1t seems that Baltimore is an unfortunate thea
tire for Presidential farces.-Last year, Mr.. Adj
ans appeared there in The after piece Of ss Ebony
aud Topaz" personating Ebony, while the whole
nation Kissed, the world Knocked, and the Ebonies
groaned at the g bad taste" of the diplomatic per-
formcr.-This year, Mr.. CLAW has favored the Bal.
timoreans with second exhibition, or Ebony oat
Ebonisd, taking upon himself the character Of
DsmaSogue.
There are thousands of people in this country,
who can scarcely credit the evidence OF their own
senses, when they look at the conduct Of the pre-
sent Secretary Of State and compare it with that
of Henry Clay, the late Speaker of the House of
Representatives. 1t is difficult to believe that the
Secretary, and the Speaker. are the same person
liz the former, we behold man. wholly absorbed
by ambiti n. the vulture fastened upon his yitals,
us cravings have fired his soul with envy, hatred,
and malice, prompting him to the most desperate
deeds, exposing him to the world in character,
that bids the people beware that admonshcs them
to abandon him In the latter we saw the able ad-
vocate of the peoples rights, the eloquent debater,
in short the favorte of the people. But how aw
full the contrast What warning to the ambitious !!
beacon, pointing out the rock, on which the for
tunes of Henry Clay have been wrecked, Let the
ambitious ponder on the fate of this individual,
and shun the whirlpool that has enguphed him But
who would suppose that ambition, even inordinate
ambition, would SO soon destroy the senses That
it perverts the judgment, and obterates all moral
principle, there are abundant evidences of, but in
sanity, or a madness bordering on insanity, is the
last stage CT the malady, and arises from bitter
sappolntment.-Mr. Clay behods the goal OF his
fondest wishes, beyond his reach. The object OF
his painting desire is in the hands Of the people,
and they have abandoned him to his fate. A last
desparate effort is to be made, coaxiug, and bow
inc have failed, the patronage office has not pro.
duced the expected effect, the ISLANDERS invented
by parasites, and spread about BY yenal presses
