A LETTER ExrRAoRD1NARY.-The Wash
ington Union is laudatory of Mr.. Clay! 1t CO.
pies an article in regard to him from the Mer-
curry, Charleston, and says: "In conclusion, we
would not do justice to our own feelings did
we not applaud the noble tribute which the
Mercury pays the eminent statesman Of the
West. Such tributes are alike honorable to
him who receives and to him who pays them.
Mr.. Clay has won many laurels in past times,
but he has won none in his long and distin-
guished career of which his friends should be
more proud than those which are now woven
around his brow, for the patriotic course he has
pursued during the present session. They
will grace his declining years, and be fresh in
the memory of the people long after all that is
mortal of the great crater will have mingled
with dust and ashes. We, of course, have no
reference to any ambitious aspirations which
some of his friends may have formed for him..
1t is not certain that Mr.. Clay would again as
pire to the Presidency, full Of thorns as it al
waysis at any time of any mans life; but at
his time of life the honor is less to be coveted
while the burden of the responsibility is less
easy to be borne. Far better for any man to
deserve the unenviable distinction than to win
it, and far nobler to be called the friend of his
country than it's President
