The Power OF MoNEY.-The greatest
things which have been done for the
world have not been accomplished by
rich men, or by subscription lists, but
by men generally Of small pecuniary
means. Christianity was ~propagated
over half the world 10y men of the poor
est class and the greatest thinkers, dis
coverers, inventors, and artists have
been men of moderate wealth, many of
them little raised above the condition of
manual labor in point of worldly cir
cumstances. And it will always be so.
Riches are oftener an impeachment than
a stimulus to action, and in many cases
they are quite as much a misfortune as
a blessing. The youth who inherits
wealth is apt to have life made too easy
for him; and he Dol grows stated with
it because he has nothing left to desire.
Having no special object to struggle
for, he finds time hang heavy on his
hands he remains morally and spiritu-
ally asleep; and his position in society
is often no higher than that of a polypus
over which the tide floats.

THE CLAY

The great vent Of week before last in New
Orleans (the particulars Of which did not
reach us in time for our last issue and are
now probably too old for the PRESENT. was the
Inauguration of the Clay Statue. 1t is not
to be expected, however, that we will pass by
in silence an occasion OF such Importance
Of such honor and significance to the Imperi-
al City OF the .South-of such pride to the
generations to come--as the placing upon its
granite pyramid (amidst the roar of cannon
and the strains of sweetest music and thrilling
words from eloquent lips) the imperishable
bronze, that the figure, fame and name Of
HENRY CLAY might ever be kept fresh and
green in the hearts and memories Of men,
The day was lovely--buSinesS Of every de-
scriptiOn, even to the loading and unloading
Of vessels and steamboats,, had ceased, in no.
nor of the great Commemorative ceremonies
were grand and appropriate--and at an early
hour thousands upon thousands had filed the
streets, lined the lhoroushfareS and crowded
the balconies, to witness the unvciling Of the
statue and hear lie Grafton that was to follow.
The boom OF the bud cannon, and the louder
''hurrahs!" proceeding from the lungs of the
dense mass of human beings around, gave no
tice that the veil was off--that the last act Of
the conc, ption Of patriotism aud genius was
concluded--and thence evermore. in It's bronze
beauty and durability, defying alike the sun
shine and the storm, would stand there in its
graceful attitude, midway between Royal and
st. Charles Streets the mute but eloquent
representative Of the great Statesman Of the
West.
The account Of the proceedings and ccre-
monies attendant upon the Inauguration Of the
statue, and the speech Of W. II. llUNr, Esq,
(brother of RandaIl,) fills nearly two pages
Of the city journals.
The first idea that occurred to US after gaz-
ing for a few moments on the beautiful work
art above alluded to was, tlat there was
the statue Of whom should stand at
east equally as prominent in the city Of New
Orleans as the one here referred to. Although

r. J. Ryan beg leave to ask a ques-
ton. ! agree and endorse nearly every
thing that has been said tonight, and /, too,
trust that if South Carolina gets out of the
Union it will be ct the point of the bayonet.
My father and mother are buried at Barn
well in that State, and should she secede
from the Union | would go and with my
own hands dig up their bones and bring
them away. But the question l desire to
ask is this Whether those questions were
really prepared by Democrat
Much confusion and excitement ensued
for a moment when Mr. Tanner arose N the
back portion of the audience and said the
question were his and bore his signature.
Mr.. Morton then proceeded / am not sur
prised that my friend, Mr.. Ryan, who is a
very sensible gentleman, should regard it as
incredible that any democrat should ask
these questions.
The fourth question, as you perceive, is

stump speech injected into the body of it.
My friend, Gov. Lane, understands parlia-
mentary law, and I appeal to him whether
I may not call for division of the question
and consider it by sections. Gov. Lane,
who was sitting on the platform, announc-
ed that the suggestion was in order.) To
the first branch of the question l answer by
denying that we accept or expect to accept
"the very principle announced and main
tanned by Stephen A. Douglas" He has no
principle. He started out in 1854 with
something like Popular Sovereignty, and
has ended by admitting the doctrine that
slave property stands upon the same footing
with all other property. This doctrine
will carry slavery into all States and Ter
ritories IN defiance of the people and
Popular Sovereignty.
To the second branch of the question
answer that we have not ''yilifed' Stephen
A. Douglas for his "steadfast advocacy" of 8
principle or for any other cause. He has
been upon all sides of the vexed question
Within the last twelve months he has un-
dergone more changes than the moon. He
has advocated nothing steadfastly but Ste
phen A. Douglas.
To the third and last branch of the ques
ton answer that we do not rejoice in th'
certainty that an honest adherence to oul
principles "will assure the speedy destruction
of our country and demonstrate the failure
of Republican government to the world.
On the contrary we believe our principles t
be those of the Constitution and the Fathers
and that peace can only be restored and tn
safety of our institutions secured, by bring
ing back the government to that ancient
just and liberal policy upon which it wa
founded, and administered for so man,
years.

1t must be evident to every one that our
Canal must at an early day be abandoned.
This is inevitable.
By series of breaks at Prairie Greek IN
Daviess county, the Managers of the Canal
have abandoned all hope of repairing it so
as to convey water from White River TO
Port Gibson. Consequently the only sup
ply which can he relied upon is Pigeon
Reservoir. This, under the most favorable
circumstances, cannot supply the Canal
more than eight months a year. The other
four months it will be what it long has been
an offensive and tcofthless ditch.
Can the Canal he repaired answer
no, because the money cannot be obtained
TO do it, The Managers have already ex-
pended all the means within their control,
/ and cannot reasonably hope to obtain more.
