Henry CLAY.

At public meeting held by the citizens of
Lexington and Fayette county, the personal
friends and near neighbors of Mr.. Clay, a
resolution was adopted in viting that pre-em-
inent statesman and unfinching patriot to
partake of an entertainment with them,
which was intended as testimony of the
qualification and pride they had experienced
when viewing and contemplating the MANY
noble acts of Kentucky's Senator during the
long period of his faithful servitude in the
councils of the nation. This resolution of
invitation was sent TO Mr.. Clay almost i'm.
mediately on his arrival at Ashland from the
city of Washington. Those who knew him
the most intimately from the proximity of
their homes to the home of Henry Clay, were
the first TO manifest their gratitude for his
past services, and not only to extend 20 him
the open palm of friendship, but to warmly
welcome him with the loud voice of approba-
ton. After all the abuse and ISLANDERS heap
ed upon him by his political enemies, for the
purpose of damning his political career
stamping intamy upon his Understanding
drear and desolate retirement's fre-side-
embittering the closing years of life, and then
robbing the final hours of mortality of that
calm resignation so essentially necessary in
the dread hour of death,--oh, what balm
to heal the wounds of calumny must be the
warm-hearted welcome of his ne,gh6ors-his
triends-his family.
The invitation contained in the resolution
alluded to above elected from Henry CLAW
letter in reply, couched in that frank and
lpure spiritOf patriotic language that has evel
Characterised his writings and Oratory. B,
reference TO this letter (which we annex &
this article) it will be seen that the retired
Senator is not now candidate for the mex
Presidency, nor is it his intention to becom,

PaYment for Advertising.


We regret that we are obliged again to
direct the attention Of persons advertising in
our columns to the TERMS established relative
20 legal and other advertisements and the
time at which payment is to be made. By
reference to these it will be seen that pay
Inent in all cases is required IN ADVANCE. We
have been indulgent heretofore, and de-
pended too much on the honor of mankind.
The reed, ever a weak one, is now COM
pletely broken and we trust no longer to it
for support. Advertisements handed in or
those sent to US must in future be accompa-
MED with the requisite amount of money, or
they will not be admitted in UT columrs.-
Promises to pay will not suffice, we have lost
hundreds of dollars by them and the times
are now too hard to increase the number of
outstanding bad debts. Administrators No
tees are frequently sent to the Office without
money. Hereafter, all sent in like manner
will not be published. Send with them the
amount required Oy ouI terms and they shall
be punctually attended to-not OtherWise.-
The same mode of proceeding, in fact, will
be adopted towards advertisements of evers
description. Necessity compeIs US to 1t.

YazOO Circuit Court.

The Circuit Court of this county closed its SEES
sion Of four weeks on Saturday evening last. -
The Hon. MORGAN L FrTcH presiding the first two
weeks Of the term, and the Hon JOIN H RAwLNGs
the two last. For the first time in several years.
the last cause on the docket was called, and on
the last day of the term his Honor called on each
member Of the bar, separately, and asked them If
they wished to take any other or further orders be-
fore the Court adjourned The general response
was, they had none other to take. There yet re-
mains, however, many litigated causes on the
docket undisposed Of We have seldom seen
causes 90 ably contested in any courts, and never
before in this State. Every inch of ground was
disputed, and volume after volume referred to for
thePurPOse Of supporting the various positions ia
ken by counsel on either side At times the court
room appeared more like we'll stored library
than Hall ofJustice Questions of almost every
kind known to the sages of the law, arose and
were discussed and decided; we have but little
doubt correctly, for though the bench appearing
familiar with every branch of the law, yet in most
of the causes that we heard, when counsel closed
their arguments, they left scarce any to ques-
ton.

-7sn the criminal side Of the docket but two cau-'
seS Of any importance were tried. The first of
these was charge Of larcency made against Hal
lalia odum, school-master, for taking and carry
ing away q trunk from the tavern of S. Swisher
On trial there were many witnesses examined on
the part Of the prosecution; but no positive evi-
dence was adduced of the taking and carrying a.
way, or Of the prisoner ever having had the trunk
in his possession; but there was strong chain Of
,circumstantal evidence to prove the taking.-To
rebut this, the prisoners counsel introduced sew
erul highly respectable gentlemen who testified
tina: the prisoner had up to the time Of this accu-
sation, sustained a good moral character. The
prosecution was conducted by r G Perry, District
Attorney; assisted BY VIM 2 Pugh, esq.-The

resumption Of specie payments BY the Ne"
Orleans' BankSy-itS effects
At length after a continued suspension O
FIVE years-(with the exception Of part O
the year I8S9)-the New Orleans banAS
have all resumed specie payments except lne
Eve in liquidation, whose notes have not TOT
some time past constituted any part Of 1ne
money circulation Of this State. A more Ia
vorable time, we think, could not have been
selected BY the Banks 10 consummate mea-
sure SO long deferred-sO long talked Of-the
subject Of so much legislation, and measure
so loudly demanded by every principle OF
policy and good faith; and, as they are doubt
less supplied with both foreign and domestic
exchange sufficient to meet the demands OF
trade, we do not anticipate any extraordina-
ry demand for specie, By resuming before
the period fixed by the legislature, the con-
fdence ofthe public will be strengthened in
their ability and intention to continue specie
payments.-Many Of their notes in circula-
ton in this partOf the country are post notes
payable the 5th Of December next. All notes
of this description, the Banks are ready and
willing at the present time, as we have been
informed, to redeem with specie.
The New Orleans Banks now supply US in
a great measure with a sound currency, that
is, with paper that can be readily converted
into gold or silver at the pleasure Of its hold.
Ter, and we are now satisfied that, although
Mississippi was the FIRST State to feel thc
pressure, although she felt it more deepl.
} than any other State in the Union ,-she viii
be the first to recover from her embarass
ments, both commercial and agricultural
and, we think, in two or three years, witt
fair average crops, will be almost, if not en-
tirely free from debt.-Of course there ar,
many debts that will be cancelled by the op
: Grafton Of the Bankrupt Law. Of these W,
s have nothing to say farther than that the.
: never could, in all probability have been pai
: in any other way, and it is far better both fc
debtors and creditors that these debts shout
be thus cancelled than that unfortunate {
