known historically to have been one end de signed to be obtained by establishing the constitution, and this object and the con stitutional power to accomplish it ought ne ver to be surrendered or compromised in any degree. “Our political institutions, Gentlemen, place power in the hands of all the people, and to make the exercise of this power, in such hands, salutary, it is indispensable that all the people should enjoy, first, the means of education, and second, the reasonable cer tainty of procuring a competent livelihood by industry and labor. These institutions are neither designed for nor suited to a na tion of ignorant paupers. ‘To disseminate knowledge, then, universally, and to secure to labor and industry their just rewards, is the duty both of the General and State Gov ernments, each in the exercise of its appro priate powers. To be free, the Peone must be intelligent ly free; to be substantially independent, they must be able to secure themselves against want, by sobriety and industry; to be safe depositories of political power, they must be able to comprehend and understand the gen eral interests of the community, and must have a stake, themselves, in the welfare of the community. ‘The interest of labor, there fore, has an importance, in our system, be yond what belongs to it as a mere question of political economy. It is connected with our forms of Government, and our whole social system. the activity and prosperity, which at present prevail among us, as every one must notice, are produced by the excitement of compensating prices to labor; and it is fer vently to be hoped that no unpropitious cir cumstance, and no unwise policy may coun teract this efficient cause of general compe tency and public happiness.” The Court of Common Pleas convened on Monday, and by unanimous consent of the bar, the jury, and, with one exception, of the court, adjourned until the following morning, to enable those who chose, to visit Black Rock, to witness the launch of the new steam boat “Daniel Webster,” and pay their re spects to their distinguished visitor. ‘The distinctions of party and prejudices of men,” says the Journal, “gave way to intellect which has climbed the uphill of life, unaided by fortune or family.” Mr. W. left Buffalo on Tuesday week for Detroit. Y. Com. From the National Intelligencer. Mr. Clay.—The Buffalo Journal of May 22 furnishes the following corroboration of the report that the Statesman of the West is about to make a visit, this summer, to the Eastern States: “Henry Clay.—It affords us great plea sure to learn from one of our citizens, who has recently returned from Kentucky, that this distinguished statesman proposes paying a visit to this section, during the ensuing sum mer, and that he will be in Buffalo in July or in August. Our citizens will greet the arrival of the President and his manly oppo nent at the last Presidential canvass, with hearty good feeling, displaying their freedom of thought and liberality of sentiment, and the courtesy due to visitors without even re membering political animosities and divis ions. They will both be looked upon as national property, and as such be received.” Conclusion of Mr. Macauley’s speech in the British House of Commons, in sup port of the motion to relieve the Jews from civil disabilities, “May the Christian ‘religion (said Mr. Macauley) continue for ages to bless this country with its genial influence: strong in its acute and lofty philosophy—strong in its spotless morality—strong in that powerful evidence, to which the most comprehensive minds have surrendered their belief; the last consolation of those who have outlived every earthly hope—the last restraint of those who are above all earthly fear. But, sir, let us not mistake the character of that divine re ligion—let us not attempt to fight the battle of truth with the weapons of error, or endea vor to support by oppression a religion whose noblest distinction is, that it first taught the human race the lesson of universal charity.” A person has been apprehended in this city as a mendicant and vagrant, sleeping for many nights successively in the Market House, upon whose person was found, on his commitment, money to the amount of two thousand eight hundred and twenty-five dol lars, of which 2400 dollars are in post notes of Girard’s Bank, of $100 each, dated in September, 1831. The money was yester day deposited by the faithful officers who apprehended him, (Mr. L. 8. Beck, Mr. H. B. Robertson, and Mr. R. R. Burr, in the Patriotic Bank, to await the result of a fur ther inquiry as to his right to it, which, un der the circumstances, is not unreasonably questioned. — Nat. Intelligencer. The prophecy of Oliver Evans (made in the presence of the editor of the Register, and in the house of his father) many years ago—is near its fulfilment. Oliver Evans said, that the “child was then born who would travel from Philadelphia to Boston in one day.” Oliver allowed, then, 80 or 90 years—but it will be done in half the time. ‘Already the journey between New York and Boston is being made in 17 hours 41 minutes, and the time on the railroad to be made between Philadelphia and New York (less than six hours)will perfect the prophe cy—however it seemed to partake of insan ity when first proclaimed.— Niles’ Register. Marrter—In Crawford county, la. on the 18th inst. by the Rev. David Stewart, the Hon. Exvisan TADLOCK, to Mrs. Clarissa Tucker, widow of the late Martin H. Tucker, dec’d.— Communicated.
