CLAY, BRENT AND HARRISON.

Between Mr.. Clay and Col. Brent, both
of whom are distinguished members of the
Wing party, we shall not adopt the slavish
and disgusting course of the Louisville
Journal and some other editors, who seem
commissioned to hunt down, by the most
reckless and persevering talsehoOds, every
man-no matter what his cause may be-
who may temporarily disagree OF dispute
with the distinguished Kentuckian. While
leaving, however, to the proper parties, the
good or bad faith connected with the sub
ject which constitutes the burden of the
card of Col b., the fame of the dead no
less than justice to the living statesman,
impels us to copy the following from the
Cincinnati Repubican-thc editor Of
which, having enjoyed the confidence of
General HARRISON, speaks doubtless what
he knew. He says:
Gas to the charge which Col Brent makes
with regard to Gen. HARRIsoN's feelings towards
Mr.. CLAY, we have a word to say: and we utter
IHdI "OIu peCduSt we happen 10 hHOtO SOWeUttHS
about the matter. Gen. HARRISON did feel on
Two occasions that Mr. CLAY had treated him
unkindly, and had no explanations ensued, he
would have died in that belief. But these ex-
plantations were made, and the result was full
and manly reconciliation-a reconciliation which
made both parties feel and acknowledge that a
simple misunderstanding was the cause, and the
only cause, OF temporary arrangement. In
proof Of this we need only refer to the fact that
Gen. HARRISON, both before and after the 4th
of March, 1871, took occasion publicly and pri,
Udtely, to speak OF the noble Kentuckian as
the man among men who ought to have been
President of the United States So far, indeed,
did his generous attachment carry him, that his
friends in Cincinnati, feared at one time lest he
might violate the pledge which he had gwen,
that no man should know whom he preferred to
succeed him
No no the lamented HARRISON cherished
the truest affection for HENRY Clay, and if, for
a moment, he thought he had been wronged by
him, it was only to have the conviction still
more strongly riveted upon his heart, that
neither he, nor the country had a truer friend.
And as we know, too, he was attached, warmly
attached TO Col, BRENT, and could he now
speak, the word OF censure, kindly, but firmly
uttered, would be heard coming from his lips,
rebuking him for the betrayal of his confidence,
and the violence of his passion, The fame OF

GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE,

The Democratic Review. in addressing
the President of the United States, uses the
following manly language, and "thus faith
fully the Boston Post says, Expresses the
sentiments of the Democratic party" 1t is
totally at variance with the spirit of the
Globe, which whines over every removal
however insignificant or however Just:
ave care not for your otiices-we want none
of your patronage. Bestow all that you have to
hesow on those who have been languishing for
the spaca Of three Presidential terms, arar from
the smiles Of Executive favor, in the chilly regions
Of opposition. Let them be but honest and hon.
orahIe men, and we care not who may be the in
cumbents of the public appointments in your gift.
We would encourage, too, rather than deprecae
the most searching scrutiny which any suspicious
may DESIRE into any Of the details of executive adj
minisuation throughout the whole extent Of its
widely lamifed action. Whatever abuses may
have existed, if any, naturally incident to a pro.
loTged possession OF executive Office, let them be
fully explored by the jealous vigilence OF new in.
cumbeuts. Whatever useful reforms may be sug
gested from any quarter, let them be frankly met
and gladly adopted. Every such detection of an
abuse, every such suggestion Of & REFORM is a com
mon public benefit; and no party has an equal
interest in the purity Of administration with that
Of the Democracy. Let the new brooms sweep
as clean as they can. This has always been one
of the chief subjects of clanor by the opposition
against the two late administrations and in the
same spirit in which, when supporting those ad,
minislraons, we denied the general truth Of those
violent and random charges, we are perfectly viii.
ling now, ourselves IN opposition, if be but fair.
Iy and honorahIy conducted, to court the widest
latitude Of investigation into them ALL Reduce
the action Of the executive branch as much as you
choose purify it, If you can. In every step you
may take in such direction, if you can find any
to take, will answer for it that the democracy Of
the country will go with you heart and hand.

PUBLIC FAITH-BANk-HEPUBLI
CANiSM.

We were struck with the carncstncss and
cioquencc with which Mr. Clay, of KY, a
few days since indicated the public faith
against the vandal spirit Of I.oco-iocoism:
and, referring to the speech made in the
Senate by Mr.. TYLER. in 1899, against the
removal Of the depostes from the United
States Bank. VIC were also reminded that
the public faith found Il sincere friend in
him. Abiding to the consequences Of the
act of the Secretary Of the Treasury, in re-
moving the depositcs, Mr., Tyler said:
"Has he given greater stability to public credit?
That can only be done by rigid adherence to

which he has entered for valuable considerations
all confidence is lost in him by the public; so it
is with Governments, in a more especial manner
PUBLIC FAITH is the very breath OF their noslrils
public credit rests on public faith, and confidence
in the fidelity in which a Government iulflS its
contracts, is the eblood that nourshes and sus-
tans its credit. Sir, that confidence is as scns
tive as the spider in his web to every passing gale;
the breath Of suspicion agates it, and the hand Of
violence destroys it.
In another part of this speech, Mr.. TY-
LER, thus alluded to the necessity of settling
the Bank controversy in one way or the
other.
"This contest has continued long enough; its
agitation has never failed 10 produce disastrous re.

Perhaps no man knew better-certainly
no one was entitled to know better the
opinions of the late President in relation
to the extent of the Constitutional power
of Congress to make bank, than the emil

Remarks Of NVr. Rivcs,

EkCEndRAs VA VIZ EhANCS,
On the amendment, proposed by Mr.. Clay,
TO the Bank BIZ, on the 27th July, ls41.
Mr.. RINES said it would be matter of
sincere satisfaction to him. if he could find
il at all practicable, consistently with the
principles he had invariably held and frank
iv avowed on this floor, TO assent to the
proposition made by the Senator from
Kentucky.
The honorable Senator has told us that
this proposition has been offered in spirit
of compromise and cancellation. | do all
honor, said Mr.. r., to that spirit on every
occasion, and particularly when manifested
by the Senator from Kentucky. But ]
think he must perceive, that in regard to
those who stand in the position, in which !
stand in reference to this question, there Is
nothing Of compromise, nothing OF conccs-
sion in this amendment. What was the
principle avowed in the project of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, which he, Mr.. f.,
submitted to the Senate as an amendment
to the bill reported by the Senator! 1t was
the absolute and unqualified assent OF the
States, as condition precedent to the cs-

THE HECATOMB.

| "This hecatomb Of victims who were struck down
during General Harrison's illness, many of whose
families now turned out in sort of orphanage on
the world must have been made in the spirit of heather
times when sacrifices of unfortunate prisoners by
tom attended the fall Of an ustrious chief GLOBE.
This passage refers to some half dozen changes
more or less, made in all the Departments in the
course of last week-a sad "hecatomb of VIC
TINS" indeed, if we contemplate the compare
tive energy, promptitude, and wholesale opera
tons of General Jackson. During the first week
of his first term, Isaac Hill who has lately fallen
"victim," brought to General Jackson 2S or
SO names-we forget which-of Postmasters in
New Hampshire, every one of which was strick-
en- from the Blue Book, at the bidding of this
worthy, in one half hour Not one exception
made, no inquiry instituted, no reason given,
but, she is not our man" Another gentleman
from Indiana brought in his pocket list of SO
names, all of which shared the same fate in
the land, when g Old Hickory took the broom,
and they have had il pretty much TO themselves
ever since.

spirit of heather times when the sacrifices Of
unfortunate prisoners, by custom attended the

chief
IL the present Administration are ambitious TO
rival these examples, there is wide scope before
them, and they must shear hand" with an
energy, of which, as yet, we have had but slen.
der earnest. General Jackson took off their
heads by scores, and would have despised the
slow and small work Of which the Globe has the
impudence to complain.
The Globe, we presume, though somewhat
tender for present disresses, falling Immediately
under its eye, has no tears for the "orphans"
made so long ago, and but little commsscration
for the defamation of the "Old Chief II is
the lawyers bull that has gored the farmers OK
It's pleasant however, to observe, that times
have improved, and that there is more conscience
in these days. "Hccatombs of victims" though
there be, they are not so frightful as in former

their maces, &c. This patriotic body did not
arrive in time to go into the Presidents Mansion,
but the moment their arrival was known, Mar
shal was despatched to assign them position in
the processlon.)
The heads of Bureaux, and their clerks, APP
peared also, forming very considerable body
in point Of numbers. There were also a number
ofthe officers and soldiers who served under the
command Of General Harnsol during the last
war, whose names we did not learn. There
were also the corporate authorities of the several
cities of the District The Enosinian Society
of Columbian College, together with the Medi-
cal Department and Preparatory School. The
Columbia Typographical Association. The
Society of "Odd Fellows" with the handsome
banner Of alexandra Lodge, No. g." The
Catholic Total Abstinence Society, with its
auxiliaries, with medals and banners. There
may have been other associations whose names
we did not learn. The concourse Of citi-
zens and strangers from Baltimore, and the sur
rounding country, was large and respectable. All
moved in perfect ORDER harmony and decorum,
evincing at every step the solemn sadness of the
occasion, and betraying the sinserest affection
for the memory Of their late illustrous Chief
Magistrate.
Minute guns were firing, and the bells tolling
during the whole progress Of the Procession.
The windows and doors Of the dwellings along
the darkened avenues, were crowded with the
faces of ladies and children, all appearing to par
ticipate in the general sorrow. This metropolis
has never witnessed scene so solemn and i'm
posing
The procession extended nearly two miles,
reaching from the Capitol to the Presidents
House, in sections Of s to 30.
The Military formed into lines on the square
opposite the Congressional Burying Ground,
and only portion Of the procession entered the
yard. We observed at the tomb, beside the ia
mily, President Tyler and the Cabinet, the Fo-
reign Ministers, Ex-Presdent Adams, and seve-
raj of the late Cabinet After the service, con-
tinued in the Episcopal form, by Rev. Mr.. Haw-
ley, the corpse was deposited in the Public
Tomb, where it was followed for moment by
Colonels Todd and Chambers, the relatives,
President Tyler, the members of the Cabinet,
Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Forsyth, and others. These
last rites being over, the scene was closed by the
firing of cannon, and several voies of musketry
The immense throng then quietly dispersed, and
Federal Salute announced the setting of the
sun, and the closing ceremony Of the day. We
heard Of no indecorum-no serious accident.
