livered by Mr.. Clay In the House Of Represents

nell We rccollect this speech perfectly, and that
it made great.noise at the time. Here is the ex-
| tract:-
"He (O'Connell) would exclude us slave holders,)
from European socety-he who himself can only obtain
contraband admission and is received with soornfa
pugnance into it, If he be not more DESTROYS Of our soci
ETY. than Of his he rest assured that state Of
eternal non-inercourse will exist between u.s. Yes sir
think the American minister would best have pursued the
member Of the British House Of Commons the malig.
nant punderer Of his country and the libeller Of
foreign and kindred people"
This opinion Of Mr.. Clay was pronounced when
O'Connell first came out denouncing all the south
ern and southwest portions of this country, where
slavery happened to exist. 1t was in the year 1888,
if we recollect the date distinctly. when the con-
troversy arose between O'Connell and Mr.. Ste
venson, then our Minister at the Court Of St.
James. O'Connell then denounced Mr.. Stevenson,
and all Americans, as slave breeders, villains,
and what not. Immediately after these violent
invecves were made known in this country,
Mr.. Clay pronounced the very just opinion on
O'Connell (which we have just given. Mr.
O'Connell has received rent" enough from the
poor Irish people of his own country and has given
very little in return for they are just in
the same condition as they were at the beginning
| of the century when the agitation commenced
Ireland is i'll under the hoof of the oppressor. Her
wretched people are still in the condition Of
abect poverty and degradation, while he, the hire
ling hypocrtica patriot, has been living in princely
| magnifcence, and even in Richmond Penltentiary
keeps up that style Of almost vic .-regal splendor
and luxury which the misdirected feelings of his
poor countrymen have furnished him the means
to sustain for many years past Mr.. Clay is per-
fecly right in the rebuke which he administered to
O'Connell forl his virulence against the United
States.
Boston GLEE CLuB-Wma MEETING AT THE Ma
rIoNAL HALL.-ThereCwas a goodly muster OF the
wing party, old and young, at the National Hall,
Canal street, last evening, for the purpose Of hear
ing the Boston Glee Club. Shortly after O'Clock,
R. G. Hancc was called to the chair, and after
few observations, introduced the gentlemen of the
Boston Glee Club to the meeting. These parties
then favored the meeting with the glee, " Hail to
the Chieftain," which was received with most ire
mendous applause. This was succeeded by Here's
to thee, Harry Clay" followed by the catch, " Old
Harry Clay" It was then announced that DR..
Bacon was in the room, who had just returned from
tour through the western part of this State, for
eectioneering purposes, and no doubt would favor
the company with brief sketch Of the prospects
of the party in those parts At the request of the
chairman, that gentleman came forward, and said
that he was not prepared to make speech on the
subject just then, but would tell them, that from all
he had heard and seen throughout his journey, their
prospect was highly acknowledgement more so
than ever it was IN 1910; and that at the present
time they were full three months ahead in prospect
Of what they were at the same time in that year.
The speaker then went on to show how many
meetings had been held in school rooms and
churches, and how many mass meetings, where

OF six hours at time to matter-of-fact, dry,
detail speeches, in favor Of Henry Clay and
Wing principles, and even then was loath to sepa-

of 1928; in another, they termed it the bloodywhig

to do with the questions at present at issue.

every one should not only put his shoulder to the
wheel, but keep it there until the great and good
work was accomplished. The gentleman then IL

anecdotes similar to the former, which were as
we'll received, and he sat down amid considerable

gentlemen of the Glee Club for their services which
