do her duty, and she need not fear for Kentucky. Although II. Clay was her first choice agains the world yet shebad ever been a WbigState, and would stand by any good Whig. He doubted not that the Hero of Buena Vista would sweep over her mountains' and valleys, and fertile plains, next Noveirjber, like a whirlwind, and roll up thousands of majori ty'againsten Cass, the hero of Hull's surrender. " Gen Combs closed his brief rernarkj amidst the defending shouts of tens of thousands, and when he turned round, exhausted, several gentlemen near him caught him in their arms, and

complimented him upon and noble spirit. The gh sentiments y felt were the right sentiments, and this th e spirit with which all Whigs should the campaign and the support of Gen. Tay General Taylor ScRROcsDEo.-tThe fol lowing clever specimen of playful narrative is furnished by a correspondent of the New Or leans Picayune: Iberville, May 25,1833. The good people of Iberville have been in an excitement for some days, created by an un expected visit from Gen. Taylor, he having . . ii- C promised to can on some ui ms numerous friends in that parish and partake of their hos pitality. Quietlr and unheralded, accompa nied by D. D. Avery, Esq., he presented bim sen yesterday at noon, (luesctay,) at me residence of J. N. Brown, Esq., where ha partook of a sumptuous dinner, and then proceeded to the bouse of a warm personal mend, iOi. is. A. Stewart, where he established himself for the day. The general was in remarkably fine spirits, and since he has thrown aside the militarr dress and come out in a new suit of black, it seems as if he had turned back the wheels of time and stricken the marks of ten years from his capacious brow. It so happened that on the very evening of the arrival of Gen. Taylor at Col. Stewart s the beautiful residence of Mr. Simon Le Blanc was lighted up until it seemed one blaze of Ugm, ana wimin its precincis were neara vue sound of revelry. The patriarchs youngest daughter had a few hours before stood at the bridal altar, and hundreds of relatives and frien!s were joyously celebrating the erent. The rumor went through the crowd that uenerai layior naa arrrirea in me neignDorhood. The beautiful brie, the troup of bride's maids, the whole circle of Louisiana's fa j rest daughters that graced the festive scene, re peated the honored name, while the gentlemen more boisterous! gave vent to their feelings ofadmiratiou. In a few moments the ladies formed a ptan to "capture the old hero". They felt confident that they could do what Santa Anna and twenty thousand picked troops could not. Three lovely young ladies were at once organized in a powerful army, supported by several gentlemen. The affair was entirely successful; the light artillery got on the gallery of the house unper ceired, as it was raining very hard at the time and boldly entering the sally port, carried old ack in hlteen seconds. At the time he was firmly seated in a large red backed arm-chair, Col. Steward supporting him on the right, his accomplished lady on the left, The general on the first attack attempted to manoeuvre, but it was a total failure; the ditch was on the wrong side, and the first discharge of a little more grape of bright eyes set him fluttering, and with a few random shots he surrendered at discretion long before the hea vy artillery in the rear was brought into ac tion. Old Zach, however, displayed consider able presence of mind even under the novel position of a defeat, and capitulated that he should ride to the wedding in the carriage with his . cap-rira-tors, and be treated otherwise with all the considerations of honorable warfare. Gen. Taylor was instantly hurried off for fear of a rescue, as there were large forces of the enemy hovering about, all anxious to get him in their possession. He acted in a most resigned manner throughout, and as far as ws could judge, shewed a Tittle of La Vega'a spirit, being rather pleased with his place of imprisonment. On arriving at Mr, Le Blanc's he was con ducted with due ceremonv into the crowded rooms. A buzz of excitement followed, and when the old general has seen, the waiving of fair hands aud loud shouts of welcome Gen. Taylor, followed; a "bridal favor" was imme diately printed o.i his right shoulder and another imprinted on his lips, aud he became the observed of all observers. The General was literally crushed under favors; he however maintained his position. It would be impossible for us to detail all the interesting incidents of the occassou, and perhaps it would not be proper for us to notice that the little grandson of Mr. Simon Le Blanc who rejoices in the winning name of Zachary Taylor, was plased in the old general's arms, he prophecying that it was bound to be a general some of these days. "REFORM IN TRAD1!" Fiom anatticle by II. Greely, upon the subject ol a Reform in Trade, to be brought about by Adtzrtiung, we select the following forcible and appropriate rematks: The means by which this great and beneflcient change is to be effected are various, but the chief among them are advkbtisino not in two or three pipers, nor even in ill those of the City where the business is done; but in the most widely circulated journals of the whole region whence custom is desired. Nothing has yet been done in the wsy of Advertising compared with what can and inevitable will be. No merchant who knows how to advertise (for money may bo thrown away in this as in anything else) ever need sell lees than he choose alwavs provided (bat his fabrics are desirable, of good quality, aud sold as cheaply as others will aflord them. There is no assignable limit to the application of this principle Here is a merchant whose very existence is known lo fifty thousand people at most, and he sells just enough to live by; suppose he could make his business as well known to a million persons, why should he ' not sell something near fifty limes as much as he now does? And then, if he could introduce himself lo the whole twenty millions composing 'our People why not have a corresponding increase of business? Of course, we appreciate the limitations of this principle that it is idle and a waste for'any seller to advertise bis wares in a section which can more advantageously pioduce such, wäre. for itself or obtain them from .some 'other quarter; this should teach discrimination and circumspection in Advertising,butiht annual imports argqe f hat the goods consumed by ten millions of people are purchased in ' this city; and no merchant has advertised thoroughly uqtil he hap rnade himself known to those who purchase here for the confurnpuon'of these Ten Millions. Every new cash customer secured, increases his ability to buy in large quantities and sell at lower rates, so that ultimately he might afford lo sell cheaper than he can buy at present And the merchant who has a reasonable amount

of capital and his business in a good shape,

can ftr better afford to advertise to the amount of $10,0(0 a year than any less sum. He cannot throw away money in this wny.as he can in buying a new stock or in selling on credit. "There is no friendship in trade;" and the buyer will trade with a stranger in . i i a i :rt- .i t prelerence to ms uromer, u ne can mus outain a supply one per cent, cheaper. It may De SSia mat we arc luiercsteu in this matter and so we are; though we generailv have more advertisements than we can niihlih often a meat manv more. Had we still more, we should be compelled to en large or print supplements at a heavy ex Dense, to ffive place to - them though we should still welcome and hope to profit by them. But we are concerned to see busin ess conducted on sound and economical prin ciples, so that consumers and producers shall be brought together on the most advautageous terms; and this is to be eUected by sucn a concentration of trade as ouly Universal Advertisements can secure. Those who take hold of this mighty engine at an early day and wield it with judgement and decision vill make vast fortunes; while those who ueglec; it will see their business dwindle away and perish. On the 18th, in the city of Mexico, Capt. Samuel Head, of the Kentucky brigade, was married to Senorita Micaelita Villa Lo bes. The kqot (says Chappiralx of the Cresceni) was tied by Parson (Joss, chaplain of the Kentucky brigade. Ihegul is about fourteen years ol J, handsome, and apparent ly intelligent. She cannot speak English nor read Spanish, and i; has not yet been decided which shall be the language learned. It is customary in this country for the bridegroom to take the bride to his own house on the night of mirriage, which bouse he has to furnish, as well as every stitch ofcloihing she wears on the night of marriage. About 12 o'clock st night, the hour for separating, Sam musted together epough Spanish for "let us go,"and tapping her on the shoulder,gave the well known ' vamous," and taking her under his arm led her off to the Lafayette, though she seemed reluctant to leave her rmmrna. I asked Sam the next morning how be managed to get along without speaking the language. He answered that they soon understood one another, and that there was an eye and lip language, as universally known as music. About the same time and in the same city, William posier, ol Philadelphia, was married to Senorita Rufina Victoria CJonzales, of San Luis Potosi. The Stsr says that the road to matrimony has thus been opened, and unless the Yankees are moved soon, it will be well followed. pRoriT and Loss View or Repeal. The London Times has a very fierce article on Ireland and the Repeal quest ion, from which we extract the fjllowing: England could afford to lose Ireland. Such a loss might, indeed, involve an immediate and temporary damage to her prestige. Foreign nations might misunderstand our purpose and predicament. But we know and feel that our national loss the sum total of loss sqstainedby England would be nothing. We should part with the sore and gangrened part of the empire. The empire itself would survive sound and whole But Ireland herself, how would she fare? Barred forevermore from all share, title, and interest to and in every element of British greatness, every source of British affluence, aud every symbol of British sovereignty, on her would fall the curse of feeding in inter necine struggle of domestic faction, bleed ing beneath the continuous wound ofagrari an outrage. . The overplus of her poor high born or olw born, of Saxon or Celtic blood would be absorbed back into the muddy and" turbulent whirlpool of a conflicting but long desired Provincialism. She would shrink at once into herself, a petty island, torn by the fierce fueds of partisans who only wete not venal becauss there was none 10 buy them, and the hungry struggles of wretched peasants who had no landlord to oppress them because their republic bad abolished property in its inauguration. A Good 'Un. -A correspondent of the Nashville Banner, tells the following &oc&ing s lory Hills AMD Hollows" Snncitrco AF FAIR 7 Are Men Struck by Lightening, 1 nave just heard ol a shocking affair which occurred in an adjoining county last week. Whilst communicatious were passing along on the telegraph wire it broke near a blackSmith's shop, A person standing near by ran to the shop, and the smith hurried off 10 repair damages. Whilst thus engaged, the electricity came along, and so atFected his nerves to prevent him from releasing bis hold upon the wire. Seeing the difficulty the smith was in, aud anxious to release him, fearing also lo take hold of Mm, his friend seizd the wire with a pair of tongs and found himself Uo fastened to his posiiioti in com pany with his friend. A third person Iben inteifered, and found himself in the same predicament, and the trio were not released until the electricity ceased its operations. But the most remarkable ibing about it was lhat when the affair was over, it was found. lull their feet as they danced about had written in the sand the name of old -Rough and Ready."
