The manly frankness of Mr. Ii Clay--the I'M
shaken steadiness of bis course, from the first
rise Of political parties to the present day, with
the consistency Of his public conduct on all &C.
caslons-hls devotion to the republican interests
with the body of which his votes is to be found

having abandoned his friends, though he gain
ed and preserved the respect Of his political
opponents by the suavity of his manners ard
the manifest honesty of his motives--,he zeal
and ability with which he has supported the
great cause of liberty, and the perseverance,
displayed in building UP and establishing the
principles involved in the bills that lately passed
both houses OF Congress concerning internal
improvements and tor the protection of domes-
tic industry, by an "American SYSTEM" which
are admired by those who reject his doctrines,
as showing bis conscious belief in the sound
ness of them--the power, impartali,y and int.
gritty with which he has so long presided over
the proceedings OF the House Of Representa-
tives, most delicate and difficult duty-his
qualities as statesman, character as man,
strength as All orator, and long and faithful
services, all unite to demand that he and his
friends should be treated fairly in the great
contest now going on for the Presidency OF the
United States who, as far as am informed,
have not desired to attack or discrcdt, or i'm
properly weaken the pretensons of other gen.

For the purpose of rendering an act of JUS
tice to a gentleman SO distinguished, and who
is regarded, by many, as the most fitting cha
racter for the chief magistrscy of our country, |
have been requested TO say, as on authority, by
some of his immediate friends, that the various
reports spread through the nation that he VI i'll
cease to be held up a Candidate ungenerous
and unfounded. and in direct opposition to
the facts entertained in the case They
say, he did not offer himself, nor will he
retire of himself. that if the people think
him best qualified to serve them in the most
honorable place that any people has the power
