MR.. CLAY,S ADDRESS.


the SOFA nh by The citizens sf Lsso:sburs, ana
iis vicinity.
REPORTED FOR TIE WING.
The following sentiment being given.
as the 9TH regular Toast
Our distinguished Guest, HENRY CLAY, the
statesman, orator patriot and phiianihropst, his
splendid talents shed lustre on his native state
his eioquence is an ornament to his country
Mr.. CLAY rose and addressed the COM
pany in speech which occu pied nearly
an hour in the delivery, of which we
can only attempt an imperfect sketch
He said that he had never before felt SO
intensely the want of those powers of ell
oquence which had been just erroneous
ly ascribed to him. He hoped, howe
yer, that in his plain and unaffected lam
guage he might be allowed, without vi
olating any established usage which
prevails hereto express his grateful sem
sibility excited by the sentiment with
which he had been honored, and for the
kind and respectful consideration of him
manifested on the occasion which has
brought us together. In passing through
my native State, towards which have
ever borne, and shall continue in all Vi
cissitudes to cherish, the greatest res
pect and affection; | expected TO be
treated with accustomed courtesy and
private hospitality. But | did not anti.
cipate that should be the object of
such public, distinguished, and cordial
manifestations of regard. In offering
you the poor and inadequate return OF
my warm and respectful thanks, Ipray
you to believe that | shall treasure up
these testimonies among the most graft
fying "reminiscences of my life. The
public service which have rendered
my country, your toe favorable opinion
of which has prompted you to exhibit
these demonstrations Of your esteem,
has fallen far below the measure ofuse-
fulness which should have been happy
to have filled. Iclaim for it only, the
merit of pure and patriotic intention
Such as it has been have not always
been fortunate enough to give satisfac-
ton to every section, and to all the great
interests of our country. When an at
tempt was made to impose upon new
State, about to be admitted into the
Union; restrictions incompatible, as
thought, with her CO. equal, sovereign
power, was charged in the North with
being too partial to the South, and as
being friendly to that unfortunate con-
dtion of slavery, of the evils of which
none are more sensible than am. At
another period, when | believed that the
industry of this country required some
protection against the selfish and con.
trac,ed legislation of foreign powers,
and to constitute il a certain and safe
source ofsupply, in all exigencies, the
charge against me was transposed, and
was converted into foe of Southern.
and an infatuated friend of Northern
and Western interests. There were not
wanting persons, in every section of the
Union, in another stage of our history,
to accuse me with rashly contributing to
the support OF a war, the only alterna'

From the Richmond Whg.
Mr.. CLAY.

\. We have the pleasure of laying be-
fore our readers to-day, MIR. Clay's adj
dress to the Citizens of Lewisburg on
the seth uIt. 1t is the most mastery
Speech on an occasion of that sort, we
rave ever seen. The prominent politi-
cal topics of the day, are presented in
the most striking and happy manner
The justification of his whole public con
duet, is powerful, and on impartial
minds, will be conclusive. On the spot
we hear, it produced the most over
wheIming effect In manuscript hi:
speech has been read with avidity, and
universally extolled as successful ane
elegant vindication OF his motives in the
late Presidential affair, and on Other
public occasions. Gen tlemen, hereto
fore his bitter and uncompromlsing de-
nunciators, ars acknowledging the strong
evidence of bis purity, with a trankRes'
honorable to themselves. We do moi
hesitate to say, that with the unpledgeo
and the candid public, this speech vii
be conclusive to establish Mr.. Clay's in
nocence.
