SPEECH ; . -HENRY CLAY . AT" CHARLESTON; S.C.- - • ta The Charleston papers represent the recap. 'caption of Mr. CLAY at that city, un the 6th inst. as truly brilliant. A great procession of citizens, comprising some of the niost distinguished men of the city, formed 'an, escort for hini, and arches were thrown across the street' through . which he passed, bearing apPropriate,devlbes and mottos: Every manifestation of enthusiastic welcome was made. Mr,Cx.sr was conducted to the Oitithea tre, where a large crowd of ladies were present, and there was weleolned by Dr. William Reed, a' hero of 1776, in.anaddress which glowingly and gratefully acknowledged Mr. CLAY'S patriotic vices to his country. To this Mr. Clay responded in I speech of thrilling eloquence, enthralling the attention of an interested and delighted • auditory for nearly two'hours. The fell mingle furnished as a sketch of itsleading points : Mr. CLAY began witha grbeeful and happy al lusion, to the matiner of his reception -to the giertethl 'and honorary welcome accorded him, without distinction of patty—and attributed it not to any personal merit of his own, or personal fa vor towards him, but rather to ie courtesy nod hospitality 'for which our ancient city had been always distinguished. He returned his thahlts• to the various committees, to tho throng or citi zens, and especially to the assemblage okfair la dies,-who had united to greet him. 'lts giblify,.. ration ut his.veception was greatly enhanced by the organ selected to express the general feeling —the venerable and gallant soldier of the revolu-, lion who had just and so eloquently addressed him, and who had bestowed on him a meed so far beyond his merits. In relation to the Missouri question, he had been greatly assisted by others I in its'happy, adjustment—and by none more cal. ciehtly than by his personal friend the lamented I.ewpfncs, whose known wisdom, bland arid amiable manners, and spotless virtue did ' wonders in th'e work of conciliation 'and peace— bind he deOurecl that in the long course of his own public service, of ail the statesmen with whOm he had mingled in t he-counsels of the country, he had found that illustrious and departed worthy to be !ghat wisest, the purest, the best." So too in ref erence to the Tara Compromiseuf 1833, (hero were fitherslargely entitled to share in whatever credit it conferred on its authors ; but this he wpuld • say that on both occasions lie was maim ated only by the desire to harmonize and p nate:our political union, without Which our fiber ties; our' prosperity, and our •greatness would be inoldtably diVtillyCd..-111r. CLAY then alluded to thFeeeasion and the motives of his 'present tour. He knew tliut he was accused, by the selfisheld ungeneCelis, Of making an -electioneering tom . — but lie of once denied and despised the imputation. He had visited the city of Now-Orleans pur4 on - a matter of business; and his return home furnish: 7 bd him , he thgoglit, a faverable opportunity, to fonrSoetlicrn States of the confederacy, I Alabama, - Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, and iu neither of which (with the ex ception of a visit to Mobile, last year) had lie ev er been before,' and which injtbe ordinary course of nature and affairs, lie was never likely to 6.6 e again: On his progress hitherto, in every city; town, vil lage, hamlet and crosiDroad on his rout, he had been generously and hospitably welcomed, with. cut discrimination of party. Under such eiteurri• sheets, lie thought lie might yenta() without harm to visit the land of Marion, of Sumter, of Pickens—that he aright without blame conic - to the home of the Rutledges, the Pinchneys and the Middletons—and surrey or reconnoitre, as fur ns his oppOitunities would allow him, the ground and the scenes where the- venerable and . gallant Chairman of the committee and Ilia' compatriots had fought the battles of the revolution. It was said he_ as a candidate for the Presidency. Ile could not deny that from the St. John's to the banks of the Sabine, spontaneous demonstrations unsought and onprompled by II lin, had been made in. his fiver; but lie had se rer yet consented or deelared..to any one that lie wan u candidate for the Presidency—at present lie was a plain limner, earning his labor by the sweat of his • brow, or rather by tire joint sweet of himself and those whti labored for liim—and however near the peri. ed of final decision might be, had reserved the right of such decision for the proper moment and the twoo - er occasion. 'Mr. Clay then entered into a freink and fearless exposition of his views on the great (pie:moos of the tariff, and the currency. Ile said Ire came here to flatter no man orriet al men—that what lie would dare say on the banks of the Elkhorn he. would dare say in the Palmetto State. He had ever been in favor of the protective policy to a certain extent. To preserve at once the'peace and the great interests of the cituntry, he had been active to effecting the Compromise of 1833, and although he was far from maintaining the doe. trine that any Congress could bind, its successurs, the extraordinary exigence e and stale of the coun try which led to the passade.of thqt compromise made him feel .it an obligation of honor to adhere to • it in good faith; and he challenged the, most diligent scotch of the•record do show that he had ever comitenaticed its violation in the slightest particular—any more, he was bold to say that du ring his entire service in Congress since, there never bad- been an effort .to violate it Which had not mei with his prompt and earnest resistance. It was.important to understand the tree choreic• ter of that compromise. It provided for a•grailu• al reduction of duties down to. 20 per cent. at a given time, and rifler that for the •raising of such a revenue, tiy duties on imports exclusively, us was necessary loran economical administration of the government. list the pfinciple of the home valuation was an essential and indispensable fea ture. of that compromise—without that feature it could not have passed, nine Senatorial votes hay. ing depended on that concession—and although a distinguished Senator from South • Carolina ivt. first strongly opposed it, he . aflerwaida publicly and pointedly in the Senate surrendered the point and the passage of the measure was secured. Mr. C. denied that the principle of the compromise required the maximum rate of duty to be fixed at 20 per cent—its true 'Principle was that 110 more revenue Minuild Ire raised than was necessary for an honest and' economical administration of the government, and within that limit there might be diSyrifllllllllioll ill favor of domestic industry. Ile wait far from conceding that tire Thrif of 1842 was in trielatjon of this principle piths compromise —but if it were it equally violated the principle of the home' valuation, and neither interest Mice led by it bad_ More right to complain than the oth: cr. A , brief vindication of a moderate protective polity next followed, as necessary to secure the independence of the country, end its ability for defence in time of war; and as furnishing to the aariculttiral proda_cer:rdiomainarket-in-addition to the foreign ciarktt—in other words two mar• beta aside and two Markets of purchase. • Mr. Clay concluded this ,Iwancli of' his subject by declaring ltimself in favor of er system of pro. tection, in oderate'reasonable, certain `and durdble —yielding no more revenue than is necessary for an honest and economical administration of the government, and within that limit, discriminating in the imposition of duties, between {hose articles which do and those which do not enter into com. petition 'with domestic industrys—thrbwing the' heavier duty on the former and the lighter duty on the latter. Ile said that on this basis this great question must be settled—that we 'must live together," we cannot do otherwise--and there must be some common ground on which we should meet.' That the advocates of free trade and the advocates of prohibitory or high duties, occupied the two extremes; and safety and peace could only be foood-bTtakifig themidelleyritin — Th - e - it neith er interest or section could expect-to have it all their own way--the matter must be'adjusted by concession, compromise, conciliation-=such con teasie is, compromise and conciliation as led to the adoption of the federal constitution; and under the influence of .which our political union would cOn• tieffe to fulfil its sacred trust ; and move forward in its high career a.-blessing, to'our race., gait] interest must concede something, end thus o sys tem of equivalents, would give satisfaction to all.

The House has been busily engaged for a week or more on the bill for the Sale of the Main Line of the public works. Every obstacle has been thrown in the way by the opponents of the meas. tire, and one amendment after another proposed for the purpose of breaking down the bill. The first four sections of , the bill, fixing the price at twenty millions of dollars, passed oh Monday by a vote of 56 to 33—Mr. fleck' voted in favor, Mr. Eckcls absent. On Friday last the bill was finally, passed, after a prOposition hied -been adopted by a vote of 48 to 45, by which the question of selling .the public' works is to be submitted to a vote of the people at the next election! This proposition was introduced by, the enemies of tho bill, and will, if it is concurred in by the Senate, have the effect to delay the operations of he bill many months. Mr. Heck of this count iMposed this mendment—Nr. Eekels was absent. Every Whig hut three voted against it. The people may' sec by this which party is in fever of selling the Feh r lie Works. The opposition to the bill through every stage of its passage has been from loco fo• cos! Tho bill has yet to pass the Senate.

Harper's majority over Coddinglon 4.50 ; altar , of a majority over Coddington and Franklin 769 In the Common Council, 12 Native Americans Were elected Aldermen, and 11 assistantCs dem.' ocrats and 6 assistants. Tho result shows that the Whigs in nest the wardi, aware that adherence to th* oWit* ticket would insure the success of the Tammany candidates, dropped them and voted for the Native Americans. In the result 'of this election the inigsot New York have great.eause • for empty graf:tflati;m. The Tammany rule which has dis. graced the city so long,is at an 'end. Bettor men with better measures, will take the place of those the people have so signally rebuked for their profligacy and misrule; and driven out of Office by majorities greater/than( were ever known in time city before.
