Much Of it arises from an abiding love Of Henry
Clay, and the highest appreciation Of the noble quail
tiles Of his head and heart. For the country the
Wings feel much but they rely on their future enc
ergies to save that. They feel, that with party
possessing such numbers, such moral and political
power as their own, they can hold in check if not
fully rivals, but for Henry Clay their beloved Clay,
they feel that the day has gone BY for the country
to do justice to him. They feel that the republic
may be justly accused Of ingratitude to one Of her
greatest benefactors. George Washington never had
deeper hold on the affections of the American peo-
pie than has Henry Clay upon the wing party. and
he is considered BY them as disnterested patriot,
as was the Father Of his Country. Should they not
then feel the keenest sorrow for his fates especially
in view of the cruel ISLANDERS that have peen heaped

says that it is impossible to describe the sorrow of
that city. Old men, and others unused to the mel

have befallen the gallent leader Of the Wings, hike
