Sir: I have not the power to express
the emotions which are awakened by the
the Legislature nnl the people of Mis-is
sippt. All that I can say is, that 1 thank
you and ihem for it, from the bottom of
my heart.
Having bten an actor in many of the e
j veirs which h ul a bearing upon the prospe
rity & wellare ot this State, it is but natural
that 1 .should take the deepest interest in
the contrast ou have ptesented of its pres
ent with its pit condition. In making
this contra!, however, you have assigned
too prominent a place to my character and
serv ices. The great chang s which have
! taken place and the still greater that await
Hons, when exerted upon a tree popula-
pon a tree popu
lion and upon a genial soil and climate. If
my conduct, sir, has been surh as to de
serve your approbation and tint of my
countrymen, I have been fortunate indeed;
and can truly say that my ambition has
been satisfied.

Mr. Clay felt that it was imprudent 10 ask
the u-itioa to s rip ite!fof the means devo
ted by the Constitution to the discharge of
its own obligations, when it had barely
sufficient for th purpose; and he suggested
various modes of g'-tung oyer the difficulty
nd reconciling ihe public. In the first
p'ace, he insisted that economy and re
trenchment would enable the. Government
to get along without the revenue from the
lands, notwithstanding the de.-rea?e of ihe
tariff from ear to year, under the com
promise. Tne President ha shown that
there must he a retrenchment of five mil
lion, to keep within the Treasury receipts,
including the revenue from public lands.
Mr. Clay proposed, therefore, to cut deep
er. He would not only give up fortifica
tions, harbors, and light houses, road and
canal bills, but, as he expressly told the
Senate to day, he would reduce our skele
ton of an army.. This would leave all our
frontiers, from Florida round by the West,
and our Canada borders, open to the incur
sions of the smallest predatory party of an
enemy. Mr. Clay would not only be ready
to deal thus with the army, but he was
willing to. sever our relations with foreign
powers by calling in our ministers and
agents abroad. Nay more, he was prepared
10 put down the new Mints, and abolish,
besides, innumerable public offices, which
he declared lo he useless, but did not spe
cify. liesidcsal! this stripping of the General
Government of its functions, Mr. Clay was
ready to assist the Government in getting
along without its ordinary revenue From
the lands, by laying new taxes on Tea,
CoiTee, Wine, and Silks. He would, in a
wot d, do almost any thing lo help Mr.
Jaudon, the IWings and Co. to protect
Stale slocks for the foreign market.
lie concluded his harangue by a most
afTeeting. touching picture of the distresses
of the States at the forlorn condition of trieir
s ocks. Me spoke particularly, and most
paiticularly, of Illinoisand Alabama. Nev
er did we see so much sympathy lavished
upon States. We marvelled at ihe change
which had come over Mr. Clay in that re
spect; f r we remembered w hen the peo
ple of Kentucky were under the execur
' ; tions of the Hank of the United Scales, in
1819 and '20, that Mr. Clay was the will
ing executioner, and readily and remorse
lessly s dd out his neighbors' property on
fi Ja s for .:old andsdver to the gieat usu
rer, after it had carried every dollar of hard
money out of the Sta'es confines. We
should never have understood Mr. Clay's
present pity for the States, and his former
cruelty to Kentucky, if we had not reflec
ted that his compassion is now for the
States in their corporate capacity, and
not for the people, who happen not 10 be
in the power of the Bank or the Barings.
The States cannot be put under execution;
and. in fact, they have, or the people have,
the banks and stockjobbers dependent on
them; and hence it is that Mr. Clay is so
sorry so very sorry. Globe.

Treasury notes in appcaiance similar to

the sum in five dollar notes, and the other

Census for 1840. The census of thi
United States, to be taken during the pre
sent year will be upon a more comprehend
sive plan than usual. Hitherto it has been
customary to enumerate the inhabitants -only,
Ihe several classifications to sexes,
ages, colors, &c. By the late act of Cori- .
gress for taking the census for 1840, thb
President of the United States was direct
ed to cause the statistics of the country,
relating lo Agriculiure, Manufactures,
Mines, Commerce, &.c. to be collected, and
nlso statistical information in reference to
Education,
The next census therefore will exhibit
not only the amount of our population, but
a No a complete schedule of the aggregate
different property of the nation, ranged,
under heads, and presenting at one view
an accurate estimate of the vast resources
of the United States in all the various de
partments of industry and including the nu
merous itemsof national wealth. Intcrreg
atories, adopted to elicit information on all
the topics embraced in the new plan, havo
been prepared .to serve asformulus of sta
tistical tables. Lit'le aditiohal labor or
expenev will be incurred by this enlarged
system of proceeding, since the same per
son w ho would in the usual manner be eni

be required by the pnsent regulation.

A day or two ago the agent disco VV
cd his whereabouts, and immediately pro- !
cured a warrant which was put into h
h.mds of a proper officer, and airangements 1
made', for its service and the apprehen-I
sion of the runaway. The usual opposi
tion was apprehended, bo-h from the slavd
and h?s caste, and preparations were mado'
cither to guard against or overawe it; .but
when the time arrived when the writ was
served, he hailed the .officer as a delivrr-e.r-and
his arrest as a delivery not only
from the anxiety a d doultof mind which
had continually hunted and oppressed him,
but from the siate of want in which his
temporary uncertain & illegal freedom had .
plunged him. The poor fellow "lifted up

joy, & earnestly desired to be quickly taken
