Mr.. CLAY's OPINIONS OF DEMoCRATs.-ssl have
had am happy to be able to avow it or to an
nounce it to the country have had, in the
anxiety to settle these questions connected with
the institution of slavery, an intercourse with
many of my democratic friends. | have known
I them better, and appreciate them more, than,
wheE looking at them through the eye of party,
1 was dispospd to regard them"
Clay's late speech.
We find these remarkable words in the late
speech of Mr.. Clay; remarkable alike for the
justice of the sentiments which they indicate as
they are in coming from such source.
Mr.. Clay proclaims that he has known them
better and appreciated them more than when
looking at them through the eye of party.
Mr.. Clay has arrived at that time of life, when,
expecting nothing from mere party, and looking
abroad upon the wide field of patriotism, he rec
ognizes active laborers in the vineyard his
democratic fellow citizens, and stripping his Wis
ion OF the party prejudice which has hitherto OBJ
secured his sight, he cxclaims in the fulncss of
his regenerated soul-"I have known them bet
ter and appreciate them more" This is the
language of an unbiased, candid statesman
Would to God that he had known his demo-
cratic fellow citizens sooner, and appreciated
the principles by which they are actuated more

We are so much interested in the success OF
this road that we seize upon anything which
looks like a final passage of the donation Bill.
The following is from the Washington Cor
respondent of the Illinois State Register
GA skirmish was had in the House on the Cen
trail Railroad grant, yesterday. Your dele gatior
were worsted in the contest. They do not des-
pair, however. COL Baker was not here He
is absent in New York or some where else
Ashmun also absent, who is a strong friend
Of the bill, and also influences large vote on
the question: Yesterday nearly the whole body
| of the eastern members went against us. Some
| OF the bitterest enemies of the grant are from
Indiana and Ohio Your delegation sill think
they can get up and pass 1t, but it will require
great exerton-out-door exerton.
81 perceive that you oppose the coupling of
any other grant to the bill. The lacking Of the
Northern Cross to it would not gain it single
vote, while it is we'll known here, that many
would be lost to it by such connection. Again
if one cross road is attached both must be, thus
loading down the bill with a weight that must
inevitably sink it. Gen Pickering has been
here all winter, attempting to foist the Alton
and Mt. Carmel road on to the bill and his
operations have embarrassed the efforts of the
delegation greatly

Gold Ira Oregon.

| 1t will be rccollccted by our readers, that, a
few days since, we mentioned the existence of a
report that gold has been discovered in Oregon
| in considerable quantitics.-Sin that time we
have heard from various other sources nforma-
ton OF the character, but we scarcely dared
give credcnce to the reports Letters have
been in town some days, from most respectable
sources in Oregon, which seem to confirm these
reports. We have been shown letter received
few days since, by one ofo our most esteemed
merchants, from a relative residing at Saint
tlelens, formerly Plymouth, dated the 29th OF
May, and after its perusal we can no longer re-
main ncredulous, as we conceive the letter to
have come from perfectly reliable source. By
permission, we make few extracts;
ST. HELENs, Wednesday, May 90, 1850.
A great excitement prevails here; gold is
found every where and parties are constantly
forming for further explorations A party of
some of our most respectable merchants left
Portland a few days since for the Wallah- Wal
lah tributary of the Columbia The move
ment proceeded from parcel of sand which was
brought in by the Indians, which yielded SO per
cent pure gold And in consequence of this
and the many other similar reports, flour has
risen from $lS to $40 per barrel in Oregon City,
and other articles of consumption in proportions
Reports from Rogue's River represent gold as
very abundant upon that strcam.-A large party,
Mr.-among the number, start in few weeks,
