The correspondent of the New York Courier, The Spy in Washington, under date of March 2, says -- "Last night, after the passage of Mr. Clay's bill of compromise and his land bill, I had a few moments conversation with him. I observed that the passage of these bills, which he had so much at heart; must be a source of great satisfaction to him. "Sir' said he, his countenance lighting up, and his eyes flashing fire, this has been the most proud and triumphant day of my life.' Mr. Clay had gained more reputation as an orator and acquired more fame as a statesman, within two weeks, than in the whole course of his long and laborious public career.
