Adams, Jackson and Clay. BY HON. II. W. THOMPSON. Hon. II. V. TbompRou, Secretary of the United States Navy, delivered a lecture recently in tbe First Meth odist Kpiseopdl Chartb, Baltimore, on Peraonal Ilecollections of Adam.. Jackson and Clay." It was tor tbe bentfil cf tbe preachers' fond of tbe Baltimore Conference. Tbe lecture was beautifully written, for cibly, and almost eloquently, deliv ered, replete with passages contaiu lug tiattona! sentiments that were applauded, and showed tbat the Ifcturer must have seen much of the three crcat men. The lecturer spoke almost entirely of the ier8on- al qualification, fitness for office, motivestoaction.and relative agree ments and differences of tbe three. Tbe most of tbe lecture was given over to Adams, and the lecturer's imprrions of bis strength and masterly eloquence as witnessed in hi. tnumnh over tbe effort to cen sure hini in February 1837 for send- in up iu Congress a petition pur porting to come from slaves. In that famous trial bis vindication of himself was thorough and complete. Gilmor. .Marshall and ise were as children iu tbe bands of a giant. His reference to tbe events of bis own career anu ine service up uau ... . r I. I .1 l-en to hi.- country was mostinter- etittnir. hven .Marshall couiu not but express bis admiration. ben he pjoke of his services as Minister to Ilussia he was greeted witn tre- mt-nduus applause. His trinmpti was a creat blow to Gilmor. ise and Marshal!. He was a man of un faltering courage and most indomi- tabli will. The first time I saw Jackson, id thv l-ctnrer, " was on tbe 8th A January, 181'7 fiy-iire years a a r a a iro. lie uau ien ui tuu ior me t riiid.ncv three jcar b K re, and was runiiHiir again. I saw him ride by ou his way from tbe Hermitage to tbe I'elrbration of the victory ol New Oil -ins, and tbe impresnon made uhu me was that he belong ed to that clat ot men wno are htamed great even by nature. He was beautiful rider, wnicn Is a grMl deal to me, as I was born in Virginia, and tbere they measure a ". a t . mans capacity uy uis eierines and grace in the saddle. (Laugh ter.) I do not think I ever met a more dignified or graceful man than Andrew Jackson. Tbe next time I . . . Saw mm was ai nis inauguration, and my father, wbo introdnced me, to'.d me then that I was getting on tbe other tolitica! side alreadv. In stead of lecturiug me, as I supposed he would, Jackson put bis band on my bead and said. Whatever your iKilitics, tbiuk always lor yourself, and let conscience be your invaria ble guide. Of course, my impres sions ot a mau like this could not be otherwise thau good. Iu this respect, at least, I bave been a Jack son mau ever since. After he re constructed hi cabinet, it represen ted a unity cf (tower such as no oth er mau com a nave uroagni togeiu- r but himself. From that time he (tamped his name upou tbe institu tions of this country as tew men bad before him, and none have since. What matter if he did not write hi nullification proclamation, which came from the graceful pen of Liv Ingston. Washington did not write all of his inaugural address, and even Jefferson is accased of plagiar mng a part of the Declaration o Independence, united States sena tors and other publio men often de liver speeches and stand as tbe an thors of documents, tbat are prepar ed by others. The men associated with Clay are so rapidly passing away that he wil soon be known only by his printed speeches. His nre and pathos, and power and manner of delivery can never be pat on paper. He Beemed to strike and play upon all tbe chords of the human heart. His were high qualities of mind and united in the most remarkable way. He acquired such mastery over an audience that he could move it at his will. He had, as has been wel said, the thunder and lightning o eloquence.- He had not the bright and polished diction of Burke, nor tbe chaste and classic style of Web ster ; bat his speeches were tbe out pourings of his nature, and attain ed the very highest standard of ora tory. His speeches have much in common with those of Demosthenes. In them we look in vain for tbat superfluity of brilliancy that comes from a speaker wbo is fuller of him self than he is of his subject. His devotion to truth, and his perfect knowledge oftbe philosophy of gov ernment, were the greatest sources of his power. Reminiscence of North Caro linians. E. J. Hale, Sr., writes to Hale's Ilateigh Weekly as follows: 'Some fifty years ago, wheu Judge Daniel was holding the Sup erior Courts iu oar State, he al wa s inquired, wheu trying a case of as sault and battery, whether it had been 'a fair figbt or as he express ed it "a far fight, being from Hal ifax county, wbere tbe v irginian pronunciation was customary and be governed tbe measure of penal ty according to the evidence on tbat point. A Judge of like mind has just tnroed up iu England, Lord Justice Brett, who. iu trying acasewnere two young rarmers a f had fought, aud one struck tbe other in tbe stomach and kicked him when he was down, death resul ting in about an hour, "lamented the degeneracy of our times. He conld remember when in no village in Lugland would a man fight un fairly, for if he did every one would scout him; but now Lughsbmeu fought like cowards. Although fighting was contrary to law, he bad made up his mind tbat if a man fought fairly he would not punish him should an accident result from the fight ; but in this case of unfair ness he sen'enced the defendant to two months' imprisonment. A very light punishment, it seems to me. loa remember, of course, poor John Guthrie's bill in oar Legis lature on this fighting subject. Col. Watson of Itobeson, bad in troduced a bill to prohibit indict ments for slight cases of assault and battery. Guthrie ridiculed it out of tbe House by a bill the title ot which indicated its character, viz: "A bill to enable the free peo pie of North Carolina to fight there battles in peace." Thus Col. Wat- son, oy tne way, got to ne known as tbe huckleberry Colonel," in consequence of a speech he made to the 'free people" of Hobeson, during tbe Harrison catnpaigu in 1810, in which he asserted that 'Gen. Hartison did not fight the battle of Tippeoanoe at all, but was at tbe time in the swamps picking huckleberries." His opponent I am not sure but that it was Gov. Morehead took tbe wind out of bis sails by asking how it happened that one con'd find huckleberries to to pick in that cold climate in the depth of winter! I think ths Col onel, who was a good natnred man, rather enjoyed the joke though it was at his own expense. Thinking of Judge Daniel and his "far fight," reminds me of an incident in the same "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" campaign of 1810. Morehead and Saunders, the rival candidates for Governor, were both from tbe Virginia border, and both addicted to the irgmia pronuncia tion. Gov. Mortbtad ( .ot tbn Governor however,) had mle some statement of fact, wLich Saundeis challenged with au emphatic "Whar r-r does the gentleman get authority ior that F To which Morehead replied, "Tbar-r-r it is, pointing to the document, liut there were giauts in those days if they did abuse tbe Queen's Eug- lish." New York Lady in Wash ington City. From tbe O'ole-Democrat. Mrs. Hicks-Lord visited the Na tional Capital during the month of February, and took rooms at tue National Hotel, paid a visit of a few days to Justice Waite's family, and returned qntetiy to ner.inn. jo ar.nooticemenl ot her presence in the city has been made, and, attend ed bv a colored man servant ana maid, she lives entirely aloof from the crowd that is so near her. In tbe privacy of her apartments she tAkes her solitary meals. No gloved flunky at the doorway or liveried carriage at tbe curt) announces ner presence, and few people in me ... e house know tbat tue large, one lookiog woman in the deepest mourning, who passe occasionally through the halls, is the celebrated widow of 31 r. Lord. Her presence is striking and com mands attention everywhere. Even Aiexauder Stephens.: poor, little, shrivelled, suffering man, looked with interest at the superb figure and proud face of the lady wbo swept aside her crape draperies and waited for him to pass, as be came slowly down the steps on the arm ot ma colored valet. Chief Justice Waite in his Toledo days was the confidential adviser o Mr. Hicks, and had! the manage ment of his property here, so that his acquaintance with; Mrs. Lord is ot some standiner. i Uer visit here is preparatory to her departure for Europe, where she goes to pay a round of visits at Eng lish coontry houses, and it will be some -' time before her ! return to America. i Rumor ad it- tbat ah -was soon to marry Charles O'Conor, but that is denied, and the great jorist seems to nave been snatched from death for some other end.

The "abomination of wigs" was first adopted by the Dlike of Anjou to conceal a personal defect Charles the Seventh of France in trounced long coats to hide his ill made legs. The" ' absurdly loug pointed shoes, often two feet in length, were introdnced by Henry riantagenet to cover a very large excrescence ne bad ou one of his feet. When Francis I, was obliged to wear bis hair short on account of a wound in bis head, tbe crop be came the lasbion ot his court. Louis XL of France had the temeri'y to crop his hair and sbave his beard at a time when fashion die tMtd ambrosial locks 'and flowing beard. What was the consequence f His queen, Lleanor of Aquitaine.dis gusted at such contempt of appear ances, rested not until she procured a divorce and married jhe Count of Anjou, afterward King of England. Is it too much to suppose that the interminable wars which followed upon this alliance, were brought about primarily by th0 injudicious conduct of King Louis f Who will say, looking upon these and like facts, tbat fashion is to be contemn ed, or tbat her changes are un worthy the historian's inote or ther philosopher's attention f 1 As for the popnlar mind, tbat is, with its usnal sagacity, keenly alive to anything relating to so important a subject as drees, as is at once proven by the a ft common remarg in severvuoay s mouth, of knowing a man by the style of his coat; or,! as Captain Cuttle wonld put it, 4by the cut of his jib." ! First among fashionable follies on the score of absurdity come the rnnk hose, which were thought iu- dispensable about the; middle of Queen Elizabeth's reigc. The coat is what the dandy ot our times most prides himself on. From the time of Henry VIII. of Lnglaud, and for the three succeeding ! reigns, bis breeches were the objects of a young man's chief solicitude, i From a pic- ure of James the First of England, n hunting costume, it-will be Been that "the great, round, i abominable breech," as it was styled, then taper,- ed down to the knee, and was slashed all over aud covered with embroidery aud lace. Stays were sometimes worn beneath the long- waisted doublets of the gentlemen to keep tbem straight and confiue hem at the waist. We read ol breeches "almost capable of a bush el of wheat," aud of alterations which bad to be made in theBtitish irliameut House to afford addi tional accommodations bjr the mem bers' seats. It is related of a last voung man of the time,!that, ou ris- ng to conclude a visit or ceremony, ne uau me misioriuuo, to uaujagc bis nether integumeuts by a pro- rudiug nail in his chair, so tbat by be time he gained tbe door tue ts- ape of bran was so rapid as to ause a state of complete collapse. We learn that a dandy of 1G1C w ore tall hat with a bunch of ribbon on one side and a feather on tbe other, his face spotted with patches, two ove-locks, one on each 'side ot nis head, which hang down npou his osom and are tied with silk nDoons u bows A mustache encompassed .

His breeches were adorn- !..l with "mnv dozens of points at the kuees, and above these, on either side, were two great bunches of rib bon, of several colors.1 His legs were encased in "boot! hose tops, tied above tbe middle of tbe calf, as long as a pair of shirt sleeves, and double at tbe ends like ia ruff band. Tbe tops of his boots were very large, lringed with lace, and turned down as low as his spurs." In his right hand he carried a stick, which he "played with as tie straddled along the street, singiug." With snch boots "straildling"j was an un graceful necessity. A jortrait ot Sir William Kusell, one of Queen Elizabeth's most distinguished courtiers, give some idea of the style of dress among the gentlemen of the latter part ofherreigu.) In his im mense ruff his "pease-cod bellied doublet" of thickly quilted black silk, slashed sleeve, showing a rich lace undergarment. With Venetiau hose and stockings of fiuest yarn, the dandy of those days seems to have been an exceedingly stiff. and ungainly figure. Sleeves were, while in the mode, a very recherche article of dress. They were made I I ..'!! i ' ' . D . . 1 separate from the garmentf and were often of great splendor?! Henry VIII. was remarkable forfiis splen did sleeves. Garters, alsf were a most fashionable male Ornament." They were worn externally below the knee, and became so jfxpensive and yet so common a luxury, that we read of men of mean rnk wear ing garters and shoe rosesf of more than five pounds in. valte. They were made of gold and sitfer, satin and velvet, often . deeply : 'lringed with gold. ' h . Tbe Prince of Wales, j-wbo was afterwards George IV., w the first to conntenance buckskin breeches as an indispensable fashionable morning garment.

"J;"" G. W. Smalley in New York-Tribone, Her Majesty acknowledges the grave greeting of . her lieges by scarcely more than a.glamse ot the eye. The head beut slightiyiperhaps, but lam not sure. She, too, walks slowly; there is no vulgar hurry about any part of tbe bus-) 6 ess. As she rounds the corner of 4he dais, her face is turned full tofard oar gallery. It is the business of coar tiers to say that the Queen looks always well. For my part, I thought sue had grown gray since last I saw her, and that the lines vf tbe temples and about the ; month were cut deeper than evet.' It can never have been more than a comely face, and there is nothing, strictly speaking, in its coutour, ind noth ing in the figure, which cA'u be cal led beaetiful. or uoblC : Wrhat strikes von. nevertheU'Ss.?is the air of authority and the air y stern sin cerity which sits upen shis royal brow and marks the lea&t gesture oftbe Queen. The sadness of the face is profuuud!y touching; the dignity with which tfce j burden the all but iutolerable aurden of her life is borne, appeals to yonr respects She is here, they say, to make once more her sympathy with the First Miuister of tlffe Crown; and with the party vrhfroby under his guidance, has been leading this country so stranee a daico these three years past. But politics are forgotten iu such a preinee'; and any criticism one has to Mer is pot decently aside so long al t ho wor mau and the Queen is hCfe. I When she. had seated Perself up on the royal robes spreail' oyer the hrone which she niht have worn, one would thiuw there .if again a pause, almost stemn, and here is time to observe fhe gown which the majesty of England has on. The Majesty and tlf? beauty of England are face tof! face, for he Princess sits iiearlyopposite ;: and as the Piiucess is perhaps the best dressed woman in tlf-rooni, so is the Queen almost tbe orst. Her gown is of velvet, with l$oad loug- tudinal streaks of tniniw or er- it m mine running down mesRirt aQU horizontal trimmings t. match about the body. But yoirTneed not stop to look at it; theSoh-i-noor glows iu her corsage, audjuniuiature crown ol diamonds, suines auove the stony head.

"The Major" Blowly filled and lighted his pipe, and thus began, in a sort of reverie, as if tbe name had carried him far back into the past ; " 1 es tbat was a sad year for the In dians '33 and for the white man too, at least those of ns who had any sympathy with them. It was a barbarous deed," he said slowly, as no buuuk. uia oeau, "auu a look pare in fhaf nfuisa rf inThnmnnif it f? I a w uiwu wi lUUUiauill a UWcreaWtne arrar "" I received full pay as a soldier, and the Government gave me a grant of one hundred acres of land. - "Tbd Cherokees in North Caro lina, Bonth Carolina, part of Tennes see and Georgia, were not in favor of the treaty ot 1835, stipulating for their removal West, and granting all their lands to the whites. They heard that it was a sickly country, and feared they would die. They al lowed themselves to be Influenced by men who pretended to be their friends bat who were really actt ated by selfish motives to make no preparation 'for- heir removal, believing that if they did not; want to go they would be left .unmolested. " iThe Government ..'allowed them till May, 1838, to leave. aud then at great expthse sent soldiers to drive out those who still lingered around their homes. The poor things were -anted downjike wild beasts, driv en into gangs uto the : forts, and men, women and children, penned up like hogs. They were allowed to take with them" only what they could carry upon their backs. "Wahr yah-kah to ga, orStanding Wolf, was a Christian, a pious man, who had lived with bis family in his own house, at peace with all men, happy and contented until now. He was left to enjoy these blessings as loug as possible: but at last, the end drew near, and a "squad of soldiers, commanded by a man belongingto the country, named Hayes, was sent, to bring him atid his, family iuto Fort Linsey, in what is now Swain county, NorthJarolida. " lhey arrived early m the morn ing, and found him in his house. When informed of their business he stood in silence for some time with bowed head.- Then 'seeming ' to re alize that resistance was uselessJie turned to his wife and children, bidding them to prepare to depart: Silently they put up their little packs, Tied them upon their backs, and marched out of the house. Be fore the door Standing Wolf halted, and turned to give one more, look at the house he; was leaving forever. " I have tried to live right in that boose," he said, ' and I had hoped to die in it, and to be buried with my fathers; 'but now it has turned out that I must leave it and go into a far country I know not ! 1 have but one thing to ask of yon,'he said, finn ing to Hayes, " aud that is to Jet me go back into the house and. pray ouce withj my family." " Ihe rjpquest was at once grant ed; and Hayes, having some knowl edge ot the language himself, with the help of the interpreter, gather ed the drift of the old Indian's pray er, whicu ne atterward said was eip- quent beyond anything he had ever heard. " Standing Wolf told his Father in heaven that be put himself aud bis family into his hands, and pray ed him to take care of them ; that hey were driven Out they knew not whither, and asked God to go with them. He then prayed for the Government that had taken away their home ; and lastly, for the men who stood atthedoor, ready' to lead hem away, that liod would bless them too. 'Then.be arose from bis knees and told the soldiers he was now ready to go. ' I Hayes was a wicked, reckless man, but he said sothiug be had ever seen or heard had impressed rim so powerfully with the truth of the Christian religion as that old Indian's prayer. " The Indians were taken to Fort Cass, where Charleston, Tennessee, now stands, and numbers of them died there. While, at the Fort, Standing Wolf accidentally met JIayes one day ; recognizing each other, Hayes asked huu if he warn ed to go back to the 1 niountains. " O yes," he said t " my fathers are buried there." Haves told him that at a cer- taiu time of the moon to gather up .what he could carry with him, and go back he would help him to es cape, The Indian, with those of -his family who survived, made his way safely back to North Ciroliua; but not to his old home. He set tled in Qualla-town, whfre be died, and where his sou Enol$, improper ly translated Black Foxf, now lives, a local preacher of the Echota Mission." , - As "The Major" finished h is story I thought of how a big lump had come into my throat as I read is "Evangeline" of the happy home of As;adia,f beiug laid waste; but here was a? page of United States history untouched .by poet's pen, which ought to make tears How down our cheeks,, crimson with shame A.
