Democratic Wkhig Aiociatioi in Phlla delpla. -This Associution reeently assen bled in 'hiladelphia Josiah Randal. Esq. presided. The Hon. John Sergeant responded to a call, and urged the Whig-< to prepare for the June State Convention. -l.-. S. concluded amid the cheers of the meeting. The Hon. Win. C. areston of South Carolina, was-loudly called for, and addressed the assembly. We copy the following speech of the Honorable Sena tor from the United States GUzette. ."Mr- Prestoh expressed the highest de gree of pleasure which he felt in once more meeting his Whit rethrdu of the f-ity of Philadelphia. It is now. he said, five years since he had visited this city on the invitation of tbose wh on he had now the pleasure of meeting. Ife then stood side by side with men whose lead he was proud to follow -his dtstingaished colleaguea sena tor from Mf-sissippi, a St nator from Al bama, a Senator from Louisiana. and membersof the House of Representatives from *his own state. Those gentlemen were now mostly estran-ie.from him. It ,were unnecessary to go into causes but they bad been such as to leave -him standing alone.the solitary Whig member of the U. States Senate. south of the Potomac. But the cause which lie supported w as the same now, that it was in 1S34-he stood upon the saue ground, inaintained the same principles. and battled aoainst the sime abuses of .power and executive usurpation now, that he did then; and, by the help of God, he would mantain that ground and fight that battle to the last, flinch who might. He alluded to the severe contest which the Whigs in Congress had been comp.-l led to sustain. It required all their exer tiounsto keep the reiinous measures of the ad ministration in check; they could do little else; they had prevented much evil by de feating the SubTreasury Bill, but they could do no more. Even unader the defeat of that hill-its suspension. for it was not yet killed, only scotched-the country be gau to rise from its depressei -ate, aad to exert herenergies. But if this Were the case when the career or the present ail - ministration has been only checked, what might not be expected when the Whigs should displace the present powers that he, and be able to act-efliciently an.l to carry outiheir own conservative principles! Mr. Preston urged upon Ihe Whigs, the necessity of beingUNITED. They must sustain the broad principles of Whigisn. the otily ism, hesaid, by which they could sustain themselves,- If they were united, they might look forward to certain triumph. Tennessee, he said, was with its. Geor gia was with us, North- Carolina, Loui-i ana and Mississippi were with us, and Vir ginia was coming, if she had not already come; and what he asked, had brought thetm to us? The principles-the broad, the catholic, the conservative principles of Whigism. These principles. had sent a Wise of Vir;inia, a Dawson. of Georgia. a Prentiss, of Mississipi. a Bell, of Ten nessee, and a Stanley, of North Carolina, - toCongress. and nobly did they justatu the glorious cause. Yes, he repeated, it is Whig ptinciples. 4 nd Wliig principles alonie, which h.td brought so inany of the Southern St ates to sustain that banner, and to array them selves against this destructive ad mni-itrat tion. I implore you then he -aaid, on: and all, as you may regard the succesi -of these principles and this cauie, to st:and by 'Them and maintain them as the last hop. of tne nation. Do-not suffer any division, let us rally under the same1 h-ttner, and supporting thie constitutional rights of all sections of the country. sta id by each otiter Then out success wvill he certain. - Mr. Prestotu sairl it dlid not perhaips the come him to spe~sk, in this plaice. of men, but as the WVhig flag could not be supapor ted without :shand to hold it aloft whea rei ed. he must be indulged in a remna. - two upon this suhject. Th- fl i.; 'ni -rn which we rally, he baid, was a node. bro:t and expanded one. and proud we were o it: it should be placed in a hand worthy ot' it, and able to spread it forth upon the breeze. That hand is the hand of Henry Clay. To him and to no otherman, mnust our banner be entrusted, if we. would see it gloriously floating aloft, in proud and triumphant victory. Mr. Clay, he said, was a noble man. He, himself.ecame into the Senate witbr strong prejudices against him. He bad warmly opposed hitm long before lhe knew him- In the Senate he fouand himself by his side-he watched him with a suepicious eye-but his prejudices had gradually given way before the power of truth, and from being a suspiciousopponent. he would frankly confess he had become an admtrer of the mail. It was not his eloquence. that was well kiown-it was not the great services which he had rendered his country. and which must he familiar to all, that won him; but it was his noble nature his fearless.support of wvhat his judgment told him was figt, regardless of conse quences, th.$' called forth his admiration. No man ever looked dlanger in the aye with a more ' determined, unblenching countenance, when in the pursuit of truth, or the sustainment of right, than Henry Clay, (great cheering.) * I avow myself therefore for Henry Clay. I will not say 1 believe the Whigs will be defeated unless they rally as one man, in a solid phalanx. I know it, it is inevita ble. But if they do llhus rally, their tri umph is certain, May it be my lot to congratulate'yoihereafter on your victory, rather than condole with you and tnourn with the country in its defeat. Whben Mr. Preston mentioned the name of Henry Clay in connexion with theWhig banner, there was an otutburat. of feeing that , ld of the hold whichthat great tman had on the alrections of the mneeing. Three times three they cheered, and then asked for "one more" before they allowed the speaker to proceed. Newo Ha'psre Eteelion.-T be Adin istratio tieket has succeeded in New Hampshire.

Communications. For the Edgefeld Advertiser Mr. Editor.-[ have told you that I had won a victory of eighteen years war. What sini des the conquest of a war utnless the General k .ows how to reap the benefit of his victory! What signifies the building of a town if the builder does not know how to enjoy the results of his suiccess? I have also told yon that I have aceotpished great designs, and others were ftteningr upon the fruits 'of them. andkthat an ovirhatli-g -night be :ndispensable. Many years experience has given me full proof' that I can plan and execute great works but not en joy the benefits of theta myself; because while I aplaming and executing with both body and mnd zealously, I cannot guard myself against the ingenuity of others from dispossessing me of the same when accomplhshed. The world will have it, that were I to live 6ifty years more, the course of nity pursuits would be the same the worbit will find itself mistaken. Thu first rule of nature tells us that we mtust labor for our existence and be useful to manm kind. I feel satisfied that I have dlone my~ part, and believe the samte is acknowedgend by the world. Ishall now begin to sell of. and square I am now wanted to help build a Turnpike road from Hamburg tothie mountains. I deem that enterprize a practical one, and the impor tance it would give to Hamburg cannot be told yet I de -line enjoying the honor conferred onm me as one of the Commissioners Imray, how ever, do one thing. Intending to visit.Europe this sprimng, I might bring a nuimber of my countrymen to serve as laborers in that enter prize. The object oft that visit is in part to pu, in operation that direct trade~ between this country and Europe which seems so natural,for we have th.- samte seas, and use the same ships a those of the North. For that purpose seve rl conventions were held itn the Union. at which many speeches were made,6fne diumert eaten. and the sib er cup given tom Williatr Dearin, but nothing more has ben done ton ty k owledge; I suppose the golden cup isvery properiy reserved for mc. I p resume it will not be denied that Sunth Caronta was the first Stato. and I the first man that brotght this great enterprize to the vie w of the Sounthernt people; for on the 19th day of December, 1 835, the Legislature granted me an act of incorporation to carry on this impor tant object, and here are this words: "Be it en acted by the Senate and House -of Returesenta tow met in general assntmbly, and by the author. ityof the same. thatt Henry Shultz.

She wasr but "a faint shadow of uncertain light." It was her misfortune to be the giddy folloive- o'f "Pashion," and all her beauty was sacrificed upon its altar. Her color did rtot suit her, and she resorted to the ten thonsand and one nostrum% to make herself pretty The consequence was, that her smnoothness of face was sue reeded bv crops of pimples anti other ex eresienees: A sort of hill and dale O'ehe'y. which howevef- necessary in the eye of the Paiter, to give interest to the landse:ape, is fatal in etietale beauty.
