God rests upon your country. No, sir, I believe, if your good democrats knew it, Id lose at least a dozen votes. Do vou know, sir, that the ornaments over the Speaker's chair cost near two thousand dollars? Now, sir, here is a silk velvet chair, surrounded hy ornaments of "bullion fringe, silk worsted, and India satin damask," with silk tassels, thirty-five dollars a pair, and all by democratic orders! There is nothing equal to it, sir except the rooms of Eastern monarchs, or the fashion able parlors of pet Sub-1 reaurt rs . Then, sir, go to the Senate the demo cratic Senate and look at the Vice Presi dent ! Look at the distinguished man from the Great Crossings'- There he sits, sir, as happy as Governor Sancho. with a cano py over his head, and a golden eagle, who seem to be endeavoring to wing his flight out of such company. This eagle and ca nopy, 1 learn, sir, cost more than two thousand dollars! Poor bird! fluttering like a chicken in apprehension of a hot grid iron! These tawdry ornaments are revolt ing, are disgusting, 1 might say, to plain A merican taste. It is to be regretted, how over, sir, that they did not bring their da mask covering a little lower down, so as to screen the occupant of that chair entirely from observation. There seems to have been a desire, in the arrangement, to keep him back a little to put him out of the way. I could not but make another melancho ly observation, iMr. Speaker, as my eyes rested on this flaunting exhibition of loco foco taste. The picture of the runner of his country of Washington is removed from the place now occupied by the iron bars which hold the gilded bird; is taken away from its position anil placed back in the gal lery, among the people, out of sight, sir, as his precepts are of a majority of that body. Before, one who visited the Senate was in voluntarily forced to say, "look on that picture, and on this.' Well, might the friends of the present occupant of that seat shrink from such a comparison! i3ut, Mr. Speaker, I fervently hope and believe that the time is fast coming when the character of that great man (Washing ton) will be dear to the Representatives of the People, as it has been, and still is, to the people themselves. Then, sir, lorofo coism will disappear, and our republican institutions will be renovated; then, sir, and not till then, will our Government be hon estly administered. Mr. Speaker, 1 thank the House for its kind indulgence; 1 uid not intend to have trespassed half so long. But f;r frequent interruptions I should have been less exci ted, and therefore would have said less. I promised the gentleman from Pennsyl vania to move the Previous Question. 1 do this, therefore, sir, because 1 made the promise. I do it with great reluctance, and shall vote it against it myself, if the gentleman will permit it. I will most cheerfully withdraw it. Mr. Peiriken would not consent. I regret, sir, to de prive the Representative from Ohio of an opportunity of replying. I thank the gen tleman from Pennsylvania for the courtesy extended to me, and move the Previous Question. em interests, Mr. Stanly ten. hunt up, with the assistance of the aforesaid "gen tleman from Vermont," a document pre pared for a different place, can torture exnressions applied to the effects of slavery so as to apply to abolitionism, suppressing those narts directly relating to that sunjeci, and abuse him in an outrageous and insult- in manner. Had this document been pro fessedly a speech delivered in Congress, the ire of Mr. Stanly might have been justly roused; but it being addressed to abolition isls and non-slaveholders, we are of the opinion, that Mr. Stanly's remarks were entirely misplaced, as well as being impoli tic and uniust. But we will insert in our next paper, the opinions of Mr. Duncan on this speech and its author, as published in the Globe, he being prevented from reply ing to it in Congress and will follow it with Mr. Stanly's rejoinder, that our read ers may have the whole matter before I htm. Mr. Stanly eulogizes Hon. Henry May, and speaks of him as a "favorite of the Mr. CI nv mav be a favorite of k.'vimi. -j the Southern federal bank whigs, but he is not, nor never will be, of the Southern de mocracy. They cannot forget that he was the father of the American System, embra cing an oppressive tariff and expensive in ternal improvements; which operated so disastrously on the South, that it brought the country to the verge of a civil war and which must be again brought forward for further action in the next Presidential term. Nor can they forget his exertions in favor of the late U. S. Hank nor his re cent declaration in favor of a fifty million bank, of which he can with propriety- claim the Maternity, should it ever have ex- istence. Mr. Clay may not now be an a bo litionist, but the following cxtractstrom h s "Life," as published by his friend and bi ographer, Mr. Prentice, will show that from his early exertions in favor of the "eradication of ."l ivery," he may in truth and verity also claim the paternity of aboli tionism; and mount it as a hobby for the Presidency, as he has done the American System and now does the bank question, should it be considered so available for th t office, as it is at present in the Northern Stales for State offices and for Congress. Mr. Prentice says: " The commencement of Mr. Clay's po litical jcareer may be dated as far back as the year 1797 a period at which he had scarcely began the practice of iaw. The people of Kentucky weie then about to elect a Convention to frame a new Consti tution for the Stale; and one feature of the plan, which had been submitted to ihem was a provision for the final emancipa tion of the slave population i he strong est prejudices of a majority of the people of every prt of the State, were arrayed a gainst this me.isure, and Mr. Clay was aware of the fact, but las sentiments and his feelings were on the side of emanci pation; and without taking a moment's heed to his popularity, he entered into the defence of his favorite policy, with all the deep and unquenchable ardor of his nature. His vigorous pen was busy in the public journals aim nis cioqueiu vimu was raiMi in almost every assemblage, in lavor ol the election of men to the Convention, who would contend for the eradication of sla very first political labors to establish, may well be a source of pride to him, and honest ex ultation to his friends. fiPThe Washington Republican of Tuesday last, contains the proceedings ot a public meeting of the Republicans of Beau fort county, held in that place on the 8th inst. at which delegates were appointed to attend the proposed Convention in this Con gressional district. We shall soon give the proceedings a place in our columns. It is quite cheering to see such a resolute and determined spirit manifesting itself among the Republicans of the district. 53 We have received the first number of the "Wilmington Weekly Chronicle," recently established in that town, by Mr. A. A. Brown. The Editor says, his pre fcrences are with the whig party. JThe troubles in Maine we are hap py to state, have been arrested in their pro gress, and will await the action of the gov ernmcnts. TiY AUTIIOKIT1M SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1S39. (JWe conclude in this paper the re marks of Hon. E;l. Stanly. Much as we Lject to the manner and matter of this speech, we determined to give it publicity, that our readers might duly appreciate this impotent attempt to make the worse appear the better reason. Strip this speech of its rank abuse, and what does it amount to? Simply that Mr. Stanly could not vote for anli-abwlition resolutions, though support ed by nearly he entire Southern delega tion, because they were also sustained by a northern member, who in reply to queries propounded to him at home by abolitionists, had given a highly colored picture of what he conceived to be the moral and physical effects of slavery, at the same time that he deprecated the conduct of the abolition ists dnd because the brother of a public officer is an abolitionist. This is the head and front of Mr. Stanly's justification of his extraordinary conduct on that occasion. Mr. Stanly can vote with his whig friends on "all sorts ot subjects," although he ad mits that "some of them are abolitionists-" and can treat with courtesy and respect the "gentleman from Massachusetts," and the "gentleman from Vermont," notwithstan ding their active exertions in favor of the abolitionists, and against the most vital in terests of his constituents but when a nor them democrat presumes to sustain South ling and paradoxical character of his opin-1 jsauci eight hundred and thirty six, tour ions, man me result oi a cairn anu ueiioe-: hundred and ninety thousand ana eighty rate conviction of right.

'The minstrel boy" to "Tarbry town" come, In the streets of the village we found him; With cimbal and quills sweetly playing "Sweet Home," He drew all the citizens around him. Like Orpheus of old so sweet were his strains, The cattle and swine went to prancing; The horses in extacy threw up their manes. And the cats and the dogs went to dancingt Minstrel, farewell! too short did you tarry, Your music began to awaken "love's dream;" Old bachelors who had neglected to marry, A faint ray of love from their eye 'gan to beam. Minstrel, farewell! good fortune betide thee, Wherever you go sound loudly thy quills; Grind like a hero thy cimbal beside thee, And wake up the "gals" as you pass o'er the hills. And wake up old boys from their wretched con dition, Let thy music inspire them with love for the fair, Being alone in this world is earthly perdition, From which let thy strains rescue their gray hair.
