These works are splenddly and beautifully
gotten up. and almost as much credit Is
due to the government for its fostering
spirit in their publication, as to their learned
authors. We will not give the credit OF these
publications to the present administration,
for it is not their due. Indeed. 1t would be
| exceedingly hard to say i'll what respect this
admins tration has done anything Tor the eie-
walton, honor. and glory IF the country
Heaven be praised that we are going to have
another, which it is thought, by no possible
chance, could be as bad.

There are probably not half dozen copies
! of this book in the Union, or in South Caro-
| lima 1t is or should be an extremely useful
book for those who have property ready for
| reclamation. Tie book contains a list of
more than so, 0O0 names of persons who are
entitled TO more or less property, at present,
unclaimed but amounting in the aggregate
to nearly 5OOOO,O 900 or S25O,OOO,O00 in
England alone. In India it amounts to
s366 900, or 81, 100000.

An original letter from the immortal and
| ever glorious Henry Clay, to Monsieur F. J..
Pecantet of this city, in regard TO his defeat,
in the Presidential contest, then just termi-
mated so mnch to lis expense and to tie dis
grace of the majority triumphant. 1t was in
response TO one of Nov. 10. regretting his de-
feat in warm terms. 1t breathes spirit of
so much genuine modesty, equanimity under
reserve, and nobleness OF spirit, that we must
publish it entire:

20 express my gratitude for The generous sen
timents of respect and admiration that you

any reproaches on account of the issue of a
popular election, with which my name was
associated. l ought, ON the contrary, to be
thankful for the many proofs which my coun-
try has given me Of lis esteem, at different
eEochs; aud to be satisfied with the conscious
ness OF having. in all situations, faithfully
sought to perform my public duty. Should
history arigu to notice me, l have no fears
that it will pronounce a different judgment.
l am, with great respect,
Your obcdient servant.
