n5- The funeral oosequies TO the
memory OF Henry Clay took place in
New York on Tuesday last, and is rep
resented as having been the most impo-
sing demonstration which was ever
made in that city. All business was
suspended, the stores all closed, and the
public buildings, and very large mum.
ber OF private houses, &c, were bcauti-
fully decorated with the cmblems Of
mourning. The military and civic pro-
cession was yery large, and extended
seven miles. II passed through some OF
the principal streets TO the Park, where
an eloquent Grafton was delivered by
n. b. Blunt, Esq, to an immense au-
dlence; every one present listened with
the most intense interest TO every word
which was uttered. This dcmonstra-
ton OF the people plainly indicated what
strong hold the distinguished dead
had, while living, upon the affections of
the people, In life he was beloved by
millions in death his memory is rever-
cd in ali lands, and by all people. May
his spirit ever hover over US, as an in
teTsessory angel Of light!
IFWe take the following paragraph
from report Of u Democratic meeting
which was held al Dedham, Mass, on
Tuesday, rs published in the Boston
Journal:-
Gov. Lawrence Of Rhode Island, was
Introduced and made quite long
speech upon the usual topics. In the
course OF his remarks he alluded to the
different candidates before the National
Convention. He spoke OF one who in
military reputation lel little short Of the
Wing canuldale, and who had eXertcd
no lll,Ic influence III adding HE lGHe

Chief Marshal Of the day, upon this,
called out ''lhrce cheers for Gov. Mar
cy OF New York" The spcakcr inter
ruptcd him, and said he did not mean

Il VI Ultlh DOln lOIcIncf-tWO orr 0tIr
men never lived" Aud the three cheers
were given Mr.. Lawrence advocated
Pierce rs an intimate friend Of the I'M
mortal !. w. Dorr." In conclusion, be
thought it not uilikcly that under pres
cnt circumstances P.crcc would get Mas
sachusctS and all the New England
States. lie could see no possjb COLI
,ingcncy winch could prevent Pierce
from getting the electoral vote Of his
(Air. Lawrence'sl own State. This, ho
thought, would &c the case, on account
OF the local questions which divide The
people Of Rhode Island.
We do MOI exactly understand the
closing part OF the ahDvc article. What
IN the world docs Gov. Lawrence mean
by saying that he sees no possible col-
tlngcncy 10 prevent Pierce rom getting
the electoral vote Of NeU York, on nc
count o! the local questions which dl-
vide the people Of Rhode Island? The
Governor must have been unusually
nervous or absru;-niudcd when lie
made these remarks.
