On Sunday morning last I >vas watching alone at Mr, Clay’s bedside. For tho last hour he had been unusually quiet, and I thought he was sleeping. In that, howurer, he me told i was mistaken.

A largo attendance of privato citizens also testified their profound respect and rovcrcnco for the noble dead by uniting in the proces sion.

The public honors decreed by the Senate to tho remains of its illustrious mem ber have been duly rendered; nud most truly may it be added that no funeral honors have ever beon before more Binccroly expressed the public sorrow. It is due to the memory •■if Mr. Clay to say that of tho many dislln- ;gnlshod men who havo onded their lives at a he seat of government, and whoso stations •and virtues claimed for their ashes every mark of respect, thoro has not been one at whose obsequies tho public heart has been •so deeply affected. The feeling of evory one seems to be as though he had lost a personal friend; indeed, for linrdly any other public unan was tho sentiment of affection over so 'universally blended with that of boundless .admiration. Who without emotion ever heard uttered the name of ”the oallant JHenrv Clay,” and In what assembly was it ever uttered that three cheers did not .non- J.aueous]y and instantly make the welkin rsng?

About half-past three o’clock the corpso, escorted by the military and followed by a multitude of people, was removed from the Capitol to the Railroad Depot, and thore pla ced in a car, In charge of the Sonate.Commlt- tee appointed to accompany the remains to their final resting placo in Kentucky. Solemn silence prevailed amongst tho spec tators as the train departed for Baltimore, .whore it ardved at,six-o’cbv*. havlntr.nn ihn way passed through a heavy rain, accompa nied by thundor and lightening. Its arrival at the outer depot of that city was announced by the firing of minute guns, which continued whilst the military and civic procession, which was there fbrmod, slowly proceeded with its sacred freight to the Merchants’ Exchange, in tho Rotunda of which the body was placed for the night, under guard of a military com pany. The crowds attending the procession were unparalleled, and so dense that the column with difficulty proceeded on its course. Every evidenco of heartfelt sorrow perva ded tho city; flags at half-mast, hells tolling solemnly, nnd the city clothed in mourning. From twelve o’clock at noon all places of bu siness were closed.

I think it probable, comparative ly few will agreo with mo in opinion, but' I give It to you'for what it is worth. "With a’stronger desire than eypr. before to adhere to tho NatlonalWIiig party, and give to their nomineos my feoble support, I have bcou unable to bring my mind to the conclu sion that I ought to vote for Gqn’l Scott. M.v objections havo no relation’whatever to tho Southern question. Satisfied with the plat form of the party, and with his prompt, un qualified adhosion toll,I feel profound re gret that other difficulties interposo’ between me and tho bollot-bpx.. la it enough that a candidate for the Presidency Is an honorable man, an intelligent and accomplished states man, a successful general, and that bo sub scribes tlio Whig creed 1 If Gcn’l Scott can lay claim to other qualifications thao these, they are not known to the mass of the peo ple. There ere hundreds of thousands of American citizens having, in nn equal degree, these qualifications, except only tlintof which tlio sword and tho opanlette are tlio symbol'; the absonco of which, to my poor judgement, operates nn disparagement. But there are other qualifications, by no means so common, which ought to be considered indispensable and which without enumeration will present themselves to every reflecting mind. Wo ere not only without evidence that General Scott has these, but there ts good reason to believe that he has very deolded disqualification*.— Will It be denied that bo has a hasty, arbi trary temper—an Imperious self-will, Impa. tlentof ail oppositions—overweening confl dence in his own judgement, and inordinate ambition 1 Will it be prelendod that ho lias a oloar, calm, well balanced mind, whose equilibrium cannot be easily disturbed 1 If not, is it wise, is it safe to place such a man, aconstomod, throughout a long and active life, to despotic military rule, at the head of a Republican Government 1 I am constrain od to believe thnl he, as well as hie opponent, has beon selected solely with reforonoo to availability, consisting of militnry eclat, nnd snch freedom from political reproach as re salts from little or no employment In tho civil services of tho country. Let those who are willing to take tho responsibility of voting far him hnp-linznrd, do so. I will not. I should bo very sorry, nevertheless, to see the Constitutional Union party en masse volo fair the Democratic nominee. Certain events whloh followed tho April convention of that party were well calculated to impair ite sia- illtyand efficiency; nnd therefore to excite Its -continued, dlsililel'orgbHMfViltr^®?, now that both the national parties have fill ly recognised and adopted the platform that party, I think ft would bo notfonly con slstent willi Its past course, but promotlve the end of Its formation, to dissolve it. That end is expressed In a few words: "acquies cence in the compromise measures—faithful ex ecution of the fugitive slave taut—cessation from the slavery agitation." Tho ’coalition the Constitutional Union party with either of tho national parties, would Involve a con. demnatton of tho other, having reference raevnu imirn«n<rn>ii.r-n. Mr..Wub*ter rondo a brief but appropriate reply In the course of whlcb.ho said ho had no’ complaints to raako sgainat tbe Conven tion and added: . , ’ His failure to'receive the nomination in. spired him witil no very deep regret, so far as ho was personally concerned; but tho disap pointment which some of his Mends who had taken a warm interest in his behalf had been subjected to, |md, he confessed, effected him deeply. He understood and appreciated frilly the difficulties that surrounded the Southern delegates in the Contention and assured them that ho cherished note single unkind feeling for not having been honored by their votes. He regretted that their policy had been nec essary, only because It would write a false chapter in the history of tho country. By the record it appeared that In all tho numerous balloting* the Southern delegatee had failed to cast their votes for him, even after the hope of success for their favorite candidate had been abandoned; but the cause] that pre vented them from coming to hts support wore not on record. He supposed be would bo compelled to submit quietly to this apparent reflection upon bis .public life; but still, knowing the circumstancos that influenced them, MM not .in tho slightest degreo effect his feelings towards his Southern friends. Ho concluded by eulogizing tho principles of the conservative whig party, and tho ne cessity far the delegates rigidly adhering to them, and, after thanking them for their friendly sentiments, sold li he evor travelled to the South ho should carla'nly principal cities of the State’of Mississippi arid accept tho hospitality they so generously tendered.
