Mir. Enrrori : Whilst a school
boy in April, 1844, i. was my fortune
t he one of the irainenfC lhr'in who
crowded iht Capital city to see and
hear ttie great Virginia-Iventuckian.
On entering the city it was asy to
see from the crowds on tiie street, the
rolling vehicles the tramp of horses
the banners and flags of weleou.e
that the great popular heart was
beating high and that the pafiot
slaU'stn-i'i and orator would receive
n wclrome aud oration which would
meet the highest hopes and expecta
tions of himself and his mo-t urdeat.
friends.
I endeavored to take in the situa
tion as full a-i posibe, I went out
to the Militar Green and saw the
Cavalry drilling fr the occasion and
then t the Capitobwhere the Raleigh
guards, a beautiful Infantiy Co.n
pany. were assembling. I knew only
one member of this company (the
distinguishes Henry W. Miller whom
I heard speak whilst canvassing for
Congress in this section). '1 he com
pany soon forme 1 ami marched out
of Capitol square to the music of that
thrilling Scotch air, "The Campbells
are comiug Oho, Oho." This was
very appropriate as thfre was a song
then very popular -Clay is coming
oh ho, oh ho." We marched down in
high spirits to the place where .Mr.
Clay was to be received. From some
cause the train was decayed for abjut
."5 Imurs. During this inteival the
Bands occasionally discoursed a
cheering' march aud' sallies of wit,
a d occasional cheering for North
Carolina and Old Kentuck relieved
the tedium and made the time pas9
pleasantly. Several gay young feU
lows full of wine and patriotism
created much jollity by riding up to
the Military giving orders, etc ", and
also riding alotg the two lines of
citizens wiilch had been formed in
regular order. This was enjoyed for
a while but on their refusal to be re
lieved of their commands, these
knights errant were captured by the
Military, unhorsed and retired to the
shadesof civil life, Tl.ns was a scene
in that grand drama never to be for
gotten and it often 6hakes me with
laughter now when "fond memory
brings the light of other days around
me."
Hut the scene changes. The scream
of ihe steam wdstle announces the
approaching train, the lines are re
formed the cannon thunder, the clat-
tering wheels roll up and stop. Mr. Slight .r auburn hair well mixed with
Clay is met by about a dozen distin- gray, very erect, rnd with a voice so
uished citizens aud escorted between framed that it could rouse like the
therauksor shouting citizens anij blast from the trumpet or charm like

About the time he took f he coach

and the wind blew con

Cavalry under Cupt. A. B. Stith and
and the Raleigh Guards commanded
1)3' Capt. Clark, I believe.
The next was a lovely April day.
! A grandstand most handsomclv de
corated had been erected in front of
and connected with the Western
ponico of the Capitol.
From this stand Governor More
head introduced the great Statesman
in a manner and in matter which I
think cbuid hardly have been equall
ed much less surpassed. After refer
i ig inns: hap,i!v to the great and
numerous public service rendered by
hira in his long eventful and often
storming caieer. lie told us as a
clreax thai to read the history of our
country wj would rea I the. life of
Henry Clay and if we read the life of
Henry Clay we must next read the
history of our country.
The Governor was. then in the
prime of life and added to a tall
manly person, he was woudurously
preposessing aud pleasing in p eseuee
and manner. He was heartily cheer
el, ami when Mr. Clay bowed to the
crowd the storm of applause J that
greeted him was as tha roar of the
tempest mingled will the voice of
many waters. I will give his ex
odium from memory. It was very
very neariy as follows:
Friends and lellow-citizeiis, yes
terday morning about half past nine
oVoik lor the lirst time I set my
feet upon North Carolina soil. A
long felt wish had been gratified and
I felt that in the language of the
Scot ish Hard I might exclaim, " This
19 my own my naltve land." Today
I find myself standing in front of
your beautiful Capitol surrouwded by
this immense concourse of m fellow
citizens, and I feel 'specially proud
and peculiar! v gratified that our
meeting is graced aud honored by the
presence of so goodly a number of
our fair country women. In "accept-
in vour xiruKinvitation to meet
with you I expected to meet a few !
hnnilrml or nerhans a few- thousand !
of m personal and political friends. j
but I did not expect to meet the
whole State." (Cheers, "cheers.)
Ik then proceeded for over two
hours to discuss the various political
questions in his own grand and mast
terly manner. H favored a nation
al currenc3' so that a dollar in Maine
would be a dollar in Louisiana or an'
other State,
A fair and equitab e distribution
of the proceeds of the sales of the
public lands among the States.
A tarilf for Revenue with incident
tal protection to the. various oranches
of American industry. ' .
On the Abolition question hev hi
morousl' refered us to his cutting re
ply in Congress to Mr. Mendenhall.
This produced great cheering and
laughter.
He was then 67 years of age, tall
and slender, op fair complexion,
dress wit 11 wuite vet.
.. .
( farmer took nil his hat and waving ic
high aboye his head shouted out
"Hurrah for old Kaintuck" The
crowd being in fell sympathy joined
in shouts tli.it rolled and revetberated
far away in the hills of Wake. The
orator seemed to fully appreciate
these outbursts of App!ause and would
bow and wait patiently until they
subsided.
After discussing political measures
he read by way of peronation from
manuscript a sj-nopsis of the leading
principles which he remembered and
closed in about the following words:
'And now fellow-citizens I must
thank 3'ou most heartily for the kind
ness with which you have heard me,
for my friendly reception and the
pleasure of our meeting. No more
shall I beho!d .the beautiful city of
the Oaks. No more shall I ever see
!ii-s numerous concourse again, but
resr. assured that wherever I may be
wherever I may go yju will have 103
sincere my fervent prayers for join
well being and prospetity in this life
and for your eternal felicity in the
world to come. When the cheering
had ended, Mis Fettigrew was intro
duced and presented Mr. Clay with a
beautiful piece of white silk for a
vest, it Jbemg the workmanship of her
own fair hands. Mr, Clay was great
ly delighted at receiving it, held it
up and thanked the fair Donor in his
happiest manner, stated that a short
time before he had been presented
with a coat and pair of pants and
now he had a silk jacket ail of home
industT3T.
The crowd then repaired to the
large oak grove for dinner When it
was fotitid that Mr. Clay had taken
a stand and was shaking hands with
those who came forward the multi
tude became wild with excitement
and rushed and pressed forward like
the charge of the Roma i Legion on
Hannibal's wild numidian Cavalrj
each man pressed forward the man in
front of him until it was with great
difficulty the orator was protected
from being run over and trampled
down b3' this well. intended but un
bridled enthusiasm of his friends.
Mr. Badger (always equtd to any
emergency) mounted a table and
shouted to the crowd to hold up and
not damage their friend. At length
quiet wa9 in some degree restored
and among jaany another I, for the
Crst and last time, shook hands with
liarry of the West," The city was
brill'antly illuminated and Whigs
and Democrat united in doing honor
to their guest.
Mr. Cla rcmaincl several da-s in
Raliegh and during his stay wrote
the letter opposing the annexation
of Texas. Judge Badger aavised
hiru not to write it but he did
and this position, it is said, defeated
him as candidate for the Presidency.
His visit over, he bid farewell to
North Carolina and turned his face
Northward to meet and delight other
assemblies and read his hi.tory in a
Nations e3'es.
He was the Idol and Emperor of
his parly. the pride of his country
and honored the world over. In
Greece his name is loved like that
of their Hero Marco Cozzaris.

DETERMINED NEVER TO BE
SATISFIED.
It is strange how wdely foolish
men become when the begin to prac-
tice h3 pocrisy. Tne3' pretend that
they want this, that, and the other,
for this and that reason, and when
they find theyvare about to get what
th?v pretend to they shift fronts and
8a' these things will not accomplish
the desired results, or they charge
tho e who are about to give tnem
their pretended wishes as being .'gov
erned b3' sinister motives. They are
false in ever3r pretension and become
chronic grumblers for no higher pur
pose than secure iheir own personal
whims.
We have a fair example of this in
those who are now pleased to style
themselves Third part3 personages.
About two or three ears ago they
clamored for the free coinage ofeilver
and claimed this would be a panacea
for all the evils under which they
professed lo groan. When t.hey had
occasion to believe that the Democrat
ic party was about to become a unit
in demanding this they sa.d .through
their leader. Col. PolU, that this was
alright but it would not answer the
purpose and would not give the. need
ed relief.
They also had a plank in their
platform demanding tariff -reduction
but as soon as hev found that if the
Democratic part3' got in power the'
vould give ihis they said this was
not sufficient and would only be airee.
live when you did what they I knew
never could be done, abolish the tarT
iff altogether, Mary an n Butler bold
ly said this in his speeches about
twelve months as;o and when asked
how are you going to raise revenue
tovrun the government if you wipe
out entirelr the tariff, flippantly re
torted, "Why by an income tax"
This they have nnceasinjjly harangu
ed for ever since. This most assur
edly with free coinage of silver, and
tariff reduction would satisfy even
their most extreme desires. But
what do we see when the indications
are that an income tax will be a part
of the Democratic plan of financial
reform.! The great "reformer" mary

and recognized as ths Caucasian,

He is getting ready to boldly attack
the very thing he has been clamoring i
for twelve months, when he seM it is !

great apostle of Third partyism in
North Carolina. We had thought
that even he might h-jld his tongue
in silence at the prospect of his great
hobby, an income tax, and yet we
quote these words from his ispue of
June 8th : "The income tax is right
but it will not correct the financial
evils in your financial system. It
does not go at the root of the trouble.
It simply clips off the ends of the
overgrown twigs, while the evil one J
will continue to do its deadly work."
If free coinage 01 silver, tariff reform,
and an income tux are not what they
want why in the name of common
sense and common decency have they
been demanding these things from
the very incipicncy'of their party ?
They started out to deceive, and alfr
of these pretensions arc false. They
don't want the people satisfied. Their
onlytnis3ion is to arouse dissatisfac
tion and thereby serv e their own bell-

The Democratic press of North
Carolina are strongly advocating all
these desiring reforms, "the prospect
is that the present Democratic ad
ministration will give us a part if
not all of them, and nothing is more
utterly foolish tlvm that sensible
men shall follow 8;icV manifest dema
