This is now the watchword of the coalition bar.y

"Prcsuming that an attempt will De made by TIE
next Legislature Of Kentucky, TO put into nouina.
ton our distinguished fellow citizen, H. Clay, ~
a candidate for the next President Of the Upited
Statcs--we deem it important that public avow-
al OF the determination OF all candidates on Ihis

The writer then proceeds 10 call on Capt Whit
tington, OF Woodfor'!, who is candidate ioY the
Legislature, TO give pledge that he will assist in
nominating Mr.. Clay, at the next session, ~ :
candidate for the Presidency.
We are now in possession Of the fact. that Nj
Clay's friends have resolved TO urge his immediate
nomination for the Chief Magisracy. This was an
ticipated. Such is the restlessness of Mr.. Clsy,s
ambition, that he is unwilling TO permit the
country TO enjoy single year Of political rerose

of Gen. Jackson TO tho Presidency, they have

man ought to be elected to the Legislature who
will not ego the whole" for Mr.. Clay-wbile, In
those counties in which the republicans have de-
cided majorities, the conduct of the coalitionists
has been mild and conciliating in the ex,xeme,
BY this device they imagined thew would be able
TO secure sufficient majority in the next Legp
lature, TO insure the nomination OF Mr. Clay fop the
Presidency.

fellow citizens, they will spurn this attempt to
pledge the State to oppose the administration O.
Gen. jackson, before that administration has had
time or opportunity to develope its views on the
cardinal interests ofthe nation. The people will
concur with that il would be alike iilibera snI
unwise were they to turn their faces against a
patriotic President, chosen by themselves in obe-
dlence to the unchastened aspirations of Mr.. CLAW
Not only the republican party, but the peopla
generally. owe il to themselves to give the pre-.
sent Executive fair trial.

my dear sir--This morning Major W B., elI-
esq son OF the secretary, introduced me 20 the Pre-
siieDt, and his truly amiabe and interestn fam
lily. Tho reception he gave us was unostentationo,
gentlemanly and friendly. Uo appeared in much
better health than expected 10 find him. He i.
far from being the emaciated slender figure he bag
been represented TO us. ] should Judge his frame
To be muscular, and capable of sustaining rreat
bodily and mental fatigue; and can draw no con
illusions from the human face divine, if he does
not go through the next eight or ten years with a
comfortable share OF health and endowment
This will be cheering information 70 the MANI
thousands who devouty pray for a protracted or
istence to the utmost limits Of human life 10 one
whose devoted patriotism and gallant services
have contributed so largely TO the stability, glory
and independence Of our country.
"Since his inauguration the President has de-
voted the whole Of his time TO public business
Having no exclusive hours for recreation he has
omitted TO take necessary air and exercise and
his friends have in consequence been anticipatine

with pleasure that heard him remark this rnorn,
ing that he was sensible Of having ne eIected him
sell, and that he should commence on the morroFy
to ride out on horseback, and should do so ever
day when the we atber permitted
Il respectfully suggested some consideration,
to induce the President TO Wait the state of Y
this summer; and in the name Of my fellow towns
men invited him 10 visit Albany, where nanv :
his most ardent friends resided and where his re
cepiion would correspond with the warmth of Thai
attachment. lie said shat he had reserved 10
himself the pleasure of visiting the interior of The
state OF New York sometime next year, but ina.
his numerous and pressing duties forbade Il tb;a
year; that there were many citizens In Albany
whose acquaintance would give him much n,ss
sure, and that he would visit that city, on bis wav
10 the Niagara river, the falls Of which be was de-,
sirous OF seeing, well as trayersjDy the bat,rs
grounds on that frontier" In this aIranpeme1,
The ladies Of his family warmly acquiesced prooo-
sing as an amendment this for The neat summer
have no doubt that in due time, they will remind
the President Of his implied engagement 10 visit
our STATE we may therefore expect hickory gar
lands in his best taste, TO be in no small
demand at Albany, about the LIST June 1890.
