The coldness, contempt, dislike, and disapprobation with which those resolutions, and the speech of Mr. Clay, were received on this side of the Atlantic, need not disturb the nerves of that distinguished statesman or his particular friends any longer. If they have got few friends and supporters among the rusty republicans and dirty democrats of this land, they are amply rewarded by the applause and the approbation of the English journalists, and particularly of the London Times. That great organ of public sentiment in London, the London Times, has published those resolutions and the speech of Mr. Clay, and called attention to them, as a great moral lesson, before which they fall down and worship.
The remarks of the London Times are inserted in another column, and they will be found interesting, and particularly gratifying to all the friends of Mr. Clay; so that there is some small drop of consolation in the late English news, at any rate. If cotton and corn are down, Mr. Clay is still right and uppermost in the London Times.—N.Y. Herald.
