Clay, and the choice of President worthy of the
American Pcople-a man who. will receive from the
Office, less lustre than he irnparts-worthy to sill

noble, able and magnaninous-abo the meanness
OF welding the power of his office to inict revene
! upon his private enemies-a friend to ma, every
where, and his rights-no .spafenc' Republican who
carries RePubicanism ON his lips, and tyranny and
intolerance in his heart; but Republican who ex-
tends to all, the wide liberty of opinion which he
claims for himself-a not indebted to the chance
OF an hour for fame which fills the world but To a
genus and worth, independent of chance and 10 a
series of splendid and SUI cessful exertiops in the
service of his country. Americans! behold the man
worthy of filling the most dgnified and responsible
office IN the world. Sianderers. and assassins of
character "reformers' and yrau,s of onnion, en-:
cfus'ce Republicans, who punish every difference of
opinion, and the independent exercise of tie elective
franchise! hasten your work. for the hour .pprocbes
