ted By Tie fatigues he had gone through for
FIVE successive weeks, was SO hoarse that i
was painful for him to speak, and sincerely
desired toavoid exposing himself TO the me-
cessity Of again exerting Bis voice. He
came forward however, and spoke for thirty
or forty minutes ii that style Of winning
eloquence which has given him SO immortal
areputation. He deplOred the condition Of
his health which prevented him from speak
ing as fully as his heart prompted him to do
upon those great topics Of public concern
with which the interests of the country were
inseperably connected He then touched

and argued with irresistible force, the con-
tinuance Of the same conduct under q like
administration Of public aifairs He then
passed to the condition Of the question Of
the Presidency and expressed The convic-
ton that, If those who were opposed to the
measures ofthe administration would unite
upon one man, there would be no doubt Of
their success. He was aware that bis own
name had been used in connection with that
high Office, but, as he had often declared be-
fore, so be solemnly declared now, that, IL

would unite the opposition and enable them
50 TO organize themselves as TO secure the
union,-the harmony success-of the
opposition, he would, now, az this moment,
retire az once and forever to the private sta
ton which a LONG career Of public service
had taught him was the only refuge for tran
quill and enduring happiness. All the utter
rance Of this magnanimous and noble senti-
ment the audience expressed their emotions
BY loud and hearty applause. Mr.. Clay pro-
ceeded to speak Of the importance of the
coming elections in Maryland. II, said he,
Maryland maintains the same stand ia the
next that she held at the close of last Cong
gress, there can be no doubt that wing
majority investigating maiorify-will
be found il the next House Of Representa-

House win be 50 constituted as Is she'd light
upon the dark errors and III eeds az the
administration, and, when that IS done
there can be no fear Of the decision Of a
Virtuous and enlightened people. If, on the
oihef hand, Maryland should reverse the
political condition Of her declaration in
\ Congress, or worse than that, as some Of
the supporters Of the administration calcu-
ilated. choose an entire Van Buren, delega-
