number OF persons in attendance. Every av.
enue to the chamber was blocked up, and one
could hardly move TO the right hand or to the
left, in doors or out, 10 the galleries upon the
floor Of the Senate Chamber, without stumbling
over a bevy of ladies'. Bright eyes sparkled
every where, and in such profusion that one
could not turn in any direction without meeting
a sight always pleasant to look upon. 1t was
| noble audience, and as numerous as it was, it
was but half as numerous as it would have been
il the Senate had convened in place where
larger audience could have assembled.
Mr. Clay was well aware of the tribute paid
him in the presence of so many ladies'. Tine
gentlemen, for the most part, had been driven
from the walls Of the Senate Chamber, in the
exercise of that proper, natural, and proverbal
: gallantry which yields what is preferable or
T best to the ladies'. The speech which the ell.
oquent Senator had prepared, however, was not
intended for the most numerous part of the au-
dience. II was rather arithmetical than rhetor-
ical,-nore, in brief, sober subject, that re-

which would admit OF an ambitious display. A
word or two, however, was due to the ladies,
and Mr.. Clay was too gallant man to waive all
aliusion to the crowd OF admirers who lowered
round about him like many good angels ur-
gng him onward in the performance OF duty
Mr.. Clay, therefore, commenced with saying
that he did not come here, as if he were enter

sweet scented shrubbery, 10 Gull the tea roses,
japonicas, jasmine and woodbne, and weave
them into beautiful wrca;hcs to please the eyes,
and regale by their fragrance and flavor, the
senses Of the ladies'. With tho fowcry intro

Use Act, Mr.. Clay contends is not be interpreted
literally, although a matter of justice it is
proper to adhere to tie spirit of The act. So far
from being bound to the letter Of the act, Cong
