Bat there arc soinu heaven-horn minds, that State?, Kingdoms, and Empires can't fetter some affections that are veddt d with every 5ot that eer humanity trod some political -aviours of the world. It is a subject of such general notoriety, and admiration, that it ii almost supeifluous to declare that Mr. Clay wa3the yreat American friend of the liberties of (ireece that he lon, and, fioally,successfully advocated the n'cojrnition of South American Independencethat he received the thanks of the Supreme Congress of the Mexican Republic, for his anient exertions in their behalf, and that he is the leading and untiring Champion for the civilization of Africa, by the emancipation of a wronged, an onpiess-
eJ people, and the transportation ot them
to the homes of their fathei3. It was
enough that tlx! Greek was struggling for
libkhty, against a barbarous foe, by whom he had ben," from birth to death, enslav

the South were contending for that iNni
pexdi:nci: which we had earned hv ; bloody conflict of-' eight distressful years.1 And, though the African here, was reeog
n:zed as a cancer, gnawing upon the vitals of our country it was enough that he was in eodage or, if nominally free, that deb asernent made his freedom the emptiest
ot mockeries, and fastened an ice bolt in

green m'utvtut r cfiigr:i!ed to the Western country. At
Mat tune, the great valley ol the Mississippi was almost an unbroken wilderness. But Mio footsteps of civ ilization thickened, and tl.inkencd fast. Four millions of civilized and independent freemen now swarm through the valley ; and flourishing hamlets and populous cities have sprung out from the untamed luxuriancy of nature. Although commencing his career upon llie &i
grande mondc with the pioneers of the West ; and, notwithstanding, the improvements and consequence of this section of our country have strode onward with a rapidity never equalled yet the youthful stranger, rising upon the energies of a towering and etherial mind , soon reached beyond thr; wild valley led the councils of tho Tnion, and gathered civic laurels in the Old World. The commanding situation, and the elevated stand which he has ever held in the Congress of the Nation, are -nfiicient, of t!ieine!ves, to establish the superiority of his intellect, and the supremacy of hi character. During the last wenty years, the name of Henry Clay has h-'en coupled with all the great proceedings of the Union, and identified ui-li nil iu

" Tho truth is, disauiso it as thev will.
its friends well know that the present Administration is fast loosing "round in the

Public sentiment has undergone an entire revulsion ; and IIkxky Clay, from lieinr regarded as the instrument of "bargain and intrigue,"' is now almost universally looked upon as the disinterested patriot, who would hazard his own reputation, rather than commit the destinies of the nation to hands that he w ell

FROM Tllli BAI.TIMORK 1-HSOXICI.F.
l he Richmond lhnpiirer and Charles
ton 3Iercury are both laboring to rr.n
si ade themselves that General Jackson1;
toast at the Jefferson dinner, is an indie a
tionof his sympathy for the alternativt
disunionists. These gentlemen are afraid
to permit their minds to believe the truth which is, that the toast was given as a im: hi ke to those who were cnancd in eulnh
ing down sentiments so nearly allied to treason, that tlw President had to say to
the guilty actors, in substance, " Drink re
" hellion as much as yon please, but let mr
" tell you, one and all, tho moment you
' raise an arm against your country, shal
be the sign tor your punishment "
Know c that the federal Union must

There was a rumor yesterday, that the

nring, to the Lhxecutive.ofhcial information of the result of Mr. A1cLae,s communica

our impression, however, that if the nee-,,
ti ition, at London, shall have so ended as
to invite legislation by the United States,
it is not within the pale of probability, thai
Congress would, in the short remainder of
the present Session, undertake to act upon a subject, mj very important to everv inter
est of the country, of an adaptation of our
