"Mr. Clay proceeded to remark, that

course gave guaranty of uprighiness
and honesty. That he never expected
a mans opinions 10 conform altogether
to his own, any more than in selecting a
wife. land here he turned playfully to the
ladies', sutton can expect his lady love
To be free from all possible defects. She
might have mole here. or want dilnple
there; be too fair, or too dark. ALL these

his heartfelt thanks, his deep sense Of
gratitude, for the kindness shown him.
Long, said lie, may all now befnre me
live to enjoy the fullest measure Of pros
peri,y and happiness"
