HENRY CLAY IN SPR1NGFIELD.-The Spring
field Republican of the l7th says; Mr.. Clay arri-
we'd here on Thursday evening inthe Western train
of cars, from Saratoga Notwithstanding many
were detained from meeting him, in consideration
Of his i'll health, the large depot was filed with
eagerly eIpectant throBg, who greeted him with
irrepressibe cheers when he appeared upon the
platform He bowed pleasantly to his noisy friends,
and entering carriage was conveyed TO the Union
House" He left Springfield the next morning,
for Newport direct, by the way Of the Worcester
and Providence Railroad
Mr.. Clay arrived at Providence on Friday even
ing, Uia Worcester, and Immediately proceeded to
Newport in the steamboat Perry. OF his arrival
in Worcester the Spy says:
He arrived at the Junction Station (of the West.
ern and Providence Railroad) in the south part Of
the city, at quarter past o'clock, and left in the
Providence train half an hour afterwards. Time,
atilictiOn, and disease, have greatly altered him
since we last saw him, but they have not bowed
him down. He stands erect as in the meridian Of
his life with the same dignltied and commanding
port, and, though thin, emaciated and feeble, the
fire of genius still radiates from his eve. He is
accompanied by his son and family. Some two or
three hundred of citizens collected at the
station to welcome him, and, when he departed
gathering would undoubtedly have been much
larger than it was but the time Of his arrival was
known to but few persons. -.
The Providence Journal says of the arrival of
this distinguished statesman:
He was received with great enthusiasm at all the
stopping places, and a great crowd assembled to
welcome him at the depot In Difference to his
own wishes so earnestly expressed no formal re-
ception was rendered to him. but nothing could
restrain the anxiety Of the people TO see the great
statesman whose whole life has been devoted to
the interests of American labor, and who has taken
so deep and so just nold upon the affections of
the American people. Mr.. Clay was carried to the
boat in an elegant barouChe, wth-fOur horses.
Many people had collected to meet him along the
streets, and large crowd at the boat where, at
the depot, he was received with repeated and en-
husiastic cheers The bells were rung on his arri-
val, and until the boat left the wharf The flags
of the shipping in the harbor were also displayed.
Mr. Clay, much as be said it would crafty him,
was not able 10 give any encouragement that he
would, during his visit to Rhode Island, make an
exception in favor Of this city, and meet the people
who would be glad to pay ,heir respects TO him.
The state Of his health impeauvely demands
! repose, and it viii be cruel 10 crowd upon him
| while he is in Newport. He has taken lodgings
at the Atlantic House, and proposes TO remain in
! Newport during the MONTH

There's Deacon Jones across the way,
Who gets one every week,
And he can beat you oil they say,
When called upon 10 ospcah.
The reason, sir, is plain you know,
For when he reads il through,
His words like milk and honey flow,
And all he tells is new;
So he is taken by the hand
For what he can impart;
While old and young around him stand,
And say the Deacon's smart.
oh is it no, a shame ! say,
To hug your purse so tight,
When mere bit Of clay
Would Sc, the matter right?
What good is gold, how can you tell,
To any Of our kind,
Unless it keeps The body we'll
And benefits The mind7
Why don't you take the papers, Brown7
I'm sure It is shame,
That we cant get the news from town
Before it's old and tame!
Now let us quit at once this way,
And take worthy start,
And ere year our friends will say.
