THE GREAT SPEECH OF HENRY CLAY

We have received by this mornings mail, by
the enterprise of our Baltimore correspondents a
copy OF the great speech Of HENRY CLAY at
the Barbecue given at Lexington, Ky, on the oh
of June. Ii is one of the abest and most power
full efforts of this great orator and Statesman. He
speaks first most eloquenty of Temperance, and
then gives a most interesting sketch OF his early
life and his whole political career. The great Or
alor then proceeds 10 survey oftho political con-
dition of the country traces all its fortunes through
the Administration of John Quincy Adams, and
exposes the source of all our present financial diff
ficulties. He then suggests remedies for all these
disorders lie reviews the conduct of President
Tyler at length and speaks Oft with perfect plain
ness and with great severity. He speaks of the
Rhode Island Rebellion al some length, and con-
cludes by most eloquent appeal TO the citizens of
the Union TO men of all parties to rally around
the glorious banner of our country. We quote
the following concluding appeal to the Wings
"Whigs arouse from The ignsble supineness
which encompasses you--awake from The lethnr-
Nv in which you lie bound go cast from you thai I'M
worthy apathy which seems to make you indtfer-
ent TO the fate Of your counTy-arouse, awake,
shake off the dew-drops that glitter on your gar
ments, and once more march 10 battle and 10 vic
tory. You have been disappointed deceived, be-
tray ed-shatnefully deceived and betrayed. But
will YOU therefore also prove false and iallhless TO
your country, or obey the impulses OF q Just and
patriotic indignation? As for Captain Tyler, he
is a mere snap-a flash in the pan pick your
| Mig flints and try your rifles again."
| This speech is very long, and is decidedly one
of the greatest he has ever made. Ii will be read
with the deepest interest by every man in the ma
| ,ion.- Tribune.

r5-S Samuel l.. Southland, the beloved and re-
spected Senator from the State OF New Jersey,
and late President OF the body Of which he had
long been n distinguished ornament, is no more.
Our forebOdings OF the fatal termination Of the
illness under which he had long suffered have
been realized. He died at Fredericksburg, in Vlr
ginia, in the midst of his friends, and surrounded
by all the members Of his family, Oh Sunday last
at about 10 o'clock in the morning.
We shall not dim the deserved euogy bestowed
upon his memory in the annunciaton to the Sen
ate OF their loss, by any attempt on our own part
to do justice to the various merits ofhe deceased.
He was, to our personal knowledge, with few O.
quals i'll all the relations Of son. husband and father;
and he was, of all things, as true friend as ever
breathed. As a citizen he ever enjoyed The high
est estimation and his abilities are best proved
ny the elevated stations TO which they have induc-
ed his iellow-cltlZens successfully to call him.
The age of Mr. Southard was about So years.
He must have been generally thought to be much
older, young for his country did lie attain high
reputation, and early did that reputation bring
him INTO the Public Councils. He was chosen to
be Chief Justice of his own State as early as at
twenty eight years of age He became Senator
of the United States in the year 1921 and in the
year 1923 he was appointed by President Monroe
to the highly responsible ost of Secretary of the
Navy, the duties Of which he discharged with pre-
eminent ability up TO the close of the Admnstra
ton Of Mr.. Adams. In tho year 1888 he again
took his seat as Senator from his ngtive State,
and had even since, up to the moment of his last
illness, faithfully discharged the dnlies of that
honorable station.-.Ndt. Intel

And this is but a specimen. AS the influx of for
eign woolens has embarrassed our wooden manu-
features, and carried whitening influence to the
wool-grower, so has it been with other branches
of American Industry aud the consequences
have now fallen upon all connected with them,
until there is hardly one who can say that he has
remained untouched. Who are responsible for this
the greatest cause, of our present condition? Ii
was locofocoism which promised us "iudicious
Tarif"-which forced from us a reluctant Assem-,
to the compromise act, and which, now-when
the Wings are striving to remove this source of
immeasurable evil-resist us at every step. They
fixed the curse upon the country; they will not
permit the Wings to remove it-and let them bear
the responsibility if they succeed in their OPPOSE
ton.

Mr. Hall, not content with assailing me personally,

For the purpose, suppose, of making manifest
the validity Of the Virginia bounty land claims he
venured sheer at the revolutionary history Of
Vermont Where was Vermont at this period?
he inquired and then went on to say that her
people are few, that her territory was claimed by
the surrounding Snes, that her constitution was
formed under an alias, she calling herself AT that
time Vermont alias New Connecticut. Well Sir
admit that Vermont, at that period was weak in
numbers; but she was strong in the Justice of her
cause, in nerve, and in patriotism. With a popu-
lation at the commencement of the war of less
than twenty thousand, and at its close not more
than thirty thousand, her territory claimed by the
adjoining States, herseia frontier against the com.
mon enemy, and almost too young, as the gentle
man niimates, TO have name, she nevertheless
taught all her foes

Yet she could speak and go alone"

independence a State and established, aud has
hitherto continued in healthy and vigorous action,

other on the lace Of the globe

revolutionary history of my native State, it would
be my pride and pleasure to do so. But am n
wule that it is not. | must, however, he allowed

Mountain boys whenever an enemy appeared
were always found foremost in the attack, last in
retreat. In l775, Vermont sent regiment to
Canada, whose exploits nj the Cellars and else
where in that province, history has recorded. In
l776 when The Continental Army was formed
Vermont furnished regiment, which, under Col
