we notice with infinite pleasure the eff
fort that is now being made in the City of


Philadelphia to erect public monument to


the statesman and intellectual giant of the


age. This tribute of respect is not the work


of the wealthy and influential alone. but the


humblest citizen contributes his mite to


express in this public manner the senti-


ments which he 50 ardently and honestly


feels. How different is this manifestation
OF respect to Henry Clay to :he barren
hearlless yells that are sent up for the Press
ident elect. The image of the former is en-.
shrined In the hearts of his countrymen.
whilst the latter is but the ridiculous head
and tool of faction. We predict that in
less than half a century the monuments of
Clay will crown every bluff and grace eve
ry bend of the giant Father of Waters,
whilst the name of Polk will live only in
he minds of men from his connection and
opposition to this statesman and ornament
4 his country We applaud the present


nderIaking and feel confident that il Will
effect not only honor on the projectors but
Iso on the distinguished Sculptor. Powers. ,
no is employed to effect it. :
