prefaccd by the Pre-idcIt of the day with some
| happy and eloquent remarks. Mr. CLAY rose IN
re- ponse and for more than two hours, unclaimed
that audience by the exercise OF tbose mighty
power. of oratory with which he is emlnently
gifted. With an peculiar TO himself, he sway
ed the feelings of hi. auditory at will-at one time
conyulsed with laughter, again filled with lndigna'
ton, and anon the gli,enng tear betrayed the deep
| emotions of the heart. But il needs not that We
should attempt description OF the eloquence OF
such man,-to say that HENRY CLAY spoke,
