K; rolk -an extract from a letter (as the Reporter understood, perhaps speech) of his, in M'hich he came Out in favor of works of in ternal improveraerit by the General Govern ment within the Slates. He was just so in re gard to every thing.- This was what the great Democrat party had .brought out; for' the four mile heat at t the fall races! A little, beaten, broken-winded, foundered, spring-halt, shuffling, spavined, bob-tail f nag 4 of Tennessee, 1 to c run against the great Eclipse ! (Much laughter, and some punning amng the Democratic mem bers.) There was a, turning up of the nose, a sense of the ridiculous, in the mcre; idea of the parallel. - One had been identified with all the great events and measures in our political history Tor the last; forty years. : A man- ay I every inch a man, in heart and intellect, a firm ness, grasp, and comprehension of mind, a whole head and shoulders above any man: that ever had set bis footprint on this continent, save one only. AVhen the tyrant power of Greai Brit ain was seizing our citizens, and confining them in the loathsome duQgepn of a prison ship,fwhose voica was it that sjourfded In thunder tones of indignation through the land, loud and long and - deep, . till ; the i injury was redressed Henry Clay. -And when another crisis! arose in our affairs- a crisis' which shook the govern ment of the country tor its centre, which caused the good man. and ihe 'patriot to turn pale, and made Jefferson hiniself declare that ft struck up on his spirit like an alarm bell in the dead hour of night, who was lit that came to the Rescue," threw himself into; thej breach, and saed his conntry? Henry Clay. And then in that oth er critical and trying hour, when the flag of dis union was raised in South Carolina, and the laws of the Union were resisted at the cannons mouth, while we had in the chair of state1 a man of iron nerve and lion! heart who swore' by the Eternal that the laws; should be executed, and that if one gun was' fired by South Carolina "he would hang Calhoun ahd McDuffie, andjHayne and .Hamilton, and thej other leaders of the re bellion, as high asiHaman," who was it that came again as our deliverer, with a heart deep.' ly penetrated by the crisis of his country's fate," and casting on the issue all he held dear in life, once more, by his, prudence, moderation, and skill, assuaged the angry elements, and rescued this fair land from the horrors of civil discard? It was Henry Clay! .When the hour of danger came, there Was he ; and wherever ho came,' danger , was quelled, disorder fled, andT public prosperity smiled upon her restorer. Now, look on this picture And on that--the counterfeit pre sentment of two candidates. Tis Hyperion to a Satyr. As well compare a mousing jowl to the imperial bird of Jove, that sprang aloft ahd soared into the very sun. 7 ?; Mr. P. wished to say a few more words on this General Polk--no, hot general, hie never rose quite as high as that.
