HENRY CLAY.

Z E
Hail to the statesman great and wise!
The Patriot true and bold
Where'er our trophcd Eagle flies,
His name with pride is told
From Names dark pines, and crsgs Of snow,
To where magnollan breezes blow
Ger rich Floridan flowers;
From billy East to prairied West.
We hail him as our inightiest--
Rejoice in him as ours.
Twice. when the tempest Ger US hung.
And roard DISTINCTIONS wave,
Like light from darkness forth he sprung
To guide us and to save
In the fierce fashings OF the storm
We saw his proud undaunted form
Upon the quivering deck.
As, with his eye on Unions star,
BY his answering arm. afar
We shunn'd the threatening wreck.
His heart has beat in sympathy
Where'er, throughout the world,
The voked havs fought for liberty
With Freedoms flag unfurrd.
Say, Greece when nations saw you bleed,
Who, trumpe, ongued, proclaimed your need
And cllnes Of Andes say
That tempted land with answering shout,
And those stern SUBMITS thunder out,
The name OF HsSRY CLAY.
A soul where patriot love intense
And frankest feelings dwell,
splendid maichless eloquence
courage naught can quell;
No paltry limits bound his fame,
An Empires scat,er'd myriads claim
On mountains wild and lone,
In the ,hronged cry's busy streets,
In the green forests calm retreats,
His glory as their own.
What though detraction has essayd
To cloud his noble brow,
Down from the height himself has made
He smiles upon II now
The oak, while growing, may be strr'd
BY the light touch OF breeze and bird,
Its bark each insect slime;
Matured--though whlIlwnds sweep the sky.
Il lifts. unbowd its head on high
In conscious strength sublime.
Welcome his way---hs steps beneath
Let proud grcen wrea,hs be spread;
Oh how our proudest grecnest wreath
Would brighten on his head
Familiar as household word,
In after ages will be heard
when ours has passed away
A theme for song in happy hours,
trumpet blast when dangers lowers,
The name Of HENRY CLAY.

The DEMOCRACY OF THE PRESENT DAY con-
TRAsTED WITH THE REPUBLICANIsN OF Mr.
JEFFERSON,
We frequently hear great deal of Jefier-
son Republicanism from those who assume TO
the name Of Democrats, and who
set themselves up before their fellow men as
the only true republicans in the land. That
our readers may see how far these high pre-
tensions are founded in truth and Justice, we
will give them brief illustration Of the prn
cipes Of Mr.. Jefferson and the Republic party,
ofwhich he was the acknowledged head, and
leave it to them to say how far they are opposed
TO the practices ofthese modern pretenders-
Mr.. Jefferson inculcated on his followers a high
degree ofreverence for the rights Of the States,
for State institutions and State authorities
lie urged the Importance of watching with
jealousy, those in authority, particularly the
Federal Executive. lie deprecated extrava
gance in the public expenditures, and the null
tiplication OF federal officers, and recommen-
ded curtallment of Executive patronage. He
enJoned a sacred care Of The right of election
by the people, and "absoute acquiescence in
the decisions of the majority, the vital prnc-
pies OF republican government" These were
Inc principles OF the apostle Of liberty, and how
strongly do they contrast with the practices
oil those who now administer the government.
and who, TO deceive the people, lay claim to
he title of Jefferson Republicans In the Ian.
5uage OF one, who has had ample opportunity
OF knowing the secret springs which move these
wolves in sleeps clothing:
democracy now a-days, if we are TO Judge
OF 1t by the practical expositions of the modern
democratic creed, means disparagement of
the state governments; war upon the State in.
stIlutoEs; enlargement of the powers and inAu.

Executive patronage; mutip lication Of officers;
augmentation of the public expenditure-eve

Hen RY CLAY.

Mr.. CLAY is the fabrcator of his own FIR.
tune. He was born in Virginia, the son of
clergyman, and, in his youth, received a limi.
ted education. Endowed, however, by Nature
and stimulated by ambition, the last in6rm.
ty Of noble minds he broke through the tram
mels Of indulgence, and, emerging from obscurj
ty, rose to distinction and honor, at compara.
lively early period Of life. Though the stores
of antiquity and the treasures Of science have
not been very diligently explored of Mr.. Clay,
because his professional occupations have ne.
yer allowed him much leisure to devote 10 them.
yet their want is in q great degree supplied by
the abundance of his native resources. He
makes up, by deep and habitual reflection, for
the absence Of what would be Indispensable 10
ordinary minds; and when he speaks, he pours
out masses ofthought, and with a rapidity that
is truly wonderful. This, too, is done in style
and language appropriate, vigorous, and flow.
ing Mr.. Clay always prepares himself BY
meditation, and not by consulting the opinions,
or availing himself Of the labors of Others
His arguments, images, and views, are there,
fore almost always original and striking, and
peculiar to himself. No man can listen 10 the
volume Of thought he pours out, and behold his
earnestness, and the warmth and sincerity he
displays, without feeling the charm and power
he exercises. There is, in his eloouence,
simplicity and manliness, which gives it raci.
ness and force, that those who labor after
sparkling conceits and tinsel ornaments can
never reach. He knows what will affect and
influence the heart, without having recourse 10
the unreal glitter, the meretricious embelIish.
ments of art, that so many speakers are ambi.
tlous to display. As he advances, his eye
beams with greater lustre, his countenance be.
comes more animated, his figure more stately
aud his action more vehement. Thought rolls
on after thought, in the most magnificent sue.
cesslon, and he moves from proposition TO pro.
position, until his whole subject is developed
and calculated. Such is Henry Clay, as an
orator. Raleigh (N c. Standard
