A GEM
Of oM English Poetry.
Shull I, wasting in despair,
Die, because another's fair?
Or n ike pale my chock with care,
Taue another's rosy are
Fcshe fVirrr than the day.
Or the nvery mead? in May,
be U'it so to mr
What care I how fair she be
Should my h art he giiev'd or piu'd
'Cause I see a woman kind,
On well disposed nature,
J.,ir.ed with a lovely feature !
o fh1 merker, kinder than
Turi'e dove rr pelican,
If she be not so to me,
hat care 1 how kind she be ?
Shall n woman's virtue move
Me to perish f r her love;
Or her well deservings known,
Make ir.e quite forget my own ?
Be she with that goodness blest,
W'nieh may gain her name of best;
If she he not so to me,
hat care I how good she be 1
Cause her fortune seems too high,
Shall I play the fool and die!
Th"se that bear a noble niie.d.
Where they want of riches find,
Think what with them they would do.
That without them dare to woo 1
And. unless that mind I see,
What care I though great she be?
Great or good, or kind or f lir,
I will ne'er the more despair;
If she loves me, this believe,
I will die ere she shall gr.:eve ;
If she slight mc when I woo,
I can scorn and let her go;
For if she be not for me,
What care I for whom she be 1

MR. CLAY AND HIS FIFTY
.MIL-
LION HID.
The pioject of Mr. Clay for a fifty mil
lion h ink in New York, with Albei t Gal
latin for president of ii, seems to he gene
rally understood io the sarn v i v as a
farewell to Mr Middle's bank nod the
Stale of Pennsylvania, and an overture lo
New York anil Mr. Gallatin. It sterns lo
be looked upon as a bid to New York for
her f.uty-two Presidential votes; and, in
that point of view, is enough to shock and
li'Miiliate the moral sens? of the communi
ty It was bad enough to bid for Penu
svlv,i:iia with an offer of a thirty-five mil
lion h mk; but to quit that when hij found
Mr. Middle notable to succeed for him in
Pennsylvania, and push in to Mr. Van Bu-j
ren s own State, and there offer a bank ol
ft'ty millions, was carrying the business of
undermining a competitor, and opening an
auction for the Presidency, to nbom as
great a height as lite most degenerate days
of old and delmiched governments had
ever seen. It is really shocking and af
flu ting to see such things in our young
Republic.
Mr. STRANGE, of North Cirolina,
made some patriotic remarks on litis sub
ject some days ago. Without naming, or
particularly describing, Mr. Clay, he drew
pictures which no one could fail lo apply,
and gave it as his opinion that the Consti
tution ought to be amended, so as to pre
vent members of Congress from being eli
gible to the Presidency for a certain num
ber of years after their membership ceased.
Such is the faie of Mr. Clay. When
Speaker of the House of Representatives
he work so openly to put up himself and
pull down his competitors, that the coun
try begin to think that no Speaker of the
House of Representatives ought to be eli
gible lo the Presidency. When he be
came Secretary under Mr. Adams, and had
got into the 7in of safe precedents " he
played his hand so boldly for the same
purpose, that all agreed no Secretary ol
State ought ever lo be allowed to be a can
didate for the Presidency. Now that he
has got lo be a Senator, it is still the same
on his pirt. and ihe same judgment on the
part of the public.
Tarbovough,
Surelv tin mm !
r ' ouern times and in a
free country, has ever defied public opin
ion and insulted public decency as Mr.
Clay has done. For fourteen years he
availed himself of his public station to
bid lor I residential votes, merely varying
the bids as ti.nesand circumstances change,
bora long time it was high tariff and in
ternal improvement; then it was distribu
tion of U,e public land money; then it was
buhl e s bank; and now it is H,e ni,,e hun
dred local banks, and a filly million Na
ti mul Hank in New York. All ihese suc
cessive biddings liave had their turns, and,
tor the lime being, each scheme was pufftd
ofi m the same identical phrases, and pre
sented as the sole means of saving the
country from instant and total destruction
Auxiliary to ihis bidding for votes, was a
system of attack carried on against other
candidates for the Presidency." To attack
their characters, principles, and conduct,
has been his daily and notorious avocation.
Time was uiili all Presidential candidates,
when thfy would scorn to electioneer lor
themselves in ihe most innoceui measure,
much less to bid for it wiih public inonev,
or to undermine and calumniate a rival,
Time is when some candidates will do nth
wise. The Washiugtous, ihe J ff.-rsons,
the Madis.nis, the J acksons, & . were and
Mr. Van H iren isan instant ei pure hand
ed candidates. None of ihese hai adeis
were ever seen bidding for votes out ol the
public Treasury, or by the oiler of tanlV ,
roads, canals, division of money, m banks.,
to Pennsylvania, or to New Yoik, or to
some other State. None ol'ti.cse chanc
ers were ever seen in ihe Senate, or the
II oise of Repi tsentaiivts, at b arbecues, oi
public dinners, attat king, impeaching, villi
lyiug, degrading, ridiculing, and calumnia
ting his competitors. They did none ol
these things. It was left lor Mr. ( lay to
set urh an example, and to follow it for
lourtecn years. Three limes he has been
signally rebuked, we may say four times;
for, alier his venomous attacks upon Gene
ral Jackson, he was too much lowered in
the public estimation even to be allowed lo
be a candidate. How it will be now we
cannot say. Certain it is his own parly is
loath lo lake him for a candidate; and if
they do, the voice of ihe people will give
the rebuke which his conduct deserves.
This country is too y onug to have the Pre
sidency put at auction. The nine hun
died local banks are powerful, but the
may not take the bid. Fifiy millions to
New Yoik is m igninVent a truly imperial
bid but she may despise it.
The (Jhcrohtes. The Message of the
President in relation to this tnbe of In

execution of the Treaty, it is certain thai
Georgia will proceed to lake possession ol
the Territory ceded. The Slate million
ties, no doubt, authorized entries on es

Treaties; and il seems to us useless lo dis
cuss the in liter now. Ii can but lead to
violent excit-ments of Heeling, if not to
something worse. Already the tomahau k
is lifted in Georgia blood has been shed;
and popular excesses may be anticipated.
which this inflammatory discosmn eniiy
calculated lo increase. We see no good
that possibly can come of it.
A to threats employ ed against the Slate
by speakers in C -ingress, they aiv out of
lime, and can have no possible iullueuce.
Federalism has tried menaces belore, but
aUays without effect Mr. Wise, we were
sorry lo hear, declared he would not give
a Cij. for the Government if it had not ihe
rinut lo compel the States to bow to its de-
cision. "The majority has the right," he
is reported to have sanl "to castigate ihe
minority into submission by the whole
power of the Judiciary, the army and Hie
Navy of Ihe Uoited Stales!" In sooth,
this is going a bow shot beyond Messrs.
Adams, sen , Webster, Otis, and Clay.
This is worse than Federalism it is cen
tral despotism. But the mantle of Whig
covers the offence, or sanctifies itGeor

I lie gold region is lar more extensive in
the South than is gmerally supposed. It
commences in Virginia, and extends South
West through North Carolina along the
northern part of South Carolinainto Geor
gia, and ihence northwestardly into Ala
bama and ends in Tennessee. In 1S31,
the whole "number of men employed at the
Gold Mines in the Southern Stales was
estimated at $20,000. The weekly product
of the mines was then about $100,000 in
value, or $5 000,000 annually. But a
small part of ihe gold is sent to the U. S,
mini; by far the larger pari is sent to Eu
rope, particularly to Paris. The Gold
M ines of Virginia have only attracted at
tention since 1827, and the first Gold no

Virginia was in 1S29, amounting to $2,
