mated for the Presidency by tho Young
Mems National Convention assembled in
Washington. The following extract from
letter written by Mr.. FRELINeauysEN
at that time and published in the Newark
| Advertiser expresses his high estimation
of Mr.. CLAY, and conveys indeed no
Bile tribute TO the great statesman and or

Clay in his finest style of address. He
was brief, bat full of energy and ardor.

body OF the room filled with youia-fhe
