! "Be,oare Of the Jes'ts."-Under this head that
sphinx of consistency" the Richmond ENQUIRER, has
vented half column more of spleen and ill-nature
against Mr. Clay and his friends. Perhaps the world
has never yet parallel to the gross malevolent
and nnprovoked assaults which this self same Enoui-
rer has repeatedly made and is continually maxine
| upon Henry Clay. The constant abuse of that in
ljured and eminent man, seems to be its meat and
drink. If it were not for some such thcma, upop
which to disgorge his venom the senior Editor would
possibly hardly survive its corrosive influence If Mr.
Clay's friends III their honest zeal to sustain him
against the Internal and viperous spirit of ne resolution
which Is abroad in the country, happen to express a
wish that he may be elected Prcsident--,he cry is
forthwith raised by the Enqurer-of Gtctious opooN~
ton! unbridleG ambition. t,uceiGns orator, The
alarm is immediately rung through the country--that
the Kentucky Legislature at its next session. design
to nominate MIR. Clay for the Presidency! The jack
zcalos mm edately warned to oe OF the alert

Richie upon the heads of Mr.. Cuys friends for their
indiscretion On the other hand, if others of Mr..
Cays friends the editor of the Cincinnati Gazette for
cxample) deny that there is any intention or design o
nominate him winter for the Presidency-;f they
moreover declare that the personal elevation Of Mr.
Clay, is not their first and that they
willing to abandon him, if by any other means the
country can be saved from misunderstanding the
Enquirer trumpet tongued yells out 'beware OF the
lesuits--and it treats its readers with tissue Of
| cant and rbaldry to prove that Death turks in the
pot, and that horrible schemes rein agitation Moth
ing whatever will please the squeamsh gentlemau's
palate. No matter what course Mr.. Clay's friends
pursue, they charged with connecting some dire
conspiracy to elevate their leader. Verify we believe
that Mr. Richie would be satisfied with nothing short
of the entire extirpation OF Mr.. Clay and lis whole
party.
But in truth, it is easy perceive the point in
which Mr.. Richie is CALLED. He starts at the sug-
gestion made by his fancy that Judge MLcan
will be probably brought the western candi-
date, aud then farewell forever the prospects of
''dear Van Buren," Are you thus to he dubbed Mr..
M'Lean?" asks the sapient editor Of the Enquirer.
We will venture say that Judge M'I.ean is not to
be bubbled by Mr.. Richie. That Mr. Nj Lean is dis
gusted with the pursued by the present admins
tration, is as plain as that wo e. make four. Indie
pendent of that vile and narrow system of prescription
which has made the nation laughing stock, even be-
You'd the Atlantic, the late Postmaster General is too
sagncious MOTTO perceive that most insidious and
despicable attack will be made next winter upon the
settled policy of the country He is moreover heart
and soul opposed to Rtchies dear friend Martin, and
all his political jugglery. Richie cannot Mr.
M'Lean into the support of Van Buren,.
