Political. From the New York Herald. Ma. BENVLTT's LETTEws--Letter No. I. WASHINoTON. Jan. 15. I went to-day. at an early hour, to pro cure a seat in the gallery of the Senate, for the purpose of hearing Mr. Calhoun deliv er his opinions on the Land Question. The first row was soon filled with ladies and on no former occasion, have I seen so many pretty articles in the markets of love and matrimony. Sidce I was in the habit or visiting Washington, these fair visitors have increased amnaimgly and im proved as much. They come now as thick as they go to Saratoaa in Summer. It is rather a pleasant place to lounge a few days. Mr. Calhoun made a short speech, but very much to the purpose. He gave a picture of the progress of this country for the next twenty years, which formed the basis of his views on the land question. In less than that period, the new States would control the legislation in Congress. Was it not better, then, to meet the question at once, sell out all the public lands to the West, and close a question that would for ever agitate Congress? He would vote a gainst the graduation bill of Mr. Benton, because he would go further, and "dis pose" of the whole public domain, at fair prices, to the various States in which they are located. Mr. Calhoun's views were concise,clear, and calculated to win the new States to his project. I like Mr. Calhoun's mode of speaking. It is founded on the same principles which regulate the manufacture of good editorial articles-a perfect unison between analy sis and condensation. I must say I have not thought much of Mr. Clay's views or reasonings against the reduction of the price of public lands. One of the prime causes in the late revul sion was the operation of the present land system. As now organized, we will have these disturbances renewed during every period of high speculation. Yet Mr. Clay is in favor of retaining this system. Mr. Benton's system is only a modification of the same plan-and would produce the same results. Then again, Mr. Clay's ar gument that a reduction of the price of public land, would be unjust to the Atlan tic States, is a poposition still more ridicu lous. The cheaper the public lands are, the sooner the West will be settled. The Atlantic States can, through their commer cial relations, make more by facilitating the rapid growth of the west, than if they were to keep the lands at high prices for a cen tury. The land system is only a modifi. cation of the best modern system of coloni. nization-but Mr. Clay's views are nar row, short sighted, and entirely destitute of a grasp of the subject. Mr. Calhoun's are decidedly the most philosophical and statesman like of any of their plans. LETTER NO. XII. WAsHINoToN, Jan. 16. I have just heard the tilt between Clay and Calhoun on the question of the pub lic lands-the one the greatest intellectual loafer, and the othtr the most theoretical geaneraliser of tbis age or country. What a little portion of wisdom is necessary for government! In the morning, it was an nounced that Mr. Clay was to speak in re ply to Mr. Calhoun. Knowing that all the fair and beautiful visitors in Washing ton would be in the gallery of the Senate, thitherward did I wend my way, very calmly and very coolly like a young poli tician trundling cabbages to market. The first tier of the gallery was full of ladies; and I must say that I never saw, in any collection, so large a proportion of real beauty, bright eyes, grace and every ele ment that produced the fall of man, and the loss of paradise. I took my position directly opposite the chair, and had a fine view of the States on each side of the semi-circle. The Loafers' gallery is in the neighbor hood of Col. Johnson. It was soon full al also. Precisely at twelve o'clock, the clergy man offered up his benediction, praying piously for wisdom from on high to enlight etn the setnatorial body. Unfortunate ly. however, the results heretofore have shewed that his prayers are seldom or never attended to-and still less are those or the chaplain of the House. I could not help admiring the behavior of the la dies and loafers, each in theirown gallery. These pretty w..men beaded reverently their lovely necks, and stooped down witb the grace of so many angels. The gal lants, attachees, and jgentlemen behind them, looked up as unteeling as so many oysters at low water. Not so with the loafers in their gallery. There they stood heads uncovered, and reverently lookirig to the ground-a perfect pattern of propri ety and decency. This by the way. After the usual busi ness of the morning-, Mr. Clay got up and made his reply. It was a very moderate effort, anid by no means increased, in my opinion, the intellectual reputation of Mr. Clay. It was what I call the speech of an intellectual loafer, without order, ar rangement, analysis, or generalization. He characterises .the plan to reduce the price of public lands as "waste"-'des truction," &c. This is an entire tmisap plication of language. The ceeper the lands are put up for sale, the more rapidly will the population, wealth, and happiness of the country increase. Mr. Clay has great readiness. some wit, and a tolerable imagination, hut in the ele ments of real intellect, analysis, anidgener nizaion~he is far infecrior to Mr. Cnananu. There is a classic severity in the thought and style of Calhoun,that is perfectly fresh and original. When I formerly attended Congress before 1832, neither Clay, nor Ualhoun.were in the position they now oc ccupy towards each other. During my visit here, I shall make it my business to attend their efforts on every occasion, & to satisfy myself of their talents and capabili ties without partiality, for I belong to no party but that of intellect, independence, philosophy,woman, and I may add, the al mighty'-dollar. Neither of these eminent men did I ever speak to-neither of these will I ever be introduced to, till I have made up my opinion of their relative ner its and talents. The miserable trash, praise and nonsense, which have been published of them. I cast aside as fit only for school boys. The little tilt to day will proiably 9e represented in two opposite lights by the respective partisans of each. To nie it was evident that Calhoun had the advantage of intellect, argument, and statesmanship-Clay the superiority in wit, voice, and isolated points. Mr. Cal houn's mind indicated more of that talent which makes the statesman-Mr. Clay's that which constitutes the popular oratoi or stump speaker. Mr. Clay is a Cicero -Mr. Calhoun a Julius Cesar. At the close. Mr. Calhoun took the op portunity to declare, eolemnly,tbat he was no "aspirant for the Presidency." The delicate irony of this remark seemed to produce little effect on his great rival. But enough of Clay and Calhoun for the present. As these two men promise to be future rivals in this country, I shall take especial pains to watch their movements, and come to some independent and accu rate conclusion of their respective merits, before I return. Miscellameous. MEMORIAL OF MARIA HELENA AMERICA VESPUCCI. Praying a donation of public land, and that she may be admitted to the rights of citizenship. Ordered, That so much thereof as re lates to public land be referred to the committee on Puble" Lands; that so much. as relates to the rights of Citizenship be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary; and that it be printed in the original French with an English translation. To the Congress of the U. States: Maria Helena America Vespucci, a des cendant of the celebrated Americus Ves pucius, of an illustrious family of Florence, is now in America-In the United States. She has been obliged to quit her country on account of her political opinions. She has separated herself from her family, in order to avoid drawing upon them the dis pleasure of their Government. She is now alone, without country, without family, and without protection! America Vespu cci quitted Florence on the 4th of October, 1834, and has been travelling from country to country withotit a resting place, (appui,) without security, sustained only by the internal conviction, of having performed a duty to her country. After many difficulties she arrived in France. There she, found an asylum. The good Queen of the French restored her to courage by granting her protecti.m, [even) so far as to permit her to travel under the auspices of the French flag. But this generosity does not give her a country; this protection does not bestow upon her the title of a citizen. The detailsof the life of a young female, out of her country, would be too long to relate. Every person of delicate feelings may imagine her sad and painful situation. Shte is now in this quarter of the globe, wnich has been baptised by her ancestnr; by him who has bequeathed to it his im perishable name, and who may be said to have at the same time, blessed it from hea ven; for this nation, thoab young, is al ready one of the first in the world. It is prosperous and richt it is his name that it bears. And if, moreover, Americus Ves pucius be regarded only qa one of those old father mariners (sieuz peres marina.) whom civilized nations take so much pleas ure in rewarding for their former services in the persons of their descendants, to whom should America Vespttcci apply if not to A merica, which now possesses superiority, and strength on the ocean ? America Vespucci wilt make no demand on the American Government. Those who make demands,are pasumed to have rights to be established or justice to claim. She has neither. She knows that the A mericans have been magnanimous towards all, who have done a noble act for their country; and that they have moreover. granted protection and even assistance to etmigrants from other nations. There is none but a Vespucius who has given his name to a quarter of the globe. Will the Americans 'do nothing for the descendant of A mericus? She desires a country, she seeks a land that will receive her as a friend. She has a name; that is all her inheritance, all her fortune. Mlay this hospitable na tion ghtnt her a corner of that land in which it is so rich, and may the title of citizen be bestowed apon the poor emi grant! If Amerieus Vespucius were now alive, the Americans would rush in crowdsto of. fer hitn honors and rewarnds. In the 19th century, will this civilized nation forget that in the veins of his descendants flows the same blood! America Veupucci col lected all her little fortune to reach this country; now she desires only to make known-her position to the Copgress of this giest nation, feeling confident that the A mericans will never abanden be.. Ah will not ask, having no other claim than that of bearing the name of A merica, but she wiU receive a gift from the nation by which she hopes not to be regarded as a stranger. That will not humiliate her. Such an act of generosity will console her feelings, honor &ir name.flatter her family, and even her c atry. The gifts of a na tion always ho4.those who receive them. When the world shall know that the American nation has done an act of gen erosity in favor of the descendant of Ves pucis,will not the approbation of all man kind lie a glorious recompense? And true gratitude will remain in the heart of AMERICA VESPUCCI. WAsarnq-rofi. Jan. 29, 1839. AN INTERESTING WIDOW. The following account was furnished the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette, by a Wash ington correspondent: I noticed among the crowd of fashion that Bitted through the Avenue, a widow lady, whose history is so very singular, and whose personal charms are so attrac tive, that I linger with wonder over the first, and with honest devotion and admi ration over the last. This lady is not on the other side of five and thirty years, and yet she has lost four husbands! and what is most extraordinary, they all died by violence. The first hus band was killed in rowing a regatta be tween London Bridge aud Shoreditch. He was aboard of the winning barge, the Lady Stanhope, when a man in the losing barge, the Duke of Suffolk, struck him with the blade of an oar, in a moment of irritation, and the poor fellow died a few days afterwards. The wire and widow, of course, went into weeds, and retired to the rural scenes of Warwickshire; where she resolved tospend the remainder of her days in seciusion. It did so happen, how ever, that a gallaut and fashionable Major, attached to the 84th regiment of h Majes ty's infantry, found his way to the young widow's retreat in Warwickshire; and, al though her grief was excessive, sincere and unqualified, she could not for the soul of her, resist his eloquence, when he threw himself at her feet and descanted with all the eloquence of a Tully, and in the min gled cadences and sentences of a philoso pher and platonic lover, of the delights of a 'fourth estate," in the worldof beauty. He talked of love and honor, and chivalry; and swore that he lived but to adore her, he was ready to meet the nonlest and most gallant Knigirt that the world could afford. at the tournament, and win the favor of his lady love by trial at battle. The lady listened, lingered and wept and rejoiced over the passions of the lover; at last, cast off her weeds, and abjured the Sylvan scene.s of Warwickshire, gave her hand to the gallant major, and set up an establish ment in Moor-fields, Fishing Square. A few months after her union with the major, she accompanied him on an excur sion to Belgium. While at Brussels, they spent an evening in the Library of the Orange palace, and the lady received, as it was subsequently supposed, an uninten tional iusult, at the hands of an Austrian colonel. The mjor was impetuous; in a paroxysm of madness he spat in the face of the offender. The usual cards were forth with exchanged, and the sequel was a duel on the banks of the Seine. At the first fire, the major fell mortally wounded, and scarcely had time to commend his wife to the protection of an English Admiral, then at Brussels, before he surrendered "--his honors to the world again' His blessed partto heaven,andsleptin peace." Again were weeds and seclusion resor ted to, by the unfortunate lady; and, she had resolved at.due time, to enter a mon astic instit tion, and devote herself to the rosary and the cross; but, ere she could carry her rash. design into execution, a Scotch merchant, a native of(Glasgow, a man distinguished for his wealth and com mercial~enterprize, who accidentally hap pened to be in Brussels, sought, wooed and won her already twice widowed heart. They were married at the Hotel de Ville, and soon after migrated to London. The husband, not more than a month after his marriage, was called by imperious business to Scotland, and leaving his wife at her es tablishment in Moor fields, sailed in the ill fated Rothsay Castle steamer for the north. With that unfortunate vessel, he went 'down to the bottom" of the Deep, deep sea. and from that disastrous day, no fond hope of the ultimate restoration of his lifeless form has greeted the anxious ear of love and affection. Bat the widow was not des tined to tremain in her "third estate" of weeds and anguish. Sir Charles ""* about the period of the widow's third wid owhood, returned to London, flushed with success, and possessed of wealth abundant, from Coromandel. He sought and found the widow of- oor-fields, as she was then familiarly designated, and i t is scarcely ne cessary to say; that that dashing and gal lant soldier was soon the "commissioned lord and master" of that young widow's heart.: Soon after tho marriage, of Sir Charles with' the widow-it might have been eight or ten months afterwards-he was ordered on'a diplomatic mission to the German States, and whilst making ajour ney from Lubec to Frankfort,on the Mayne, in a stage coach, the vehicle was assailed by robbers, and Sir Cha~es and all the in mates, were brutally murdered. The wife, now once moresa widow, had remain ed in England, and was left to weep over the death of a fourth husband, who, like his predecesbors, had fallen by the hands of violence. I met this lady in Florence and Rome oomo few iesarn ma. 8ha was eben jnti mate at the villa of the Marquis of Has tings, and it was there I first learned her extraordinary story. Yesterday I met her in the Pennsylvania Avenue, and to my surprise, she recognised me. She remains in the city but a few days however, and is now on her way from the city of Mexico to London. She is beautiful, and though her life has been chequered by melancholy and disastrous incidents, she appears to have lost none of her pristine buoyancy of spirits: nor have the united attacks of time and sorrow made any impression on the elegance of her form or the brilliancy of her personal beauty. In reply to a good natured remark that I made in relation to the sweets of matri mony, she said. "I know little of the rap tures on which you dilate. There was a time when I could appreciate them; but I suppose that if I listen to your sex, I shall be obliged to take another husband. But, oh me! I dread the idea, for it appears that a fatality atuends me, All die whom I love and the man who takes me next must possess more courage than the Austrian troops did at Jena!" I do not doubt that the widow, ere the lapse of a couple of months, will have her fifth l4usband! CURE FoR A LtVER COMPLANT.-A gentleman of Baltimore, who had for a long time imagined himself dying with the liver complaint, was advised by his physi cian. Dr. Crawford, to make an excursion into. the state of Ohio. After an absence of some months, he returned home in good health; but, upon receiving information of the death of his twin brother, who had ac tually *died of a diseased liver. he immedi ately staggered, and falling down, cried out he was a dead man; and had, as he al ways expected, died of the complaint of his liver. Dr. Crawford being sent .for, immediately attended; and on being inform ed of the notion which had seized the hyp ochondriac, he took hold of his arm, and feeling his pulse, exclaimed, 0 yes, the gentleman is certaintly dead, and it is no more than probable that his liver was the death of hint. However, to ascertain the cause, I will cut him open before putrefec tion takes place. He called for a carving knife, and whetting it as a butcher would do to open a ead calf, he went to him and began to open his waistcoat. The dead man became so horribly frightened,. that he leaped up with the utmosi agility and crying out murder! murder! murder! ran oil with a speed that would have defied a whole college of physicians to have caught him; after running a considerable distance, until he was almost exhausted, he halted; and not fiuding the doctor at his heels, son became composed, and frout that period was never known to complain of his liver, although he lived upwards of twenty years after it. So wE TsINK.-An exchange paper commenting on the close of the year, and of the mental and physical toil which the editor has undergone in order to serve his readers with an instructive and useful sheet, and of the scauty recompense of that toil, concludes in the following sensible and manly terms: "That man who has a fam ily and does not take a newspaper, neg lects a most important and responsible du ty. In our humble estimation. he does not properly esteem the interests of his child ren." From the very first establishment of newspapers in this country, this undenia ble fact has been rung in the ears of parents; yet how feebly it has been responded to! Many, it is true, have availed themselvesof the intellectual light shed around the fami ly circle by well conducted newspapers; bit the number, comparatively, is insig nificant. Point us out the matn who does not take a newspaper, or borrow his neighbor's and we point to a man who is, in regard to pleasing and scientific knowl edge, a hundred years behind the age in which he lives, and whose children will grow up destitute of moral culture and in tellectual grace,-N. O. Picayune. WELLERSMs.-"You're a Bharp 'utt" as the pig said to the butcher's knife, vben it stuck him, '-Always take time by the forelock," as the pickpocket said, vhen he drew out the gentlemaa's watch by the chain., 'Frequent settlements make long friends,' as the squatter said to the alligator, when he found him snugly burrowed und* his log cabin. "Necessity is the mother of invention," as the cook said, vhen she used her night cap for a pudding bag. "You are always welcome to my table," as the farmer said to the turkey, vhen he 'cut off his head. -'Rents are entormous," as the loafer said, vhen he looked-at his breeches. "Here's into you,',. as Jonah said when he was making a submarine excursion into the whale's belly. A Bust FELLow,-There is an editor down east who is not only hisown compoui tor, pressman and devil, but keeps a tav ern, is village post master, captata in the militia, mends his own boots and shoes, makes patent Brandreth pills, peddles es sences and tin ware two days in a week, and al" ays toads sermons on the Sabibath, when the minister happens to be missing In addition to all this he has a wilh and six children. "Do you snore, Abel Adams!" "No Seth Jeff'erson, 1 do never snore." "Hloiv do you know A bel?" "Because the other day 1 laid awake tile whole gigsht-o 0f noe to 5ee," . HEALTH AND LoNoEVITY.-The chara acter of the early riser, says Macnish, is the very reverse of that of the sloven. His countenance is ruddy, his eye joyous and sereue,and his frame full of Yigor and act(, vity. His mind is also clear and uncload. ed, and free from that oppressive languor. which weighs like a night-mare upon-tha spirit of the sluggard. The same writer in another place.oA serves-The most striking instances o the good efTec:s of early rising are to he found in our peasantry and farmers,whosa bale complexions, good appetites, and vig. orous persons, are evidences of the benekt derived from this custom, conjoined with labor; while the wan, ur healthy counte nance ani enfeebled frames of those who keep late hours, lie long in bed, and pass the night in dissipation, study or pleasuro, are equally conclusive proofs of the peron cious consequences resulting from an oppo. site practice. One principal advantage to health re& suiting from early rising is, that it drives us to bed early. He Who rises at four, will not long sit up till eleven, or twelve, or one Nature may be wronged for a./ - time, but her demands are so imperious, that few will persevere in resisting her.. even when fashion is with them. So long as people are permitted-or rather permit themselves-to lie in bed till six, seven, or eight o'clock in the forenoon, so long will they be unable to resist the tempta tions to sit up to an hour which is unfavora. ble to health. But when they have sue ceeded in rising at four, uniformly, they will be apt soon to learn to retire at nine or ten. Hence arises the greatest shire of gain which is derived from early rising. EFFICACY OF PRATEa.-The prayer of a righteous man availeth much. We havo indeed, no reason for hoping that our tardy devotions can open the gates ofheaves for a sinner whose day of grace is faded into darkness, and who has gone to his account in unbelief and final impenitence; but of those who yet live, it is hard to decide who have absolutely "sinned unto death,"-an4 we are still less able to determine how of ten the devotions of the faithful have oh. tained for those, whose case was most to be despaired of, a fresh and efficacious vi sit from the Spirit of Grace and Comfort, and a little farther respite to recover their strength, before they departed hence and were no more seen. It was a memorablo saying of Ambrose'to the mother of An gustin, when she lamented to him the in. disposition which her son at that time dise played to all religious feeling, I have nevet known the son allowed to perish,for whose soul so many prayers and holy tears inter. ceded." Nor when we hear, in like manu ner, complaints from parents and teachers, of example and entreaty thrown awa yo47 the levity and stubborness of those wh90 hearts they have desired to softea and ameliorate, can ive avoid sometimes sis. rcling that their pains might haie had a happier effect, if His help had been duly sought for who only giveth tire increase either to the earthly, or'spjiudl husband. man, Texas.-TheTexianCoWes~ adjourned the24th uIt.
