“A day or two before the nomination
of Mr. Clay to the cfiice of Secretary of
Slate was acted on by tlie Sctiate, I was
retiuested by that getitleman to move for
a committee of inquiry into his conduct,
in relation lo the then recent election of
President, if any thing should occur in
my opinion to make it necessary. Mr.
Clay repeated the application on the day
that the nomination was taken up by the
Senate, with great earnestness, and o!>-
tained my promise that I would comply
with his request. From the position
which I occupied in Senate Chamber, be
ing somewhat in the rear of that of Mr.
liranch, I did not distinctly hear the
greater part of his speccb in opposiiion
to ihe appointment. Fearing that I
might have misunderstood him, and not
wishing to rely entirely on my ownjudf^-
ment, in a matter i'> which another was
so materially concerned, I applied to
Mr. Lloyil, of Mass. who sat near to and
directly in front of Mr. Ijranch, to know
whetlier, in his opinion, any thing had
been suid by Mr. li. which would render
it proper to move for an inquiry. Mr.
Lloyd answered, that nothing bad fallen
from Mr. B. which would make a motion
oftluitjkind necessary; and the same opin
ion was expressed to me by at least one
other Senator. I therefore gave up the
dea of moving for an in\estigation.—
The speech of Mr. Branch, which was
published by himself some time ago, is,
I have no doubt, as correct a statement as
he coxild make of what he delivered to
the Senate. But I must confess that,
even at this time, I can see nothing in
it which would have induced me to have
adopted a dilferent course. It appears
10 me, that I should neither have consult
ed the public interest, nor the honor of
Mr. Clay, in calling for an inquiry, when
the accuser—if accuser he can be called
declared that he had no proof to offer,
but whai each member of the Senate, and
every one else, possessed.
“ On the day that the nomination was
acted on by the Senate, or on the suc
ceeding one, I informed Mr. Clay that
nothing had passed in the Senate which
made it necessary lo move for the in
vestigation which he had solicited. The
assertion of the fact by Mr. Branch, is
suflicient evidence to me, tf.at several of
the Senators who voted with him against
Mr. Clay’s appointment, were governed
by the sastie motives and feelings towards
that gentleman which actuated him.
Such was not the case, however, in re
lation to his colleague. For soon after
the vote had been taken, Mr. Macon ap
proached me, anti observed, that he had
not been inOuenced in ojiposing Mr.
C.May’s appointment, by any diminution
of his ronjidrnct in his intfprity, but solely
on tbejjround of the latitude of construc
tion which he had given to the Constitu
tion. Believing that it was the intention
of Mr. Maron, that I should communi
cate tfiis oI)servation ‘to Mr. Clay, and
kr»o\v!ng the pleasure that it would give
to the luiter to find that he still possessed
the esteem of iiis old friend and associate,
I did not fail to mention this also to Mr.
Clay.
“ W. II. HARRISON.”
mills} something over a hundred are
here employed, about one fifth females,
and one fifth boys. The machine sho^
is of the same dimensions as the mills*
and gives employment to about 180
mechanics.”
“ The company to whom the machine
shop belongs, have a large tract of land,
and an immense water power, and are
prepared to furnish machinery of all
descriptions at short notice, and erect th©
necessary buildings. They have lateiy
contracted lo erect two mills, 155 by 44,
near the same, and furnish the machinery
capable of making three millions of yard%
of cloth, yard wide, of No. 14 yarn, pei*
annum, to build 30 three story brick
tenements, agent’s house, and out build
ings, lo furnish 8 acres of land, and am
ple water power, and to put the same iti
operation, for about 300,000 dollars.
Besides those steadily employed in the
mills, about 150 mechanics, such a?t
masons, carpenters, &c. find constant
work. The amount of capital actually
invested is g2.400,000, viz.

With respect to the appreciation o£
land, I will iDcniion a fact: I purcha.^ed,
in 1822, nine-tenths undivided, of a farm
of 110 acres, for Rl, 100. The owner of
the other onetenili had agreed to convey
it for g200 ; but dying suddenly insolvent,
it was sold by order of the court, and I
gave for seven and a half tenths of hi»
one tenth, upwards of gJ,000. All his
debts b'^ing satisfied, the remainder was
sold a year afterwards for the benefit of
minor children, for nearly g5,000. Lund
favorably situated, is worth 15 cents ^
foot, and vhere are a few spots that would
command 50. In 1822, tlie whole popu*-
ation of that part of Chelmsford whicli
now constitutes Lowell, did not, exclusiv«
of Mr. Hurd’s mill,exceed 100 jit isno>ir
probably 5,000. The solitary store-
keeper of 1822, is now surrounded by nu
merous rivals, and there are few luxuries,
and no necessaries, that sharp competi
tion among the dealers does not enable
the consumer lo purchase as cheap ia
Lowell as he can in Boston.’*

1 he villutre of l.owell, (Mass.) is remarkable
for the number of Manufacturing establish

cannot be uninteresting:
“There are now in full operation at
Lowell, six cotton mills, four stories high,
155 feet by 44, containing 25,000 spindles,

The operations ofintellect are not so
strikingly perceptible as those of physical
force. Moral effects are gent rally com
prehensive, powerful and efficient, al
though ihey are quiet in their course and
gradual in their step towards perfection.
They are not noticed by the physical
organs of vision, and are not accompanied
in their course by the glitter of pageantry
or the flattering ffaze and shoutings ol*
wonder-struck multitudes, but pass alor/g
the “even tenor of their way” with con
stant, persevering, stately stepping, im
provement on every side, as lasting me
mentos of their estimable character.
Times have been when deeds of lesser
worth and greater have outshone lor
a short time the lasting lustre of intel
lectual achievements, which have beet*
brightened by the hand of time and hal
lowed by after ages. As wc turn over
the pages of the histories of past times,
we estimate the charactets of statesmen
higher than those of warriors.—It is not
he who was engaged in bloody contests,
or who spread terror and dismay, by his
ferocious or fearless disposition, througli
surrounding nations, that calls forth our
highest approbation ; but he whose truth
and talents cheiished peace and amity
with neighboring states; who cultivated
internal quietness, domestic industry,
arts, sciences, education, morality and
religion ; w'hose policy was peaceful, yet
intellectually energetic; he it is whonit
we love, reverence, and cite as a
bright exemplar for the present day.
In the days of our Revolution a vas*:
majority of our citizens thought thatal!
our success flowed from the brandishing*
of the sword and the lightnings of the
cannon. Time has convinced them of
such error. The soul, the sustaining:
power of our country, was concentrated
in our early Congresses and Assembliesr
where intelligent and mif^hty minds cai:«>
vassed with intellectual vigor, the inter"
ests and resources of the country, and
projected those plans and cherishr.!
principles which consummated our In
dependence. Our army and commar>
ders did much, but our statesmen dia
more. Our Revolutionary Gencralfr
were mot e extolled than our Statesmen-,
because their deeds were more visible to
the naked eye. But did they deserve
