JULY u, lo55. HSAI'Di'-
C.ssIus VI. CLAY TRIUuPukST.-Thc citi-
zens of ROckcaStle county, Kentucky, at a
meeting held on the lth OF July, resolved, Is
our readers are already aware, ." that Cas>lus
VI. Ciav, John &. Fee, and all other Abolition
speakers, must desist from speaking IN that
county" G. VI. Clay'S answer to the commit
tee who were appointed 10 give him notice of
that resolution, was, that he and MI Fee should
both sneak at Scafiold Cave, in that county,
on Saturday last
Theykept tina, appointmen,,and were heard.
There was some difficulty about getting the
church, as there was an appointment for
sermon by the Baptist clergyman IN the morn
iar. Ii was however, surrendered 10 MrC!ay
at the close of the service, and at II o'clock
John G. Fee commenced speaking. lie con-
cluded his remarks without interruption, and
was followed by Mr.. Clay. Both Spea6e rs,
were listened to at,enlively, and 10 violence
was offered or talked Of.
The object Of all these threats, it seems
now difficult TO conceive. The people OF
Rockcastle county certainly knew Mr. Clay
too well 10 suppose they could lntimltate Slm.
The only conclusion we can come TO IS, that
they meant at the time the threats were made
10 keep them. but have yielded to the superior
physical and moral courage of Mr.. Clay

To Cas.ius M Clav on his noble Vindicaton Of
the Right OF Speech
To thee our highest thanks are due.
Whom men of lofty soul admire;
Brave Champion Of the right and true,
With nerves of steel, and soul Of fire,
Ave, with your noble friends unite,
The poor misguided mob TO teach,
How sacred is the freeman's right
Our fathers glorious right OF speech.
Heed not the whizzing rife ball
Heed not the cleaning Bowle-knlte .
Sound loud the mighty trumpet-cail
Til buried Freedom springs To life.
Let manly Reason have fair play!
Let Truth roll onward in It's course.
Let ruilian King-CanutcS give way,
Or perish by the surSe'S force.
Up, freemcn Of the glorious South,
Whose noble SircS old Marion led,
Shall padockS seal patriots mouth
Above the graves of heroes dead
All hail, We men who dare to think
All hai!, We men who wont be slaves,
Let owls that IN the sunshine blink,
Seek refuge in their darksome caves.

that town for nearly fifty eight years. For
a newspaper, this is a remarkable age. 1t

Justice of the State, was one Of its early
