myself, more, much more for our common coun- 0f,hc various Slates of the Union, possesses considtry: for you have but recorded its voice in the I t,rahie jnlGresf. Ve have compiled it from the

shouts you have just uttered, which proclaim, in

language not to be misunderstood, that democratic republics are as tenacious of their dignity, and as sensitive at any imputation on their national honor, os the proudest monarchy. The case that has drawn forth this noble expression of national feelinn, is of novel occurrence. Heretofore we have contended for rights withheld, for interests invaded we contended manfully, successful!'', but never with perfect unanimity. Now we are called on to consider a question of national dignity, unmingled with any other consideration and the country shows by its unexampled unanimity, that it considers this last as of paramount importance. Lost rights may be recovered; the battles of freedom, though sometimes lost, are in the end "always won." Injuries to interest may be repaired but the reputation of a country once lost can never be regained. The people of the United Stales seem to be deeply sensible of this great truth, and the cry which I first heard on my arrival, of"iYo apology!" no concession!" has been repeated by the unanimous voice of the nation from the seaboards to the mountains, fiom the mountains to the great lakes and the valleys of the Mississippi. Not only all ihe prejudices of party seem lost in this national spirit, but strong personal interest gives way to the patriotic feeling, which prompts even those who are interested in the claims on France to reject with disdain the idea of purchasing their payment by an act of national dishonor. I renew, therefore, my congratulations to you and to the country on the noble spirit which pervade3 it. The occasion which ha3 brought you together adds one more to the many preceding refutations of the charge cf ingratitude against republics, lor the people have on this occasion most generously repaid moderate services, ordinary talents, and humble efforts, by the highest of all rewards, their approbation and applause. No! republics are not ungrateful! The charge

is made by the sordid and the vain, who think nothing valuable but gold, nothing honorable but titles, and that gaudy ribbons are the proper recompense for merit. No, gentlemen, republics are not ungrateful, but they are judicious in their choice of reward. They do not give hereditary honors to virtue and wisdom which may descend to folly nnd vice. Thev do not wring its earning from the hard hand of labor, that it may be poured out i;i pensions on the idlo and unworthy. They do not decorate with stars and spangled garters with ribbons and crosses and gewgaws, men who if they have done any tiling that may seem to have deserved these childish toy?, may afterwards prove unworthy of the decoration. Hut they give a nobler, a higher recompense fur services they give their confidence, and the seal of their approbation is a prouder distinction than any that d ingles from the button hole, or is embroidered on the breast of the titled countier; and I feel myself more honored and gratified by the applauding voice of my fellow citizens by the grasp of their friendly hinds, some of them hard with honest labor by their countenances beaming with the fire of patriotism, infinitely more honored than I could be by any titular appendage to my name that a monarch could bestow.

It will be preceived that the B inking capital of the State of Pennsylvania amounts to little more than seventeen millions, while in thr year 1S34, that of Mass ichusntts amounted to 21),409,450 dollars and New York has more than thirty one millions.

"I am a Roman Citizen" This appellation was once considered as one of the highest earthly honors. It was a passport to its possessor among the most distant and barbarous nations, and it was a disregard of this boasted privilege which stands out. conspicuously in the catalogue of crimes which Cicero arrays against Verres.and for the commission of which he invokes his condemnation. There is, even now, something that challenges respect in the exclamation, 'I am a citizen of Homer' It carries back the mind to former ages, when the majesty of the Roman Commonwealth cxtoited respect "from sea to sea and from the rivers to the ends of the earth." But the potency of the Roman name is no more the spell is broken, while "dancing dogs" and wandering mendicants throng the streets of the Caisars! Vc were led to these remarks on a name once powerful, by reading the influence of our own over a neighboring nation. The unfurling of our banner in Mexico, to save those whose lives were sought by an excited populace, was the utterance of the magic sentence, " am an American, citizen!" The thirst for blood gave way to admiration, at the sight of the banner which, like the Roman name, Conveys to distant nations the assurance af our rising greatness. It is visionary to suppose that the appellation ofan American citizen will not exert greater influence

over the minds of the distant nations than ever did

you, and much zeal for its honor, have received that which would strictly liive been due to successful talent. I was sent to procure payment of a debt long due to our fellow citizens, and I have returned empty handed. I was instructed to reconcile the jarring interests of our country with that to which I was sent, and I have left them more embroiled than ever. I have returned then, as the lawyers say, reinfect totally without success. Yet my return has been welcomed as if my mission had been crowned with complete success. Why is this? Simply because circumstances placed me in a situation to assert the honor and dignity of my country; to strike a chord that vibrated every American heart, and to do it in a manner which evety one approves, because every one feels tint in the same situation he would have done the like. Yet my mission has not been totally without ef

fect. Two points of importance have been gained: the ministry of France was brought earlv in the negotiation to the formal recognition, tlnt the treaty once concluded, bound the faith of the nation; nnd those w ho contended for the ri"ht of the legislature to interfere, have, after the exercise of that right, found that more than the sum stipulated to be paid was strictly due. Other points remain to be decided. Whether the sum thus acknowledged to be due can be withheld in satisfaction for imaginary insult. Whether the pledged faith of a nation can be redeemed in any other way than by a performance of its engagements. And whether a high minded, gallant people will f ubmit to an appreciation of its dignity in francs and centimes. Whatever may be the solution ofthese questions on the ether side of the water, there is but one on this. It is to be hoped that the amicable relations between the two countries may not be put on this is-

a passion w hich we trust will never know abatement. Rome rose to greatness on the ruins of conquered nations blood sprinkled as it were the foundation stone of the Eternal City and each edifice as it rose from the earth told of a nation conquered; of a people slain! America is rising too, but not by blood. Her glory is not based upon the triumphs of victorious armies, or the conflagration of magnificent cities, but on the virtue and happiness of her people, and may the day be far distant ere she finds in her bosom, the treachery of a Cataline, or the ambition of a Poaipey or a Caesar. Rochester Rep. A declaration. The editor of the Boston Courier, a furious opposition paper, says on the subject of the Vice Presidency, "we are not sure that another may be found, every way se well qualified to succeeed the present occupant, as the candidate of the Baltimore Convention." It is quite as well for the opposition generally to come to the same conclusion, and give up the contest; for very certain it is, that the candidates of the Baltimore Convention will both be elected.

A Non Pi. vs. Soon after wooden clocks began to come in fashion, a man, who had recently purchased one, permitted his neighbors to assemble at his house one evening for thepurpose of hearing a young exhorter hold forth. The great white-faced, caeeless clock, stuck up conspicuously in a couple of wooden braces on the opposite wall," was the wonder of each and several of the neighbors as they entered the door. One chap, who was not well ac

quainted with the ways of the world in general, and of. Yankee clocks in particular, appeared to take a curious interest in the 4tarnal thing," and at length seated himself close under it, probably for the purpose of amusing himself with its ticking. Just as the exhorter had got into the marrow of his subject, and was declaiming at a great rate, the clock struck. It "cut loose" whizzed, and sputtered a moment and cracked the shrill bell eight or nine times in succession. The fellow who had ensconced himself under the "sheep killin animle" started up amazed; he scratched his head looked unutterable things alternately at the clock, the audience and the preacher; and at length exclaimed, in a tone of the most earnest deprecation, "I declare I did'nt do nothin'to it!"

Wrong Pio by the ear. We have heard of a flaming Whig-nullifier, who condescended to stop in the street and "argufy" with a Democratic Mechanic about the ruinous measures of the present administration demonstrating most conclusively, in his own mind, that the high price of Jlour was owing lo the outrageous conduct of Gen. Jackson and his cabinet!! And who was going on trying to convince the democrat, that if Judge White were elected and the de pos iles restored, money would be plenty, provisions cheap, Sec. when he was thrown all aback, by the Democrat's telling him that Mechanics' families in his neigborhood generally raised what served them; and the prices which the farmers got for what they had to sell, the more and the better pay did the country mechanics obtain; and he thought, if so be it, that this Mr. Judge White was going to knock down the price of what the farmers had to sell, he might as well go some other place to be elected, because the people of North Carolina live by their earnings from their firms. Whereupon the advocate cf ichiggism let go the democrat's button, which he had been holding fast all this time) and made ofF as abruptly as though he had been fleeing from the cholera stammering as he fled, "I I did't know that you farm'd it any." J. C. Standard.

There was a novel and interestingfeature in the celebration of the Fourth of July at Corinth. The Bangor Maine Republican states "that the procession was escorted from P. P. Pearson's Hotel, by the Corinth Light Infantry, a fine and well disciplined company of young men, which had previously gallantly taken under escort a company of from 50 to 75 young ladies in tasteful uniform of straw bonnets and white dresses, becomingly ornamented with evergreen and blue ribbons, when the whole body moved to the meeting house, which was filled to overflowing. After the services were concluded, the procession re-formed, and conducted the ladies to a neat and tasteful arbour, where a separate table was spread and bountifully supplied, and lemonade provided for eliciting the pure and easy flow of sentiments, as may be found in connexion." The Prospect of the West. It has lon been our opinion, that too high an estimate could hardly be placed upon the future destinies of this vast but youthful domain. The scenes before us now, however, seem to realize all our most extravagant anticipations. Every village and every city of this wonderful and happy land, is now teeming with crowds of eager visitants from the lands of our fathers, all intent upon catching something of the spirit and fortunes cf the hatdy pioneers who so lately preceded them. Our own little city is at this moment overwhelming with strangers, and although every nerve has been strained to prepare a good reception, and give a hearty welcome to visiters, still our utmost limits are inadequate to supply the demand for rooms. Detroit has doubtless seen more people within her limits for the last month, than ev-

t er before were found here in double the time. It

is just so with all the more prominent stopping places between this and the village ofChicago. It is said, that people on entering this last place, have been absolutely astonished. At such a world of woods and waters intervening, the stranger imagines that

he has almost passed the limits of creation, when suddenly appears, as if by rnagic,from the lake, the above named beautiful and prosperous village. He enters it, and finds among the busy, wonder-seeking throng, hundreds of those whom he had begun to think of as the inhabitants of another sphere. Instead of Indians, log huts, tomahawks and scalping knives, he sees, with wondering delight, the beauty, fashion and refinement of the literary and commercial emporiums of America. Things indeed remind him occasionally of primeval manners, and the presence of an obstinate stump, or cf a a half troop of aboriginals, serves to throw a charm of poetry over the tout ensemblee of the place, but then the contrast between his expectations and the reality is such, that he is almost ready to doubt the evidences of his senses. Nothing has ever been wanting in this country but men. Money we could very well dispense with; for with a little industry, we find a full supply of every thing, that even luxury could demand. We have no objection, however, to exchange our good things for the precious metals; and the people of the east seem to have understood us at least on this point. Some millions of dollars are at this moment jingling in the pockets of strangers, ready to seduce the landholders here to sell their patrimonies and move to "the wrest." The rage for speculation in our city we have already noticed. Our friends from the 'farther west' come in daily to tell us of tfio state of things at the places they have left. It is every where, land, money, deeds, speculations, these are the words which are repeated hourly and momently among the busy calculators from the east. Detroit Journal.

1 ora,' says the Jlojor, have vpu got a knife: Yes. Then cut this red devil's throat. 'Oh, no, Major, says Tom, give the fellow fair play, some chance for his life. You d n rascal, was the angry reply,'cut his throat quickly, 'don't you see he's biting me! Well, Major, bite him too; two to one ain't fair; but if he masters you, I'll give him a round afterwards. 'You infernal villain, if you do not cut'his throat in one minute, I'll cutyour's. But it was not until these threatenings were'repeated over and over again, that Tom would consent to do this act for his commander, which he finally did with a very sullen air, as if it was a great piece of imposition to his enemy. He very leisurely drew a knife across the Indian's throat and as leisurely wiped it, and consigned it to its proper place, muttering all the while against his officer, who, no doubt, carried him through a regular course of drilling afterwards, and impressed upon his mind the necessity of quickly obeying an order. Trial of Capt. Read of the U. S. Navy. The Army and Navy Chronicle, published at Washing

ton, gives the particulars and result of the trial of

Capt. Read, of which the following is the substance: Capt. Read was tried on five several charges, viz: 1st. For conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. 2d. For oppression. Cd. For cruelty. 4th. For scandalous conduct. 5th. For violation of the 3Cth article r.f the act for the better government of the Navy cf the United States. On the first charge Capt. Read was found guilty of the first part, but not guilty of that part which charged him with conduct unbecoming a gentleman. On the second and fifth charges guilty of all the specifications, but not guilty of the charges themselves. The sentence of the Court is that Capt.. G. C. Read be suspended from the service of the II. States for one year. The decision was made on the first of July, and approved by the President of the United States on the 20th. If, as we understand was the case, the leading fact was proved, that Capt. Read, under whatever provocation, ordered a Midshipman of the United States Navy, to be triced up by force to the yard arm, and that, too, in the presence of the officers and crew of the ship the sentence seems to us, and will, wo think, to the public, inadequate to the offence. JY. Y. American. Credibility of wilnesst's. Formerly in order to test the cred.bility of a witness, he was asked by the Judge whether he believed in a future state of retribution. Very lately, the wise Judges have discovered that this proceeding was a genuine bull since it was taking a man's word in order to prove his oath never supposing that any man would be guilty of that very common species of deception, of avowing faith in doctriucs which one does not believe. In this case, if a man was honest enough candidly to avow his disbelief, his oath was considered unworthy of credit; but if he was dishonest enough to pretend to believe, though an infidol at heart, ho was admitted as good evidence. The wise Judges, after studying upon ti e elevated science of the law for many centuries, very lately discovered, through the assistance of those who had not been enlightened by the knowledge of this wonderful science, that they had for ages been mocking justice with this most exquisite bull. Again we believe the people will be under the necessity of explaining to their honorable dullnesses another bull quite as absurd and ridiculous as the former. Having discovered that it was unreasonable to take a man's word at court, whose oath was not admissible, they now endeavor to prove his faith by his professions out of court most wiselv taking it for

granted, against all common sense and exporienc3, that whatever one nrofesses to believe must. m-r-M.

sarily be his real belief. Do they notunderstand that even in their present mode of proceeding, they exclude only the honest unbelievers from the privilege of giving their testimony, while they admit the testimony of the cunning and intriguing infidel who endeavors to gain reputation and office by his professions of religious faith? What is this but taking an individual's mere word mere empty professions, out- of court, which in the majority of cases are insincere in order to prove whether his oath is deserving of credit in court! Do they not by this proceeding, in numerous Instances, refuse to admit the testimony of individuals whose word and whose honor they would implicitly trust in all their dealings out of court, while they admit the testimony of hundreds who are noted for their disregard to truth and honor. Boston Statesman.

Major S, who figured very conspicuously, as a cool, collected, and a brave officer, in the late war with the Sacs and Foxes, was eng iged in many of those daring exploits, which are so common to the hardy sons of the frontier, and which were they more known, would place the actors high on the "roll of fame." Near the close of the ill-fated struggle of the Indians, he walked out fiom his camp, as usual, early in the morning, accompanied by a "fellow in arms." Having advanced some distance from the camp, they suddenly came in view

of the three Indians. They quickly draw their rifles to a level with their opponents, and the unerring aim, and the keen eyes of the western hunters caused two of the three "sons of nature," to kiss their mother earth. Major S. dropping his rifle, but grasping his knife, made chase for the- remaining Indian, who fired his rifle, without effect. The Major's companion taried until he could effect the scalping of the two Indians, whom they killed. But a short space of ground was got over before the active Major had gripled with his red foe, and unfortunately lost his knife before ho had time to use it. Each had the other by the throat, and though a knife hung from the belt of the Indian, neither dared to loose his hold to get it. The Indian observing the approach of the Major's companion, made a desperate effort to floor his adversary, but his active opponent parried the trip and threw him. Still neither could use the knife, for the Indian locked himself to close with tho Major, that he buried his teeth in

A meeting was held at Richmond, Va. on tho 24ih July, to take into consideration tho incendiary movements at the North on the subject of Slavery. This, we suppose, will be cheering news to the abolitionists, who desire above alfihiri"3to keep the pot boiling. No doubt the slavo insurrections in Mississippi is traceable to their influence, and no doubt many of them would rejoice if an insurrection should take place all over the Southern States. The Richmond Whig says, "It is hoped the whole People will attend, in order tint it may be seen that however divided on other subjects, the Southern people are and will be unanimous on this, which involves every man'd safety. Let the people bewaro of those, few in number, but deep in design, who go about crying Peace! Peace! when there is no peace, and who would have the.-ri to wait until the fetters are forged and fitted to the limb. It is time to present front, and let the fmatics see that their designs are only to ye accomplished by marching over the prostrate bodies of the Southern People." Jour. Com.

Insurrection at Havana The brig Carroll, Capt. Young, arrived this morning, 8 days from Havana. Capt. Young informs us that on the 12th of July an insurrection took place amongst the blacks at work on the aqueduct. They refused to work, and broke into a store, arming themselves with knives, and killed three or four whites. In quelling them, sixteen were lanced by the troop of horse. About thirty were to be shot in a few days. Philad. Exchange Books. Triumph of tobacco. Not long since the municipal dignitaries of Providence, R. I. going upon the old principle of governing too much, passed a law prohibiting smoking in the streets. Poor fellows! they escaped smoke to be sure, but they have been parboiling in hot water ever 6ince. From that time, the smokers have been in a state of semirebellion. There was no long nines in their mouths, but there were curses: both loud and deep curses to kill with. They breathed words that burn, though their locomotive fires were extinguished. The oppressive enactment was denounced as unconstitutional and cruel affairs were rapidly approaching a crisis. The three days of revolution were at hand. The Peyronncts and Polignacs of Providence began to tremble. They, too, might be sent to howl at Ham: so, to save their bacon, they permitted the boys to smoke it. The law has just been rescinded, and all Providence is smoking away again like a lime-kiln, or a dish of pepper-pot, all hot. The grunters are running about with straws in their mouths, and the little boys are pulling away at bits of rattan and kite-foots: long nines are going up like fancy stocks, and the tobacconists are stretching their mouths from ear to ear with delight. This change is, we understand, to be commemorated by the erection of a triumphal pillar, representing a long nine, rampant, on a pile of civic authorities, couchant. Vade Mecum.

Improved short horn cattle. The taste for improving our cattle in this neighborhood rather increases than abates. We understand that II. Clay, Fsq. sold to Spencer Cooper,' Esq. a few days ago, one of the improved short horn cows, with a calf one day old, by accommodation, for $500; but she is said to be unsurpassed in pedigree and promise. Before the cow and calf were removed from Ashland, Mr. Cooper sold the calf, deliverable at weaning, to Wager J. Smith, for 200 The spirit of improvement. Kentucky is much in advance of Ohio in the improvement in cattle; but there is a growing spirit a broad among tho farmers in Ohio, that will soon place them by the side of theirheretoforo enterprising neighbors in this particular line of business. Murrian. There arc but few losses or misfortunes that bear as severely upon farmers, in thia part of the country, as those occasioned by the above disease among their cattle; and any successful treatment of it should be generally known. It has-been thought, by some, to be incurable, but we are satisfied from personal observation and the statements of those who have had much experience in the disease, that it will, in many cases, when seasonably treated, yield to medicine. The course of treatment that has proved most successful in this neighborhood hag been bleeding and physicing; and the most powerful cathartic that can be given, prove the most successful. A neighbor has saved the life of a valuable animal, which had been violently taken with all the symptoms of inveterate murrian, by bleeding and dosing with Croton oih This is supposed to be a new treatment, and as it proved successful in this instance, we would recommend further trials. From 20 to 50 drops of the oil, according to the size of the animal, may be given mixed with sugar and dissolved in milk. TV rst. Revs. Chronicle.

Movement of the Dragoons Information has been received, via Fort Gibson, from Major Mnson, to the 6th June. On the 2d he had established his camp on a small branch of the Canadian, which empties into that river on the north side, and to the western border of the Cross Timbers, about 150 miles from Fort Gibson; he finds there an ample supply of pure spring water, good grazing for his horses, buffalo in abundance, and timber buflicient to furnish shade to protect his men and horses from the heat of the sun. Army and Jfacy Chronicle. Curious Case. A curious circumstance lately occurred in Ireland: A nobleman had a suit in chancery decided against him by Sir Edward Sugdem No suspicion was entertained of the soundness of the decree; but a report having been circulated that this eminent lawyer was about to resign the seals and resume his forensic practice in Westminster Hall, the peer appealed from the decision, declaring his intention to bring the ca6e before tho

House of Lords, and actually sent to Sir Edward a retaining fee of twelve guineas, to secure his services as an advocate for the appeal against his own decision. i i Value of Silexce. Talking to friends is the ruin of half the speculations projected. It was ono of the military maxims of the Earl of Peterborough that the readiest way to surprise his enemies was to elude his friends; and he always illustrated it by his own conduct, in keeping his enterprise, during the war in Spain, a secret from his officers, until tho moment they were called upon to contribute to the execution. 'Respectable. There are few words in our language more misused than this. Wealth is so often thought to be the main constituent of respectability, that when an exception is designed to be understood it must be distinctly expressed. The universal newspaper phrase, in such cases, is 'Poor, but respectable,' as if the fact of poverty wcro prima facie evidence against respectebility. No one who has known the poor intimately can for a moment assent to 6uch a heresy. There is no class of society in our country where all the virtues which confer a just claim to respect more generally abound than among the poor While the idleness or vice which produce far tho larger proportion of squalid misery which exists should receive rio, tolerance, all honor 6hould be paid to the virtue' which shines but amidst tho pressure and temptations of poverty.
