In t_be face of line facts which have been
Quhlished to the A_niei"'ic""an" people, -respecting
ifr. Clay’s opinions of the nominations of
._.;,Gé"ii. Scptt.for,i_I_ie next Presidency, upon
-. \v,_h1_i,t f‘_a.tzlli0Tzty’: the editor of 'I‘he Argus
has the ass_urance,to-declare that" lceisccrlaizt.
Henry] Clay, now _lr‘vz2t"g, would note for"
,1-’ierce and If‘L"_7‘1,.',,T,"_'I do not care to know.—-
From personal knowledge derived from Mr.
Clay,.in the last few days of his precious‘ life
on, earth", I know (lie a.sscrlz'ons of the editor of
The Argus respecting Mr. Clay, which I
biivequoted from his editorial ofthe 9th inst.,
are rlispulable and al‘e.(":(I.lI1.71m‘i01/.sfy false, and
a,gross_and.most_off'e,nsi.ve slander upon the
loved character and cherished fame of the
imifiortal Patriot and Sage of Ashland.
During the laslten days of Ml‘. Clay’s ill-
ness,,I.had my lodging at the National Ho-
tel-in Washington, where he was, and had
daily and almost hourlyopportunitics to learn
and know directly from /its lips, his opinions
andsentrments upon political subjects and
national affairs. On the day of his death, I
stood near the door of his room where he
expired. I saw the glorious light of march-
. less genius, vi-hose splendors had illuminated
the world, and for half a century lighted the
. pathway of freedom and constitutional liber-
ty, extinguished by death and go out in the
rayless night of the gravel From a faithful
one, who stood at his bed side when he breath-
ed his last, I""receiv€tl M1‘. Clay’: last dying
word‘s,and the minute_ particulars ofhis dcath
sceue,‘and wit/rinfice minutes after his de-
cease I wrote them down, and also his opin-
ions and sentiments expressed at few days be-
fore, respecting the nomination ofGen. Scott
by the_.Whi"g National Convention, and I
transmitted the facts thus written down ex-
actly as they transpired to mypcrsonal knowl-
edge -to Th‘e New Orleans Bee,in which they
were published.
Alter the close of the Whig National Con-
vention, of which I had the honor to be a
member, I-re,t'ui'ncd to my lodgings at the
National Hotel at Washington, and iinmedi-
ately sought and obtained Mr. Clay’s opin-
ion in fegard to the ‘nominees and doings of
the Convention". In his characteristic frank
and truthful manner he expressed his enlzre
ocquieseizcc in the wisdom and choice of the
Corwerition, in the selection of Scott and Gra-
bamas thestandard bearers of that glorious
Wh_i'g“a"nd Union ‘Banner, upon which his
patrioteyes were now “turned to view for
the I-asttiine,”as it flaimted proudly in the
auspicious breeze of favoring Heaven. His
dying eyes saw emblazoned on its radiant
folds, asit floated over the glorious Union for
whose preseri.~alz'on he had, by his last match-
Iessefforts upon the Compromise, sacrificed
hislife, the tiames of lwotried and fail/iful
Whigs,’ who had from the brgzmtirzg and
tliroiiglzout the Compromise struggle, stood
firmly his side, nor “ faltered once to meet
the blast when hardest it beset them.” In
Gen. Scot"t’s devotion to the Union and the
. Compromise, Mr. Clay expressed implicit
and unshaken confidence, and in his integri-
ty‘ to the Whig principles and the great Na-
tional Whig cause. After thus expressing
_his entire acquieserice in the wisdom, and his
satisfaction in the choice ofthe Whig Nation-
al Convention, Mr. Clay sent by a member
of the Kentucky Delegation, who was pres-
ent, his cordial wishes to Gen. Scott for his
success in the Presidential canvass.
Such were Mr. Clay's expressed opinions
andsentiments respecting the nomination of
Gen. Scott, and “ if he were now living, he
would vote” for his old tried friends and
compatriots, Winfield Scott and William A.
Graham, and not as The Argus asserts, for
“Pierce and King."
The voice of Henry Clay comes up from
his new made grave in favor of the election
of Scott and Graham as Union VVhigs.—-
Though he is dead, his living spirit calls up-
on eveyjy whig in the land to sustain the whig
nominees and the whig cause—the cause of
constitutional liberty. and of our glorious
Ufllufll J. C. SEVIER, of Louisiana.
31% We-have seen the drawings of a new
invention,which seems promising, for pre-
venting great damage by railroad collisions.
The idea is to have the ends of the cars and
platforms built with one corner projecting
far beyond the other, or diagonally instead
of square. Accordingly, when they come
together with great violence, the force of the
shock viill be relieved, and the cars, instead
of breaking to pieces, will simply shove ea"ch
other ofi'the track. In the projecting corner
the braketnan is to stand, where, in a collis-
ion, his position‘ will be comparatively free
from danger. The inventor is Mr. Selleck,
of,Greenwrcb, Conn.— Tribune.

the assertion made that Pierce voted against
the law to give pensions to the old revolu-

the speaker to have him prove the assertion
made in his speech. The gentleman took
down the Congressional Globe for the year

where. Franklin Pierce boasted in the United

one exception from all the New England

the widows of those who had been slain in
