HENRY CLAY MONUMENT.

The Norfolk Argus, leading Democratic
paper refers in a very handsome manner to
the appeal for contributions to aid in erecting
a monument to the memory of Henry Clay
As our readers have been apprised, the com
mittee in Kentucky have designatedthe Hon.
John bIinor Bolts, Whose appeal we publish
this morning) as chairman of the Virginia
Committee for raising funds.
After declaring its uncompromising hostil-
ity to the political principles and measures Of
Mr.. Clay, the Argus says: 1--WE have al
ways entertained high admiration for the
patriot, and have ever gloried that Virginia
gave him to the world. The magic eloquence
of his words, which held listening Senates
spell bound and the catholic spirit that per-
vaded all his Plans and purposes, endeared
him to US as no other public man ever Was,
save the great Carolinian, John c. Calhoun"
1--WE sincerely trust that this laid to the mon
ument will not be left to our Whig friends in
Virginia No Democrat, we are sure, will
desire to carry his political animosities be
yond that door which closes upon Time and
opens upon Eternity. Not one, we dare be-
lieve, would pursue political antagonist to
the grave, and desire to dig up the remains
and hang them in chains, as England's king
did with the body of Cromwell No; they
would rather act in the spirit of that beauti-
full sentiment of Washington Irving The
grave buries every error, covers all defects,
extinguishes every anim0sity"
This is handsomely said, and we have no
doubt viii meet with a warm response from
every generous mind in Virginia. The gres
men of Virginia. no matter what their party
faith, are her peculiar jewels and she will
preserve their memory with pride affection
and gratitude.
The correspondence between the Kentucky
committee and Mr.. Bolts appeared in the
Mail of this city few days since. Its ma
tional interest entities it to general eircula-
ton. AS Mr. Clay reputation is the proper
ty of the nation, and as the sentiment of ven
Grafton for his memory is not now limited to
parties or localities, but is general and uni
versal, we feel assured that the patriotic
movement to build monument near his
grave will command unanimous approval and
hearty cooperation throughout the Union.
We learn from the Alexandria Gazette that con.
tract has been closed with James Dunlap. of Peters
burg, agent for a Welch company, for 1900 tons OF
iron rails for the Manassas Gap Railroad to be dey
cred in May, June and July next These rails will
be sufficient to lay the track to Strasburg. in Shen-
andoah county. The chief engineer of the couipa-
ny has been directed to proceed at once to the To-
cation of the road from Strasburg to Harrsonburg'
the county seat of Rockingham.

MEssRs EDIToRs-Dear Sirs: Weare very much
surprised since we have had opportunity of hear
ing Messrs. Ashe and Leak. at South w ashington,
to see the announcement of Mr. Leak as Democratic
candidate in your paper. Why, slrs, we have been
used to reading the very same doctrine and argu-
ments advanced by Mr.. Leak in Vine editorials and
Wing speeches for the last eight or ten years
There Is certainly some mistake about It. Wnere
is your proof-reader :?
But here is question in casuistyy If a man has

to make known their business, that in doing so,
private character is not attacked public decency

Mr. Leak is deserving of the title of Democratic
candidate As we said before, it is not right or
our duty to decide in such matters, but simply
to explain our understanding of Democratic prnci-
pies and usages and to show the general understand
ing of the party Tried by these Standards it would
certainly require an immense stretch of the imagi
nation to acquit MIR. Leak Of a palpable abandon
