but it is supported by hundreds Of thousands
Of gallant mea. When the feryii orators OF
the South describe to the people what sacri

homeward from Washington in 1853, "light-
ed all the way by the fires Of his own burn

Nigh man leaned upon him in one of the
greatest moments Of his life as the one stul
wart champion who could yipdcate his
honor and set him right before the country !:
how Clay, in his gigantic efforts for the sue

relied upon him as an ardent and eloquent
supporter and how true he has ever since re.
mained to the principles for wh0h he then
contended their enthusiasm knows no

Mr.. Thomson in the enterprise. Many of the
Stockholders have subscribed u the new fund for

men, including DR. Fowlkes interest ed in the great
work. have a>sembledin Washington to consult with
members OF Congress who are willing to accom-

The result ia, the most pc, eel agreement between
