POLITICAL AND MISCELLANEOUS. STRONG EVIDENCE. The Mechanics of the South havo shown Mr. Clay the most marked and respectful attention. " I cannot deny the fact," says an intelligent southern opponent, " that ho is looked iiyon by our artizans as their honost friend." And why ? These mechanics do not possess the political power in tho South that their brethren havo in the Frco Siatos; thoy are not politicians ; hut they are there as well as elsewhere, keen observers

and right roasoners ; and acting upon evidence nidcr him hopelessly insane. Wo may add to placed before them contrary to the wish of the par- j this that a gentleman of the higest respectability tv in poer,&; in opposition to long established pro- stated in this city two or three days ago. that he .' .. . i i i ,.. . i .i j was in Utica the day previous and was not allowmdice, thoy have declared Mr. Clay to te the con- ! , , T1 n . , 3 i 7 i V J . , . . . - . r , , ,'cdbv Dr. Bngharn, tho Superintendent of the slant fc unflinching friend of American labor in all Hospital, to see Mr. Niles, notwithstanding the ltd branches.

In you, sir, wo rocogniso tho constant and un- ; cause than rheumatism, why put a strait jacket flinching friend, not only of tho mechanical arts, on him ! An insane Hospital is not certainly an but of all the other great and varied interests of appropriato place for a man afflicted with rhcuour common country. In your patriotism wo 1 matism only."

Amos Kendall, in tho Expositor of tho 15th instant, inquires, what would the Whigs think of him if he should unfurl the banner of the Cross as a party sign ? Tho editor may rest satisfied that the Whigs would think none tho worso of him. Ho has already earned and received tho crown of blasphemy, by the publication of his " Providential Dispensations," and as if the star of his fortunes had determined that nothing should bo wanting to complete his infamy, this honor has been awarded him by his own party. Mr. K. has long enjoyed tho reputation of being among tho most corrupt, vindictive, unscrupulous party hacks which tho annals of toryism or toadyism can furnish ; and if there be any higher or lower niches in tho Templo of Infamy to which hi has not attained, any deeper or blacker guilt from which ho has withheld his hand.wo may safely conclude that his ambition of such honors has only been restrained by the inborn poltroonery of hin nature, which would never sustain him in such attempts. Wo hare placed Mr. Kendall among the most corrupt and wicked and prostituted of partyhacks, and have not set him boforo all others from a scrupulous sense of justice to his friond, Mr. R'air, of tho Globe, w hoso depravity being total and complete, of courso can have no superior whoso well-earned slmnio could receive no blacker shades under tho frowning gibbet. Without presuming to givo the palm of villany to cither, therefore, wo venture to assert that the two make a pair," as the author of Gil Bias would say, of which tho most corrupt and profliirate faction of any country would not be ashamed.

HON. JOHN M. NILES. So soon as it was known in Connecticut that tho Whigs had carried tho State, Mr. Gideon Welles, a prominent Locofoco, wroto to Senator Niles to leave the Lunatic Asylum at Utica and come to Albany, where he was met by Mr. W. and taken post-hasto to Washington, passing thro'

this city on Friday. Tho intention of course is that he shall be qualified and take his seat in tho U. S. Senate. The Troy Whig of Saturday says : " John M. Niles The locofoco journals state that this gentleman has entirely rocovercd with the exeption of a slight rheumatic affection. This is a great error. Wo are informed by a near connection of Mr. Niles that his friends conrouuou to a room ntiea up witn gratings and all the other safe-guards of a lunatic's cell." " Now if Mr. Niles is suffering from no other We wore sure from the first that a Whig triumph in Connecticut would bo productive of vast good, but we did not think it would restore a loco foeo to sanity, and cause his immediate transformation from a cell in a Lunatic Asylum to a seat in the United States' Senate. However, tho greater its salutary and sanitary influence, the more wo are delighted. -N. Y. Tribune. L )COFOCO FORGERY. The Cincinnati Enquirer and Message of the ;th inst., in tho course of an article intended to Pxf''"0 Germans against tho Whig party, gives t!iu following as a Quotation from "tho Inaiururnl j Address of Gov. Seward of New York." ! " It is by their labor, and by that only, that . Foreigners render any service of tho United i States ; and it is the just prerogative to the Amorj iean pjople, to confine them to this thoir only . lu'onor ViM'nttnti ill ntli Aimtiir , ... i-vumi v. only by such infamous falsehoods that Ixjcofocoism ever bears rule. Hartford Weekly Journal, April 13. Why do not the Jxv-ofoco papers publish Dr. Duncan's speech I The Dr. meant it as a first rate, incomparable electioneering document, and wo think it is. We hope the locos will not take it unkindly that we advise them to publish the Drs final eflort. It is tho most perfect affair of the sort we have yet seen ; that is to say, it contains rnoro unconscionable lies, lies bigger, bhacker, and more leprous, than can bo found elsewhere. " Circulate the documents," locos, and enlighten your friends, and save your Whig neighbors tho necessity of doing it. Louisville Journal. The Rev. Dr. Brisbane, a Babtist minister of tot I incinnati, upon moving from rSouth Carolina a fow years since, sold all his slaves, twenty93voji in number. After residing hero a short time ho became so thoroughly convinced of tho sinfulnes of slavery, that he was purchase them, at an advanced induced to reprice, and set them at liberty. lie has lately returnod with i them to Cincinnati where ho intends to make pro- j vision for them until they are able to support themselves. Dr. Brisbane is an abolitionist, i whose sincerity no ono Xeuia Torch Lijrht. w ill dare to question. Just before the late olection in the land of stoady habits, the New York Aurora said : "Parties ! havo their eves fixed on Connecticut." It may be correct to say of tho Locofoco party before, that its eyes were fixed. Sinco tho election however, wc may say of it as the negro in tho comic almanac says of tho dying horse, "its eyes is sot." Lou. Jour. Our old neighbor Pcnn, of tho St. Louis Reporter, speaks of Mr. Clay as being "ungrateful to Amos Kendall." We have often heard of the " viper's ingratitude to the countryman," but we suppose that Penn will givo a new version to the old fable and entitle it " the countryman's ingratitude to tho viper.'" ib. The Connecticut Freeman, a Liberty paper, says that tho Locofoco party " became intoxicated with its late partial triumphs." As the Liberty men have embraced and kissed the Locofoco party, they ought certainly to know whether it is drunk or not. They have as good means of judging as tho Buckeye girl who, after giving her lover a hearty smack, exclaimed, " Dog my cats if vou haint taken a littlo rve. old hoss." ib. 'The people owe a debt to Martin Van Buren,' says the New York Plcbian. 'Exactly so,' replies Dawson of tho Rochester.

to. ir. I'orter Dear rir: r.ver sense 1 redd that poico in your paper, whar you sed you would walk a hundred miles just to shake hands with me, 1 ve been monstrous anxious to git acquainted with you. But its sich a terrible long ways to New York, and Cotten's down so low, I don't much think I'll evor have tho pleasure of sooin you in this world. But there's one consolation we literary men's got over common people, and j that is, wo can form quaintancos and friendships ' by our writins without evor seein one another,! and boin as some of us aint no great beauties, per-1 naps its as good a way as enny. lm e told vouwr Im'e told vouwr n monstrous wrjito loner, mnrler IncrnaA fll-r and you may be 'Domination ugly for all I j. r r. - - w --J -' know; but this one thing I'mo certain of you must be a smart man, and a man of first-rate taste, or you wouldn't liko my ritins so much. I would rit you a letter before, but the fact is, sense last Febuary, I haint had much timo for nothing. The baby's been as cross as tho mischief with tho hives, and Mary, she's boon ailin a gooddeal, and then you know this timo of year we planters is all bissy fixin for the crop. Nothing uncommon haint tuck place down hero lately, only tother day a catastorfy happened in our lamly that come monstrous nigli puttin a eend to the wholo generation of us. I never was so near skeerod out of my senses afore in inv born days, and I dont boliove old Miss Stallions ever wil git over it, if she was to live a thousand years. But I'll tell you about it. Last Monday mornin all of us srot up well and hearty as could be, and I sot in our room with Mary, and played with tho baby till breakfast timo, little thinkin what was gwine to happen so soon. Tho little feller was jumpin and crowin so I couldn't hardly hold him in my arms, and sp'readin his litllo month add laUghin just liko he j know d every thing we sed to him. Bimeby out Prissy come to tell us brcckfust was reddy, and we all went in tother room to cat, 'cept sister Kesiah, who said she would stay and take care of little Henry Clay, til wo w as done. Mary's so careful she won't trust tho baby w ith none of the niggers a singlo minit, and she's always dredful uneasy when Kesiah's got it, she's so wild and so careless. "Well, wo all sot down to break feast, and Ke. siah, she scampered up stairs to her room with the baby, jumpin it up, and kissin it, and talkiu to it as hard as she could. "Now sis, do bo careful of my precious little darlin," ses Mary, loud as she could to her, when she wnsgwine up stairs. , - ta rifled 'bout the baby," ses old Miss Stallins "you don't 'low yourself a minit's peaco when ! it's out of your sight. ! "That's a fact," ses sister Carlino, "she won't let no body do nothing for little Henry but herself. I know l'wouldbe so crazy 'bout no child i of mine." I "Well, but you know sister Kiz is so careless, I'm always so fraid she'll let it swallar something, 1 or git a fall, some way." ! "Tut, tut," sos the old woman, "they aint no 1 sense in bein all the time scared to deth 'bout nothin. Peoplo's got enough to do in this world to I boar the trouble when it comes, 'thout studdyin it I up. Take some of them good hot corn-muffins," ses she, "they's mighty nice. We was eatin along tho old woman was talkin 'bout her gardin and the fro9t, and I was just raisin my coffee cup to my mouth when I hoard Kesiah scream out "Oh my Lord! tho baby! the baby!" and whap it come rito downstairs onto the floor. Lightnin couldn't knocked me off my seat quicker down wont the coffee, and over went the table with all tho vittlcs -Mary screamed and old Miss Stallins fainted rite away in her cheer I was so blind I couldn't hardly see, but . , . i t . .-i t i i - " 1 1 never Droainea a Dream tu i grauoou u up in . ,, j a thn Uiw two nr thrRf j j ,f i u d th hart to iook at the poo,. iit. ill V ux ills u n i i uit a uutiu i v tie thing to soo if it was ded. By this timo the galls was holt of mo hollerin "April Fool! April Fool!" as hard as thoy could, and when I come to look, I had nothing in my arms but a bundle of rags with little IlenryClay's clothes on. I shuck all over like I had a ager, and felt a monstrous sight more like cussin than laughin. "April Fool, dinnation!" ses I "fun's fun; but I'm dad blamed if theres any fun in any sich doins;" and I was jest gwino to blow out a little, when I hoard Mary screamin for mo to come to her mother. When we got in the dini n room, thar the old woman was keeled over in her cheer, with her eyes sot in her head and a corn muffin stickin in her mouth. Mary was takin on at a terrible rate, and all she could do was jest to clap her hands and holler "Oh mother's dyin! mother's dyin! whar's the baby ? Oh, my poor mother !Oh, my darlin baby!" I tuck Mary and 'splained it all to her and tried to quiet the poor gall, and the gals got at tho old woman; but it took all sorts of rubbin, and ever so much assafedity and camfiro and hartshorn and burnt hen's feathers, to bring her too, and then she wouldn't stay brung too morne'n a minit 'fore she'd keel over agin, and I do believe if they hadn't brung little Henry Clay down so she could see him and feel him and hear him squall, she never would got her senses agin, one aint moTO-n Ii.iir nt lipwlf vit. All the sails kin do. thev can't make her understand the April Fool bisness, and she won't let no body eiso but Herself nurse the baby ever sense. As soon as I had timo to think a little, I was so monstrous glad that it warnt no worse I couldlittle, I was n't stay mad with the galls. But I tell you what, j o . .. . , . ,, , T 1 1 j1 1 m- mtnito believe in thb April foolin.

Tho practico which has unfortunately grown "P amongst us of connecting awful dispensations of Providonce with political events, and deducing inferences from them of prosumptious and almost ' blasphemous nature, is ono that is as dangerous j """poinuas uutum, uu mat. i to DU DllC morality as It IS OtieilSlVO to religion. . -

If it were the result of fanaticism merely, we ; tho danger of being finally ruined by Una poruishould pity tho man whose mind was so disorder-! cioiis habit. There is but one infallible sa feed as to prevent him from drawing, cloarly, the ! guard, and that one is, entire and unqualified ablino between a rational and exarieratod faith; ,' stinence.

but when wc see it mado an instrument ot party hostility, we cannot too strongly mark our condemnation of tho "use of such unjustifiable weapons. The ways of God are inscrutable, and it is not for tho feeble and erring niind of man to pen etrate into his motives; still less ought wo to draw .1 , UlSil conclusions from them to favor our own se views, or justify our evil passions. Whatever may have been tho faults of tho mon w ho have been either victims or sufferers by tho recent melancholy calamity on board the Princeton, or however erroneous to tho policy they may havo pursued, it is an overstrained and unchristian assuption for any journal to say that that lamentablo event was a special punishment for their orrors. It is assuming the prerogative of the Almighty himself to pronounce so solemn a judgment on tho creatures whom he re - calls into his dread presence. H e see the best and the purest minded of our fellow beings wra - ii . i i .i i 7sionally swept away, while thoso whose lives are - . i - ii i a disgraco to religion and humanity, are suflered to livo on in the commission of fresh transgres sions. v herctore, then, are we, blind and erring mortals as wo are, to set ourselves up as judges of tho manifestations of tho divine will? Wo arc but dust in tho eyes of tho Creator, and yet, prosumptious as wc are, we attempt to raise ourscIvjs to His level. It is an unhealthy symptom to seo such sentiments as these go unrebuked. It is not merely in tho conversation of indiscreet men, but in the public journals that they find expression. This is deeply to bo deplored, when wo t;ike into consideration the wide-spread influence which tho prints to which we alludo exercise upon tho mind of the community. Tho familiar contemplation w'cakdn ' trfo "lam o'iufiiost"vi jjjx, 'nJc-jiliLtcI to stronger than their principles, and thus the results bacome much more serious and mischievous than their promulgators originally contemplated. We, therefore, entreat of the journals to which wo havo alluded, to reflect well on the consequences of tho indiscreet course they are pursuing. Lightly spoken words frequently involve a grave amount of responsibility, and wo know nothing which tends more to harden the heart than tri- , fling on religious subjects ; like a double edged sword, it cuts both ways being more fatal in the recoil than in tho blow. We therefore advise thoso who use it to take care that it bo not direct- j cd against themselves, for, as a political weapon, j it is w holly indefensible; anu we Know max. tue profanity of their language is already awakening a strong feeling of disgust and indignation. N. Y. Republic THE PRESIDENT AND RHODE ISLAND. Wo recommend to the particular attontion of our readers tho Message of tho President of the United States to the House of Representatives in reply to a call from that body. Tho Message was sent'in on Tuosday, but not opened until Wednesday, and wo then had no opportunity of seeing it. We copy the message from the Madisonian, and will publish the correspondence as s jon as we can obtain X '. We cannot let this letter goto our readers without taking occasion to express tho gratification which the perusal of it has affordod us, not only on account of the soundness of principles which it lays down, so worthy of the high station occupied by its author, but on account also of tho frank and satisfactorv explanation which it affords of the President's conduct in regard to the unhappy conflict in Rhode IslarnJ. This explanation was more necessary, from his course having been heretofore somewhat misunderstood; and the President cannot but feel obligod to the mover of the Resolution, whatever his motive might have been, for affording him so favorable an opportunity for doing justice to his own motives and conduct. This ho appears to us to have done effectually. He had taken, it appears, all proper measures for tho interposition of the General Government, had circumstances made such interposition an inevitable duty : and wo should think, now that all oxcitement on the subject has nearly subsided, there can bo very few who will not rejoice as we do, that tho brave Rhode Islanders were found able of themselves to defend their Government and laws against disloyalty at home, thouSh encour aged by. volunteer revolutionists irom ocnor. States; and that, therefore, the interposition of force by the United states to queu me rebellion became unnecessary. Sincerely do we unite in the President's conoxatulation to the country "upon so happy a terj mination of a condition of things which seemed at one time senousiy 10 uirsaien ui n tfirmmatinii we can also repeat viui ; him, which "may justly be regarded as worthy oi j hi J th ? - - n acre, and of the country in which we nve. ! a - rf Toti The Quebec Gazette speaks of a man having . ; "purchase liana m the citv of St. Louis."

DRUNKENNESS. In speaking of drunkenness, it is impossible not to bo struck with the physical and moral degrada' tion which it has spread over the world. The ruin of Rome was owing to luxury, of which indulgence in wine was the principal folly. Hannibal's army foil less by tho arms of Scipio than by tho wines of Capua ; and the inebriate hero of Macodon. after slaving his friend.Clytus and burning tho palace of Persopolis, expired at last in a fit of intoxication, in his thirty-third year. A thousand volumes might be written in illustration of the evil ctibcts of dissipation ; but this is unnecessary to thoso who look around them and endeavor to understand their condition and destiny. Tao history of tho past toems with lessons by which we may

profit ; and the personal observation pf every man has unquestionably furnished abundant proof of Exchange Paper. JL.A t KAUKUL.iHV MAUulAGE CKKEMONY.

Duncan, having ro-considorod the River Ac liar i bor bill, tho appropriation for the Illinois river was struck out by a vote of 1 18 to 49. The appropriation for tho Ohio, tho Mississippi,' '; and Harbors, was passod by a vote of 110 to 75.' I he Bill appropriates, we beuove, one hundred thousand dollars to the Ohio river above the Falls,' and one hundred and eighty thousand dollars to tho Ohio and Mississippi below. This is sufficient for tho work that can be done the present season Wc are glad Congress has removed the reproach which it certainly would have incurred had the Bill not passed. Cincinnati Chronicle. INFAMOUS BLASPHEMY. The National Intelligencer, alluding to the baso means resorted to by the Loco Focosto sustain their sinking cause, says . "Among tho means projected! is a series of tracts, published here for distribution by members of Congress and others, which from the sample we have seen of them, are likely to bo the most villainous compounds of Falsehood, Hy pocrisy, and Malignity that havo evor damnod anv causo or disgraced any country." - t Asa specimen they publish Tarct No. 4, entitled "Providential dispensations. "-This is drawn up in a canting, pious strain, attributing all the deaths, misfortunes and public calamities of the last three years, to the wickedness of tbe Whigs, and the judgment of God in consequence thereof. Take an example "Upon tho front of the Portico of the Capitol above tho pillars which sustain it, is a statue of Justice formerly holding in her right hand a scroll labelled "Constitution." Prior to the inauguration of General Harrison, the right arm of tho statue broke, and, with the scroll of the Constitution, fell to her feet, whore it now lies."
