HENRY CLAY.
Tlie pa ners are filled with rumors of the intended
"resignation by.Mr. CjiaY, of his seat in the Senate.
Whether they pe true or not, we have no means of
judging. Of one thing, however, we are certain.
The measure of hislTame is full, and though, if he re
mained in the Senate he might make other, exertions,
be coirid accomplish nothing that would add lustre to
the palm that he has already won.
It is now thirty-five years since Mr. Clay first ap
peared in the National Councils. - In 1806, he entered
the Senate of the United States, and since that period
either as Senator or Representative, his sentiments
upon every great question of National policy have
been before the couutry. ' His profound views as a
Statesman, his patriotism and eloquence, have every
year added to his reputation at borne and abroad.
Mingling as be has; with little intermission, in all the
great debates and political contents which have suc
cessively occupied and agitated the National .Legisla
ture, his supremacy as lord, of the debate," has
been, at every successive onset, the more conspicuous
and unquestioned, j In those debates, always anima
ted, often angry, and ; sometimes tumultuous, be has
ever stood unshaken , equally firm in the cause of his
country, and in tbe confidence of the Representatives
of the People. In a 11 their deliberations upon Nation
al policy, be has been listened to as the most sagacious
Statesman of the age. Through all the revolutions ol
Congress, through all the phases of rising and setting,
of waxing and jwaning Statesmen, in and opt of it, he
always has been die same. His "step has ever been
onward. Nothing has arrested, nothing impeded it.
His march nasi been, in the face of the country, when
every eye was upon him. And that country, whose
voice can neither be bought nor sold, has pronounced
iu irreversible decision in his favor, as a sagacious and

A NEGRO LEGISLATOR.
In the town of Townsend, Massachusetts, a negro
has been elected tojthe Legislature ! At tbe first elec
tion, it happened that the polls were kept open longer
lhaa the legal ume and that electiou is therefore void ;
but a new meeting1 was to be called, and if the' abo
rtionists hold out, the negro has been elected. In
Massachusetts jthere is no disqualification as to color,
and the negro has Agreed to take his seat aa a member
if elected. - :
BATHOS.
One, now and then, meets with an amusing illui.
tration of this sinking, when yu mean to rise. The
waxen wings of Icakus, which, Instead of making
him master of the air, plunged him into the water, was
a raeieaJ bathos. Of the written bathos, an amu
sing instance is afforded to the fcecehtly publfshed tour
of a lady. Describing a storm to which she was expos
ed on board a vessel, she says In spite of earnest
solicitations to the contrary, I persisted in remaining
upon deck", although the tempest had now increased
to so frightful a hurricane, that it was not without great
difficulty I cou d-T-AoM up my Parasol!"
As a worthy companion to this little moreeau, we
copy the following affecting advertisement from an
English newspaper : ' If this should meet the eye of
Emma D J who absented herself last Wednesday
from her fathers bouse', she is implored to return',
when she will be niet with undiminished love by her
i
almost heart-broken Parents. If, however nothing
can persuade her to listen to their joint appeal should
she never mean to revisit a home where she has pass
ed so many happy years, it is at least expected, if she
be not totally lost to all sense of propriety, that she will,
without a moment's further delay send bcCck the key

GREEN OUGH'S STATUE OF WASHINGTON.
h Jt haa been generally supposed, that this was to be
an eyuesnontatue, but the following from a corres
pondent "of the Ciucinuatti Gazette, shows what it
really is :
The famous statue of Washington by Greenough,
has been placed in the rotunda, of the capital I con
fess I have been a good deal disappointed in .it, and I
think that disappointment will be felt by every one.
It seems to be a mere copy of the Jupiter Tonans
with the head of Washington. He is seated on a
bench, half naked ; with some drapery thrown over bis
legs, and a fair of sandals On his feel one naked arm
in front, holding a sword, which is so ponderous as to
require a block of marble to support it. The other is
in the attitude of pointing to heaven. The muscles
are developed as fully as those of Hercules wielding
his club, or those of Sampson pulling down Hie pillars
of the house of the PbilUiines. Tbe figure is colossal
and monstrous, and resembles Mr. Shelley's creation
ef the monster Frankenstein more than any thing I
could imagine. Fancy the noble and modest Wash
ington in a sUte of nudity, and stripped to the buff
like a stage boxer or Roman gladiator and exposed to
(he gaze of every eye ! It is perfectly revolting. The
statue weighs fourteen tons, and has been placed in
the rotundo in safety."
FOR TIIE REGISTER.
Mr. GaleS : We can but hail it as among the most
auspicious omens in favor of the great Temperance
efforts of the day, that a gentleman of such a giant
mind as Professor Ware of Cambridge College should
be lound among its most zealous advocates. Please
sir, publish the following short extract from his late ex
cellent sermon on Temperance, delivered before the
young gentlemen of the College " But let others do
as they may ; is there any good reason why you should
not countenance and abet a cause like this ? The
same reasons which decide other persons in the com
munity should affect you. If your brothers and com
panions in other walks of life have good reason to be
concerned, your being differently situated does not de
stroy the force of tbe reason. If they can manifest
that concern, witnout interference with their stated
duties, you can do tbe same. If the young men of the
Republic, elsewhere, are making it a part of their pat
riotism, there can be no reason why the young men of
a higher education should regard it with apathy. In
deed; why must it not be a reproach to them, if
found holding back ? if, while the young men who en
ter the service of society from the work-bench, the
plough, and the counting-room, carry into affairs a
habit of ligid self-denial, those from our colleges are
distinguished for adhering to the self-indulgence which
others hare abandoned ? . If the country is to be a
gainer by this extraordinary movement; if the foun
tains 01 wretchedness and crime are to be in a man
ner dried up ; if happiness, virtoe, and prosperity are
to be indefinitely increased ; if the good and wise are
not altogether lunatic in their congratulations, and tbe
community and the church stark mad in their expres
sions of gratitude to these recent benefactors (Hawkins,
Gary &c.) then surely it is becoming that the educa
ted classes should not be found recreant ; it must not
be that they, entitled to place among the leaders,
who always have been, and always must be, treated
with a certain deference, as lights of thVsocial order ;
it must not be that they forfeit what belongs to
them, by backwardness' to aid the improvement on
which the community prides itself." PHILO.

AjroTflER Destructive Fibe.- It

Coach Shop occupied by Jno. H. Atkirison,
which j with a great deal of timber and un
finished work, Was consumed. The fire next
caught the frame-poiise, immediately adjoin

was laid in ashes. It then communicated

buildings in the rear of tbe fire were pulled
down, whichrrested its further progress.-

QZr A very intelligent and highly respec
table gentleman in the country, who has
always been opposed to a national Bank, was
asked how he stood affected in politics at
the present juncture. Hi reply was, that he
was still opposed to a Bank for the sake of
consistency but he believed the Whigs
were honest and honesty in Politics was
like charity in Religion it would cover a
multitude of sins. He preferred the Whigs
with a Bank infinitely, to the Locos without
one.
This was the principle which united the
Whig party during the canvases, and upon
which the battlg was fought. Good faith de

&Gen. Ja.ckson. In the " old HeroV late
letter to the Nashville dinner committee, he
denounces the Land Distribution act as pal
pably unauthorized and unconstitutional'
But in his message of . 832, he conceded to
Congress the full power" to dispose of the
lands as that body might leem best. The
following are his words:
" It is in the discretion of Congress so to dispose of
them as bet to conduce to the quiet, harmony, and
general interests of the American people."
This surrenders the .whole ground. The
lands were to be disposed of at the ''discre
tion of Congress." The Constitution has
not changed since that day, but Gen. Jack
son has. He is now in his dotage, and the
letter to the Nashville committee was writ,

EDUCATION.
The Free School System in our State, is
strictly a Whig measure the Whigs being
solicitous that the people should be educated
in order that they may understand the prin
ciples upon Which our Government is found
ed, and defend their rights against the wick
ed designs of bold ambitious men. And now
that Free Schools are about going into suc
cessful operation, it would not surprise us to
see the Van Buren Feds at their old tricks
again, winding and twisting throwing po
litical summersets, and after the perform
ance of some of these wonderful evolutions,
to hear them clamourously asserting that
they had ever been the ardent andjdevoted
advocates of Free Schools.

' - .agricxtlture:
: V We observe that -our neiirhbors; the Vir
gmiaus; are bestowing attention on the iub
ject f Agriculture1. Societies; fairs; fand
periodical works on this subject are getting
produce a correspondent interest amougst the
people. Improvement of land--improvement
in stocks as wellas an improvenient in the
modes of cultivation are beginning to be
quite .observable in many parts Of the State.
We intend to give our readers the accounts
published a few weeks ago, of the proceed
ings of an Agricultural Society with its Cat
tle show, its fair and its festival at Richmond.
These proceedings show that there are some
highminded and liberal individnajs-of great
intellect and nigh character; who look upon
the cultivation or the earth as tlie post! of
honor, and thai distinction in this art, is at
least mc most pure and solid fame, that man
can enjoy. It is a fame acquired arW enjoy
ed without envy from others, and without
any strictures of our own c6riscieticK?It))e?
hooves every well-wfsher to his country to
give currency and weight to these opinions.
Instead of trying to get -your sons into the
professions of Law, Physic and Divinity,
which are already crowded. let' them ''be
reared to the idea that Farming is the most
useful, most intellectual, and certainly the
most happy pursuit that man can engage in.
The following remarks on the disposition to
crowd the professions is taken from an able
periodical of Great Britain, and while' on
this subject, we commend it to the conside
ration of all who are about to make a selec
tion of an occupation.
" But thousands have died of broken hearts in these
pursuits, thousands who would .have been happy be
hind the plough, or opulent behind the counter; thou
sands in the desperate struggle of thankless professions
look upon the simplicity of a life of manual labor with
perpetual envy ; and thousands, by a worse fate still,
are driven to necessities which degrade the principles
of honor within them, accustom them to hurriiliating
modes of obtaining subsistence, and make up, by ad
ministering to the vices of society, the livelihood which
was refused to their legitimate exertions."
If this be true in England, how much
more true is ft in this country. ; The ruh
for the learned professions is greater. The
qualifications are generally less, and the fail
ures and disappointments are consequently
greater. Agriculture, in particular, feels the
effect of such a vitiated sentiment. The
law in particular, has been called the road
to preferment. We admit it, and when a
young man is qualified to take a high rank
in.it, it is a sourccvof profit and honor : but
for the humbler aspirants to that vocation,,it
is too often tho road to ruin. It is never
the road to peace and happiness. ' If, instead
of pursuing the vain shadows of ambition,
more educated young men would fall into
the business of agriculture, and wou4d be
stow thought as well as labor upon it, we
should soon see the beneficial consequences
of it.
The subject of these remarks, is to try
aud get up a spirit favorable to the forma
tion of Societies and Fairs in our section
of the country. With such a soil, and with
such industrious habits as we have, such es
tablishments could but have the very best
effects. Let some of our leading men put
the ball in motion, and we doubt not of good
success;. The founder of a good permanent
Agricultural Society would deserve the
thanks of the community. - V 1

the wheat crop of 142.
We learn from a friend who has been
spending a few days at different points in the
great Miami VaTleyj that the Wheat which
has been sown the present fall in this fertile
section of the State, amounts to about three
times the usual quantity. If the farmers in
the principal grain districts of the State have
sown any thing like as extensively with a
favorable season, the Wheat product of 1842
will be very large. The seed along the Mi
ami have come up well, ar.d the fields pre
sent a beautiful and healthy appearance.
The fly has shown itself in some districts,
but has as yet done but little damage. En
tire exemption from its ravages is not ex
pectcd, but he present indications are that
it will be far less destructive than it Was last

Affecting PiCTtJRE. The Jittle town of
Truro, on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, con
tains less than two thousand inhabitants.
Judge; then, how general must be the des
pondence and gloom under the following cir
cumstances; as stated in letter from the se
lectmen of the town :
"The dreadful effects of the . late cale on ihe shores
of Cape Cod are. in general well known. The loss of
. - ! . A. . III" .
tne property in mis town is wunoui a parapet jn its
former history; and the loss of human life is truly ap
palling. Forty-seven of our townsmen -have been
swallowed up in the mighty deep, or cast lifeless upon
our shores leaving, almost in a single neighborhood,
21 widows and 39 fatherless children, many tif whom
are left in want of the most common necessaries of
life, food, clothing and fuel."
"The relatives and neighbors of the bereaved, to
whom, in ordinary cases, they could apply for aid, are
(with few executions,) by the general destruction of
their property in Jhe same gale,, unable to lo moVe
than relieve their immediate, and most pressing wants.
The borrowing widow, still cherishing, perhaps, a
faint hope that by some miraculous interposition her
husband may have been taken from the sinking wreck
and carried to some distant port, feels her heart sink
ing into utter despondency when she thinks of the
approaching winter, and sees her . little children shiv
ering around'the tireless hearth aud asking for bread
which she cannot give them."
