: Ha;lto our shores. ilustrious sage,
Thrice happy viii that day appear,
when ev'ry sex and ey'ry age
Shall meet, and bless, and praise thee here
Hail noble warrior--to the land
Which saw thy youthful genius rise;
Ey'n now. to thee, our hearts expand
Our greeting Aaudhs rend the skies.
Come, valiant patriot--no more
Wars blscken'd tempest scowls around,
Come to our happy, peaceful shore,
With freedoms fairest blessings crown'd; a
Come. and once more those scenes review,
Thyyal'rous arm hath giv'n-to fame:
Flowers DER thy path sweet maids will strew,
And ev'ry tongue will bless thy name.
And though the mem'ry bright appear,
OF deeds by you together done,
Fen now, methinks. mark thy tear,
= Shed on the tomb of WASHINGTON
That patriot fame more bright shall glow.
Which fi.'d thy breast In days OF yore,
When, join'd in love, you met the foe,
And Freedoms banners nobly bore.
And when from earth shou wilt depart,
Thy sun in giory's lustre set,
Deeply engrav'd in ev'ry heart,
Thy name shall live-brave LA FAYETTE
Then welcome-welcome-to our shore,
Where you the tyrant's pow'r withstood;
A nations love invites thee DER,
A nations heartfelt gratitude.

MADISON. INp. April Q.


We have hitherto been entirely silent
on the subject Of the next presidential
election. We thought it would be pre-
mature to attempt discussion of the
subject tive or three years previous to
the election. We also knew it was en-
tirely uncertain at that time, who would
come forward as candidates for that dis
tinguished and highly important Office.
Under these impressions, we did not
conceive it necessary for public good,
to say any thing on the subject. The
time, however, has perhaps arrived,
when public opinion should be express
sed. We therefore hesitate not in giv-
ing ours, and also the opinion of this
section of the state, as near as we have
been able to ascertain It.
As to ourselves, we are decidedly in
favor of Henry Clay, FOR the next pre-
sident ofthe United States. We believe
that Mr.. Clay is not second in point Of
talents and integrity, to any man in the
union. 1t certainiy cannot be asserte d
with any degree Of candor, that he does
not possess at .sst equalquafiications
with any other candidate spoken otto fill
the pre- sidential chair. II, then, his quail
fications s claims are equal to any other
we are confident that his sentiments on
rational policy are considered superior,
and in perfect unison, we hope, with the
sentiments Of majority Of the people
of the United States.
As far as we have been able to ascer-
tain the sentiments of the people in six
orseyen counties around US, We believe
that there are at least four hfths Of
them favorable to the election of Mr..
Clay. As to the voice of the people OF
! indiana at large, We do not pretend to
