ktsThere is one remarkable iact, connected with
this subject well worthy Of serious confederation
Whilst railroad iron came to US free Of duty, the
price remained high in Great Britain In january

ton. In May, 40, after duty Of twenty per cent
had been impossible sunk to u sterling. or S5 per
ton and in August. ls4S, one year after the duty
OF $2S per ton had been imposed, it reached its
lowest price Of $s24 per ton, ct which the Fitch
burg company purchased. Do not these facts fur

Our railroad companies would then be compelled
to pay higher price for the article than they do at

amount Of the duties. We have been informed

CHARACTERISTICS OF Mr.. CLAY.
He % an honest man he is a fair dealing man;
he is true man he is man who believes in his
own principles, who follows his sentiments and
acts on them, who never deserted friend, who was
never deferred from his purpose, who never was
duced from what he undertook to do. He is man
OF faith--in the largest sense OF the word. Norman
has ever been more severely tried IN public life in
this country than Mr.. Clay has been-and no man
ever exhibited q more sublime manhood in all his
great and repeated exhibitions of this nobest Of all
qualities in public man--tyMst. sc0gthiness.--
There 10 mot on earth a single individual who
knows Mr.. Clay, that will not admit, that, il he
should be elected President of the United States he
will just set himself with earnesness and zeal to
administer the government according to his long
vowed and deliberate couvictionsof right He will
Go his best, he will do it thoroughly and he win dc
it upon the settled principles Of his life. t, f.s

county had made bet on the Presidential election
sometime since, and few days since the LocOfoce
called on the Wing. and wished to withdraw the

was going to vote for Clay himself The Wing Of

we obtained from one Of the parties. Detroit .Ado
A Like occurrence happened short time since In
