Vegetable Curiosity.

We were shown a strange combination of Tomatoes, last evening by Mrs. Miller, of this city. It consists of two Tomatoes, each about the size of a walnut, connected together by a link in the form of a heart, and resembling the leaf of a cactus, the large part connecting the twin Tomatoes, and the point extending out beyond both altogether, it is an interesting curiosity.

SPEECH OF HENRY CLAY, DELIVERED IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE, FEBRUARY 7, 1839,

On Abolition Petitions. [CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY.] But if the dangers of the evil contest which I have supposed could be avoided, separation or amalgamation is the onljT peaceful alternative, if it were possible to effectuate the project of abolition. The abolitionists oppose all colonization, and it irresistibly follows, whatever they may protest or declare, that they are in favor of amalgamation. And who are to bring about this amalgamation? I have heard of none of these ultra abolitionists furnishing in their own families or persons examples of intermarriage. Who is to begin it? Is it their purpose not only to create a pinching competition between black labor and white labor, but do they intend also to contaminate the industrious and laboring classes of society at the north, by a revolting admixture of the black element?

It is frequently asked, what is to become of the African race among us? Are they for ever to remain in bondage? That question was asked more than half a centuary ago. It has been answered by fifty years of prosperity, but little chequered from this cause. It will be i^peated fifty or a hundred years hence. The true answer is, that the same Providence who has hitherto guided and governed us, and avertea all serious evils from the existing relation between the two races, will guide and

fay

overn our posterity. Sufficient to the is the evil thereof. We have hitherto, with that blessing, taken care of ourselves. Posterity will find the means of its own preservation and prosperity. Itis only in the most direful event which can befal this people that this great interest, and all other of our greatest interests would be put in jeopardy. Although in particular districts the black population is gaining upon the white, it only constitutes one fifth of the whole population of the United States. And taking the aggregates of the two races,

European is constantly, though

the slowly, gaining upon the African portion. This fact is demonstrated by the periodical returns of our population. Let us pease, then, to indulge in gloomy

forebodings about the impenetrable fu« ture. But, if we may attempt to lift' the vail, and contemplate what lies beyond it, I, too, have*ventured on a speculative theory, with which I will not now trouble you, but which has been published to the worldJ^Accordi ng to that, in the progress of time, some one hundred and fifty or two hundred years hence, but few vestiges of the black race' will remain among our posterity.

among those very western people, who, it was ajpptehended, would be the first to burst its ties.

The other cause, domestic slavery, happily the sole remaining cause which is likely to disturb our harmony, continues to exist. It was this which created the greatest obstacle and the most anxious solicitude in the deliberations of the convention that adopted

!h0KCO^l,OO,nStitl"iOn'

as one with which the general government could not be invested without planting the seeds of certain destruction. There let it remain undisturbed by any unhallowed hand.

Sir, I am not in the habit of speaking lightly of the possibility of dissolving this happy Union. The Senate knows that I have deprecated allusions, on ordinary occasions, to that direful event. The country will testify that, if there be any thing in the hutory of my public career worthy of recolleciion, it is the truth and sinccriiy of ra ardent devotion to its lasting preservation. But we should be false in our allegiance to it, if we did notdiscriminatr between the imaginary and real dangers by which it may be assailed. Abolition should no longer be regarded as an imaginary danger. "The abolitionists, let me suppose, succeed in their present aim of uniting the inhabitants of the free states as one man, against the inhabitants of the slave states. Union on the one side will beget union on the other. And this process of reciprocal consolidation will be attended with all the violent prejudices, embittered passions, land implacable animosities which ever degraded or deformed human nat ure. A virtual dissolution of the Union will have taken place, while the forms of its existence remain. The most valuable element of union, mutual kindness, the feelings of sympathy, the fraternal bonds, which now happily unite us, will have been extinguished for ever.

One section will stand in menacing and hostile array against the other. The collision of opinion will be quickly fol-! lowed by the clash of arms. I will not attempt to describe scrnes which now happily lie concealed from our vi w. Abolitionists themselves would shrink back in dismay and horror at the contemplation of desolated fields, conflagrated cities, murdered inhabitants, and the overthrow of the fairest fabric of human government that ever rose to animate the hopes of civilized man. Nor should these abolitionists flatter themselves that, if they can succeed in their object of uniting the people of the free states, they will enter the contest with numercial superiority that must ensure victory. All history and experience proves the hazards and uncertainty of war. And we are admonished by holy writ that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. But if they were to conquer, whom would they conquer? A foreign foe— one who had insulted our flag, invaded our shores, and laid our country waste?

No, sir: no, sir. It would be a conquest without laurels, without glory—a self, a suicidal conquest, a conquest of brothers over brothers, achieved by one over
