The Western Christian Advocate, one

Church, is published weekly ia Cincn-
Nu,i Its editor has recently visited Ken

his Journey, we extract the following, TO
us very interesting paragraph concerning
the great nsa cf the nation and his house
hold:

w, could scarcely visit Lexington with
out making some inquiry concerning Ash
land and It's proprietor, II happened that
our well tried friends, brother Bascom,
was the long AMI intimate friend OF Mr..
Clay. Their acqua niance was formed
when the former travelled Danville circuit
in 1916, who by his powerful eloquence,
cogent reasoning, ard overwhelming
Scrlptural authorities, gave dealh-blow
to the rife Arianism of that country, which
threatened to overrun Kentucky. Our
KIND host con~eyed us 40 Ashland; but
he proprietor was moi st home. On
hearing, however, OF our visit, we receiy-
81 most cordial invitation TO dine at
ASHLAND, of which we availed ourselves,
and spent three full hours in very plea.
SAINT chat with our kind entertainer, and
-nree more agreeable hours we never
tpenl in all our life. Mr.. Clay is sixty

Ills manners are as plain and republican as
they are gentlemanly and unaffected. The
moral principle, producing honesty and
conscientious fidelity to his trust, seemed

his mind, aud we believe governs his
hear.. He is now closely engaged in
his duties as a lawyer, and does no, for

- HIS house IS plain indeed, and his i'm
provements around it, consisting of grass
lawns, anI rows Of shade trees planted by
has owm hands, are in good taste, and in
complete keeping with his republican
principles and manner Of life And then,
Mrs. Clay is more than pattern--she is
all exact model for all The ladies' in the
land. She infinitely superin,ends all her
household affairs. Her little green house,
and collection Of flowers and shrubs, are
most tasty and we'll selected. But her

as showed, the other day, the suit which
bis mother purchased for him with the
ayails Of her butter. Whether her frs.
name be Lucretia or not, we cannot say;
but then VIC are sure she deserves it,
The topics of conversation were, moral
religious, and miscellaneous subjects; and
were glad to learn to our satisfaction,
that Mr. Clay was firm believer in the
Christian religion-that he read his bible
and attended, with his excellent lady and
family, the Protestant Episcopal Church

O. Connell's speech.
Touching O. Connell's abuse Of the
sIaveholding states, it is proper to say
that meetings of Irishmen have been held
in Baltimore, in Philadelphia, and in New
York, in all of which places they have
condemned him in unmeasured terms,
and pronounced his language false and
libellous.

THE "OLD REVOLUTIONERS."

One of the most interesting scenes at Bunker

ascent to the seats prepared for them, near the
orator. We have copied from the Boston Cour-
ier list of these venerable men, and their res
pectve ages, which we have great pleasure in
publishing. They were as follows

Rumors are rife, that the late Secretary
of State will take an early opportunity to
show that his attachment to the Wing
Party, and to Wing Principles, is unbro-
ken, notwithstanding what ha $ been sus-
pecled from his overriding adherence to
Mr.. Tyler's administration, We believe
there is no doubt that Mr.. Webster will

to be governor Of Massachusetts, and ex-

Temperance Celebration.

Active preparations are being made for
the meeting on Tuesday next The diff
ferent committees are performing their
duties with an activity and zeal, known
only among temperance men.
An excellent Band OF music is enga-
ged, which will add greatly to the spirit
of the occasion.
We expect there will be tremendous
turn out-such host of cold water La
dies and Gentlemen as to strike terror TO
the grogiles. stSee anothe, column

On Thursday morning we published
The follc wing extra which we insert TO-
day. for the information Of those who

Cecil Whig-Ertrd.
Eikton, Thursday Morning, June 90.
Having been all the week busily en-
gagged in making preparations for the ap-
preaching celebration, we have not been
able to issue a handful, as we promised
to do, at the request Of the Society; but
we this morning hasten to issue This lit
tie extra hoping it may supply any inlor-
nation that might have been contained
in the handful.
The meeting is to be held in grove on
the land of Frisby Henderson Esq, on the
bank of the Big Elk, and within few
hundred yards ofhis dwelling.
The ground will be approached by
carriages and horsemen, through his lane
at the East end of the town, and we re-
commend that all persons having horses
in charge, proceed thither as there is plen
ly of beautiful shady ground for hisching
and feeding. Mr., Davis who lives close
to the ground will be able to supply any
quantity of oats; consequently there will
be no necessity for stopping at taverns,
ana lanulords we suppose do not expect
to make much off of temperance men
when they come to temperance celebra-
ton.
The information the Society wished to
have conveyed in the handful, will be
found, we presume, in the above para
graph. All we have TO say in addition, is
to request a full turn out. We hope
the leading temperance men III the county
will interest themselves. We hope the
youth will come with their badges and
banners; we hope the ladies will be here
TO cheer US with their smiles-we hope
the aged will be with US to give their
countenance TO cause of such i'm
portance. Come one, come all
