DEATH Or GOVERNOR CLINTON.


1t is our melancholy duty to announce the death
of DE WITT CLINTON, Governor of the State of
New York. This unexpected event occurred on
Monday evening He had taken ride in the morn
ing-dined with his family and few friends-and,
when they had withdrawn, retired to his library,
where, sitting upon chair with book in his hand
and his son only present, without struggle, effort,
or groan, he suddenly expired From the time his
head fell back, to the arrival of the physician, not
ten minutes, it is said, elapsed-yet was life wholly
extinct. Dropsy in the chest is supposed to have
been the cause Of his death.
Thus has perished all that can die of such man.
The name of De Witt Clinton is identified with
the history of his country, as that of an eminent,
active, and most influential politician 1t is still
more gloriOusly identified with it as public benefac
tor, who availed himself of the power and weight Of
his political character to foster education to promote
and diffuse the humane and peaceful arts, and to
improve the condition and exat the character of his
countrymen.-ln the great work ofinterna improve
ment, he persevered through good report and
through evil report, with steadness of purpose
that no obstacle could divert, and when all the ele-
ments were in commotion around him, and even his
chosen associates were appalled,, he alone, like COL
umbus, the wide waste of waters, in his frail bark
with disheartened and unbeeving crew, remained
firm, set-posed, and unshaken. Is 1t extravagant
or unjust to say. that, like Columbus, he was recon-
| pensed by opening new worlds to our intercourse
vast regions, which the canals of New York must
be the means of subduing, civiizlng, enrching ?
To his personal character, his love OF literature,
his industrious habits, his devotion to humane and
liberal studies,--his socitude for the institutions
that adorn and the charities that console and relieve.
the mixed condition of our common nature, we do
! full justice.

In 1928 there was controversy in the Federal
party of this State, as to their candidate for the

assembled at Dover, to make the nomination, four

The Senate of Kentucky is engaged in a singular

The affair has become truly farcica. F. ?. Blair,

Dudley (Senator) moved to commit Harrison but
the Senate refused the motion. During the inves-
tigation have heard several good speeches. full of
interest, and mixed with much bitterness. II will
turn out complete abortion, most signal defeat.
Francis Johnson and L. Quares have been sent for,
but have not arrived. John Il. johnson former

Jacksonl has been examined, and came out like an
honest man. He declares he neuer dad, nor does he
