Acts of Parliament have but a very limited control over ibeenecuiive in that country. I feel disposed to confine the present m ivements ofmy pen to a very brief statement from ray own obscure history. I was a "free born Briton-" and according to to the law entitled to as (nil protection as any other or the subject or his majesty. But early in the morning of I4th April my houe was beset hy arme I dragoons my premises thoroughly searched by constables at.d military officers, my person was seized and convey -eJ to a room at some distance off in the town, and a guard set over me, but had nothing to eat. No reason was eiven for this near Mid day I understood, in an indirect w-.y. T must soon start for the County )M mi,e9"oflr. '1 then petitioned the author- ,,,, , allow me to g-Mi my ware-room Voider a military escort " migh sW.r a friend the plan on which y 'Rs wore kept; and added as an inducement that I bad then upwards or 200 workers who M ould be in a measure deprived of the Weans of support if no one would take charge of my business and or course many c.f them would become a bur Jen on the town at a time when the contributed funds were unable to upply those in need. But after a short consultation they informed me that on no condition cnild they grant my request. Berrc the sun set I had reached my destined lodgings. At first view I observed there was no glass in my room, neither bed or bedding, except some raw that as I ascertained afterwards, had been there Tor about three years; and was densly f inished wilh a population, as busy at noctuinsl depredations as ever were the little chemical constructors of the coral reefs. The llooi wasMilidfl.it stone. I mildly, and tenderly, BPp!ied to the head man of my guardians for a 'pp!y of straw or blankets. I staled that as I was a man of but a tender constitution and accustomed to good acc. mmodation. and bred to. eJiintary habits I cou'd not stand it long in Kit a situation if he should neglect to give; "ie some suitable protection. He rematked "at I must be put in chains and confined and Pot in a worse place if I should express the least discontent. So I resolved to make jne best of what I reckoned to be a hard lot.

Is it not somewhat degrading for such turn to attempt ti lower the privileges of our country in the comparison. This slight expose is made in justice to my adopted country.

POETRY.

From the Lomtemhry Ireland) Sentinel. THOUGHT AND DEED. BY CHAS. REXN KENNEDY. Full many alight thought man may cherish, Full many an idle deed may do; el not a deed or thought shall perishNot one but he ihall bless or rue. When by the wind the tree is shaken, There's not a bough or leaf can fall, But of its falling heed is taken By Osa who sees and governs all. The tree may fail and be forgotten, And buried in the earth remain;' Yet from its juices rank and rolten Springs vegetating life again. The woild is with creation teeming. And 111 thing ever wholly dies; And things that are destroyod in seeming, In other shapes and forms arise. And nature still unfolds the tissue Of unseen woiks by spirit wrought; And not a work but bath its issue With blessings or with evils ftought, And may'st seem to leave behind thee All memory of the sinful past; Yes oh, be sure, thy sin shall find thee, And thou shalt know its fums ut Ut. AN EXCELLENT WIFE. 'Tisa wife, w hose smiles of gladness Fall, like sunbeams on thy breast Scattering all thy clouds of sadness, Like the night shades to the west; And 'tis she, whose voice of pleasure Comes, like music, o'er thy heartComes a sweet and soothing measureJoy and quiet to impart. 'Tis a wife, whose arms around the Twine, like ivy to the treeArms that, when affliction found thee, Clung in deep sympathy; And 'tis she, w hose tender bosom, Like a beauteous lilly bed, Covered all with snow-white blossom, Pillows thy dejected head. 'Tisa wife, whose heart or feeling, Like a stream of frcshning flow. Through the blooming meadows stealing, Pours its balm upon thy wo; And 'tis she that rears beside thee, Children, like the flowers of MayChildren who, when ill betide thee, Shall be at thy hand to stay. From the S C. S-wthern Chronicle. HURRAH FOR CLAY! Friend Yarrobrough of the Hamburg Journal, a print that carries the name f John C. Calhoun for President, at its head, thus speaks of Henry Clay,'his second choice: II ill South Carolina support Clay? This is a question that has been asked over and over again, and y et no definite answer has been given. And why? Because those interrogated were afraid to commit themselves, and were unmindful ofthe dignity and unsullied pride of South Carolina. We did look with fond anticipation to the nomination or our worthy and gallant son, butjrecent events have cast shadows ahead; that plainly give us to understand, that South Carolina must stand alone. or support Clay the next best choice to Calhoun. But, wc again unequivocally say tint if Van Buren is to be thecandidate o( the democratic party, Henry Clay w ill be supported by South Carolina. Politicians may saywhatever they please in the matter, but the people w ill have a voice, that w ill ring from the seaboard to the mountains. If we are forced to haul down our colors in defence of Calhoun, we will rally under the banner ol Clay. The friends of Van Bnien may hold as many conventions ns there are letter? in the English Alphabet, and meet in caucus in every hole and corner in the Union, still it will nvail them nothing. To US th words r.f "A Cnrolion Whin" ., fa; lace be. -cen John C. Calhoun and Henry would have been a noble struggle the two loftiest in their pitch oT flight of all our statesmen but the country has been robbed of that gallant conflict by undue mancruvering." And wc now cai didly ask every true-hearted Carolinian, if they can support Van Buren under such circumstances? Will they willingly bnd their necki. to the yoke or such a man ? We hope not. Let us, iTall hope has fled for Calhoun, rally around the man whom we know to be open and Candid in his course a man nearest to the heart of Calhoun of anyone that ha yet been brought forward. Let us keep in good company at least, though we differ in opinion. Bankrupt Court. The New York Sun, speaking of the Bankrupt case before Judge Belts, says there are about 330 cases in this district yet undisposed of, and 2,020 discharges have been decreed.

THE OREGON QUESTION. Arrival of the British Plenii olentiarvDan

ger of Another Sacrifice of our Territoryto British Diploviacy and Ilopacily. The Biitish Minister. Mr l:1rlp,nn, urrc "wiui tun instructions to negotiate a settlement of the Oregon Territory dispute." has arrived. This mission by the British Government would be ineffably amusing, were not all disposition to merimen't extinguished by indignation at the audacity ofthe British claim, and the tame submission to it by our own government, past, present and anticipated. The British claims has not the slightest foundation; yet our government, to avoid a war which the British dare not undertake tp iit;n t limn .iii Av.i.ii .... . .... , ... -. . j. , c umi, hi surrenaer a targe portion of the territory. It is time for the neo pie to wake up on this subject, and infuse into the Executive a little manly spirit! Our title to this territory, from the Russian lo the Spanish frontiers, has been placed beyond all doubt, by our distinguished fellow citizen, Peter A. Browne, Esq. The British do not own a foot of territory on the Northwest! coast oi iot tli America. Not one foot! Yet

they claim the whole, and offer to surrender to i rmnp"s ,nto R1crc'. t0 dwten honor into reus a smail portion, as a compromise! As the I cmen,' exaU nerosity into virtue; by price of peace! Can insolence go furllier? h" soll;in!: cares to allay the anguish of the Yet in view of past negotiation about lhiJ body, and the far worse anguish of the mind;

J ..iiiii; in lllilHt? lesson. The hole diluted terriiorvin m ;., belongs to us. 1 he British Govern nent bow .. . j this; knew that it had not a coloroftitle. Yet, from to 1841. it presisted in a fraudulent claim, conlinn.-ill v nffV" ; 'i. iw iiiioinur;, I I'll till ually protracting negotiation, and continually growing more exorbitant in demand. At las't mvolved in (liiricully with China and India, it sends a minister here under vretrnce of full power to settle every question; and so soon as; he arrives, our govi nment offers him a portion I oi me lerrnory: wasa greater diplomatic blunder ever committed by a Minister of State? Let us illustrate the absurdity by a cae in private life. A owns of a farm inherited by a Cozen ancestors. B Claims it, well knowing that each of his own ancestors, by accounts with the ancestors of A, had confirmed the 1 itter for nt least twenty times. A treats B's claim as pieposterous, and Buffers M compromise fur one half of the land! They cannot agree, and leave the subject. B then proposes a meeting T.ir final settlement, A assent? toil; and upon that meeting A offt-rs one third of belaud! B eagerly accepts the offer, an 1 the division is made, to the great injury of A's remaining land. Common sense will s.?y that A throws away his rtaht, nnd that B is vet v shrewd in accepting his rffrr. And this is the history of the great dip'omatu: Talse step by our governinent.thc Ashburtou treaty. So soon as the British minister arrives, .Mr. Webster offers him a part of our territory. He eageily accepts the ffer. C mtnissioncrs are appointed by Maine and Massachusetts to treat for these two States; the offer if three hundred thousand dollars tempts Maine to the surrender, and Abbot Lawrence, Esq.. member ( of Congrcs from Massachusetts, has some reason.we know not what, for surrendering for Mass.; and upon these concessions froni us, the treaty is signed by both parlies. The Senate, not a little indignant, hesitate about the ratification. But they yield because their refusal w ould place us in the position of refusing to ratify thc tieaty founded on our own of- ; a posiin n involnrg l.(C nrh of faith. Another leason for y ielding is their refusal to in volve the country in a w ar for territory vhiih the very State especially interested hadalready yielded. Thus was an Executive completely outwitted; and thus were the Senate compelled to choose between a compn mise of national sag-city and one of national faith. To force the S'-nate into a choice between folly nnd fraud, was not very credible in the Executive. Now with the example of the Ashburton treaty before us, let tu le a l ltle wary. A British minuter is here to settle the Oregon question upon a similar basis, a surrender of our own territory; and the same President who gave the British a military road across our Northern frontier, is still in office, aided by a Secretary of State who would probably tejoice in an oppori unity to sacrifice Oregon for Texas. If our Executive should offer a portion of the Territory, and especially the portion which has already been offered, the British minister would probably accept it; and thus should wc be entrapped into a surrender precisely as in the case of the Northeastern boundary. But what offer has been made? Let us first see what we own. The Southern boundary of Oregon, established by the treaty between the United Slates and Spain Tor the cession of Florida, in 1819, in the forty-second degree of North latitude, near the river Clamet. Its Norther boundary, settled by the treaty of Petersburgh, between the United States and Russia, in 1821, is in North latitude fifty-four degrees and forty minutes. The whole comprehends twelve degrees and forty minutes of latitude, or about eight hundred and fifty miles along tlic Pacific Ocean. Its breadth, from the' Pacific to the Rocky mountains, is about five hundred and fifty miles; and thus the territorycontaining about five hundred thousand square j miles, or three hundred million of acres, more than tie whole of the 0!d Thirteen States. Even a land. a Territory, it i worth something to na. withu:t rc2"d to its iirur-ei.e importance to our trade in the PaciCe and Irdian oceans. The mouth of the Columbia river is in or about the forty-sixth degree, and all the gfod harbors of the territory are North of this

the surrender; and under this appiehenion j se,,olar 1 al1?r inS under hls l0"; 10 console the we call upon the Federal Senate to discharge I s,a,esman for thc ingratitude of a mistaken their duty to heir country, and we call upon i PPlf; to compensate for hopes that are Wightiht -peoplem every State to proclaim their will if,' f"?nds tha! are P"10" or happiness on the subject to the Senate. Let the Senate I PSei awy S,,rh 18 her ocati'; ratifiy no treaty for the surrender or one foot I "'elco,'ch of ,h .tortured sufferer, the prison of Oregon!

Blackwood's Magaz in e. Judge Gaston's TmxI Words- Thc Clarion thus beautifully and impressively sketches the death-bed scene of this excellent man: His last words were in admirable keeping wnh ihe purity and piety of his lone life. Surrounded by a few of his chosen friends who were al his bedside on the first intimation of a dancer to which he was insensible, he was relating with great playfulness the particulars of a convivial parly at Washington City many years aco, and sroke or one, who on that occasion avow ed himself a "Fice Thii ker" in religion. 'From that day,' said Jugo Gaston. 'I always looked on that man w iih ;dis'n:st. I do not say that a Free Thinker wcjnnt be an honorable man; that 'he may not firm high motives scorn to de a ivmn nc'; but I t'are rot trust him.

His body Ins gone to thc dust; his spirit, we cannot doubt, now rests in the l oscm of that God Al mighty, whoso name was lr.st on his lips, nnd to whom he had long given the homage of a pure and devoted heart.
