HENRY CLAY.


This gentleman yesterday resigned his
station as Speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatives of the u. States, and took leave
of that body in an affecting manner. His
loss is much regretted by vast majority of
the House, frem i station which he has filed
with uDrivalied dignity and propriety, and
in which his conduct iss merited & receiv-
ed almost universal applause. The sense
of his merits entertained by the Heuse, was
manifested by the honorable testimony of
appreciation ofhis conduct which was accor-
ded by that body, Immediately on his
departure from the chair, by a vote of
IA to 9! And the Minority on this
occasion was composed of those, whose
appreciation, we may venture to say,
Henry Clay never courted, if he desired il.
Fhey were generally those into whose bo.
som the Demon of Party has infused dead
ly hate of every thing that wears the garb of
Republicansm.

pointed Speaker of the House of Represen

of their resolution calling for them, the do
currents relating to the Russian Mediation.
We were not able to obtain copies of these
for publication to-day. but shall certainly
give them tomorrow, and will no further
anticipate the satisfaction our readers will
derive froIa their perusal. than to assure
them that they are perfectly satisfactory on
every point to the friends of the country, and
highly honorable to the impartiaiity and in
tegrity of the executive and his ministers.
They az once put down the host of opposi.i.
on commentators on the Russian Mediation.
as completely as the documents on French
affairs. (Which we shall also publish j refute
the idle story OF disrespect said to have been
exhibited to our Minister in France.
