Ode to the Statue Of Henry Clay.
The following ode written by Geo.D.P Prentice, wa
ING at the Inauguration ceremonies Of the Henri
lay Statue on the Both ult:
Hsill true and glorious semblance, hail
OF him. the n0biest Of our race
We seem at lifting Of thy veil,
TO see again his living face
To hear the stirring words once more,
That like the storm gods cadence pealed
With mightier over from shore TO shore
Than thunders of the battlefield.
Lol that calm, HIGH, majestic look,
That binds our gaze as by spell
1t is the same that erst-whiie shook
The traitors on whose soul II fell
Oh that he were again in life!
To wave as once, his wand OF power
And scatter far the storms of strife
Tha. DER our country darkly lower
Again. again. and yet again
He rolled back passions roaring tide
When the fierce souls Of hostile men
Each others widest wrath defed.
Alas alas dark storms at length
Sweep DER our half-wrecked Ship OF State,
And there seems none OF VIII and strength
TO save her from her awful tate
But thou, majestic image, thou
Wilt in thy lofty place abide,
And many manly head will bow
While gazing on a nations pride;
Ard while his hallOwed ashes lie
a far beneath old Ashland's sod,
One ,yaze at thee should sanctify
orr hearts to country and to God.
We look on thee, we look on thee,
Proud statue, glorious and sublime,
And years as If by magic flee
And leave us in his grand old time
Oh he was born to bless our race
As ages after ages roll
We see the image Of his face
Earth has no image OF his soul
Proud statue if the nations life,
For which he toiled through all his years,
Must vanish in our wicked strife
And leave but groans and blood and tears,
If all 10 anarchy be given.
And ruin all our land assail,
He'll turn away his eyes in heaven,
And DER thee will be cast thy veil?

of New York decidedly disapproves and con-

head of the late bloody rebellion, believing
him guilty of unparalleled crimes against
his country and humanity, and a decent re-
gard for the patriotism of the people, for the
sacrifices of the war, and for sacredness of
justice, required that he should be detained
in prison until tried for bis crimes
ResOtoed, That there is nothing in the
action of the Hon. Horace Greeley relative
to the bailing of Jefferson Davis which calls
for any proceeding on the part of this Club.

olutious Various members INDUCED in
comment on the proceedings as they passed
out OF the building, one remarking that
jeff Davis ought to be condemned to wear

him as a servant.
