This was trulya great day in the Senate Those
who heard Mr. Clsys argument yesterday and thoushs
indinerentiy about It, were day rresstiby carried
long by his psroration This has bean MT Gays
forte; and whoever listened to him to-day, viii admit
freely that before did he speak with more cleo
;ric effect Those who will read his speech viii not be
able TO form adequate idea or It's EJECT hosra
his picture the uEsd State. vas truly fright
full de was In the Union, be would live In the Uniou,
and he begged God him ht rather than wit
Mess the dissolution Of the Union. Mr.. Clay paid
very hapdsome tribute to General Scott, whose osn.
paign in Mexico he thought greater than that Of
Cortez and whom he believed the most skful general
OF the age These remarks we're responded {, b.

WAS introduced, merely en- Psssan as igurants who
had received his reward.
without attempting describe the scene In the Sc.
sate let me sum mp the points established by Mr.
Cays speech, which will be OF immense consequence
all on the country. First MIR. Clay is the only man.
thus TAR no, coming from the South has dared
Duke the South for its Violence and tell them that
the Unios IL remedy for the ills they
bear; while il cer,any would ease their number
and in nsty He further rold both sections North
and South that each Of them done wrong that
there Is no use in talking II compromise tn both
perceived the Of their and willing
make amt nds for it. When you promise each party
must yield something; Tor both have been wrong in
The effect CT these declarations made by Mr. Clay In
open Ssrae, and which viii soen be spread far aud
wide throughout the country will make the people Of
beth tiuns think and rehect their position and
that is he proper moral condition from which com.
whether 1t wil be that pr 1pSsed by Mr. Clay by his
resolutions. On The whole lhs Mt Clay destined
10 do much good erp-csiiy In he North whore fans

politics and even OF religion. No one doubt the
quality Of MIR Clsys hart his sincere devotion to the
country bis love u the Mon and his high chivalrous
and patriotic bearing a. this crisis Above all things,
his speech will produce an incalculabls deal Of
good, by convincing the North that there IL dam
