~ In the Gazette this morning will be found
an account of the honors paid to MIR. CLAY by
his friends, the Mechanics of Columbus. in Ohio.
We publish it principally to show what is Public
Sentiment in the West. IL rcioices us exceed

country, the honest, hard working Mechanics,
are every where going for Mr.. CLAY. They
oppose the ofice-holders, expectants, and lack
eys OF the present Administration.

The Boston Patriot states that Mr.. WEBSTER
has consented to take part in the approaching tri-
ais AT salem for the murder of the late Mr.. White,
as an auxiliary TO the Attorney General and So
licitor General.
1t is more than probable that, at the next ses-
sions of the different Legislatures of the States.
some uneuuivoca expression concerning the con-
stitutionality and expediency of the Tariff and
Internal Improvements will be made by each and
all of them. This course appears to US to be
proper on many accounts. and especially 50. IL
order that the people 2f Snnth Carolina NAV
know the settled OPINIONS Of the people Of the
other States. If peace and quiet can only be
restored by an amendment OF the Constitution
with regard TO the power Of the General Govern

alton of such meE as HAyNE and CHEvEs; but
sure we are. that they are furnishing their fair
fame and reputation. When the whole country,
rs we think it will, comes, next Winter, to eX-
press its adherence of Dsunion. and to trown
upon the advocates of this doctrine,
they must at once feel how much they are fallen
from their high estate. Can General HAYNE any
longer quote from his place in the Senate Hart
ford Convention pamphlets? We may yet have
to chronicle another Conveaiion, different III its
nature and end.
1t Is with sensations little short of what would
thrill my bosom BY the loss of mother or sister,
record, in this days paper, the death Of Mrs.
CATHERINE PEcHIN, wife of Col. Inn. Pechin,
of Baltimore. who departed this life on Tuesday
last, at the house of her sOn-in-law, Mr.. Edward
Insle. in Washington. An acquaintance Of up
wards of thirty years, in the various situations Of
life in which young men may be placed some
time as an apprentice, sometime as journey
man, and afterwards as a friend-l feel toward
her that regard and respect which ought ever to
be felt for such being as Mrs. PeehIn certainly
