HEsPY CLAY-AN EXAMPLE THAT FEW MEN
Will FoLLow.-A near relative OF Mr. Clay Ie-
siding in his vicinity, who has been Largely enss-
red in the purchase and manufacture of hemp tor
baggine and bale-repe for the New Orleans mar
ler bv the fall in value and the embarrassments
of the times which have been felt with prodigious
force for a wear past in the great southwestern
Emporium, was lately compelled 10 make an as $
sionnea of his property trustees for the beneht
of all his creditors. The whole amount OF ms ma
bities was near $50 900, about enc half of which
was due to Mr.. Clay for advances to enable the
manufacturer TO prosecute his business, So advan-
nf
the hope of an improvement in the condition OF
things so that suspension OF the work ana OF Tue
payment might be avoided.
The sale of the property took place about a
fortright ago and as usual in such cases attracted
several hundred persons, and among them many
sf the creditors Mr. Clay then told them IN SUD.
stance thst the assignment was for the benefit OF
all the creditors, himself fincluded-thatthe amount
due him was as large as all the other claims COM
bined-that from the relationship in which ne
stood TO the debtor, it was probable some, and
perhaps many of the creditors, had become such
under the expectation that if difficulty occurred,
he. Mr.. Clay, would protect them-that although
there was no ground whatever for asking MN TO
do 40. vet rather than that any man should think
he had the the slightest reason to complain OF hin'
and in order farther that every debt due to others
should be paid, he now released all interest under
the assignment until every dollar duet to others was
paid, and then if any thing was LETT he would take
it. The sale was made-,he other creditors were
all paid, and what little remained was all Mr.. Clay
got for his $25, ,O00
How different this from the ordinary course,
when Mr.. Clay, being the confidential creditor,
would have been first paid. and in this case the
only one paid, and who but Henry Clay could be
found, under such circumstances to reject the
| whole or at any rate his share of the proceeds.
