A Nation IS in Tears!
DEATH OF HENRY CLAY!

The telegraph brings us the unwelcome
but long expected intelligence that Henry
Clay is dead. He departed this life at about
IL o'clock A. NJ, on yesterday. The States
man, Orator and Philanthropist is no more
He who has aided much to strengthen the
silken cords of our Union, has been callet
from amongst us
Great men have fallen and the nations tears,
Have marked the utteronce OF their solemn grieii
Their loss deep felt mid sombre gloom appears,
And pcnt up sorrows find in vain relief
Aye, and none greater than him whose dealt
we now record-though he was not sur
rounded at the time of his decease, with the
members of his family, yet he died not among
strangers, for his name has been as house
hold word for the last half century, and his
virtues like his name known and spected by
all. He needs no eulogy, and we desire tC
give none. The past is the guarantee o.
his future fame, and as long as genius, virtue
and patriotism shall command respect anc
admiration, so long shall his memory be pre-
served amongst men.

GEN. PIERCE AND THE STIcK OF CANDY
Says the Louisville Journal:-Frank Pierce
is now fifty years of age, and the great event
in his life commemorated by his eulogist
Governor Steele, as exhibiting his character
in a more ilustrious light than every thing
else that he ever did, is stated by the eulogisl
to have occurred something more than twen-
ty years ago. that is, when he was not quite
thirty years old. He was elected to Congress
just twenty years ago, in 1882, and we pre-
sumo that the accident happened when he
was electioneering for himself, and when OF
course he found it expedient, like most other
Democratic candidates, to be very liberal
and even profuse in his expenditures. Al
such time, and under such circumstances
the aspiring candidate beholding and afflicted
youth in the street, and conscious probably
that the eyes of Governor Steele and scores
of others were upon him and aware that now
he had an opportunity for signalizing himself
by one bold and almost desperate act OF
magnificetice, screwed his courage to the
sticking point, and (be it observed we use
the language ofGov. Steele)"pm his hdnd in
his pocket, dreto forth a cent, bought a stick of
candy, and gaUe tito the boy, although the boy
irds total stranger to him.
"And this, freemen of America, is set forth
by one Of the most distinguished of General
Pierce's friends, who has known him init
mately from his boyhood, as the most hon
orable and praiseworthy deed of his whole
life! Then hurrah for the cent and the stick
of candy! Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah for Gen
eral Pierce, the cent, and the stick ofcandy!
Throughout the coming Presidential conflict,
every Locofoco orator will shout aloud the
story of the cent and the stick Of candy,
every Locofoco banner and Transparency
will be emblazoned with pictorial represen-
tations of the cent and the stick of candy,
and each man in every Democratic process
sion will strut proudly onward, bearing os-
tentatiously in one hand a cent, and in the
other stick of candy"
