This eminent statesman is a native of the county of Hanover, in Virginia. 1 ir.anied. be c.mnmeccd that political career which lie has ever since so unremittingly pursued, and which Ii conferred such signal benefits upon his country. It was in that year ( 1T9G) that the memorable alien and sedition laws became the subject of so much contention throughout the Union ; and in nune of the States was the disputation more warmly maintained than in Kentucky. In the midst of this angry and doubtful conflict, Mr. Clay unhesitatingly threw himself into the ranks of the opposition, and young ns he was, he was soon able to produce tue most powerful and for tunate effect in bis zeal for the popular rights, lie sometimes addressed the crowd from a wagon, a scaffold, or in a cabin, or in a court house, just as opportunity presented. It was on these occasions that the dawn of his unrivalled eloquence was dis played. The people listened with delight to his speeches, and became speed idly convinced of the unconstitutionality and pernicious tendency of the contested laws. A young man of such powers of mind, openness of sentiment and firmness of resolution, could not be suffered to remain loiigin privale life, and as soon as age rendered him eligible, lie was elected to a seat in the state legislature, although he was at the time absent from the neighborhood. The elections in Kentucky continued open for three days. On the last day of the election he happened to return home, and received the first intimation of his being a can didate from some of the electors, whom", as he ap proached the vicinity of Lexington, he met coming from the polls. From this time, Mr. Clav continued to be a lead ing member of the House of Representatives of Kentucky, until IbOC, when he was elected to the Senate of the United States, to serve the remainder of the term for which governor Adair, who had re signed, was elected. The next season, Mr. Clay, again entered the Legislature of Kentucky, of which he continued an active and efficient member, until the year 1809, when he was again transferred to the .Senate of the United States. During this second period of his services in the National .Senate he greatly distin guished himself «11 two memorable questions, first related to the occupation, by President Madi son, of that part of Louisiana which lies between the Mississippi & the Perdido, and is usually called West Florda. 1 lis speech on this occasion was a triumphant vindication of Mr. Madison's conduct, and was gene rally admitted to display more research into the na ture of our claim to the territory in question, and to afford stronger proofs of its validity than that made hv any other member. Mr Clay entered the House of Representatives, on the 4th of November, 1811, and or. the same day was elected Speaker. In that station, it is believed that no man ever acquitted himselfwith more firmness, dignity and impartiality; and • et no man ever presided over a body more violently agitated by the disseutions of party, than the Lower House of Congress has frequently been since he occupied the chair. During the first period of his presiding over its deliberations, preparations were made for the war which was declared in 181C. He was indefatigable in his exertions to maintain the cause of the country, and to place it in a con dition to meet the crisis. feet by it The th® are are at iui under of 5 30, cts. While Mr. Clay remained in the House of Re presentatives he never ceased encouraging the dis heartened, and contributing all in his power, to a vigorous prosecution of the war. He declared in favor of the imposition of taxes for that object, im mediately at its commencement, which would have averted many of the subsequent financial em barrassments ; but he, Mr. Choves, and their co iuljutors were overruled Ly the cautious policy of if the cabinet. Without solicitation, an,l we believe, even with out expectation no his part, he was in January 1 G 14, best. appointed one of the ministers to treat for peace, tit He signed the treaty at Ghent, and repaired to Lon- ! rion. where he assisted in concluding the convention 1 ting 0 f London, the basis of all subsequent commercial is policv . 1 Luring his absence from the United States, and j t |, .

"cLy'dedined an election tothe seventeenth r J , Vr . ... . , . Congress. I o the eighteenth, he was elected without opposition : and on his appearance in the ' House of Representatives, on the first of Decern her, _1B23, lie was once more elected speaker by ' 'ho first ballot. When he resigned the chair, at the second session of the sixteenth Congress, the V house was employed three days in electing its spoil- tl er; and on the meeting of the seventeenth Con gress, it was employed two days. But such was the general satisfaction' that Mr. Clay always gave ; ^ such was the dignity and ability with which he pre sided over that body, that in no instance was more than one ballot necessary to determine the election ;| in his lavor. IBs speech on Internal Improvements during the succeeomg session, was considered the best ever offered to the public on that subject. His tW exertions in the Greek cause were animated and zealous, as might have been expected in a cause so congemal to bis wellknown liberality and phihm- „ throphy ot principles and feelings. On the 111 riff. ( . be also exerted himself powerfully in behalf of do mestic industry.—This is indeed, a topic on which [, lie lias often delighted the House of Représenta- j „ ttves with some of the imest effusions ot eloquence xv that ever.flowed within its walls. When the present chief Magistrate of the nation ,| came into power, Mr. Clay received the appoint- as ment of Secretary cf State, in which office, helms since continued. In fulfilling the arduous duties at tached to this station, helms exhibited the same energy and promptitude the same deep states man like abilities, and the same uncompromising in tegrity, which has characterised his whole political , career. Mr. Clay's personal appearance is much in his g favor as a public speaker. He is about six feet high, straight, and although inclined to slenderness, yet of very pleasing proposions. His Imir is light colored ; his forehead high, and rather retiring, j His eyes are blue, and slightly sunk in their sock ets ; bis nose is somewhat prominent, and his mouth ! a little larger than usual. His cheekbones are high ! and his cheeks thin ; his face is therefore narrow, hut of a good proportion in length. His comité nance taken altogether strongly expresses energy, ■ I firmness, and intelligence ; and his whole deport ment, although dignified and commanding, is yet af fable, uoTceiïble and easy. When he rises to speak, he generally stands erect; hot as headvane.es with his subject, and becomes animated, which he soon does, his courv tenance brightens, his gestures become active and exceedingly impressive, evidently flowing natural ly and spontaneously from the earnestness with which he urges his opinions, and therefore are al ways appropriate and pleasing. Over his voice he has the most perfect command, being capable of inodulating it to every degree of force emphasis necessary to give effect to his language and sen l j men( We may sum up the character of this illustrious American, by saying, that as a patriot, no man has ever evinced more sincerity ; as a statesman, none gacitv and promptitude ; as a philanthropist, 5 been more importantly active and useful ; a of an his the na to more sa none ha and as an orator, it would be difficult to find one in any country by whom soundness, brilliancy, and force have been more happily united or more effec tively displayed. MR. WEBSTER'S ADDRESS, AT THE DINNER IN FANEUIL HALL. The following was the second toast :— Our distinguished guest—worthy the noblest homage which free men can give, or a free man re ceive : the homage of their hearts. After the hearty and oft repeated cheering that responded to the sentiment had subsided, Mr. WEBSTER rose and said— Mu. President : The honour conferred by this occasion, as well as the manner in which the meeting has been pleased to receive what has now been proposed to them from the chair, requires from me a most respectful ac knowledgment, and a few words of honest and sin cere thanks. I should, indeed, he lost to all just feelings, or guilty of a weak aud puerile affectation, if I should fail to' manifest the emotions, which are excited by these testimonials of regard, from those among whom i live, who see me oftenest & know me best. If the approbation of good men be an object tit to he pursued, it is fit to be enjoyed—if it be, as ! doubtless it i«, one of the most stirring and invigora 1 ting motives which operate upon the human mind, it is also among the richest rewards which console and gratify the heart. I confess myself particularly touched and affect ed, Mr. President and gentlemen, by the kind feel ings which you manifest towards me, as your fellow citizen, yom- neighbour and your friend. Respect and confidence, i» these relations of life, he at the foundation ot all valuable character. I hey are essential to solid or permanent reputation as to datable social happiness. I assure you, sir, with the utmost sincerity, that there is nothing which flows from human approbation or applause, no dis tmclion, however high or alluring, no object of am bitipo, which could possibly be brought witj.in the horizon ol my view, that would tempt me, m any degree, justly to forfeit the attachment ol mypn b J f d mv h<) i d as a citizen '.be tilends, or sui lender my noiu, a» a citizen and a neighbour, on the confidence of the commu rj&ixxrs&icfSiz: ««II. ™i «ta*i '.till hop, to „main, in thi cnr. 0 i „,.„,1 ~a: * Qnf i *i in lwo-a,.»,.. .[.J " ommelH i at i' nn which the meeting 1ms be Mowed on my attempts at public service, lam con scums, is measured rather bv their own kindness . , . of those attemnts no ' ' J'. .. , ', ' .. , .

The candid interpretation xv |,i c |, i, a s been given tothat vote, by those who dis approved it, and the assembling together here, for ,| lt; | )U ,p„ se 0 f this occasion, of those who felt pain, as vv( .|i as those who felt pleasure, at the success of the measure for which the vote was given, afford at- aln p\ ( . p n) of, how far unsuspected uprigirtness of in tention, and the exercise of an independent judgment may be respected, even by those who differ from the in- results to which that exercise of judgment lias amv , H |. There is no class of the community, for whose interests I have ever cherished a more sincere re his g it rd, than that, on whose pursuits some parts of the feet measure alluded to, bear with great severity. They are satisfied, 1 hope, that in supporting a measure in any degree injurious to them, I must have been gov j erned by other paramount reasons, satisfactory to my own conscience, and that the blow, inflicted on. ! their interests, was felt by me almost as painfully high ! and heavily, as it could be by those on whom it inl mediately fell. I am not now about to enter into reasons of that vote or to explain the necessity un • der which I found myself placed, by a must strange and unprecedented manner of legislation, of taking af- the evil of a public measure for the sake of its good : the good and the bad provisions relating to different subjects, having not the slightest connexion with and each other, yet yoked together, and kept together, for reasons and purposes which I need not state, as and they have been boldly avowed, and are now before the public. _ ... with It was my misfortune, sir, on that occasion, to al- differ from my most estimableand worthy colleague, he And yet probably, our difference was not so broad of as it might seem. IV e both saw, in toe same mea sure, something to approve and something to disap sen- prove. If it could have been left to us to mould and frame it according to our opinions ot what the good of the country required, there would have been no has diversity of judgement between us, as to what shou d none ''ffve been retained and wiat rejected he only difference was, when the measure had assumed ltf ; shape, whether the good it contained so far predonderated over its acknowledged evil, as to jus tify the reception and support of the whole together. On a point of this sort, and under circumstances such as those in which we were placed, it is not strange that different minds should incline, different ways. It gives me great pleasure to bear testimony to the constancy, the intelligence, and the conscious fidelity with which my colleague-discharged his public duty, in reference to this subject. I am happy also to have the opportunity cf saying, that it toe bill had been presented to me, in the form it was in when it received a negative vote from the distinguish ed gentleman who represents this District, my own opinion of it would have entirely concurred with his, d I should have voted in the same manner. The meeting will indulge me with one further re mark, before parting from this subject. It is only the suggestion, that in the place I occupied I was one of the Representatives of the whole common wealth. I was not at liberty to look exclusively to the interests of the District in which I live, ami which 1 have heretofore had the high honour ol repre presenting. i was to extend my view from Sam in and effec re that Mr. as to from ac sin just an
