Mr.. Clay expressed favorable opinion Of
the head, as giving his features with great truth
fulness, but playfully remarked that he did not
know before that his nose was quite 90 promi-
nent; and then added, in allusion TO the great
intrinsic value of the medal from its material,
"Who can tell, but fifty or hundred years
hence, some Goth may get hold Of this and say
the nose of this old dead fellow will serve to buy
me great many things that want, and may
carry it off? However, it is a capital likeness,
| think" The artists, said Mr.. c., have not
generally succeeded well in taking my features,
but that has been in great measure, my own
fault; for my face never retains long the same
expression, and, especially whenI am under any
excitement, it changes every moment. John
Randolph once paid me high compliment, not
Observation-Disclosures he seldom complimented any
man but, without intending it, he paid me what
| esteem one Of the highest compliments / ever
received He said that whenever a debate is
coming on, il could get sight of Mr.. Clay's
face, can always tell which side he is going to
take.
This transition from the grave to the gay is
so characteristic of Mr.. Clay that no one who
has seen him in his hours of confidence, can fail
to be reminded by it Of many an association that,
while it kindles smile, will be followed but
too soon by sigh.
The medal does the highest honor to the tai
ents and skill of the artist, who, we understand
is Mr.. Wright, of New York.

picked, but only think what is right to do
in The sight Of Him who sceth all things
and bear without rcpinins the result. When
your meals are solitary, let your thoughts
be cheerful when they arc social, which is
better, avoid disputes or serious argument

golden dream Of youth and pleasure; per-

WASTE OF THE PUBLIC TREASURE.

From all able speech delivered in the
Senate, on the Goth ultimo, by our Senator,
Hon. w. I. DeSaussure, we extract the
subioined remarks. They were made in
opposition to the bill making appropria.
tions for the Improvement of certain har.
bors and rivers" and he has presented the
views which South Carolinians have for q
long time held on this subject in a very
strong light-vews which all men opposed
10 Capitalization and in favor of State rights
must cordially sustain:
Let any one look at the map Of this
country now, and compare it with the map
twenty years ago. Why, if you had shown
it to a stickler for internal Improvements by
the Federal Government twenty years ago,
and prophesied to him that in August, 1852,
lie would find the State of Massachusetts
covered, as the map now shows, all over
with Il network of railroads-the same of
the State of New York, the same of Penn.
sylvana. the same of New Jersy, and so Of
Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas Georgia
and Alabama, besides the western States
and told him that all this would be accom-
piished by individual! capital, with the aid of
the State treasures, in twenty years, he
would have laughed ycu to scorn asa false
prophet. lie wouldnot have credited that
it was witha the capacity Of the people, or
The fiscal resources Of the State to effect
such gigantic undertakings, at the expense
Of SO many millions, and especially within
so short a period; and therefore he would
perhaps, have gone with the internal i'm
provement gentlemen for resorting to the
Government Of the United States for aid.
Now, in what situation would this country
be if we had undertaken twenty years ago
to construct all these railroads BY the hands
of the Government, instead Of leaving
them to the States and the people9 Ia9
