ing notice of Mr.. Clay's arrival at that
place.
Mr.. Clay arrived in this town about
twelve o'clock this day. He rode in a
carriage with his family, and was ac-
companied by other carriages, in which
were Lieut.. Governor Armstrong, Hon.
Alexander II. Everett, Hon. Edward
Everett, and several other gentlemen
| from Boston.
1t was understood to be the wish of
| Mr.. Clay that his entrance into this
town should be marked by no ostenta-
tious show or parade-and no escort
was provided by the committee of ar
engagements. He therefore proceeded
directly to his lodgings at the Merri-
mac House, where the committee of
arrangements were waiting to receive
him. He occupies this afternoon in
visiting the various manufacturing es-
adjustments, and at half past seven
o'clock this evening, he will be ready
to receive, at the Town Hall, all those
citizens who express any desire to be
introduced 10 him.
We are happy to find that Mr.. Clay's
visit to this town appears to give salts
faction to all parties. All are DESTROYS
of beholding the man whose able and
persevering efforts in the cause Of Anne
rican Industry has given an impulse to
the prosperity of New England, and
has caused populous villages to rise in
the midst of barren wastes--a man to
whose talents and exertions, the town
ofLowell owes its very existence.
And visit to this busy, thriving
place must be particularly gratifying
to Mr.. Clay. He will here have an op-
portunity of Witnessing "the full tide
Unsuccessful experiment, the effects of
the American System, not only upon
the pecuniary prosperity ofindividuals,
but upon the minds, manners and mo.
rails of Americans.

graph an extract from letter from Co.
