and becatlso lie is an iutcgial pi t ol
it. lie renders it a willing obedience,
Oecuusc he knows lie has mad. it, and

horse scents the buttle, whilst it is yet
alar off, so he mind's the first ta ut of
danger upon the breeze, and hastens to
devote his cotihsol, his energies, his pro
perty, and if need be, his lile to its do
fence. Ue loves Ins country with an
Absorbing lore. He guards its honor
an I its liiicrtios, with an iiVer watchful
vigilance ; because the loss of its liber
ties, is the loss of his tiwri ; a stain on
its honor, is a stain upon his own ; de-
feat and disgrace to its standard, is dis
honor and shame to himself. Tho pros-
perity, tlio honor, and glory of his conn
try,are dour to him us Ins life; because the
prosperity, the honor, and glory are Ins.
Such is lhe sovereign subject, given

Under his guidance, what limits can we

which allows lite full and freo develop

This is but a faint out line of the
blessings, conferred upon the world, by
the republican system. What a debt
of gratitude is due, by the people ol
every land under tlw whole Heaven, to
Washington and his immortal coinpu-
ti iot; but if tliu debt of gratitiTde, due
by the world is great, how miiiji great-
er is tho load ol obligation resting up-
on us, the favored citizens of the great
American Republic. Who can esti

1 hensive enough to grasp it ? For my

In arts and strong arms were all they

A general Oi/nirress of Representatives
from u|! the colonies to consult upon
the general welfare, was the first step
towards a perfect Union. A conloder-
ition of States was next formed. Un-
der this confederation of Slates, the
\menean revolution was prosecuted

Conceiving the grand idea of our Uov-

for social and domestic legislation.—
Under llie auspices of tlio Union thus

from three ti thirty millinins—our Ter-

to the Pacific ocean, which washes its

constellation, which lies to the North—
its brightness still uiidiiiiincd, its glory
still unobsenred—and it is the prayer

But what shall wo say of the ful lire

too far in the future, and too high in the

for the human nipid to grasp ft; yet,
inethinks, with prophetic vision, I can
truce its onward and its upward path
way, for an hundred years, and what n
magnificent vision rises upon my sight!
I behold its boundaries enlarged, until
the western continent, and the adjacent
islands iu both oceans are embraced
within the arms of its beuiflcent protec-
tion. I behold throe hundred millions
of freemen, enjoying the rich blessings
of civil and religious liberty. I see
one hundred sovereign States, bright
columns in the grand Temple of Liber-
ty, range themselves under the shelter-
ing dome of the American Constitution-
I heboid the whole land from the Atlan-
tic to lhe Pacific, covered with cities,
towns and villages, splendid with the
embellishments of arts, and with the
treasures of commerce. I i «hold tl •
land, everywhere, auiiling with homes
of comfort and elegance—with fields
laden with the rich harvests of a pro
looted husbandry, with school houses
dotting every valley, and churches
crowning every liiii top. L behold the
'.Von horse, wi'ni iiCTVi'u that never I rem
ble, and with inundes ílilU nevor lire,
crossing every hill, and sweeping
through cverv valley. I behold the
lightning itself, brought int > easy sub-
jection, conveying intelligence wl*!¡ the
speed of thought, from the frozen plains
of Labrador, to the Capo on the South.
I behold our equal laws, our IVoubli*

back, in part, to the awakened K ist, the
debt so long dim to Egypt and Phooiie-

And above nil, I behold the American
Union, lowering high above tho govern-

er of the earth—the supreme arbiter ot
national law—tliu high dispenser of na-
tional justice.
Who with ilulifienl hand shall date to

Judge Buckley's Spcecb.
The following remarks of the Clarks-
ville Messenger, awaken more serious
reflections if Judge Buckley is elected,
than if ho is dofeated. The decisiou nt
the people against lilm, while it wouild
i e no evidence of tho truth of the char-
ges which he has not answered, yet it
would lessen tho Interest of tho public
in the qnestion of his moral fitness';
while if elected, under all tlio civciur.-
stances,some further examination would
bs inevitable. The public would
rest sstisfltd with tho more opiuibiM) of
members of thu CcntryJ< Committee. As

says that at tho last meeting there was
"an enthusiastic auditory" utid many
new signatures were obtained. The
Advertiser praises the mldres* of Mr.

the real (acts which surround them;
drive peace from tho land, and " precipi

require something more than lino meta-
phor and classical allusions to recon-
cile people to tho hotrors of civil

A distinguished professor of tlio Uni-
versity of Berlin, Heir Dcitrich, has
lately produced a paper in regard to
the world's ponulntion, nnd it is gener-
ally believed that it is the most care
fully prepared nnd most reliable work
tliut has yet appeared on this subject
After some detailed estimates in regard
lo the live great division of the World,
lie arrives at tho concliis ou that tin
present population is about twelve hun-
dred mul eighty Ihre^miUioiu, us follows:
Populution of Kurope, 272,000,000; of
A-.u, 720,000,000; of America, 200,
000.000; of Africa St).000,000; of Am
iruliu, 2 000,000. Total populution of
the globe, 1.283.000 000.
The average number of deaths per
annum, in certain places where records
are kept, is about Í to every 40 inliab
tints. At the present time the number
of deaths iu a year would be about 32,'
000 000, which is more than the entire
present population of the United States
At this rate tlio aversxo number ol
deaths per day is about 87,751; the avo
rage per hour about 3,(553 ; the average
per ui'iiuie, (11. TIiiih at least every
second a human lite is ended. As the
liirthn considerably exceed the deaths,
there are probably 70 or 80 human be-
ings born per minute. — IV. O. Picnyune
IV Wo hear that sickness iu thu
Braz >s bottoms, and elsewhere west i f
us, is abating a great deal. In Fort
Bend, very fair crops will bo made.—
The sugar cane is promising, and cot-
ton has not suffered as much from drought

lislied charges, wo did so from
of duty, and we shall not shrink fn*n
urnishing Judge Buckley with every
evidence in our possession,
Wi fool assured, that there are hun-
dreds of g iod men who supported hira,
who, if ho has been elected, will demand,
that he shall confront his accusers, and
that he, or they shall stand condemned.
Tho Messenger's, report of tho speech,
certainly leaves the Judge iu a; unsi.t.
is ttotory position.
"Judge Buckley addressed tho citi-
zens of this place on Monday morning
lust, for a half hour before thu opening
of the polls. His remarks, if not con-
vincing, were, in the main, exceedingly
gentlemanly in lone, uud of a nutiiru to
win tho sympathies of his ntidieuco —
He reiterated the substatice of hin. cir-
cular; denounced N. Is. Kvífiím, hold-
ing liiui up iu uo enviable light, and
attempted to shelter himself'behind tho
action of the Democratio Central Com-
mittee. Ho barely made ulfiffdoii t,u
the charge in relation to Mutter's es-
tillo; said tli.it it hud been published in
some of I ho newspapers—nmoiig thotu
thu Clurl'Svido papera; did not say whe-
ther tlio i hu ge wus true or falso; (hiu
friends suppose this to have boon uii
uiiintont oii'tl omission;) deuicd that ho
was h ibitually iutompofate, but admit-
ted tint he had been intoxicated ofu ncr
t iaii any gentleman should have been-;
said howevet that lie hud drunk Iias
within the last few years than formerly,
and tliut ut no timo hud his excesses in-
terfered with tho regular discharge of
his olllcial duties.
His speech is presumed to liaro uat-
isfind all who believe in. flic' absoTiile
perfection of the Central iJommlttee, its
well us those who resolved to vote for
him under any and til c i re u instances.—
Few others, we think, were satisfied.
The object of Judge Buckley iu innk<
ing this tour, just ou the eve of the elec-
tion, seems to have been to stir iqi tho
faithful in certain localities to redoubled
exertions; and not as soiuo have imag-
ined, to attempt a refutation of the
barges preferred against him. For
this lie was evidently unprepared and
heneo his failure at this place. Wo
learn it was not his intention to npenk,
but presume he wan over-persuaded by
his friends.
Ilis avowert object in coming to Clarks-
ville was to show tho people, as we
have stated elsewhere, that ho had no
brandy blossoms in his face; but the indi-
vidual who would travel post haste four
or live hundred miles for the express
purpose of proving his sobriety of háb-
il, would hardly plead guilty to lbs
very charge ho had come to disprove;
nor would Fie, if to very sensitivo to im-
putations of "that character, be at all
likely to treat with comparative indif-
ference charges of a fur moro serious
nature. We do not wish to be unchar-
itable, but cannot avoid tlio belief, and
wo think the Inference a legitimate one,
that Judge Buckley has felt inore con-
cern about his elevation to office than
the preservation of his good name. As
to his guilt or innocence wo express no
pinion, but think it duo to tho public
as well us lo himself, that the charges
against liiin be now fuliy and fairly in-
vestigated, and the result of the n ves-
tigatioii published to tLo world. If
guilty, those to whom the people had a
right to look for reliuule information,
and who with a consciousness of his
guilt, endeavored to suppress tho evi-
dence of it, should bo held to a strict
account If innocent, and wilfully and
mal ciotstfly slandered, his slandere||
should bo made to fool tho extreme peff
alty of thu law, and be treated with all
the scorn and coi.t.'inpt such conduct
so richly niarits."
Gen. Houston thus endorsed the
Pol lie Printer, at Independence, on th*
14th lust. :
" The General said something about
lu^ustin Clique, led en by ouo John
.hwuiitll, a printer—an oligarchy—the
head of which wu this Marshall, from
t to bleak mountains of Vermont, and
said Jack Marshall was first kicked in-
to notice."
An old, rough Puritan minister onco
took for his text that passago in thu
Psalms, " 1 said iu my haste, all men
are liars"
Loosing up, apparently as if lie saw
tlie Psalmist standing immediately bo-
fore him, he went on thus:
" You said in your haste, David, did
ye ? Well, If yo liad beeu boro, ye
might have said it After mature refloc-
