March. J9, ld'!4. wiil show . n what rnanner Mr. Clay hns been accustomed . toepend the same day. Which mode does the Journal think most conformnbletothe law of God? The speech is from the MilladgviHe Federal Union, a Wliig r. Mr. Clay, in dwelling upon 1 his awn agency in the Missouri compromise, said . that : "He moved for ihe ppointment of acommittee of one from earh Stute. ahd that they ahoüld be elected by ballot; a nieans ttf dteeignanng a , conirniitee Uien unknown in ihe ÍJouíe. On that committee he placed (he ñames of several ili-it hud voted against the recep'ion of Missouri nio dio Union, and hnd ihe influence to huve them elected: eighieen the first bnllot, and the rcmaining si.x were upon his suagestion, made up of those having the higbest number ef votes. The comnittt-e mei, nnd reWliiy agreed to ropori favoiably to the reception of the new State into the Union. . But this did not saiisfy Mr. Clay; heurged on A.

This finve ihu turn scale in ihe House, and he knew the question was settled. Jt was SUNDAY eve ning, and he had NOW to take a walk of three miles, to dine.uit'i the Rutsian minister, from whomhe had a STANDING ÍNVITATION , TO Dl NU ON EVERY SUNDAY. and never no, never, did he move.with a inore bti'iyant etep, or deeated feelinvs tlian on t'iat occasion."Ü55 The Editor of the Vermont Voice of Freedom, has the following account of the Liberty prospecte in that State: "Having been absent in obtaining subscribers in different towns nearly the whole time for eight weeks past, I have had a pretty good opportunity of feeling the pulse of freemen from Burlington to Manchester, 100 miles, comprising more than 30 towns which I have visited, and can truly say that anti-slavery investigation is on the advance. This is what we want in order tocóme to a right decisión, and is therefore a good omen. As I remarked a few weeks since, some who have formerly seemed to go antislavery, are made to believe it all important that they go it 'this once' for slaven ; while I believe mnny more who have but just awakened to the subject, and some who have hardly taken an antislavery paper, carne in to fill, and more than fiil the ranksofthe first."
