them all, and declared the motion carried. This
was good movement in order to show Mr. Clay the
art and mystery Of cheating as carried on in Wall
street, in order that he might see il 10 the
system By which politicians cheat one another at
Washington Mr. Clay however had net time to stop
and learn the rogueries Of Wall street.-the passed
through 1t slowly. and stopped no where.
On the steps Of the Bank Of America crowd OF
brokers assembled; on the steps of the Phoenix bank
was lot OF iaanciers but the whole Of them could
not or would not raise cheer The laberers Of the
custom House, and the lrishmen working at the
Manhattan Bank, in particular gave him three mag
nihcant groans, that made ruAbling sound through
wall Street, resembling distant earthquake All
this was in character. Opposite Webbs Office a
string OF Hoyhead signal flags was stretched across
the road, and Webb's printers gave him cheer.
webb was there ready to deliver his speech but
DIR Clay had not time to stop to hear him. 1t is
shame, however, that the public should be deprived
OF the plesnre of perusing his illustrious speech
and we have therefore procured copy of what he
meant to have said He rehearssd it in tho morning,
before Hosken & Snswden, who formed an audience
of 30 in their persons, and who pronounced the
speech, id fine speech and no mistake. Here is
what he would have said:

This was the great undelivered speech, and will
have as great effect through columns
as though the chivalrous Colonel had delivered him
self Of it in person. The scene in Wall street
funny. Joe Hoxie scullsg about
IKE parehed pea in fry-pan Willis Hall was
running round getting up cheer; two carriages anda
cart were following in the wake Of Mr.. Cay's car
riages and the oafers were running by the side Of
It. The Financiers looked and sheok their
heads; the good society did not mix in it at ALL
sr Mr. Clay has hardly reached mp to them yet; he
aas only got high as to associate with Webb, and
DR.. jerks Smith and few other loafers. He has
improved much; and if he remained here a month,
lie would be finished. His reception at Brooklyn
vas excellent; and he returned about o'clock, din
ID and went to the National Theatre at o'clock
Mr.. Clay was well received whenshe went TO the
National in the evening. At the end OF the second
4ct SEINE one cried out Three cheers for Harry
corth h.
,heers were given. A Custom house loafer in the
pit rose and cried Three cheers for Van Barren"
A few cheers were given, and great many Kisses
Then there was crest nsise, and Mr.. Clay went up
into Wallack's elegant private room, and drank
punch out Of an pitcher. He leaned against
pillar and looked like veritable leafer with some
punch in his hand. " This looks good" said Clay;
he drank; !" it tastes better than il looks" Try
the champagne, SAID w xn.cA. This 10 svoa
enough said Clay; but that looks big as was
sail bowl" "very like the wallack vase" said
Webb. A loud laugh ensued; and the party left for
Niblos, where more huzzaing and drinking and
tom foolery took place, and Clay went home % bed
Mr.. Clay has become little refined by his vsi
amongst us. The had staid week, and been washed
and purified, and scented with Cologne water, he
might reach the good society circles Of this city; as
it is he has made bat llustrious loafer progress
And what farce the whole affair is. Webster is
making royal progress in Europe, Van Buren, max
ing a royal progress at one end Of the State, and
Clay at the other.
We must next week commence an investigation
into all the tom eoleres enacted by all the great men
that ever had prscessioa COTS up in hosor Of them
First, there the Devil HI. made sort of royal
progress through Paradise, and kicked up hell Of
a row and wanted huzzas. Then there was that old
loafer Moses! He made . procession through the
wilderness, and got up huzza over Pharaoh and
his host. Then there was Sesostris and Cambyscs
asd Semiramis, and Nebuchadnetzers and Belchaz-
zer, and Alexander, and whole lot Of loafers went
through the whole world with professions and
hurrahs We must analyze all these things, and see
whether the Egyptians, and Assyrians, and Persians
and Greeks and Romans exceeded the Americans in
tom fooleries; the latter having moderszed all the
folles Of ancient times and called the same Repub-
canism.
