It's various mysteries. He assures the pub

Should any Gentlemen wish their wig,

them neatly done; and if the Ladies have
any hair they wish worked up, it can be-
done IN the neatest and latest style, and
should shey have Frizzets that they wish

Mr.. nAy

The closing remarks of Mr.. Clay, a. the Public
Dinner given TO him on his return TO Kentucky,
by the citizens of Woodiord, are those that ought
TO sink deep in the heart of every true American
they are emPhatically those Of truth and SO.
berness"
Mr.. Clay next alluded 10 his intended retire
ment from the Senate of the United States. One
session of the term for which he yes last elected,
still remained. lie felt the full force of the i'm
Piled obligation which every man who accepted
Office contracted 10 serve during the period for
which he was appointed, unless some strong rca-
sons existed for his resignation. That considera-
ton might possibly carry him back once more to
the Senate, although it was his real wish now to
retire. lie would, at all events positively decide,
in due season, that the State might be fully repre-
sented But beyond that period be had no desire
TO continue IN the Senate. And, although he en-
tertaIned the Profoundcst gratitude for the conf
dence so long and often rcposed in him by the
State OF Kentucky, and should ever feel deep and
thankful sense OF the friendly wishes Of his fellow
citizens TO retain him in that body he could no,
consent to be again candidate Tor seat in it.
And he hoped the State would turn its attention To
some other citizen. He admitted that enincntiy
prosperous as the whole Union undoubtedly was
IN the general business and concerns of the people
its political condition far from being safe OF
satisfactory. He was convinced that foul corrup
ton had penetrated almost every branch of admin
lst'allon, and vas gradually poisoning the whols
government.
iio admitted il 10 be the dUy of every citizen
10 employ, 10 his latest breath, all his Abilities and
every energy be possessed, If necessary, to serve
his country, and he would willingly remain in the
public councils, and exert himself hereafter he
bad done heretofore, 10 preserve our free nsiitu-
tons in the utmost purity, if he believed he could
do any public good at all proportonatc 10 the pfi.
ya'e sacrifices which lie should make. Bot he had
been long time IN public employment and need
cd reposc. Perhaps his voice had been too often
raised, WAS too familiar to the public ear perhaps
one less known, Of more buoyanCy and elasticity,
may be heard with more salutary effect. lie fer
ycnlly hoped that the Republic might survive all
impending dangers. But ii was not to be dis.
gulscd that the people themselves must purify and
preserve their free institutions, If they were to be
supported No people ever lost their liberty who
