— EW YORK HERALD. New York, Sunday, May U1, 1545. Henry Clay still in the Field—More Letters— Politics and Religion, @ Mr. Clay still contmues to favor us with specimens of his epistolary powers. He may, indeed, be properly regarded as the “Com- plete Letter Writer? of the age. During the past month he has written two letters, one on religion and the other on polities, which are very characteristic and very interesting. The religi- ous epistle has reference to the divisions in the Me- thodist Church; and was written in reply to a Con- vention of preachers from the slave-holding districts, assembled at Louisville in the early part of April. Here is the letter:— Asutanp, April 7, 1845. Dean Six :—Our mutual friend, Mr. Mitchell, of Frank- fort, delivered to me, the day before yesterday, your let- ter, with several publications under your name, in re- ard to the unfortunate controversy which has arisen in fhe Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States, all of which I have attentively perused’ You desire an ex- pression of my opinion on certain inquiries communi- cated in your letter. T have long entertained for that church sentiments of profound esteem and regard, and I have the happiness of numbering, among its members some of the best friends Ihave in the world. 1 will add, with great truth, that I have witnessed with much isfaction, the flourishing coadition of the church, and the good sense and wisdom which have generally characterized the administration of its affairs, as far as 1 have observed it. It was, therefore, with the deepest regret that I heard, in the course of the past year, of the danger of a divi of the church, in consequence of a difference of opinion existing on the delicate and wohanpy subject of slavery. A division, for such a cause would be an event mies to be deplored, both on account of the church itself ani its political tendency. Indeed, scarcly any public occurs rence has happened for a long time, that gave me so much real concern and pais as the menaced separation of the church, by a line, throwing all the free States on one side, and all the slave States on the other. 1 will not say that such a separation would necessarily produce a dissolution of the padicel Union of these States; but the example would be fraught with immi- nent danger, and, in co-operation with other causes un- fortunately existing, its stability on the confederacy would be perilous and alarming. Entertaining these views, it would aflord me the high- est satisfaction to hear of an adjustment of the controver- sy, a reconciliation between the opposing parties in the chureh, and the preservation of its unity, Ilimit myself to the political aspect of the subject, without expressing any opinion on either of the plans of compromise and settlement which have been published, which I could not do without exposing myself to impro- per imputations. With fervent hopes and wishes that some arrangement of the difficulty may be devised and agreed upon, which shall preserve the church in union and harmony, Tam, respectfully, your obedient servant, H. CLAY.” The second letter relates to the politics of this wicked world. It was written in reply to the ad- dress of the central committee of the whig clubs of this city, and was received “with the most lively and prolonged demonstrations of delight,” by the vast and influential assemblage of the committee. Here it is + Asutann, April 25, 1845. Gentiemes: Hon. Willis Gres livered to mo, a few days ago, at this place, the a to me which you did me the honor to make the 4th Dlarch last, enrolled on parenetss and enclosed ina silver caso, manufactured y Mr. Wm. Adams for the occasion. I received it with emotions of grateful which it would be vain to attempt to describe. all considerations of the causes and consequences of the recent Presidential election, of which it treats, as a past and irrevocable event, on which I have neither inclina- tion, nor would it perhaps be fitting for me to expatiate; I take pleasure in expressing my profound and grateful sense of the great, persevering and efficient labors of the Central Clay Committee of tho city of New York, during the canvass which preceded the election. And I must express also the high and lasting gratitude which I feel to the committees and to the whigs of New York, for the ardent attachment and generous confidence towards me, displayed at the commencement and throughout the whole progress of the campaign, and now manifested in tones of touching and fervid eloquence in the address before me. The patriotism which animated them in the contest could never have been doubted; but this docu- ment, reperey after our defeat, bears conclusive evi- dence both of their patriotism and disinterestedness. My situation is peculiar. I have been, in spite of unexpect- ed discomfiture, the object of honors and compliments usually rendered only to those who are successful and victorious, in the great enterprises of mankind. To say nothing of other demonstrations, the letters, addresses and communications which I have received, since the election, from every quarter, from collective bodies and individuals, and froin both sexes, conveying sentiments and feelings of the earnest regard and strongest friend- ship, and deploring the issue of thewelection, would fill a large volume. Ihave been quite as much, if not more affected by them than I was by any disappointment or personal interest of my own in the event of the contest. Among them, gentlemen, thoes kind address will ever be cherished by me with the most gratified feelings; and, inthe durable form in which you have had goodness to transmit it to me, it will be preserved Precious memorial, on which’ my remotest descendants may gaze, as I have perused it, with proud satisfaction. Iam, gentlemen, with high respect, Your faithful friend, H. CLAY. sensibility Waiving It will thus be perceived that Mr. Clay is not idle, He has, indeed, been exerting himself in a variety of movements. He has sent a large quantity of hemp to New Orleans for sale, and he has been mending his fences with a degree of industry and success highly commendable. Nor have his friends meanwhile been inactive. They have collected for him thirty thousand dollars, besides statues. Alto- gether Mr. Clay appears to be in a more famous po- sition than ever. He seems, indeed, to occupy amongst the American people a position similar to that of some great ecclesiastical father—a sort of Grand Laima as it were—to whom offerings are made, and to whose shrine pilgrims wend their way. And we must say that he conducts himself with a great deal of propriety; and may be regarded as still in the field for future contingencies, in spite of all that has been said or done. Mr. Clay’s concern for the Methodist Church is quite excruciating. But we do not think that the Union is going to be broken up, because a few nar- row minded preachers of any church happen to fall out, and quarrel about the division of the spoils. We do not then, at all,-share in Mr. Clay’s benevolent and patriotic fears for the continued integrity of the Union. Neither are we afraid even of the influence of the Democratic party in de- stroying the morals and prosperity of the coun- try. However, we should like to see the whigs try their hands at power again. Perhaps the next chance they have, they will manage their cards bet- ter than they did the last time. We shall see. CotLecror or New Yorx.—The, Morning News and Post say that Mr. Coddington is to be Collector, and that his appointment will take effect in June.— There is not the slightest ground for supposing that | any such change has been made in the Custom House, according to our intelligence. The rumor is, however, quite significant. It was first started in the Tribune, and has been given out by those who seek the change, in order to produce an excitement amongst the office-seekers here. Another commit- tee has,very likely,gone onto Washington a few days since,and another desperate effort is in progress to ef- fect the removal of Mr. Van Ness. The Collector himself is at present in Washington, his opinion and advice having been desired on business of the Treasury department. Wuie Eprrors in New Yorx.—According to a recent resolution of the organs of the whig party, Horace Greeley has been nominated an honorary member of the Central, Whig Committee, with great applause. Horace may now be considered as the leading and accredited whig editor in this part of the country. Allthe others in Wall street, including Colonel Webb and Mr. King, are reduced to secon- dary importance. ea Recest or te Unrversrry.—In a democratic caucus of the legislature, held in Albany on Friday, Jabez D.

Their only means of existence are derived from pos- session of office, and the spoils, and the constant clamor for more subscriptions and contributions. With respect to the demise of the New World, and its absorption by another paper, that merely indi- cates the falling off of both. The New World has only had an ephemeral existence. of the real elements of strength and prosperity; and the Emporium which now swallowsit up, is, we be- lieve, the most milk and water, weak, sickly, and melancholy concern of the kind that ever struggled for existence.

One design of this work, as we learn from the introdue- ion, is to serve as a text-book for senior classes in colleges, with a view of exhibiting in connection with the Platonic, the other systems of Greek phi- losophy, and their bearing upon the christian theolo- zy. Besides, therefore, commending itself general- fy to scholars and literary men, it cannot fail of proving a valuable addition to the libraries of cler- gymen, &c. Its appearance is opportune, when ul- tra-liberalism of sentiment seems to be obtaining as much in the matters of our theological, as in our litical creeds. Harper and Brothers are the pub- ishers.
