LETTER FROM MIR. CLAY.
To the Ediiore D.:
ASHLAND. September. %. 1874

ASHLAND, September, 90, 1874.
Gentlemen Since my nomination at Baltimore
in May last, by the Wing Convention as a candid
ate for the Office of President of the United States,
have received many letters propounding to me
questions on public affairs, and others may have
been addressed to me which never received. To
most Of those which have reached me have repli-
ed but to some have not, because either the SUBJ
ects of which they treated were such as that in re-
spect of them,my opinions, thought had been suf-
Efficiently promulgated or that they did not possess,
in my Judgment sufficient importance to require an
answer from me. | desire now to say to the public
through you, that considering the approach of
the Presidential Election shall henceforward re-
spectfuly decline to transmit kfor publication any
letters from me in answer to Inquiries upon public
matters.
After my nomination doubted the propriety, as
still do, Of answering any letters upon new ques-
tons of public policy. One who may be candid
ate for the Chief Magistracy of the Nation, If elect
ed ought to enter upon the discharge of the high
duties connected with that office with his mind o.
pen and uncommitted upon all new questions which
NAV arise in the course of his administration, and
ready to avail himself of all the lights which he
may derive from his Cabinet from Congress, and
above ALL from the public opinion
If, in adW ace, he should commit himself to in
dividuals who may think proper TO address him, he
may deprive the public and himself of the benefit
of those great guides Entertaining this view, it
was my intention, after my nomination, to decline
answering for publication all questions that might
be propounded to me. But on further reflection
it appeared to that if imposed this silence up
on myself might, contrary to the uniform tenor Of
my life, seem to be unwilling frankly and fearless
ly to submit my opinions to the public Judgment
therefore so far deviated from my first purpose as
to respond to letters addressed to me, making in
quiries in regard to subjects which had been much
agtated. OF the answers which so transmitted
some were intended exclusively for the satisfaction

THE POOR-II GU SIC L.
ny BARRY cornwall

ny BARRY CORNWALL.
Close at the edge of a busy town,
hugo quadrangulor mansion stands;
It's rooms are all filled with the parish poor
Its walls ure built by pnupcr hands,
And the pauper old and the pauper young
Peer out through the CRATES, in sullen bands
Behind is patch of earth, by thorns
Fenced In from the mooT'5 wide marshy plains
By the side is a gloomy lane, that steals
TO a quarry now filed with years oil rains;
But within, within there Poverty scowls,
Nursing IN wrath her brood of pains
Entor and look! In the hgh-walled yards
Fierce men are pacing the barren grounds
Enter the long bare chambers girls
And women sewing, without sound
Sewing from morn till tho dismal eve,
And not laugh OF song goes round
No commandments kind thought
Dwells in The paupors breast of carej
Nothing but pain w the grlevous lust-
Nothing to come but the black despair
OF bread in prison, bercft Of friends,
or hungry, out in the open air
Where is the bright-haircd girl that once
With her peasant sire used to play
Whore is Tho boy whom his moiilcr blessed,
Whose eyes were light on nor weary way
Apart--barred out $50 the law ordains)
Barred out from each other by night and by day.
Letters they teach in their infant schools
But whero are the lessons the great God taught!
Lessons that to the parent bind i
Habits of duty--love unhough?
Alas small good will be learned in schools
Where Nature is trampled and turned to nanght.
Seventeen summers. and where the girl
Who never grew up at her lathor's knee
Twenty autumual storms have nursed
The pauper's boyhood and whore is he
She enrncth her btead in the midnight lanes
lie toileth in chains by the Southern Sea.
o Power! o Prudence Law look down
From your ghts on the pning Poor below
O sever no heart which God hath joined
Together on earth for veal and wo!
o Senators grave grave truths may be,
Which yc huve not learned, nor deigned to know.
o Wealth! come forth with open hand!
o Charity! speak with softer sound
Yield pity TO Age-to tender Youth
To Love, wherever its home be found!
But ceaso-for hear in the night to como,
The cannon's blast and the rebels drum,
Shaking the lirm-set English ground!
