CLAY MEETING IN New York CITY.-From
twelve TO fifteen thousand of the Wings Of
New York held mass meeting at Castle Gar
den on the 18th inst, and adopted spirited
and able address and resolutions, recommen-
ding Henry Clay as the candidate of the Wings
of New Nork for the Presidency. The New
York papers concur in representing this meet
ingas one of the largest, most enthusiastic, re-
spectacle and orderly assemblages ever conven-
ed in that city. The Herald says:
OF the meeti ng in Castle Garden, nominating
Henrs Clay, little need be said to those who
saw it. According to the estimate OF our re-
porters, IL numbered tlcclUe thousand persons,
perfectIu united aud ercited as one man. The
Wings Of this great city are decidedly, and by
an immense majority, in favor OF Henry Clay,
and no mistake We admit this great fact
broadly and completely.
The Tribune, after speaking Of the size OF the
meeting, remarks:
But its numbers vast as they were, were but
single element Of this immense meeting. IL
character, intelligence, order, and dignity, we
doubt whether an assemblage more deserving
of respect was ever seen. Although the deel

LIFE INsURANcE.-Mr. J. P. Whitney, an
old and extensive merchant of New Orleans,
some time previous to his death, which hap
pened lately in that city, effected an insurance
of $50 900 on his life. This handsome sum
will of course go to his widow. What conso-
lation it must have been to the good man in
his last hours to know that, by the investment
of comparatively small sum, he was leaving
10 his wife and family a certain and inadequate
support. 1t is somewhat strange that while
men are striving to leave competence to their
families, and in nineteen cases in twenty, fail
ing, they should neglect this mode, which costs
but triAing yearly expenditure. In the East,
life insurance is very generally resorted to, es-
pecially by mechanics, clerks, small dealers,
and those who are dependent upon their sala-
ries for their support and that oftheir families
1t will meet with favor, we do Eot doubt, IN
the West, when its principles are better known
and when those whom it is intended to bene
fit, give it that thought and consideration i
deserves.
| In this connection we desire to mention fo
the benefit of our public, that MIR. ALLEN c
HALLocK is the agent for one of the best Lite
Insurance Companies in the Union, and vii

BrENN1AL SEssIoNs.-Several papers IN the
State are advocating the Importance ola change
in the constitution, SO as to require meeting
of the Legislature once in three, or at most
once in two years, instead of annually. For
ourselves we think that session once IN two
or three years, would be sufficient to do up all
the public business, at a saving of time and
money, and that it would tell finely upon the
State Treasury. We can do just as we'll with
a session every other year, and that would save
Just half the present expense-make taxes
lighter and leave more money in the hands OF
the people, to devote TO the improvement OF
their farms or houses, public roads, schools,
railroads, &C., &c.
The TeIre Haute Express speaking OF this
matter, and alluding to the stampede among
the members of the Legislature on account oil
case of small pox at the capital, says: eli
the Legislature can adjourn from personal feel
| ings without detriment to the State, the State
would have lost nothing if the members haC
not assembled. And the character of the late
| legislation shows too, that little would have
been lost if the Legislature had not convened
this winter at all, as nine-tenths OF the law
are purely local, and about some small matter
that do no general good any way. Other State
have seen the bad policy of yearly legislatures
and have abolished them; we think we Nigh
