MSCELLANEOUS. Feom the southern Chronicle. CASSIUS M. CLAY AND His ThUE AMER ICAN It appears that this notorious individual has re-commenced the publication of his paper at Cincinnati, with the date as for merly, at Lexington, Ky He has writ ten a lengehj address, in hit usual style, intended to arouse a feeling of weement against those men nho nere instismental in removing his press from learacky. He acknowledges that he was the author (if that very obnoxious article, in which slaveholders were warned to "remeraber that there were strong arms 4ad fiery hearts and iron.pikes in the streets, and panes of glass only between them. and the silver and plate on the board, and the fair skinned woman on the ottonian :" but centends that this expression was only in tended to assert that "virtue is the only true basis for republics." The Lexington Obserrer of the 8th contains a full statement of the procee dings had before the citN Court of Lexing ton, on the arrangement of a part of the Committee of Sixty, by whom Mr. Clay's press nias removed, on a charge of riot. Ot the part of the city, the lending facts in the premises. were proved-that the committee of sixty went in a quiet and orderly ntanner, as the representatives of the public meeting, to the oflice..the key given ttp to them by one of the eitj ofli cers. were inforniod by ito Mayor that wvh;.t they were about to do was illegal, but that ibe authorities could offer no op position to them-that they proceeded to take down and park up the press, &c., which was sent off to Ciuciliatti ; t1at every thing w'as dotne in quiet and orderly mtanter, the comn'itee themselves enfor cing silence anld tite observance of order by the crowd. We cannot give. as we could n ish. the entire testimony taken o the part of the defence, whic! beni-s hard upon the conduct ofMr. Clay. For the purpose of proving the effect produced by the True American paper upou the slave population, a host of wit nesses were introduced, among them the Mayor of the city, atl of whon . testified that since the first appearance of the pi per, a most marked change could be pet ceived in the conduct of the negioes ; the Mayor stated that baids of them had fre quently since that tittte had marched past his deor, with great noise, as if i defiance of hi* authority, which they had never done before ; all testified that since that tine, the slates had become far inotY idle, indepndJent,-disobedient and hard to main age ; it was proved that more thefts had been contmitted, tnure slaves sold to the south, somo of them expressly on accot'nt of conversations overhead about the pa. per) than were ever before known in the same length of titne ; it was in evidence that in some sections of the country, nore than one half the slaves had fire arms, whicn was never belbre known ; that they were itn the habit of assembling upon the high road at late hours of the night in groups, and tlipearded to be concerting uischief-that in one instance an attack had been made by several, upon twe dwelling of a v; lite man ; and in anotter. that a body of them had assembled with their officers, marchitg rank and file, like trained soldiers, brandishing their hemp hooks ; that blaves were in the habit of reading the paper firom the titme of its comnmencement, and in one instance that a slao had gotten it iromn the office of i's poublicaiion, wthere lie had paid tet cents for it; that t-e slaves were in the habit of singing songs, wh. se refrain was, "we'll soon be free-hurrah for Cash Clay that they looked up to hint as able to set thema free. atnd that htis paper was estab lished for that purpose ; atnd finally, thtat, in some instances, they considered them selves as free as the whites, and refused to do their wtrk.-These facts were estab fished by a multitude of witnesses; and there was nto one who, on htis oath, dissen ted from the opinion that the True Amer icatn was exerci'itng a most delemorious influence upon the slave popujilatin. After the testnmony had been closed, the Court instrncted tfe jury, upon the law of the case us follows: "That if the Jury believe from the evi dence in their cases, that the defendants eto thtis prosecution, assetmbled with' the in sent, and did with violentce attd fihree take possession of the True Aetmerican oilee, they are guilty of a riot, and they muse fid them guilty, and assess theitr fine in their discretion from one cent to one hun dred dollars. The remainder of the procee-dings are thtus stated by the Observer : The defendants then asked tlle following intructi:ns: 1st, That as the proceedintg was guasi criminal, the jury were the judges of the law and facts. 2d, That'the people have a right to aante a tnisance, atnd in its abatement to use just as mucht force ats mtight be neces sary for that pttrpose The Coure give the first instruction asked by defendants with the qualificatiotn that although not legally, the jury were morally hcou, d to decide according to thte lawv given them by the Cotft't. The second instruction asked by them, Court reftused, at: the saine time re-mark ing, thai f he looked only to the commtote fae v, lie should..feel bound to give it, but, that the Conurtof Appeals of Kenucky in the hIading cabe tfpon the subject of nui sande, had. drawn a distinction. betwveen at physical and n moral ttuisadde, thae- they hneVdieid that ap hnicn nuisance might generally be shaded. but that the question aU a moral nuisance was left somewhat in doubt. The defendants then offered the follow ing instruction in the language of the deci sion referred to. * That il the jury believe that the True American press a public nuisance, and could not exist in its then present location and condition, without a being a nuisance, the defendants were jusutfiable in abatng it."' Which the Court gave, and the cause went to the jury. The definition of a nuisance. as given by the best common law n riters, wis thn read to the jury in the folluwiug terms; "A common nuisance is an olfeuce agaist the P blic, either by doing it thing which tends to tie annoyance uf all the King's subject,, or by negleciung to do a thing which the coo-mun good requires." Alter full arguntent, the jury wihout hesitation ga% e a verdict o1 not guilly WHO ARE GENTLE.MEN. In our iutercourse with society, ne are ofen surprised to otice what despicable and contracted eentio enis are yet afloai in the world, in respect to the chiaracteris lie marks of a true gentlemen. There are ihousatidsnfiudividuals who aspire to the reputation of a gent leman, or ivho per hmps lancy themselves to be really such, yet whose highest amid most comprehensive uiutins of the chatacter are cdutined to mere external accoiplisritments. There are nai:y females, too, who seem not once to havo a distant idea of such a petson, unconnected with coxcombr) of d'iueanor and that polished, courtly extei iur n bich is so often assumed by heamiless, abandoned libertines. to hide tte foul rottenness of th.,ir characters, and the baseness of their designs. Vhy else do ne so frequetly see indi viduals of the other sex who claim ro possess it most spotless character. to be the conservators of fashion,and to give tone to society, receving into their par ties and caressing, uay. not hesitating to promenade in puilic, arm in arm, with depraved and profligate wretches. as their honored associates-Lebatuchees w-A-ho a ktiown to he dissolute, yes, odiously licen tious in their hahits-and this without a blush ! Why do ladies of quality, inst-end of scorning even the approach of such wretches, and repelling their presence as ai insult an i allront to their sex, even evince a prelerence for their society over men of exemplary characters-apparently delighting in their sttentiwis, it they hip pen to be talented, rich. and fashionatile, e% en they may have been guilty of the nieepest baseiessii t iber woteri ? Why. too, do the young of the gentle sex sooften manifest soch an eagerness toIraw around them the butterflies olours, beings of mere itnsel and foppery, to the exclusion oif the meritorious and deserving, who seek coin panions for life. and not the alittering playthings of an hour? Why is it that men may practice with impunity vices which, in the other sex. will not lie tolera. ted for a moment; or that abandoned lih ertines, addicted to the vilest species of profligacy, and, worse than all do not pre tend todisguise their evil habits. yet hold up their heads in society as gethlem-mn. while the female whip is even ospeced of the slightest deviation from the rules of chastity, is consigned to everlasting infa my and disgrace ? The undeniable fact is, tham ttejusi old maxim of Pope. that "worth miakes the iman," has sunk into oblivion; new stambairds of character have been set up; and mie fundamental qualh ties which enter into the inodern fashion aol idea of a gentleman, have less rela iion to innate ionesty and north, than to the leng th of ones purse, the textire of his cloth, anid the scrupiuinus exactness of his grimaces andm biows.

Of all reptiles that disgrace the name of man, and pollute the earth on which they crawl by the fetid slime 'aliminated from their corrupt natures, the wily insin uating .landerer is the inst deserving ol scorn and contenpt, Heis a ivretch who has not moral courage enough to strike openly the victim of his hate, or make a tangible charge affecting his good name but seeket h his object by the sly insinua. tion, the doubtful inuendo-the vague surmise-the meaning look and significant nod, which are none the less fatal because of their indefiniteness, and the security with which such means are resorted to, by' the assassin of reputation. In the very nature of the case, one accused after this sort, has it not in'his power to defend his character. He kuows there is an on favorable impression excited which is ru intous to bis peace, anid, perhaps, his in terests, yet he cainnot take hold.of the au thor of the evil. The delamer has said nothing, bui has insinuated more, than if he had used the whole vocabulary of libel Ious lenguage. He has concocted a sub lima ted poison from the efl'ervescence of all tmalignaiit passions, and has infected the atmospliere in which the object Qf his hate moves, with its fatal miasma, while the hand of mischiet is concealed from view. . And who may abido the trial? Who may pass unscathed from the dread contagion? No one. .. As illustra.tive of the modus operandi of the insinuating slanderer, we subjoin the following anecdote. It is to our purpose. Read, reflect, and understand. " A clown walked up leisurely to the stall of one of those small traders. wh o furnish canal tourists of limited means with * wittles and drink,-' and just as he was on the point of vending a large lot of saugages to a hungry looking traveller. which were to last him until he reached Butralo, a vagabbnd, looking suspiciously at the article, and addressing the seller, said, " Is them good sassengers ?" -.- Yes, they are good saussages, you ignorant ragIus.

It is a lamentable error, but prevalent opinion among many parents, and'others whose positions and character would give thetn influence, if not power, toi avert, in a measure the evil, that trechanics have no need for education, beyond the main rtdiments of the nosi common branches. We have often heard it alledged, that, if a mechanic could-read, write a legible hand, and cypher enough to keep'his accounts, he possessed all the education he needed. A case in point, showing the falsity or this ophiion, and also, t he value to a young man of a vigilant improvement of his leisure time, itt storing his mind wi'.h use ful iniormation, has been related to us. It is that of a young blacksmfzit', at Erie. Left an orphan when yot'.ug, without means of support, or for pro~euring an ed tication, excep: by his ourfn industry, he leartied early to rely utpnn himself; and as a matter of necessity t.a study economy in the use of time and -.neans.

By accient his attentiont was attracted, to wvhat had previously been .considered meroly colored earth.
