From the Louisville (Ky.) Adr. PRIEST CLAY! This pious gentleman on tho 27th of June, submitted the following resolution. "Jicsolved"1 by the Senate and House of Representatives of tho United States of America, in Congress Assembled, That a joint committee of both Houses wait on tho President of the United States, and request that he recommend a day, to be designated by himj of puhlic humiliation, prayer, and fasting, to be observed by the pooplo of tho United States, with religious solemnity, and with fervent supplications to Almighty, God, that ho will be graciously pleased to continue his blessings upon our country, and that Ho will avert from it the Asiatic scourge which has reached our border? or if, in the dispensations of his Providence, we arc not to be exempt from tho calamity, that through his bountiful mercy its severity may bo mitigated, and iti duration shortened." Is not tlii j a queer spectacle? Mr. Clay!! assuming tho functions of tho Priesthood, and appointing for tho nation, a day of prayer! of fasting!! of humiliation!!! This is tho second time that ihcpcoploof the United States have witnessed the prayerful exertions of this Rcrcrcnd Senator. At Baltimore, seeming to hold communion over the arch fiends, he invoked "war, Pl'STILKXCK, and famine"' upon his country! and now, that tho "pes tilence" has come, ho calls upon the people of the United States, to prostrate themselves in prayer, until tho fcoirrgc fchall be driven from our bordcrsl If he conceives himself to have been at all instrumental in bringing the pestilence upon his couutrt and a feeling of remorse is now prompting him to avert or abato tho curso of his invocation, wo think his own narrow bones' should be the principal sufferer. Let him "down upon his knees" and set an example of prayer and humiliation. In his Baltimore invocation, he pronounced Gen. Jackson's election a greater curso than either "war Ci,tilencc, or famine.' Why not recommend to the people of tho United States to supplicate the Almighty, that ho will be graciously pleased" to avert this calamity also, from our country? Seriously, wo hope the House of representatives will treat this proposition, as they did the Sunday mail project, with a feeling little above that of contempt It calls fur eve ry man's reprobat ion. A prayer by state authority! truly sounds strangely in tho public ear. It reminds us of the canting, hypocritical days of Cromwell, when tho worst of villains professed to bo the greatest saints, and every crime was perpetrated by the grace of Cod. Mr. Clay may bo worthy to follow in the wake of tho illustrious and never to be forgotten, Praise Cod Bare bone. Whenever we shall have a State Re ligion, and it shall have rank among tin duties of the government to watch especially over the interest of the Church, then publicprayer and fisting will follow as ordinary incidents. But until this foul and unnaturni union cf Church and State shall bo clR-ctcd, let thesu things remain for the people of the Old World, who are rojjardcd as bom ftvith saddles on their backs for priests aud jious Statesmen to ride. Jf prayer is believed to be riTiracious in j st:l. ; ,jj0 SC0Urgcsof the Alnvijjhiy, let it I ill Q-ivimir I'omtiV.inJoiL in se 1 crL,tjn iJl0 closet' not upon the street, as tho hviwcrites were used to do not with thojMiiupand pride of State procession, as by poci ites would now dc li'jSt to do. Such ostentation mocks tho spirit of true religion, which is meek and unpretending. Let it bo made by July men, whose hearts uro pure -are hushed in tho tranquility of virtue love to their "father uho is in heaven" not by iho?o whoso bosom are tortured, and wrung by the demon passions of ambition, jealously, aud revenge.
