MOVEMENTS OF MR. CLAY* &. Mr.

CLAY

That having left his home ua^py the pressure of severest dottiest^ a^hctei. he had come northward to recruit bis wtnugl health and to find in change of Wife, aiWmiftion for his sorrows and that he Md hejNid and ex* pec tod J»t his progress wrold have hflftft unmarked by any fiublic demfthtrattons. In tbia wish be ha4'5een disappointed# hot he could nfo rfrjweaa the gratpeftieli which the spontaneous offerings of regard wUh which ho had been honored, ^a4tey^oroed Mm and ha wa^apeciaHfNiappy in the tribute which hi* («llo#*citizens of New Jersey—-a State for whicn he"ftad always entertained a high esteem—had paid to him, in thus leaving1 their tomes, and coming many miles to welcome htm. Such testimonials of affection from such •g£i, he said, were sources both of pride and •consolation, and would be to him hereafter grate&il and cherished memories. Mr. Clay was listened to with deep emotion and while be was speaking the tears coursed down maAy a sunburnt (^ieek, and when he had done the very rafters shook with the prolonged shouts of his auditors.

IftvtXATjpN TO

Clayton for the residence of the latter gentleman, in Delaware, and that after spending a few days with hit friend, he will return to Kentucky by the most direct route.

Mr. Clay has been overwhelmed with invitations since his visit to Cape May. One of the warmest and most direct came from 250 citizens of the New York Commercial Metropolis. This number visited Mr. Clay at the Cape,and in reply to an earnest assurance of welcome from Nicolas Dean, Esq., Mr. Clay responded as follows:

Gentlemen of the Committee from New York, and I may add, of other Committees, who, like yourselves, have come upon a like occasion—gentlemen of Trenton,

received ^r«|ious to Jus depart

ture from Cape &fur#on Wbnday, deputations from all poinuwtf «fw neighborhood, an^/romi am.and I may all the States, inviting him teviait hls-iogion1 of friends. "On the IQtfc "hm was visited by several hundred Jersey men ana in fcply to a welcome from Mr. Hamptdo, the Represent*five of the District, he said, at we tpote from the North American and Gazette ^1

steamer

flew Hatren started from New York, on the afternoon Thursda^jTjriih a large company on board, bound ^W^Cape May, at the mouth of the

Delaware, for the purpose of in

viting the Hon. Henry Clay to visit the city of New York. The Mayor and Common Council of the city wero invited to accompany the boat, which was expected to return on Satarday.

A letter from Cape May. of the 19th, says that Mr. Clay was to leave

to-day

with Mr.

New

York and of Philadelphia, for there are com mil tees from all these places, and I don't know but from some others also. Fellow-citizens, the eloquent address which has just been delivered, has had the effect almost to induce me to adopt the language which was used on a more solemn occasion, "Thou almost persuadest me to"—go to Now York. (Great applause.) But in all that uprightness of my nature which I have ever endeavored to practice, I must tell you the object and motives which have brought me to the shores of tho Atlantic. I returned to my residence after passing the winter at New Orleans, on the 23 or 24th or March last, and a day or two afterword, melancholy intelligence came to

I havo been nervous ever sincc, and was me. induced to take this journey, for I could not look upon the partner of my sorrows without experiencing deeper anguish. [Here Mr. Clay was completely overcome with his feelings, and covering his face with his hand, remained silent several minutes.— At length he continued

Every thing about AshlaodUjras associated with the memory of the kjf Jo—the very trees which his hand* had

pl®nt.

serve remind roe of his .!«». Had the stroke cume alone. I could have borne it wsth His awistance, and sustained by the kindness of my fellow-citizens, with meekness and resignation—but of eleven children, four only remain—of six lovely and affectionate daughters, not one is left. Finding myself in that •theatre of sadaess, I thought 1 would fly tn the mountain top, and descend to the ocean wave, and by meeting with the sympathy of friends, obtain some relief to the sadness which encompasted me. I camo for private ourpoees, and from private motives alone. I have not desired those public manifestations, Jhut bave desired rather to escape from them. Ky Criend and travelling companion, Dr.

Mercer* will tell you, that in Virginia, in every section of the State of my birth, I have 'been implored to remain, if only for a few •hours, to e«change congratulations with my friends,but 1 invariably refused, and only re•mained in eaoh place sufficiently long to ex•change one vehicle for another. You may imagine that I made a visit to Philadelphia, 'but was accidental^ thrown into Philadeltphia. When I arrival in Baltimore, I learnt that the roost direct route to this place was by the Delaware, /had no public object in ww in taking

that route yet, indifierent I

•in not, nor cannot be, Jo (these manifestations i«f popular regard, nor to any which connects \me with, the honor, welfare and glory of my eonntry. (Great applause,)

Gentlemen of the Committee of New York —1 have truly and aiacerely disclosed the purpose of my journey, but 1 cannot but deeply feel the ioa*if«s]ati*o of your respert and regard—it is received with thankfulness, and excites the warmest feelings of my heart, that I, a private and hoinble citizen, without an army, without a naty, without-even a constable's ataff should have been net at every step of my progress with the kindest manifestations of feeling, of whieh a President, a Monarch or an Emperol might weH be praud. (Great applause.)

No—I am not insensi|le te these tokens of public afTestien and rtglrd. 1 asn thankful for them all. [Applaais.] To yen. gentlemen, of the Committee of New York, who, in behalf of the 400,000 individuals wham you represent, have taken lb much trouble, I am deeplythaakful for this manifests! ion of your regard, but 1 most reluctantly decline the honor of your invitation^ and gentlemen, to jreur fellow-eitisens of ronton, New Haven and Philadelphia, I must beg of you to excuse me, and trost to their acfion to do so, for if 1 do not place myself on \he affection of my oouatryneot whither should I ge, and where should I bo—on the wide ooean without a compass and without a guide. [Immense ap»

in$£3bt fa n*#yas well mi nith our tears, and borrow tho Ambassador*Msituated as I circumstanced as I am,"— or of meeting you. [Laugh.] hope this general its-

ponse will be considered as a specific answer to each of Cqinmittees, (for if you could see how my time occupied here, you would know that it is ir|poraibi]e to write it.) that you are charged with the expression of the best feelings of my heart. And you, gentle* men of New York, bp assured that it will be long before this evidence of your regard will he forgotten—among the recollect ioi\s-pf the incidents of this journey\ this visit will be mqpth, and the circumktancea whic lef 1 wish you an agreeable" voyage on yo turn, and pray make my apologies for constrained to decline your kind invitation.

The editor of the Tribute, in speaking of Mr. Clay*s appearance at Cafe May, says: Tall and erect as ever, his noble countenance bears traces leas of Years than of Sorrow, and when these are momentarily chased away by the tide of buoyant and generous emotion which accompanies the recognizing grasp of some friendly hand, he appears not perceptibly older than when he visited our city eight years ago—hardly so care worn as when last in Congress, battling with the whit Ipool of calamities and treacheries which began with and followed the death of Harrison.— His hnir is just gracefully streaked with sil* ver,—whilo his face is unwrinkled and his step has the elasticity and vigor of youth.

From the Pittsburg Gazette.

MORAL OF THE LATE ELECTIONS.

The Administration, possessed of all the Power and Patronage of the General Government, has in vain made an appeal to the People to sustain its fortunes. From thd result of the recent elections wo have a right to come to the conclusion that its measures are condemned, and not only the measures, but the men and manner of administration. Appealing to the People to sustain the act of ma* king war with Mexico, the People have con* demned that act,and in a manner which carries open rebuke to the occupant of the White House. It is in vain for the party in power to change the issue and to infer that because the people are ready to make an honorable termination of the war, that they in any manner approve the conduct of the Executive in provoking it. We regard the orders given to occupy Mexico as especially rebuked, us we also do the gross assumption of power conferred upon Gen. Kearny and Captain Stockton, by which these men, independently of all Legislative action, established Civil Government in New Mexico and upper California. So has thtf wanton exercise of the' Veto Power been rebuked. They who would not spare a dollar for Rivers and Harbors at home have had ho compunctions in expend* ing millions of dollars in Mexico. We have had plans for establishing a water communication between two great Oceans, and across a country not our own, even from conspicuous members of a party who deny the power to give a free egress to the Commerce of the Ohio and the Lakes. The Gulf of Tehuantepee haa been a Constitutional Improvement, but to Lake Erio and the Mississippi the Constitution has cried "hands off." The Rio Grande could be drained and dredged, but not the Hudson nor the Missouri. It was lawful, too, for the President, aided by hia Secretaries of War and Treasury, and counselled, perhaps, by his learned Attorney General, to make a Tariff for goods imported into Mexico, and one from which all other Nations are receiving more benefit than our own,— but it is inexpedient and unlawful to protect our own Industry from the competition of the cheapened and pauper labor of Europe. So thought the Executive—so thought his advisers—and so, in regard to tho Tariff, thought a Congress where the Administration had in the popular branch a majority of sixty members. But the People in their elections for a new Congress, have stamped the authors and abettors of this disastrous policy with the marks of a most unqualified disapprobation. We regard the Sub Treasury law, and all the great party measures, in like manner rebuked. Think of Mr. Polk's own State returning a Whig majority to the Legislature, and with the certainty of securing a Whig Senator in Congress. Think of a Whig Governor, elected in spite of State pride and the combined influences of all the power of the Government. And no man can well over estimate the magnitude of this power. It flows from the Capitol as in a thousand streams, di-. verging from the great focus at Washington to all the extremes of the Union. Its message to one is Possession--to another Hope of possession—to a third Intimidation—to a fourth, and for those content with vain show, empty honor—to a fifth, reward in purse and the assurance of a public favor commensurate with private exertion. There are the Army and Navy for those attracted by "the pomp and circumstance of glorious war.** There are Civil Offices, and thousands upon thousands of these* The interior has its multitudes of Post Masters, Land Officers, Sub Treasurers snd traveling agents—the coast its Collectors, Inspectors, tide-waiters, measurers, and general attendants.

To meet all these, and overcome all these, is a moral triumph. It is the victory of the People over Power, and over men who have been faithless to their trusts in the exercise of Power. It is a triumph of our Institutions, which wisely refers all public questions back to those who are the true source of power, for their censure or approval.

There is a report very current about town that, very lately, §2,000.000 in specie was sent from a bank in N. ork to N. Orleans for war purposes. That the operation might not .produce alarm in the money market, the money was taken from the bsnk at midnight. On the report be true?—Boston Atlas.

It is true that $2,000,000 in specie were taken lately from this city and sent to New Orleans, via Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and the Mississippi River, it waa not. however, ta ken from a bank, but from the Sob-Treasury. It was sent to New Orleans in charge of a clerk belonging to the Treasury Department, and was, as stated, taken from the Treasury a little after midnight to the Philadelphia lino. This transaction took place within a or two of the promulgation of the report that an arrangement had been made with the Roths* childs, by which it would not be necessary to move coin, sed the day after those who bed been in the habit of transporting specie South for the Department had been informed that pone would be wanted—JY, Y, Tribune,

Jprom the Buffaio Commercial Aimrtittr, THE COST OF IT. According to an official statement from the Twaaury Department the public expensea for tha last tkree months have been twenty-two millions of dollars, of whioh sum moro then sixteenmiUions have been paid out for the army,

The

Loss AND

force in the Bold is not much grea.

ter now than it has been for the year past, and the cost of its maintainancen of muoMf auy greater, The war expense for the army alone during this year will therefore, amount to not far from sixty-five millions, or a million and a quarter a week. Add to this the other expense for the navy, the civil lists, dec., the pensions to be paid hereafter, the vast amount of claims yet to come In, &c., and the sggregats cost of this war in money alone, to say nothing of the livea destroyed, will not le much less than one hundred millions a yoar, a sum nearly double the cost of waging war for the same time against Great Britain in James Madison's time.

Yet while expending this vast amount of blood and treasure in a war for territory that we do not want, and which all parties now agree we will not take, comparatively miserable pittance—not more than quarter of the yearly interest on the sum named—is denied for works that we do want, that will effectually protect life and commerce inour own countrv, and w^iose benefits will be enduring. The official organ of the. Administration and Mr. Polk himself denounce all who will not support the war, who even question its propriety, as traitors, and those who ^k for the improvement of our harbors and rivers as Federalists.

THE UNION

AND THB

ELECTIONS.—The

ficial organ at Washington becomes highly vituperative just about this timo of the occurrence of those Whig victories and Democratic losses in the House of Representatives, which change the complexion of the political majority of that body. It was to be expected, and was looked for with much more certainty than the realization of any of those passages in the almanacs foretelling snow about the first or fifteenth of January. Monday night it indulges all its bitterness under the head of "Coalition of Whig Leaders and Mexican Chieftains and Tuesday evening it fairly raves through another column and a half, entitled "Madness of tho Whigs." Well* the Whigs have become used to the denunciations o? the Union, and at this time especially they will hardly be moved by them except «o laughter. When a thief is pursued, he endeavors to escape with the cry of 'stop thief.' The Union has copied this device, and knowing if there is an incident in all our Mexican relations which gives the slightest color to the charge of a coalition between any Mexican chief and any American politician, it is the free passage into Mexico given by Mr. Polk to Santa Anna, he charges upon the Whigs this coalition as a diversion from this only evidence extant of ar.y such union, combina* tion, or affinity. As for the article headed "Madness of the Whigs," it is a very appro* priate one for the Union at this time, only that the heading should be "Madness of the Union."— Richmond Times.
