Another and another testimonial goes to
Mr.. Clay, il. au almost unlaiing success
sion, to demonstrate the respect in which
he is held all over the Union, and to
touch the deep feelings of his heart. The
last evidence of this grateful remembrance
of The services of the American Statesman,
was from the ladies of Troy, to whom
MIR. Clay replies in the following letter:
