but recently been bestowed upon the idol. for the
sake of effect. The design is TO make the farmers
of the North believe that Jackson is like them,
tiller of the soil. with his own hands But let them
not be deceived. " hen we speak Of farmer here,
in the middle. eastern and northern states, we mean
the honest manly yenman, who goes forth to the
fields with his sons and his hired men himself--who
works with his own hands cuts the widest swath
with his scythe. and the cleanest gave with his SIC
kle. But how is Jackson a farmer? Doe, lhe la
bour himself, or do his sons, or his relatives carr
their bread in the sweat Of their face, like the har-
dy farmers Of the North Mot they! jackson Is
no further farmer than that he cracks the task mas

Which like your asses, and your dogs and mules,

Mr.. Clay's defence. For upwards of twenty-five
years we have been conversant with Mr.. Clay, and
have had opportunity of hearing most of the an
ecdotes told of him. Our acquaintance warranted
the utmost confidence in his political principles and
moral integrity and therefore at all times retus-
ed to credit the charge of corruption in the last pre-
Isdentia election. We could not believe Mr.. Clay
|capable of such weak and base act-he who had
labored to acquire reputation, would not for the
pitiful consideration alleged commit the deed that
must PROSTATE him forever.
| Before the last Presidential election no man in
| the Union stood higher than Mr.. Clay as man OF
talents and patrot-in defence of liberty his voice
had always been heard, and he had in Congress, al
Ghent, at Lexington, and every where else, (where
he appeared) signalized himself as the champion Of
the rights of man, and the jealous advocate of the
glory and prosperity of his country. The protec.
