A public meeting in Bollver (Ind.) some
time since appointed a committee to express
to Mr.. Clay their regret at learning that he
had spoken of retiring from public and re-
ouesting him to reconsider the subject. The
following is par, Of Mr.. Clay's answer 10
tho letter of the committee
This is the thirtieth year since I first en-
tered the service of the Federal Govern
men.. Ny labors for the Public have been
various and often arduous. | think they
give me some title to repose, which feel to
be necessary on many accounts. believe
with YOU that the present period in the al
fairs Of our country is eminently critical.
1t requires all the wisdom, the virtue, and
the energy among us to avert impending
danger. If were persuaded that, by re.
naming longer in the public service, | could
materially aid in arresting our downward
progress, and in communicating additional
security to civil liberty and our free lnstltu-
tons, should feel it my duty not to quit It.
But am not sure that my warning voice
has not been already too often raised. Per.
haps that ofmy successors may be listened
to with more effect. | sincerely hope it
may be.
These, gentlemen, are briefly my motives
for retirement. 1t is my purpose, if my
health will allow me, to remain in Congress
during the present session. | reserve for
future consideration whether shall serve
out the term for which the Legislature OF
my State did me the honor last to elect me;
and your wishes will have due weight in
any decision Imay form. Beyond that term,
| can conceive OF no probable contingency
which would reconcile me to further con.
tinuance in the Senate.
