After pleasant ride amid the beau
tiful and fertile fields Of Kentucky, l
am once again safely ensconced in this
beautiful spot which was SO long the
abiding place of Henry Clay, and now
is the residence of that noble son Of
fame aud honor, John c. Breckenridge.
To know him is enough to prove the
scholar, gentleman and statesman who
will fill the Office OF vice president by
by virtue Of the election on Tuesday
next. lie is all the party could wish
for ar champion OF their principles,
He commenced life poor aud friend
less-his parents being dead. lie be-
gan life asa teacher of a common
school, and through perseverance and
hard study he entered upon his collie
ciate course with the avails Of his own
labor. Al this period OF his life a
wealthy uncle became interested In
him, but upon his avowal of democrat
ic principles the bond Of friendship was
severed Yet the young and aspiring
genius struggled on, and finally gradua-
ted with the highest honors OF his class
AS an orator, he combines the clear
and comprehensive soundness Of a
Webster and Clay; and in connection,
has beautiful and flowery style OF
expression, and copiouf supply Of
words OF the most elegant and refined
character. To use the expression Of
a ncighbor Of his. when he opens his
