aAmost able address from the gifted pen of
BulLITr of the Bee to the people of the State,
was then read and adopted by acclamation gene
raj resolutions were also adopted; grand Central
Committee was appointed, and all other needful
arrangements made to ensure an efficient organl-
mtion and vigorous campaign.
nThe Mass Convention reassembled to-day on
ihe Place d. AraaeS, where Gov Roman made u
very handsome and eloquent address, and report
ed the proceedings OF the grand Committee,
which were UNANIMOUSLY approved. Other ad-
dresses were made, and the Convention ad-
parned sine die; but formed in procession, and
marched up to pay their respects to Mr.. Clay,
who was receiving the farewell visits of his
his departure tomorrow for Mobile. The Nv
ing thousands congregated in the street below
whilst Mr.. CLAY made his appearance on the
platform of the portico of this noble edltice.-
Every hat was raised, every tongue gave utter
anca every heart beat high, as he came forward
between the massive Corinthian columns of the
building. He spoke but two or three minutes
said but few sentences, but they were words
ih,.L +ba,, Cal ~ hp..
his most captious political opponents have taken
exception at single word he uttered

P.S We find the following report of the few
words that fell from Mr. CLAY on this occasion,
in the Tropic:
You call for speech from me, my fellow
citizens; it is not proper that should make
speech, and 1all not make speech. But this
lmay say to you, you are engaged IN good
cause, an honest cause, glorious cause, the
principles which you are advocating tend to the
advancement of the prosperity of the Republic,
and / ,ciH tell you that from all quarterS-trom
The jarthest corners of Maine to the e1tremest
points of Louisiana, the signs of the times are
,roptious, and not Speck obscures the horizon.
Go ON, THEN Go AHEAD "
