This ball was got up by the managers with great
splendor The decorations were rich and appropriate,
consisting of numerous finely designed and executed
banners tastefuIy arranged and suspended from the
walls of the saloon On the night of the Inauguration

from the numerous candeebros and chandeliers were
So arranged as to avoid that offensive glare sometimes

Gen. Trioh, poured out constant stream of harmo-
n.y. adup ell TO the dance and the promenade About
half past nine O'clock the President attended by part
of the committee of reception entered the saloon, and
the band struck up beautiful march, composed for the

with the company He was accompanied by the Vice

Mr. Clay, Mr.. Rives, Mr. Tallmadge, &C. The sup

prepared by sklful French artistic, and the wines
were choice and abundant The preparations had
been made by the managers for larger assembage
than attended, and nothing could have been more
splendid or tastefuy arranged than this supper 1t
did infinite credit the skill and genius of the artistic
who prepared it. The ornaments were magnificent
and in admirable taste, and the supper was said TO

before at public ball in this city. The dancing was
continued till late hour. The room glowed with
beauty, and pleasure sparkled in every eye.

THE ELECTION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
/ The People Of this State, of both political parties
notwithstanding il is but few days before import
ant election is take place, appear very Indifferent to
the result the Tories because they have been so sorey
defeated in the land, and in doubt whether their
cause is not too worthless and rotten longer TO sustain
and the Wings appear equally careless as TO the
issue probably that they have hardly had time to con-
template and rejoice that grand Revolution which
has borne Gen HARRISON TO the city of Washington,
and will after few days, place him in the Exc
cutive Chair.
But why this indifference the part Of the Whgs}
Why this slumbering upon the field of warfare while
the clarion notes of victory sounding in our ears
Ale there entrencements to break up-no rcdoubs
to stormno enemies to drive from their Businesses,
that the calamity waged be not stayed until we
are complete masters Of the field Do we owe moth
ing to our brethren in other States for the exertions
they used in bringing about the political victory which
has given to all of such for general joy1 Are
we not rather, bound to follow their praiseworthy
example and taking advantage OF recent successes,
like good sodiery follow them up until the adversary
be made, even in New Hampshire, TO betakc himself
to such hiding places that his deformes may be hid
forever
Wigs Of The Granite STATE! The conviction should
come home to YOU with rcsistess force that you have
work to do if you would do justice to the feelings Of
your brethren in other States. Let us, then, en-
deavor least with strong and stout hearts, TO
knock down of the grave stones" of Toryism,
that il may more be known where the foul carcase
was buried Let work this year, the next and the
next that we may drive from amongst us every
tigc Of those false doctrines which have long had
foothod here. Let US, in certain sense, adopt the
Athenian resolve, and neither ''slumber sleep
until the heather gods be thrown down and demolish
ed and those who worshipped them made converts to
the true fath.--N II Statesman.

The following tribute 70 the talents and character
Of the great statesman Of the West, was originally
published in the Gaspee Torch Light, paper which
did good service TO the great Of political reorma
ton:
HENRY CLAY.
Ii will be one OF the blessed fruits OF the glorious
political Revolution about 10 take place, that il will
bring again this great and noble spirit into the very
front rank OF the National Government. Never has
that bright STAR OF the West beamed upon the
country with more bengnant ray than at this moment
That noble chvalrous and Patriotic Statesman was
the rsi choice for the Presidency OF very large poi
ton, probably majority Of the great party when -
now gong into power almost by general aeelamss,on
But when the delegates Of the party from every Stale
IN the Union, assembled at Harrisburg, decided that
pubilc expediency and the perious condition OF the
country required them to surrender all individual par
tali,iesto sacrifice all personal preferences upon the
altar OF Republican Liberty he only bowed cheer
fully to the decision but actually couried the sacrifice
OF his own high claims by urging some Of the Ken
lucky delegates TO make the selection of his friend
General Harrison' His conduct tina, occasion,
before during and since the decision OF that Conyen
ton, has been above all praise
If Il were possible for him TO rise still higher IN the
affections of his countrymen-hs noble magnanimty
his generous self devotion to the welfare of his coun
try-hs burning and dsinteresed patriotism since the
nomination of Gen Harrison, have gwen the last
finishing touch to that glorious picture Of pure and
elevated public rirtue which his whole life presents
And though he should never reach the high ONCE
which he Justly deserves, and is well calculated
to adorn the loss will not be so much his as his coun
uy's. He has lost nothing by losing the Presidency
he could have added nothing to his high enduring
fame, had he gained it.
Henry Clay cannot be ennobled by Office. Ills
fame is independent of, asd above all station. his
character cannot be either elevated depressed by
favorable adverse circumstances will survive the
mutations or party I'm d~6~s AEe Plny nsxuust- ~ v-
litical malice, and needs not the adventitous aid Of
partial friendship. He has for himself bright
wreath Of civic worth which never fade. The
solid fabric of his reputation may bid defiance to the
wasting incursions Of Time itself; and for ages after
the marble monument which shall soon mark the spot
where his remains will repose, shall have crumbled and
mingled its dust with his who rests unconsceusly he
meath 1.-THE fame Of Henry Clay will stretch on and
that name now SO dear to Patriotism and Freedom
will be canonized by the friends of Liberty in all
lands-through all time.
