Henry CLAY-REQUEsr TO RESIGN
"A late Cincinnati Enquirer says
Eat a meeting Of the citizens Of Trim.
BILE county, Kentucky, held on the
goth ult.. al the Court House, in the
town Of Bedford, lCithOut anu distinc>
ton Of party, the following resolu.
tions offered by John Robert, Esq, a
Wing, were adopted:
BE Il further Resolved, That the doc.
trines published 10 the world by the
Hon. Henry Clay, in relation 10 eman-
cipation, are calculated, if carried out.
not only TO violate the constitutional
rights Of this Commonwealth, but
greatly 10 injure the condition of the
slaves, by corrupting them.
BE Il further RESOLVED, As the sense
Of this meeting, that with the opin,
ions Of the said Henry Clay, now
made manifest, upon the subject ofab
clifton or emancipation, that he is no
longer deemed fit instrument TO car
ny out the wishes and defend the
rights Of the good people of this Com
monwealth in the Senate of the Uni
ted States, and therefore, as the first
act Of the next Legislature of Ken> (
tucky, he, the said Henry Clay, should
be formally requested to resign his
seat in the Senate Of the United
States.
DFNow mark the difference. IN I
Whilst the sentiments of Mr.. CLAY 4
are thus bitterly denounced by all par.
lies, wings as well as democrats, AZ his
'acn State, we have seen but one sohig
press in Tennessee find fault with his
ate emancipation letter. The Eagle
in this place spoke in high
erms Of the styls Of the letter, but
'fered no objection, if we rightly re-
member, 70 its sentiments; sentiments
which the goods people Of Trimble
county, Ky, say "not only violated
be constitutional rights Of this Com
nonwealth, but greatly injure the con
lition Of the slaves, By corruptin0

Sm:-Permii me through your paper
TO suggest the name Of Capt. WIN DELAY,
as Fl, person 10 supply the vacancy in the
Democratic ticket occasoned by the decli :
nation Of Judge WIN. II. SMTHER to become
a candidate for Sheriff of Lafayette county.
The selection of Capt. DELAY us a candi-
date for Sheriff, would, am satisfied from
frequent conversations with the democracy
from all parts Of tho county, give satisfac-
ton and secure the united support of The
party. 1t is high time Mr.. Editor, that The
party should be aroused to the absolute ne
cessity Of placing democrats in every min
isIerial office within their gin, particularly
when it can be done by men every way
qualified. From his earliest settlement
amongst US, Capt. DELAY has been a con-
sistent democrat, and one that for series
of years have rendered valuable services to
he party, both at the busting and on the
enied fields. His election would prove
tightly grateful 10 a large circle Of friends,
nd be but need due.

The Father and his Babe.

Here is an effusion of the poet CAMPBELL
over Ills child: "Our first interview was
when he lay in his little crib, in the midst of
white muslin and dainty lace, prepared by
Matilda's hands-long before the strangers
arrival. l verify believe that ~lovelier babe
was never smiled upon by the light of heav-
EN-. lie was breathing sweetly in his first
sleep-l Hurst not wakcn him, but ventured
one kiss. lie gave a faint murinur. and
opened his little azure lights. Since that
time he has continued to grow in grace and
III stature. j can take him in my arms, but
still his good nature and his beauty are but
provocatiyes to the affection which one must
not indulge; he cannot bear to be Rugged:
he cannot yet stand a worrying. O that /
were sure he would live to the DAYS when |
could take him on my knee. and feel tbe
strong plumpness of childhood waxing into
vigorous youth. My poor boy! shall / have
the extacy of teaching him thoughts. and
knowledge, and reciprocity of love TO me ?
IL is bold to venture into %fiIturity so far AT
present his loye-like face is a comfort IN
me; his lips breathe that fragrance which it
rs one of the ~lovliest kindnesses of nature
that she has given to infants-a sweetness
OF smell more delightful than all the treas
ures of Arabia. What admirable beauties
OF God and Natures bounty we live in with
out knowing! How few have ever seemed
to think am infant beautiful! But to me
