Sentative at present.

We published some comments in orr last on the
Iacobnica conduct of some of the Philade phia
Jacksonans relative to Mr.. Clay's expected visil
TO that city. Since then have seen the proceed
lngs of meeting OF the friends OF the Adlnln,tra-
ton in consequence Of this conduct expressing their
surprise and Indignation and relying < on the
sound sense and Just feelings of their fellow cti-
zens to put down every attempt to interfere with
their unquestionable rights committee Of be-
tween two and three hundred, residing in the city,
Southwark, Moyamensing, Passynnk, Penn Town
ship, Northern Liberties and Kinsiugton, German
town and Roxborough, Franliord, Bristol sc. &c.
we're appointed to receive and entertain MIR. Clay
in the most suitable manner, as testimony Of their
appreciation of his signal public services. On that
Committee are found the names Of the most respec
table citizens.
We have little doubt that if Mr.. Clay had gons
to Philadelphia at the time he expected thu
scenes which would have followed would have dis
graced our country. 1t would be wrong, to suppos
that every Jacksonan approved OF such conduct IA
twas too Jacobinica for the more rational part O
them. They could not but know that the friends G
MIR. Clay had right to entertain him publicly, if h
came to the city, in peace and qulctness. If me
did not wish TO join in such testimonial OF thei
respect for Mr.. Clay, they might stay at home, an
suffer others, who thought differently, to expires
good feelings and appreciation in any way the
thought proper, consistent with the rights OF the
fellow citizens But no--thcse friends OF the Gel
era were unwilling that Mr.. Clay should set h
foot peaceably and quietly in the city, and enJo
those marks of respect which so many OF the be
portion of the community thought he deserved ar
which they were anxious to show him. They we
determined to assemble and exhibit their hostllit
lest wrong impression should go abroad Of Il
sentiment of Philadelphia relative to Mr.. Clay.
Even this preparatory step was highly censuI
bic, on such an occasion, and would if carried
to execution, been still more Jacobinical in
effects.
However, good has proceedcd,--and must s
proceed from such conduct. 1t shows to the rai'
al peaceable, and quiet citizen, one tint more of
TRAITS oil violent Jacksonian pariizans.
