kKErINo MS Vow.-When Henry Clay
was nominated for President, one Of hi.
ardent admirers. in the excitement OF the
canvass, threw down his hst and declared
that another should never cover his head
nor should scissors, knife. or any such
thing touch his hair until Harry Clay was
fairly seated in the Presidential Chair -
He has kept that vow inviolate, and does
not believe himself relieved Of it even
when the Object Of his admiration lies un-
der the sods Of the val ey. We saw him
Yesterday. his long tangled locks drifting
about his honest, weather beaten face,

hard labor before him. but though his age
