Mr.. CLAY AT HonE.--The Kentucky

has taken place between Mr.. Clay and a
committee of his Democratic end Wing
fellow citizens of Lexington, inviting him
to be present at tree Barbecue, which
was to ak place on THURSDAY last. After

ger. am rejoiced, upon my return home,
to fird that was not mistaken as to the
state ofpublic opinion in Kentucky. My
Democratic fellow citizens have met and
welcomed me with cordiality and
warmth not surpassed by the Wings, and
both parties have united in gratifying
demonstrations OF their attachment and
confidence. 1t is highly honorable and
consolIng to the patriotism Of our country,
that, on such great and perilous occasions
as that which occurred during the last
session OF Congress, parties will lay aside
all their divisions and s1rlIes and heartily
cooperate in the preservation OF that glo.
rious Union, without which We have no
more guarantee for the enjoyment OF lib
erty, or any other political blessing.

confident belief, that the system Of mea-
sures passed by Congress will finally he
acquiesced in by the great body of the
United States, and lead to quiet and tram

South may seek to continue or revive agi-
tation but, rebuk-d and discountenanced
by the masses, they will ultimately be
