tervention of the United States in the affairs of Europe. Mr. Clay replied that no greater calamity could befall this gov- ernment than this doctrine of intervention. The vital principle of this country, he said. rested upon its republican character, ax seen in the capacity of the people for self- government, and in its practice of confining its action to its own duties. Our example was one of Christian progress; and the United States, as the only living Republic and example of man's capability for self- government, was bound to encourage prog- ress and prosperity on this continent. All this would be endangered and destroyed by foreign wars, and with them all hopes of free institutions. Warming with the importance of his subject, as he proceeded, he stood erect and with much emotion and touching emphasis, said, " A dying man, I oppose your doctrine of intervention." Grasping his hand, as he bade him fare- well, he said, " God bless you and your family ! God bless your country ! May she yet be free ! "

At Flemingsburg it was observed 22º be- low; at Washington, Carlisle, Glasgow, and other points, 20° below ; at Hopkins- ville 14° below, and 6 inches of snow fell on Sunday, 18th. At Maysville, at day- light,' Thursday, 22d, it was 1º below zero. The severe weather general over the coun- try : At St. Louis, 14º below zero, on 19th, and as low as 20° during that night.

Feb. 10-Presentation to Henry Clay, by citizens of New York, of a magnificent large gold medal, of pure California gold, and enclosed in a silver case, which opens with a hinge, in the manner of a hunting watch. On its faee is a fine head of Mr. Clay, remarkable for its likeness and ex- pression ; on the reverse is inscribed :

SENATE 1806. SPEAKER 1811. WAR OF 1812 WITH GREAT BRITAIN. GHENT 1814.

MISSOURI COMPROMISE 1821. SPANISH AMERICA 1822. GREECE 1823. AMERICAN SYSTEM 1824. SECRETARY OF STATE 1825.

PANAMA INSTRUCTIONS 1826. TARIFF COMPROMISE 1833. PUBLIC DOMAIN-1833-1841. PEACE WITH FRANCE PRESERVED 1835. COMPROMISE 1850.

On the silver ease is represented, on one side a view of the National Capitol, with its contemplated enlargement; on the other, the great commemorative Monument on the Cumberland road, above, and, below it, a view of Ashland and its mansion, the home of Henry Clay.

President Fillmore, Jos. R. Underwood, (Mr. Clay's colleague senator from Ky., ) Presley Ewing (a representative from Ky.,) ex-Gov. Jas. C. Jones of Tenn., ex-Gov. Hamilton Fish and Hon. James Brooks of N. Y., and other distinguished citizens, were present at the interview at Mr. Clay's room, in the National Hotel, Washington city, where he had been confined for several months by sickness. Mr. Clay, although weak and emaciated, stood up during the graceful presentation address by Daniel Ullinan ; and reud a beautiful reply, which, contrary to the practice of his life, he had written out. After the ceremony of pres- entation, and while freely discussing the elegance of the medal, and the appropri- ateness and fidelity of the designs, Mr. Clay remarked: "The artists have not generally succeeded well in taking my features : but that has been in a great measure my own fault ; for my face .never retains long the same expression, and espe- cially when I am under any excitement, it changes every moment. John Randolph once paid me a high compliment-not in- tentionally, for he seldom complimented

any man-but, without intending it, he paid me what I esteem one of the highest compliments I ever received. He said that whenever a debate is coming on, if I can get a sight at Mr. Clay's face, I can always tell which side he is going to take." [This transition from the grave to the gay is so characteristic of Mr. Clay, that no one who has seen him in his hours of eonfi- dence can fail to be reminded of many an association that, while it kindles a smile, will be followed but too soon by a sigh.]

Feb. 16-One of the three large three- story buildings constituting the Lunatic Asylum at Lexington, partially destroyed by fire ; 90 of the unfortunate patients were asleep in the building at the time, but were all rescued ; two of them, in their be- wilderment, went back into the building, and perished in the flames.

May 10-Novel duel at Eddyville: The challenged party named the terms-that they should meet at Dr. N.'s office, and be bled. Dr. N. opened a vein for each, and they bled until, becoming extremely weak and looking as pale as a corpse, they pro- nounced themselves satisfied.

May 10-Steamboat Eclipse reaches Lou- isville from New Orleans, in 4 days 18 hours running time-the quickest trip ever made, having lost 10 hours in repairing her machinery.

May 20-Survey of the Shelby railroad, from Hobbs' station on the Louisville and Frankfort Railroad to Shelbyville, com- pleted.

Thos. H. Benton, in a speech at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, said: "I never joined in the accusation of 'bargain' against Mr. Clay and Mr. Adams. I con- demn the support he gave Mr. Adams-on the democratic principle that the will of the people ought to be obeyed. But on all proper occasions, and in the presence of their friends, I expressed a disbelief of the im- puted bargain, founded on my early knowl- edge of Mr. Clay's intention to vote for Mr. Adams- and I believe I knew it before Mr. Adams himself did. These declara- tions of mine went into the public papers, and came to general knowledge. Mr. Clay in consequence wrote me a letter of thanks for this "voluntary and faithful testimony," as he termed it. I will now read you his letter :

I ... 5

WASHINGTON, 6 DEC. 1827.

Sir : I have received a paper, published on the 29th ult., at Lexington, Va., in which is contained an article stating that you had, to a gentleman of that place, ex- pressed your disbelief of a charge injurious to me, touching the late Presidential elec- tion ; and that I had communicated to you unequivocally, between the 1st and 15th Dec., 1824, my determination to vote for Mr. Adams, and not for Gen. Jackson. Presuming that the publication was with your authority, I can not deny the expres- sion to you of proper acknowledgments for the sense of justice which has prompted you to render this voluntary and faithful testimony.

I am, respectfully, your ob't ser't, H. CLAY.
