Nar We publish to-day the speech delivered
by the Hon. Presley Ewing, of Kentucky, in
the House of Representatives, on the 18th day
of February.
After what we have said, it is unnecessary
for us to say that the main and leading points
of Mr.. Ewing's speech do full justice to the
question which he discusses, and full justice to
the memory Of Mr.. Clay. Inspired by right
and honesty alone, we have tried to do the
same thing. But if we have failed, the failure
must be attributed to our weakness, and to oul
weakness alone.
Our purpose is to do ri ht-our deter
mination is to do right; but yet men may diff
fer with us as to what is right We cannot
prevent that, and we would not prevent it if We
could
But the positions which Mr.. Ewing takes dc
honor to him. He follows the lead of his own
good judgm mt; whig as he is, he commands
our respect and applause.
Perhaps some narrow-minded, straight-laced
journal may censure US for this declaration
Let it do so, and we will snap our fingers in it,
face. When the time comes that the Wash
ington Sentinel cannot do full, ample, ano
complete justice to an honest political adversa
ry, then it must change hands or die.

MRS. MOWATT.

We are gratifed to learn that the health Of
this distinguished lady has much improved at
the south, and that she is playing brilliant
engagement in Charleston, to fashionable and
crowded houses. On its close, she proceeds to
Baltimore, where she is to play one night at
Miss Laura Keenes theatre; and commences an
engagement at Philadelphia on the 18th of
March. Afterwards she will fulfil several en-
gagements at the west, and play farewellp per
formances in New York and Boston, before
taking leave of the stage. She has been COM
PEELED, we regret, to decline an engagement
rendered her at the National theatre, and will
not appear again in this city. While Mrs
Mowatt is deighting her audiences at the
south, her charming autobiography is delight
ing her readers everywhere. Eight thousand
copies Of this pleasant book have already been
sold, and the demand is increasing.

STATUE OF THOMAS JEFFERSON.

The Richmond (Va.) EUening Bulletin says;
IA long delayed act Of Justice to the memory
of one of the most sons Of Virginia,
is now likely to be consummated. Yesterday the
house of delegates passed bill which author
ises the governor to contract with Gait the
sculptor, for statue Of Jefferson, to be placed,
when done, at the University of the State, and,
furthermore, appropriating $4,000 towards
the object. As the bill had previously passed
the Senate, and was carried through in the
House without amendment, it may be regarded
as the law Of the land"
