Appeals like the above, TO the friends of Mr. Clay in
Kentucky, are continually coming to us from every
section of the Union. They cannot be read without
thrll of the blood like that, which is excited b. ar

friends that kentucky is doing her duty. Never in any
State, was the change in public sentiment rapid
