MR.. CLAY's RECEPTION IN
VICKSBURG.

The subjoined account of the reception OF
Mr.. Clay at Vicksburg. we extract from the
Wing of that place.
We re-publish it in full, as we are sure that
we can furnish our readers with nothing so
beautiful, as the eloquent address of Mr.. Prem

Amidst the turmoil and dis sention, the dis
cord and want Of harmony, which exist in the
opposite party, it is truly gratifying to observe
the unanimity which prevails among the friends
of Mr. Clay.
Their attachment and reliance in him seems
daily TO acquire new strength, and they grow
more firm and determined in their support of
him.
No party wrangIngs no factious jealousies
mark their course, or disturb their peace, but
united Ike band o; brothers in support Of the
noble statesman, whose measures and policy,
they are confident would bring relief and pros
perity to their conntry. with undivided conf
dence, they commit to him their political desti.

Whilst domestic creditors are prevented
from collecting their debts. the Federal courts
are open to the foreign creditors, to prosecute
their rights with the utmost rigor.
