Mr.. LTNCoLN'S EULoGY ON HENRY
CLAY

While few of the pretended follower.
of Henry Clay are leaguing with his life
long traducers to perpetuate the degraded
rule OF the Democratic party. it is refresh
ing to read the touching tribute of Abraham
Lincoln to the 'Gallant Harry of the West. -
paid on the occasion of the death of the
latter. We give an extract
t.On the 9TH day of July. 1776. the PEG
pie of few feeble and oppressed colonies
{ of Great Britain. inhabiting portion oil
the Atlantic coast of North America, pub
liely declared their national independence,
and made their appeal to the justice of their
cause, and to the God of battles, for the
maintenance of that declaration. That peo-
pie were few in numbers, and without re-
sources, save only their wise heads and
stout hearts. Within the first year of that
declared independence, and while its main
tenance was yet problematic-while the
bloody struggle between these resolute reb-
els and their naughty would be masters was
still waging-of undistinguished parents,
and in an obscure district of one of those
colonies, Henry Clay was born. The in
FAINT nation and the infant child began the
race together. For three quarters of CEN
fury they have travelled hand in hand
They have been companions ever. The ma
ton has passed its peril, and is free, pros
porous, and powerful. The child has reach
ed his manhood, his middle age, his old age,
and is dead. In all that has concerned the
nation the man ever sympathized, and now
the nation mourns for the man.
''But do we realize that Henry Clay is
dead Who can realize that never again
that majestic form shall rise in the council
chamber of his country, to beat back the
storms of Anarchy which may threaten, or
pour the oil of peace upon the troubled bill
lows, as they rage and menace around
Who can realize that the workings of that
mighty mind have ceased-that the throb-
bings of that gallant heart are stilled-that
the mighty sweep of that graceful arm will
be felt no more, and the magic of that elo-
quent tongue, which speaks as spake no
other tongue besides, is hushsd-hushed
forever? Who can realize that freedom IS
championship champion of a civilized
world, and Of all tongues and kindreds, and
people, has indeed fallen Alas, in those
dark hours of peril and dread which our
land has experienced, and which she may
be called TO experience again-to whom
now may her people look up for that coun-
ell and advice, which only wisdom and ex-
perience and patriotism can give, and which
only the undoubting confidence of nation
up. reeeiye?
s'Dut Henry Clay is dead. His long and
eventful life is closed. Our country is
prosperous and powerful; but could it have
been quite all it has been, and is to be, with
out Henry Clay Z? Such man the times
have demanded, and such, in the Provi-
dence of God, was given US. But although
his form is liieless, his name will live and
be loved and venerated in both hemispheres.
For il is
lone of the few, the immortal names,
That were not born to die"

ought TO be duly chronicled. Charles Hud-
son OF Petersburg, Va, more than sixtx
years of age, has been sentenced to eighteen
years Imprisonment in the penitentiaTy. for
beating bis slave TO death on the last Fourth
of July. The fact was mentioned at the
time. The atrocity of the act was fully
brought out in the evidence. 1t was proved
that on the morning of the Alb of Jul,, at
8 O'Clock, ore of the hottest DAYS of the past
summer, Hudson stripped The woman ms.

her to persimmon tree, and whipped her
for three consecutive hours. with occasional
inttrmissions of few minutes, until he had
worn to stnmps tifty-two switches, and that
the bark of the body of the tree was rubbed
smooth and greasy by the attention of the
body of the victim. The ground around
the tree for seven or light feet, though it
had been freshly piowed, was trodden hard.
One witness testified that he heard distinct
". at The distance of six hundred yards,
both the noise of the switch and the screams
and entreaties of the woman. The poor
creature was buried the same afternoon only
some ten inches beneath the ground, in a
rough box, without any shroud.

THE DROUTH.

As efforts have been made to give po-
litical asst to the representations of the drouth
that have been made by a portion of the
Territorial press and people, by charging
them with having been gotten up for polit-
ical effect. we publish below several articles
relating thereto, from the most responsible
political and Religious resources. confirm
ing the worst that has been said upon the
condition of our people
The charge that these stories have been
circulated for partizen ends, cannot be ex-
celed in business. 1t is heaping insult up
on an injured people. already driven to the
verge of desperation.
The following is from the Leavenworth

HOMELESS.
BY a. P. N.

Sitting and weeping all the day.
Seeing the ships go down the bay,
Watching the waves that climb the shore,
Climb and fall back, and nothing more
Finding so soon that life is sad,
Finding so soon that men are bad,
Weary of life from self disgust,
Fearing to live from self distrust,
Seeking for what he cannot find,
Knowing that he is weak and blind,
Waiting for that which will not come
A heart to love him, and a home.
Sitting and weeping all the day,
Seeing the ships go down the bay,
Watching the waves that climb the shore
Climb and fall back, and nothing more
Symbol of what his life has been,
Climbing and falling back to sin
Father of love, shall his efforts be
Forever like the waves of the sea 2

THE MoRMoNs WILL NOT BUDGE.-Not-
withstanding all the talk about the emigra-
ton of the Mormons to Mexico, to South
America, or some island of the Pacific, they
evidently consider themselves permanently
fixed in Utah. They were never more ac-
tive in making improvement than at present.
In every settlement they are erecting sub
stantial buildings for council houses. courts,
schools and meetings, and are establishing
numerous grist and sawmills, iron foun-
dries and machine shops. a few miles {, ON
Salt Lake City, Brigham Young is said to be
planting nursery of million trees, which
he calculates will yield him in zen years as
many dollars. Work on the great temple
has recommended, and the edi6ce is TO cover
an area of 1850 feet. It will require a
half century fully to complete iton the ORR
ginal plan.
The chief result of the war upon the Nor
mons has been to stimulate enterprise and
business in the territory, and 10 transfer
some hundreds of thousands of dollars from
the federal treasury to the private Golfers OF
the saints. The subsection of the Mormons
to the authority of che general government
is no nearer its accomplishment than it was
before. Either directly or indirectly the
Norman elders have their own will. IN spite
of courts and armies. And the plague OF
polygamy has not been touched. The prob
lens of Mormonism, therefore, remain to
be solved, and they do not offer prospect
of easy solution Under Douglas territor-
ial sovereignty principle polygamy cannot
be reached by the general government. and
it is very serious question what can be
done with il under any theory. Il is one oil
those evils that cannot safely be tolerated
and that no one knows how TO abate. But
it is matter Of imperative necessity that il
shall be met and settled In some way at once
Delay only increases the difficulty.

SEAsoEABLE ANEcDoTE.-Many years ago
there was scarcity of grain in Norwich,
Connecticut. and man of family applied to
the miller for the purchase of a grist; but he,
like others nowadays. was disposed to
avail himself of the general dearth for bis
own gain, whereupon the applicant cursed
him.
Cursing was in those primitive days an
indictable offence. Tie delinquent was
summoned to appear before one Squire Hyde,
to answer. AT the time specified he was
there. with a Bible in hand, to encounter
the plaintiffs counsel, who very eloquently
described the enormity of his offence, ar
raging statute and precedent against him in
the most conclusive manner. Nothing
daunted. the defendant met the law with
gospel, beginning with The text Cursed
is he that withhoIdeth corn from the poor"
II did curse him, and curse him again.
The Bible curses him, and now, Squire Hyde
do you curse him, for one of your curses is
