The CLAY MEN.-Hear how of General Tay-
lor's ofceholders speaks Of Clay and his friends.
The editor of the N Y. Mirror, from whom we quote
original friend Of Gen. Taylor. and now
holds Office under hrn i'll the Navy Department.
He speaks very plainly. He says:
"But the time has come to separate the genuine
from the spurious friends of the administration. Gen.
Taylor elected by the Spontaneous combustion
of the people. without the aid, and in spite of the
opposition open concealed, of these man-worship-
pers; and he be sustained ,cthout their aid. Let
them split off: the the better for The conserva-
tive interest If the country. From The day General
TaS lor took the chair at the White House, this
(Cay) influence has been secretly at work "to rule
o ruin" the administration: and at the same time
these very who fought us in the campaign have
been fawning about the executive and begging fol-
office! We regret to add that, in many instances
these hypocrcal lick-spittles have been successful.

Address 10 the MiS~issiDDi.

Three bundled years have run theiI course,
Since S0to's hardy band,
Led by the hope OF shining gold,
Fist irod upon thy strand
What thoughts had filed the spaniard's heart,
And chez ei his daring soul.
Had he but dreamed Of half the wealth,
That on thy breast should roll
But dreams like these came not to light
The dark De Sotoi mini;
He lavished curses on himself
And cursed ell human kind.
He little thought that that great aaod,
Ia which he would rest,
Had flowed almost from arctic climes,
And myriad nations blest.
He little thought the very soil,
Which all his glory bu'r,
Had come fIom distant Oregon,
thousand yeaIs before.
lie knew not that he tod the graves
That Alegewi made,
E'e, Solomon the stone
or rich Palmyra laii.
He felt not iha, whore now he lay,
Upon that giant food,
The "Spiri" of the red man dwelt,
Immaculate in blood.
mighty river thou hast seen
Enough OF human pride;
How many kingdoms hast thou borne
Adown thy sGilen tide !
Yet, thou art doomed 10 witness more,
A voice that shakes the eaith,
Pr6claims, Euphiates of the west,
Tbou'It see Creations birth"
Already we despse the shore
Where our forefathers dwelt;
Ahesdy we have CEASED to feel
The fame the Pilgrims felt.
But who Of earthly mould will stand,
Upon thy cypress bank,
Unconscious that the earth beside,
Hath n0ught with thee TO rank.
