VI The late Hood Of news has been saccccded as
usual by an absolute dearth, and we avail ourselves
OF the leisure and space thus afforded spread be
fore the reader Mr.. Cny's speech ct Cncinnati-a
document intimately connected with the political his
tory ofthc day, and ranking among the highest eff
forts OF that distinguished gentleman.
From his enemies, this speech has drawn fresh i'm
precautions and abuse,he best evidence of it's supe-
rlority To this remark notice one exception
Mr. Walsh of tho National Gazette. lnimical in q
high degree to Mr. Clay, personally and politically
the Cincinnati speech has nevertheless extortcd
from the Philadelphia La Harpo. warmth of appro.
baton which the critic may indeed uniformly fee
for his own works but which he rarely dispcnses &c
those OF others AS an incentive to the perusal Of
Mr. Clay's speech, we preface it with the comments
of the Editor ofthe National Gazette.
From the National Gazette.
we received the day before yesterday the Cincinnati Anne
Iican containing Mr. Clays speech the Mechanics Cola
ton ia Ono appears to have been prepared for
by HIMSELF and on the whole able aud impressive compo
siton We have made for fret page considerable ex
tract from H. IN which the complaints and doctrines the
Carolina Nuors earnestly refued We are reioced 10
Ind that the orator contTover the opinion that

OF the members
In the first part Of speech advers to the Bank of N.
United States IN answer interoga;ory the subject He
msnded in the Message Of the President the
OF the last session Of Congress; but that as the existing
adj
mn,s,ered and particularly late years, with ability
inegty that "it has fulfilled all the expectation,
oil tose who constituted land has made
towards the equalization Of the currency great as IL prac
cable" Tie treats the question OF the charter
obviously premature Mr. Clay has opportunity OF
becoming infinitely acquainted with the manage Of he
concerns of the Bank in the Western country
The last third, Of the speech devoted Pres
dent Jacksons Neto Message, which handled great SC
yery Mr. Clay denies that It conveys the sentiments and
views oil the Presidcnt;he describes the work the
bnet of elaborate mosaic, reminded hin Of

In the last paragraph two the speech remark the
following sentences THE present Mag sate has done
me much wrong but have freely forgiven He believed
nave no doubt that mad done him previous wrong
though am unconscious OF IT, he had that
duct towards recollert that some Of MIR Claw
trends were loudly wroth with for giving General Jackson
even so much credit The IorgireeSs very sknely

We may appear fasdious, cannn, refrain from cx
pressing idea that the whole Message

President In our humble judgment that relation the
Try and government imposes cautious strict abS
from whatever might be interpreted
eerng party opposition We know that in England tho
leading politicians arTaycd against seeking
direct aud active hosves Parliament sometimes
though rarely public dinners But the struggle
under the throne for subacn functions Chief

lead against the by the statesman likely
willing 10 succeed him.
