tt Vere to bc presented to me, I prefer that it
shouidAbe done in the face of thi? vast assem.
blagc. I thihk I can give it such an answer
as becomes mo and the subject of which it
treats. At all events, I entreat and beseech
my fellow citizens for their sake, for my
sake, to oflerno disrespect no indignity, no
violence, in word or deed, to Mr. Menden
hall." Then, turning to Mr. Mcndenhall: 11 Ah
low me to say," said Mr. C,, 14 that I think
you have not conformed to tho independent
character of an American citizen in present
ing a petition to me, A petition, as the term
implies, generally, proceeds from an inferior
in power or station to a superior ; but between
us there is entire equality.1? .
Mr. Clay remarked, in continuation, that
he desired no concealment of his opinions in
regard to. the institution ; of slavery. He
looked upon it as a great evil, and deeply la.,
mcnted that we had derived it from the "pa
rental Government and .: from our ancestors.
But, without . any knowledge, of the relation
in which he stood to his slaves, or their indi
vidual condition, Mr, Mendenhall and his.as
sociatcs had presented a petition calling upon
him forthwith to liberate them. ' .
V Now let me tell you," said Mr. C, " that
some half a . dozen of them, from age,-de
crepitude or infirmity, are wholly unable to
gain a livelihood , for themselves, and area
heavy charge upon me. Do you think that
should conform to the dictates of humanity
by ridding myself of that ; charge, and send
ing them forth into the world, with the boon
of liberty, to end a wretched existence in
starvation T "
In conclusion, Mr. Clay admirably exposed
the hypocrisy of the petitioners by the foh
owing proposition, in regard to which they
have never taken any steps : . . I
" I shall, Mr. Mendenhall, take your pe
tition into respectful and deliberate conside
ration ; but before I come to a final decision,
I should like to know, what you and yois asso
ciates are willing to do for the slavesn my
possession, if I should think proper to iherate
them. I own about fifty 'who are probably
worth fifteen thousand dollars. To iturn
them loose upon society without any meals of
subsistence or support Would be an act of
re
the payment of fifteen fcousand dollars lor
their benefit, if I shoultbe induced to f:
them ? The security of 6e payment of tilt
sum would materially lesAi the obstacle TJ
the way of their em ancipaapn." , 1
Mr. Clav finished his rcanrks with snm
friendly advice to Mr. Mendenhall, which it i?

There has never been any concealment on
Mr. Clay's part cf his opinions on the subject
of slavery. Through tho whole course of
this memoir they will' be found scattered,
from the period when he first advocated the
gradual eradication of slavery from Kentucky
in 1707 to the present moment. In his speech
before the colonization society in 1827, noth
ing can be more explicit than the language he
employs. We refer those who would be enL
lightened further I in regard to his views, to
that eloquent address. ' .
On the 29th of September, 1842, Mr.'ClaV
attended the great Whig convention at Day
ton, Ohio, where one hundred thousand
Whigs are believed to have been assembled.;
41 At 8 o'clock" says one of the actors in
the scene, "when every street in tho city.
was filled, and there seemed no resting-place
for any, the procession was formed. This
occupied a.long time. When done, the order,
j March I1'. was given'; and, in solid mass, we
moved to welcome the great statesman, Hen
ry Clay into the city. He was met near the
city, and, at half.past 9 o'clock, reached the
neighborhood of the National Hotel. Here
a beautiful sight! was witnessed. One hun
dredand tweniy-ifivc children, as the honest
patriot approached, welcomed him with songs
Their sweet voices rang out in. merry peals,
and the multitude responded to it with the
heartiest enthusiasm. After this, Mr. Clay
occupied a stand for some time, aVthe pro
cession passed by, welcoming him to Ohio,
and in return receiving his salutations
" When the procession had passed Mr.
Clay retired into'the Hotel. Governor Met
calf then appeared at the window, smd de
livered ia speech returning the thanks of
Kentucky for the warm-hearted reception they
had met with, - and bidding all who loved the
name of American to rally together in de
fence of American liberty and ' American
Iaboi;:' jipf
" Mr. Schenck read resolutions, prepared
by the committee, .nominating Henry,Clay
and John Davis for the Whig candidates for
1844. , At this time Mr. Clay was seen in the
crowd, and then, as if there had ;been one
voice only, the shout went forth for the states-?
man of the nation. He answered it : and. in
a speech of twohours, plain, yet eloquent,
fie spoke, concealing no opinion, disguising
no wish, the multitude all the while listening
with eager attention and' breathless silence;
And such a speech! It was a master effort
of a master spirit." I
Of this tremendous meeting Mr. Clay, af-
i.LANEOUS.
It was lata at'ijght, nnd the streets' were
nearly deserted, the more especially as it was
snowing fast. A single traveller, however,
nVSht -have bcif seen, wrapped in a thick
overcoat, urgisg.hia way against the tempest',
by the light of the dim lamps. . Suddenly, as
he passed a ruinous tenement, the figure "of a
girl started up before him.
"Please, sir," ah sad, " if it's .only a
penny mother is sick and we have eat noth.
ing to-day."
The first impulse of the moment was to go

A case of painful and singular interest has
just occurred on the Island of Arran, having
alconsiderable resemblance in its details to
srjmeofthe tragic border ballads of the olden
time. A few dasago the daughter of a re
spectable farmer in. Auchincarin, a village
three miles south of Lamlash,' was ! about to
be married to a young man of her own rank

the custom is, a cavalcade of friends were in.

early hour to proceed from thence to meet

But the traveller had forgot that his overcoat
was buttoned tightly over his pocket.
" It is too much trouble," he said to him-1
self, 11 and this wind is very cutting. Be
sides, these beggars aro usually cheats I'll
warrant this girl wants the money to spend
in a gin-shop," And speaking aloud, he said,
somewhat harshly, " I have nothing foe you:
if you are really destitute the Guardians of
the Poor will take care of you."
The girl shrunk Lack without a word, and
drew her tattered garments around her shiv
ering form. But a tear glittered on her cheek'
in the light of the dim lamp.
The man passed on, and turning the next
corner, soon knocked at tho door of a splen
did mansion, through whose richly curtained
windows a rosy light streamed out across the
street. A servant obsequiously cava him en
trance. At the sound of his footstep tho par
lor door was hastily opened, and a beautiful
girl, apparently about seventeen, sprang into
his arms, kissed him on each check, and
then began to assist him in removing his over
coat.
" What kept you so long, dear papa?" she
said. " If I had known where you were I
would have sent the carriage. You never
stay so late at the office." '
No, my love, I was at my lawyer's
busyj very busy,, and all for yon," and" he
kindly patted her check. " But now, Margy'j
can t you give me some supper s 1
The daughter rang the bell, and ordered
the supper to be served. It was such a one
as an epicure might delight in, just the supper
for a traveller on a night like that. t
Pa," said the daughter, when it was fin
ished, " I hope you are in a good humor, for
f have a favor to ask of you," and she threw
her arm around his neck and looked up into
his face with that winning smile and those
i
beautiful dark eyes of hers.
:" I wish to give a ball on my birth day
my eighteenth birth day. It will cost, oh! a
sight of money, but you're a kind, good papa,
and I know you have been successful or you
would not have been at your lawyer's."
i " Yes I my darling," he said, fondly kiss
ing her, "the Cotton speculation has turned
out well. I sold all I had of ihe article this
afternoon, received the money and took it to
my lawyer's telling him to invest it in real
estate. I think I shall soon give up busi
ness." j s
Oh! do, do, papa. But you'll give me
th? brill wnn'l vniil"
You little teaze !" said the father but he
spoke smilingly ; and putting his hand in his
pocket, he took out a note for five hundred
dollars, and placed it in his child's hand. -Take
this if it is not enough; you must
have another, I suppose. But don't trouble
me about it any more." ! 1 ' '
The next morning broke clear, but the
snoW was a foot deep on the level, and here
and there, lay in huge drifts, blocking up the
doorways. ; At ten o'clock, the rich merchant
was on his wav to his countins room. He

turned down the same street up which he had
come the prececding evening.
A crowd had gathered round the open cel

chant paused to enquire what Was the mattef L .
" A woman sir, nas ueen iouuu ueuo uc
low there," said one of the spectators: " she
starved to death it is said, and they hive sent
for a coroner. Her daughter has just come
back, after being out all night. 1 believe she
was begging. That's her moaning."
" Ah!" stJd the merchant ; and a pang
went through his heart like an ice-bolt, for he
