GRATITUDE TO HENRY CLAY.

In all parts Of the Union we notice spontas
eous gatherings of the People to devise and
execute some token Of their profound regar-
for the genius, worth and exalted public ser.
vices of Henry Clay. They are most anx-
ious now TO establish and set forth some
enduring evidence OF the fact that though d
combination Of fraud and phrenzy has pre-
vented the elevation of the great Kentuck-
ian to the highest ciyic station, he is yet Pres
ident in the hearts of a very large portion
of the Intelligence, Moral Worth and Mum
bers of the American People.

widow of the late Gov. James BarbOur-havC
resolved to erect Monument to MIR. Clay
They will do it, we doubt not.
The Wings of LolrRdes Co. Mississippi
held meeting on learning the result OF the
Election and resolved TO suggest great Ma
tional Monument TO Mr.. Clay, toward which
every Wing in the Union is invited to con-
tribute one dollar. As an earnest OF their
disposition in the matter, that at once raised
a sum equal to 81 for each vote cast for
Clay in that Comfy. and their Treasurer
holds it subject TO call. They suggested
that the direction of the work be conhded to
a National Committee, composed OF such
men as John Chttenden. Benjamin Watkins

Wing Members oil Congress sanction this
proposition, we stand ready to do what we

This is not without its meaning. When ia
ken in connection with the remarks which
accompany the nomination there is also anoth-

is, that Mr.. Calhoun, Mr. Cass, nor any of
Tho men who took part in supplanting MrVau

any favor with the new administration. 1t is
broadly claimed that New York, under the
