The following paragraph is copied from the Nor

Herald the known discretion OF its editor, and The
opportunity Of obtaining information which is Afford
led by the passage OF Southern Members OF Con-
gress through that place. on their return home, we
Iare induced 10 believe that he has thown the true
light upon the motives of the votes OF more than
one of the fourteen Senators who opposed the nom
lination of Mr. Clay. We cannot conceive, howeN~
ler in what manner the letter OF the Constitution
could be supposed to have been contrayened by the
appointment Of Mr.. clay. The trainers of the Con-
sttution must have foreseen this and had they
supposed it advisable, would have expressly provid-
ed against it, We are the more disposed to give
credit to the suggestion of the Editor OF the Herald
Iron having ourselves heard an intelligent gentle
Imam remark that he considered the appointment OF
lMr. Clay inconsistent with the SPIRIT though not
lag ainst the letter, Of the Constitution:
Nat Intel.
i "None Of the papers have informed Us upon what
lgrounds the fourteen Senators opposed the nomlna~
ion Of MIR. Clay to the Office OF Secretary OF State
land hence the impression has generally prevailed.
THAT the opposition I. las altogether OF personal ma
|ture, referring to the part which Mr. Clay took IN
1.-The Presidential election. We have reason 10 be-
leve, however, that 1t proceeded from more eve
waited motive and that it was upon Constitutional
lgrounds entirely, that the nomination was opposeo.
81 We presume the question upon that provision
of the Constitution which declares Member OF
congress ineligible to any Office which be shall have
|had an agency in creating Mr.. Clay had no agen-
Icy in creating the Office Of Secretary OF State out u
might admit of a question, whether his agency IN
lmaking vacancy in it, did not amount to the same
thing5 But for This question, it is proosbie there
would not have been dissenting voice 10 his ap-
c lpontment."
