It XCTLT TO A QUESTION ASKED ETA LAST.
What do I lore? I lov to see
Thy spirklinj ore beam brilliantly i
I lore to hear thy w itching soar
Ut fragrant breeios borne along ;
I love when all Is still around.
To heir Its echo's soil resound : r
More sweet to me. thy melting lay
Thaniephyr's sigh on Summer! day.
What do I love ? I love to see
Thy fairy form move merrily
In the gay roan 1 or social Joy :
Thnu art so blithsome yet so coy !
I love to see thy placid smile-
So calm and s eet to free from guile 1
Ills to me mare purely bright.
Than ta pale moon's benignant light.
Vhflt do I lave Pd love to see
Thy lip devout pray fervently
At matin hour 'tis sweet to hear.
The female voice ascend in prejer.
1 love to see from spirit meek.
A tear-drop glisten on the cheek;
A gem more precious far to me
Than all the ireasurrt of the soa.

We copy tho following from t'Tcxu Monu-
meat. It will.iio doult.be perused with more
thsn orduiary interest as a document properly bc-
longing to the history of our revolution) struggle
in the j ears '35 snd "36 ; and as strongly marking
the patriotic and determined spirit that pervaded
tho bosoms ofa large majority of the people of Tex-
as at that day:
We publish below the nddrfsof the Committee
of Safety of the Municipality of L bertj to their
fellow-cmieus. This address v as made public on
the 24th of October 1SJ5. The manuscript
from which we copy it has teen furnished us by a
" friend. It is believed to be the original manuscript
and ia said to bt in the handa riting of Judge Bur
net. There is no docbt that there was a strong
party opposedto the war and this oddnss was
made specially to them. The manuscript should
be carefully preserved ernwui mc mumw o.

are permitted to say that it will be cheerfuly turn-
ed over to any one authorized to receive it by ap-
plication at this office.
i "The Committee ot Safety for the Municpah-
i tj of Liberty in the exercise of tho powers dele-
' - gited to them feel it their dut to address their
fellow-citueus of the Municipality on the present
interesting posture of our political affairs.
& The Committee are sensible that many worthy
and patriotic citizens have been opposed on princi-
ples which they esteemed round and correct to a
rupture with the authorities of .Mexico. The Com-
mittee know how to appreciate such opposition
and the motives from which it proceeds; but they
would earnestly solicit such as r till adhere to an
oppositiou which may have been inuoccnt and
even praiseworthy hi its origin to reconsider the
n.ii. and Inouire whether the present situatioj
of the country d.ies not essentially cliango the
pound on wh'ch th'ir oppositrou was predicated.
The Committee are free to declare that they too
were advocates for peace while peace was practi-
cable on terms compatiblo v."fh the welfare the
honor and the future safely of Texas and the
constitution which we have sworn to support and
obey. But the hope of such apeace has departed
without leaviug a single ray of light to direct the
most credulous in the future indulgence of it We
therefore call upon all such to abandon an oppo-
sition founded upon principles which however com-
mendable have imw no application to the circum-
stances. The Federal Constitution and the Con-
stitution ofourState and of oursisterStates.Tiave
been Tiolntlydetroyed and the actual powers of
the Government are usurped by the military who
are exerchfng them with the wouted cruelty and
the recklessness of the rights of citizen" that has
always characterized the despotism of the sword.
Of those of oar fellow -citizens who reg-ird the
sanctity of their oath of allegiance and allege it as
a reason for opposing their countrymen now in
arms we would inquire 3 hat is the obligation
of that oath? It is certaiuly to support the Fed-
eral and estate Constitutions Hut where are
lhe6eCojsiituiions7 They have been torn and
rent to atoms and their scattered fragments are
to be traced in lines of blood beneath the tramp-
ling of tho usurper's cavalry on the plains of
Zacitecas. Texas is but pursuing the noble
though unsuccessful example of that high-minded
btate. She has resolved to sustain a legitimate
government or pensh in the effort to oppose the
tide of military and cccleiatical usurpation and
roll it hack upon the unholy league ;and she IookB
with confidence ftr the aid of her adjacent sister
Males who have already experienced the bitter-
ness of military misrule. For th s purpose the
sword is already draw n; our fellow-citizens aro in
the field; the banner of liberty is unfur'cd and the
high example of lawful resistance is exhibited in
the gleam of our rifles and the thnnder of our can-
non before the wallsof San Antonio
The Committee would therefore affectionately
appeal to their fellow-citizens who arc still boldiug
back from the good work in the language of the
holy prophet: " Why halt ye between two opin-
ions t" If the Constitution be the object of your
allegiance then riso up like men and support the
Constitution. If Santa Anna and his myrmidons
be the government you deire then avow your-
selves the degraded minions of a degraded and
barbarous despotism. The contest is for liberty or
slavery for life or death. 1 1 admits of no neutrals :
those who are not for us are against us. Those
nhu refuse to save the country cannot hope to
participate in the benefits of its salvation. Union
is all important. Our numbers are few ; but they
are a band of heroes: and ihfj fear not the issue.
The cordial concurrence of every citizen is desira-
ble ; but the few that still maintain their opposition
are not dreaded ; their number is small ; their in-
fluence insignificant Bat Texas expects every
man to do Ins duty. The door of conciliation is
open and all are invited to enter. They will be
received with cordiality: the past forgotten: the
futnre only regarded. But the times are critical;
the emeigency is pressing and calls for energy
and decision. Texas is at war and every citizen
who shall be found in practices inimical to her
high interests will be dealt with according to the
utmost rigors of the military laws
The Committee urges these things not in a
spirit of dictation but of friendly admonition ; Dot
to alarm but to convince; and to allure every
misguided citizen into the path of duty of interest
and of honor.
The aged end the infrm who cannot lake the
field can contribute of their substance; the
young the robust and the gallant arc invited to
repair to thecamp to unite with their bruhren in
arms and exhibit themselves the worthy descend
ants of the heroes of tb.
Horses arms ammunition are wanted ; sturdy
haods and brave hands are wanted to repel the
storm ordcso'ation that lowers over our beautiful
country. Let no man hold back too lone; there is
danger in delay; there is mischief in disunion;
there is safely happiness and speedy peace in a
unitedprompt and decisive exertion of our strength.
The Committee would repeat the motto of the
v gallant hero of Trafalgar: Texas expects every
man to do his duty'

During the whole active period of his life he has
risen very eaily and does so still oftener up before

more work before the major'ty of lawyers and
statesmen have breakfasted" than mest of the bet-
ter sort of them do in the wlmle day. In the sum-
mer season when he is at Marshfield or at Frauklin
he is generally out among his fine cattle for his
pleasure and health by four o'clock m the morn-
ing; and in the course of the forenoon he often
walksmore miles with his gun on his shoulder or
catches more fish thvi most y oung sportsmen can
in twice the time. His spirits ore generally fresh
and for his years gay except when anxious about
the business of the country ; his extemal senses are
unimpaired; ho is as qjick of hearing as he ever
was much marc so than some men like to have
him; and he can read tho finest print without
spectacles as be could at twenty. In short his
physical powers are preserved to a degree most ex-
ttaordinary considering hts age; and as to his in-

As Henry Clay's Lust is to surmount the Cotn-
promiao Time piece to be erected in Canal
street under the auspices of the Collector of
the Port and as his example is held up as a
sufficient justification for Southern gentlemen
to support the Compromise we deem it not an
unfavorable time for the publication of the fol-
lowing letter of Mr. Clay to the Freesoil Con-
vention at Cleveland Ohio in 1849. It is
worthy of perusal and preservation:
Ashlasd June 16 1849.
Gentleman: I received your oflkial leltrr in
behalf of the freeman of the Reserve inviting
me to unite with them at Cleveland in cele-
brating the anniversary of the passage ot the
ordinance of 1787on the 13th July next. 1
concur entirely in opinion as to the wisdom of
the great measure and I am glad that tt ha se-
cured to the States on which it operates an ex-
emptionfrom the ei Us of slavery. Guttheeient
of the passage of the ordinance has net er w ith-
in my knowledge been celebrated in any one
of the sixty-one j ears n hich hat e since inter-
vened. It is proposed for the first time to com-
memcrateit It is impossible to disjuise the
comiction that this pntpose orrginales out of
the question now unfortunately agitating the
whole Union of the introduction of sU cry into
ew Mexico and California. Whilst no ore
can be more opposed than I am to the extension
ofslatery into those new territories either by the
authority of Congress or by individual enterprise
i should be unwilling to do anything to increrse
the prevailinz excitement. I hope that the
question will be met inaspiritof calmness and
strength and stability instead of adding any
danger to the existence of the Union. In all
our differences of opinion we should neter
cease to remember that we are fellow-citizens
of one common and glorious country nor td
exercise natural and friendly forbearance.
But gentlemen waiving all other consider-
ations indispensable engagements n ill prevent
my attendance on the occasion to which you
have done me the honer to invite me.
With e-eat respect I am our friend and obe-
dientaea nit - H. fLA Y.

from Englind inform us that a new mode of
brick-making i threatening to entirely super-
sede the older methods. Prices are now made
hollow wliiili secures the buildings from damp-
ness and besides being much larger and light-
er both money and labor are sat ed in laying
them. It is only necessary for our industrious
and intelligent country-men to get an idea of
any micoine c-ilcnlated to sate labor and mon-
ey to nt once be prepared to adopt it.
While on this subject we must not omit to
mention tint a certain Dr. Samuels of Allen-
town Pa has invented amnchine to work b
steam whuh will turn off 1200 well mide
bricks per hour from unwrotight clay. This
matter is certainly well worth looking into
when the present rage fur improvement Ins
flised bricks to .in unprecedented price. If this
little notice slnll prove the means of calling
the attention of any of our b'ick-makcrs to
these new inventions we shall be gnlilied.

to da them injustice or debar them from a partici-

Judge Watrots was influenced we think in
laying off the District by a desire to accommo-
date the wishes and convenience of those having
business in the Court.

TO XI5E I'EOI'JLE Of TEXAS.
Two) earn imo past since I had the honor by a call
from my fellow-cltlrena to prc-entabr.tr exposition ol
the views and principles i hich ere to goFe: u me In the
erent or mj being placid by their partiality In ihe Exe-
cutiro chair. Ihu choice having fallen on meby the re-
sult orthe August election In lai it btcamo Decenary
that I should rurnUtt to the people of the State througu
her Legislature in) opinions upon tho various subjects ol
State policy and to ncummoud such as in xa judgment
were best calculated to meet the nanlaoftliocouutr) and
promote the general good. In the performance of this du-
ty I cave always endeavored to call to inlndthe solemn
obligation of my constitutional o&th a grateful remem-
brance of the distinguished favors of the people of Texas
and nt no time hate I forgotten herrmstglurkiiuidher
future hopes. My public acts and tho measures 1 have
advocated each and lingular arc heron the cou iiry ; and
alllaalc is a clone and rigid invtbt gallon cnium ma
snlniand candor or lmparUalltv. I am ajlisLeJ iLhI no
exc tement or bias arising out of the peculiar nature of
some oi me queauons nnicn nave engaged the public
mind and acted on the public council within tLe last
eighteen months will prevent on impartial judgment on
the conduct of the pubiicservantswhohatetieen engaged
during that period. Confiding In the Justice and kind-
ness of my tello A-citiztns 1 shall av ait their aw ords v ith
O near.
' I am again a candidate fur the dkllnguiJied office Ith
which you haie heretofore honored me; and in taking
this jK)aitlon 1 hat e been controlled by a dcaire to serve
tho btate ; to respond to the solicitations of many personal
and political frauds n hose opinions I did not tell mj-
self ultogeiht-r at liberty to direard; and aiW having
passed through the ordeal tf the opiuitn of an intelligent
public I am w tiling to submit mj act" that ttny maj re-
ceive the sealed im Drees of the people's approbation; and
if a majority cannot accord this to me I u .11 cheerfully be
remanded back to the lcsprotnim ut but congenial duile9
or private 1 fu ; without honcier anj diminution of gra-
titude fur past kindness and possot-ing the same zealfor
the prosperity o( Texas.
1 re-iueei leiljw-eiuzens you w ill remember when ad-
t ertiug to uiiy claim which I may have upon J ou for vour
ul7n)ges that at tlie time of my entering on my ottlcinl
duties the couru of political evinUMa irregular end
disturbed and c er tiling unfavorable to the adjustment
of questions of e en ordinary public Interest. At Ilia!
period it required the unceasing care and vieilance of the
best statesment to bring about u peaceful solution of the
various troubles that aifltcted tho General Government
and it was eay to foresee that the eviU and iucont enien-
cca resulting Irom an irritated and unhappy condition of
affairs at Washington would bear heatily against if it did
not entirety defeat the adjustment of any question arising
betw ecn r edcraland State Governments.
Ibis condition of things awakened a lively sympathy
here and was greatlj rgretted. Underordinary clrcum-
stain es any question p nding between Ihe btate and Fed-
eral covernincnt to which the litter stood adversely
would cheerfully have been postponed until that Govern-
ment lesimed her natural and proper channel But
there wi a a high duty to perform to the State and delay
In Its execution would Inevitably hate resulted In the de-
feat ofa measure oftho mobMital interest. That duty
jou had deohed on me. Ifl had shrunk from its pcr-
formame or failed to accomplish it in a manner equal lo
Itsgreat importance I would then Indeed hiti deserred
3 our keeuert reprobation. The question of boundary at
any timo adelicuto nnd exciting one was at tho period
and undr the circumstances of its discussion calculated
to till the public mind with apprehension for lis pacific
termination. 1 knew and felt the interest and peri) invol-
ved In this question and the Iron necessities of my posi-
tion. In briinritic it to a speed r and decided issue. 1 wa
guided by no other impulses than imch as sprang litritl-
matelyfroma fair and honest interpretation of the I iw
and a fulimn existing compact betw ecn the tw o sovereign
powers. 1 have done no more in guardmg with zealous
attention the trust which tl e people or Texas had conQ-
doJ to me than to maintain a declaration thoj had often
mide to-wit: to preserve inviolate the integrity of their
Mote. The mode adopted and tho manner in which it
was conducted were irotrrenptctful and kind and with
a confessed apj rcciation of the relation in w hich we stood
to the Government of the Union. I assumed no position
which lias not been fullr sustained by resul j emploj ed
no languigo that even implied a throat and with a deter-
mination lo 05k nothing 4hat wan not clearly right and
to submit to nothing that w as w rongV the foue was made
and determined ih highest object wns attained when
thoqutAtion referred to was brought back (where 1 al-
ways intended it should come if any orency of mine
could prevail.) to the people of Tcsa for Unnl determim-
tion. Actingn thcirnouroign capacity they haicren-
dertd their decision and 1 trust in tod that the happiest
reruns may now irom it. l have aituuea to tun subject
becautj I; Las more than any other agitated the public
mind.
It Is a subject fur congratulation that onr State is on the
much to w oalth and greatness A wiso appl cation of the
means no at her command w ith her unsurpas-cd natur-
al resources will in a few years place her in advance of
maiiot:ineoiiiersiaitsoti:ie union iiie puonc roinu
tf tilled with ruxlctvrelalno tothebestmodeof dipoing
of the ten millions of dollars acquired by the rtlinqublf
ment ofa portion of her N orth-tt estern 1 erritory ; and as
a candidate before ytu I am not dipou-d to w ithhold or
disguise my opinion upon this impurtint subject. Ihe
Auditor or the board coutituu d by an act to pro ido for as-
certaining thedebt of the late Republic approved March
20th laAS has been laboriously eng&ged bince the parage
on ho law iu acertain'n? the amount and chirucler of the
liabilities assigning to each an average i alue equitable
as they conceh ed both to the Go crnment and t ho holder.
A very large mijority of the creditor with a full know-
ledge of the principles adoptod by this Board In parsing
upon tho various description of claims presented their
original evidences of IndebtednCF-s and received In lieu
certificates for par value. The action of tho Board ha
been from time to time submitted for Legiskthe induc-
tion ; where the principles adopted in reducing the d'Ulr-
eit classes of liabilities If not considered equitablo ard
Just were to bo modified or changed Ths succeeding
LcguLiture has given its sanetion to the mode p irsued in
the ascertainment of the government indebte-dnc" and ae
the Fxecutlve of tho btate I hai e herctoforu given itjny
concurrence; and I can now percohono reusou wbyiho
rule hitherto adopted for ascertaining tho uctuaHalueof
the debt at tho timo It was created and of allowing Inter-
est thereon should not bo observed My views upon
the subject were communicated to the Legislature at Its
"Cssinn of 1619 and 'jO a- follow s:
'l concur with ray predecessor in th" Importanceoftre
subject connected with the adjustment of the public
debt. Although w o mav not hope to mLct w ith an entire
unanimity nf sentiment as to the in ie which will com-
mend itself by Its equity and liberal cj irit. not only to our
onciii?en5 bJtto the w orld at large still it Is belie red
that ono can bo agretvd upon that will gi.e general satis-
faction. Tho plan pnser bed by tho act of March the
ioth 1843 for the ascertainment of the amount and the
classification of our liabilities i probably the best that
could be dcised; and the mode of scjling thoso liabili-
ties to their actual value at the period at w hich they were
Incurred cannot in my Judgment bit obnoxious to tho
slightest imputation of tnfojrness of injustice. 1 or a
State just emerging from the varied troubles and difficul-
ties ot a protracted reolutionary struggleand involved
in an immense amount of pecuniary obligation to asume
In good faith tho payment ofeviry dollar the value of
which she received or that was expended for her benefit
is placing herself In a moral attitude upon which her citi-
zens ma) look with prido and pleasure. The Idea which
seems to be entertained by pome and those too ol en-
larged minds and large experience in matters of political
economy that our debt should be paid according to the
figures presented on its face without any regard to tho a-
lue of those figures at tho timo It wai created his its ori-
gin I humbly conceive If not in Individual gamat least in
a desire formers! fame which leap- oer the boundaries
prescribed by the ethics of this utilitarian age. I have
said pnano'heroccasion that tho Stato is bound to pay
every dollar which shoJusMy owes; but neither good
faith nr the moat fastidious conception of morality re-
quiresbertodo more. With this declaration of my opi-
nion on the subject before them the people of Texas have
honored me w ith their confidence by placing mo in the
position I now occupy ; and I regard it as a concurrence
on their part in that opinion.
The only question then is the ascertainment of the
amount which theStatedoesjiury owe; endthi" I pro
sume will be salitfactorally arrhed at by thorn odo which
has been pursued. In carrying It Into practical operation
however I would earnestly recommend that the most li-
beral principles be invoked so that there shall be no pre-
text for charging that the btate has not done full justice
to her creditors as tar as her means would permit."
I would adhere to tho principle contended for but with
this modification: that in each doss of claims where in-
stances of hardship are found to oxit they should be re-
Eortrd to tho Lcgteltture in order that such relief should
e awarded rb micht upon investigation seem Just and
firopcr. In the assignment of an aiengo equivalent vh-
ue to some of the characters of government seeuntie
there was much difficulty In preventing cases of individu-
al hardship and some do no doubt exist; but as a sys-
tem of adjustment I believe it Is sound In equity and in
morals. A majontv of the creditors have mndo a volun-
tary sui roider of the original evidences and have thereby
accepted the only accommodation that Texas can offer.
To thQ"o w ho aro reluctant we may Justly say gentlemen
wo have done the bol we can do for you.
It Is now satisfactorily ascertained that tho public debt
will not exceed seven millions of dollars assuming the
Edjuslmcnt as made by tho Auditor and i omptroller to
be equitable and thd settled policy of the Government.
I would promptly discharge the debt at its adjudicated
wo ion woiua navB.o uiHfiiB. niter paying ine en-

Slace it in market) will command a premium of from

wh'ch would conf. r all the practical advantages to the ri-

In relation lo the reserved flvo millions it Is to bo reiwt-
ted that thcro does not exist tn the act of Congress some-
thing moro specific in defining the amount of debt for
which the five millions have been retained. Tho Federaliii
Government surely does not Intend to assume the rhrht of

it cannot be done by any other power. If the Secretary of

thorced to pay over to the State any portion of the retain-
ed fl.e cidhons until releases are tiled by all tho creditors
holding liabilities or Texas for which Impost revenues
were specially pledged ills to bo hoped that Congress at
its next session will so modify the law that the btate can
be put In possession of the bonds as fast us the releases
are signed.. By this means the stock retained In tho I ede-

political parties now existing In the Union I will say that
while the general politics of the country have very little
connection w ith or bearing upon the due administration
of the rotate Government the chief duty of the Stato Ex-
ecutive being that of seeing the laws executed still I
avow very frankly to you that 1 am to be found in the de-

It would have afforded me pleasure to have mingled
