The more we look into the history and char
acter of this truly great and good man, the more
are we convinced ofhis claims upon the American
People. To his towering genius is to be attrbu-

greatness as he is emphatically the father Of.


Long after the ephemera politicians Of the present
day shall have passed away and sunk into an eter-
nal oblivion, will the name Of the Patriot Clay be
associated with every thing good, great, and glo-

mer and the loom will recall his memory to the
patriotic and intelligent; and the hardy yeomanry
of the country, they move along the canals,
with their own boats, laden with the produce of
their own farms, will hail with enthusiasm the
name of Henry Clay; and the merchant, he
is whirled rapidly homeward on some railroad
with his goods, will read his fame in the monu-
ments on which he rides. But let us go little

not, as Martin Van Buren, contending for the
British in the last war, but we find him in the
halls of Congress, contending for the principles
of those revolutionary patriots who watered with
their blood the tree Of Liberty! The bare men
ton of the name Of Clay, at this day, enkin-
dies in the soul ofthe Patriot glow Of the proud
est enthusiasm.-Cape Girardeau Patriot.
