Among the topics agitated with great and persevering earnestness by the Whig party, with the view of inducing tho working men to support Mr. Clay, is tho Protection (as they say) of American Industry." The phrase is a very specious one, seemingly patriotic upon its face, and appealing at once to that most vulnerable of all positions sclf intcrcst but when we come to analyze the expression to ace what it really means, as exemplified in the works rather than in the words of its patrons, wo find that only a very small portion of the American people have any lot or part in the matter.

Even in Jacobism all were not equally black, and the fear of the national revulsion at so desperate a deed stariled many, who might not have been withheld by feelings of humanity.

He pursued his way with as much calmness and security as if he had been a supernatural visitant, until he vanished in the darkeess. This singular occurrence threw a complete damp on their resicidal ardor: and as noone seemed inclined to mount the Tribune, the club would probably have broken up for the night when a loud knocking nt the door, and the bcatintr of drums, aroused the drowsy attempts of tho new school philosophers to divest it of this character, and to smuggle it through the forms of legislation upon high and patriotic grounds, will ultimately fail.

A number of witnesses were examined, also Some agreements of the defendant, and by these it was proved that he had passed by the name of Christian. For the defence, a policy of insurance was produced, in which his property was insured under tho name of Charles Stecnworlh.

Wednesday, June 12. In tho Senate, Mr. Walker submitted a resolution calling upon the President to say whether Great Britain had assumed or attempted to enforce the power of punishing British subjects for engaging in the buying or selling of slaves in foreign countries.

If yea, it was an outrage on our national rights. Mr. Jama gin thought it would be time enough to attend to this matter whenever a case should actually occur Sufficient unto tho day," It was laid on the table. Mr. Benton gave notice of joint resolution regulating the mode of electing the President and Vice President.

Private bills were then taken up and a resolution engrossed for paying the claims of the Cherokeo Indians. Those of the late Mr. Reesiilc, (an old mail contractor) were discussed. Mr. Evans reported the Civil and Diplomatic hill.

In the House, the subject of the District Banks was taken up, and the bill to extend their charters passed, with some slight amendments. A resolution to pay the funeral expenses of tho persons killed on board tho Princeton was adopted. The bill to regulate Private was then taken up. Mr. Dana moved to substitute the Senate bill for reducing the rates of postage, rightly supjiosmg that without it, pc.i would fall to the ground with it, they would be useless.

After considerable talk the committee rose and reported no conclusion. A motion was made to reconsider the vote by which the House refused to pass the vetoed Harbor Bill. The Speaker decided it out of order. Mr. Adams appealed, and a motion to lay the appeal on the tabic was lost.

Danton immediately rushed into the Tribune. I had seen him before, on the fearful night which prepared the attack on the palace: but he was then in the haste and effective suvageness of the rablilc. He now played the pari of a leader of a political sect anil the commencement of his address adopted something of the decorum of public council. In this there was an artifice for restless as the dub was, it still retained a jealousy of the superior Jegislative rank of the assembly of national representatives, the Convention. The forms of the Convention were strictly irnuuVHl and even those Jacobins who usually led the debate, scrupulously wore the not greatly err, the very men who press this view of the case (with one notable exception) arc the loudest anu edges of knives duly examined.

The doors at length were thrown open and a crowd, one half of whom appeared to be in the last stage of intoxication and the other half not far from insanity, came dancing and oaiousing into the body of the building. In the midst of their troops they carried two busts covered with laurels the busts of the regicide, liav.iillac and Clement, with flags before them, inscribed, Thcv were glorious, for they slew kings Tile busts were presented to the president, and their bearers, a pair of wdssirdi'S, insisted on giving him the embrace, in sijn of fraternization. The president, in return, invited them to the 'honors of a sitting and thus reinforced, the discussion on the death nf the unhappy monarch commenced once more, and the vote was carried bv acclamation. The National Convention was still to be applied to for the completion of the sentence but the decree of the Jacobins was tlie law of the land. in their condemnation of Fourierism.

But it is not our purpose to argue this question at present. We design merely to show that there is, in fact, no difference of opinion between Col. Polk anil Air.

The daring v.a uuu spoken but which Danton alone had the desperate audacity to utter.

The gallery screamed, howled, roared, danced, flourished their weapons, and Bung the Marseilles, and the Carmagnole. The club below were scarcely loss violent in their demonstrations of furious joy. Danton had now accomp'ished hia task but his vanity thirsted lor additional applause, and he entered into a catalogue of his services to Republicanism. In the midst of his detail, a low but singularly clear voice was heard from the extremity of the hall Descend, man of massacre." I saw Danton stand back as if ho had been shot. At lenth, recovering his breath, he said feebly Citizens, of what am I accused "Of the three days of September," uttered the voice again, in a tone so strongly sepulchral, that it delivered in the House of Representatives in 1811, and the last from the Inaugural Address of Governor Polk, delivered at Nashville in 1839.

The reader will observe with what prophetic accuracy Mr. Clay spoke when he pronounced such an institution dangerous to our liberty." The Nominations How they were received at Nashville. The Union of the Gth inst. has come to hand, and is boiling over with enthusiasm as it well may on account of Young Hickory's nomi nation for the Presidency. The intelligence is sur mounted with the picture of a cannon, dealing out smoke and thunder and it seems as if we could al most hear its inspiring echoes.

The news, at first, Mr. Clay. This vagrant power to erect a bank, after wandering through the whole constitution in quest of some congenial spot to fasten upon, has at length been located, by the gentleman from Georgia, on the provision which authorizes Congress to lay and collect taxes, In 1701, the power is referred to one was considered too good to be true but on its connr roation the Union brok forth in this stylo A burst from the battle cloud hear ve the sound palpably awed the whole assemulagc. Who is it that insults me? who dares to malign me? What spy of the Girondists, what traitor of the Bourbons, what hireling of the gold of Pitt, is among us?" exclaimed the bold ruffian, yet with a visage which, even at the distance, 1 could observe had lost its usual fiery hue, and turned clay color. I replied the voice, and I saw a tall nVure a rut'0 Martha Ann White.

I am a step daughter of the prisoner; his right name is White he is a pedlar. I never heard anything against him. lie has had no other friend to assist him since his imprisonment, hut myself. I was living with my aunt in New Jersey, and left there for tfic purpose of attending upon him. Several other witnesses were called, whose testimony tended to show the prisoner to have been of general good character.

The Court charged the jury Dial in order to find the prisoner guilty, they must believe that he knew the notes to he spurious, and that ho intended to defraud by means of them. The jury, after an absence of considerable length, found tlK prisoner 'guilty, but recommending him to mercy." The Court stated that the term of punishment was discretionary with them only between 5 and 111 years. A juror staled that the jury supposed it was altogether at the option of the Court. They afterwards united in signing a petition to the Governor, asking for a mitigation of the probable sentence of 5 years. In the matter of William Henry Miller, the counsel stated that the prisoner's family had been burnt out, and were in a destitute condition, and needed the prisoner's exertions he therefore asked that he be liberated on bail for his appearance at the next term.

Tho court acquiesced, in consideration of the circumstances, and fixed the amount at fjiaOO, which, it is expected, the prisoner will be able "to procure. People vs. German liuccstone, Jr. Indicted for an assault and battery upon officer Austin, at Williamsburgh, on 20th Alav last. It appeared from the testimony of all the witnesses that Austin was passing Bnckstonc's shop, when tho father of the defendant said, There goes the rase who tried to put me in the cells, and make something out of inc." Austin overheard it, and said, Vou old scoundrel! do yon mean lo insult a public officer and took hold nf the old man telling him he must go with him.

The defendant undertook to rescue his father, when Austin struck hirn with an umbrella: whereupon the defendant snatched it from his hand, and committed the alleged assault and batlcry.

The Federal Government has at different times assumed or attempted to exercise powers, which in my judgment have not been conferred upon that Government by the compact. Among these, I am free to declare my solemn conviction that the Federal Government possesses no constitutional power to incorporate a National Bank.

From the evidence in the case, it appeared that Mr. Sncckner had long been annoyed by certain young men collecting at his corner in the evening and had, at his own request, been appointed a marshal for his own protection by the Mayor on the 4th of May last, but received no written authority to act as such until the 4th of June. It was a mere verbal appointment and the Mayor made no record of it until he gave him a warrant. On the aforesaid 17th May, these young men collected, as usual at comer, and Mr.
