when he was four or FIVE years old.
Whatever it be, therefore, in which this
consciousness Of identity resides, it can
not consist OF a meterial substance, since

an ethereal spirit, and as il remains the

HENRY CLAY.

Truth, soul and justice are embodied in
the following beautiful remarks Of the
Hartford Courant:--Natchez Courier.
If humanity present noble and sub
lime spectacle, il is when pure and lof-
ty patriot, regardless of self, and devoted
to the good of the country, even in the
midst Of calumny and reproach pursues
the path Of duty, and patiently awaits the
approval which time must at length bring.
The retirement of such man has great
er power than all the seductive patron

Gus, and the evil minded, may attempt 10
purchase mercenary support. While
crowds impelled by curiosity may throng
to gaze idly on the man of the hour
the man of the age, in his far off western
home, with no other attraction than his
mighty genius, and his lofty SQUIRE
ceives the homage of millions OF hearts.
His single name has a charm more po-
tent than all the gilded honors with which
monarchs and presidents may reward
their fatterers. Henry CLAY! On what
far distant moUntain--in what deep tor

broad land is that name unknown and un-

What stain of reproach--what suspl-

nent who dare assail his honors While
magnanimity, and courage, and truth
are admired among men-whlle false

1t is we'll known that Gov. Porter has

for or against Mr.. Buchanan, and that

but did not commit himself to either for
the Presidency. He showed no hostility

he has been denounced by his opponents

LAFAYETTE AND HENRY CLAY.

We find the subioined statement in the
Frankfort (Ky.) Commonwealth, Of the
18th ultimo. The truth of the statement
is undoubted. Matches Courier.
We have just come in possession Of an
anecdote in manner which enables us to
say that it is perfectly authentic. An Off
Ger Of the United States Navy, being in
the city Of Paris in the fall of 1882, was
invited by Gen. Lafayette to visit him at
Lagrange, his country seat. The invita-
ton was accepted and the officer of course
enjoyed in the highest degree the elegant
and hearty hospitality which The noble
old veteran always displayed, especially
TO Americans. During the three days
which the American naval officer spent at
Lagrange, much conversation was had on
the affairs and the prominent men sf the
United States. OF such topics the name
of Henry Clay could not but be conspic-
uous one; and the General found that his
CUES. was not only a political admirer but
a personal acquaintance and friend of
that great American statesman. The
General, therefore, was not constrained,
as the sequel viii show, by the delicacy
due to the feelings of one of whose senti-
meats he was ignorant, to conceal his own
sincere sentiments Of Mr.. Clay. The
American officer set out at four or five ir
the morning in diligence for Paris. Not
expecting to find the war-worn soldier
stirring at so early an hour, he was leav-
ing without a formal farewel.-As he was
crossing the court, however, Geo. Wash
ington Lafayette, the son Of the General,
followed him and told him his father desi-
red to see him. He was introduced into
the Generals study, where, by the light
Of candles, he was employing his pen.
Pressing his guest in vain to remain lon
ger, the General said: "Before you leave
me, want to show you our friend;" and
leading me into another room, he exhibit
ted portrait of Mr.. Clay. "Slr," said
the General, "that is the man whom !
hope TO see President ofthe United States. "
The incident was happy one, and pro
duced lasting impression on the mlnd Of
the officer. The bosom companion OF
Washington, his comrade in arms IN the
glorious revolution, feeling the deepest IN
terest in the welfare Of the United States,i
and well acquainted with their policy,
their institutions and their great men, La
fayette, with the wisdom of the father OF
his country, pointed Out the man fit and
worthy to stand atthe head of his gov
eminent. But his sainted spirit will look
do wn in AS and rejoice in the consumma-
ton of his hopes, which heaven, lmpa-
lient to claim one Of his first born, denied
him while in the flesh.

! MoRE CoALlrIoNs!--The United States
Gazetts, in its revelations touching the
good understanding between Messrs. van
buren, and Spencer, stated, among other
strange and improbable things, that the
Porters would, by and by, became Van
Burenites. Such thing was regarded
with universal incredibly; for the Van
Buren, presses in Pennsylvania had been
par ticular abusive of Governor Porter
and his whole family--charglng hlm win
every crime-except murder, which
could disgrace humanity. The Globe,

with innumerable variations. According
to it, the penitentiary was entirely too

amiable brother, the Secretary OF War!

Saratoga, and while on his way--moral

Van Buren, to visit him at 'sLindenwoid,"

result Of this strange visit is told by the
