PERCEPTION OF Ma CLAY.-Yesterday afternoon, be-
tween three and four o'clock MIR. Clay landed at The foot
Of Hammond street from The steamboat James Madison
The neighborhood was crowded with people OF all poi.
cal anxious 10 see the man who had tnken SO
conspicuous part in the legislation OF his country
MANY remembered Henry Clay the early champion of
Democracy and regretted that lie had separated himself
from his first political love. 1t was as Democrat that
Henry Clay gained his laurels Since joining his pre-
sent associates he has been out OF his element de TOO
warm hearted, too enthusiastic to have much IN common
with the who opposed the last war. This he has
felt and does feel and longs an1iousy 10 become again
the man Of the people, and not Of the faction.
"When Mr.. Clay landed, there was a simultaneous
shout of welcome and il easy TO see the tears roll
ing down his rugged cheeks he stepped into The ba
rouche. We have nothing TO lose by doing justice to
the reception that awaited him. We can afford TO be
honest and tell the truth. We would not garble and
underrate opponents did on The arrival OF the
President Let this pass--Mr. Clay is man of genius,
and the destnies Of this great nation have been nhu
enced by his career That alone makes him an object
of personal interest," nnd il would have been dsgraceful
the intelligence OF this great city hud ne not oeeh
heartily welcomed.
.sThe carriage in which Mr.. Clay seated was pre-
coded by hand Of music and three hundred and ninety
TWO horsemen OF the horsemen not over ten were per-
sons making pretensoDs 10 the first society, and many
of them were smoking. Several OF the nurshals salso
had cigars in their mouths. In The carriage with MT
Clay Yves Amos Gore, Gen. Lynch, and General HHn
Courlland. After this came one hundred and seventy
six wheeled vehicles Of all descriptions, mixed up 10
every way OF these about seventeen were private car
roees five omnibuses of the wagons used for bring
ing granite 10 the new Exchange, and number OF one
horse wagons After these hundred and seventy SIX
carriages there were l6 drays in succession The SIDE
walks were covered with people, but the number ladies'
in the windows OF the houses was less than that whch
greeted the arrival Of the President When spread out
the head of the cavalcade Howard st., while Inc
fac end was at Union Park Such was the great process
sion Il was neither more nor less and we trust hat
our opponents will treat with equal justice on SINH
lar occasion, should one occur Our warfare is not
personal We can believe that opponent possesses
some virtue, integrity and patriotism.
"hIr Clay addressed the mass from the carriage,h
front of the City Hall, in reply to Dudley Selden he
was general in his remarks, and moderate he was re-
pea,edly cheered and sal down amid such acclama-
lion as only free people can give.
