how he had removed from Kentucky to
near the Hermitage, il Tennessee. where
he bearded the lion in his den. He spoke
Of his long devotion to, and admiration for
his father.
Mr.. Clay answered by saying that Gen.
Leslie COMBS had once, as Chickaslw
Ambassador, also bearded the lion in his
den.
This expression, which some bvslandcrs
supposed ocular, WAS regarded rs an Of

meant to insult him. Clay disclaimeI such
intention.
The interro5atory WAS r"reated, with Il,
same reply, but wac accompanied With III,
menacing Use of Cullom's finger. whei
lay said that he was not accustomed to b.
addressed in such threatening manner, o.
words to that effect.
Culom became more excited. under I'll,
conviction of an in,ended insult TO him
and denounced Clay as the aposla.e son .

ious reference to have been made by Clav

Clay called an Senator Johnson, of Ar

Harpcrs Magazine.

We have received this valuable Monthly
for March, and f ID it. as usual. filed with
the choicest things Of the season. All.
who cannot find in Hsrpers Monthly much
to amus,. instruct. and entertain, must be
blessed with very unenviable taste; its
immense circulation is a sufficient guaran-
tee Of this.
We cannot forbear to notice, just here. a
little circumstance, which exhibits some
thing of the characteristic meanncss of the
New York Tribune. and how it is they are
enabled to furnish so much reading matter
on such liberal terms. The Harper Bros.
have procured, at the expense of $4,000,
protf- sheets Of VIM. Thackaray's great
novel, entitled tho "virginians." which
they publish regularly in their Monthly
Magazine, in advance Of its publication in
London. The Tribune, ever on the look
out for such a speculation, catches i. Up,
and reprints it upon tie Harssrs. as fas.
as it is issued by them; but being aware
Of the extreme meanness of such an act,
especially. since they have always been the
advocates ofan International copy ight law,
they advertise to publish the "virgiDians'
from early sheets received by mail from
England The Harpers. suspecting the
falsi Of this announcement, and that. iii.
stead, they copied directly from their Mag,
azue, practiced little ruse upon them,
which showed satisfactorily that their sus
picions were correct. They made some
slight verbal alterations from the origina
copy. and what WIS most strange, the Tri
bune had the same; they repeated this III
the second number, and lol the Tribune
did likewise. Greedy could perhaps ex
plain this marked similarity by some spir
itualis,ic, or mesmeric influence, commu
nicating from mind to mind; but until h'
does this. the public will be compelled t.
believe that the Immaculate Tribune ha:
been guilty offalsehood. thsft, and breach
of all courtesy and privilege among mem
bers of the press.
