At lltii present writing (9 A. M . ) the eity is filled with gallant whig. Their shouts and song go up from ilrong lungs and overflowing hearti. Banners and poles in ibu centre of the city stand iu trees in the furesl. They comhino every shade of eolor, and are emblaioned with an inderrih(ille variety of moitoa. The ladies wave (heir handkerchief! and shower their smiles from every window. Joy beams on every eountenance, and finds vent, as it wont, in ten thousand wayi, nil harmless and unobjoetioiiable.

Hartley, Corwin, Ewing, Slorcr, Bebn, Delano and Stnitbery are here, and from their lips we shall hear glad tidings lo day. The intel-ligenro Ihey bring fiom every quarter of the Blale is most encouraging. A glorious victory awaits Ihe Whig of Ohio, if Ihey are but true to themselves.

The deduction is, thai Mexico woM acknowledge the indeprndence of Texas, under Ihe mediation of Knghuid, if ln nmiesnlionisls would let her alone. Hut no tins would not answer the views ol Ihe hutd and scrip speculators; Ihey do not seek Ihe inde-pendence of Texas, but to make mnry out of her, even al the risk of Disunion of ihne Slates and War. Therefore, annotation musl be urged, which will prevent independence, ao that when annexation shall Inke phiec. a war will ensue with Mexico probaldy with Knglaud, widi Knuire, and sym-.ilhisiug Kurope. Tin is paying too great a price for slavery, to be accompanied wiih Diiunion, War, and robbery. Hut iheu this ia the open policy of ihe Texas party.

In addition to tho gratifying intelligence of tho election of tho Whig liovornor, we have to announce tli!it a majority of the Sernlora elected are Whigs nnd that the majority of Whig members elected to thn llousoof Representative is perfectly overwhelming.

Honor to our Whig brethren of Vermont An trreatlna l.eller from tTlr. l-'liir tcnrlfasl Iu hit friendship Tor American liiborl A great meeting was hold nt l.inca-sler, I'a., 011 the 6th inal. It is esliinmed thai twenty or thirty thousand peroim were present, and every thingivn lokou lli.il au uncuniuer-ablc spirit prevnils among tho Whig of the Keystone .State. Among the distinguished spankers was the Hon. Jolix M. Ci.avtos of Delaware. His speech has been reported and published, and from a hasty glance, wo have no hesitation in saying thai it is n m utterly eflort, deservedly ranking with ihe greatest productions of this distinguished Hiatesionii. In the eoursir of its delivery he introduced n Idler from Hfiiry Clay, lo which more esiecially, it is our design to call attention oo this occasion. That Inter wo give hulow. Il was called forth by a letter from Mr. CUyioit. Tiio friends of Mr. Iolk in IVmisylvania, in order to render less obnoxious their own candidate, with his anli-tarilT views, have gone so far as to question the sincerity of Mr. Clay's friendship for ihe I ro-lerlive principle. , His support of the Compromise Act, Ihey have construed into hostility to Protection. Mr. Clayton, by n moil masterly cxwsiiion, a few weeks siuco, utterly explo ded this charge and vindicated Mr. Chiy. Absurd nnd ir reconcilable with his whole life, as was the clnrgc, it has lieen re-iterated. In order not only to establish the correctness of his own declarations, but lo satisfy all by additional testimony from Mr. Clay himself, he wrote to him a friendly letter to which ihe following is n response. It was rend al Ihe Lancaster meeting, a mid-. I the cheers and congratulations of the thousands there assembled. Il will be found, as far a relate' to dm Omproiutsv Art, to coirvsjHJinl precisely with ib declaration of Mr. PiAk, innde four years since when he was canvassing the Slate of TeuiUMsee, ai an opponent of a Protective Tun If 1 hat lint Art was introduce I to n'c lite protective principle. It will be found In commit Mr. Clay a- gainst the repeal of the present Tariff, and in every reiect it makes the great issue between the two parlies, on the 1 ill, distinct nnd pulp-iblc.

He declared himself against Iheir scheme, bud proclaimed his devotion lo the Union, under all circumstance.

At Ihe public sato of the property, most of the credit rs were prtsent.

Th! Natural Bridr .r, one Niche Ih. Hlhr.l. ' Tho scene opens with a view of the great Natural Bridire in Virginia. There are three or four lads standing in the channel below, looking up with awn to tlmt vast arch of unhewn rocks, which the Almighty bridged over those everlasting abutments u when the morning stnrs sang tugether.n The little pii'ce of sky spanning those measureless pierB, is full of stars, although it is mid-day. It ia almost five hundred feet from whero they aland, np those nerucndieiilar bulwarks ol limestone, to the key rock of that vast arch, which nppeara to them only of the size of a man's hand. The ailence of death is rendered more impressive by the little stream that falls from rock lo rock down ihe channel. The aun ia darkened, and the hoys have unconsciously uncovered their heads as if standing in the presenco chamber of the Majesty of the whole earth. At last this feeling begins to wear away ; they begin to look a-round them ; they find that others have been thoro before them. They see the names of hundreds cut in the limestone hutments. A new feeling comes ovor their young hearts, and their knives are in Iheir hands in an instant. "What mannas none, man can do," is their watchword, while they draw themselves uo and carve their names a fool above those of a hundred full grown men who have been there ocinro them. They aro all satisfied with this feat of physical eiertinn, except one, whose example illustrates perfectly the forgotten truth, that there is no royal road lo intellectual eminencp. This ambitious youth sees a name just abovo his reach, a name that will be green in tne memory ot the world, wnen moso or Aiexaniier,i;it'sar,and Uonaparle aiiait rot in ouu- vion. It was the namo ot Washington, uctnre ne marched with llrmlilock to that fatal field, he bad been there, and left his name a toot above all hia predecessors. It was a glorious thought of llie boy, tn rito his nnme side by side with that of the great father of his countrv. He grnsus his knife with a tinner hand ; and, clinging to a little jutting crag, ho cuts again into the limestone, about a foot above where ho alanila; lie then readies up ano cuis another for his hands. Tut a dangerous adventure ; but as he puts his feet am1 hnnda into those gains, and drawa himself up carefully to his full length, ho mills iiunseit a loot atiove overy name cnroniciuu in that mighty wall. While his companions are regarding him with concern and admiration, lie cuts, his name in rude capitals, large and deep, into that flinty album. His knifo is still in Ins hsnd, end strength in his sinews, and ft new created aspira tion in his heart. Again he cuts another nicho, snd again ho carves his name in large capitals. This is not enough. lleeilless ot the entreaties ol Ins companions, nu cuts and climbs aguin. The graduations of his ss- ceniling scalo grow wider apart, lie tneasurea nis length at everv irnin he cuts. The voices of hia friends wax weaker and weaker, till their words are finally Inst on Ins ear. He now for tho fust time casts a look beneath him. Had that glance lastotl a moment, that moment would hare been his last. Ho clings with e convulsive shudder to his Jililo nirhe in tho rock. An awful sbyss awoits his almost certain fall. He is faint with severe exertion, nnd trembling from the sudden view of the dreadful destruction to which he ia exposed. His knife is worn hallway to the haft. He can hear the voices but nol the words, of his terror-stricken compsnions below. What a moment ! What a meagre chance to eacane destruction I There is no retracing his steps. It is impossible to put his handa into the same niche with his feet and retain his slender hold a moment. His companions instantly perceive this new and fearful dilemma, and await hia fall wiih e-mntiona that 'freeze their young blood.1 Ho ia too high, loo faint, to ask for his father anil mother, hia brothers and sisters, to come and witness or avert his destruction. Hut one of his companions antici pates his desire. Swift aa tlie wind he bounds down the channel, and Ihe situation of the fatal boy is told upon his father's hearth-stone. .Minutes of almost eternal length roll on, and thero are hundreds standing in that rocky channel, and hundreds on llie bridge Bbove, al) holding their breath, and awaiting tho learlnl cataatropne. llio poor boy hears the hum of new and numerous voi ces both above and below. He can juat distinguish the tones of his father, who is shouting with all the energy of despair, 'H'u7iim .' H iJIiam? Don't look liown ! Your mother and Henry imd lltvrritlt art all here praying for you! Ihn'l look down! Kttp your eyt tomtriU th't top P The boy didn't look doicn. His eyes is fixed like a flint towards Heaven, and his young heart on him who reigns there. Ho grasp, again his knife. Ho cuts another niche, and another foot is added tn the hundreds that rcinovo hint from the roach of human holp from below How carclully ho uses his wasting blsilc: llow anxiously he selects Iho softest places in that vast pier! llow he avoids every flinty grain! How ho economizes his physical powers resting a moment at each gain he cuts. How every motion is watched from below ! There atanda his father, mother, broth-or and aister, on the very spot where, if ho falls, ho ill not tall alone. The sun is now half-way down the west. The lad has made fifty additional inches in Ihat mighty wall, and now nnds hunsell directly under Ihe middle of that vast arch of recks, esrth and trees. Ho must cut his way in ft new direction lo get from un der this overhanging mountain. The inspiration of hope is dying in his bosom; its vital heat is fed liy the increasing shouts of hundreds perched upon cliffs and Ircos, and othors who stand with ropes in their nsniis on llie bridge aoove, or witn ladder! below, fifty gains moro must cut before the longest rope can reach him. Hia wasting blade strikes a-gain into the limestone. The boy is emerging painfully, font by fiMrt, from under thai lolly arch, tipliceil ropes are ready in the handa of Ihose who are leaning over the outer edge of llie bridge. Two min- uicb more, and all will be ovor. That blade is worn lo Iho last half inch. Tho boy's head reels ; his ayes are starling from their sockets. His last hope is dying in Ins heart; his lifo must hang upon the next gain he cuU. That niche ia his last. At tho last faint gash he makes, his knife, his faithful knife. falls from his norvelcss hand, and ringing along tho precipice, talis at ins mottier a leet. An involuntary groan of despair runs like a death-knell through Iho channel bolow, and all ia still as Ihe grave. At the height of nearly three hundred feet, the devoted boy lifts his hopolcsa heart, and closing eyes to comniend his soul to Uod. 'Tut but ft moment there !--one fool swings off! lie is reeling trembling toppling over into eternity 1 Hark 1 a shout falls on his oar from above ! The man who ia lying with half lua length over Iho bridge, has caught ft glimpse of the boy's head and shoulders. Quick bs thought Iho noosi'u rope is wiinin racn oi 1110 sinking youth. Ne one breathe. With a faint, cnnvtilavc effort the swooning bny drops his arma into the noose. Dark ness comes over nun, and with the words, (iod ! and mother! whispered on his lips just loud enough to be hoard in heaven tho tightening rte lifts him out of his )at shallow nirhe. Not a lip moves while he ia dangling over the fourful abyss; but when ft sturdy Virginian reachea down and drawa up the lad, and holds him up in his arms before tho tearful, breathless multitude, such shouting, such leaning and weeping for joy, never greeted Iho ear of human being so recovered from the yawning gulf of eternity. b.
