Great Clay Meeting IN PHILADELPHIA.
For some days previous, notice sioned bv NOV.
than seven hundred citizens, reonested u,sa.;, g
the friends of Henry Clay, in the CITY Of Phadal,
phia. On Monday last, the meeting was held. atten.
ded by five thousand citizens. We annex tn. official
report of Its proceedings, and the comments of tb
United States Gazette
Our ne'ghbor has found it polite of late. to ex
press some alarm at Mr. CIay's prospects Aftcr ,-o
nouncing him "degraded" and "faIlen never r. rsa
again. ne has within the course of the last fort nbt
affected to consider him Formidable and as stronrer
than either Calhoun or Van Buren,! This nre-
clous confession would never have been arted nt
for The aspect which things wore in This qunrter. He
wishes TO preserve the Jacksonans united to keen
henry Clay, and to keep dcwn--somethinr else.
we can appreciate the latter motive, but whv "a q
virginia politician should he any LONGER pretend to
prefer Jackson to Clay? The Veto we acknow,edoe
ahorded some pretext for considering Gen Jackson
friend OF limited ruction: but has no mot oh,,
"o"eu liie Fe'o' DID he not in March, sign naany
bills subscribing to the stock of Improvement Com
paneS on the exact principle of the Maysyille Road
Dd he not In his Message of December, declare for
the Tariff? Now these two things of the Tariff and
Improvement, are the very sins which Virginia has
objected TO Henry Clay, and exempt from which, his
popularity in this his native State would outsrin all
competition. In these respects Gen. Jackson is aa
much sinner as Mr. Clay: Why therefore is Gen.
jackson such favoritc with certain people-so sa f
so excellent choice for President-and WHY is
Henry Clay such bug bear, such terror Whv IS
me hrst forced upon our contemplation as all that is
desirable, and the last denounced as all that ia dan

answer the question. We could explain the incon-

unblushiDg inconsistency and assign the private rea
