CLAY" REPUDIATE k HIM'.-WHlGGE-HY'S
FlXENS DEMOLISHED!! 1 ' Ki r
'Tha western mail of 'yesterday thought as the
iuhjoined.letto from Henry Ciay. To understand
the drift of this, it is necessary to state that the
whips of Ohio have imported into this State Cossi
usM. Clay; of Kentucky, whbisa pretended abo
litionist,' yet' devoted to (he cause of his kinsman,
Henry' Clay. " The whip llioughf,. if Uejr' could
get Cassius to "slump it" over Ihe Reserve where
the liberty party has considerable strength, that the
latter would be likely to listen to the advice of such
authority!. Cassius weut on.. , Ho; appealed to the
liberty men.. Ha .. wrote , letters and delivered
speeches to the efleel that Henry Clay was the man
for the liberty jparty to "support. The stratagem
Seeded Jo succeed, ilut alas! hpw vain are mor
tal hopes.1 t The Kentucky tfolks got wind o( this
scheme. Then tbty began to hover around the
"embodiment" and ask him if he (ten abolitionist,
as Cassius b representing lilin hi' the north of Ohio
and other places. .They force him to come out.
.. The consumate impudence in bringing ever Cas
sius M. Clay into this State, for the purpose ol de
ceiving and humbugging the people in reference to
H.' Clay's opinions on Slavery, is another feature
of the grand scheme of rascality by which whiggcry
is attempting to: carry ,the election. . Fraud and
falsehood are their weapons their only resort
But their double gamo wont jibe, the people are
seeing through the whole -manoeuvre. It would
seem that CM. Cloy is utterly disowned by the
whig1 party at the South; but Corwin and Ewin,?
think him good enough to GULL LIBERTY
MEW WITH! But here is the letter: , .
; ., , (From the-Lexington Reporter.
' : 'Ashland, Sep 2d. 1841. :
ri;Mr ! Vjcici.ieite: The edito-. of a neighbor
ing print, (the Kentucky Gazette, of Lexington,)
calling my attention to a letter of C. M. Clay, Esq.,
pnderdate the 10th July, 1814, and addressed to
Col. J. J. Speed of Ithaca, has appealed tome,
with so much earnestness, and with a purpose of
such Unaffected sincerity, to say whether I approve
or disapprove pf that, letter, that I have not the
heart to deny to that editor the very great gratifi
cation which he will derive from the perusal of
this note, especially when It gives me so little trou
ble to write it.. . .
' "Ma. C. M. Clay's letter was written
WITHOUT MY KNOWKEDGE, WITHOUT ANY
CONSULTATION WITH ME, AND WITHOUT ANT
AUTHORITY FROM ME. I nCVCT SrtW it Ulllil I
read it in the public prints. That gcnll'manU
an independent citizen, having a perftC right to
entertain and avow his own npinion.1. I am not
RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM, Ait HE IS NOT FOn
mine. -SO FAR AS HE VENTURES TO IN
TERPRET MY FEELINGS, HE HAS EN
' TIRELY MISCONCEIVED THEM. I believe
him to be equally mint alien as la those in the cir
cle of my personal friends and neighbors, gener
ally. - . . .. -
In my speech, addressed to the Senate of the
United States, and in resolutions which I offered
to that body, iir my address to Mr. Mendenhall,
about two years ago, and on various other public
occasions, I have fully, freely, and explicitly avow
ed my sentiments and opinions, on the subject ot
the institution of slavery add abolition. I adhere to
them, without an v reservation.?' I have neither en
tertained nor expressed, publicly or privately, any
others. And my friends and neighbors generally,
so far as I have IntcrchangecUcntimcnts with them,
coincide, entirely, with me.
.The sciitimoiits and opinions, so expressed by
mc.maybe briefly stated to be: 1st. That Con
gress has ho power or authority over the institu
tion of Slavery. 2nd. That the existence, main
tenance and continuance of that Institution depend
exclusively, upon the power and. authority of the
respective Stales, within which it is situated. And
3d. That Congress cannot interfere with Slavery
in the District of Columbia, w ithout a violation a
good faith to the Stales of Maryland and Virginia,
implied, if hot expressed, in the terms, objcctsa.and
purposes of the grant of ten miles square to the
General Government: '
So far from the success ol the whig cause having
any injurious tendency, as lias been alleged, I be
. lieve it will have a powerful tiled in tranquili.ing
and harmonizing all parts oi the Union, and in
giving confidence,'Vrcngth, and security to nil the
great interests of our own country.
. I hops that your editorial neighbor will he now
satisfied. And, as I trust that I do not exaggerate
the pleasure which this renewed expression of my
views and opinions will give him, is it too much
to anticipate that he will forthwith renounce the
error of his waysj and come straight out a staunch
ond sterling whig? ' '
"'"'j'""? Yours respectfully,

CLAY'S SOUTHERN FACE. . .
",' That Clay' Wears more than' one face is evident
from his letters. That he advocates principles in
the south which he condemns in the north is
evident from the fact that the southern coons
support him on the giound that he is in favor of
the annexation of Texas, while the northern coons
cling to him because they say he is opposed to
annexation.' ' These adverse' opinions aro based
upon a knowledge of Mr. Clay's views, as express
ed through confidential letters written to both
these section! of the Union, and upon declarations
of his similar to those contained in his "latest
expression" as published in this day's Guard. 1
, It is known that all our northern whig stumpers
denounce the idea of annexation, and contend that
Clay himself is opposed to it. So in the south, the
coons support him, believing that he is in favor of
the plan, as the following resolution .from the
Cahawba t Alabama) Gazette will fully prove. Let
the coons of Ohio, read it and blush : -
'"Resolved, that as Whigs, good and true, we will
support Henry Clay and Theodore Frelinghuysen
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the
United States, as the best means of carrying into
effect bur principles',-and ultimately of securing
the annexation of Texas." Circleotlle Guard.
A difficult position. One of our whig ex
changes says, tbat'although Mr. Clay is a slave
holder, be is strongly opposed to the institution
itself,' (that is, we suppose, in the abstract,) and
has striven with earnestness for several years past
to effect its abolition. ; In his letter about dueling,
recently published, he pronounces it an inhuman
and abominable practice, but will not, at the age
of sixty-severi years, commit himself against it!
There never, was a more glaring instance of theory
contradicted by practice. ViyoHiyn 'g"-.,.
-, THE COMPARISON..,.;,,. VJ .J
. ilThe Merimao Manufacturing Company Juve re
cently mads s semi-annual dividend, which with a
previous like dividend, makes up the sum of $400,
000,' which the stockholders' have received wilhiji
the year, besides which they - have laid aside re
serve of one hundred and ten thousand dollars for
contingencies, which.Jr fairness Ought also lo be
added to the profits.-,.,.,. .. ( .., ;-., ,
This Company, says the New York Evening
Post, has a capital of two millioris'of dollars. In
one year tho use of this capital,, after paying wages
and salaries and commissions to every body em
ployed, brings to the stockholders half a million
more.' ;'.'.,. , . ,
there any farmers or planters, he should be
glad to know, who have received any thing like
the same proportion for their lands' the past year?
The whig papers tell us that this class of men a
extremely prosperous; if so, it can be shown.
Is there a single man engaged in agriculture in
all the United States, who, ' aftor paying all the ex
penses upon a farm worth two thousand dollars, in
cluding a competent salary for his own labor and
that of other persons employed with him, finds left
to him a profit of four hundred dollars, and a reserve
of one hundred and ten dollars for repairing his
buildings and fences, buying stock and manuring
his grounds? If any such man exists, let us have
his name and place of residence, and the proof of
his prosperity, we promise to publish it most con
spicuously, and to make in addition a public apolo
gy to the whole tribe of manufacturers. .
But, if no such man can be found, will there be
any found who will put party. above country and
justice, and. say that the present Tariff shall not be
so modified as to afford "equal and just protection
to all the great interests of the whole Union, inclu
ding Agriculture,, Manufactures, the Mechanic
Arts, Commerce and navigation? Cm Enquirer.

INDIAN BATTLE.
The St. Louis Republican says: "We learn
frnm a gentleman from the Missouri, that a battle
took place, three or four weeks since, on the Indian
Territory, between a party of the Sacsof the Wis
souri, and a party ol Pawnees. The latter had eight
men killed, the Sacs one. The Sacs relurncdto
their village with five scalps. The Pawnees stole
five horses from their enemy, and thus brought on
the fight.

will Mr Polk take iu relation to the bank question

Toryism outright! What boldness is Federal

"At a whig meeting held last week in high street

Whigs of the revolution in establishing liberty of
conscience and Ireeuom oi opinion on religious
matters, was proposed and rejected by a large ma
