death, had to wrestle thmngti a period of sickness
with its power, aud ut length to bo overcome by
it.
Oh. il little knew what an interest it had created
in that home where it was so passing a visitant, nor
when carried to its early grave, what a tide of e.
motions it would nise nu.mig the few acquaint*
aliens it left behind it • On it, too. bap'ism was im
pressed as a seal, and as a sign it was never falsili
ed. There was uu positive unbelief in its bosom
—no love at all for the darkness rather than light
—nor IimiI it yet fallen into that great condemnation
which w i'l attach itself to all that perish, because of
unbelief, that their deeds are evil.

of its little period expired ; we cannot think w<.

persevere in the faith and in the following ot the
Gospel, and that very light will again shine upon
him in heaven. The blossom which withered upon
its stfi'k. has been trui splanted there to a place of
endurance, and it will then gladden the eye which
now weeps out the agony of mi affection that has been
sorely wound j and in the name of Him who if on

which have no hope, but to take comfort in the
thought of that country where there is no sorrow

Satin day was indeed h grand, n glorious day,
Tlte sun ut Ilmven never wore a kindlier aspect.
The atmosphere wus mild und balmy, and all na

MR. CLAV’- RECEPTION.
Mr. Clay arrived on Friday evening at 7o’clock.
He wus met about half a mile from town by a
enmities* throng, including Cupt. Stith’s Cavalry,
Captain Lucas’ Infantry, und the Committees of
Rei'i'piinti. nud escorted tu the huspiluble mansion
of Guv. Morehead. where he remain* during his
sojourn with ns. On alighting from the Cars, Mr.
B idger addressed Mr. Clay must felicitously in*
very few remarks. Jo which lie re-ponded with
i qual brevity. Ihe Salem bund then struck up
tlieir inspiring notes, und the line of march was ta
ken up for Mr. Clay's quarter?. Although neatly
tinrk every dour, window and balcony in the street*
were crowtietl with the lair sex, who welcomed the
illustrious guest with every demonstration of joy.
On reaching the Governor's house, the crowd re,
tired, Iruving Mr. Clay lu enjoy an uuioteirupled
night's rest.
THE procession.
On Saturday, tlte Procession was fnrmpd at
Capital Square tihout 11 o'clock, in the order here,
tnl'ore published whence it moved to the Govern*
ni’s h.atse. Mute Mr. Clny was received in an
open L uleuu drawn by four grey horses, nudes-
coned to the C»| ili|l. where a tinge plultornt had
b am constructed to accommodate Mr. Clny, the
distinguished guests, und the Committees of ltecep*
lion.
MR. CLAV's SPEECH.
When Mr. Clny mounted the Platform, when
liis vissnge wus first rc.cugiiizcd, then burst forth
sik'Ii u cheer of welcome, so earnest, so enlhiisiui*
lie. so livmuntlous. tliut Mr. Cmy was ulmnitl un
manned at >uch u manifestation oi popular gratitude
mill affuctinn. Thera was but one heart in that
v t-t tis-eml.lago ut mule und iemule—for woman
wus there to adorn the scene, and lend her sanction
to tlm honors conferred and Ihe principle* repre
sented.
About five minutes Und elapsed. Mr. Clay asccn*
tied the rostrum, when Gov. Morehead ruse, and in
u Itritii. hut very happy Speech, introduced itim to
• lin ocean ot upturned faces wliiclt surrounded Itim,
titled tlte immense urea before and ubout him.
The feelings of Mr. Clny upon tlie delivery of (hi*
address, were plainly depicted in liis noble fnce:
Grateful fur this public manifestation uf a generou*
people’s cnnlidctiee, his cuunteniince betrayed I huso
I’ttioiiii'is which under similar circumstances, would
be displayed by every noble spirit. But soon did
the //uu heart subdue emotion* » hich in others leu
gifted with self-cominund, would have prevented
utterance. We Imvo oil hand a sketch uf his re*
minks, "o f»r ns it wit* possible tu commit them to
paper, lull we despair, utterly despair, of describing
ins vigorous uigimients, his fervid eloquence, or
glowing imagery. Hi* mind seemed lo pervade
me assembly—to control llieir sentiments, passions,
hopes and h ats. The mural elements around ap
peared us if chained to his will, and subject to any
shape that hi* purpose hud desired. There was
not one determinate opinion, without its corre*,
p.indent effect—nor one light sally, without it* play,
iul response. The grave, deliberate sentiment
would lie mirrored in the seriuus aspect of th*
crowd, und tlie profound opinion was nut without it*
e.lmrm, nnd the lighter and more airy suggestion
was never wanting in dignity. At one lime a (or
ient of regent reasoning would hear along, as with
iu>i-tless energy, the solemn convictions of the**,
und then u piny of lighter reeling would
spread the pleasantry ufllie heart’s bright sunshine
upon each countenance. There was tho thunder
und lightning of the gnihored elements, but ever
above •.hem appeared, in glowing serenity, the
chnnitfiess rainbow of pure und holy promise. It
wn* iiuf-mnro the depth of M'. Clay’s sentiment*,
than hi* mag uiiiiintiy, tliut delighted the vast audi.
lory who heard him. It was the generous feeling*
of the speaker, which at) interested nnd thtilled the
va-t assemblage. Diffusing his spirit nver the
who'o country—kindling ut each shrine ofgloriou*
recol action—preiiding the veil of charity over the
onimusilittx and errors of the past—penetrating th*
uni ril'd future, he presented liis country, his whole
country, encompassed with tlm w arm affection* of
his Knot, in the guidance of that Almighty hand
where protection mill safety cun alone be found.
In this lii.'li attitude. Mr. Clay stood, through all the
lending sentiments he uttered. It was his cuuntry
her pride, her glory, her Impel and fears, that
were the file and soul, and pervuding spirit of his
ulnquotce. And tho spontaneous burst of appro,
button that followed ibis speech of two hour*, show
ed ttinl political prejudice, lor a time at least, had
>nst it* hold upon tlte heart. We find ourselve*
iiuithlw nt pnbh*li Mr. Clny s remarks in this paper,
hut will endeavor lo Ituve them writteu out in tint*
for our next.
On the termination of Mr. Clay’s Speech. Mr.
Budgei introduced to him Mis* Harris, of Granville,
wto visited Urn City fur tlm express purpose of
pre-eifing him with a Silk Vest pattern, wrought
hv her own tuir hand*. Tlm reply of Mr. Clay

fell from him before.
