TIE 10Y. HENRY CLAY.

desperate faction, which would subyert cy.

In spite Of party venom aud maligniiy, in

stand enblazored on the pages Of history,
a monument Of human greatness and patd-
olic devotion TO the cause of his country.
When the neia5ry Of the poor reptiles that
crawl aud bcsmcar his path with their slime
is no more, he will shine in all tho splendoE
Of true grealnfas.
Before the last Declaration Of War T.
gnimt England, when the British Lion -
swept ossr the seas trlumpbantly, and biz
adcep-mon,hedn cannon rovorberated from
one extremity Of the globe to tho other,
Henry Clay stood n the legislative ball Of
the nation, and urged upon Congress with
burning eioquence the necessity Of q Dec
larRtion Of War against that arrogant AMI
iasoEenl power, Through hts influence IN

declaration. When sen, as Minister Pleu-

the Union vas upon the eve Of a mighty

Again, when the country under misruie and
corruption, has sunk % a state Of imeNam,

The debt Of gratitude, due this illusirious
Statesman aud Patriot by the American
People is immense. If the present gene

will oyorshadow the fragile fabrics reared
over those pseudo statesmen whose waning
