W Hsisthk 'et's s@h- So low
To-day has occurred scene IN the Sc.
nate, which every American should have
witnessed inperson. However. its effect
will be powerfully and bene6cislly felt
over the whole na,ian. Az The press had
heretofore suggested. Mr.. Clay to-day Of.
frled his compromise resolutions upon the
slavery question. He introduced them
with few remarks. and read them and
commented on them seriaiim. You viii
get them, and Think will approve of their
wisdemi and, thank God. that Henry
Clay is YET spared Il, our country to meet
the present CT sis.
No language can describe the manner
Of Mr. Clay. Ills lofty paiioli.m aud
manly courage make his every word elo-
queni, as his talents and craftsmanship
make all he says wise. The galleries
and floor Of the Senate were crowded to
sn(iocalion. Many were moved TO tears,
and al times il was difficult ~ suppress
the applause. Some one had msr pre-
scented Mr.. Clay with piece OF the cof
fa Of Washington. which he held in hls
hand. He said that he regarded il as an
omen--as a voice from The spirit Of the
Father Of his country To his connirym,n.
Some OF The ultra Southern Democrats
protested against the resolution If Mr..
Clay. Among them was Mr.. Jefferson
Davis. He started out. with books and
documents in hand. 10 show that Mr..
Clay had changed his position, since 80.

The journal Of that time, 4 totally different
result from the one he expected came 10
pass! The opinions Of Mr.. Clay were
precisely those he had ever held. A smile
of charitable pity for The young Senator
passed over the coun'enances of those
present. Mr.. Davis behaved CALAMITY in
Mexico, bui The Senate is mol the place
for him. How many even les. iii than
he, aud how many political blank car
tri,lges may yet be shot into The Halls
of Congress from the fields Of Mexico,

the number will be few, and that those to
come may be better qualified than Mr..
