Correspondence of the Mercury.
Washington, May 5.
Another of tho great lights ot our generation
is fast passing away into tho land
. of shadows. Henry Clay is dying, and a
thrill must pass through every heart at
tho announcement of tho fact. Though
his decline hus been so gradual that the
public mind should have been prepared for
it, still, like Calhoun, Ilenry Clay seemed
to possess so unbounded a vitality, the
spirit seemed so much stronger than the
flesh, that the tidings, como when they
mijght, would give a shock, and excite sur1
prise. Of the mighty three who have so
identified themselves with the history of
this country since the war of 1812 down
to the present hour, Webster will soon be
tho solo survivor ftn? ?vn?U
I survive them, and though the angry storms
of passionate controversy nnd party hate
raged and roared around them all during
their political pilgrainages, yet, when deat h
has set its seal upon them, their countyJ
men must award to all of them the meed
| of high intellect directed to high aims, and
? prompted to lofty aspirations. When Calnoun
died, arcvulsion of feeling took place
throughout the wholo country,and a tardy
recog-nition of the true majesty of hischaIracter,
and the beauty of his whole life, was
wrung from those who had most bitterly
reviled him while living.
Honors such as never had been paid
before to any citizen, were accorded to his
memory, and his remains were inurned in
tne midst ot general lametation. Similar
will bo the sensation when Henry Clay
passes away, and his death will ho "like
the fall of the mighty oak amid tho stillness
of tho wood." The deep shadow
which has so long rested 011 tlie solemn
countenance of Webster, the shade of
which deepened as he pronounced an
culogium on Calhoun, will catch another
a and a deeper tint, when his last great rival
passes on before hiin to that bourne from
I whence 110 traveller returns. When he
( spoke of Calhoun in the Senate, and came
to that passage where he says, "He was
my own age, 11c who saw him w ill for
- get his airand aspect. Ills head drooped
' on his breast; he sUxxl musing for n
moment, as though there were a warning
J and a summons for him in that fact,and fell
thathis race too was nearly run. lie will
not bo in tho Senate to pronounce another
culogium on his next greatest conijK'titoi
(( in that atvna, but the same thought must
\ be more strikingly present to him when
1 * 1 I -1 ' " '
ue Maims py inn uier oi e in v. Looking
?t these throe, and contrasting llicm with
those who now fill their places, we must
- admit tliat there were giants in those
days. Hut the brood of noble bloods
V is not yet extinct, and powers yet slumbering
or undeveloped, must exist in
i some quarter,needing only the stimulus of
opportunity and excitement to blaze forth
into splendor equal to that of tl c meridian
of these great men now passing awav.
8inc? the commencement of the session it
^ has linen obvious to all of Mr. Clay's
friends that his end was near. He has
11 sunk down suddenly in the last few months,
11 like some old tower which presents a
L\ frowning front of massive strength, until
I \ it suddenly crumbles down into a mass
If of ruin, from turret to foundation stone,
JF undermined by the wasting influeneo of
_ time. Though wasted to the last degree,
f and minced to the extreme of physical
| feebleness, Mr. Clay's mind still continues
as vivid ami vigorous as ever, and his
| firmness is still unshaken. I >ifier as men
A may as to the political or personal attri>
P buU* of Honrv Clay, no one can deny
I that lie lias obtained a deep and a strong
I 1 hold on the MTpptlim* of ?l>e
people, *nJ possesses some traits which
| " even his enemies may admire.
It was probably bis desire to die hero
V" in the theatre of his triumphs, and the
wish will be gratified. The last few months
he hns passed in his chamber, and it is a
mournful commentary on the rapidity
with which influence passes awav, to
remark how soon his voice, once
potential, hns lost its spell over the
party of which he was so long the soul.
* t Tho Warwick could make or unmake
f kings no more, and the party of which he
I, was the vitality, has perished before
ihim.
I Tlie Whig party now is not. It is r. I
mere collection of conflicting factions, the
r strongest of which is Seward; the most
dangerous of its unity the Southern Union
party. Mr Clay attempted to reconcile
these distractions, by pronouncing for
Filtnorc from his sick chamber, but bis
words mn/ln nn oolm ?n,l 1.1= ?< t. \
.aw wkvf muu mo tiunctl iui- |
lower* arc clamoring aloud for Scott, a*
4 does Jones, of Tennessee. In the grave of
A Henry Clay will l>o interred the national
Whiff party, and Webster will walk solitary
and alone chief mourner for each.

GOOD LAND FOR SALE. ;
1 WILL SELL MY PLANTATION
on Rear Creek, containing about 500
Acres, situate within a mile of the Village
of Lancaster. There is about 200 acres of
this place under a tolerable good fence, and
nearly all bottom land, and well adapted to
the culture of Corn, Wheat, and other Small
grains, and equally good for Cotton (some
say') with properculture. It has advantages
which ennnot well bo mentioned here, but
which I can recount to, and which will be
seen by any one who wishes to purchase,
upon looking over it. Others can speak favorably
of this tract of land to some of
whom I take the liberty of referring, viz:?
Dr. Strait, Jno. W. Cooke, Esq., John Williams.
Ksq. I)r. Wylio and J. II. VVitherspoon,
Esq.
I will also sell my lands on Cedar Creek I
ami Dry Creek ; I cultivate those lands, and
they ore the name upon which I Imvc have
made Cotton for several years past; with
what success the ubove gentlemen can speak.
I have no objection to any of the above
lands for want of productiveness, and it may
be well supposed that I will ask a price corresponding
with the present price of Goon
Land; but still,all will be made easy to the
purchaser. M. OIJNTON.
