We have road the Speech of Mr. Lovpjny delivered before thp Grand Lodge, at the lat* Annual Communication, on the subject of Kdtt cation, with unalloyed pleasure. We quoti the following, as furnishing a specimen of thi style of the. Speaker: "I have often been asked the question, "wha will the poor of our order do, if educated, whei they heroine men?" What will they do, if un educated, when they heroine men? But tin uneducated never become men; the ignoran are always children?rhildren are they in rp spec! to'the works of God and the creations n mind. But what do the educated poor? The do all that is done. They heroine great law Vers, great architects, great painters, grea mechanics, great statemen, great pnets, grea philosophers, aye great in every thing. Pov erly tells her children, when educated, they an rich. She stands still before them in her rng? but her eye is full of energy and fire. He arm is still gaunt, but has the strength of Ti tan's to rpitd the barriers which impede ih< roiir.se of her sons to lame and power. She i no longer like an angel of death cold and shi vering as the North wind, bnt is rather a gooi spirit and teaches her children a thousam things. She points thpm to the wealth am treasure oft the world, and bids them read Ibrth the hand and take it. Poverty, when he children arc educated, shows tliem many things She learns them how to cut mountains ini< beautiful columns and to fashion the rude rork into magnificent temples, that they may tell thi grandeur of nations to distant limes. Mie ha shown tliern how to ppn up fire and water it ribs of steel, which spped the commerce n Slates over the globe, and how to take hold o lightning, and chain our thoughts to his cat Poverty teaches her educated children man; things. She points them back through pre existent time, and shows that the nr ighly met and demigods of old; that they wpre poor, ye nevertheless firmed savage hordes into civilize) and gigantic States, became the lord* of song of eloquence and philosophy, and thus wot their wny to immortality. She points them ti the great men of modern date?to Shakespear Napoleon, Milton and Washington, the fbu giants of thought and action, who have writtei their names in letters of fire upon the bJacl wing of time; and says that they were poor She shows them Washington, traversing forest and wading through swamps, a surveyor of lam in h>* early manhood. Hut she shows him ii a different picture, struggling with that monste and inrriMe thine. called a tyrant, wrenchini his hand from ihe throat of Liberty and placinj his broad, brave bosom between her and he tormentor; lilting op a State which had fallen wasted and bleeding, and placing her feet upoi a foundation so strong and deep that she h.i grown up the glory and wonder of the world But 1 ha^o not time to tell all the educate! poor have done and can do. They teach al our schools, till ull our colleges with professor* and our churches with the ministers of God They build our towns and villages, all our ves sels of commerce, and navies of war. Bu what does Wealth? Nothing, nothing at all 6he stands with her armslolded upon her hosom tricked out in her jewelry and golden petticoats and looks on to see Poverty work. But shi pours into the lap of Poverty her gold, surren ders her possessions, gives op her houses am her lands and her petticoats also. How due Poverty serve her uneducated children? Shi stands before them, stern and terrible?shi will give then) no aid, no comfort, no cheer She pushes them into every hole and ever ditch; she plucks their rags, and tells them tha the North wind is stormy and fierce, and cold and that no body cares. She talks to thein al day of want, of hunger, and haunts their pillov at night; she teils them ol grog shops, of run and of crime, and makes them believe the ver Devil is their liest Iriend. Thus talks Poverty in two ways. Thus talks Poverty with he double face and Janos mouths--and she tell you educate your children, and i will lift then up to fa me, und power, and distinction; hu leave them uneducated, and 1 will crush then and crowd them down to ruin." Alluding to the importance of such a Semi nary to the destitute children of the Musonii Order, Mr. Lovejoy says: "It may be said that the destitute of our ordei are educated. But how, I ask? Are they edit cuted as a Mason, who has the means, wishe: to educate and does educate his own children They are, perhaps, sent to school one year two months another year, three another, two again, and thus ends their instruction. N< child ever was or can he thus educated. I con aider education to lie that discipline of the nmr al and intellectual faculties which fits an indi vidual to discharge any duty which socieM imposes upon its members. Doubtless thii fraternity has some children growing up it perfect ignorance, without even a kuowledgt of the Bible. May the Father of mercies save and protect the poor ignorant children in the desert which stretches before I Has it conn to this? Shall it ho said that the Masons o North Carolina will suffer any child who hai claims upon them to grow up without a know ledge of the Bible? I he Bible? ?\ bat is tin Bible! I he voice of God, the philosophy o creation, the fountain ol all wisdom, the sourer of all good; the pivot on which swings thr needle of hope, that poirts the earth born hea veil ward; the wing of the imagination, whicl lilts it up with great thoughts like the pinions o a strong eagle; the mine from which art wrought the gems that twinkle on the brow o immortal Poesy; the. hold bright truth whicl the naked soul seizes and invests itself, as will the garment of an angel; a diamond cut ou from the Jjbrone of Clod, and placed upon th< front of .1 dark world, to light its waywart iteps to eternity." We wish every Mason, and the family o every Mason in the State could read fhi< Speech. It would enforce at once, as with t trumpet.tongue, the necessity for action on thii subject; while at the same lime it would brinj * home to I heir heart* by its commanding elo- i quence and its saving truths, the full worth df | itR enthusiastic but unobtrusive nuthor. * , THE CAMDEN JOURNAL,j Wednesday Morning, March 2R, 1840.

Two of the chimneys on rj ! the west side of the Camden Hotel, were blown rl J over, and fell in upon the roof?crushing it down ^ to the floor beneath?rendering the rooms on r that side in the third story untenantable.

Carpenters are s ; already at work, and all will he fittpd up by Court s | week, ready for the receplion of the usual numP her of guests. Trees and fences were prostraj* led, all over the Town and neighborhood, . and the plastering in many houses, was greatf ly injured, by the rain driven in by a violent wind.

The en rgctic off.1 cials were prompt in replacing them, and com. 3 munications were started again at the earliest ' moment. ,1 jr Mr. Clay's Letter. In view of a new Constitution about to be ? adopted, by the people nf Kentucky, Mr. Clay rl ' published a letter, ably written, in which he 1 j proposes a plan for the gradual and ultimate r extinction of slavery in that State. His sys1 i tern of emancipation consists of three princir pies?1st. that it should be slow in its operait | tions, cautions and gradual, so as to occasion 1 no convulsions, nor any rash or 6uddcn distur8 bonce, in the existing habits of society?2nd. j that as an indipansuble condition, the emanciI patcd slaves should be removed from the State to some colony?and 3rd. that the expenses of their transportation to such colony, including j an outfit for six months after arrival at it, should . be defrayed by a fund to be raised from the i, labor of each freed slave. 't It should be a source ofdeeo, poignant regret that the "great embodiment" has thought prop, j er to come out in such a letter, at sueli a time. 8 i He proposes that all ^slaves horn afipr 1853 or s 1800 should be free, at the age of 23 years, 5 j and then to be hired out (or 3 years to raise a fund to defray their expenses to the colonies on j the western coast of Africa; those born from |f i them to he free at their hirtb, subjected howevI or to a system ol apprenticeship until they atv tained the ape or21. 1 The scheme though lucidly explained, strikes ^ us as impracticable, and ruinous in its cr.tise. r quences to the people of that State. Not to s notice the immense sacrifices required of those, 1 who hold property in slaves, to become sudden^ ly impoverished, to full from their height of wealth, and abundant comforts, at once, to a point of utter weakness and destitution?as : many, especially orphans, own no other proper ty,?it would turn loose a host of that indolent P shiftless, starving, thieving class of negroes, not 5 altogether free, nor exactly in a state of bon? dage, but like the "blank leaves betwern the i Old and New Testaments, belonging to neilh. ' er dispensation,''oftentimes without homes or guardians, strolling nbout, fit tools of crime, . willing agents in villainy, and unhappy in* struments, to annoy and harass tho whites.? r Not to speak of the ultimate effects upon Ken tacky, as each State "has absolute, supreme,, and , exclusive voirer over the subject tcilhin its limits? ! exclusive of thai of Congress, or that of any of ' the Stales," we may Ijo |>ormittfd lo suggest, j. without interfering with I lie right* of State Sov. ? ereignty, that there are others deeply interest ted in such a move at this particular crisis. II * our Missionaries in Liberia report correctly, I that the emancipated slaves sent there, entreat 5 them in pitiful tones, to reduce them lo their former state of bondage, and save them from , the freedom of starvation, the philanthropick f emancipator, (if indeed philanthropy be in the ' ! movement) would seek for them more comfort- ' ' able homes elsewhere. In addition to this 1 ) should the plan ever be attempted, of course i every slaveholder in Kentucky would labour ; to dispose ofbis slaves before the time of [cman- i ^ cipalion arrived. The other slaveholding | %States consequently would be overrun by gangs I ^ of negro traders, selling them off at any price? j t glutting the mnrket pvery where?diminishing , their value and producing a general deprecia- i | tion ol property over the entire South;?who I " - C would be compellod to adopt the late suggesion of the Naw Orleans papers, and wbicb will probablj pass unto a law rery soon in the States of Louisiana and Mississippi?that m> legro can he sold within their limits from mother State. ? - ' . Other States must be expected to take care if themselves, and such laws would lie enact?d in sefdefence; and it is difficult to foretell all he evils, that would grow out all efforts of he citizens ol one State forced to get clear for iheir slaves, nnd citizens of the neighbouring Commonwealths prohibiting their introduction. A desire on the one part to be savpd harmless front pecuniary loss, nnd the inducement to buy at a greatly reduced price, on the other, would certainly brinir about evasions of law, and possi bly conflict of States. We rppeat it is to be regreted deeply?soriotisly that Mr. Clay has deemed it proper to write such a letter, at such a time. The South had a right to expect other things from him. When her rights are invaded, her insti;utions assaulted?when tho compromises incorporated in the Constitution for her protection and security, have been wickedly trampled upon, and disregarded, she had a right to pxpect het leading men, to stand up vigorously in her defence. To them the people look for light? mil/tnn/in t* r>n TQTa and tvhon nnp nf TTfS Q l,,U,4l,V'r 1 Ail n VUAOIO) UMU W..W ?. influence, instead of pointing out a mode of redress, producing union and concert of action, is found taking such a course, it is certainly full of mischief and highly calculated to give them a feeling of dksektion,?to distract their views ?weaken their strength?lessen their attachment to their institutions and impair their confidence in their cause. What clapping of hands and shouting for joy, will he heard among the ranting fanatics at the North, when they read this letter! From it they will auger success, and cheered on by the influence of his great name will redouble their assaults. It will add strength to their cause, and fury to their blows. False notions and unfounded representations will now he wafted upon the wings of a pseudo-philanthropy, ever on the alert, from Maine to Oregon, and the whole pack of yelping demagogues will start afresh upon the track of their game. Distraction at the South, division of strength, and confusion in her councils will now be currently beli-ved at the North, and piteous moans and a genprous outpouring of sympathy ?*'i o? k_L-ir..r.u? .s IT? win iitjw anew in u una 11 ui me oia^o ui tuck jr. It affords some consdation to know, that it will reqniro something more than this letter, to induce the people of that prosperous Slate to emancipate, and to turn h?o!c a horde of miserable wretches to starve or pilfer a living. Their Legislature, which adjourned nfier its publication, resolved almost unanimously, never to en tertain any resolution, touching emancipation The denunciations of the Louisville and Lexington Journals, hitherto regarded the organs of Mr. Clay clearly prove that the proposition meets with little favor, nmong the people. It looks like "confrrmation strong, as proofs or Holt writ," of Mr. Webster's celebrated speech ai Marshfield, during the Presidential campaign, wherein he claimed opposition to the extension of slavery, to lie a cardinal feature of Whiggery. How unlike arc the position of Mr Clay, and our own grcal Statesman ; the oxb quoted at the North, and shaken !>y the hand as a friend to their cause, the other fearlessly fighting for justice, far out in the van,?powerfully resisting every invasion of our rights? and taxing his gigantic powers to the utmost to keep off the assailants. Holding up, in the one hand, the chart of eaualitu?~the Const it u ? - - ? -J a ^ /ion?with ihe other, he points eloquently and truthfidiy to slavery, as the developing agent of Southern greatness and power. If theie ever was a lime, when the Sou'h needed, the concentrated energies of every mind, the influence of every name within her borders, it is now; and this letter, while it will eflect not one par. tide of good, may be productive of immense harm. It falls upon the Southern car like an unpleasant sound, and knocks at our own door like an unwelcome visitor. Since it meets with so little favor, among the people ef Kentucky and elsewhere, we trust the press will see to it, that public sentiment at the South, bo not misunderstood at the North, and that Mr. Clay does not go iuto the Senate of the U. Slates, as a true exponent of Southern views upon the quostiun of slavery. The Storm noticed in our last, appears to have committed extensive ravages upon other sections of the country. The Montgomery (Ala.) Journal states, that on the same day, a tornado of great violence passed six miles South of that city, doing much damage to houses, fences, &c. At Col. Tay. lor's, in tlio prairies, besides other damage, two valuable houses were destroyed. At Mount Meigs the Academy was completely prostrated, and several of the pupils badlv - - o ' / .!?_ /I ? f injured?one ol them taiaiiy. i>oi. oaner a deer park had its enclosures blown down, and Jeer to I ho number of several hundred scattered at large. Ureal damage was also done to the telegraph, posts, trees, (fee. The Marion (S. C.) Star says that the storm wns severe, accompanied with much wind and hnil. Trees nnd fences wore prostrated in every direction, and considerable damage done to the gardens. The storm lusted but a short period, but the hail lay on the ground, on the opposite side of the Pee Deo River, until the uext morning. ' The work goes Bravely on." We are gratified to see that the suggestion made by the meeting recently held in (bis place?that we break off all intercourse with '.he North in trade and Commerce,?meets with general approbation. None strenouiily oppose ?m'any heartily approve, and those who are inclined to consider it impracticable, have failed to suggest a latter. We belieTelhat Mr/Calhoaoand M*;Wo?d war J are W^ing to left- iw'efScr^know that the latter stands ready "to co operati in this, and every oilier1 measure bf forbearaket towards the Union." While he may regard it the proper course of the South, to take higlr r groutr and go much farther, he still is prepared W unite with his Fellow Citizens in trying the experiment.
