THAT union, about which we have heard so
much, between the democratic and State

formed, and the Globe still denounces Nullif-

follows of course that Mr.. Calhoun and his fol-

Mr.. CLAY AT THE BowERY THEATRE,
"A brilliant and crowded house was col.
ec'ed last night at the Bowery, in conse.
quence Of the announcement that it would
be visited by the guest of the People,
HENRY CLAY, of Kentucky. The eve
nlng's entertainment consisted of the new
and splendid oriental spec acIe OF Giafer'
al Barmeki, which has been got up IN a
style that rivals any thing ever before pro-
dnced on our stage Between eight and
nine o'clock, Mr.. CLAY entered the box.
that had been reserved Tor him and the
Committee of Arrangements, introduced
by the manager of the establishment Mr..
HAMBLIN. As he entered, the performs
ances were suspended the audience rose in
every part of the house. and welcomed him
with hearty three times three, that shook
the edltice to its foundation.
Here again we witnessed that efflrves.
cence of popular feeling-that unreslrained
and irrepressible outbreak of welcome and
cOngratu atlon-whlch forms a STRIKING
contrast with the mere homage that is paid
to place and d'gnltles, that is born Of no
direct sympathy with the public mind.
There is no other man in the nation who
excllcs this feeling to the same degree with
Mr.. CLAY. Go where he may, you find
him surrounded by "troops OF frlends"-an
earnest. eager. sympaihzng multitude,
who feel with him and for him. who ara
attracted with the charms of his personal
| and private association, no less than by tho
lustre of his distinguished services.
The arrangements for his reception
were conducted in the most quiet and
! agreeable manner. The pressure and con.
fusion at the doors so usual on public oc.
casions. were obvla,ed by judclous dspo.
sIiion of The officers OF The establishment.
who succeeded IN preserving perfect order
among the crowd. AS he rose 10 leave
the box the cheers which had greeted Mr.,
CLAY at several intervals during the eve
ming were again renewed, and continued
withn doors and without until be had en-
tered his carriage, and left the scene.
Much credit is due to Mr.. HAMBLIN for
the manner in which the whole affair went
oh--so much TO the satisfaction of his dis
thgulshed visitor, aod to an audience
probably the most numerous ever collected
within the walls Of an American threstre.
