Loss OF THE CLAY .MEDAL.-The splen-
did medal recently presented to Mr.. CLAY
by the citizens of New York, Which is said
to have cost $500, has been lost, and we
think it probable will never be found. 1t
was entrusted by Mr.. CLAY to. Miss LYNCH
of New York, to be delivered 10 Mr.. DAN
TEL ULLMAN. MIR. CHARLES BUTLER ac-
companied Miss l.. TO New York, and took
charge of the medal for her. He placed ii
in his carpet-bag which he keptin the cars
with him and carried it in his hand when
changes were made on the route. When
he arrived at New York the carpe!-bag was
placed on the hack by the drivers side, and
left the foot of CORTLAND street thus situa-
ted. When the hack arrived at Miss
LYNcH's residence the bag was gone and
the hackman could give no account oft
1t has since been found, rified of its con-
tents. Mr.. BUTLER had offered TO have an
other medal made at his expense, but the
donors having already ordered one, his Of
fer was declined.
Mr.. CLAY fasetiously remarked, while
examining the medal, after the ceremonies
of its presentation, that some Goth, in after
times, might cut OFF his massive nose, think
ing it would purchase him great many
good things. The Goths of Gotham have
not waited for after times there can be nc
doubt that the Elegant Clay Medal is now
melted down to an unsightlY mass.

o. The Legislature of California appears
to be running the same career as the U. S.
House of Representatives, and both furnish
striking illustrations of the natural tenden-
cy of Democracy" when it has full swing,
A late California paper says the Legislature
had been in session six weeks, and, besides
electing United States Senator, had done
nothing that had not as well been left un-
done, and that no measure had even been
discussed that looked to higher end than
the gaining little personal popularity or
notoriety by individual members. There
are about seventy-fve Democrats and IF
teen Wings in the Legislature, and "the
majority will do nothing lest it be unpopu-
lar, and they will not let the minority do
any thing lest it should bespopolar.'

ails, BUCHANAN. s

! This gentleman having received the nom
inaton for the Presidency BY the Demo
cratic Convention of Pennsylvania ms
! chances for The Baltimore nomination are
thought by some to be better than those Of
any other aspirant but a large portion Of
the party still seem bent on his political de.
struchon. Should he be the nominee, the
Wings will have no trouble in The canvass
as all the speeches and electionecring doc.
uments against him are already made tc
, hand. Senator, DOUGLASS, with not q little
indelicacy, has authorized denial of the
statement that he had consented to throw
his strength into the BUCHANAN scale; and
ga Virginia Democrat" in the Southern
Press, takes the old gentleman to task be-
cause in his late Baltimore letter, he refers
to all the great political questions OF the
day, except the tariff. This omission is
said to be natural, bat rather ominous.
That Baltimore letter has been the theme
for much comment on the part OF the press.
Mr.. BUCHANAN takes occasion IN 1t to al
ludc to the public expenditures, and says
"'rhese expenditures have now reached the e
nornous sum Of fifty millions Of dollars per annum
and, unless arrested in their advance by the
strong arm of the Dehhctacy ofthe country, may,
10 the cosrse cfa few years, reach one hundred
millions
What could have caused him to forget that
the fifty millions of expenditure are owing
to the policy of Mr.. PoLk's administra-
ton, of which he was a conspicuous
member. and that ''theaDemocracy" have
had large majorities in Congress for years
past and voted these very expenditures, we
are at loss to know. Perhaps, however.
the depression of spirits he experienced at
the time, had the effect of impairing his
memory, for it was in the same letter that
he gave vent to his feeling as follows
AT rightly read 'the signs Of the times there
! has seldom been period when'the Democratic
party of the country, to which you and are warm
ly attached. was in greater peril than al The pres
eni moment"
This is very gloomy. But lest any one
should be unduly cast down by it, we give
the following extract from a letter of Gen.
CAss, to the young men of Baltmore, only
promising that the General is blessed with
highly sanguine temperament and thought
the prospects particularly "brigM"- previ-
Gus to the last Presidential election:
"The political prospects are SO bright that they
cannot but add TO the social pleasure of the even
! ING for the decree has gone forth that the next
/ administration of the General Government must
be IN the hands Of the Democratic party"
In view of this discrepancy, the, New York
Ereaing Post leading Democratic paper,
asks the question, care we jolly, or are we
not" -.

Hobensack's Liver Pills.

No part of the system is more liable to dis
ease than the LiUer, it serving as filterer to
purify the blood, or giving the proper secre-
ton to the bile so that any wrong action of
the Liver effects the other important parts OF
the system, and results variously, in Liver Com
plaint, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, &c. We should,
therefore, watch every symptom that might in
dcate a wrong action of the Liver. These Pills
being composed of Roots g. Plants furnished by
nature to heal the sick: Namely, lst, An FIR
pectorant, which arguments the secretion from
the Pulmonary mucus membrane, or promotes
the discharge of secreted matter. 2nd. An Al
ternatiUe, which changes in some inexplicable and
insensble manner the certain morbid action of
the system. 3rd A Tome, which gives tone and
strength to the nervous system, renewing health
and vigor to all parts of the body. 4th, Cath-
