THE PRESIDENTS'S MESSAGE.
Among the body of the people-the
mighty masses, who, in comparison with
the small consideration.s and motives *of
office-seeking and office holding politi
cians may be termed non-political, but
who nevertheless are the truest and most
reflecting politicians of the republic-tlhe
next Message of our President is waited
for with a degree of fervent anxiety which
we have never before seen displayed. It
is the only full developemeyt of the Chief
Magistrate's views and policy that can he
made; and identifying him, as. the people
now do, with a grand ptr pie .pun
% hich the cause of republica.n b; er- must
either be advanced or returned for many
years, if not, indeed, for incalculable ages,
it is quite natural and reasonable that his
intended policy, as expressed in this most
influential document, should be subject of
all absorbing anticipation.
No man in the universe, possessess the
moral power of the Presidont of the Uni
ted States, as exerted through his nnnual
Message. It is published in every public
journal at home and abroad, and when
ever it is written in the exalted spirit or
freedom which becomes the only theore
tically free country upon the globe, it is a
moral lover which lifts the whole genera
tion of mankind towards the realization of
the greatest good of the greatest number
-that divine principle upon which the
entire economy of nature, from the whale
i-, the auittalcule, is beneficently organ
ized.
The sovereigns of the oli world, always
make very short and c.mmon-place ad
dresses to the people. The systems of
government which they represent wotuld
not endure-could not survive-frank and
extended discussion. The expression of
liberal sentiments by the heraditary moon
arch would lead to results that might cost
his descendants his throne, from the migh
ty momentum to freedom which it would
communincate. The ex pression of severely
arbitrary doctrines in the present age,
(for all mankind are advancing as the
earth gets upright upon its axis) would
be followed by anarchy and rebellion
the immense physical power which im-1
perious monarchs have collected for their I
protection would convulsively re-act to
their destruction; for man, though often
t.sseIf-de1fensive Jude L ada L that
the humble reptiles which cro-s our pain,
will nevertheless turn round upon his op.
pressors in frightful vengeance, when their
oppression is applied a ith sudden violence.
Insidiously, and through popular ignorance
and love of tranquility, however servile
and debasing. mankind, for mosny ages to
come, may Ito ruled and pillaged for the
agg.adisetment of the few; but by bold and
open conduct, never, for any great lenth of
time. ilence the monarebs of Europe
always make short speeches containing
nothing.
In this country, however, the case is
directly reversed. Ihere we have, funda
mentally and essantially. a system ofgov
ernment which will bear the most thorotgh
investigation. We are freer in theory
than in practice, other countries are freer
in practice than in theory. Here, every
thing depends upon our constant recur
rence to the first principles of our consti
tution; and our only danger is the neglect
of these for a temporising contenance-a
forbearing. pusillanimous indulgence-of
corrupt expedients. lere our presidents
ought to be as free as the ,vinds of heaven
in the expression of their views, for they
have always the Constitution ofthe whole
republic as their grand standard-as their
impregnable citadel. There is not the
slightest necessity for one of our presidents
to speak eqttivocally ttpon any subject of
public policy. It is heyond ihis legitimate
jtrisdiction to intetfere, either by advice
or otherwise, with the domesttc affairs of
thte intdiv'idaal States. lie is coneernied
only with the great whole. As the chief
magistrate of the whtole Union, he has
nothing to do with partY ; principle
constitutional principle-is his only wvar
rantable guide; and if a rigid adherence to
this should throw him, as it assuredly will,
into more decided affinity anti action with
one political party mnore than another, he
is still a non-party president; he acts upon
principles for paramount to party; he is
the chief magistrate of the minorit y as well
as of the majority, and in adhering to the
Constitution acknowledged by bothi he
ceases to be, officially, the partizan of
either.- United States Journal.

"The city of Lexington, ndjoining

and work less than a majority of thel day
laborers of the North. I have never seen
an esiablishment in any country, in all its
departments furnish so many proofs of
domestic comfort, permanent and useful
arrangement. united with such exceeding
good taste and unpretentind elegance.
Mr. Clay's farm contains about 800
acres; and in all my wanderings, included
even Nei' England, I have never seen the
same number of acres in a body, as hand
some, as productive; as well fenced, and as
well cultivated. His wood land is cleared
of all underbrushed and dead wood-his
fields are enclosed with good fences, with
the top rails all on, and not a weed or
briars in the corners-his hemp-fields, &c.
are prepared with the skill and care of a
thrifty farmer-and he has a ten acre lot
of corn. upon which he has bestowed extra
labor and attention, with the view of ob
taining premium.
Then there are his fine blooded, cattle,
sheep and horses, apportioned off into lots,
according to age and the use and purposes
for which they are designed. Indeed.
there is no spot in or about his residence
or fant t"at will nor furnish evidence of
his being a thrifty, profitable and practi.
eabie farmer. True it is that I had read
and heard mnch of Mer. Clay. as the
"Farmer of Ashland" but I regarded him
as what is termed 'a gentleman farmer"
-as one who had a farm, beut knew tittle
and cared less how it was cultivated. But

''he late Hugh S. Legare.- In alluding
to the hiograpiical sketch of this distiu
guished statesman in the last number of
the American Revien, the editor of the
Portland (Maine) Advertiser says :
We deem it scarcely less than a duty
to call attention to the biographical sketch
in the last number of the American Re
view of the late Mr. Legare. It is well
enough that he was once a member of
Congre.s, and that he attained tha dis
tinctirn n'' being Attorney General of the
United Statrch, as well ns that of a tempo
rary appointment to the office of Secreta
ry of State, but the specific traits of his
character. and the singular personal at
tainmentents which distinguished him,
whether in oflice, or as a private man,
from the great majority of those who
have held similar stations, are not general
ly known.
Others have been distinguished a latw
yet's-other public mete have had a repn
tationi as general scholars; butt Mr. Legare
h:ed enjoyed singube rly favorable opplortu -
nities for profossional anid literary acquisi
I ions, and apparenrly, we may say of him
there wVtat ohintg wvhich he might have
learnt, for the great ainms of his life,
whticht he inid niot learn. Very few exauti
pIes might Ihe cited. where so exceltett
opportuntities were so excellently improved
It does tnt appear that Mr. Legare ever
wanted any thing, in the way of means
and facilities for study, nor that he ever
failed to make the most of the means he
had. Of courso heel) he was one of the
most learned and accomplished taen of
his age, and if his place be soughet amtong
Atmericatn students, andi especially among
Amnericant lawyers, few nill lee fountd
wvorthty to stanid by his side, in atty comn

We speak, of coiurse, tunder the limitatiou
of his age, for he died lung before he had
developed the full vigor and capacity of
that period, which is called the meridian
of life.
His genius appears to have been un
commonly great. Ti wvas onie point

of riniciple. anid manly ambition. In the

TIhis was the gift of fortutne, and his mer
it was, that he did no~t throw his opportu

THE CONVERTION OF THE
JEWS.
A South Carolina correspondent com
municates the pleasing intelligence that
two Jews, and a Jewess, their mother,
have lately professed faith in Jesus of I
Nazareth as the promised Messiah, and
been added by baptism to the church in
Beaufort, under .the care of Rev Dr.
Fuller One of them is supposed to pos
sess talents for the ministry. The letter
addressed to the church by the lady, at
the time of her application. is subjoined.
Her experience is substan'ially that of
every christian-ruined by the apostacy,
restored by Emanuel. The most impor
tant practical thought that suggests itself
to our mind it this connecion is this
that, in so far as our observation extends,
christians have too little intercourse with
Jews, as Protestants stand ton much aloof I
from Catholics. Jews and Catholics have
the same common tature with r selves F
-are, in a word, men, fallen n,,.o-and
must be approached and trea:ed as sin
ners require to be approached and treated.
Opposition to the gospel may assume a
housand shapes, but it is the same in es
sence; and although the means of over
coning it are to be mdifed by circum
tatcei, they are also, in every case, sub
tantially the same. Te gospel we
preach is the same that Christ and Paul
preached; and the mind, heart and con
science of modern sinners, both of the
Jews and the Gentiles, are the same with
apostolic das.. A pure and spiritual

ed mighty in the subjugation of error

which it designs to change. H. K.
To the Pastor and Membersof the Baptist
Church at Beaufort :
In oflering myself to become a member
of the christian church, I take this meth
od to inform you of toy feelings. The t
sensations I have on this occasion prevent
me from comnv uicating the same verbal t
ly as I would greatly desire to do. Pass
ing over a lapse of years, the whole of I
my former life, which I feel to have been I
spent in the vanities of this earth, it pleas- i
ed God, by various means, to bring me to I
myself, at which time I saw myself a sin- I
ner in His blessed sight. The more I re- t
flected on my condition the more necessi- I
tv I felt for a Saviour, a mediator between
mse and my God; and, (blessed be His
nmej I saw at once. while searching tihe
Scriptures of God, that 1 could not he
saved by my own merits, as I had viola
ted God's holy law, in the very fact that i
had not submitted myself wholly to his
service. At this time I was induced to
examine into the claims-of the Christian's
Jesus, as the " Shiloh" " which was to
come ;" and, by tihe wonderful goodntessI
of God above, he was revealed to mec as
long expected Messiah. I sawv that those
general prophecies, w hicht were famniliar
to me conctriing' Hlim, were fulfilled in
"Jesus of Nazareth;" and though tny
heart revolted at thme lowly appearance of
this despired Nazatine. wiho was to he the
"King Messiah ben David," yet God
openeda my eyes, entightened nmy heart,
and could not but subotit to Him and say,
*'God be merciful to me a sinner." I
founid peace andl joy,. and hnppintess, itn
believinig on Him. My feelings towards
all cheistians were immediately changed.
Whereas L once.despised the name of
christian, I now fetasgreat love and de
sire to be with theni ; wvhereas I once
could not fine woerds sufliciently harsh to
express my contemipt for Jesus, now I
consider my salvation depending upon
this Saviouir, sond place all moy hopes of
happiness hereafter upon the merits of
the blood of His atonement. I wish to
obey all the Saviour's commands, andi
therefore desire to be baptized into the
christian's faith-begginig the prayers of
all God's people here, and praying God
to enable me to persevere and gaini the
home of my forefathers, Abrahaum, Isaac
and Jacob. . t' Amen and Amen."

most attrocious and cold blooded murder
was committed in this place (Crocket,
Houston Co. Texas.) on the evening of
Monday, 8th September. 1845' a little a1

Henry Nelson, the Cterk of our county

him ; and one of the best (if not thelvery
best) citizen of the county-a man ndeer

or of, any person whatsoever, yet while
in the very prime of life, he wats hurled
into an awful eternity, without a moments
varning; and without having given the
slightest provocation, or even the shadow
of offence; leaving behind in unuterable
distress, a wife still in her teens, and two
small children. The perpetrator of this
hellish deed was a man rinitied Robert T.

perhaps about three years ago. About a
year since, he and his family left this part

least either the justness or expediency of
the same. The views suggested by the
Washington U. S. Journal, while consid.,
ering the subject,.are truly republican;'
and ofsuch a nature that no independent
American can for a moment withhold his
endorsement. 'Editors who' are controlled
by motives of expediency-by ccsidera,

away in some dark corner,; nii their

liberties of bringing up editors 'like cattle
in the market.' itis establishing a. pri

free government, as destructive to the
genuine independence of a free press,' and -
the true liberty of a free people, . as the.
dangerous governmental interference of.
the tyrants of Europe with the press of
those king-riidden countries.' A press so
situated, so governed,' and so coi:trolled,
ceases to be the organ of the people; it
only expresses the will and wishes of those
in executive power. Its conductor con
forms his opinions and views precisely
with those of the higher power whic'
controls him ; he feels that he is' to have,
no mind of his own ; he has sold himself.
for a consideration to do the bidding ot
others, 'without compuntion or hesitation.
