of government; and nolaw shall ever be
made to restrain the right thereof. The
free communication of thoughts and opin-
ions is one of the inalienable rights of
man, and every citizen may freely write,
speak or print, on any subject, being ‘re-
sponsible for the abuse of that liberty.’

Upon this Mr. Clay says:

constitutional re-establishment of the lib-
erty of the press. This-is a case of do-
mestic violence. If he has not power
enough here in Kentucky, I demand ofhim
in the name of the spirit of the 4th article
ofthe constitution, to call upon James K.
Polk, President of the United States, to
assist with all the power of the National
arm, in vindicating the violated laws and
broken Constitution. The liberty of the
press is my inheritance. Itis mine,by the
common law of the land. Congress has
no right to take it away, but to make it
secure. l implore the American peopleto
vindicate their birthright and mine. To
the national government I owe allegiance
and in turn I claim of it protection; ide-
mand of the Congress ofthe United States
to pass suitable laws, by which the rebels

their pledge, and renew their violence,
may be brought to summary punishment,

speech and of the press. Yes, Americans
ifyou are not slaves, this thing will have
toibe done. It is your cause, and not
mine. Justice demands it—your own
safety demands it——virtue and humanity
demand it-—then, in the name of God and
Liberty, let it be done.’

Eight days later from Europe,

flrrival of the Great B/'2'tai1z.

The Great Britain arrived at her wharf
about 8 o’clock on \Vednesday bringing
Liverpool papers of September 27th, on
which day at 4 ,o’clock, P. M. she left
Liverpool.

During the voyage the ship it is said he-
haved atlmira‘oly,though opposed by strong
Vtfesterly gales and a heavy sea for the
first ten days. ln a heavy N. E. sqall,
on the 2d inst., the foremost was carried
away. On the 1"3th, at noon, found the
shi_;> had been set 36 miles to the North-
ward in the ireceding ‘.Z»l- hours, and
found by sounrliugs the ship again set to
the Northwarcl 30 miles, from noon of the
12th, to 2 A. M. of the 13th, and among
the shoals offNan ucket; a thick, dirty
night, with very heavy rain. At daylight
made signal for a pilot and ran into Vine-
yard Sound, and remained ten hours and a
half. Left at half past ten on Tuesday
morning, and reached Sandy Hook at 11
o’clock the same evening, where she re-
mained for want ofwater until Wednesday
morning.

' ‘he Great Britain has 105 passengers,
among whom is Leopold De Meyer, the
distinguished pianist.

T/ze Crop.9.—ln relation to the crops the
Liverpool European Times says:

At the sailing of the last packet, we
stated that the wet weather, after an :in-
terval ofnearly three weeks, had return-
ed; and that the outstanding crops which
it was believed were small in quantity,
would suffer seriously by the change. The
accounts from the northen part of the
ltingdom speak despondingly of the inju-
rious effects of the change; and it now
appears that the progress made in cutting
and housing the produce of the fields du-
ring the continuance of warmth and sun-
shine was not so great as had been antici-
pated. The price of grain is rising rapid-
ly, as a glance at our tnarléet returns will
show. Even at the present moment there
is a good deal of outstanding produce in
the field. The fine weather has again re-
turned, but the season is too far advanced
to permit the sun to have much power, and
no doubt can exist, that the husbandman
who did not “take Time by the forelock,”
when" the opportunity offered, will suffer
severely by his indolence. Wfith the rise
of the markets, fears respecting the com-
ing winter begin to prevail.

The failure ot the potatoe crop is almost
general, and to meet the deficiency which
that calamity’-has occasioned, large quan-
tities of rice and bond grain have been ta-
ken out ofbond for transhipment to France,
Holland and Belgium.

JlIz'ssz'ng paclcel-s/tip England.-Great
interest has been excited in England, since
the departure of the Cambria, in conse-
quence of a bottle having been picked up‘,
on the 16th Sept. at sea, four miles south-
east of Douglass Head, containing a piece
ofpaper, on which was written, in pencil,
an intimation that the vessel was then in
lat. -1.5. 10, lon. 93 7 ; that she had lost her
quarter boats; that there was 10 feet wa-
ler in her hold, and no vessel in sight.

Her Majesty and His Royal Highness
Prince Albert, after an abscence trom
\Vindsor of upwards of three months, re-
turned to the Castle on the 25th Sept.

The Queen had held a privy Council,
at which Parliament was prorogued from
Thursdav, the 2d of Oct. to Thursday the
27th, of November.

The Hutchinson family from Boston
have been giving a series of successful con-
certs at Liverpool.

The Paris correspondent ofthe London
Times states that. the French Government
has become heartily ashamed of the ri-
diculous position which it occupies at Ta-

- hill, and that it has determined to abandon

the islands. This report is confirmed by
the fact of a vessel which was about to'sail
from Brest to the Pacific with reinforce-
ments having been countermanded.
Russ2'a.——In the months of June and Ju-

T.1e.Mo7'mon I'Var has probably ended
for the present. The Convention at Car-
thage, composed "of delegates from nine
Counties, unanimously determined that
the Mormons could not and should not re-
main longer than till next spring. Some
were for having them start immediately
this fal , while they had something to go
with. The most of them having r.-.ised a
good crop this season, and no real estate!
to dispose of, could go better this full thanl
in the spring. Others thought they had?
better give them until spring to get off, iff
they behaved well until then, which was
finally agreed upon. But where will they
go’! No State or Territory wheze they
are known will have them, orhnrdly allow
them to pass through the country. Cal-
ifornia is said to be the place‘ of their des-
tination. .

Gen. Hardin has arrested Backenstos.
and, it was said, intented to send him to

Hardin had left the place with the forces
under his command.

A prominent person among the locos de-
clared after the result of the Town Meet-

favor of licensing all to sell ardent spirits
who wished, he voted for the temperance
ticket “because he believed if successful
it would at the Spring election turn crgru‘/z.vt

loco foco leaders will make capital for
themselves out of the new license law if
possible, although the granting of li:ences
is done by commissioners chosen for that
and that purpose ot'ily.—./lIz'clzilelown Con.

WHAT;-HAVE THE ABOLITIONISTS
' DONE? ’

The N. Y. Journal of Commerce has a long
article, on the subject of the perverse conduct of
the Abolitionists in relation to the affairs of the
American Board of Missions. We ‘extract the
following synopsis of their doings:

“VVell, what did these extra zealous men
do for the immediate abolition ofslavery'!

I"1'rst, as we have intimated, they de-,
nonnced colonization in the most vehement!
terms. That was a scheme, they said.l
“engendered in hell ;" and as they had been i
the fathers of it, or at least its early nurses,
they ought to know.

Secondly, They organized anti slavery,
societies throughout the free States. i

'1'li2'rrlly, They .procured Abolition lec-i
turers to go throughout the free States,-
and established presses, and so taught the
people in all possible ways what they knew,
before, and convinced them of who.) they:
never doubted. l

Four!/ti/y, They set up young women in",

Remarkable Cz'rcumstance.—Two years
ago four oxen with 4-0 or fifty head of cat.
tle were turned out near Moosehead Lake
in Maine, but could not be found after ev-
ery search. Recently, however, they
were accidentally discovered near Mt.
Katahan, and were in first rate order, al-
though they had not a lock of hay all last
winter. Thus they roamed over thousands
and thousands of acres, eating nothing but
browse and brakes. When discovered,
‘they appeared to be aspleased as a child
after a long absence from its mother,’ and
would run up to, and round the man, as
almost to endanger his life. “Then found
they were yarded like the moose, and
probably they yarded every night during
the past winter, or kept together, as no
other yard like a moose yard was observa-
ble for miles around.

Passengers on the Ilzuloo-n R'ver.—Ev-
idence given before the Senate committee
to investigate the cause of the disaster to
the-ill-fated Swallow, proved that the num-

spring, independent of the contingency of
selling our property; and that this com-
pany will comprise from live to six thou-
sands souls.

'1 hat the church, as a body,» desire to re-
move with us, and will, if sales can be
made so as to raise the necessary means.

That the orgariization of the church .we
represent, is such, that there nevercan ex-
ist but one head or presidency, at any one
time, and all good members wish to he
with the organization; and all are deter-
mined to remove to ‘some distant point

That we wish it distinctly understood

that the Grand Lodge of the U. S. has au-

third vote, to grant certificates to the wives
and widows of the members, by which
means they can, when amongst strangers,

make known their relationship to the Or--

from its members that courtesy and kind-
ness which the principles of the Ozder in-
culcate. A good idea.

This reminds us, says the State Journal‘

account of the gallant rescue of Miss
Onslow from the wreck of the Pulaski by
a Mr. Ridge, to whom she was afterwards
married, and brought a fortune of $200,
000, remarl-:ed that Miss Onslow might be-
very pretty and a great heiress,but for her.-
own part, she had rather he drowned any
time than be saved\by sitting alone on a
piece of the wreck, with a young man, im
