HENRY CLAY.
-" Holding the principle that citizen, rs
long as n single pulsauon remains, is under an OBJ
legation exert his utmost energies, in the service
OF his country, whether in private public sta
ton, my friends nay rest assured that IN either con-
diton ! SnNll stand erect with a spirit unconquer-
ed, while life eHdures ready to second their eSer-
tons m the cause OF Union and Liberty."-H. Clay
III have doubtless committed many errors
and indiscretiors over which you have thrown the
broad mantle OF your charity. But can say, and
in the presence Of my God, and Of this assembled
multitude, will say, that have honestly and faith
fully served my counry-that have never wrong
ed It-and that, however unprcpared lament that
am appear in the Divine presence on other ac-
counts, invoke the justice OF His judgment upon
my official conduct, without the smallest aPPrehen'
sion OF His dlspleasure."-Speech OF Henry Clay
AZ Lexington, Ky, 1879.
Ay-Stand erect the CsouQ IS broken
Above thee stands the ralnbOw's token
The shadow OF thy onward way
Is bending into perfect day;
The ISLANDERS OF the venal train
Asscil thy honest name in vain
For thou art still as thou has been,
The hope Of free and patriot men!
Still boasts thy lip its fiery zeal
Thy heart It's Joy in human veal
Still free thy tongue TO soOthe or warn
Sull keen its fery shaft of Scorn-
Still scars thy soul med and strong,
The ulIer for It's sense Of wrong
Still first in Freedoms cause TO stand,
The champion OF her iavorIle land.
Oh-wLatto thee were pomp ard show
Aught that thy country bestowl
Her highest gifts could only take
New honors for their weareT's sake
They could not add wreathe 10 thine,
Nor brighter make thy glory shine:
No-meaner ones may borrow fame,
THINE lives through every change the same
The Grecian, as he feeds his focks,
In Temples vale, on Morea's rocks
Or where the CLEAN Of bright blue waters
l. caught 10y Scio's white armed daughters
White dwelling on the dubious strife
Which ushCred in his nations life,
Shall minge, IN his grateful, lay,
BozZARIs with the name OF CLAY.
Where blush the warm skies Of the South
Ger Co;opaxi's hery mouth
And round the fallen lncl's graves,
The pampas rolls lis breezy waves,
The patriot IN his couneIi nall
The soldier OF his fortress wall
The bThve-lhe ovey-and the free,
Shall offer up their prayers for thee.
And where our own rude valleys smile,
And temple spre and lofty pile
Crown, like the fashions Of a dream,
The slope Of every fountain stream
Where industry and plenty meet,
Twin brothers in the crowded street
Each spire and mountain upward sent
Shall be thy fitting monument!
Still stand erect Our hope and trust,
When law is tramped in the dust,
When DER our fathers yet green graves
The war CRY Of disunion raves
And sons of those who, side by SIDE
Smo,e down the Lion. banners pride,
Are girdug for fratenal strife
For blow for biow-and life for life
Let others rob the public store,
To buy their ilt used power once more,
Shrink back from truth, and open wide
The food gates Of corruplion's tide;
Thou s'andes' in Thy country's eye
Unshrinkng iom It's scrutiny,
And asking nothing but tn show
How far patriots zeal can 90.
And those whose trus. is fixed on thee
Unbought-unpledged- and truly free,
They bow not TO an idol now;
They scorn alike the bride and frown;
And asking no reward Of gold
For b,rierCd fiith-for honor sold,
Seek, faithful 10 their hearths and home,
Nor CesAR's WEAL-BUT THAT OF ROAE
