For a moment, all the Luces were on liptoe, expecting to enjoy a rich treat.- But the song was so onimatinir, tfmt the Whips very ?oon almost imagined themselves n the heat of the contest. The recoections of the late electiens in Morylnd, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, were so inspiring to them, that they alrnost desired fo join t)n music with the words. When the Clerk commenced the last verse- "Now boys three cheera for Harry Clay they became perfectly electrified; and wheir he repeated the choras which follows tfii line- "Hurrah? hurrahií hurrah !!tr the WhififS gave rpnt to their emolione, and brokeout in Uie language of the song. At ihip. cries of "order, order' were heard ii every pnrt of the House, ond down went lh& Speaker's hamrner. Now agoin all was quiet for a moment. The Clerk then proceeded ttv finish reading1 the song, the Kist verse of which la ns follavvs - Now boys, three cheers for Henry Clay- Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, With him we're sure to win the dayr Hurrah, hurrah, bnrrbli, Our President, if he's alive, He's bound to be in ".forty-nve, Hnrrah, hurral), hurrah, hutrab, Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!
