WASHINGTON, July 1, 1852, —The funeral

the entire city. Many of the houses, inclu

THE SERMON.
"How is the strong stafl" broken and the beautiful
<!."—Jeremiah 46th chapter an J 17ih Verse.
Before all hearts and minds in this august
assemblage, the vivid image of one man
stands—to some aged eye he may come forth
from the dim past as he appeared in the
neighboring city of his native State, a little ,
and ardent youth, full of promise, of anibi- >
tion, aud of hope—to another he may appear
as in a distant State in the Courts of Justice,
erect, high-strung, bold, wearing fresh foren- :
sic laurels on liis young open brow.
Some may see him in the earlier, and some j
in the later stages of his career on this an- j
xpieious theatre of his renown ; and to the !
former he will start out in the back ground
of the pa-.t as he appeared in the neighbor
ing Chamber—tall, elate, impassioned—with
flashing eye and suasive gesture, and clarion
voice—an already acknowledged Agamemnon
King of Men ; and to others he will again I
stand in this Chamber the strong stafl' of the |
bewildered and staggering State, am! the j
beautiful rod, rich with the blossoms of ge- I
nius and of patriotic lo\< and hope—the life |
of youth still remaining to give animation, 1
grace, and exhaustion v igor to the wisdom, !
the experience, and the gravity of age. To !
others he may be present as ho sat in the
chamber of sickness, cheerful, majestic,
gentle ; his m : nd clear, his heart warm, his
hope fixed ou Heaven, peacefully preparing
lor his last great change. To the memory of j
the-Minister of God he appears as the peni- .
tent, humble and peaceful Christian, who re- j
ceived birn with the affection of a father, ;
and joined with hirn in solemn sacrament and
prayer, with the gentleness of a woman, and '
the humility of a child. 'Out of the strong
came forth sweetness.'—' How is the strong
staff broken nnd the beautiful rod.'
But not bofore this assembly only does the
venerable imago of the departed Statesman
tliis day distinctly stand. For more than a
thousand miles, east, west, north and south,
it is known and remembered that at this
!PI£SS?-1?!S!t£
place and hour a nation's representatives as- !
30inble to do honor to him whose fame is now
a nation's heritage. A nation's mighty
heart throbs against this Capital and beats I
through you. In many cities banners droop,
j bells toll, cannons boom, funeral draperies
! wave. In crowded streets, and on surround
ing wharfs, upon steamboats, and upon cars,
; in fields, in workshops, in homes, in schools,
I millions of men. women and children, have
i their thoughts fixed upon this scene, and say
mournfully to each other, this is the hour in
. which, at the Capital, the nation's representa- j
' tives are burying Henry Clay. Burying
; Henry Clay? Bury the records of your
| country's history —bury the hearts of living
j millions—bury tiie mountains, the livers, the
lakes, and tlie spreading lands from sea to
sea, with which his name is inseparably as
sociated, and even then you would not bury
| Henry Clav, for he is in other lands, and
j speaks in other tongues, and to other times
than ours. A great mind, a great heart, a
1 great orator, a great career have been con
; signed to history. She wiii record his rare ,
i gifts of deep insight, keep discrimination,
I clear statement, rapid combination, plain, di
j reet and convincing logic. She will love to
dwell in that large, generous, magnanimous.
| open, forgiving heart. She will linger with
i fond delight on the records or traditional
dories of an eloquence that was so masterly
; and stirring, because it was but hims
i struggling to come forth on the living word.-
—because though the words were brave ami
I strong, and beautiful, and melodious, it v.as
felt that behind theni there was a soul braver,
stronger, more beautiful and more m .

1 feel as a man the grandeur of this career.
But as an immortal, with this broken wreck
of mortality before me. with this scene as the
end of human glory, i feel that no career is
truly great, but that of him, who, whether .
he be illustrious or obscure, lives to the fu
ture in the present, and linking himself to
the spiritual world, draws from God the lib ,
tin* rule, the motive, and the reward of all
i his laber. So would that great spirit which !
has departed say to us his solemn adnio
• nitions, when 1 say that statesmanship is f
then only glorious when it is christian : and
that man is then only safe and true to his du
; ty and his sou! when the lif which he low
in the flesh is the lif of faith in the son of
God.
Great indeed is the privilege, and nio.-t
honorable and useful is the career of the
' Christian American States mars. 11 'perceiv "■ -
that civil liberty came from the freedom
j wherewith t'hii-t made its earliest martyrs
and defenders free, lie recognizes it asooe
of the twelve manner of fruits on the tree f
, life, which, while its lower branches furni h
the best nutriment of the earth, hangs on its
topmost boughs wliieh wave in Heaven—
i fruits that exhilerate the immortals. Recog
nizing the State a- God's institution, 1c will
; perceive that his own ministry is divine.—
j Living con i-iuuslv under the eve and it! the
j love and fear of God, r deemed by the blood
| of Jesus, sanctified by his spirit, loving his
law, he will give himself, in private an 1 in
j public, to the service of hi • Saviour. 11 1
will not admit that lie may act on less lofty
principle in public then in private life : and
that he must he careful of his moral in
\ fluencc in the small .-phere of home and
neighborhood, but need no ):• •■! <f it
when it sketches our continent, undone- -
seas; he will know that his moral respon
sibilities cannot be divided and distributed
j among others. When lie is told that ad
, berouce to the strictest moral and religious
principle is incompatible with a successful
and eminent career, lie will douitui'v the a--
■ sartkm as a libel on the venerable Fathers of
the republic—a libel uii the honored living
j and the illustrious dead—a libel against the
great and christian nation—a libel against
God himself, who lias de. hired and made god
liness, profitable for the life that is.
lie will strive to make hi- laws transcripts
! of the. character and institutions, and'il
lustrations of the providence of God. He
will scan, with admiration and awe the pur
poses of God in the future history of the
• orld. in the throwing open their wide cn
u.ieut from sea to sea as the abode of freo
j dom, intelligence, plenty, prosperity and
peace, and feel that in giving hi" energies
i with a patriotic love t<> the welfare of Ins
' country, he is consecrating hinis< if with
| a christian's zeal t<> the extension and estab
lishment of the Redeemer's Kingdom. Com
j pared with a career like this which is equally i
open to those whose public sphere is large or
small, how paltry are the trade of patriotism,
j the tricks of statesman-hip, the reward of
successful baseness. This hour, this scene,
the venerated dead, the country, the world,
the present, the future, God, duty, Heaven,
Hell, speak trumpet tongued to'nil in the
service of their country to beware how they
la y Pplliited or unhallowed hands upon, the
• ark of her magnificent and awful cause.
... it ch is the character of that statesmanship
; which alone would have met the full appro
\dl ol the \ one rated dead. For the religion
which always had a place in the convictions
ot bis mind had also with him, within a re
cent period, entered into his experience, and ;
seated itsed in his heart. '1 wenty years
since, he wrote —
' I am a member of no religious sect, and
I am not a professor of religion, i regret
that I am not. iv. !*%'t th.it i was, and trust
i I shall be. I have, and always have had a I
I profound regard for Christianity, the religion
of rav fathers, and for its rues, its usages
; and observances.'
j _ That feeling proved that the seed sown by
pious parents was not dead though stifled.—
A few years since, its dormant life was re
awakened. lie was baptized in the com
munion of tlie Protestant Episcopal Ghurch,
and during his sojourn in this city was in
full communion with Trinity parish.
It is since his withdrawal from the sittings '
of tlie Senate that 1 have been made particu

| character, and feeling. From his first illness,
he so expressed to me the persuasion that it
would be fatal. From that period until his
death. It has been my privilege to have held
with him frequent religious services and con
versations in his room, lie avowed to me
his full faith in the moral leading doctrines
of the gospel—the full sinfulness of man—
the divinity of Christ—the reality and ne
! eossitv ot the atonement—the need of being
horn again by the spirit of salvation through
faith in the crucified Redeemer.
llis own personal hopes of salvation he
i ever and distinctly based on the promise and
the grace of Christ, —and strikingly pereep
! tible on his naturally impetuousam! impatient
character was the influence of grace, pro
ducing submission and patient waiting for
Christ and for death. On one occasion he
spoke to me of the pious example of one very
near and dear tohim, that led him deeply to feel
and earnestly to s*-ek for himself the reality of
rehgion. On one occasion he told me that he
I ' ul( l been striving to form a conception of
j Heaven, ami he enlarged upon the mercy of
that provision by which our .Saviour became
a partaker o{ our humanity, that our hearts
and hopes might fix themselves on him. On
i another occasion, when he vras supposed to
he very near Ins end, I expressed to him the
hope that his mind and heart were at pern e.
and that he was able to rest with cheerful
confidence on the promises and merits of
the Redeemer, lie >rd with much feting
that he endeavored to and trusted thai-he dia
repes- his salvation upon Christ. That it

us to'cling to the Saviour in sickness and in ;
death, but adjure us not to delav to act upon
our fir-t conviction that we might give our ]
best power and full influence for Hod. and go
to the grave with a hope unshadowed by the ,
long worldline.-s of the past, and darkened i
by no til iris of fear and doubt resting on the .
future. The strong staff is broken and the i
beautiful rod dispoilcduf its grace and bloom,
but in the light of the Ktcrnal promises, and
by the power of Christ's resurrection, we joy- .
fully anticipate the prospect of seeing that
broken staff erect, and that beautiful rod
clorhed with celestial grace and blossoming
with undying life and blessedness in the
Paradise of God.
After the sermon, the services were conclu
ded with the pravcrs prescribed by the ser
vice.
The silver plate covering the glass over the
face of the corpse was then removed, and ail
nresent, Senators and Representatives, the -
Diplomatic Corps, Officers of the Army and
Navy, the President and Cabinet, Clergymen,
Physicians and friends, drew near, and amid
the mo-t impressive silence, took a last view
of the features of the great and -illustrious
deceased. This over, the corpse win: removed
to the rotunda, and the Senate adjourned.—-
The. capacious rotunda was altogether insuf
ficient to contain the vast multitude assem
bled, and the porticos and public grounds
vvero occupied by those anxious to get in to
have the last opportunity to see all that re
in-. ncd of FFRVRY (MAY, The U. H. Marshal
and bis aids were present, and after con
< siJerable confusion and much trouble, in
duced the crowd to approach the coffin and
; then to file oft' in order.
The corpse was removed from tlie rotunda
to the Railroad station, escorted by four
military companies and a large procession of
citizens. Here there were thousands of spec
tators of both sexes in waiting, aud the in
terest manifested was intense.
Ihe coffin was placed in a special car,
■ which was trimmed with mourning, and
amid general gloom the train departed with
the remains of the illustrious deceased.
Curious Fpitaplis.
1 have recently observed, (says a corres
pondent ol the Boston Post.) in several news
papers, a collection of epitaphs copied from
an Lnglish publication. As they excited
some attention ami amusement, I have been
induced to send you the following, most of
which are taken from an English Magazine
published some twenty years since.
I lie first which 1 shall quote was taken
from a small village grave yard in Dorset
shire ,
"Beneath litis glah lie tlie remains
< } f on iii life called Salty (ain > ;
Her 1 f.i whs short, her body .*♦!!,
She h id three sons, and tlii.-? it all."
Ihe fi flowing was written on the death of
a tailor named Button :
" II re lies T inae, heavt p. his soul,
Whose jtrravf is but a bntfon hi/le."

i he loliovving was taken from the same
church yard as the first;
" Here lle the u.aii Peler, and Mary his wife;

I he following derives its chief oddity from
the peculiarity ol the rhyme, and the substi
tution of the word " perpendicular" for up
right:
"Here lies iln- bod) of Deacon David Auricular,
VV ho in the ways of f*,u! worked pcrpeiidtcuhr."
I lie lady mentioned in the next epitaph
niusi have been a warm advocate of "woman's
rights —quite a Mrs. Caudle, in short—and
the lines were probably indip.d by her hus
band, painfully sensible of these qualities:

was present a r the time, that, on the evening

The <i.ueeii of Philadelphia.
The richest woman in Philadelphia, is Mrs.
Rush, the wife of Dr. James Rush, of that ,
city. Dr. Rush is a man of eminent talents
and acquirements, but the enoYmous wealth !
of his wife overshadows him. Wo hear little
of the husband's, but of the movements of !
his lady, who has an income of one hundred j
thousand dollars per annum in her own right, j
the world is not permitted to remain in igno- :
ranee. I ler arrivals and departures are epochs j
in the history of the watering places she con--
dcscends to v isit. She dwells in a palace, the
reception rooms of which will accommodate
one thousand gm-sts without being crowded.
Mrs. Rush took possession of this magnificent i
mansion last month, and on the 15th ultimo,
gave a fete to eight hundred of her particular
friends, ller drawing rooms are said to be
unsurpassed, even in Europe, in the richness
of their furniture and decorations; aud on the j
occasion referred to, six thousand wax tapers
illuminated the scene. Extensive conservato
ries, with rare exotics, arc attached to the j
main building, and no luxury which money
can procure has been omitted in Mrs. Rush's
almost regal establishment. She is said to be
liberal, charitable, and amiable, although
somewhat fond of making herself conspicu
ous in the world of fashion. It is not exact
ly the thing to hazard an opinion of H lady's
ago ; but if it were, we should say that Mrs. |
Rush cannot be much on the sunny side of
fifty, although she dresses down to thirty or
iive and thirty. Mrs. R. inherits nearly one
third of the property of her father, the late
Jacob llidgwav, vve believe. Her share, it vve
mistake not, amounted to between one and
two millions of dollars.

The Calf Case Decided.
The papers east have made the city of Bur
lington the originating point of this famous
j lawsuit. Mistake entirely. The ease arose -
j in West Point, Lee county, a thriving village
! on the route of the Dubuque and Keokuk .
[ railroad—and vvas commenced about a year
i a S° ty an action of replev in before a justice ;
!of the peace. The difficulty vvas to identify i
| the calf claimed. The witnesses of one par- j
; ty, some twenty or thirty in number, swore j
- that th" tail vvas entirely black, aud those of 1
j tiie other party, about equal in number, swore j
- that it was partly white. The jury returned
a verdict from which an appeal was taken to j
the District Court of Lee county. The ap- j
peal was tried at the last term of that court, I
but the jury disagreed. The legal costs had
| then amounted to S-500. Tlie case was con
' timiod to the present term, and tried again '
last week at tort Madison. The jury this
time decided in the case, finding for the plain- :
• lift, or that the tail was " partly white." The I
I cost has now reached SoOO. I pon tlie final ;
j trial, four members of the bar were arraved j
ion the side of the defendant. Counsel fees
: and other expenses are of course to be added j
to the costs, in estimating the amount ex
-1 pond'-'l upon this litigation about a calf worth i

Law Decisions.
Among other decisions of the Supreme •
Court of general interest will be found the 1
; following:

By Judge Lewis.— W here there was no
election by the debtor to retain real estate I
under the exemption law of hth April, Is-iD.
and consequently no proceedings for tiie pur

vided without injury to the whole, it vvas er- [
ror to award to the debtor any part of the I
proceeds of sale. There if no security that i
a debtor who permits articles to be sold by |
the Sheriff, which are necessary to the com- j

him to retain, will apply the money to the j
purchase of other articles exempt front exe- '

The Hasty General.
Truly and emphatically may Gen. Scott be •
denominated the hasty General, for in all his
movements, whether civil or military, politi
cal or otherwise, hastiness, in the most en
larged sense of the term, predominates.—
f!arnshnrg I ntoti.
Just so! He was ' hasty' iu leading the i
charge at the battle of Quecnstown Heights.
• Hasty' in entering, capturing and tearing !
down the British flag waving over Fort !
George.—' 11 ity' in attacking and utterly
routing a greatly superior force at Lundy's
Lane.—' Hasty' in taking VeraCruz.—' Hasty' I
in routing the .Mexicans at Cerro Gordo.—
■ Hasty' in following up the panic stricken
enemy by hi. succession of brilliant engage
ments at Contreras, Churubuseo, Molino del
Rev, and Chapultep -c, and equally hasty in
taking possession of and planting the *tar
spangled banner upon the battlements of the j
City of Mexico. Altogether Gen. Scott is a
pert/ • hasty' sort of a fellow, and rather an j
ugly customer to deal with, whether at the ;
head of the American army, or the great !
Whig party of the country. We advise the j
Locofocos to prepare their knapsacks in ad- :
vance, for a voyage up salt river, as from i
present appearances their march to thai in- j
hospitable region next fall will be a little too |
' hasty' to suit their slow-motioned ideas.—
"Old llasty' never yet was beaten, and never
will be by the miserable troop of Locofoco j
jackal Is, eager for plunder, now barking at j
his heels.— Heading Journal.
The Nominees.
The democratic papers are diligent, in glo- |
rifying General Fierce for his unknown vir- j
tues, and striving to get up au enthusiasm, j
They shout at a furious rate, and affect a :
frantic delight at the overthrow of all their '
prominent men and the nomination of one ;
hitherto unknown. This is very remarkable, j
l'or months and years, Cass, Buchanan, Doug- ;
las, Butler, Houston and Marcv, have been
held up to the country, by the various ! (
members of the party, as the first and fore- j
most statesmen of the age ; and now that all j
of them have been unceremoniously set aside. \
the joy of the whole party knows no bounds, j
It certainly is a curious spectacle for the con- i
templation of reflecting men. " lhe king is ;
dead—long iive the king !' is the common ex- j
clamation on the demise of one and the ac- i
cession of another monarch in monarchical
governments. But that does not preclude be- ;
coming funeral honors for the defunct. In
this case, however, all the common decencies
arc disregarded. The illustrious defeated are
not only overslaughed and spit upon, but j
they are forced to walk in procession and
throw up their caps in honor of their obscure i
and insignificant conqueror. The paths of |
democratic glory lead but to defeat.
The strength of the ticket is of an entirely !
negative character, and that doubtless recom- j
mended its adoption. It was supposed that j
Gen. Pierce's career, having been very ob
scure, was thereby shielded from attack, and >
the adversary party would be compelled to ;
occupy a defensive attitude through the cam- i
paign. It is true that Gen. Pierce has shed i
no dazzling blaze of glory upon his course : I
New Series—Vol. 6-\o. 38.
; but ho lias been a member of Congress, and
in Congress the ayes and noes are recorded.
These tell a tale, and, to the horror of the
Baltimore intriguers, disc lose a positive weak
ness in the ticket in the ruling section of the
, Union. All General Pierce's votes are re
corded against every measure which had for
| its object the developement of the resources
;of the great "West. That we predict will
j prove fatal to him and to his pretensions.—

/ TACTION ! CAUTION!—AII persons aro
j hereby cautioned against a swindler, who
represents himself as my agent; he is going
about soliciting persons to buy Lightning Rods,
which he represents as rny Electric Point Rods.
In some instances fee has produced a certificate,
purpoiting to be from me, authorizing him to
- act as tny agent. He has not confined himself
to this city, but lias been operating on the un
suspecting farmers in the adjacent country. hi
one instance, a building (ori which one of these
rods had been placed, with assurance that it was
| one of my make,) was struck by lightning, and
burnt to the ground. The point was brought to
my factory, and on examination proved to be a
j a piece of cast iron, polished. Complaints of
j this kind are coming in daily.
I now give notice, that I have no agant witli
j in 70 miles of Philadelphia, and all orders must
i be addressed to my Factory, Vine street, above
: J2th, Philadelphia, where they will receive
prompt attention.
This is the only place where the genuine
Electric Magnet Lightning Rod can be procured,
in this city, wholesale or retail, and the electric
influence wholly belongs to myself.
Beware of imposters and pedlers.
