ties, without that degree of chillness which
leads to discomfort. a perpetual climate like
that of Saturday, we take it, must be intensely
enjoyable For the sake of our .drygoodsery
people, who are now as busy. as bees, we hope
a continuance of such weather may be 7onch-
safed to us.
The largest political audience that ever as.
sembled, within our recollection, at Washington
Hall, was convened last Saturday evening to
hear Cassius NJ. Clay. twas such an audience
as any man might well beproud of
The responsibility of the city in its essence,
bone and sinew, was there, and ready on his
appearance to greet. him with a burst of APP
plause. He spoke nearly two hours, and to
people who listened with rapt attention. They
greeted every point he made in his review of
the struggles which free labor had made and
maintained against slave labor with enthusiasm.
A sentiment in this community was develop
ed, which politicians and demagogues have af-
fected heretofore to disregard as insignificant
AS he traced the history of their struggles; as
he contrasted the benefits Of the one system with
the evils of the other, as he weighed our con-

who control US and subordinate US in the east
part of the State, the sympathies of the people
gathered more intently upon his kindling words,
and at last gave vent in most hearty and I'M
mistakeable endorsement.
He told our people what he had suffered and
lost in this struggle. He told them of the pro-
scription with which he had been visited for his
attachment to his principles,-and he told them
how that live or die-in. every place and under
all circumstances he Undetermined to vindicato
those principles because he felt they were right.
And his audience said amen in the applauding
stamps with which they greeted these words.
Cassius Clay has many things to be proud of

giles, but always victories-buth he may well rank
the emphatic greeting which he received at
Washington Halllast Saturday night, as among
the chief glories of a well spent life.

Mother, your voice seemed dark and chill.
And your worls made my young heart very cold.

Has IT throbbed even once these fifty years?
Throbbed even once, by some strange heat thaw'd?
1t would then have warmed to her, poor thing,
Who echoed your laugh with a cry!O God
When in my soul will it cease To ring?
