At the conclusion of the speech the Clubad-

DUELS CLAY AND JACKSON. Amos Kendall has written a most malignant unfair pamphlet, assailing Mr. Clay as a duellist. Now Mr. Clay has been twice involved iu duels, much to our regret and we are sure to his also, but in each case he was the grossly insulted and injured party, as his opponent lived to see and acknowledge, and he manifested no vindictiveness nor revengeful feeling He merely conformed to a most absurd and wicked custom of the community in which he lived -a custom w hich he did not make, and ought to have disregarded. We are sure it is a source of profound gratitude that uo other evil than the sanction given to an abominable practice resulted from these meetings, and that no stain of blood rests on his hands. He has declared in an address to his neighbors that no
man can aonor dueling more than he does, though a deep sense of wrong suffered, the momentary mastery of his indignation, impelled him to seek the redress falsely styled 'honorable. But this viper Kendall, who has written the tract to blacken Mr. Clay for challenging and meeting two men who had grossly insulted and defamed him, has written a life of Gen. Jackson, in which lie narrates Jackson's duel with Dickinson, originating in a gamblinr
quarrel at a horserace, and in which Jackson, after receiving Dickinson's fire, deliberately shot his antagonist dead. Amos winds up his account of this bloody tragedy as follows: "The firmness of nerve exhibited by Gen. Jackson on this occasion has not ceased to be a subject of admiration. The stern purpose which might in fact have nerved him, was best described by himself, when a person expressed astonishment at bis self-command. "Sir," said he," should have killed him if he had shot me through the brain." ! ! And yet the admiring narrator of this horri
ble business pretends to be shocked at the con
templation of Mr. Clay's bloodless duels !
What monstrous hypecricy ! Xew York Tri

.Marriage. I never knew a marriage expressly for meney, (says Mrs. Child) that did not end unhappyily. Yet managing mothers and heartless daughters are continually playing the same unlucky game. I believe men more frequently marry for love than, women, because they have free choice. 1 am afraid to conjecture how Iatge a portion of women marry who think tbey never will Lave a better chance, and dread beinjj dependant. Such marriages no doubt sometimes prove tolerably comfortable, but a greater number would have been far happier single. If I may judge by my observation of such matters, marryingfor a home ia a most tiresome way of getting a living.

the Chatham Artillery. The Committee of
Reception having repaired to the derot in car
riages received Mr. Clay, who was escorted to
his lodgings at Judge Berrien's, by a large
cavalcade of citizens on horseback. Never
have we seen a more wide spread enthusiasm
Every piazza, door and window of the streets
along which the immense throng which ac
companied Mr. Clay passed, was crowded with
anxious spectators, and the waving of handker
chiefs by the ladies showed how fully they
partook of the warm admiration evinced for
the great Statesman. On arriving at the house of Judge Berrien, Mr, Clay was received by
the Committee of Invitation, and was welcomed by the Mayor in a short address, to which
he briefly responded. During the evening,
the hospitalities of Judge Berrien's house were dispensed to the Committees of Invitation and Reception, who had been invited to meet Mr, Clay there."

tCJ Mr. Clay had a most brilliant reception at Montgomery, Alabama. Although the rain
fell in lorents, thousands were on the wharf
to receive him. He was handsomely addressed by Col. Thomas Williams, and his reply was most touching and eloquent. Mr. Clay's reception at Salem was all that the heart of the great Whig party could wish. The Salem Free Press says: "It is impossible to give any idea of the enthusiasm with which he was universally received by the thronged multitude. It was a perfect triumph over party feeling. Our Democratic brethren vied with the Whigs in rendering the most marked respect to our distinguished guest. So great was the crowd, that far the largest portion of the persons present were unable to gain admitance to the diningroom of the hotel, where the ladies were assembled. Theory for Mr. Clay from without was so grert that he came out into the piazza, in front of the Hotel, where every body pressed forward to take him by the hand, and give him a hearty welcome."

Capital Political Joke. The N. Y. Tribune telis a story worth repeating, about its neighbor the Plebian. The Plebian put forth a great Anti-TaiifT document, as the enlightened conductors of Mr. Van Buren's organ thought, and
dubbed it "I'lebian I ract No. 1," and got it copyrighted. The sagacious Connecticut Whigs
wanted such a document, and began buying it up and circulating it as whiz capital ! After a
while the Van Buren folks began to smell a rat,
the tracts were immediately very scarce.
"No more of'Plebian Tract No. I,' could bo
got at the office for love or money! They tried
their best, but were informed that the edition bad run out, and tbey dident think they should
print any more at present! As the Tract is copyrighted, our folks could not reprint it, and so a most flourishing trade was brought to a dead halt! We cite the following corroboration from yesterday's N. Haven Palladium." "An Incident. While Michel was at the steamboat wharf this morning, selling 'Plebian Tracts to make young Whigs of,' a Loco-fo-co passenger got out of the cars and inquired the price of the lot. Michel named the sum, when a bargain was struck for the whole. The purchasers bad no sooner got possession of them than he stepped to the side of the wharf and thew them all into the water, saying, They were not just the thing to circulate in Connecticut!'
