".4lwa3s lille TO latc."-lt has always been
the fortune of Henry Clay to be a little too late in
his political mannuverng. He has never had the
sagaciiy, to make a well timed demonstration for
the presidency. His last move in this way was
against the aboltion:sts, lie was too late by many
months. He was, in fact, the " latcs, combaant"
on the field, and did not appear till the battle had
been won, and the quieus had been given in
Congress to political Abolitionism by the adop-
ton Of Atherton's resolut ons. The April num-
Der OF the Democratic Review in an able article
upon the last Congress, has the following happy
bit at this dying effort of doomed and desperate
politician;
"There was bu, one single eminent individual
who did not perceive how completely the subject
was now placed at res--that the tide had turned
that the iron which but short time ago had
been so Kissing hot had now become cOld;--that
eminent individual was Mr.. Clay, who, towards
the close OF the session, IN his well known anti
abolition speech, was seen to stab and cash, and
mutate most ruthlessly the dead body Of Point
cal Notwithstanding us of the county
player who, after the play was over, the caiastro.
phe consummated the curtain descending, and
the audience gone or going, recollected a most
important speech, which he ought to have deliver
ed al HE beginning Of The first act. and which
therefore, as It contained capital point of tragic
effect, he begged the audience now to listen TO,
by way ofepogue In fact this has always been
Mr. Clay's unfortunate fate in all his Presidential
demonstrations; and, with Mr., Niles permission
we would suggest as the most appropriate epaphi
Tor his tombon the consummation Of that political
death now less than two years distant-as embod-
yng the whole moral of the life OF an ambitious
