Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monument to the Memory of Henry Clay The object of the present work is two-fold. First, to present in a condensed form a complete Life, and the most important Speeches of Henry Clay; and secondly, to collect, in a form adapted to their preservation, the Eulogies called forth by the death of the great statesman, together with an account of the Obsequies attending his burial. In respect to the first object, it may be said, that the field has already been occupied. In reply, we say that, although the works which have appeared from time to time, and especially the large volumes of Colton, have given us nearly all the information which we can hope to obtain, whether in regard to the public or private life of Henry Clay, yet that they all, and especially those which we have designated, labor under the disadvantage of being too large and too costly for popular circulation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of Henry Clay To almost any eye which surveys dispassionately the field of our National History during the last sixty or seventy years, the stately figure of Henry Clay will come at once and prominently into view. No American eye wall ever overlook it. No American pen will ever attempt to dwarf or disparage it. All that Webster was to the North, all that Calhoun was to the South, Clay was to the Great West; perhaps more than all. Neither of these three remarkable men ever commanded the votes of the whole country, or grasped the coveted prize of the Presidency. But together - sometimes in opposition, sometimes in conjunction, and almost always in rivalry - they exercised an influence on public affairs far greater than that of any other three men of their times. They did not leave their peers. Thus far they have had no successors of equal individuality, prominence, and power. Their last signal public efforts were made, side by side, in the Senate of the United States, in support of what were called the Compromises of 1850. Before two years more had elapsed, they were all three in their graves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Ceremonies on the Fourth of July, 1857, at the Laying of the Corner Stone of a National Monument, to Be Erected Near Lexington, Kentucky, to the Memory of Henry Clay: Together With the Oration Delivered on the Occasion The Fire Companies present were the Lafayette and Union Companies of Louisville, and the several Companies of Lexington. The family carriage, which was presented to Mr. Clay by the Citizens of Newark, N. J., in 1833, which was the only one in the procession admitted nto the Cemetery grounds, was ornamented with white funereal plumes and wreaths of evergreens and flowers. It was occupied by Aaron Dupuy, an old negro servant of Mr. Clay, who had been in his service for many years. In the back seat was a bust of Mr. Clay, and the engraving of his leave-taking of the Senate. Long before the procession arrived at the Cemetery, 3 large concourse had assembled and were in waiting, occupying every eligible point to witness the interesting ceremonies.

In truth bewas only a sort of step-father who at an important period gave his foster-child not only a scolding, but a drubbing which nearly resulted in death. It is Often assumed that he was the father of the sound-money doctrine because he was a fervent champion of the National Bank. As a matter of fact, he was wabbly on this subject, voting, as a rule, against Benton's specie standard, which is to-day the law of the land. His first great speech in the Senate was against the bank. It is sometimes assumed that he was the real father of the law to give the settler on the public lands a free or very cheap title. In reality he was usually on the opposite side, demanding big prices, but Offering the surplus as a largess to the States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biography of Henry Clay For many of the imperfections of this volume, the intelligent reader will require no apology. During the greater part of my stay in Ken tucky, I have been unable, from indisposition, to endure the labour of writing; and hence, when my health has permitted, I have necessarily written with a degree of haste wholly inconsistent with the care and attention which, under other circumstances, I should certainly have be stowed upon my work. The necessity of sending the manuscript to N ew-england, sheet by sheet, without even allowing myself time to preserve copies of it, has undoubtedly led to some errors of plan and ar rangement. The same necessity, together with that of limiting the vo lume to a given number of pages, has compelled me to omit several im portant incidents in the more recent portion of Mr. Clay's history.

Download or read book The Papers of Henry Clay written by Henry Clay and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This supplement to The Papers of Henry Clay contains documents discovered too late to be included in the proper chronological sequence in earlier volumes. Spanning the years from 1793 to 1852, the items shed important light on Clay's early years in Kentucky, his legal career, and his work for the Bank of the United States. Material dealing with the "Corrupt Bargain" charge is particularly rich, and many of the letters that appear in this volume fill gaps in exchanges already published. Clay's correspondence with Benjamin Watkins Lee of Virginia and Mary Bayard, wife of Delaware senator Richard Henry Bayard, is especially interesting.An essay on Clay portraits by Clifford Amyx, professor emeritus of art at the University of Kentucky, provides a detailed discussion of the paintings, statues, busts, engravings, and daguerreotypes that featured Clay as the subject. Appended to the essay is a calendar listing each major work, the artist, date of completion, and present location. A comprehensive bibliography of works cited in the entire series will benefit researchers seeking information in addition to that provided in the annotations. This supplement is an essential addition to the earlier volumes in the series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medals and Tokens of Henry Clay In 1824 it was Clay's privilege to welcome the great hero, the Marquis de Lafayette, to the House of Representatives. It was a solemn and touch ing scene, and Clay delivered an address full of feeling. With delicacy he seized upon theopoetic side of Lafayette's visit, saying: The vain wish has been sometimes indulged that Providence would allow the patriot, after death, to return to his country, and to contemplate the intermediate changes which had taken place, to View the forests felled, the cities built, the mountains leveled, the canals cut, the highways constructed the progress of the arts, the advancement of learning, and the increase in the popula tion. General, your present visit to the United States is a realization of the consoling object of that wish. You are in the midst of posterity. Clay and Lafayette had long been friends and correspondents. The old soldier had been completely won by the brilliant and frank Clay, and he was repeatedly heard to speak of Clay as the man whom he most wished to see made President of the United States. On March 25th, 1825, the House thanked Clay by resolution for the able, impartial and dignified manner in which he had presided over its deliberations. His biographers state that Clay stands in the traditions of the House as the greatest of its Speakers. He was a past master of parlia mentary law. Even his bitter enemies felt obliged to give their assent to this resolution. Clay got into an argument with John Randolph of Vir ginia in 1825, and Randolph called him a blackleg. A duel promptly resulted. They exchanged shots, both missed. Only Randolph's coat was touched. At the second shot Clay put another bullet through Randolph's coat, xbut Randolph emptied his pistol into the air, exclaiming, I do not fire at you, Mr. Clay. Thereupon they shook hands and forgot their enmity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He himself subsequently said that he had conceived the plan while on a visit in Philadelphia, before the opening of the session, where he had conferences concerning it with several manufacturers, who concurred. It was communicated to Webster, who did not ap prove of it. Upon his return to Washington, Clay had interviews with Calhoun, who agreed to his scheme. Then and there a singular coalition was formed between the champion of protection and the most absolute free-trader; the chief of the latitudinarians and the strictest of strict construc tionists the emancipationist at heart and the dev otec of the divine right of slavery; the most en thusiastic Union man and the apostle of the right, of nullification and secession.

This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Monument to the Memory of John Wilkes Booth So many things have been told about Pink Parker and his monument which do not agree with the facts, that we are going to attempt to tell the story as we have been able to get it from his grandsons and people in Troy who knew' him and loved him. But first, let us see the picture as it was in the summer of 1921 when Pink was already more than half blind, sick and living with his son in Georgia. The Brooklyn Eagle of Sunday morning, June 5, 1921, had this to say: Mrs. C. D. Brooks, president of the Woman's League of Republican Voters in Alabama, has issued a call to good citizens, whatever their party affiliations, to join with the League in plans to remove the monument to John Wilkes Booth, the as sassin of Abraham Lincoln, which is still standing in Troy, Alabama, where there is also a State Normal School. This was erected by popular subscription in 1866. The sentiment that condoned the political murder of the most lovable man in his tory is a curious thing to study after the lapse of more than half a century. The whole South of today honors Lincoln's memory. There are no pilgrims to the grave of John Wilkes Booth or to his monument.
