The reader has now a brief and meagre
ketch. mere skeleton of the IN Isl COR
yeous pageant ever known in the Gunner
:ial Emporium of the Grea, South West.
We feel that we are wholly inrapabla of
any thing like correct view If
this great and enthusiastic ouipourng of
The entire population of whole C iy. and
we would fain con6de the duty to ADLER
hands. But from the moment the prnces-
son moved from The landing, up to The
lime that Mr.. Clay was sci down at his
'dgIngs, the route presented scene that
is rarely witnessed in any ordinary life
time. Every street through which the
passed, was crowded to suffOca-
ion, literally crammed and choked up
with a dense mass of people anxious to do
lnnor TO the talents, genius and patriotism
IF one whose name and fame is part and
parcel of the common glory of the country.
Every window and balcony within range
IF the route of Mr.. Clay, was filed with
he beauty Of New Orleans, and thousands
Of the lovely maids and matrons of the
city showered, with their smiles, blessings
and henedicli,ns upon him whom whole
people delight to honor.
When Mr. Clay was set down at his
odgings, CarondoIet street was for anhour
| dense and moving mass of people, and
t was not until he appeared again and
gain upon the balcony, that the crowd
we're satisfied to disperse, which they finally
lid by greeting the sold man eloquent"
With loud and oft repeated cheers.
We have not now time or room to say
more, and many incidents connected with
he reception must be deferred TO another
lay. The whole was worthy of Henry
Clay, worthy Of New Orleans. and resem-
ling more the triumphant entry of some
warrior of old, than the advent
# plain private citizen of the United
States, who, without office, patronage or
power, comes among us with nothing save
lis own sterling virtues, great talents and
lndoubted patriotism, TO win the hearts of
lis countrymen. 1t was indeed specta-
lie of moral grandeur which will not on
ade from the memories Of those who wit
essed it.
The Crescent City, in its account of the
eception, says:
at is believed that full fifty thousand
ersons were on the levee, at the time of
he landing of Kentucky's favorite son, and
