J.U. CHAPMAN,of Maryland,
President of the Whig Motional Convention.
To Major General WixmiD Scow.
Tin Os ill J’latform of the' Whig Motional Con
tention.
The Wiiros or TUN United States, in Convention
assembled, firmly adhering to the great conseva
tivo Republican principles by which they arc con
trol!!: 1 and governed, and now, as ever, relying
upon the intelligence of the American people, with
an abiding confidence in their capacity for sclf
governmeut, anil their continued devotion to the
Constitution and the Union, do proclaim the fol
lowing as the political sentiments and determina
tions, for the establishment and maintenance of
which their national organization as s party is ef
fected :
1. Tiie Government of the United States is of a
limited character and it is confined to the exercise
of powers expressly granted by the Constitution,
ado such ns may be necessary and projier for
carrying tho granted powers into full execution,
and tha’. all powers not thus granted or necessarily
implied are expressly reserved po the States res
jiectively arid to the people.
2. The State governments should be held se
cure in their reserved rights, and the General
Governmentaiietalned iti its(Constitutional powers,
and the Union should lie revered and watched
over as “the palladium of ourliliertiea.”
■i. That while struggling freedom, every where,
ciilisls the warmest sympathy of the Whig party,
■we stilt adhere to the iloetrinos of the Father of
hi* Country, as announced th his Farewell Ad
dress, of keeping ourselves tree from all entang
ling alliances with foreign countries, and of never
quitting onr own to stand upon foreign ground.
That our mission as a Republic is not to propagate
onr or impose on other coutitrica our
form of govoi'Oßiont, by artifice or force, but to
leach by example, uml show by onrsuocess, mode
ration and justice, tho blcesinj{s of self-govern
ment ami tlio advantages of free institutions.
That where tin- people make and oontrol the
Government, they should obey its I'onstitution,
laws and treaties, as they would retain their self
respect, ami the respect which they claim and will
enforce from foreign powers.
5, Governmentsnould bo conducted upon princi
ple* of the strictest economy, and revenue sufficient
tor the expenses thereof in tune of peace, ought to
be mainly derived from a duty on imports, and not
from direct taxes; and, in levying such duties,
sound policy requires a just discrimination and
protection from fraud by specific duties, when
practicable, whereby suitable encouragement may
be Hr—ii rcu to American industry, equally to all
classes and to all portion#of the country.
5. The Constitution vesta in Congress the pow
er to open and repair harbors, and remove obstruc
tions from navigable rivers; and it is expedient
that Congress shall exercise that power whenever
mich ini /in” emsnte arc necessary for the common de
fence or for tho protection and facility of commereo
with foreign nations or nmong the States; such
improvements being, in every instance, national
arid general in thoir cliaraMer.
7. The Federal and State governments are parts
of one system, u'.ike necessary for the common
prosperity, peace and security, and ought to lie re
garded alike, witli a cordial, habitual and immova
ble attachment. Kespoet for tho authority of each,
and acquiescence in tlio constitutional measures of
each, ure duties required by the plainest conside
ration* of national, of State, aud of individual
Ural fare.
ri. The sbrio* of Acts of the Slst Congress, com
monly known ns the Compromise or adjustment
(the act lor the recovery of Fugitives from labor
included,) are received and acquiesced io by the
Whigs of the United States ns a final settlement in
principle and stibstauee of tlio subjects to which
they relate, and so fur as these acts are concerned,
we will maintain them und insist on their strict
enforcement until time and experience shall de
monstrate the necessity ol' further legislation to
guard against tlio ovaslon ofthe laws on tlieouh hand
and the abuse of their powors on tho other—not
impairing their present ctiicicncy to carry out the
requirements of tito constitution; and wa depre
cate till further agitation of tlio questions thus set
tled us dangerous to our peace, uml will discounte
nance all efforts to continue or renew such agita
tion, whenever, wherever, or liowovor made; and
we will maintain this aettloihont as essential to tlio
nationality of the Whig party and tha integrity or

Letter of Hen. Scott in Iteply.
Washinukon, June 24, 1852.
To tha Honorable .1. G. Ciiai-man,
President of the Whig Motional Convention.
Sur 1 have had the honor to receive from your
hands the official notice of my “ unanimous nomi
nation its the Whig candidate for tho office of Pre
sident of the L'nitodStates,” together with “a copy
of tho Resolution* passed by the Convention ex
pressing thoir opinions upon some of the most pro
minent questions of National policy.
This great distinction, conferred by a numerous,
intelligent, and patriotic body, representing mil
lions of my countrymen, deep into my hoart,
and, remembering tho very ominout names which
wore before the Convention in ninioablo competi
tion with inv own, l am made to leel oppressively
the weight 'of responsibility belonging to my liew^
having written a word to proouro this dis
tinction, I lost not a moment, utter it lmd been
conferred, in addressing a letter to ono of your (
members to signify what would bo, at tlio proper
time, the substance of my reply to tho Convention,
ami 1 now have the honor to repeat, in a more
formal manner, as the occasion justly demands,
that 1 accept tlio Nomination with the Resolution* j
annexed. , , ~ ,
The political principles and measures laid down
in tx'oso resolutions are so broad that blit little
oft for me to add. I, therefore, barely suggest, in
t his place, that should 1. by tho partiality of my
countrymen, be elevated to tlio Chief Magistracy of
t he union, 1 shall bo ready, in my connection with
Congress, to recommend or to approve of mea
sures In regard to tlio management ot tho public
domain, so as toseeuro an early settlement of tho
same favorable to actual settlors, but consistent
nevertheless, with a duo regard to the equal rights
of the whole American people m that vast Nation
al inheritance ; amt also to recommend or approve
a single alteration in our naturalization laws, sug
gested by my military experience, viz., giving to
nil foreigner* tho right of citiJWU*Mp who Hhall
faithfully serve, in time of wur, one year ou board
of our public ships, or in onr laud loroes, regular
or volunteer, ou their receiving an honorable ws
cliurgo from the sgrvioo. , .
In regard to the general policy of tho adminis
tration, if olooted, 1 should, of course, look
nmong those who may npprovo that policy tor the
mrents to oarrv it into execution, und 1 should seek
to cultivate harmony and fratorual sentiments
t hroughout the Whig party, without attempting to
reduce its members, by proscription, to oxnot con
formity to iny own-view*, llut 1 should at the
Mime time, bo rigorous in regard to qualifications
for other -routining and appointing no one, either
deficient ill capacity or integrity, or in devotion to
lihcriv, to the Constitution aud the Union.
Convinood that liarmouy and good will between
tlio 'different quartan* of our broad country is en

under the strictest restraints and necessities.

c o'clock this morning the venerable patriot and
1 statesman, Jlenry < 'lay- of Kentucky, breatlied his

been for three days past so extremely low as to be
scarcely able to converse with his son, or his pas
tor, the Eev. Dr. Butler, but no further visible
change was observed in his condition until a few
moments before his death. His physicisn, Dr.
Hall, was then summoned, but before he arrived at
■ his bed-side he breathed his last, no one being

Governor Jones, of Tennessee, and Mr. Calvert,
the proprietor of the hotel, who, with hit fiunily,

Hi* last moments were calm and quiet, and • he
seemed in 101 l possession of all his (acuities, appar
ently suffering butspghtly. He did not speak for
several liourabefore his death, bnt his countenance
indicated a happy resignation and (till knowledge
of hia condition. He had long since made every
preparation for death, and given his -on full in
structions aa to the settlement ofhis worldly affairs
and the disposition ofhis body after death.

place some days since, and will probably be made
public by the few distinguished friends that were
present, after his remains have been consigned to
the tomb. It will be looked for with much interest.

thrown a gloom over the whole city, and the stores
jus closed and the houses in the principal street#

Th« Funeral of Mr. Clay.
The subjoined very interesting account of the
funeral ceremonies, over the remains of Mr. Clat,
which took place at the Capitol on Thursday laßt,
wc copy from the National /nttUU/encrr of Friday,
the 2d instant:
Tub Fitnhul.—The last rites have liccn paid
to tho lamented dead. The public honors decreed
by tiie Semite to tho remains of its illustrious mem
ber have been duly rendered: and most truly limy
it be added tlmt no funeral honors have ever be
fore more sincerely expressed tho public sorrow.—
it is due to the memory of Mr. Clay to say,that of
tho mauy distinguished men who have ended thoir
jives at tho seat of government, and whose stations
and virtues claimed for their ashes every mark of
respect, there has not been one at whoso obsequies
tho public heart has been so deeply affected. The
foaling of every one seems to lie as though he had
lost g poraonal friend; indeed, for hardly any other
nubile man was the sentiment of affoction ever so
universally blended with that of boundloas admira
tion. Who without emotion ever heard uttered the
name of “ tho gaJlaut Harry Clay,” and in what as
sembly was it ever uttered that three cheers.did not
spontaneously and instantly make the welkin ring i
« sutosnvM!, ret friend to truth! of soul sincere,
Os action faithful, and in honor clear !
Who broke no presume, serv’d no private end.
Who gained no title, and wbo lost no friend:
ftuioWed by bimretf, by ail approved,
Praised, wept, and honor’d by the Uad he loved.
As one of the most ardent and eloquent advo
cate of civil liberty which our country has pro
duced, his death will b* want by the votaries of
freedom all over tho world. Throughout his own
country it Trill be felt as having left * void among
its great men which the present generation cannot
expect to bise flUcd. , 4 .
The obsequies wpro conducted yesterday, agree
ably to the form prescribed by tuc Committee of
x Arrangements of the Senate,
The procession left tho National Hotel, the place
of Mr, Clay’s late residence and decease, between
eleven and* twelve o’clock, and moved iu sihmee
towards the Capitol. There were no carnages in
the procession, nor iu thatmrt of the avenue along
which it passed. The coffin containing the body
of the deceased was borne upon a car appropriately
draped, and drawn by grey horses, the whole be
fitting the deeply-felt solemnity of the some-
Festoons of moumiug lined the buildings of the
avenue on each side, to au extent, we believe, not
before witnessed on any similar occasion.
In the procession, which was escorted pv two or
three of our military .companies, were the members
of the Senate of the United States, and many dis
tinguished officers of the civil, military, and naval
department* of the Government, togat her with the
Chief Municipal Officers and Corporate bodies of
Washington and Georgetown, and of the city of
Baltimore. A larga attendance of private citizens
also testified their profound rcapept and revereuce
for the noble dead by uniting in the procession.—
The Preside ut of the United States, Members of
the l abinct, and the Diplomatic Corps, had already
prooasdfd to the Capitol, in order to occupy their
respective places in the Senate Chamber.
Whiu the nrojossioa arrived on the area before
the east front orch« Capital, and during the per
formance ot a solemn raquiem, the coffin was re
moved from the funeral cur, and borne up the steps
of the Forttao. carried through th* Eotundo, and
reared i» the Senate Chamher. As nni»h of the
procession *s«n»ld be admitted within the chamber
entered, but a considerable portion was necessarily
exulndad, Intelligence having been givsn to the
House of Benreaeutatires of the arrival ot the
corns* in the Capitol, the Members proceeded in a
body, with the bpeakcrat their head, to the Senate
Chamber, where they remained during the funeral
service. This eras conducted according to the
forms of the rrotesttat Church u> which
Mr. Clay wa» attached, by the Kcr. C. M. Butler,
Chaplain to the Senate, who concluded with au im

I of the Honse returned to their liall ami adjourned.
■ Tha corpse was then removed from tiic Senate
! Chamber to the eentre of the Kotundo, uuder the
i immediate charge of the Marshall of the District
! of Columbia and hia assistant*. Long before this
I time thousand* of our citizen* had collected in the
{ Kotundo, the Halt of Representatives, and elac
, where about the Capitol, to be in readiness to be
hold for the last time the well-known visage of the
$ deceased that when the coffin was brought
; to its position in the Rotnndo, tbe rush was lm
' mense, and none but the most'persevering could
bring themselves to encounter the jostling and
pressure that ensued. It i* to be regretted that
arrangements had not been made winch would
have afforded greater facilities than those adopted,
for an orderly and quiet, though of course rapid
glance at the features of the admired and beloved
dead.
About half-past three o’clock the corpse, escorted
by the military, and followed by a multitude of
people, was removed from the Capitol to the Rail
road Dejiot, and there placed in a car, in charge of
the Senate Committee appointed to accompany the
remains to their final resting place in Kentucky.
Solemn silence prevailed amongst the spectators
as the train departed for Baltimore, where itarrived
at six o'clock, having on the way passed through a
heavy rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Ita arrival at the outer depot of that city was an
nounced by the tiring of minute gnns, which con
tinued whilst the military and civic procession,
which was there formed, slowly proceeded with its
sacred freight to the Merchants' Exchange, in the
Kotundo of which the body was placed for tha
night, under guard of a military company.
The crowds attending the procession were un
liaralleled. and so dense that the column with diffi
culty proceeded on its course.

fore 9 o’clock a rocket from the vicinity of Gray's
Ferry announced the approach of the train of cars
from Wilmington, with the remain! of Mr. Clay,
accompanied by the Congressional Committoc of
Arrangements, a committee from Wilmington and
a number of gentlemen from Baltimore. The
firing of minute guns from various points was im
mediately commenced, in accordance with previous
arrangements, and all tho bells in the city com
menced tolling, in responao to the booming of the
cannon.
At 9 o’clock tho train reached the depot, when
the remains were taken in charge ami jiluced on
the niaguiflcout funeral car in waiting, under the
direction ofthe follofiringdietinguishcugentlemen,

Dallas, Col. James Page, Mayor Gilpin, Dr. J. K.
Mitchell, Pc.er McCall, Dr. Win G. A. Birkcv, S.
H. Perkins and Wm. Muntz. The car was than
moved into line under the csoort of the First City
Traop and the Washington Greys, a largo number
of torch hearers boing properly stationed, affording
a good view of the sarcophagus containing tho re
mains, to the many thousands <>l s|>ectatois.
The procession wa* then formed under the di
rection of Major Peter Fritz, as Chief Marshal, as
aisted by the following aid*—Gen. John Bennett,
Col*. Jail. Fairlatnb*, Ambrose J. White, F. Curran
Philpot, John West, Maj. Wm. Thorp, Dr. S. C.
Hunting, Sam’l S. Kellv, John S. Painter, David
Moore, Geo. W. Hasty, 'Daniel Bcidcmiui, Edward
C. Bonsall, Josiah J. Stratton, Jas. 11. Manning,
aud Samuel Allen.
At about half past 9 o’clock the procession com
menced moving headed by tho Washington Greys,
witli their fine Dand performing a funeral dirge;
next followed the funorolcar, the City Troon flank
ed on either side ofthe street as a guard or honor,
and the pall bearer* and torch bearers, stationed
by the side of tho car. presenting a grand aud
mournful spectacle. The Congressional and other
committees followed in barouches flanked by torch
hearers. »s were also the corporate authorities of
the city and districts, who followed ncxHit order.
The Whig Associations with their bannors, num
bering several thousand, with a largo number of
torch and flambeaux bearers, presented a tine ap
pearance.
There were also forty companies of Firemen in
line, dressed in citizens ilres*, with banners and
torches. The citizons in line not connected with
associations, were also very numerous, marching
ten deep, and bearing an immense number of flam
beaux and torches.
The cavalcade of horsemen was very large, and
was by no means the least imposing portion of the
proeesaion, the glare of tho torches having a fine
effect.
When the procession commenced moving, Broad
Btroet, from Pine to Market street, o distance of a
mile and a half, was one donse mass of people,
whilst the liouaes were thronged with people.
Most of the houses along the line of procession
were appropriately decorated in mourning, tings
were suspended at half mast in great numbers,
appropriately draped.
The City Councils provided three thousand torch
es, and tlie firemen had out all their own torches,
besides lanterns and transparencies with mottoes
honoring the lamented dead. The uniformity in
the dress of the firemen, and tlieir exact move
ments, with their banners craped, added much to
the attraction* of the pageant. Indeed the whole
procession formed a most imposing sight, there
being it is supposed, not less than ten thousand
men inline, requiring more than an hour to pass
any given point. It will long be remembered by
all who witneesed it, as a touching token of res
pect to the great and good.
During the inarching of the procession the firing
of minute guns was continued, and tho bells in
all sections of the city continued to toll.
The line of march was up Broad street from the
depot to Walnut street, down Walnutto Nintli-st.,
up Ninth to Chestnut, down Chestnut, to Fifth,
down Fifth to Walnut, up Walnut to the main en
trance iuto Independence Square, and thence to
Independence Hall, in the eentre of which a mag
nificent cenotaph had been erected, on which the
remains are deposited. The Hall has also been
draped in mourning in the most tasty manner, to
remain so for six months by order of tlic Council*.
The Washington Greys then took tlieir post inside
the Hall as a guard of honor, the remains to be iu
thoir charge so long as it continues within it* hal
lowed preeiuot*.
The nineral car was much admired, being drawn
by six black horses, led by grooms.
Independence Square, when the head ofthe pro
cession reached it was brilliantly lit up with bon
fires, and thousands of ladies hail congregated in
side its walls to witness the postage of the proces
sion, which was undoubtedly tlic most brilliant
pngeunt ever witnessed iu this city.
The stores ofthe city lind all been closed from 8
o’clock in the altcruoen, at the request Ofthe Com
mittee of Arrangements, and the fiotels and many
of the public buildings are beautifully arrayed in
the habilincnts of woe.
It was half past 11 o'clock when the body was
deposited on the centotaph.
The committees arc now, at 12 o’clock, dining
with tlic City Council at Jones' Hotel.
The remains will be convoyed to New York in
the morning in a special train, to start at 9 o'clock

Messrs. Cass, Hunter, Hale, Clemens, Cooper,
Seward, Jones ot lowa, mid Brooke followed in
eloquent tributes to the memory and virtues of the
greut and distinguished dead.
Your reporter bus not time to furnish by the
cars a sketch even of these, speeches, except that
of Mr. Cass, which is as follows:
Mr. President: Again has an impressive warn
ing conic to teach us that in tho midst of life we
are in death. The ordinary labors of this Hull arc
suspended and its contcutioim hushed, before the
power of him who says to the storm of human
passions, as lie said of old to the waves of Galilee,
“Peace, bo still.” The lessons of his Providence,
severe ns they may be, often become merciful dis
pensations, like that which is now spreading sor
row through tho land, and which is reminding us
that we have higher duties to fulfil, and graver
responsibilities to oncotmter,than those that meet us
here, when wo lay our hands upon His Holy Word,
aud invoke his holy name, promising to be faithful
to that Constitution which lie gave us in His mer
cy, and will withdraw only in the hour of our
blindness and disobedience, and of his own wrath.
Another great man has fallen in our land, ripe
indeed iu years and in honors, but never dearer to
the people than when called from the theatre ofhis
services und renown to that final bar where the
lofty aud the lowly must all meet at last.
I do not rise upon this mournful occasion to in
dulge in the language of panegyric. My regard
for the memory of tho dead, and for the obliga
tions of tho living world equally rebuke sucli a
course. The severity of truth is at once our pro
per duty, and our best consolation. Bom during
the Revolutionary struggle, our deceased associate
was ono of tho lew remaining public men who
the present generation with the actors in
the trying scenes of that eventful period, and
whose names and deeds will soon be known only iu
the history of their country.
He was'another illustration, and a noble one,
too, of the glorious equality of our institutions,
which freely offer all their rewards to nil who just
ly seek them; for he was the areiiitcct of his own
fortune, having made his way in life bv self exer
tion, and he was an early adventurer in the great
forest of the west, then a world of primitive vege
tation, but now the abode of intelligence and re
ligion, of prosperity and civilization.
But lie possessed that intellectual superiority
which overcomes surrounding obstacles, and which
local seclusion cannot long withhold from general
knowledge and appreciation. It is almost half a
century since he passed through Chilicothe, then
the seat of Government of Ohio, where I was a
member of tho Legislature, on his way to takehis
place in this very body, which is now listening to
this reminiscence, and to a feeble tribute of regard
from one, who then saw him for the first time, but
who can never forget the impression he produced
by the channs of fils conversation, the frankness of
Ins manner, and the high qualities with which he
was endowed.
Since then ho lias belonged to his country, and
has taken part, and a prominent part,bot hin peace
and war, in all the great questions effecting her
interests and her honor; though it has been often
ray fortune to differ from him, yet I believe lie
was ns pure a patriot ns ever participated in the
councils of a nation—anxious for the public good,
and seeking to attain it, during all the vicissitudes
of a long and active life. That he exercised a pow
erful influence within the sphere of his action,
throtigh the whole country, indeed we all feel and
know; and we know, too, the eminent endow
ments which gave him this high distinction.
Frank and fearless in the expression of liis opin
ions,- and in the performance of his duties, with
rare powers of eloquence, which never failed to
rivit the attention of his auditory, and which al
ways commanded admiration, even when they did
not carry conviction; prompt in decision, and
firm in action, and with a vigorous intellect, trained
in the contests of a stirring life, and strengthened
by onlarged experience and observation, joined
withal to an ardent love of country, and to great
purity of purpose—these were the elements of his
power and success. And wa dwell upon them
with mournful gratification now, when we shall
soon follow him to the cold and silent tomb, where
we shall commit carthto earth, ashes to ashes, dust
to dust, with the blessed conviction of the truth
of that divine revelation Which teaches us that
there is life and liuj>c beyond the narrow house
where wc shall leave him alone to the mercy of his
God and ours.
lie has passed beyond the reach of human
praise or censure, but the judgment of his contem
poraries has preceded and pronounced the judg
ment of history, and his name and fame will shed
lustre upon his country, and will be proudly cher
ished in the hearts of his countrymen for long
ages to come. Yes, they will bo cherished and
freshly remembered when these marble columns
that surround us—so often tbo witnesses of liis
triumph, but in a few brief hours, when his mor
tal frame, despoiled of the immortal spirit, shall
rest under this dome for the last time to become
the witnesses of his defeat in that final contest
where the mightiest fell before the great destroyer
—when these marble columns shall themselves
have fallen—like all the works of man—leaving
their broken fragments to tell the story of former
magnificence, amid the very ruins that announce
decay «R desolation.
I was often with him during his late illness,
when the world and the things of the world were
fast failing away before him. lie knew that the
silver cord was almost loosened, and that the golden
bowl was breaking at the fountain, but he was
resigned to the .wifi of Providence, Reeling that he
who gave has the right to take away in his own
good time and manner. After his duty to his
Creator amPliis anxiety for his family, his first care
was for liis eonntry, Sud liis first wish for the pre
servation and perpetuation of the Constitution and
the Union, dear to him in the hour of death as
they had ever been in the vigor of life. Os that
Constitution and Union, whose defence in the last
and greatest crisis of their peril, had called forth
all his energies, and had stimulated those memo
rable and powerful exertions, which lie who wit
nessed can never forget, and which, no doubt, j
hastened the final catastrophe, that a nation now
deplores, with a sincerity and unanimity not less I
! honorable to themselves than to the memory of
the object ot their affections.
And when wc shall enter that narrow valley, '
through which he has passed before us, and which
leads to the judgment seat of God, may wc be able
to say, through faith in his Son, our Saviour, and
in the beautiful language of the hymn of the dying
Christian—dying but ever-living and triumphant:
“ The world recedes, it disappears!
Heaven opens on my eyes 1 my ears
I; .With sounds seraphic ring;
l*nd, lend your wings, 1 mount, I St!
I Oh grave, where is thy victory ?
Oh death, where is thy ‘tin-. '
Let me die the death of the righteous, and let
mv last end be like his.
The resolutions were then unanimously adopted. 1
Messrs. Hunter, Dawson, .Jones of lowa, Cooper,
Bright and Smith, were appointed the committee
of arrangements for the funeral.
The Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE.
The members assembled at 12 o’clock, pursuant
to adjournment; but it was half past two before
the journals were read, an appropriate prayer hav
ing oeen made by the Dev. Dr. Butler.
Immediately after the journals had been read, a
message was received from the Senate, annotwing
the death of the Hon. Henry Clay, a member of
that body from Kentucky, accompanied by the
resolutions which had been passed in consequence
of that event, and appointing a Committee to ac
company his remains to Kentuckv, in charge of the
Sergeant-at-Arm*.
Mr. Breckenriage, of Kentucky, immediately
rose snd alluded to tin protracted’ illness.ofJMr.
[Olay, dnring which lie bad been solaced by the
I sympathy and attention ofhis relatives and friends,
until be atlcugtn sank under the eflec’ of disci! -c
and died tranquilly arid supported by tU faith of
I a Christian.
lie then hriefly referred to the more prominent
! events, in widen Mr. Clay b idacted the part of a
mediator i traced his early history and pointed out
the snores which find attended his career as an
1 ineitameat to the youth of the country to imitate
i his example. The .cstlmootalaofgrief which every
where are display off, demonstrated the estimation
in which lie w.r held by his eonntrv; aud even
the Capitoi seemed to exhibit that a guiding spirit
bail departed. He concluded by submitiing the
resolution usual on sneb occasions.
Mr. Ewing, of Kentucky, followed, and deliver
ed a short address, more of a general nature, eulo
gistic of the character of the deceased statesmen,
as did Mr. Oaskie. of Virginia.
Mr. Chandler, of Pa., said, if lie could have con
sulted his own feelings, he should have remained
silent; but he represented a constituency who
pride themselves on the attachment they manifest
for Henry Clay, which love had been received from
their fathers." The m-cssagethat went through the
land yesterday, he said, went to the hearts of mill
ions, and each felt that in the death he had a par
ticular sorrow, separate from the uatnral loss; and
went at much length into a eulogy of the departed
statesman.
Mr. Bayly, of Yiu, acid, although the opponent
of Mr. Clay’, vet from youth, friendship had existed
between theta, aud for twenty years a personal in
timacy had been maintained by them m> far ns the
discrepancy between their years would allow; and
that distinguished niau during the last twenty rears
had frequently been the visiter of his house, and
the guest at his table. This made it proper that
he should then pay the last tribute of respeet for
his memory.
ne had ncrcP*knoint a man of higher attain
ments than Henry Clay—of greater self-potseeeion
and self-reliance, or of greater moral or physical
courage. He never doubted as to where lay the
path of dnty, nor ever hesitated to pursue it.’ and
he possessed the qualifications of a great general,
as well as a great statesman. Two of the tri
umvirate whose names stand conspicuous to Ame
rican history have departed, but, thank God, he
said,a third' remained.
He then went into a comparison of their career
with that of Fox, Pitt and Burke, aud concluded
with an expression of sorrow for liic loss which
the nation has sustained.
Mr.Venab'e. of N. C., next addressed the House.
After Mr. Venable had concluded his elaborate
and pathetic eulogy of the deceased,
Mr. Broo's, of New York, spoke of Mr. Clay’s
deep hold upon the people of that great city, and
of the extreme sorrow which the sad event must
carry to their heart*. Mr. B’s eulogy was eloquent
and pathetic.
Speeches were then severally made by Messrs.
Parker of Ind., Gentry of Tenti., mid Bowie and
Walsh of Md., who all paid feeling tributes to -the
memory of the “great man departed.”
The resolutions were then unanimously adopted,
and the House adjourned.

Te r. Union Party Not “ Dissolved !’’—lt will
be remembered that the Athens Banner, aomo
days ago, pronounced the “ Union, party Dis
solved!"’ This announcement was made in the
belief that either Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Webster
would lie the Whig nominee, in which, event the
editor rightly supposed the Whigs of Georgia
would have yielded him their hearty support. The
aspect of political affairs lias been very much
changed, however, according totjjc Banner, by the
nomination of Gen. Scott, rendering it probable
that the Union organization will be preserved.
The armistice between the Southern Rights and
Union Democrats, which it was thought had been
patched up, lias also been terminated. The pros
pect now is, that there Will be two electoral tick
ets—the one already put forth by the Southern
Rights wing, the other yet to be appointed by the
Union Democrats, Between the two, the W higs
will svmpathisc with the latter, while many will
probably support it, with a view to keep up the
Union organization. Upourthis point they wili be
left to decide tor themselves. No effort, that we
know of, will be made to farce them into the sup
port of the Democratic uomiuces.— Sat. Kepub.

Philadelphia, Juno 29.—A Polundcr who has
had an interview with the two Skipinski’s, the
murderers of young Lehman, in tho county prison,
mode dcvclonmcuts of the most startling character
to-day before Mayor Gilpin, being the substance of
a confession made by them.
Mathias Skipinski said, “ 1 killed young Lehman
by striking him oil the head with a stovo leg.—
Klaize,my brother, was present, as well as Kayser,
whose real name is John Ruthoniuski, and is still
at large.”
Mathias also said that himself and party had kill
ed a farmer and his family, consisting of »ix per
sons, near Newark, Delaware, aud afterwards Bet
fire to tho premises, from which tlioy obtained $73
and somo jewolry. He also confessed to u murder
near Baltimore, and said tliat they had murdered
near 80 persons and burned thirty bouses sinco
they arrived in this country. Tho plunder, to tho
amount of near SB,OOO, lie says is buried in tho
mountains, and under the charge of Kayser.
The confession is so oxtravagaut as to lead to the
supposition that Mathias is now insane. Ho ex
presses his confidence of csoaping through tho aid
of Kayser, and designs murdering all concerned in
his arrest, and conviction besides numerous per
sons iu Now York.
[.We ho the Reporter. —This confession, if relia
ble, will be looked for with great interest. It will
be remembered that the Cosden family were mur
dored at Georgetown Cross Roads, not far from
Newark, Delaware, and that Murphy, Taylor aud
Shelton, who wero hung for the murder, died pro
testing their iiinoccnco. The other nnu dcr, con
fessed to have boon committed near Baltimore, may
probably be that of Mr. Buck, who was so mysteri
ously murdered at the Cooper Works on the otlior
side of the Basin. Should tho Skipinskis’ provo
to be tho murderers of the Cosden family that tra
gedy will be clothed with additional horrors.]

Baltimore, July 2. —The steam ship Northern
Light has arrived at New York from San Juan,
which port she left on the 24th ult. She brings
$200,000 in gold.
A bloody riot occurred at Panama on the 17th
nit., between the Americans mid the natives. The
military, however, finally restored order.
The news from California is unimportant.
Washington, July B.—On Saturday tho Senate
was not iu session.
The House of Representatives aftor transacting
some unimportant business, took up tho Deficiency
Bill, in the courso of which the lion. Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, spoke against Gen. Scott as
the nominee of the Whig National Convention ;
and the Hon. John C. Brcckcnridge against the
appropriation for the Collins’ line of steam ship.
Neither House will meet on Monday.
Baltimore, July 3.—The steam Bhip Franklin
sailed from Now York for Havre via Southampton
at noon on Saturday, with $574,000 in specie, on
freight.
Advices from Buenos Ayres have been received
at Boston, to the 18th ult., which state that Don

Tho Freneli Minister, at Washington, lias been

New Orleans, July 2. —The Steamship Wiiliam
Penn has arrived from New York. She reports
the Steam Ship Philadelphia from Chagros as be
ing in distress near Key West, short or coal, and
with tho Cholora prevailing on board. She was
not allowed to enter Havana.
A number of passengers had died. She was not
allowed to luud her sick at Key West, and Captain
Rollins of the Isabel refused to take them to ILava

[Capt. Rollins acted perfectly right in the premi
ses. It would have been preposterous to suppose
tiiat he would endanger the lives of those under
his charge by pursuing such a course.] — Ed*. Cou
rier.
Baltimore, July 2. —Dates from Acapulco to the
7th ult., have been received, which state that Mr.
Rice, the American Consul, was then in prison for
misconduct.
[That Mr. Rice is in prison we do not doubt, but
do not nelieve ho has in the least misconducted
himself. It appears from u statement iu our cx
changes, that tiic Mexican authorities at Acapulco
recently attempted to sell the Ameriean steamer
Commodore Stockton to satisfy certain slledgod
claims. Mr. Rice, as U.S. Consul, protested against
the sale, ami the Court refused to hear any appeal
from him. Ho next caused notices to be posted in
English and French, warning persons sgaiust buy
ing hor. The Judge ordered the Plaintiff in the
suit—a man named Snyder—to tear the notices
down, including one iu the Consular office. Mr.
Rice placed a pistol at Snyder's head, warning him
that if lie persisted in thus trespassing upon his
premises, his life w0..1d be the forfeit. Snyder
left, but the «ume night he got a warrant from the
J udge, to throw the Consul into dungeon of the
Castle, which was given to Gen. Morcuo to have
executed. The General to avoid a disagreeable re
sponsibility, made a hasty visit to his country seat.
This occurred tho day before the sailing of the last
steamers for Panama. By tho shore dispatch,
however, it would seem that Rnyder and the
Judge had procurrod a more willing tool, and car
ried out their revenge. Snch treatment of the
Consular Agent of a country is unprecedented.]—

AUUt'STA MARKET.
Weekly Report Tuesday, P. M.
COTTON.—The Block in this market la reduced very low
and there is consequently very little in flr»t hands. The
transactions of the week closed to-duy have been limited
and confined almost exclusively to the better descriptions
for which the demand continues good and prices very firm,
and full—fully up to the highest point of the season. The
lower qualities, however, are almost entirely neglected, and
consequently relatively much cheaper. The following quo
tations will afford a fair index of the market, remarking that
for the good qualities the rates arc very firm and well es
tablished : Middling Pair 10>.; Fair 10X cents.

GROCERIES.—The weather during tho week past ha
been very warm and oppressive, rendering active business
operations anything but agreeable. Tho consequence has
been, that the transactions in all the departments of trade
have been very small. The Btocks of Groceries are abun
dantly equal to the demand, and we would refer the reader
to our quotations for the current rates of all the leading
articles.
PROVISIONS.—The Corn market continues very much
depressed, and prices have still further receded in conse
quence of the large stock held over, the advanced stage of
the season and the flattering prospects now held out of a
very large crop—larger probably than ever belbre known
in Georgia. We have altered our quotations to correspond
with the current rates, and would remark that a large lot
could not be sold at 50 cents. In the Dacon market there
is not so much firmness, und prices for some descriptions
have slightly receded. See quotations.
EXCHANGE.—We note no change; the rate on the I
Nottli, for Checks, is %$1 cent. prom.
FREIGHTS remain as heretofore quoted. The late rains
have produced a slight improvement In the river, but it is
still quite low.

LIVERPOOL, June 18.—We have little change to notice
In business generally. The pause in (he activity of our
Cotton market has slightly checked business in Manchester,
but prices of Goods have been scarcely affected, nor is there
any diminution in the consumption of the raw material.—
Money continues very abundant. The bullion In the Rank
of England still inoreases, being now about twenty-one
millions. Consols 95% © 89% ex dividend. There was an
active demand on Saturday last for Cotton at full prices,
but the advices received 14th inst., per Africa, being very
favorable as to the growing crop, there was almost a cessa
tion in the demand, the sales being oniy 8,060 bales on
Monday, and 2,000 bales on Tuesday, akabout %d. deollne.
Since then the demand has been rather better, and prices
becoming steadier. The week's sales amount to 60,640
, bales, including 16,620 on speculation and 6,000 for export
To-day the demand is fair; sales 6,000 boles, with a steady
market. We quote Pair Orleans 0%d.; Middling 6 T-l#d.-

LIVERPOOL, June 18.—Our Cqttou market since Tues
day, has been gradually reviving from its depression, and
prices are only about l-lOd. » tt> lower than on Friday,
llth Inst. Td-Ufty there is a fair demand and a cheerful
£ ell . ng ’, of week are 50,640 bales, of which
the trade have taken 20,820 bales, speculators 16,620 bales
and exporters 0,600 bales. « ’
|? E .’ f. un . e I T- — For ,lw P rwent '»" B°«d advices from
the Unitrd States have not been able to make us even keep
up to the old priess here, it appears that every rise was be
forehand anticipated here, for instead of improving we are
going bock. Tres Ordinaire Louisiana Is offered at 85f., no
bidders at 84f.; lias Louisiana is offered at 74%f., no bid
ders at 74f. Buying merchants and spluners seem to have
overbought themselves three weeks ago, and till all that is
placed and new demands spring up, we may not rally and
even see lower prices. The good appearance of your new
crop also, influences, and no speculator will buy in fear of
a second large crop. The sales of to-day are very trifling,
and have been so for sovoral days; the Humboldt letters
will not alter that state of things.
HAVRE, June 17.—The soles In our Cotton market yes
terday were only 260 bales American and 401) West Indian,
at drooping prices. The steamer Humboldt, after ashort
Gaosagc of 11 days and 10 hours, arrived this morning with

in a country of strangers, is left to mourn—the husband,
one of the kindest and most affectionate of gives—the chil
dren one of the tenderest and most Indulgent of mothers—
the servants a kind mistress. It was with the deepest re
g ret that the largcclrcle of her friends and relative! part
ed with her In February last as she bid them farewell for
her new home in the West. Her disinterested kindness aa<t
Christian demeanor won for her the confidence and esteem
of all who knew her. Though she never made a qmbllo
profession of religion, yet ail who knew her could but sen
and know that In her life she exemplified that piety which
supported her so triumphantly through her protracted if
dictions, and so gloriously tu the hour of dissolution.

suffering much from a chronic and painful affection for 5
years, during which time he bore his affliction with great
Christian fortitude. He had been a constant and pious
member of the Presbyterian Church for many years ; and
iu his lust illntMy bowed in meek submission to the Divine
Will of tils Heavenly Father. He was a devoted husband,
an ardent friend, a kind master, and a good citisen, and hat
left a disconsolate wife and numerous relatives and friends
to mourn the loss. Hut It should be consoling to them to
know that ip his death, their loss is but temitoral, while to
him it is an eternal gain.
In Augusta, Georgia, on the evening of the 29th ultimo,
WILLIAM G. RUSSELL, Printer, of Columbia, 8.0., aged
thirty-four years.
In the sudden death of our departed friend, we realise
the uncertainty of life, and hear that voice admonishing us
“De ye also ready.” On last Monday night, feeling utt-
Arell, he remained at the house of a friend; and after taking
a preparation given him by a physician, retired to rest.
Near daylight he was attacked with violent spasms, ren
dering him insensible until twenty minutes to eleven, P. M. f
when he gave slftns of consciousness, and breathed his last.
His wife (who was at Edgefield) had been sent for that
morning, hut arrived only'to find him dressed in the ha
biliments of the grave. It will be a source of comfort to
his parent, and other relatives, to know that he received
every possible kindness and attention from the hands of
friends.
The deceased had only a limited acquaintance in this
city, but those who knew him appreciated his virtues. Un
assuming in manner and honest in deportment, he won tho
confidence and esteem of hiß fellow-men with whom ho
mingled. But he is gone I His little ones at home will see
him never more. His companion, with bleeding heart, will
turn from the grave that closes over him she so fondly
loved. But,
Thorc is a voics that sorrow hears,
r When heaviest weighs life’s galling chain ;
’Tis Heaven that whispers—dry thy tears,
The pure in heart shall meet again. %
At his residence, Wales, Gwinnett county, Ga., on the
4th ult., after a protracted illness of five weeks. Major
GEORGE M. WATERS, In the T6th year es his sge.
The deceased was a I esidtnt of this State upwards of 60
years. Iu his death his children have been deprived of an
affectionate anil devoted fattier. Aa a master, he waa hu
mane and indulging; as a friend, constant and sincere; aa.
a neighbor, kind and obliging; as a mail upright and hono
rable in all Ids dealings. Dut he is gone. No more shall
we behold his loved und venerable form. The plaeee that
knew him so long nnd familiarly, shnll know htin no more
forever. He sleeps in tho bosom of his God.
The love of a Redeemer
Has called him to his heart,
To bash In never-ending light,
And dwell with the ever blessed. *
BJIn this city on the 29th June, JOSAPIUftK, youngest
daughter of Robert H. and Josaphlne A. May, aged seven
teen months and four days.
Departed this life on the morning of the 20th of Jnne to
Monroe county, Mrs. FRANCEB JANE MADDOX, wife’ of
M. M. Maddox, nnd daughter es Benjamin and rraneea
Ilaygood, In the 20th year of her age.
In the person of the deceased waa concentrated every
virtue, moral, social and religious, which Is calculated to
elevate and adorn human character. Bhe was affoctlonata
and kind, and in her manners plain and unassuming.
Mrs. Maddox was seised with acute gaetro euteretla. She
from the first appeared sensible of her approaching disso
lution, and although she disliked the Idea of separation
from her kind husband and two small chlldreo, with numer
ous relatives and friends, yet she was perfectly resigned to
the will of her Heavenly Fnther. A short time before her
death she told her father that she doubted not her anew
tance with God.
Although an affectionate husband, a bereaved father and
mother, with many other relatives, are deprived of her
society, and mourn her loss, yet they mourn nat as thoaa
who have no hopo.
“ Blessed are the dead who die tn the Lord.”
