honor.
Such is the picture HENRY CLAY pre-
sents 10 US. The pillows of party boiling
with envy, and urged by every base and un-
haIlOwed passion, may roar around him. He
stands, like a rock in the ocean, unmoved.
The storm will have its course, and cease.
Brighter skies and calmer seas shall come.
Justice will yet be done to that great and
good man. Republicans, in their calm mo-
ments, will remember, that Henry CLAY
was always the advocate of CIVIL LIBERTY.
The friends of AMERICAN INDUSTRY rejoicing
in the general prosperity which must flow
from the establishment of the system which
has sustained AMERICAN MANUFACTURES,
will not fail to do justice to the early and elo-
quent champion of their cause. All, who de-
sire the INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT of the
country, at first moments returning reason,
will unite to acknowledge how powerful has
been his agency in advancing system so in
dispensable to the general welfare.
For nearly thirty years has Mr.. CLAY ming
led in public affairs. He has been brought in
contact with the most learned, talented of our
Statesmen. Where and when has he found
superior? Where and when has he been
found unequal to the duties which devolved
upon him? Kentucky may well be proud of
him; as he is grateful to her for having cher
ished him in youth, and sustained him in man.
hood. Long absent from home, new gene
ration of men has come into active life, to
most Of whom he is, personally, stranger.
The people of Kentucky are as high spirited,
as they are generous-ardeDt AS they are
brave and if in the whirls and eddies of this
great maelstrom of politics, her favorlte son
has, for moment, been thrown by them out
of the line of promotion. it cannot be doubted
but they will return to their ancient Love. In
the mean time he may be assured, that the
change of position. from the elevated rank of
Secretary Of State to the walks of private
citizen, will abate nothing of the respect of
his admirers, or the affection of his friends.
Vast numbers who are devoted to the cause
of civI liberty, of internal improvement aud of
american industry, still look to him with the
favour of an DID, tried and faithful advocate,
unerringIy true to his country, his principles,
and his friends !-Tillage Record.
The Vermont WOlE-A wolf. says the Yer
mont American, which had committed dep
relations for years in Ripton and its vicinity,
was shot on Friday, the 18th ult. by two Of
the indefatigable citizens of that town-Mr.
Calvin Pier, and Mr.. William Arnold. This
animal had eluded repeated attacks of large
hunting parties-had more than once cleared
himself from traps-and had come to be an
object of quite as much terror to the focks,
as the depredator that was long since des-
troyed by the daring of Putnam. The expe-
dent was finally hit upon Of erecting plat
forms ia the tops of certain trees, near sheep
folds which his wolfship most frequented !;
and upon these were stationed practised
marksmen. After some fruitless watching,
dogs were started in pursuit, which reused
and attacked the animal, but were Overpow-
cred by him and driven in. The wolf pursu-
ed his assailants-they, of course. fled for
their masters-and thus the general foe was
drawn within gun shot. when he instantly re-
ceived the contents two rifles. Both of the
men made capital shots, their balls striking
within two inches Of each other, near the fore
shoulders. The beast was large and appar-
emily very powerful animal and although
either of the shots must have proved mortal,
we understand he run half mile after receiv-
ing them both.
Lotteries.-It is stated in the paper. that
two vendors of lottery tickets recently de-
camped from Ware village, in Massachusetts.
where they had disposed of a considerable
number, and SO cOntrived it, for the purpose,
no doubt, Of increasing the profits Of the,
trade-to sell whole ticket and six quarters
of the same NUMBER A few years ago,
one Of their brethren "decamped" from some
town on the Hudson, having sold 10 quarters
of one ticket. 1t happened to draw a con-
siderable prize, and to have paid 10 quarters
of the prize would have been inconvenient.
