Mr.. Clay has been the able vindicaiOr o r
his countiy's rights at home, and the no less
able defender of her rights, interests and glo-
~ abroad IN the negotiations al Client, which
produced happy peace, with the only free
country In Europe; and which trust will

which form the best part Of the basis of The
constitution of one country and the basis and

He has gained an exalted Reputation among
his fellow citizens, but others share with him,
their respect and favour. But his glory in
South America, is not shared with aov rivals
