ciRRRAnaai,
To theq6licted teido,c and Others Of the 5ereaUed
family Of Mr.. Clay:
The Almighty Ruler of the Universe governs
all created things, By immutable laws. Hence,
Gods gifts cannot be permanent, but the Lord
giveth and the Lord taketh away" Jeho 7ah, in
his infinite goodness, created man. That man
he gave unto the world as the champion of uni
versal liberty, INTO the American Union and the
people Of this glorious Republic as defender of
Its constitutional rights and protector of their
civil and religious liberties; and unto devoted
family, an atIectionate husband, fond parent
and Jealous guardian. And although an admir-
ing world, an adolizing nation, and those who
bore the tenderest and most endearng relation
ships toward the departed, could it avail, would
have said 10 the enemy of mankind, spare HIM
sever not the vital cord that binds to us, bea-
con light, national safeguard and beloved re-
lation;" yet the fiat proceeded from Heaven, the
laws of nature and omnipotence were observed,
and Henry Clay fell beneath the sword of time.
He has passed from the scene Of his terrestrial
trials and triumphs, to one of celestial ease, un
ending peace, and infinite glory. While we
are taught that God grants boons and revokes
them at his will. we are sho gn that He wounds
to heal and lacerates to restore to soundness.
He has implanted in our bosoms holy feeling
of gratitude and reverence. that enables us to
say, yet blessed be the name of the Lord. =
Let the bereaved family and afflicted consort of
Mr.. Clay, remember that in the midst of their
bereavement and affiiction they can find consola-
ton and hope. They can derive consolation.lrom
the fact that not only do the intimate friends Of
the deceased share their great aud pugnent ago
ny at his death, bat the prayers OF nation, Of
almost every soul beneath the armament Of in
teligent christendom, are united with theirs, in
behalf Of a calm. peaceful, and unbroken rest
for the spirit of him who has departed They
can find hore in the promises Of The great God,
whose dispensations are inscrutable, for the
Eternal One has provided means whereby the
father and child, the brother and sister, the hus-
band and wife, shall be united hereafter in tho
regions of paradsian blissfulness and bonds of
iaseparable union.
Yes Clay has gone TO join the throng of illus
trious sages, immortal patriots and all venerated
men. who surround the throne of Jehovah,
and unite in paying unceasing devotion to him
who has given to world, TO nation, and TO
host of friends. aud taken from them the la
ment ed dead-whose name & fame will contin
ue to live and TO be handed down from gcnera-
tion TO generation, until the dawn of eternity.
Peace to his soul consolation to his widow,
and perpetuity to the memory of HENRy Clay!
O~g- The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer makes the following pithy
remarks
e The Presidential question is butlittls talked
about; It is generally conceded that soup" is
below par, as nutriment, and that g chowder"
has re" in the northern market. It IS now
not doubted. that if The paFer was again pre-
sented to Gen Scott for donation of small
amount to help erect a monument to General
Jackson, that he would give, say fifty or seventy
i've cents, Notwithstanding Congress in 1886
refused TO put him on the inra'id pension list.
Gen. Scott has given evidence at least twice,
hat he is man of more tact and discretion,
than many Of his Wing friends have given him
credit for. First. he saved his life BY refusing
to fight duel with Gen. Jackson. and second, !
he has determined to save his Office of Major
General, By not resigning it, anticipating his
election to the Presidency. For both these acts
he is entitled to great credit for discrimination
and foresight; ga bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush.'' PHILO.
GEN. PIERCE By wHIe.-The following, says
the New Hampshire Patriot, is an extract from
a letter writer from this town, by New York
whig, to friend in Albany, and published in
the Albany Argus. The portrait of Gen. Pierce
is very truthful one, except that he is not 81
man of property" in the usual acceptation Of
that phrase. It would be we'll for the public,
and all worthy enterprises and benevolent OBJ
iects, if he was:
