Canada The Canadian papers have picked up
the idea, that the celebration is to be on the field

OF unnecessary indignation. The Montreal Pilot,

The battle of Lundy's Lane is not an event of

reason to be ashamed; but the celebration of it. as
rictory, by American citizens within our frontier,
Is certainly very cool and 1--WE are inclined to
think hardly prudent experiment.
This extract will serve to show with what un-
necessary warmth the Canadians discuss the mat
ter. 1t is natural they should feel somewhat sore

Letter From Mr. Wasslingtozs

The following is the letter from the don. Geo.
G. Washington declining the nomination for Vice
President, rendered him by the Native American
National Convention.
have seen in the public prints the proceedings
of the American National Convention which as
sembed at Trenton, N. j.. on the 5th inst, from
which it appears that | was nominated
didate for the office of Vice President of the Uni
ted States. No official communication of the fact
has been received by me, and if any such was
made it has miscarried My name having been
thus unexpec tedly presented to the country, cam
not longer consent to remain silent, and therefore
adopt this mode of responding to the nomination.
| am highly honored in being deemed worthy of
such Distinction and by having my name associat-
ed with that of the eminent and revered citizen
selected by the convention for the Office of Pres-
dent of the United States
The Baltimore Wing Convention has presented
to the nation. as candidates for the same office the
names of Winfield Scott and VIM. A. Graham
These nominations received my cordial assent, as
they will my Jealous support.
have been on terms of friendly intercourse
with Gen. Scott for twenty years. and esteem
him for his spotless character, and his frank, man
ly and courteous bearing. | respect him tor tai
ents often severely tested, but which never failed
him under the most trying circumstances; and
admire him for his military services, by which
the character of his country has been elevated at
home and abroad. and been equalled by those of
no man living or dead since the days OF the Revo-
luton.
He has freely shed his blood in maintaining the
honor of his country and her rights. His patriotic
devotion to the Union. conservative principles and
firm support Of the compromise measures cannot,
in my belief, be questioned without doing him
great wrong and injustice.
Mr., Graham is wholly unexceptionable, being
respected for his talents and esteemed for his vir-
tues by all who know him.
Entertaining these opinions of the candidates of
the Whig National Convention, and being fully
and willingly committed to their support, | am
constrained most respectfully to decline the nomi-
nation Of the American National Convention.

The New York Times says Democratic papers
glory in the fact that the rabid Free Soers all
refuse to go for Scott. Admitted; and admitted
further, that they intend to follow their usual Alb
clifton instincts, by supporting the Democratic
nomination There is Rantoul, though ousted from
the Convention, whips in meekly for the nominee
There is Hale declining to oppose Mr. Pierce, on
what he chooses to call personal grounds. And
so throughout the ten categorics of Abolition
But what else does it signify after all, than that
they recognize in the Wings the only National
Union party, and prefer to trust their iactious en-
terprises to Democratic auspices! If the thing
mean otherwise. pray what.

DEATH OF HENRY CLAY.
BY JAMES P. JET.


Dead! can it be the clarion voice
Whose tones so oft have stirred,
And bid the patriots heart rejoice,
Shall never more be heard!
Gone! can it be that eye which flashed
Where duty onward led,
And gazed on dagger, unabashed,
It's beams no more shall shed!
All! that great heart is pulseless now,
Whose throbs earth's ends have felt,
And pale and cold that noble brow
Where thought exalted dwelt-
That stately form to dust Is bowed,
And fled that spirit bold,
Which. like the eagle on the cloud,
Scared where the thunder rolled!
A hero in the cause OF truth
And intellectual strife,
His armor. buckled on in youth
He laid aside, with life
A warrior, never known to dash
Der darkened fields of gore.-
His bright eye was the cannon's flash,
His eloquence its roar!
On Freedoms battements he stood,
For years, a sentry true;
Still watchfu for his country'S good,
When times alarming grew:
And, lately, when Disunion strove
Our dearest ties to sever,
He raised his trumpet voice of love,
AS fervently as ever!
Tho in his breast his native land
Held ever the first place.
: /, ,o,,tl ,x-,lo ox-,on1
And every cline embrace
Throughout the Universe OF God,
No limit could restrain
They flowed where er tyrant trod
Or clanked bondman's chain!
True TO his country and the world;
In genius bold and strong,
Unsparingly his bolts Were hurled
Against despotic wrong;
And when his voice. for freedom raised,
Burst in its thunder tone,
His words like whitening fire have blazed
Beneath the tyrant's throne!
His heart was worthy of his mind,
And felt ''another's wo;'
His nature, lofty, pure, and kind,
TO love, was but to know
His manners. wheresoe'er he moved;
\ magic charm possessed;
And ever was he most beloved
By those who knew him best.
The glorious boon, divinely given,
Is lost within the grave,
His spirit has gone back to Heaven
Unto the God who gave
His fame, spread on his country's page,
Like sunbeams on the sky,
VIII brighten every future age
With light that cannot die!

THE FACT PROVED DEAD Our 1t is
we'll known that just before the Democratic
National Convention, one Robert G.. Scott,
Of Richmond, Va, wrote to many democrats
whose names had been mentioned in connec-
ton with the Presidency. asking them GER
tain questions concerning the Compromise,
the Fugitive Slave law, &c. Among the
rest, it was stated that he had written to
Gen. Pierce. All the others answered the
question without hesitancy, plainly, and to
the po:nt-all except Gen. Pierce. This
circumstance Of course, gave rise to suspi-
cion, and in order to get themselves out Of
an awkward dilemma, the democrats herea-
bouts and elsewhere have been in the habit
Of fatty denying that Mr.. Scott ever wrote
to Gen. Pierce But that chicken has very
quickly come home to roost. The last Her
nando (AIiss.) Press, a democratic paper,
contains letter from the identical Mr.. Rob
ert G. Scott himself, written to Col. George
Footc, of that place in which he distinctly
and unequivocally states, that he not only
did write to Gen. Pierce, but up to the date
of bis letter, (June 30th,) has received no
reply. Memphis Eag. d Eng.
