CASSIUS nj. CLAY.

What the Colored Race Owe Him.
To the Editor of Tie Evening Star:
A recent letter from Kentucky friend
has recalled the long life and great services
of of that states most eminent sons,
Cassius NJ. Clay. My friend says:
Gen. Cassius M. Clay will be ninety
years old on Friday next. the 10Th instant,
having been born on October 10, 1910, in
the house in which he now lives, though it
has been greatly enlarged and improved.
He graduated at Yale College when he was
eighteen years old. in 1928 He was a re-
public->n before any of the living or dead
republican leaders. and gave more time and
money than any of them to give liberty to
the slave. He periled his life as few men
have ever done upon the battlefield He
was fearless in the advocacy of his princi-
Piles and met danger with Roman courage.
1.-The colored race owes him a debt of
gratitude, and they should erect monu-
ment to him in the capital city. Appeal to
them to testify their appreciation and graf
itude by rearing monument to this heroic
defender of their rights at time when 1t
was dangerous to speak out.
Gen. Clay is well. though, of course,
declining"
1 had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Clay
speak during two presidential campaigns
In the decade known as the 40s. Each ms
the address was made at Erie, Pa, and he
was entertained at the home of a friend
of mine who was an anti-slavery whig.
At that time I was young democrat, but
more less annoyed by what seemed to
me an inexplicable anomaly-slavery exist
ing under a free government.
Mr.. Clay'S fine personal appearance and
forcible eloquence, with the many heroic
incidents in his public life, gave him a
large audience always and respectful at
tention. l remember that he said in one Of
his speeches that usually or at least fire.
quently, when he arose to address the peo-
pie of his state on the slavery question he
first drew his pistols and laid them on the
table or desk in front of him as an indica-
ton that he was ready for that sort of logic
If any Of the audience preferred it, as &C.
casionally they did
At another time in rehearsing an incident
of the kind that grew out of his position on
the slavery question, he said that during
the fight his knife was knocked out Of his
hand and his little son, twelve years old,
who was standing by. picked it up and
handed it to him. saving his life thereby.
OF course all this was intensely interest,"
ing to northern audiences accustomed to
fair play and the peaceable discussion OF
public questions. The anti-slavery advo-
Gates of the north, however, did not al
ways have plain sailing. but the oppose
ton were generally satisfied by hurting OPP
probrious epithets and rotten eggs.
trust that the eo,ored people of this
country will accept the suggestion of my
friend about the monument: and this is the
city to start 1t, where many of that race
are educated and public spirited
