Arrired at Poplar Lawn, Mr. Clay Was conducted to a rostrum, in .whkk were eated the officers of the Clay Club, He wu men addressed oy vm KoDeriaoa, Esq, who in short but most appropriate peceh, expressed the unmixed pleasure. which Mr. Clay s presence in retersDurg gave to his friends. . In reply, Mr. Clay , commenced by re turning his thanlfs for the kind terms in which he had been presented to the as sembled ' crowd by Mr, Robertson, and for the cordial greetings with which his first visit to letrsburgbad been welcomed. He said that when about leaving his home fur New Orleans, some four months since, he received a letter of invitatioiS to visit Petersburg, from his friends ia this town, which, in conformity with the rule he had prescribed to himself of not. deviating from tbTrort - wbteVaif pwriewi engagfBienfc obliged. lam to follow, -'ne had respectfully declined; but learning from a second com munication that his journey from Raleigh to Norfolk could as conveniently be per formed by the way of Petersburg as by any other route, he had gladly availed him self olrhe opportunity thus afforded of see ing, for the nrst time, tins luterostiny por tion of his TiSirvesiale""-""" Having' tone to New Orleans on private business, he had taken advantage of the only opportunity, whih in all prohabili tv, would ever re afforded him, of visiting mat ponton oi toe country comprised oy Alabama, Ojorgia and the Carolinas, and ol redeeming a promise, .sometime since made, of visiting nis friends in North Car olina. More than two years ago, he said. he hda been invited to .IN. varolina, and was on the point of accepting the invita tion, but learr ng that bis friends in that State, intended at that time, to place him in nomination for the Presidency, he promptly deferred the pleasure ofa visit to aome.fu4uM timeTh Whig members of tW laa L-iltre havie reminded 4rinr Of that rom s , he had paid them a visit this snrin?. Every" where on his extended route; Mr Clay said, he had been welcom ed with the most cordial hospitality, ex tended to htm alike by Whig and Demo crat, and it was not until he approached the confines of Virginia, bis native state that the spirit of pnrty had manifested it self against him. lrrefiWfoWa8ti1ro from Ral eigh, he must (ravel through some part of this State, or turn back, una he said, that those who knew him, knew full well that it was not his habit to turn back; but that when he had taken his course, he always followed it. He thought he might venture, without reproacli, to place his foot on his natal soil, to eniov the birth riffht, to which. as a native of Virginia--theS!asJiesjf. Hanover he ft It that he had some claim But, (holJin? in his hand an extract from the Richmond Enquirer of Tuesday Inst,) he wns startled to find that his old Juven ile Friend Aa. Ton Ritchie. would.deny to him the hospitality, which even the Sav age m bts wigwam, -woiHJ extend to tne stranger. , Mr. Clay here read to the audience a portion of the article from the Enquirer, advising the dcmOcbACY of Petersburg to avoid his presence, and by their conduct to rebuke him for daring to visit their town; and he followed the reading with a com mentary of such withering sarcasm and ridicule, as it is impossible either to des cribe or foieet. Wi have heard of torture by the rack and at the stake, but we hud raithcr resort to Ihem for hecrkatiox, than to have been the subject oLt he condign punishment which Mr. Clay inflicted on tha : Editor ef the- Richmond Enquirer, That theee-orders of Mrr-Tom-Ritchie lift1 Kaan sl ti t mA sV A t a TiamAsata of Mtsu wvu a v .'w n t- u vw asi v iviiivvisim I I 1 Petersburg snd the adjacent countier.asP0'r M,8nr " prated by the fact, that amrdst ths dense A0,,,ure; f.. mssswhfch MnpunedJahe.eJftU be seen thefaces of manyardent demo crats, lighted up with the f nioyment of the Cist igatinn which was administered to their churlish leader. Mr. Clay assured the Democrats that Mr. Ritchie was mistaken in saying that he had come among them as "an Election eercrr and-as a Conquering Hero" that he should ask no man for his Vote, that he should brinjr neither "War, Pes tilence nor Famine" among them.' And if such had been bis designs if he had come " to plant his foot" on the soil of Vir ginia ns an invading foe or ruthless op pressor, why are the Democrats of the Old Dominion invoked to flee from his approach. why does not Gsncral Kitch ii plant himself at the head of his follow ers to meet and drive him back ! t -.II iaid that this article was in charac ter ivitU the course pursued W wsfds' him by General Ritchie for twenty years past. On every -flueslioo of public interest he wilfully perverted, and illiberally declined to publisr, his views and spcecbe?. 1 bale ven on the cxcitincr and momentous, topic of Abolition, h had often grossly misrep resented his opinions, ml then . refused to undeceive his readers by the publication of his speeches on this subject. Mr. Clay said that be had been before charged with ambition never until now with dishones ty; that he was ambitious above all things too an honest man. Illiberal and unjust towards him i as had been , the political course of General Ritchie, he did not sop pose that even be wduld deny to him the jhroughit in. the pursuit of his journey homeward. . , " He made no boast of -his own hosDitali- ly, but he had'never allowed political dif ferences to interfere with the rites of hos pitality, which he fell to be due from him alike to his acquaintances of all parties who bsppened to visit his bwn State. He had evinced this disposition- towards 'the only member of Air. Kitchie s family who had been in the vicinity of his residence. And on the occasion of Mr. Van 13 men's tour through the Southern and Wes'ern States, be not only received him as his own guest for several days when'he reach ed Kentucky, but requested his political friends to join he cortege assembled nt Lexington for his reception. Mr. Van Buren s tour was a much more extended one thsn his (Mr. C's) would be, yet Mr. Ritchie thought his fMr. V B.'a) desreto visit these interesting por. litm.'$iBjs OeinduJeeo. tint the instant that he (Mr. C. approaches the land of his nativity.

This sentiment has been expressed by several intelliartit gentlemen whoso views of the TanH question had been different from his own. We shall not attempt any thing like a sketch of his r marks on this and the other prominetit questions of the. day which he reviewed no this occasion. He said he was opposed (o ultraism on he rsnff 'oetton a ereernr'"iwimeT-'"'WM'tri ultra fVerrrde-dorni!Trort'The "one std-1 nor with views f some who favoured such a teste of duties as would amount to prohibition, on the oilier side.

In support of this position, Mr Clsr presented several new and tonclu rlusie illustrations. A an example. he saul take two articles ol a man s wear mg apparel, one ot which may be pro duced at home, and the other not, it matters not to the consumer whether the whole dirty In be paid by him is laid on one article, and the other lelt kee or whether he . pats half the amount of the duty on each artule.-ohd yet the domes- tie manulscturer would be great y benefitted by adopting the form instead ot. the latter principle, uut we should do injustice to his masterly argu ment on this all important question if w. undertook from memory alune tofurnisl an idea of it to oar readers. On the suhject ofa National U.nk, he said that his own opinions and rnnvirtinns were well known throughout tne coun 'J : He believed that snrli s nation as Un ws en tilled to a National Currtney, as well as to a National Army or a Nstiunat Jiavy to an Instito'ion whirh should co'ohterarl and dt-fend us from the non our-eommrrce the JNational insti Prance, or any other rivsT country, as much as to ah Army or Navy of our own to defend oursuil, and our right.
