President Send. n Message.

In the midst of Mr.. Clark's remarks
one or the Presidents secretaries an
pedreo IN the chamber with a message
instantly there was general laughter
ana MT. Clark convulsed the House by
aeciaring: 1T Is cold day when the
president does not send a letter ar
message to somebody"
Mr.. Clark's remarks were hailed
with shouts of Democratic applause
and shrieks of laughter on both sides
or the chamber. AT times some OF the
Democrats arose in their seats and
wildly manifested their delight in his
utterances. He took his seat amid a
demonstration seldom witnessed on the
moor of the House. The demonstration
was so great that the business OF the
House was temporarily suspended. The
entire Democratic body and many Re-
publicans surrounded Mr.. Clark and
shook his hand and extended congrat-
ulatIons.
In conclusion Mr.. Clark said: rn
the Impending conflict I summon every
Democrat In all this broad land to SER
vice under the Democratic banner and for
Democratic rinciples--principles which
the immortal Jefferson enunciated, which
the heroic Jackson upheld, and which
are as dear to the hearts OF the people
this day as they were century ago.
Fighting under that banner and for
those principles, We won fourteen pres
idential elections out of thirty, and
can win again and again, TIL we drive
the Republicans from every place of
power, thereby restoring the govern
ment to the safe, wise, wholesome and
patriotic policies OF the fathers-a con-
summation devoutly TO be wished"
