HEAR HENRY CLAY.-Looking over Cotton $
private correspondence of Henry Clay, lust
published, we noticed the following paragraph
in letter addressed by him in September,
1S49. Some of his friends now at the Capitol
might profit by the advice:
q After three weeks, Mr.. Cobb, of Georgia,
a Democrat, was elected Speaker, and it was
90 much more important that the House should
be organised than that whether Whix or Dem
ocrat should BIO chosen, that was glad an
election was made. Nothing of importance
has yet been done in Congress-"

jarring between the pro and anti slavery men, and
might in great measure makes right there, and
consequently a mans life is at a low price. 1

jackson county Mo. off his claim near Lawrence,

raised in that county to renstate him and if neces
