The Lexington (Ky.) Observer" notices the late
celebration of Mr.. Clays birthday in the city Of New
York 1t remarks, that "letters from several dstin
suished senator's were Crttenden, Morehead
Clayton, Barrow, Simmons, Mangum, and Corwin-
who expressed their regret that the importance Of
their present duties prevented even temporary alb
sence The Hon. Joseph L. White, member Of
the 9th Congress, presided, and after series of
appropriate toasts had been disposed Of delivered
eloquent and stirring address, The distinguish
ed orator announced that, lin regard to the
next presidential election, 1t was his purpose to
consult DurY only, eschewing policy and erpe-
disncy-to ask not who cum be elected but who
ought to be-and in the discharge Of his duty to the
nation and the man best fitted preside her des
