Cassius M. Clay has put forth an address in the Louisville Examiner, to the subscribers of the True Americia, from which we tke the following extracts. It will be seen that the spirit of Liberty and eternal hostility to Slave ry, still burns in his bosom. *« The true friends of the South were not be hind their brothers of the free States in feling the evils of slavery. In content with infect ing the pulpit, the Legislative Hall, and the focal circle, it brathed upon the berty of the trees, and despairing silence sat upon millions. Here and there, at long intervals, someone more daring than the rest, gave utterance to the holiest instincts of nature, and ‘spoke out against the giant curse. It was but a momen tary ripple on a vast sea, whose waters again susded into more thio origial stagnation. ‘The Examiner * has succeeded the ‘ True Americano.” My detention in a Mexican pri son delayed my return longer than wes antici pated; the editor of the ‘* Examiner’ has fore stalled my wishes, and is now fulfilling all my obligations to my subscribers by substituting its paper for mine. Those who have scen both papers, will not regret the change. I ask for him the continuation of that generous sup port in that cause which was in me shown dear to so many noble Americans. The first scene in the drama is accomplished : brighter hopes dawn upon Kentuky and the American Republic. The extraordinary events: a t home and abroad for the last few years, have arous ed the consciences ad startled the minds of millions. Go read Guizoi’s History of Civili zation, and take courage. Fath in the pro gress of mankind is’ no longer the dream of ** fanatics.” The spirit of large and liberal inquiry, and consequent am lorai on, is moving all nations. The land of ‘* 76 °? cannot long follow in the unwilling wake of Trans-Atlantic despotism in securing the liberties of men. A great destiny awaits us—America will yet be mrix ! ** God and Liberty.” Co. M. CLAY, Lexington, Dec. 18, 1847. Chancellor Kent was, as we have said be fore, a professor of religion, and very recently a communicant in the Episcopal Church ; and it is worthy of remark, that within the past year, Chief Justice Steveur, Mr. Wessree, and Mr. Cray, have all partaken of the com munion in the same church—Mr. Wen stern having received the communion about a year since from the hands of the Rev. Mr. Sourmarp in Calvary Church, without any al lusion to the fact being made in the public press. ‘This public testimony of four of the greatest intellects of the age—and all within the same year—to the great truths of Christi anty, is well worthy of note ; and cannot fail to arrest the attention and consideration of all who pause in the midst of the present to reflect upon the future, at the sim time, that the Episcopal Church may well be proud of being the channel, through which such testimony has been added to the trap, the value, and the want and necessity of practical faith.—N. Y. Cour. § Eng. Re igious Inrgnuicence.—The Pres bytery of Beaver meets at Bridgewater, on the first Tuesday in January, at 7P. M. The Allahabad Mission (Northern India) has 508 pupils under its care. The Board of Education of the Presbyterian Church has 385 beneficiaries on its roll, Rev. C. C. Baldwin and wife, Rev. 8. Cummings and wife, Rev. W. L. Richards,Miss Pohlwan, and the Rev. Mr. James, M. D., and wife, embarked on last Thursday, on, board the Valparaiso from Philadelphia, for Canton. A.F. Stephenson has been appointed agent of the Allegheny Bible Society. (G” Will you give me them pennies, now, said a big news boy to a little one, after giving him a severe thumping. “ No, I won't. “Then It give you another pounding.” “*Pound away, you fool Me and Dr. Franklin agrees. Doctor Franklin says: '* Take care of peace and the pounds will take care of them elves.”” The work that should last lay be wrought, Defer not 'till to-morrow 4 . The help that should within be sought, Score from without to borrow’. Old maxims these, but stout and true, And creek with trumpet tone, To do at once what is to do, And trust yourselves alone.
