Mr.. CLAY-THE WHO NOMINEES.

A dinner was given by the Wing members
Of Congress, last week, to such of the Dele
gates to the Harrisburg Convention as Were
in Washington. The whole Wing party
were present, and numerous brilliant and en-
thusiastic speeches were delivered. Mr..
Clay was present; and in reply to compli-
mentary sentiment, delivered a speech char
acteristic Of himself-bold, magnanimous
and misunderstanding the Wings to
discard all personal preferences, and devote
all their energies to the deliverance of the
country from the misrule which afficts it.
We find the following sketch of his re-
marks in the N. Y. Express.
Mr.. Boardnan OF Connecticut, gave the
following toast:
HENRY CLAY--In America, his character
Will be regarded in proud and grateful rccol-
lection.
Mr.. Clay rose, and every person In the
loom rose with him, and gave him as gene
rous welcome as ever conqucror received Just
returning from thesield of victory. In mo-
ment all was breathlessly silent and attentive.
MIR. G. said that although he had accepted
the invitation to participate in the festivities
OF tho day, he expected to remain almost
silent spectator. But he could not remain ST.
lent am, said he, here TO render honor to
those who, after performing a most arduous
service In a National Convention, are about
to return TO their constituents. You, gentle
men, said he, have made a great and patriot
&c sacrifice-you have travelled at an incle-
rnent season Of the year, and some of you
more than thousand miles, to perform what
may be considered as high and important du.
ty. am proud TO honor those who have thus
honored the country--those who, at great sac
IIhces, have left their homes for the public
good. Your body was composed of men Of
great weight of character and talent, and Won
are here, after having travelled the length and
breadth OF the land in this public service
There cannot be single doubt as to the ac
9nieScence of the great Wing Party of the
Union at the result of your deliberations II
was your fortune or misfortune to meet with
varlous opinions; hut meeting and delibera-
ting as was designed, you have made a unan-
iInous nomination. Surely said Mr.. Clay it
becomes no member now to object 10 what
was done. If the friends or favorites are dis
appointed, they are bound to forget their dis
appointment; they are bound by every con-
sideration OF patriotism by their hopes Of
changing and destroying this corrupt Admin
istration; by their desire to establish purer
and better Government, to acquicsce in the
nomination which has hcen made.
"If," continued Mr.. Clay with great earn
estness Of manner,-"If l have friends,-
friends connected with me by the ties Of
blood, or by the regards of common friend
eFiiP,--ifI have any one who loves me- as
Staunton spectator, and general advertiser. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 183?-1849, 1839-12-26

sure them that they cannot do me bet
ter service than to follow my example, and
vote heartily as l shall, for the nomination
which has been made.' (Immense applause.)
''Talk not Of sacrifice" said Mr.. Claw
"What is public man worth to the country,
IN what does he show his patriotism, if he is
not always ready to sacrifice himself for his
country. There has been no sacrifice. We
have not been contending for Henry CLAY, for
William Henry Harrison, for Daniel Webster.
or for Winfield Scott,-No,-we have been
contending for principles. Not men, but
principles, are our rules of action. Look not
then to Harrisburg, but to the White House
mot to the nomination, but to the mountain
OF corruption which it is designed to over
| throw-not to the man who has been nomina-
ted, but to the Goths and Vandals at the cap
ltal.-Willam Henry Harrison and John "
Ter are medicine which will cure us for the
sacrifice, ifsacrifice there be, but there Is none

curse which rests upon it; and ifthey can Their

the Hon. r. M. Il. Hunter was declared du-

Banks & Mr.. Lawrence to conduct the speak
er to the chair, and Mr.. Williams to admins
ter the oath of Office to him. After the oath
was administered, on motion of Mr.. Wise.
the House adjourned.
On Tuesday, after all the members were
sworn in, except the FIVE New Jersey mem
bers, the latter presented themselves at the
bar and demanded to be sworn also. The
Speaker said that if the question had come up
| for the first time, he would not hesitate to adj
minister the oath, but that after the negative
decision of the House, he must submit the
question to its decision again. In order to
test the sense ofthe House, Mr.. Wise submit
ted motion thatthe commissioned members,
'Messrs. Aycrigg, Halsted, Yorke, Maxwell
and Stratten be not allowed to be sworn as
members of the Hcuse''-and debate arose
thereupon, which continued until Thursday
evening. Mr.. Wise then made lono
speech, In which he addressed himself to the
State Rights ncn-espccially to Mr.. Shep-
herd OF n. C., and Mr.. Rhctt, of s. C.-New
Jersey, he said, in asking protection, might
say OF such State Rights men, "Save me
from my friends and will take care of nv
enemies" In conclusion Mr.. Wise said
he knew how the case was to be decided.
The fiat Of party had gone forth, and it was
In vain to attempt to resist it. The Admins
tration members would receive 1I9 votes.
and the Wings but lis, sunless Mr.. Kemp
shall should appear here from the tomb of a
dead wife, and Mr.. Halves be brought in on
litter, and the member from Massachusetts
should appear who is to fill the vacancy
Then the vote would be l19 to 11a, and we
could not expect to make ourselves stronger
| Mr.. Wise concluded, therefore, twas useless

The Harrisburg Chronicle mentions that
Col. %. II. MARTIN, one of the Delegates
from Arkansas, arrived at Harrisburg OIL Mon
day last, two days after the Wing National
Convention had adjourned. The Chronicle
adds to its notice of the fact the following
remarks:
''Ihe disappointment CT this gentleman
can be imagined, when it is known that he
travelled over three Mousrnd miles for the ex
press purpose of attending the Convention,
making that his sole business for this great
journey. He was detained by low water and
