Mr.. CLAY.-In reply to an address to tn
Delegation which presentfdhim Silver Vac'
from the Ladies of Nashville Tenn. Mr.. Clay
thus speaks of the conseqt Fences of different
result of the last Electio{
i off indeed their kind Wishes in relation te
the issues the last Presid election had been
gratiied, have no doubt that we should have
avoided some of those public measures, so pre-
! gnant with evils to our country, to which you
have adverted. We should have preserved.un-
disturbed and without any hazard, peace with
all the world, have had no unhappy war with a
neighboring sister republic, and consequently
no deplorabe waste of humanlile of which that
which has been sacrificed or impaired in an in
salubrious climate is far greater and more la
mentable than what has been lost in the glorious
achievements of brave army, commanded by
skilful and gallant General.
"We should have saved The millions of treas
ure which that unnecessary war has and VIII
cost-an immense amount, sufficient to improve
every useful harbor on the lakes, on the ocean,
on the Gulf of Mexico, and in the interior, and
to remove Instructions to navigation in all the
great rivers in tho United States.
| We should not have subverted a patriotic
y
dustry of our own people and the interests of
our own country, too great benefits of which
have been practically demonstrated by expert
ence, for the visionary promises of an alien pol
Icy OF free trade, fostering the industry of for
eign people and the interests of foreign coun-
tries, which has brought in its train disaster
and ruin to every nation that has had the tenn
Gritty to try it. The beneficial tariff of 1912,
which raised both the people and the Govern
ment of the United States out of condition
of distress and embarrassment bordering on
bankruptcy to a state ofhigh financial ane gen
era prosperity, would now be standing unrepeaI-
ed In the statute book, instead of the fatal tar
if of 1916, whose calamituous effects, will,
appreLend, sooner or later be certainly re
allied.
"Al! this, and more of what has since occur
red in the public councils, was foretold prior to
that election. 1t was denied, disbeleved. or I'M
needed, and we now realize the unfortunate con-
sequences. But both philosophy and patriotism
enjoin that we should not indulge in nnavailing
regrets as to the incurable past. As part of
history in which it is embodied, we may derive
from 1t instructive lessons for our future guild
ancc, and we ought to redoube our exertions
to prevent their being unproftably lost"
FALsEHOoD-A SERIOUS CHARGE.-With all the
trouble we have to furnish our readers with accurate
Intelligence it is not little vexatious to have sin
gle reader stupid enough to doubt without shadow
of reason, and what is worse to accuse US of false
hood for what publish, with its proper credit,
from other sources. We last week quoted para
graph from English paper stating that l6 vessels
freighted with agricultural produce from Ireland,
had recently assembled the ''Silvery Thames not
wthstandng the cry of famine in that Island.
No sooner had copied it, without any attempt
TO claim the information original than it became
a wing lie, and we must bear the blame. Just as
though certain would be legislator could see any
thing improbable in the possibility of produce from
Ireland being carried home TO its resident owner
or being sent thther to find the most favorable mar
ket though the Irish peasautry might starve for
of it. Men ambitious of lofty honors ought to per-
init their humber fellows to enjoy their characters
for veracity undsturbed. Gtleast as in the present
case when most emphatically-
''HE that fiIches from US our good name,
Steals that which not enrches HIM:''
since whatever garb he assumes will be suspected.
