It was late In the day before the toasting was over, and the yellow tints of the evening sun were beginning to grow pale. But yet one thing remained to be attended to-the perfor mance. of an ancient play called " Walking for the Cake." The snow white pyramid was only surpassed by the modesty and beauty of the maidens who surrounded i, and the gallantry of their youthful admiters.' The whole made up a scene of rural simplicity, which is seldom looked upon without feelings of complete santis faction, The musicins played the "White Sul phur Watz' with much spirit. while the suc cessful competitors for the cake distribined it to the surroundiiig crowd. Thnsended the day. For lhe Adrcrliscr. A VISiON. To the Editor of the H1amburg Journal: Last night; when the suns bright rays had fl-d, And darkness o'er the earth its bable wings had spiead, , tired by the lore of men now dead, Shut up all books, and sought my humble bed, And there, when sleep hind taken me to her care, Iliad a dream, a dream which none but you shall hear: It seemed as it' several months there course had run, And all over our land shone the winters sun, Methought that Henry; about whom so much is said, Had disappeared and hid his drooping head, Havuag bid farewell to Adams his loving friend,. He retired to Ashland, there his remaimong days tospend; And too, I thought, from Tennesseces'soil a Poke stalk had arisen, So strung, that it defied those blasts by winter driven, - And so tall, so spreading, that every person in union, Could gather under its branches in sweet com msuion; And there they all did gather, both young and old, both rich and poor, Save some few, who, ir favours, with Clay to Ashland would go; Those, who under the Poke stalk set, talked of their country's glory, Those, who with Clay to-Ashland went, told each a long story,. Of what they had done in urging his cause, or fighting his battles, By their cutting wit, their potent reasons, and lying tattlcs, And to all and each, from his munificence, Clay something tendered, According as their stories pleased, or according to the services reiidered; To the gamblers. he gave lessons from H oyle on cards aiid back gammon, And bid them watch the Pokeits, and lick 'em damn -'em, To the swearers, he gave Tom Payne and such like books, As will make a christian frown who in them looks; So on to all, lie gave a gift, and to. you Mr. Editor I reully think, He uave a bob tail mule, which of age did stink ; He Yike wise put upon your full brained skull a hat. Made of Coon skins, or somethbing like that ; Havng received your full reward, you mount ed your mule, And set out for Hamburg. to assume yourstaff and rule; But scarce had you touched Tennessees' Poke shaded ground, Before your mule took a scare, and you fell tumbling down; afethoght by the fall your neck was quite For iflife wasin yourbody. breath was no token; I followed you to judgement, and from thence saw you sent To purgatory ; from wltence you likewise soon went, To a place further beyond, where none ever d well, Except those whose deeds are too enormons for hell; Here deep sympathy pierced mue, and from my slumbers I awoke, And fiuding this but a dream, into a laughter I broke. The above is only a dream, but ir, would be Editor, have not dreams an interpretation, and will not the present aspect of our political hor izon justify me to infer from this dream, that next November James K. Polk, of Tenn. will e onr President elect, and that Henry Clay, of Ky., the friend of Adams, and the abuser of Jackson, the quondam ernemy of itandolph, and the present hater of Calhoun, will find upon his own farm that retirement which his inconsistent public acts seem to entitle him to. Can I not likewise ieaso::ably infer from this, that manay, who were induced to supporgthi7 caie, not because they believed in hais primei ciples, hut becatuse they expee~ed by so doing to receive sonme reward, will be disappointed. Among ihe disappoir~ted can I not mark you a' ore? I think I can with perfect safety-; that if it is a possible thing for a brright genias to be diappoitfred. The cause of the Democrats. to which Clay is opposed. is the cause of truth, ad truth 'vill and must flourish ; althouuhkin 1840 its beams were scareeseen in these United States yet now its brightness is far above the horizon's verge, and its melody is heard in every breeze, that comes -from the East. from the West, from the North, or from the South. Clay carries in his lint a charter for a United States Bank, in heis hbrnd he holds a tablet, up on which is-written tariff, distritbdtion,.internal iproveinent, assumption. consolidiation. and utter scorn for Texas. Polk, wishing no bank to make him strong,-or a tariff to enrich a fe w, desires 'the wvelfare of the .whole peopale; lie looks with a benignent :smile towards, and holds forth a paterna[ hand to that lost child of ours whose maiden' cries are heard unpon our. western frontieis. .Sir, air. Editor,;,ol will succeed; for Clay, even if he was "cut out for a Pesident, was'spoilt in making.'' Bui to my dream, 1 followed you to judgement, and from thence saw you sent, . To purgatory ; froan-wheace yondlikewise soon Z.r r~o a pla tirhrbeyond, wiay none ever dwell, Eicep't those 'hose deedse-are to oenormousl h~rlelL -- This part I think has an illusion fo your p1s10 four preseit, and your future e t refers to thi Past, inasmuch asyou lave bien udged by the Democrats, and found unworify o be heard among them; at present you are imongsthe Whigs, who preach the- doctrines if darkness, and soon after- the Presidentiai :anvass shall be over, you will belong to nei her Whig nor Democrat; but a. pitiful object you will wander about spurned by bbth. Air mold was prized by England no longer than she needed his actual services against. his own ountry, and no longer will the Whigs prize you; indeed, they only keep you now to dab ble in such low, Githy stuff, as that which they cannot condescend to notice themselves. .That you are a Coon beslobbered, Clay bedaubed, low, filthy Editor, witness the vile slang which you would seek to shower on Chota, a section af country filled with strong, active Polkats. the feeblest of which can make the - Fnr fy," rrom your old crazy Coon, it indeed anyhas escaped the -!aws of Caroli a, No Coon, the Advertiser, or Anderson Gazette. Yarborough, I cannot look upon you as I do-the most of the Coons; I believe a majority of them think they are right in striving to secure Harry a den in Uncle Sam's corn field; such Coons as these Nave the interest of their country at heart; they build their nests in giant Cypresses or towering Poplars; whilst thipse like yourself are seen;, paddling in slimy mud. living on. crawrfsh and tadpoles. and denning with minks and musk RATs; this gives you an unsavoury scent-a scent which the genuine Coons.eannot long endure. Jab'z Camfield the young man who toasted you at the Red Hill, which is the capital of Cho ta, is a mechanie by trade. residing in the bo rough of Tickville; for aught we know, lie is skilful, sober, honest and industrious; he has m forehead. I expect quite as prominent as yours, and no doubt lie would make as good.an Editor as you'are. I never saw hiit intrude on a company, nor never knew him to meddle with other peoples business; it- is true he thought that Lord Harry ought to reward yo for your exertions, and expressed his sentiment to that etyei't; and in doing this, did he exhibit any symptoms of oddity or strangeness; were there not others who toasted public men on that occasion?' Did not some person say and truly say that Pickens was worthy or'being Dur States Senator? Was not MeDuffie toast 3d 1 Was not Calhoun and likewise others? [ think that you should consider yourself'honor ad, fir being mentioned. where the names of such nen were; and should Clay reward you with a bob tail mule as I dreamed he did, do yon ride him, and when he dies do yon skin him, and when you are aboutto die; do you be riuenth his hide , a rich legacy to your posteri iy." But I shall not meddle with yours and Camfield's affairs; but will merely say that the rea-son why I have addressed you was to 'tell you my dream, to give you my interpretation, and in concluaion to give you a bit of advice. My advice to you is to divorce yourself from the press, to prepare yourself with the instrm ments necessary, and turn ottt to manling rails, or ditching, or rowing a boat, or currying hors es, or blacking boots, or some other employ ment. Nature never intended you for an Fdi tor, then why should you strive to accomplish that which you never can If you are "lean and lank," or squeamish in consequence of the Clay yni have eaten, I invite you. before you set out in your new emplaymerit, to come to Chota ; where, instead of frogs, mushroon's and tadpoles, we will give you - chicken fix ings, flour doings, and egg preparations," and toO we will give you par-boiled shoat.roast beef, fryed meat, gravy, and now and then a few poke berries: all of which is very good for those who eat Clay, and I might add indispen table to those who would split a full task of rails. Be sure to take a full dose of poke ber ries and scour yourselfwell before you comei smong us, for we cannot endure the scent ofr Coot-f A ScHooL Boy or CHo-rA. P. S. Mlost worthy Editor, if instead of com. ing to Chota, you sh'ould choose to kick uap a :ust, and show signs that you wish to fight, I will say to you that I am .eady fr yo, yes I will fight with you, from the dawning of the mornings light, till the decline ofthe evenintgs un ; and as we are both large, very large. no ble, very noble mena, I presume, you will bate. io objectiona to discarding pistols, rifles, yau gers, swords anid such like thingys, as are usually resorted to by others, more feeble titan .onr selves, atnd that you will readily yield assent to mue, whlen I sa9 that 'ot affair should be settled by the nioble cannion;- you can' take your stand ii the fort at St. Angautine, and I will choose the one on Suliivansi Island, thus situated we wdll take a few cracks at each oilher.

I wish the reform God speed ;I would ban~ ishs intoxicating drinks, as a beverage,-from the land; I would, if- I could, carry. the truth to the umind of every man, that alco hol is she fruit f'ul source of disease, of mnise ry and of crime, and that-its use is never necessary but as a medicine. .H aving thus4 dennaed my position, I proceed to notice, in' nao unkind spirit, one of the mnatters wi ii was discusbed before the late.Convenotin. Mr. Ayer, a -Delegate from Bainuwel. introduced a Resolution approving th51 College Temperance Society, and coma. mending-it to the support of the Faculty;. this he'sessained lay a speech, int whint he handled the.Faculty wirb gloves off So unmerciful was the beating, thay1m~ sure the maost hard hearted must have iad~ their sympathies excited- H e said that he was once a student in that.College, that he found an amount of dr-ankennessthere whtich was unparalleled, that lhie Ieft it,~ went to other Colleges, and as thedsilu sioni ofuthe whole, declared thatsbe.Focu ty woere solely res ponsible. I do not pretend to quote iterally from the gentleir-an, b~tit he said ini substance all this, and-muctihnore. . The resolitiion swas opposed by N. 'L. Griffin, Es and the Rev. Mr. DuBose. CasI Me-Willie,, of Camden, advocated it, arid-de'elared that, an the present condition oRtiangs. an the Col lege, he teould neol sentd a sonishere, ad that there weere numbi-i toho wiould go swi i him. -A substitute of Mr. GrtiTm' s-comt mending ihe College Society toal ho have charge of the College,.iscludings of course the Trustees-as well as liibliadIl ty,- was adopted finally, and thjib majtt ter disposed of, Hlaving thus presented the fachamaterial to the issuie, I proceed to the proer rpur pose of this -artidleiwhipch is: tbrrect mis-statements,- to vindicate theialty; and to show that -there is am liitfe timta. tion. in .the Collegesi this usome, :as in the good old days to widih n~ of rlie spealters a lueddl eI ;ie tllor sorier i rn efii6, at itaof Apeak or tbeinseLv.ve Wi all 0fioino Ayhi if.d th~:hblge ieAalaaa Q g -. erhe.AlesCl er it .B& last simmein w osairdeWre assembled'For C Qmmencemenitooasiioz; thiPresident ad i fss6r-frdisode down by eartaInirgenrii64i4di severely injured. - hasbsenbstiitil while sincei'aProf'esoti4 iiiol lege was killed by. 4etid are recently old Yale was esC6; upon o-, mourn thesdeath of oeDof hsJissructor in a similar way.These are '66t'i' happily have n parallil ib our'Gilfege for,. to the credt of uur -peiile be u that since its fortidort. no0persouatrju.'. ry.
