the greatest OF which our country can boast for
half century, are Clay, Webster and Calhoun.

great and small alike, are tending In that very
chamber within whose walls the intellectual efforts
Of these statesmen have given fame to the country
and Immortality to their own names, the two living
have spoken Of the one dead. What can be more
interesting to the country than to hear the words
that were uttered in this last sad tribute After
