It i very true that the publica tions in Vermont have been lew iu numlier, small in size, and co'ire and rude iu fabric , but still they serve well to illuslrate lhe condition ofa pcoplo entcringnp. on the experiment of sell goverciucut, and, beneath an unpoh-lied exterior, they embody principle which, properly dillused, might serve to n novate the decayed government of the old world, nnd, accompanied by literature, sctiico nnd the nrl-, and, especially, by the elevating power ol Christianity, might setve to raise ihc barbarous and savage hordes ol both hemispheres lrom Iheir low degradation, to the coudi lain of well organized, cnhghieiicd and happy communities. Among thes'tntcsol the American Union, Vermont i peculiar in her origin and early history. All the other original .State had a prcvinu colonial orgnii 7ation. Hut imt so w ith Vermont. 'The inlnluiant, located upon her lertile s.iil, were collected here lrom the various colonic, but were bound togitlier by no civil compact.

Ho was there in licit moro tho object of attention to tho audience, than tho music, and iu tho courso of the evening briclly and felicitously replied to an address from tho ladles of tho Society. Yesterday morning Mr. Clay attended St, llartholomuvv's Church with his Honor tlio May or, where an unusually largo congrei'ation vvero assembled.. On the way thither, wo un. deretaud, lie was met by a large numlwr of Irish men, who thus sought the opportunity of quietly expressing to him tho warm feelings which his ellurts in behalf of Ireland have roused in tlio breasts of all her sons, This morning, at nine, Mr. Clay leaves us on his way homeward ; lie w ill stop at Newark for about nn hour, to exchange greetings with liia fellow citizens of that place, and will reach Philadelphia, where ho had an imperative en gagement, at I iu the afternoon. After spending a day there privately, ho will go homo hy way of Haltitnoro. Mr. Ct-AY has been tvith us now for five days, and through the whole time, has received such tokens of deep respect and enthusiastic attach ment as no man but himself could havo elicited. We now see how firmly he stands in the affec tions not of a few persons or of any particular class, but of the whole People. If there wcro any doubt before, the fact is now undeniable, that no man lives who is so truly beloved ami trifled by the people of this City as 1IBNRY CLAY A'. V. Tribune of the 13A. For the Free Press. I am not aware that at any time previous ha there been so little dicusion in the public papers as it re spects a candidate for President, as has been since tho lnt Presidential election, I!ut as the time, of election is fast approaching, it seems that il it is examined in a right spirit, a to who shall be lhe Standard Hearer, it cannot do any harm. Among so many good, true and capable Whig, it cannot be supposed that all will bo united on any one as their first choice. It apiear very evident that tho first choice of a vast majority of the Whigs of tho Union is Henry Ci.av, and a large majoriiy of the re mainder would prefer him to any living man, could nicy nut Know that ho would be elected, or be the mot arailahle candidate. Hut his having had so many unsuccessful trial, lliey have their doubts id-mt trying him ngain. 'Tin i, to Is- ,irc, an objection and I propose to examine the same, and let a candid public judge of the facts.

'The latter had lieen nominated by Ix-gi.laturcs and Conventions of the people. 'The electoral vote were Ibr Jack.on 0J, Adam 81, Crawford II, and Clay 37; and ns a choice must be made from one of the time highest candidates, Clay was excluded in il.
