HENRY CLAY.

This time honored statesman has again
been elected 10 the United States Senate.
His country has again called him from his
retirement to seat in her national couhsels'
We regard his election at this time as pc.
culiarly fortunate for our country. In days,
that are past, it has been said that nought
but the voice of Henry Clay, could have
Gained the turbulent waves of faction, and
by his personal influence alone, Undue the
members of Congress with that spirit of
compromise which admitted our own State
into this glorious confederacy. The same
veIed question, then as now, threatens to
shake the very foundation, of our constitu-
ton, and again The voice of Henry Clay
will be raised in defence of our Union. In
announcing the determination of this gifted
statesman TO accept of the high station that
has been assigned him; we must congrat-
ulate our countrymen, on an event so aus
Picous of The future prosperity of our coun-
try. With General Taylor as President
and Henry Clay as Senator. we have no
fears, that either northern or southern fam
alics, will succeed in their treacherous eff.
forts, to dissolve this grea, Union.

1t has been decided by the Supreme Court
that an act of the Legislature, granting a
divorce is unconstitutional, and void, conse-

in some cases very seriously affected by the
act of the Legislature in granting divorces.
