MIL CLAY. ' , i ; j ' ; just and eloquent tribute Tlie following to this distinguished Statesman, is from a letter dated at Washiugton, the 29th ult. and publishtd in the Baltimore Patriot: And here, speaking of Mr. Clay, I cannot but remark how much this country owes him i Never did he appear better with morevefoquence, Inore brilliant dis plays of a lofty intellect or with more magnanimous views, than during the pre sent session of Congress. How active. Untiring, fearless he7 has been? defying power, and scorning the minions oF pow-er--in the foremost rankf his country's defenders, and yet acting with the pru dence and skill becoming' the crisis! i am no man-worshipper. -Great names and high stations, I nope, have no inftu ence over me. The more I see of men' the less I think of station aud of public honms. ;But notwithstanding all this, I feelj that-although Henry Clay is but one j ot us, yet he is an unconmon, a nugnty man. j I think I see a pure and noble spirit, which, though it is of us, and a mong us, is yet above us -speaking and moulding thru feelings of others, and act ing Inat part in the councils of his coun try now, which posterity will envy us lor witnessing and which they will look up on and applaud with wain hearts and eloquent lips, flow much.bas he done for his country? Look athim during the war Look at him on the Missouri ques tion. Look at him on the Lompromise How much he sun endered of friends mm . . m lViiL and friendship to that daring step. Look at hint now, as bold and heroic as ever never flinching, never keeping in the back grfTund with his colours always aloTt and tell me who, can, that such a man is not a Patriot. Ambitious if he be, ambitious only to serve his country. Talk of glory," ami talk of "New Orleans, "the luslre of , which victory I would never dim but what do thev com pare with the services twice rendered by Henry Clay ? Services which I solemnly believe, have twice saved our Union from a dismemberment. Those reflections have been aroused from the manner in which Mr. Clay to day responded to a compliment from Mr. Mangum, of N. Carolina, in alluding to his Compromise bill. Give me not all the honor, he said, for, my humble servi ces, as there was another gentleman, from a Utile, but gallant State, (Mr. Clayton, of Delaware) who was as instrumental as I was in bringing this about. This dis claiiner is but a single trait in the char acter of Henry Clay the man whom so many harnessed presses now abuse, and wbo, as they abuse him, rises higher and higher in public estimation. , But give me his fame, and I would scorn the Pre sidency as 1 should feel prouder of be ingitero, the orator, and the preserver nf Rme, than of being the Consul of Hont, EXTRACT FROM MR. EAVING'S REMARKS, ON THE PRESIDENT'S PROTEST, In the Senate of the United States. Sir, cast back your eves for but eight short yea over the history of the coun try, and you will see by what combination of circumstances those powers have been gathered, and concentrated in a single hand it is an instructive, but mournful retrospection. But what then was the situation of our country ? What is it now? And what has produced the rapid and alarming change? Within thattime,strong and marked divisions, partly of principle, partly sectional, developed themselves in the nation, took strong possession of the public mind, and fixed the attention, and absorbed the feelings, of the people. Our Constitution, and the powers which 4t confers upon the National IieislatTrc, became a subject of deep and al1-pervad. inginterest the one would limit to the strict letter of ihe instrument, the other would; extend, by a faiional and necessa ry intendment, thosa powers. .The pre sent Chief Magistrate, and thte who most adhere to hvrn,' assumed a doubtful station, now flattering the hopes, and now alarming the tears,vof each of the contend '.i60111684 was encouraged and kept up avi t If fierceness and violence. Public at tention was fixed and centered upon that struggle, while the Executive was some times gradually, at other times, by a bold and sudden wrench drawing and seizing all the powers of GoVernineufco rii?ielf j and even those who watched the Legisla tive power with the jfiiost suspicious jea lousy, permitted his. enormous strides to dominion for a long time to pass unheed ed, and without censure. Heavily did the vessel f State labor in her onward coure under this various pressure. i - " Harder beset, ".r.d morip endangered, than vhien Arg-o passed ?'t hroUgli Bospborus betwixt the juttmg r-.-cks ?

I man v as the utmost But tliose years passed by, and behel us J a happy people ; our political -atmosphere ' an-itated bv no -storm, and scarce a cloud to obscure the serenity of our horizon all of the present, was prosperity ; aU of the future, hope. True, upon the day of that anniversary two venerated fathers of our freedom and of our cHintry fell, but they sunk calmly to rest, in the maturity of vears and in the fullness of time ; and their simultaneous departure on that day of jubilee, for another and a better world, was hailed, by our nation as a propitious sign, sent to us from Heaven. Wander ing the other day in the alcoves of the li brary, I accidentally opened a volume containing the Orations delivered by ma ny distinguished men on that solemn oc casion, and I noted some expressions of a few who now sit in this Hall, which are deep fraught with the then prevailing. I may say universal, feeling. It is inquired by one, Is this the effect of accident or blind chance, or has that God, who holds in his hand the dostiny of nations and of men, designed these things as an evidence of the permanence and perpetuity of our institeiions ?" Another says, Is it not stamped with the seal of Divinity r' Aiid a third, descanting on the prospects bright and glorious hich opened on our beloved country, says, Auspicious omens cheer US. Strong spirits (I use the, term in the sense in which the French academici ans u4e it. les fort tsvrils) strong spirits V mm' i ,nay sm.vr at these impressions, which oi e"i,e ttsnriiie Vf feelnir rather than of reason, and which resolve themselves into no philosophical connection uf cause and consequence : Sed mi, infirmior sum Unus niultorum I do not, and I cannot wholly deny their influence. . Yet it w-ould have required but a tinge of superstitious gloom, to have drawn from that event darker forebodings of that which was to come. In our primitive wilds, where the order of nature is unbroken by the hand of man ; there, "where majestic trees arise, spread forth their branches, live out their age, and decline, sometimes will an ancient patriarchal plant, which has stood for centuries the winds and storms, fall when no breeze agitates a leaf of the trees that surround it. And when, in the calm stillness of the sum mer's moon, the solitary woodsman hears on either hand the heavy crash of huge branchless trunks, falling by their own .weight to tlw; earth whence they sprung, prescient of the future, he foresees the whirlwind at hand, which shall sweep through the forest, break its strongest stems, upturn its deepest roots, and strew in the dust its tallest, proudest heads. But I am none of those who indulge in gloomy anticipation. I do not despair of the Republic. My trust is strong that the gallant ship, in which all our hopes are embarked, wiilyct outride the storm j saved alike from the breakers and billows of disunion, and the greedy whirlpool the alJ-eiigulphing maelstroom of Execu tive powerthat unbroken,- if not unhar med, she may pmsue her prosperous voy age far down the stream of time ; and that the banner of our country, which npw waves over us so proudly, will still floai in triumph "-borne on the winds of lia ern, fanned by the breath of lame, every stripe. blight and unsullied, every star fixed in its sphere, ages after each of us now here shall have ceased to gaz.e on its majestic folds for ever. In the Senate, on Friday, Mr. Clay, from the Committee on Public Lands, to which had been relerred the bill appro priating, for -a limited time, the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, reported iKa camp with nnipiiilmuriti: !4 Id made a detailed report, purporting to be an aiiswer to the Veto Message of the President of the United States, on re turning the Laud Bill of the last session of Congress, with Ids objections.

CASE OF RIOT. From the Pliiladelphia Inquirer, Jllay 1. A case of riot was a day or two since de cided by. the Mayor'sCourt, which we tlink it well to notice as a matter of ad mOiihmenl. We derive the j)articuJars frooi a report in the Sentinel. It appears that agcntleman from Virgiuia had caused a black boy, a runaway slave of his, to be arrested in Philadelphia, and on a certain day, before Archibald Randall, Esq. a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, the case was tried according to the forms pre scribed by the laws of this. State, and a decree of restitution was awarded in fa vor of the master. During the whole of the trial, the Court House was crowded with blacks, among whom there appeared to be great excitement. Several of these defendants were examined as witnesses j it was plainly to be perceived. by the offi cers who had the slave in custody, that a rescue would be attempted and some precautionary measures were therefore adopted. Mr. Donnahower, a constable, previous Ho their leaving the court room, had fast ened the slave's wrist to his own declar ing that if they carried off the slave, they should take him along with them. The t.fiicers'left the court room from the door fronting the. Slate House yard, and hur ried to get into the first carriage that might be convenient upon the stand in I Sixth street. The black rushed out through the door (routing on Sixth street, uttering cries of there,-they go," stand, by," Sac. and .with many other threatening cries and gestures, .evincing a determination to commit some act of violence. The carriage was immediately surround ed by several hundred blacks, amongst whom could be observed women, exciting and participating in the scene. A dis turbance here took place, which might have resulted in the Joss of lives, had uut the rioters been met with great firmness and forbearance on thenar t of the officers. '. .
