INTERESTING-NEXT WEEK.

The detention of all the eastern mails,
for week past, until yesterday morning, has
rendered it impracticable, after the great
est exertion, to crowd tythe of what we
would desire into our columns to-day.
Every ,ohere, on land and on water, all
classes, conditions and creeds of men have
seemed to vie with each other in render
ing the most exemplary honors to the menu
DRY and services of the distinguished Pa
triot--no longer soldier or Magistrate,
but an American, and cherished as such by
all who themselves deserve the name.
We shall fill our paper next week, to
the exclusion of almost every thing else,
with the ennobling detals-and if, beyond
the precincts of the souless and selfish ca
bal here, who aspire to rule and govern
the noble hearted democracy of Missouri
there be reader who does not feel his own
patriotism expand, as he ponders upon the
sequel of that Borrowing justice" which
has at last settled upon the feelings of a
whole nation, we shall not envy the heart
of such man.

U CL1QuE-CLIoK.-Supposing that
the merits of the Fayette Clique would be
considerably discussed about this time, and
having heard one of that very patriotic fra
ternity himself pronounce it clique, we
have looked again into our Webster and
find it to contain but one syllable-as above.
A "clique" that aspires to--direct the whole
democracy of the State ought to know how
to pronounce right, even if they should not
stand at the head of their class in spelling.
p. S. One of the leading men of the
clique always puts short ~ in his pronun-
citation of Democrat"

not ono of them has died during bis Presidency
except the last lie had been in Office but one
short month, from the 4th Of March to the 4th Of
April when he breqthed his last, amid his prayers
for the success Of the true principles of the Con-
stitution. The four Virginia Presidents who were
living in Virginia, (a serving out their eight
'eyears) survived till the end of their terms, but
now are all no more. Three of the others are still
living.
1t is more wonderful. indeed, that more of them
have not persisted in office, than that Gen. Harrison
should be the first to die. The regret at his death
comes, perhaps, with more awful fore, on account
Of its singularity.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

When the Chief Magistrate Of State or Ma
ton dies, it is mete and proper that the people
over whom he was chosen to preside should suit
ably manifest sense OF the loss sustained. Up.
on such occasions the politician is lost in the
Magistrate. politics yield to national sensibility
and to the feelings Of humanity. We recolect
that we are but DUST and that to dust we must
all soon return.
Believing that these sentiments are universally
felt by the members of the Democratic party Of
St, Louis, We trust the measures about to be
taken, in this city, to express proper sense Of
feeling upon the death Of the President Of the
United States, will be of that high noble, and
anti bipartisan character that will permit all classes
OF citizens to unite in such ceremonies as may be
deemed suitable to the occasion.
