to settle, in peace and harmony, this most vexa-
tious question. In all that concerns the high in.
terests 0fthe nation--in all that affects her hap
piness-in all that relates TO her prosperity-in
all that is to perpetuate her union-Mr. Clay
will be found in the front ranks, contending for
these interests, this happiness, this prosperity,
and this Union
The miserable party feeling of the day may In
duce contrary sentiment to be entertained from
what is here expressed; but the true lover of his
country, Invested Of prejudice, must rejoice to
see HENRY CLAY in the Senate Of the United
States.
The Viee Presidency. The dominant party
are not al all decided as to who shall be their can
didate for the VicePresidency. One paper recon-
mends X. NJ. Johnson, another 6. NJ. Dallas
another William Wilkins, another Mahlon Dick
erson-another P. P. Barbour and SO forth to
the end Of the chapter. In addition to this,
there exists no little dispute as to the manner in
which, aud the time when their candidate shall
be nominated. One portion is for having grand
9Th Of January National Convention for that pur-
pose-another is for putting the matter to rest
by state nominations. As far as we are concern
ell, it is Of course a matter Of no consequence,
who they may choose, or when they may propose
him to the people We only hope for the honor
of the country. that it may be some deceut, moral
aud respectable gentleman aud not either Ken
dali, Lewis, or Mai. Lee
The opponents of there-election of Gen. Jack
son are equally undecided as to their candidate
for the Vice Presidency. The names of William
Writ, James Barbour, Judge Spencer, Daniel
Webster, sc. have been mentioned. As far as
the Vice Presidency is concerned, the members
Of the National Republican Convention general
Nv are uncommitted, so that the vote of the Con-
vention, after a serious elaboration, and can
did examination OF the whole ground. will settle
the question as to the National Republican can
dilate. He will be, Of course, some one in whom
we can all place confidence, and of whose tai
ents and int, gritty there can be no question:
We are not certain that Mr. Writ may not be
this candidate. The patty thai has nominated
hun ma, by that time, be perfectly convinced
that he stands not the least chance As a candidate
for the Presidency. They may wish to release
him from his engagement as their candidate. In
tins event, should Mr.. Writ receive the support
OF the Convention, he will come before the peO-
pie with every prospect of success. We do not
know pubic man in the country who would fill
the Office of Vice Pre- ,ident De ter ihan Mr. Writ
lie has manv qualifications for that station which
must forcibly present themselves to public consi
Iteration. At any rate, the National Republican
Party are determined to have man on their
ticket whose name vii! do honor III any cause or
any country.
