RESPECT TO HENRY CLAY.

Pursuant to public otce, the citizens
sof Elkton met at the Court House on
3Ihursday evening, July lst, 1852, to
stestlfy their respect to the memory of
Henry Clay, and their appreciation Of
Soi his services.
Dr. ], X. B. Emory was called to the

aalluded briefly to the melancholy event
(Which had brought the meeting together
sand to the devotion and purity OF the
l patriotism which the distinguished dead
I chad evinced through long life time
sJohn Cooley, Esq, also addressed the
smteting. He said that though politically
\ differing with the Great Statesman, he
Bcould look back over a life unsul-
Slied with single word against him, who
abv his genius, PATRIOTISM, and devo-
Ation to the public welfare, had made it
ialthe highest pride of every American
ecitizen to call him his countryman.
a Whereas, The citizens Of Elklun have eceiv-
ed intelligence Of the death of the Sage of Ash
land, the iliustrious Clay; and whereas i, is
kproper that they should in public manner give
expression to their sorrow for his DEATH and re-
for his memory: therefore
Pesolred, That in common with the people of
your whole country we deeply lament the loss of
Sthis great Statesman and PATRIOT, whose long
kand evenilu life has been devoted to the adj

Stry.
n Rcsolred, That we will cherish the memory
of his virtues, and hold up TO emulation his
