LETTER FROM MIR CLAY.

The blowing is an extract of letter from Hen
Try Clay, in answer one from citizens of Bat-
more inviting him to public entertainment which
he decined: '@iA Ap -oH
ffIi, gentlemen, all has not been accomplished t
the last session of Congress that the public interest
demanded, more, much more, has been effected
than anticipated at is commencement IF we
have been greatly disappointed in the failure of re-
peated attempts TO establish sound currency, reg
uate exchanges, and separate the Parse from tho
Sword, what American citizen, what Wing will on
that account, surrender himselfto the sentimen is
of an ignoble despair? Who will not say that we
will persevere, with redoubled courage until every
remaining object ofthe glorious revolution Of No.
vember last shalt be completely consumma ted?
Shall we be discouraged because one man presumes
to set up his individual will against the will of the
| ma zion? ,aeeHs u
On the contryry, let us superadd to the previous
duties which we lay under 10 our country, that oil
pluckng from the Constitution this sign of arbitra.
ry power; this odious but obsolete vestige Of Roya
prcrogative. Let US, by suitable amendment to
that instrument, declare that Veto-that parent &
fruitful Of all our public ills shall itself be
overruled by majorites in two Houses o Congress
They would persuade as that ii was harm Less be-
cause its oifice is preventative or conservatve!--
As ifa Nation might not be as much ini ured by
the ares. OF the enactment Of good laws as BY the
PRONUNCIATION OIL bad ones. h7a't

ing the astounding Developments recently made II
the Wing cause is not stronger than il ever was
Resting, as it does, upon truth, sound policy, and
enlightened patriotism, its votaries must be faIseSs

standing any temporary disappointment. t 81
