THE Democratic party was never
defeated at any National election
when it was united and in good
condition. With Hancock all divis-
ions are healed, and an overwhelm-
ing victory awaits it in the fall. 1t
is no longer a question whether New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana will vote the Democratic
ticket The question is a still more
serious one for the Republican par
tv and it is this: Will Illinois and
Pennsylvania be saved to Radical
ism this time or not! General Nc
Clure, of the Philadelphia Times
says that Pennsylvania is as certain
for Hancock as Ohio is for Garfield
Hon. Lyman Trumbull says that
the ticket will sweep Illinois.

With mourniul glory falls.

Upon which we love TO gazr,

A Story of CLAW.

Here is an anecdote told by my father,
says a correspondent to the Philadelphia
Times, who was great admirer of Clay's
and who was an eyewitness to the scene
1t has never appeared in print, at least to
my knowledge, and for its truth 1 can
vouch. When Henry Clay ran for the first
time for Congress he was billed to address
an assembly in the open air. A vast crowd
had convened to hear the young orator, and
among this crowd was one Jim Burnim, a
rough, with an unenviable reputation and q
great personal enemy of Clays, owing to
repeated defeats sustained by him from Clay
in his political aspirations.
When Clay bad commenced his address
Burnim placed himself directly opposite him
in the crowd and annoyed the speaker con-
tinually by interruptions and personal
remarks, but chiefly by Kissing every good
point Clay produced No matter how
smooth and lucid his stream of oratory might
be or how forcible his argument, Burnim
| was ready at the finish with his insulting
hiss. This continued until Clay could stand
it no longer and when, after particularly
pungent thrust at the morality of the anti.
Federalists, be was greeted with the undom.
liable silent howl of Burnimis, he turned
savagely to him and with flashing eyes deliv.

Satan, glowing in his crimson majesty, shall

Rev. j. E. Arts filled the pulpit of his
church last Sunday. The meeting began at
ii o'clock, but as is customary for the COL
ored churches, the congregation was very
small to begin the services. This hardness
upon the part of the members is a deplor-
able feature, and it is one that does as much
to weary the pastor as almost anything else
When will our people become so habitual as
to go to their respective churches in time
even to hear the text. / shall venture to
say, that there are but one. third of the peo-
pie, calling themselves church members,
that go to the churches soon enough to hear
the text of their ministers This is sad to
contemplate, but yet, it is a fact too well
known by each pastor of each church in the
United States.
The pulpit of the A NJ. E. Church was
filled by Rev. Chambers, of Charlestown.
Ind. He preached one of the most practical
and interesting sermons to which had ever
listened. He stated that many members of
the churches were so comingling with the
world, that there scarce could be discerned
any difference between them and the world
The most interesting incident in our city
this week, was the speech of Hon. Geo. w.
Williams, of Cincinnati. Ohio. This gen.
tleman is an orator of the rarest kind. He
held his audience, of about 1000 persons,
spell bound. for about the space of two solid
hours; and at the close they seemed not
wearied. After the speech, in the copious
Court House, Hon. Williams, and McCary
of Indianapolis, were serenaded at the Grand
Hotel, and were called out to address q very
large audience, from the balcony of the
Grand. These addresses were we'll appreci-
ated, as our daily, the next day, spoke in
glowing terms of both speeches. Cincinnati
should feel proud of the possession OF this
wonderful orator and statesman-Hon. Geo.

Hon. Williams at his room in the Grand.
Each once was introduced to the Hon. gen.
tleman by Rev. Robert McCary. One can
scarcely fail to see at glance, that Hon.
Geo. Williams is a very close student-espe-
cially of law. Cincinnati can produce no
