Death srueury Gay.


We make up the following account
from Eastern exchanges and recent tel.
egrams:
The last hours Of Henry Clay were
self.possessed. tranquil, and free from
pain. He expired like an infant going
to sleep. His spirit departed so quiet
ly, that it was some minutes before bis
attendants were aware that he was dead.
He said nothing until about half an
hour before his death. when in low
voice, he asked for a drink of water,
which was given him by his son through
silver tube. At this moment ne said
to his son, "Don't leave me-" An un-
usual difficulty in swallowing was OBJ
served, and he gave signs to loosen his
neck-cloth. This was removed and he
remained quiet for few moments. He
then said in quite an audible voice, al
AM GOING HOME" These were his last
words. in less than ten minutes after,
he yielded up his spirit 10 Him who
gave it.
The Senate met at l2 o'clock. Rev.
Mr.. Butler, delivered a most eloquent
and impressive prayer. The journal
was then read, when
Mr.. Underwood, of Kentucky, the
colleague of Mr.. Clay, arose and an
nounced the death of that distinguished
statesman. He gave a biographical
sketch and glowing eulogy on his char
acter. He said that on Sabbath NOR.
ming last, Nr. Clay said to him, there
may be some question arise where my
remains shall be put. Some persons
may designate Frankfort; but | wish to
repose in the Cemetery in Lexington,
where many Of my friends and connec-
tons are buried.
In conclusion, Mr.. Underwood of
fered resolutions to appoint committee
Of six to superintend the funeral at IL
O'Clock tomorrow, and that the Sena-
tors wear the usual badge of mourning
for one month.
The remains will be removed in pur.
suance of his request to Lexington, in
charge ofthe Sergeant-at-Arms and the
committee Of six Senators.
Addresses we're also made by Messrs.
Cass, Hunter, Hale, Clemens, Cooper,
Jones, Brooke and Seward. Mr.. Breck
enridge, Of Kentucky, announced his
death in the House. Both Houses ad-
journed.
Judge Underwood in his address to
the Senate, remarked that Mr.. Clay died
in full faith that ne would be saved
through the merits OF Jesus Christ. He
was in full communion with the Episco-
pal church, and died a witness ofthe ef-
icacy of such a religion for fna! saliva
ton.

Collins and Clark were sentenced
to be hung at Greenupsburgh, on the
25th, for the murder of Brewer and
wife. Collins hung himself in jai
two days before the appointed day
of execution. Clark was officially
hung by the Sheriff on the day ap.
pointed. An immense concourse oi
people, Of both sexes, embracing
passengers borne on nine different
steamboats,, and numbering many
thousands, attended the execution oi
Clark. He went to the scaffold ut
terIy broken in spirits, and crying
piteousIy. The religious services
on the occasion were conducted by a

A FoRGERY.-A letter has been CO.
ing the rounds of the opposition prints,
purporting to have been written BY Gen.
Scott, on the subject of Nativism, the
design being to humbug naturalized vo-
ters. VIM. E. Robinson, a naturalized
Irishman, TO whom Gen. Scott wrote a
letter in 1S48 on the same subject, in a
letter 10 the New York Times, pronOun-
ces the letter a forgery, and says Gen.
Scot. did not write that letter.
The following is the letter to Mr..
Robinson. II is the letter Of man
whose opinions are honestly entertained
and frankly expressed. No lodging or
conrealing about the old hero.

There is great deal being said
by .hs unscruPulous about Gen.
Scott's religious opinions. 1t is
boldly affirmed that he is a Roman
Catholic. 1t is hoped thereby TO
create some capital against him out
OF the prejudIces that exist in some
portions Of the country sgainst that
church. We deem it a matter OF
no importance, so far as influencing
his success or defeat, 10 what church
Gen. Scott belongs, although it is
well known that he belongs to the
Episcopalian church. (the same oI
which Mr.. Clay was a member,) and
is, as he said in one Of his letters
written several years ago, "staunch
Protestant"
The following from the New York
Tribune expresses healthy notions on
this subject:
ave have received some half
dozen letters inquiring whether Gen.
Scott is or is not Roman Catholic.
We beg leave to answer all at once
that we don't knOtc TO what religious
denomination Gen. Scott is attached;
and if we did know we should not
say so, in reply TO any such applica-
tions as we have received. That
Gen. Scott is an honest. conscien-
tious, God-(earing, law abiding man,
is abundantly known; further than
this, we hold that no man has right
to inquire, with a view to the vote
he is to cast for the President. We
knew and detested those who cleo
tioneered against John Q. Adams,
because he was a Unitarian; we
know that the Chief Justice of the
United States is a Jealous Roman
Catholic, but we never heard any
body intimate that his integrity or
fitness for his high station was at all
affected by that circumstance. Gen.
Scott, we have understood, is an
Episcopalian, but we never inquired
what church he attended and never
shall inquire. 1t will be a sad day
for our country when any considera-
bic number of votes for a President
can be influenced, one way or an
other. by the religious professions oi
the rival candidate"

Revolution In Lower California.
SAY DIEeo, Cal, May Is, 80.

AlhN 1AAoCi OLAst ~
A few days since a report reached
this place that another revolution
had broken out in Lower California
that the insurgents or revolu-
tionists were marching with a small
force on the town OF San Tomas
the Government troops had gone
out and met them, and that the
parties were engaged in skirmishing
fight when the courier lett in search
OF Don Castro, the Commander Of
Lower California. who had passed
through San Diego a few days
previous on his way TO Santa Bar
bara. Yesterday another courier
arrived, bearing the intelligence that
the revolutionary party has been
successful, and have taken the town
of San Tomas. They took the
Padre, who acted as General Of the
Government party, and the Alcalde
OF the town, prisoners, put them in
irons, and had sent them off down
the country. Several were killed
on both sides, among the number
the notorious Lent, who commanded
the party that killed the American
Van Ness, and his companion, some
time ago. The rumOrs as 10 the
intentions or objects had in view by
the revolutionists, vary much in their
tenor. Some say they intend TO set
up as an Independent Republic, de-
claring they can never prosper under
the Mexican Government: others
say that they intend TO hoist the
American flag, and ask protection
from the American Government
This, however, regard as mere ru-
NOR: it is not known here what their
intentions are--my own opinion is,
that it is a struggle between those in
office and those out OF Office, tor the
little piunder to be obtained by one
party in putting down another, and
relving upon the weakness Of the
Mexican Government TO do anything
with them beyond the acknowledge
ing the authority Of the strongest
party.-Cor. San Francisco Herald.

interest, they do but portray the
conduct of an administration Of the
government Of which. for near two
years, have been member. On
all others they but reiterate the doc
trines and recommendations held by
its chief, in important public CON-
municatinns.
Should the people Of the United
States give their sanction TO the
nominations Of your convention, so
lar as | shall be vested with authori-
tv, a faithful adherence 10 these
doctrines may be expected.
| therefore accept the distinction
50 honorabIy rendered, with crate,
ful heart, but with unaffected dif-
fidence. II is a satisfaction, how
ever, to know that the place TO
which | have been nominated is but
secondary, and that for the first Of
fee the convention has proposed a
citizen Of tried patriotism and virtue,
long and Familiarity acquainted with
public affairs and public men-a safe
and sagacious counsellor, who has
well fulfilled every trust heretofore
committed to his hands, and who
has illustrated our history by emf
nent public services.
With my thanks for the courtesy
with which you have honored me, in
the execution of your Office, and
with the highest personal respect,
am your obedient servant.
