From Me New Orleans Tropic Feb, 10.
DIp,KlIIRE nE MIR CiAy

At 10 O'Clock this morning, Mr.. Clay
bids adieu to New Orleans. He leaves
on the steamboat Diamond, upon which
he proceeds u short distance up the river,
to the residence of Col. John Preston,
where he will remain for a short time, un-
I'll the Ambassador passes up, when he
will proceed to Vicksburg. For nearly
Two months Mr.. Clay has been the guest
of the city, the recipient of It's hospitality,
and we are sure that none of our citizens
can witness his departure without feel
ing of regret. When he leaves US, in all
probability, forever. But be this MS it
may, he carries with him the best wishes
Of this entire community, and the sncer-
est prayers for his health and happiness.
To MIR. Clay, himself, the separation
from a city where he has been received
with so much kindness, we doubt not, is
peculiarly painful. That he will ever re-
member with pleasure his visit to the
great metropolis of the South, we are al
ready sufficiently assured.

ton, are there. A is plain as truth al
ways is, and simple, as true greatness
must ever be.
There was no oratorica display, and
yet did we never witness speech make
an impression upon great audience,
greatin numbers and in intelligence, more
profound or fiatterng to the speaker; and
we say this, who have heard Randolph,
and Tazewell, and Webster, and Clay!
Mr.. Leigh, when he sat down, had ac'
complshed all which public speaker
can ever desire. He had enlisted the au.
dience, in judgment and Imagination, fol
his cause, and their most enthusiastic ad.
miration and respect Tor himself.
How changed is Mr.. Leigh's style, al.
ways good, always classical and simple
But as he has grown older, he has dis
missed from it every thing extraneous-
every word that is not necessary to con
vey his meaning, and that in ihe simplest
manner, SO that all "who run may read. y
We remember him dashing and impetu.

ly so. an ambitious speaker. However,
little he diverged at any period, from the
laws of the severest taste, he has now
come back wholly to simplicity-the quail
ity without which, true superiority can
never exist.
Would that Virginia, through all her
borders, could have heard this simple yet
powerful address. The press can con.
vey most inadequate idea ofits quiet yet
profound impression.
