The Hon. MIR. Clay, OF Kentucky.

We notice that this great orator and statesman has
rendered his resignation to the egsature of kentucky
in consequence of his feeble state of health No ind
vdua, probably, has retired from public life with
kinder feeling the part of his coun,rymen than Mr.
Clay will carry with him. We say this with full recol
lection of the contests in which he has been engaged

which seemed almost necessary to our own ex.
isence but there was never moment in which they
prevented from admrng the courage, ability, and
patriotism displayed by the leader of the party which op
posed the election OF General Jackson TO the presidency
and the prominent acts Of his administration We
doubted that this opposition commenced from point o
view right far the motive concerned, but mis-
taken chiefly from its msconception OF the personal
qualities of the called by the public gratitude TO take
charge OF the responsibilities of the presidency. When
Mr. Clay deprecated a calamity that tone of public
sentiment which would reward military talent Will

fully by those who rejected the illustration which was in
his mind That he should afterwards have been disposed

MIR Clay will retire from the public councils with bt
that his abos have contributed the glory
OF his country and to the perpetuaon Of lis Union
and. though not surrounded with the halo Of mi,ar,

hitting his name 10 posierty as patriot and statesman
His life will fill one OF our brightest pages illus

We trust that retirement will restore his enfeebec
