HENRY CLAy.--In the newspaper discussions
relative to the next Presidency, we find no
mention made Of Henry Clay. His health is
said to be better than it was ten years ago, and
his intellect is as vigorous as ever, and yet
there is not Wing press in the Union that pro-
poses him as candidate for the Chief Magis-
tracy in 1862. He is quietly shelved to make
room for men of far inferior intellect, without
1.-THE Of the claims upon the party and the
country that he has.
There was n time when the very name of
Henry Clay sent thrill of devotion through
the hearts Of the whole Wing party. What a
change We do not recollect to have seen his
name in print for month past "None so
poor as to do him reverence" Is this neglect
because Of any fault in Mr.. Clay? Not at ALL
On the contrary, he has never deserved better
Of his country than now. II is the party that
has changed, not its forsaken idol He is still
the noblest Roman Of them all, and his patri-
otto endeavors in the Senate Of the United
States, to heal the breach between the North
and South, should render him more popular at
this time than at any former period of his life.

POPULAR SENTIMENT OF NEW ORLEANs.-The
Daily Crescent, of August 25th, says: "What-
ever may have been the previous views of the
different newspapers of New Orleans, the mas
sacre of the gallant Crittenden and his party,
with attendant circumstances of such atrocious
barbarity, has united them in one feeling of in
dignant horror, and called from them a sponta-
neous denunciation Of its perpetrators. This is
also the unanimous public sentiment of our
quick, high spirited, sensitive community. In
the eyes of all, the government which could
and much more commit, such inhuman
atrocities, darkens the earth and should be
blotted from existence"

SHADE OR Standardization seems far
more absolute in its reign than the autocrat of
Russia. 1t was that tyrant that threw out of
vogue really valuable article, the parasol, to
give place to that kind Of mamby-pamby affair,
the sunshade. A fashion that suits the meridian
of London or Paris is but ill-adapted to our
climate, where the sun shines with SO much
efulgence; and it is to be hoped that our la
dies will "reform it altogether" They inva-
riably dress thinly at this season, and the sun
shade is no defence against the influence of the
hot sun, / have little doubt that hundreds of
cases of bilious fever have occurred to females,
from which they might have been exempted
had they used parasol or light umbrella.
MEDICUs
The word " sunshade" is the English of spar
asol," but the things are both but French dimin-
utives of the good and useful umbrella Ladies
would consult health, comfort, and beauty of
complexion, by selecting the latter widely UNI
brageous protector, unless their chief object is
to bite the handle, as we perceive the most Of
them do.
