CLAY.
1t is equally impossible to forget, or 10 omit,
gentleman from Kentucky whom party has
! since made the fruitful topic of unmeasured
panegyric and detroction. OF sanguine tenn
perament, and impetuous character, his decla-
nation was asimpassioned, his rctorts acrimonious.
! Deficient in refinement, rather than in strength,
his style was less elegant and correct, than an
mated and impressive. But it swept away your
| feelings with it, like a mountain torrent, and
the force the stream left you little leisure to
remark upon its clcprness. His estimate ofhu-
man nature was, probably, not very high. 1t
may be that his past associations had not tend
ed to exalt it. Unhappy, it is, perhaps more
! likely to have been lowered than raised by his
subsequent experience. Yet then, and ever
since, except when that mprudence, so natural
to genius, prevailed over his better judgement,
he had, generally, the good sense, or good taste,
10 adopt lofty tone of sentiment, whether he
| spoke of measures, or OF men, of friend, or ad-
versary. On many occasions he was noble and
captivating. One, can never forget. 1t was
the fine burst of indignant coquencc with
which he replied to the taunting question,

Nor may pass over in silence a representa-

EXCITING ORpINATIoN SCENE IN THE EpIs.
coPAL LCHrRCn.-EIeven young men were, or
Sunday, ordained at St. Stephens church, by
the Rev. Bishop Onderdonk. The service wa:
read by the Bishop. After he had concluded
the eleven candidates stood around the alter
when he announced, as is customary, that he
was about TO ordain them, and requested lha
; 1t there were any person or persons who had 4
; ny objections to make, or knew aught agains
: them, they would now announce the same. 4
moment ofsilence ensued, when the Rev. Iugl
: Smith (of ST. Peters, rose in the middle aisle
and stated that he had by letter yesterday in
formed the Bishop that he should protest agains
} the ordination of one of the candidates, Mr.. Ca
rey in consequence of his holding opinions favo
, rabe to Romanism; and he did now according
, y protest. When he sat down, the Rev. Mr.
, Anthon, of st. Marks church in this city, VIII,
5 had been sitting in the same pew with Mr.
. Smith, also rose, and in like manner protestet
r against the ordination of Mr.. Carey, for tn,
8 same reason.
Bishop Onderdonk stated that he had recei
we'd the objections of the Rev. gentleman, ant
! had in consequence appointed six competcn
: and worthy persons to examine into the charg
: which had been made against Mr.. Carey an,
: that they had unanimously reported to him tina
5 it was unfoundcd and that also was his owl
: conviction, and that lac should proceed to or
. dain all the candidates. lie then commence
!, reading the prayer, and during the ceremon
I Messrs Saith aud Anthon both arose and LEI
# the church.
:, II is supposed that the objections TO the OF
dinaton of Mr.. Carey arose from the idc
that he held an opinion similar to'those pre-
mugated in the celebrated Oxford Tracts an
's for which DR.. Pusey has been recently suspcr
ded ia Eng land. 1t is indeed a continuation
the same controversy which has divided the /
piscopal church on the other side of the Altar
Il tlc.-N. Y. Express.
