Our correspondent 'AFRsEND OF INTER
NAL IMPROVEMENT" discusses question of
grave and growing importance to the PEG.
pie of Virginia. We have not given the
subject sufficient consideration TO say,
whether the stringent obligation he would
impose upon railroad companies would in
all respects work well; but we entertain
at present decided impression that the
future general benefits resulting from the
adoption of such law would immeasura-
bly, surpass the Inconvenience resulting
to companies. If the debt Of Virginia
could be concentrated within her own
borders. ii would scarcely be debt at all;
because the Distribution of the appropria-
tons creating the debt would be among
her own citizens, and they would thus
be furnished with abundant means for
meeting all the drafts. the State would
make upon them. 1t would be but the
Continual turning over Of the same fund
a very different thing from sending out OF
the State and out of the country these i'm
mense sums. England affords a striking
illustration ofhow easily an almost meal
culable national debt may be borne. when
its own subjects are the creditors OF the
Government.
The eject that snch a system. as that
recommended by our correspondent
would have in building up manufactures
and developing the natural resources OF
the State cannot be overestinaied. Capl-
tai and skill from other States would seek
employment among us, and we might at
no distant day reasonably expect to see
establishments. such as now abound in
England, and the North. acquiring SO
strong lodgement,as to be able hereafter
to stand and prosper without such aid
We again express our con, lotion that the
matter is one Of much importance and we
therefore invite to it the consideration OF
our Statesmen and Legislators.

Henry Clay.

As the career of this eminent statesman
draws near its close, the fogs and mists
which political detraction had .accumula.
ted around him dispense and melt away,
90 that in clear sky and with lustrc un.
obscurcd he deccnds to the horizon of life
IN q sunset Of splendor. A Democratic
journal, the New Orleans Courier, thu,
speaks Of him:
Henry Clay now belongs to history
and his fame to his country. From one
end Gifts broad territories to the other. he
has not q single enemy. Throughout his
long and illustrious career he has been the
advocate and champion Of freedom, and
Of those great principles of law and oder.
withou, which liberty has no stability and
no guarantees for the reposc Of society.
The opposition to Mr.. Clay. so long and
60 steadily made by the Democratic par
ty, must not be mistaken for a distrust of
his patriotism or want Of admiration for
his great and generous qualities. 1t was
exclusively political, growing out ola diff
ference Of opinion on matters concerning
the administration of our govornmeat-
our home policy.
His reputation and his fame are as much
cherished by our party,as the other. And
no American politician could now make
an attack on him. without, being condemned

thus speaks Of what was done:
"The Convention was large, and its
proceedings were marked by spirit of

The speeches were all to one point. show
ing feeling of harmony which speaks
well for the future. Upop the Presiden-
tial question, there was but one express
sion Of opinion. and that was the submis-
sion of ali private and personal preferences
to the voice Of the National Convention.
To this course each speaker most heartily
gave his consent. and added his earnest
