From the Globe of Monday
R B RANDOLPH.
In this dav <>f wonders, nothing has surprised
us mire than the efforts to produce excitement
in Virginia in consequence of the arrest of this
individual, f<>r a debt claimed to be due to the
United States. Although the affair ought to be
left to the courts of justice, yet the misrepresenta
tions of those who seem to hate the President
Somu(h that thev are ever ready to take the
part ol defaulters and criminals agaiust the ad
mioialiation, make a plain statement of facts
prop, r m our part.
V trtito'ph was charged with the amount for
w ,n iie is arrested, in the Fourth Auditor s
O.C., e, subsequent to the Court of Inquiry in
• f.ise, and he himself explicitly, and in tori*
tiiig, acknowledged the justice of every charge,
and promised to account in the manner required
bv the Fourth Auditor. In relation to the hea
viest item, be never made an effort to account;
ami in an account current rendered by him, he
attempted to meet the other items by a parcel
of claims, some of which had notoriously passed
to his credit—some had no foundation—and
some, if founded in truth, (which was very
doubtful) were merely equitable in their nature,
and such as the accounting officers of the Trea
sury have no power to allow. It appeared that
all his just claims and more, had been allowed
in 1827, and uot the shadow ot a legal voucher
<liil ho nrii.liir.H for anv one of those now set up.
Of course, none of them were allowed, and the
whole amount charged, as he admitted justly*
was left standing to his debit.
He was informed of the result* by a letter
from the Fourth Auditor, dated in April, 1833.
No lurther effort was made by him to reduce
the amount standing to his debit, although to
make it considerable less, he had only to show
What portion of stores sold by him to the ship s
company belonged to him, and wliat to his pre
decessor. Being soon after, dismissed Irom the
service, he betook himself to offering personal
indignity to the Chief Magistrate, and threaten
ing vengeance upon the accounting officers of
the Treasury ai* others, instead of adjusting his
account.
An Act of Congress, passed 15th May, 1820.
provides, “That from and after the 30th day of
September next, if any officer employed, or who
has been heretofore emp'-oyed, in the civil, milita
ry or naval departments of the government, to
disburse the public money appropriat' d for the
service of those departments respectively, shall
fail to render his accounts or pay over in the
manner and in the tunes required by law, or the
regulations of the department to which he is ac
countable, aov sum of money remaining in the
hands of the officer, it shall be the duty of the
First or Second Comptroller of the Treasury,
as the case may be, who shall be chargpil willi
the revision of the accounts of such officer, to
cause to be stated and certified the account of
such delinquent officer, to the Agent of the Trea
hury, who is hereby authorized and f&juiftd im
mediately to proceed again** such delinquent
officer in die same manner as directed in the pre
ceding section,” &c.
The “manner” directed in the preceding sec
tion is “to issue a warrant of distress against
such delinquent officer shall reside,” Stc.j “there
in specifying the amount with which such delin
quent is chargeable,” &.c. “And the Marsha',”
ice. “shall proceed to levy and collect tne sum re
maining due by distress and sale of the goods and
chattels of such delinquent officer,”&c $ “ and if
the goods and chatties be not sufficient to satisfy
the said warrant, the same may be levied upon the
person of such officer, who may be committed
to prisun, there to remain until discharged by due
cuorse of law,” &c.
'Pi.- 1*1. iii,*s tKn aof nrnvifUc •Mhilt if
any peraon should consider himself aggrieved by
any warrant issued under this act,he may prefer a
bit! of complaint to any district judge of the Uni
ted Slates seiting forth therein the nature and ex
tent of the injury of which hr complainsjand there
upon the judge aforesaid may, if in his opinion
the case require* it, grant an injunction to stay
proceedings on such warrant altogether, or so
much thereof as the na*ure of the case, requires;
but no injunction shall issue till the party apply*
mg for the same shall give bond and sufficient se
curity conditioned for the performance of such
judgment as shall be awarded against the said
complaint.” 5tc.
The following points should be particularly re
membered, to understand the case, viz:
1 The process lies not only against a dixbur
sinj officer, against whom there is a liquidated
balance only, but also against one who has failed
to render his account It lies against one who
does not o*c the United States a cent, provided
lie Kas not rendered accounts in such in tnnur as
to obtain his proper credits. Randolph himself,
acknowledged the justice of the changes against
him; he rendered an account equal to about half
of it, in which there was not an item for which
he was entitled to a credit; anti for the balance
he has rendered no account whatever. The pro
cess, therefore, lies against him for the whole a
mount.
2. This process is not only authorized, but di
rected hv law. The language,of the law is *•the
Agent of the Treasury is hereby authorized and
REQUIRED immediately to proceed against
such delinquent q^/icer,” &c. N« discretion is
left to the Agent of the Treasury, new the Soli
citor. He is REQUIRED by the voice of the
law to proceed immediately, &c. He has, in this
case, merely obeyed the law.
3. If the officer owe nothing, or owe a less a*
mount than that which stands charged against
him, the law points out the means by which he
may have the whole matter investigated in a court
of justice Randolph might have kept out of
jail, or may now come out by filing his bill of
complaint and obtaining an injunction. As hit ,
friends have offered to be his security, and he
haa declined their offer, he remains in jail of
choice <
The course pursued towards Randolph ia the j
usual coarse against delinquent disbursing offi
cers, and the one peremptorily COMMANDED i
by laic. If there be anv harshness, it is in the i
law. Neither the accounting officers, nor the |
Secretary of the Treasury, nor the President t
himself, have any control over it; further than to j
see that the laws be faithfully executed (
But Nullification must have its Saints and f
Martyrs. In this case, they have selected a t]
proper object—one who has applied to his own |
use the effects of a deceased brother officer, at
the expense of his widow and orphans— one who
has made himself notorious by committing a new ,
crime in our peaceful country—one who makes
no effort to pay to the government that wh ch
his own friends confess to be due. To the
SuUi/ication Martyr he must remain in jail; and
so determined is he to acquire that distinction,
that he remains there voluntarily•
If public sympathy can be excited and kept
up for such a man under such circumstances, we
tnavii well bum our constitution and laws and
rely upon the despot’s maxim, that “might
makes ri ^ht- ”
In conclusion, it msy be remarked, thnt neith
er the President, nor the Secretary of the Trea
su ry, who are charged, so loudly with oppres
sion, tyranny, &c have any thing more to do
with this matter than Ciov. Floyd- It has
all been done by the Solicitor of the Treasury,
at the command oj the law
We are promised for publication a copy or
the correspondence between the accounting offi
cers and Randolph, which will fully explain the
whole matter of account.
MR. BUCHANAN’S SPEECH.
At the public dinner given to him in Philadel
phia on the 21st.
The Gth toast having been offered, which was
received with the greatest enthusiasm, Mr. Bo
chanan arose, and made the following reph, viz:
Mr. President and Fellow Citizens:
When I accepted your kind invitation to par
take of a public dinner, I stated the only reason
which could, under existing circumstances, have
brought me to this conclusion. It was solely
because I felt a strong desire to increase the
number of mv friends and acquaintances in t hi
ladelphia. Hitherto, I have been personally al
most a stranger in the metropolis of mv native
state. I have long entertained an ardent wish to
change this relation; but business of a public and
private character has heretofore depiivtd me of
the necessary leisure.
The place of my cherished residence is nui a
short distance from your city. Even that dis
tance will be almost removed upon the comple
tion of the rail road. I desire to make personal
friends in Philadelphia. 1 wish hereafter to feel
myself more at home when I visit your ciry. I
do not expect, and I may add I do not desire,
for the present, to go again into public life. I
trust, however, I shall still feel the inclination,
in a private station, of being useful to my state
and to my country. If I can in any degree be
instrumental in drawing closer the cords of friend
ship between the state and its metropolis, I shall
feel that l have performed a good work. Mu
tually supporting and supported, they ought to
be proud of their mutual dependence, and be
deeply sensible that what promotes the prosperi
ty of the one can never fail to be beneficial to
the other.
It is for this reason that I have availed myself
of the common hospitality of our country to
wards their ministers returning from a foreign
mission. I am sensible this honor has been con
j ferred on the public functionary, not on the pri
vale man; but I trust that ere we separate this
evening, I may acquire a portion of your per
sonal regard. The cordial welcome which you
have given me, and the enthusiasm with which
the toast in allusion to myself has just been re
ceived, afford me an assurance that I shall no
longer be a stranger amongst you. They have
made an impression on mv heart which shall ne
ver be effaced.
It is not my intention to advert to all the to
pics to which that toast refers. In it l fed you
have done me much more than justice. There
' is one of them, however, on which I shall indulge
: myself in a few remarks. I refer to the humble
agency I had in the passage of the Bill lor the
j relief of the Insolvent Debtors of the United
! States.
The President, with that enlightened humatn
tv which is the dictate of a clear head and an
honest heart, recommended their relief. Our
merchants, under the impulse of that enterpris
ing spirit which liberty never fails to excite, had
! pushed our commerce into every sea. It was
1 thev who have chiefly paid into the public Trea
> mill inn* hnvp diiirhar dpi! th#» flpht
of the revolution and of the late war. In the
vicissitudes of trade to which they were esposed
by the peculiar condition of the world, many of
them, without the least imputation of fraud, had
contracted debts to the government which they
1 were wholly unable to pay. It was in vain that
their private creditors, convinced of their spot
, less integrity and their utter inability to meet
their engagements, were willing to release them
from responsibility. It was in vain that they had
surrendered up all their property to their gov
ernment and to their private creditors. Still the ,
weight of their debts due to the United States
like a mountain, crushed them to the earth.—
They were unable to engage again in business,
and their enterprise was thus rendered useless to
themselves and to their country From my po ;
sition in the House, it became my duty to take
charge of this subject I did labor in their 1
righteous cause with all my heart; and success
has finally crowned the efforts of their friends.
I have been for ten years in Congress, and gene j
rally took an active part in the business of the j
House; but of all public acts in which I have
ever been engaged, I look back with the most
heartfelt pleasure to the agency which I had in
assisting to pass this law. I feel that in my last I
hour it will be a gratification to me. This mea j1
sure has restored many of our useful citizens to 1
their country, and many husbands and father* to 1
their suffering families. But enough of this. ! J
I never desired to leave my country upon a J
foreign mission. I never should have done so, J
for an indefinite period. Life is too short to '
waste its best years in a foreign land. The pur- j J
pose for which I was sent abroad has been ac-;
complished; but it would be highly improper for 1
me to disclose, whether I had any meritorious j
igency in bringing to a successful conclusion a j.
legotiatiun which had been so long in agitation. /
I rejoice that I am once more on the soil of my i1
:ountry, and am confident I shall never feel an c
Dclination again to quit its happy shores.
Almost every American who has visited Eu- 0
ope has felt his attachment for hi* own country n
nd ita institutions to increase. It is almost im- 11
tossible that it should be otherwise, with any 8
nan who goes abroad under the influence of pro- 1
er feelings. The contrast is indeed striking. *
Kira is the only country on earth where man t(
;els that he ia equal to his fellow man. From e'
ic lowest obscurity, he may rise to the highest^1
public honors, from the most abject poverty to I
affluence. We acknowledge no distinctions ex
cept those which spring from talents, from indus- ;
trr and integrity. It is true that in other coun
tries there have been many individual cases in ,
which men have risen from the lowest to the
highest rank of society. This is the
not the rule. Among all the nations of the old
world, the mass of mankind can by no effort, y
no exertion, rise above the condition »o which
they were born. The most unwearied toil can
accomplish little more than minister to their
mere animal wants.
But it is not the poorer classes alone who are
now regarding us with interest. There is at
present no stiong feeling of security any where
ill Europe. That portion of the globe is now a
vast magazine of gunpowder, and an incautious
hand mav at any time apply the spark which will
produce the explosion. A general war is inevi
table, though it may be delayed. Indeed Iain
convinced, that without a single exception, al>
the Governments desire to preserve peace, and
will preserve it as long as it is possible. Still
they are all armed anil ready tor the battle, bate
controlled the gods of the ancients, and there is
now an a< tive principle every where in operation,
which will control the conduct and thwart the
purposes of the sovereigns of the earth, lhis
war, when it shall come, will be a contest for
principle, between the divine right of kings and
human liberty—between despotism and freedom.
Eveiy man of reflection In Europe, feels that
this is a true picture. History has taught them
that a successful revolution even in favor of a
righteous cause, brings much bloodshed and mis
ery in its tram. They know that in the approach
ing contest theie can be no neutrals It is these
considerations which have directed the eager gaze
of millions in the old world, u pon our country.
This is the true reason why of late we have at
traded so much more attention in Europe, than
we did in former years. May we know how to
appreciate justly the blessings which we enjoy,
and to cherish that liberty which is our best secu
rity!
Our countrymen are not viewed with jealousy
any where. Every where to be an American
citizen, is the best travelling passport. And
why? Because our countrymen abroad have suf
ficient discretion not to make themselves loud
and noisy propagandists. Our best and surest
mode ol extending the blessings of liberty through
out the world, will be found in the silent out pow
erful influence of nur example. To attack the
institutions of other countries only begets oppo
sitiou and jealousy against our own. We are
indebted for this discretion of our countrymen
abroad to the wise policy of the father of his
country, which has since been steadily pursued
bv most of his successors. To preserve the
strictest neutrality in the wars between other na
tions,—never to interfere in their domestic con
cerns, nor suffer them to inlerfeie in ours—to
leave each people to establish and maintain such
governments as they think proper—to acknowl
edge all established governments,—thrs* are 'he
deep foundations on which our foreign policy
hasrestid; and our history has established its
w isdont.
I am not one of those who believe in disinter
ested friendship between nations Interest is
more or less at the foundation of all their attach
ments. The interests of Russia and the United
States can never cotne into collision. Our com
mercial relations have therefore ever been of the
most amicable character, and equally advanta
geous to both parties. These circumstances have
given birth to kindly feelings on their part which
have now become habitual. We all remember
that a short time after the declaration of the late
war with England, the Emperor Alexander offer- j
ed himself a« a mediator. It was then believed
that we could not, single handed, sustain an f
equal contest with the most powerful nation in
the world. It could not then have been fore- I
seen, at least in Russia, that wc should come out J
of the war with glory, and that the valor of our ,
sons both on the land and on the water, would
acquire u» a chaiacter among the nations such as
we never had enjoyed before. It was in the hour
when our prospects were the most gloomy, that
the Emperor Alexander interposed. Since that
time the friendship of the Russian government has
been invariable. The present Emperor has in- ,
herited from his brother feelings of kindness to
wards us as a nation, and they have been more
than once displayed in his conduct upon impor
tant occasions. The American Vice Cousul at
Crunstadt related to me an anecdote so strongly
illustrative of the indulgence with which our
countrymen are treated in Russia, that I shall
take the liberty of repenting it. Constradt is the
port of St. Petersburg, and there the fortifications
exist by which the capital of the Empire must be i
defended. It is therefore a town under the
strictest military government, xet our sailors
are permitted, on the 4tli of July, to go ashore in
a body, to display the stars and the stripes ol our
country, to march through the streets with drums
beating and fifes playing, and to raise the nation
al shout on the anniversary of the day when we
became a free and independent people.
But it is not in Russia alone, that the charac
ter of our country is highly appreciated. The
same respect for us is entertained every where.
We never can, we never ought to be indifferent
to the rank which we occupy in the society of
nations. Never was there a sounder maxim of
policy, nor a purer principle of justice, than that;(
innounced to the world by our present Chief Ma- j :
gistrate; to ask nothing but what it clearly right, j
md to submit to nothing wrong. Acting upon j I
his principle, he has been eminently successful 1
ii our foreign relations. It must be a matter of 1
jride and of pleasure to our countrymen to know j<
he high reputation he enjoys throughout Europe. ! <
[ have mingled much with society abroad, and ! <
:an solemnly declare, that no matter how oppo- <
>ite opinions may have been upon the great ques- 1
ions which now agitate that quarter of the Globe, I
II, without exception, entertain the most exalt- c
d respect for his ability, integrity and firmness. 1
■or obvious reasons I made it a point never to ■
itroduce the subject;'and whereever I have v
een, his character has been a leading topic of I
onversation, and a theme of eulogy. May we c
ot justly anticipate that the present judgment 1
f Europe is but io advance of that which will be l
niversally formed by his own countrymen when tl
ie passions and interests of the day shall have
ibsided, and when posterity shall judge him by •'
te great results of his administration! Abroad
have often heard him compared with Washing- C1
«; though in iny own opinion, no man who has P
rer existed, either in aucient or in modern times, *i
in be fairly compared with the man who will1 tr
ever be first in the hearts of his countrymen, as
long as they are worthy of the liberty they en
jov. . -
There is one subject which has occupied so ma
ny of my anxious thoughts whilst I wa9 absent,
that I must be pardoned for adverting to it a few
moments. I refer to the unhappy dissections
which, for some time, teemed to threaten the ve
ry existence of our confederacy. Danger is al
ways magnified in the distance, and although
[ relied with confidence on the attachment of the
people to the Union, yet there were moments
when I was almost ready to despond. The hopes
of the enemies of free government throughout
Europe were elevated. They believed that the
moment was rapidly approaching, when it would
be demonstrated by our example, that man wa«
not fit for sell government} and when despotism
would enjoy a final triumph over human liberty,
The advocates of liberal principles were depress
ed in the same proportion. They believed that
the happiness of millions throughout all future
generations, was at stake upon the is ue. They
beheld the march of events with toe m-t intense
anxiety, and from the want of a foil k:.>«letlgf
of our situation, they feared rhe vrrv *‘-rst. 1
shall never forgfct with what a thrill ot delight
1 received the intelligence toat the compromise
i had been happily effected. I did not stop tc
'consider whelher'it was the best that could havt
been made} it was sufficient that the danget
i which threatened our institutions had passed
away. Each citizen of our country ought to feel
1 a sort of personal responsibility in the exercis*
of his political rights, anil ought to act as if his
! conduct might affect not only the permanence ol
| our Union, but the liberties of mankind. Abovt
: all. he ought to remember that the Union was the
1 result of mutual compromise, and that the spirii
j which brought it into existence, can alone rendei
j it perpetual.
Political parties must evt*r exist in this coun
try.- In mv opinion, they ought ever to exist

Constitution itself. They arise from the ynper
i fection of human language. In the ver> begin
j ning, one portion of our citizens dreaded conso
lidation—the other disunion. The one was dis
posed to give a strict—the other a liberal inter
; pretation to the powers of the Federal Govern
! ment. Between the two extremes there was
much intermediate ground; but still this broad
1 line of demarcation has ever existed.
The sovereign States of this Union may ex*
tend their jealousy of Federal power too far; but
! may the dav never arrive when their watchful
1 ness shall slumber! The State Governments
existed before the Constitution; they elected the
Delegates to the Convention by which it was fra
med; through their agency this Constitution was
submitted to the people of the several States fur
ratification; and in the theory of our system, as
announced by the Federalist.’they are sentinels
to give the alarm to the people, should the Fede
ral Government transcend its proper limits.—
Power is always stealing on, almost without the
knowledge of its possessors. Liberty is Ilrspe
rian fruit, anti can only be preserved by watchful
jealousy. It is the condition on which alone it
| can be enjoyetl. It is because the present Admi
nistration, whilst it has never flinched from ex
ercising the powers unquestionably granted, has
never shown a disposition to assume powers not
fairly delegated, that it is entitled to the support
of a’ republican people. I do not mean to say
this Administration is infallible. This attribute
belongs not to man. But it was upon these prin
ciples they came into power, and, in my opinion,
they have always held them steadily in view.
The exercise of doubtful powers must ever
prove dangerous to the harmony of the Union.
They generate perpetual struggles. Whilst the
Government ought fearlessly and firmly to carry
into execution the Dowers clearly granted, they
ought never to tread upon doubtful, which is al
ways dangerous ground I know that as able
heads, and as pure hearts, as have ever done ho
nor to this country, have been in favor of extend
ing the powers of the Government by what has
been called a liberal construction; but I believel
that the longer our experience shall continue, the '
more clearly will the fallacy of this doctrine be* j
demonstrated.
These are not the parties,however, from which, j
when confined within proper limits, we have rea- ,
son to apprehend danger. It is when large sec- :
tional masses become inflamed against each other |
upon vital questions, that we ought to be most
alarmed. I regret tn find that some excitement
has arisen on the question of slavery, during my
absence. Judging from my own knowledge, 1
think the South have unjust cause to be alarmed
upon the subject. I have never conversed with
any well informed man of any parly, who pre
tended that (he Constitution conferred upon Con
gress the power to control or regulate this ques
tion.
I thank my God that my lot ha9 been cast in a
State where slavery does not exist. In the ab
stract, it is an institution which cannot, for a sin
gle moment, he defended. But what then?—
Shall we attempt to violate the constitutional
compact which has made us a great and a power
ful nation, happy at home and respected abroad
—shall we Endanger the existence of this Union
—on the perpetuity of which the human race have
10 deep a stake—by endeavoring to usurp a pow
;r which has never been granted? The day. I
Feel tirmly convinced, will never arrive when
Congress shall forcibly attempt to interfere with
his question; but if it should, the knell of our
Union will on that day be sounded from (he Ca
jitol. Let us leave this question, then, where
he Constitution has left it, to the several States
vherein the evil exists. Let us never be led
iway bv fanatics; but let us adopt the language
if the first nnd the ablest House of Represeota- <
ives that ever sat under the Constituiion. So 1
arly as March, 1790, they resolved, after a full J
onsideration of the question, “ that Congress
ave no authority to interferem the emancipation i
f slaves, or in the treatment of them in any of l
he States; it remaining with the several States 1
lone to provide rules and regulations therein. 1
rhich humanity and true policy may require. ”
Iv adhering to this principle, so clearly and for- c
ibly expressed by the fathers of the Coostitu- %
on, we shall 'best promote the stability of the
Inion, and the final emancipation of the slaves
lemselves. I
I shall conclude by offering you the following j
•ntiment: • I

MR. CLAY.
Mr. Clay arrived at Trenton on Thurs<ja,
and lodged with Governor Southard. ||e w'4%
on the following day waited on by the corpor*.
I tion of the city, and in their name addressed
by Henry W. Green, Esq. the Recorder. Or
j Saturday morning, about eighty gentlemen Id;
| this city in the steam boat William Penn, char
; tered for the purpose, and proceeded to Bristol:
'at which place Mr. Clay and his family had ar
rived by the Philadelphia and Trenton rail road,
conducted by Joseph Mcllvain, Esq and Go
vernor Souiliard. Alter the departure of the
boat from Bristol, the company sot down to a
' dinner, at which David Paul Brown, K'q. pre.
sided, assisted by Capt. Meany and Mr. Piers.
Several clever addresses were made, in which
wit and good sentiment predominated, a fnrml
| who was of the party, speaks of the scene o;
board the steam boat as one highly gratifying.—
Mrs. Clay and children were accumpanied bv
Miss Southard.
On arriving at K^ington, a committed w»
appointed to proceed in the steam b iat with tie
ladies to Cliesnut street wharf where the car
' riage of John Sergeant, E»q. would be in atttn
dance
i j The Company landed with Mr. Clay, at Bros
ii nins’s wonrf, where a large number of citizens
[ on horse-back and in barouches, were drawn
up in open file to receive the distinguished
guest,
Mr Clay entered a beautiful barouche, drawn
1 by four handsome cream colored hows, and
Mathew Carey. K-q the lion. John Serjjnn;
and his honor the Mayor accompanied him. The
marshals then proce-dpd to form the procession,
though they were several tunes interrupted bv
■ the citizen# of Kensington pressing forward to
greet Mr. Clay. The following is the order nf
the proee?<i«*n: Chief Marshal, George \V.
Jones, followed by about fifty gentlemen on
grev horse#—then the guest—then a large num
ber of barouches, with about one hundred gen
tlemcn—to then; succeeded about live hundred
gentlemen on horse back, the whole in the most
perfect order.
We have never had more occasion to romp!.
ment the direction of any procession, with m»re
earnestness and truth than that of Saturday.—
The whole was formed in a manner to reflect the
highest credit on the chief marshal and his ai
sistant*.
Windows and side walks by which the procet
sinn passed, were crowded, and the guest«»
greeted with warm and hearty cheering* The
procession moved through the streets in them
der prescribed, and shortly after four u'tio'L I'
M. arrived at the United States Motel. Here
the street# were closely crowded, and the "tej*
of the U. S. Bank presented a most imposin' I
array of citizens, rising in gradation from the M<le I
walks to the pillars of the building. When Mr. I
Clay descended from the carriage, he was enthu I
siastically greeted; and after the cavalcade hail I
filed oft.'Mr. C. appeared on the portico of iht I
hotel and bowed to the citizens. 1
We never witnessed so truly a splendid pi I
ratle in Philadelphia. The elite of the city all'll
county were there, and the whole were marshal I
ed without fife or drum; no music attended the I
procession; nothing extraneous was brought tu I
produce an excitement; it was the *pn»i»neoui I
movement of *• me people” towards a lailhiui I
friend. I
Mr. Clay has accepted the offer of Council* to I
meet the citizens at the Hall of Independence. I
where the city authorities will also meet him I" I
offer their salutations.-?Phil. V. S. Gazette- I
