Excerpt from Eulogy on the Life and Services of Henry Clay: Delivered in the Hall of the House of Representatives, October 11, 1852 N 0 man the world ever saw was equally great in every quality of intellect and in every walk of action.

Excerpt from Eulogy Upon the Life, Character and Services of Henry Clay: Pronounced Before the Common Council and Citizens of Chicago, July 20, 1852 "In Rama there was a voice heard lamentation and weeping, and great mourning: - Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not." Mourn, Sons and Daughters of America! mourn. A great light has gone out. A bright star has disappeared from the horizon. A glorious Sun has gone down in the West - never again in our world to rise. Mourn - Statesmen of America! - mourn! One of the wisest and most experienced (of your number, ) that have graced the annals of our history, has joined the great and the good, in the world above. Mourn - Patriots of America! The soul of one of our country's noblest sons, has winged its flight to the Spirit land. Mourn Philanthropist and lovers of Liberty throughout the world - a great benefactor of his race has been gathered to his Fathers. Mourn - for Henry Clay is dead! Already have the chambers of our Legislative Halls been clad with the drapery of mourning; - already have the associates of his trials and conquests, in the great arena of his intellectual conflicts, paid the last tribute of affection to the memory of the mighty dead. Already has the solemn procession wended its way through our crowded cities, our busy towns, our smiling Villages - amid tolling bells, and booming cannon; and with thousands of torches illuminating the darkness of midnight, bearing the lifeless remains to the silent city of the dead. Already have thousands, and tens of thousands of freemen gazed upon the lineaments of the great departed, and fain would "beg a hair of him for memory." Already has the full heart of the American people exclaimed - "Bear hence his body, And mourn you for him. Let him be regarded As the noblest corpse that ever herald Did follow to his Urn."

Excerpt from Eulogy on the Life and Services of Henry Clay: Delivered at the Request of the City Council, in Augusta, Ga;, Nov; 4, 1852 But the course of time is onward, and another spectacle is presented in the vicissitudes of national existence. Peace has re-established her meliorating sway and enterprise resumed her wonted pursuits. The revolving year brings again a day memorable as an historical epoch. Operatives renounce labor, merchants eschew commerce, philosophers forego study; all men, of all degrees, low to lengthen out the pageant - to swell the anthem. Her day of jubilee has come, and the nation exults in its cherished associations. Who so stoical as to look and list, yet feel no thrill. Once again the panorama changes. Now is seen every where the drapery of mourning; deep gloom, like an ecliptic shadow, rests upon the face of society. The nation bows down under the weight of a common sorrow, uttering novoice but of lamentation, filling the air with the dirge's solemn tones. She mourns because one, aye a single one, of the multitudes in whose lives she lives, has passed away to be numbered among the dead. A great man in Israel has fallen, therefore all the host of Israel lift up their voices and weep. Such was the spectacle presented by this people but a few months since, when the lightning, (man's trained messenger) took up the heavy tidings, and ere the shrouding was done, announced to many millions of his countrymen, that the sage of Ashland was no more.
