FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST O. 1880.

The following sample OF good taste and wit, &C.
ours in the Enquirer ofTucsday last:
The w Wilmington Watchman calls Mr.. CLAY the
Eating Hero of the Coalitions,s, aud Mr. Barton the
Dr'nknS Hero. 1t says, that as the former invokes
sWar, Pcsiencc, ami + anime upon his country and
tho latter wishes guilotne the men of her choice
thelr powers should be unifed-and hat such a spec
tacic would afford "a finished view of their American
system Htte surprising the late nscklncai dinner
at Washington.
SuchIs the tone of remark INDUCED in towards a
man. who has for 20 years filed the mos, distinguish
cd places in the service of the country, and now
holds abroad and at home, the first rank among her
citizens for patriotism and abilities Is it possible
that even Jackson appetite will never be sntiated
With the abuse Of Henry Clay? II he has the mis-
fortune to differ from Mr.. Richie and his allies in
their construction of the Constitution, does that cir.
cumStancc authorize the untiring muligni,y, which
no' satisfied with driving Mr. Clay from the public
councils, hunts hun through all the walks Of private
lie: is there TO he end int rmission no relax

Rugged to his bosom-shall all these things come to
pass, and he not be able 10 find in his heart n drop
of mercy towards his early personal friend, the nun
whose voice witha was trumpet TO his country in
the day OF real peril
The malice with which Henry Clay has been Dur
sued since December 1924 as a public and as pri-
ratc man, 40 help Cod we believe for rceu,-
!essness and long continuance, to be without anv

any other country. 1t has been said that Mr. Def
ierson was more and for greater length Of time
pursued by chc macvocnce of party; bur he was sue
cessful and the abuse of his enemies when his oon
duct was sustained by the public was not calculated
to interrupt bis tranquility. In Mr.. Clays case
there is popularity, absence of generosity very
unlike the ordinary feelings of people of this
country 1t does not accord with their ma gnanimity
10 insult Those whom they have vnn1mshod. Dofea-
ted at the election of lGeG, and cocrced to retire to
private station, Mr.. Clay had right to expect
cessnsion of the violent assaults of his enemies
How this expectation hns been disappointed-how
those assaults have multiplied and grown in vndic
tveness, we need not say. Every Jackson paper IS
full of evidence of the fact Even the abortions of
the wretched administration which for the first time
has polluted the soil OF America with tyranny. Mr.
Clay has been made to suffer for. To take off the
attention of the public from the scenes of prescription
which disgrace land of liberty-to divert scrutiny
from the ridiculous petticoat inrigues of the Palace,
and to hide the failure of every promise which atten-
ccd the birth of the admnistra ton-the pensioncd
press has from Maine to Louisiana opened its bate
ries upon Henry Clay, and sought to conceal the or
rors and denominations of Jacksonsm, in the smoke
ofthe cannonade
lp mr. Of Pifcla A

troy Mr. Clay by their sncers--iteir sneeys-Ieaven
help the mark. a hopeful undertaking truly There
Is point of reaction for abuse and prosecutions and
this point the enemies of Mr. Clay have reached

from all the Parishes in the elections for Governor
