With the abuse of Henry Claye If he has the mis-
fortune to differ from Mr.. Ritchie and his allies in
their nstruotion of the Constitution does that cir

Inc malice with which Henry Clay has been pur-
sued since December 1924, as public and as a pr

there Is popularity, an absence of generosity very
unlike the ordinary feelings of the people of this
country 1t does not accord with their magnanimity.
TO insult those whom they have vanquished Dcfea
