J£3T Dr. A. Pence, Druggist, has appealed his case to a higher court. He made little or no defence at the trial, thinking it entirely useless, as the article he sold contained so much drugs that it was almost impossible to take more than two flpoonsfull at one time, and could not be used as a beverage.— Besides, it was his usual prescription for the disease he was treating.

SPEECH OF HENRY CLAY, nELIVKRED IN THE UNITED STATES SEN

ATE, FEBRUARY 7, 1839, On Abolition Petitions. [CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY.]

Prior to the agitation of this subject of abolition, there was a progressive melioration in the condition of slaves throughoutall the slave States. I a some of them, schools of instruction were opened by humane and religious persons. These are all now checked, anrf a spiritof insubordination having shown itself in some localities, traceable, it is believed, to abolition movements and exertions, the legislative authority has found it expedient to infuse fresh vigor into the police, and laws .rhich regulate the conduct of the slaves.

And now, Mr. President, if it were possible to overcome the insurmountable obstacles which lie in the.way of immediate abolition, let us briefly contemplate some of the consequences which would inevitably ensue. One of

Oo!!I cendency over the whites, would be the sole alternative. Prior to the con-

and the slave laborers the other each class pursuing its own avocations almost altogether unmixed with the oher. But on the supposition of immediate abolition, the black class, migrating into the free States, would enter into competi.ion with the white class, diminishing the wages of their labor, and augmenting the hardships of their condition.

This is not all. The abolitionists strenuously oppose all separation of the two races. 1 confess to you, sir, that I have seen with regret, grief, and astonishment, their resolute opposition to the project of colonization. No scheme was ever presented to the acceptance of m«n, which, whether it be entirely practicable or not, is characterized by moie unmixed humanity and benevolence than that of transporting, with

their own conseut, the free people of Wood rwd color in the United States to the land! Lime $ bu. of their ancestors. It has the powerful recommendation that whatever it does is good and, if it affects nothing, it inflicts no one evil or mischief upon any portion of our society. There is no necessary hostility between the objects of colonization and abolition. Colonization deals only with the free man of color, and that with his own free voluntary consent. It has nothing to do with slavery. It disturbs no man's property, seeks to impair no power in the slave States, nor to attribute any to the general government. All its action and all its ways and means are voluntary, depending upon the blessing of

Providence, which hitherto has graciously smiled upon it. And yet, beneficent and harmless as colonization is, no portion of the people of the United States denounce it with so much persevering zeal and such unmixed bitterness as do the abolitionists.

They put themselves in direct opposition to any separation whatever between the two races. They would keep
