HENBY CLAYMT HOME.

well-tried friend, Brother Bascom, was the
long and Intimate friend of Mr. Clay.
Their acquaintance was formed when the
former travelled Dnnvfllo circuit in 1816,
'"' who, hy bis powerful eloquence, cogent
reasoning, and overwhelming scriptural
authorities, gave a death blow to the rife

ed to overrun Kentucky. Our kind host
conveyed us to Ashland, but the proprie

er, of our visit, we received a moxt cordial
invitation, to dine at Ashland, of which we
availed ourselves, and spent three full
ho org in verv nlensnnt chat with our enter
tainrr, and tnree more agreeable hours we
never spent in our life. Mr. Clay is sixty
fir years of age, but might pass for fifty,
and will in all probability be well capable
for public business till four score pass over

From theMilton Chronicle. -THE
" CASWELL BEAR."
Speaking of the Bear which was recent
ly seen near Milton, friend Swaim of the
Greensborough Patriot says :
"We shrewdly suspect thia is fne iden
tical bear that visited oor neighborhood a
year or two ago. Its track (which looked
considerably like a little nigger's) was dis
tinctly seen J and it was amrmea that cer
tain persons were heard to say thai some
of their folks had enjoyed glimpses of the
animal Haell on more than one occasion
just at dusk. A companyrxf mighty-hun
ters armed themselves, took a mile Dutch
courage sucb or them as badn t enough
of their own, went forth and dauntleasly
surrounded it, the track ; 1 which gallant
action wrought so powerfully upon ine
(ears of poor Bruin that we shall be sur
prised if another bear s track ventures
hither again in half a dozen years.
"Mr. Chronicle, we ought not to let
our bears get away so, when it is just as
easy to Chronicle ibeir death aa their life."
There's no two or thee ways about this
Bear having been teen, Mr. Patriot, on di
vers occasions and by various persons of
unimpeachable veracity. hieing some
what of a Crockett, if friend Swaim will
join us in the chase, and lend us one of his
neighbor fxtnilt's rifles, we'll guarantee to
Chronic the aforesaid bear's death if
we can find 4 varmint.' Let's take a Bear
hunt any how, Mr. Patriot ? If e would
beas profitably employed in hunting
bears, as we now are in priming for noth
ing and 'finding ourself.'

REPEAL O'CONNCLL'S SCHEME.
We could not understand weU what Mr.
O'Conneil's scheme w as how hia consti
tutional agitation, without violence, without
any violation of law, was to wrest from the
British Government the rights which Irish
men claimed. In a speech at, the great
CharleviTle Dinner Meeting he disclosed his
plan referred to by us yesterday more
fully than at any previous time. At this
hieeting he said:
I want my .hree or four millions of re-
peaiera. ,i win not lane any trier step
until I have those millions (hear.) But is
H in the mere nev-uay oi vaniir, oi pupuiar
procesaioos and popular enthusiasm, and
the hurraing voices of hundreds of thou
sands, that I intend to gratify myself when t
have those millions? ion mistake me
much and you misjudge me mixe. if you
thinks sc (cries f "hear, hear." I don't
want to halt in roycaieerat all; I want to go
on from one plane of elevation to another,
and when I have my three millions you can
call upon me to lake my next step. Re

enemies will be woiking for us. Peel snd
Wtllingtoa did more to give an impetus to
the movement than any tan of ourselves

when compared with feel and Wellington

The moment I have my three millions I
wilt arrange mv next step in the piogress of
the agitation. I will hare our conciliation

programme for tha future Irish Parliament

Parljameol in College green. ' ' .
The correspondent of tha Naw York Sun
explains the allusions in the above aa fol
lows: 'X ' 7"". "f .'
"By h Tr- aiy tf Limerick, whenever
three milhons oftlie I-ih people shall elect
three hundred freeholders to represent them
ia an Irish Parlisntear ia Dublin, England
is bound, solemn! v bound, to recognise such
a Parliament Ilera i the secret of Mr.
O'Connors mavementa, and they may as
well be known first as last. Will England
abide by the treaty of Limerick? MV hen
the three bundled representatives have as
sembled in Dublin, and when they have in
formed the British Government that the
Parliament of Ireland haa reassembled accor
ding to the terms of that treaty will England
refuse to abide by her engagements! I think
she will not Bad a she ia, surely, will
not tramp upon the stipulations of a solemn
treaty. A rain, it is now too late tor her to
prevent the enrollment of in three millions,
or the appointment of the three hundred."
1 1 appeared to us fram this that the hopes
of the Iiish grew brighter; but the New
York Commercial makes uul a doubtful case
of it as follows:
"If the three millions are indis'penaible,
snd must be forth coming before the "next
step'' is taken, we fear there is litpe chance
of our living to aee the repeal effected. Iel
us calculate a little. We suppose that Mr.
O'Conneil's rcpea'ers must be adult males.
The population of Ireland is in lound num
bers eight millions! Of these it is moder
ate to suppose that at least otimillion i
ami-repealers. Of the remaining seven
millions one half nl least must be females;
and of tht? other three millions and a half,
we mny sSfely assume that one million are
not old enough to know or care any thing
about repeal or the Union. There remain,
then, but two millions ayd a half all told.
Where are the three millions to come from?
Tie Repeal Association, of Philadelphia,
took O'Conneil's anti-slavery speech into
consideration and referred it to a committee.
Thia committee made a report Wednesday
evening, the reading of which was commen
ced. As soon as its tone and tendency was
discovered (which were in disapprobation of
O'Conneil's speech) the reading was sus
pended, by an objection on the ground thai
it was unconstitutional for the Association
to meddle with matters foreign to the queay
Hon oi icepeai. A violent debate took place.
One of the members said the report was a
tirade of abuse of O'Connell, "one of the
best men that ever lived," which he. the
speaker, would not tamely sit by and hear,
nd lie asked every Irishman to stand by
hinv and not allow that to be done. This
waa responded to by deafening shouts of ap-
plaufte. Mr. Dunn, appealed to the Socie
ty to stand by the Liberator, and shield him
from the breath of slander, and to crush in
its incipiency that which if sent abroad as
the voice of the Association might tarnish
the Liberator's reputation, f But is the slan
deroes breath of the impertinent Liberator
to be allowed a charter as large as the wind
to blow as hejists, and is there no reputation
but his, worthy of being shielded? )
The advocates of the report replied in
calm, respectful language. The report, it
was argued, was cnurteoun and proper in its
laiiguago honorable to O'Connell. It was
contended that O'Connell had committed an
enpr in tha language he had used towards
the institutions and people of this country,
and that it was due to him and this couutry
and people that (he Association should en
deavor to correct lhe.it. . In answer to the
objection that the Society had nothing to do
with the subject, it was asked if we have
a right to band together to protect ihepeo
pie of Ireland, who shall say thai we have
not a right to protect the people of our own
countryr' The speakers in behalf of the
reading and acting upon the repoit, were
warmly applauded. At a late hour a motion
for discharging the Committee i. c. drop
ping the subject was lost by a laige vole,
and the Association adjourned.
We trust the Philadelphia Association
will act, and that all the American Repealers
will act on this subject. It is due to the
country and to themselves that 'they should
denounce the slanders of O'Connell upon
onr people and the improper alliance be
tween the great Repeal Association of Dub
lin and the Northern Abolitionists thai they
should rebuke as becomes them, the pledge
that as soon ss Ireland is free, a crusade
will be directed against a large portion of our
own country by the Repealer. This course
will be especially proper for their own vin
dication from any suspicion that may arise
of a want of fidelity to the land of their adop
tion. Mr. Robert Tyler, in his late "tiip to
Boston," as a part of his "father, the Presi
dent's' suite, mide speeches at Repeal
meetinsr in Providence and Boston. He
said nothing about O'Conneil's speech and
the alliance between the Abolitionists and
Repealers. Mr. T. ought most decidedly
to have mentioned this highly important
episode in the agitations of the great Agita
tor. Mr. T. was fervid and sanguine
he told hia audience that the man now lived
who would write tha epitaph of Robert
Em melt; "for that sainted patriot and most
eloquent statesman, said Mr. T., "desired
with his dying breath lhat no man ahould
write his epitaph until his country should be
free." Z Collins Lee and other gentlemen
wlie went North in company with the Pre-j
sioent a suites addressed the meeting.
.... .. - . i
'The papers contain Mr- K. Tyler a letter
to O'Connell, in which herknowedgvs
the reception of the resolution oQhunks from
the Repealers. If he haa been over zealous
in the cause' of Ireland, he taya it mast be
attributed to his "peculiar temperament, and
partly to the influence of the Republican in
stitutions under which it is my (his) privil
ege to live." - f ' - -; -
A meet'ng of Repealers has f een held in
Charleston, S. C. which was addressed hy
the Hoti. II. L. Pinckney and others. Re
solutions of sympathy .were adopted. The
Ami-Slavtry speech was net raeaikmed; bat
we predict it ivill meet its' Charleston the

General is certainly enveloped in a fog; he
emits smoke and cloudy vapours, charged in
a high degree with anti-whig thunders, that
roll and reverberate among his audience and
make altogether a confounded noise and rat
ling: but no healthful showers follow; no
refreshing, fructifying floods of practical
sense. He is all the time on a strain, he
evidently is mimicking, in sn humb'e way,
Mr. Calhoun, and gets himself into a pass

imaginary bug-bear, and then again, eftsoons
works himself into1 an agony of lelicilalion,
at some far off glory, some dim day star that
nobody can see, unless, like him and Mr.

mental vision, which though it b inds them
to realities, gives a very distinct apprehen
sion of dancing stars and flashing meteors,

and the efforts of neighborhood oracles who
I know, are in the daily habit of telling their
followers the democrats are for a Bank.
Once let all the people know that thclocofo-

let them know this, and let them be shamed
for permitting their dictators to force ihe
yoke upon them, and there w ill be a break
